AND
      CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT




As
      a condition of becoming employed or retained as a consultant by Xcorporeal,
      Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any of its current or future
      affiliates, successors or assigns, collectively, the “ **Company** ”),
      and
      in consideration of my employment or consulting relationship with the Company
      and my receipt of the compensation paid to me by the Company, I agree to the
      following:




Recitals




A. The
      Company is dedicated to a policy of exerting a significant influence in its
      chosen fields through technical innovation and creative administration and
      marketing. The competitive success of this policy depends to a large extent
      on
      the Company’s ability to maintain a free flow of pertinent information among its
      employees and consultants.




B. All
      key employees and consultants are required to sign this standard Agreement,
      under which: (i) requirements are specified for avoiding conflicting
      outside activities while associated with the Company, (ii) the Company is
      assured of disclosure of, and exclusive rights to, my inventions, ideas and
      works which relate to Company business, and (iii) the Company is protected
      against unauthorized disclosure of confidential information of the Company
      or
      other persons and against retention of Company records.




Agreement




1. Confidential
      Information .




(a) I
      agree at all times during the term of my relationship with the Company and
      thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to (i) use, except for
      the benefit of the Company, (ii) disclose to any person or entity without
      written authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company, or
      (iii) make copies of, except as authorized by Company, any of the
      following: confidential or proprietary information, inventions, trade secrets,
      know-how, theories, research, data, plans, products, services, suppliers,
      customers, prices, costs, markets, software, hardware, developments,
      improvements, processes, formulas, methods, technology, machines, apparatus,
      designs, drawings, engineering, configurations, laboratory notebooks, licenses,
      finances, budgets or projections, directly or indirectly created, conceived,
      invented, made, discovered, developed, worked on, learned by or disclosed to
      me
      during the course of my relationship with the Company, either orally, in
      writing, or by observation, whether or not during working hours (all of the
      foregoing, collectively, “ **Confidential
      Information** ”).




(b) Confidential
      Information includes, but is not limited to, information pertaining to any
      aspect of the Company’s business or any use or application arising out of or
      relating to any: (i) portable or continuous dialysis method or device,
      specifically including any wearable artificial kidney, or related device,
      (ii) portable or continuous ultra-filtration method or device, specifically
      including any congestive heart failure device, or related device,
      (iii) device, method or treatment for kidney failure or congestive heart
      failure, (iv) “Technology” or “Licensed Product” as defined in the Company’s
      September 1, 2006 License Agreement, or (v)




1




medical
      device, treatment or method substantially similar in functionality to any of
      the
      foregoing; (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “ **Products** ”).




(c) Confidential
      Information does not include any information that is publicly and widely known
      and made generally available through no wrongful act of mine or of others who
      were under confidentiality obligations. In these regards, although certain
      information or technology may be generally known in the relevant industry,
      the
      fact that the Company uses same, and how the Company uses same, may not be
      so
      known and therefore is Confidential Information. Furthermore, the fact that
      various fragments of information or data may be generally known in the relevant
      industry does not mean that the manner in which the Company combines them and
      the results obtained thereby are so known and in such instance are also
      Confidential Information. Confidential Information also does not include
      information that I can show be clear and convincing documentary evidence was
      known to me prior to its disclosure to me by the Company.




(d) I
      recognize that the Company has received and in the future will receive from
      third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty
      on
      the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to
      use it only for certain limited purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential
      or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose
      it to
      any person or entity, or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work
      for the Company, consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party.




2. Conflicts
      of Interest .




(a) During
      the term of my employment or consulting relationship with Company, I will not,
      without the prior written approval of the President or Chief Executive Officer
      of the Company, directly or indirectly, participate in or assist any person
      or
      business that is a current or potential competitor, customer or supplier of
      the
      Company. For these purposes, a current or potential competitor of the Company
      is
      any person or entity that has developed, is developing, is seeking to develop,
      or is selling, marketing or distributing any Products **.** I
      understand that the purpose of these restrictions is to avoid conflicts of
      interest and to avoid inadvertent trade secret disclosure during periods I
      am
      most likely to retain valuable Company trade secrets.




(b) I
      represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and my work
      for
      the Company does not and will not breach any invention assignment, proprietary
      information, confidentiality or other agreement with any former employer or
      other party, or create any conflict of interest with anyone. I will not disclose
      to the Company or use for the benefit of the Company any confidential
      information derived from sources other than employment or consultation with
      the
      Company. I agree that if I am in doubt as to the confidential status of any
      information, I will refer to an executive officer of the Company the question
      of
      whether such information is available for disclosure and use for the benefit
      of
      the Company.




(c) I
      have not and will not enter into any other agreement with any other person
      or
      entity, either written or oral, in conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

      patentable or copyrightable (collectively, “ **Work
      Product** ”),
      that
      I create, conceive, invent, make, discover, develop, work on, or reduce to
      practice, in whole or in part, during the term of my employment or consulting

      I will
      hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company all Work Product

      Company. I hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assign, transfer
      and convey to the Company all Work Product and all rights in, to, arising out
      of, or relating to any Work Product, including without limitation all patents,

      protections in all countries, except Personal Inventions and inventions that

      any other applicable law. I hereby appoint the Company’s Secretary or any other
      officer of the Company as my attorney-in-fact and agent to execute all documents

      if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions.




(g) If,
      in the course of my relationship with the Company, I incorporate into a Company
      product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by me (or, to the extent

      granted and shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual,
      worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy,

      flow charts, electronic data or recordings, laboratory notebooks, and any other
      format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the
      Company at all times. I will not remove such records from the Company’s place of
      business except as expressly permitted by Company policy for the purpose of
      furthering the Company’s business.
