Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of Xcorporeal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting (as defined below) described in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company and Dr. Victor Gura, the Company’s Chief Medical and Scientific Officer, have entered into the Gura Agreement (as defined below) that provides Dr. Gura with certain payments and benefits, as more fully described in Item 5.02(e) on this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In addition, in connection with the Company entering into the Gura Agreement, the Company also entered into a Settlement Agreement and Material Release (the “SMRH Agreement”), to satisfy Dr. Gura’s and the Company’s payment obligation for certain legal services rendered by Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP (“SMRH”) to Dr. Gura.  Such payment obligation by the Company to SMRH on Dr. Gura’s behalf arose pursuant to the terms of that certain Indemnification Agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”), dated as of October 13, 2006, between the Company and Dr. Gura.

 

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

Dr. Gura’s Employment Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2006, shall be terminated as described in Item 5.02(e) below by Dr. Gura’s resignation from his position as Chief Medical and Scientific Officer of the Company, effective as of the date of Closing (as defined below).

 

Item 4.01

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On March 17, 2010, the Company was notified by BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO Seidman”), its independent registered public accounting firm, that BDO Seidman is resigning as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.  Except as set forth herein, BDO Seidman’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  However, their report contained an explanatory paragraph disclosing the uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any disagreements with BDO Seidman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO Seidman, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of this disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

The Company requested BDO Seidman to furnish it a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of the BDO Seidman letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

   

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Material Compensatory Plan, Contract or Arrangement

On March 15, 2010, the Company and Dr. Gura entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Gura Agreement”) with respect to the termination of Dr. Gura’s employment with the Company on the date of closing of the transactions contemplated by the APA (as defined below) (the “Closing”).  The Agreement sets forth, among other things, certain payments to be made to Dr. Gura as a result of such termination.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Dr. Gura shall receive a severance payment in the amount of $200,000 (the “Payment”).  The Company shall pay on Dr. Gura’s behalf $150,000 to SMRH in consideration for certain legal services provided to Dr. Gura by SMRH (the “SMRH Payment”).  The SMRH Payment shall satisfy the Company’s obligations to pay certain indemnification expenses of Dr. Gura as agreed to under the Indemnification Agreement, between the Company and Dr. Gura, which includes all obligations of Dr. Gura to SMRH.  The Payment shall be paid by the Company to Dr. Gura within two business days after the date of the Closing.  The SMRH Payment shall be made as provided under the SMRH Agreement among the Company, Dr. Gura and SMRH.

Under the Gura Agreement, Dr. Gura has also agreed to release the Company from all claims through the date of the Closing and the Company has agreed to release Dr. Gura from all claims based on Dr. Gura’s employment with the Company through the date of Closing; provided, however, that the release shall not extend to Dr. Gura’s coverage under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.  Under the SMRH Agreement, SMRH, on the one hand, and Dr. Gura and the Company, on the other hand, agreed to release each other from all claims of any nature whatsoever.
