This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about February 17, 2006. Voting Securities and Voting Rights The close of business on January 30, 2006, has been fixed as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 35,693,128 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $.005 per share (the "Common Stock"), issued and outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the record date is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Each share is entitled to one vote on all issues requiring a stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes for the election of Directors. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal 1. Broker non-votes will not be counted in tabulations of the votes cast on Proposal 1 and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies previously have been revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions on the proxies. If no direction is indicated, the shares will be voted FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES NAMED HEREIN. The enclosed proxy, even though executed and returned, may be revoked at any time prior to the voting of the proxy (i) by the execution and submission of a revised proxy, (ii) by written notice to the Secretary of the Company or (iii) by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Solicitation The Company will pay for the cost of this solicitation and may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Proxies also may be solicited by certain of our directors and officers, personally or by telephone or email, without additional compensation. Delivery of Proxy Materials and Annual Report to Households The Securities and Exchange Commission has implemented a rule permitting companies and brokers, banks or other intermediaries to deliver a single copy of an annual report and proxy statement to households at which two or more beneficial owners reside. This method of delivery, which eliminates duplicate mailings, is referred to as "householding." Beneficial owners sharing an address who have been previously notified by their broker, bank or other intermediary and have consented to householding, either affirmatively or implicitly by not objecting to householding, will receive only one copy of the Company's Annual Report and this proxy statement. 3 If you hold your shares in your own name as a holder of record, householding will not apply to your shares. Beneficial owners who reside at a shared address, at which a single copy of the Company's Annual Report and this proxy statement is delivered may obtain a separate Annual Report and/or proxy statement without charge by sending a written request to: CDEX INC., 1700 Rockville Pike, Suite 400, Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: Investor Relations, or by calling the Company at (301) 881-0080. The Company will promptly deliver an Annual Report and proxy statement upon request. Not all brokers, banks or other intermediaries may offer the opportunity to permit beneficial owners to participate in householding. If you want to participate in householding and eliminate duplicate mailings in the future, you must contact your broker, bank or other intermediary directly. Alternately, if you want to revoke your consent to householding and receive separate annual reports and proxy statements for each beneficial owner sharing your address, you must contact your broker, bank or other intermediary to revoke your consent. Annual Report and Other Matters Our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, which is being mailed to stockholders with this proxy statement, contains financial and other information about the Company, but is not incorporated into this proxy statement and is not to be considered a part of these proxy soliciting materials or subject to Regulations 14A or 14C or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. PROPOSAL ONE ------------ ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Our by-laws require that at least 1/4 of the total number of directors be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders and that such directors serve for a term of two years or until their successors have been elected and qualified. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that until December 11, 2006, the holders of our outstanding Class B shares will be entitled to elect a majority of our directors. Two directors are to be elected at the meeting. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for each of the nominees named below. In the event that any such nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by the current Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. The Board of Directors has no reason to expect that any nominee will be unable or will decline to serve as a director. A nominee for election must receive a plurality of the votes cast to be elected as a director. Stockholders have no right to vote cumulatively for directors, but rather each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder for each director. Nominees for Director The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the nominees listed below. The following table sets forth certain information regarding our directors and nominees for director. Nominees: James Griffin 56 Chief Executive Officer, President and Director Donald W.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the Company is managed in the best interest of its stockholders. The Directors oversee the Company's business. As part of this process, the Directors consult with the Company's independent auditors. The Board of Directors has four regularly scheduled meetings each year and additional meetings are scheduled as needed. In addition, the Board has a Compensation Committee that meets periodically and whose responsibilities are described below. Our Board of Directors held five (5) meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. Each of our directors attended at least 75% or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during fiscal 2005, and (ii) the total number of meetings held by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on which such person served during fiscal 2005. Compensation Committee The Compensation Committee, which held one (1) meeting during fiscal 2005, administers the Company's Stock Incentive Plans, establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and sets policy for compensation of all senior management and directors. During fiscal 2005, Mr. Liaw served as Chairman of the Compensation Committee. CDEX Inc. CODE OF ETHICS The Board of Directors has adopted this Code of Ethics to guide the conduct of its directors, officers and employees in the conduct of the Company's business and financial dealings. All directors, officers and employees of the Company are expected to be familiar with this Code of Ethics and to adhere to and apply the principles and procedures set forth herein. The Company has designated Dr. B.D. Liaw as the Code of Ethics Contact Person for allegations dealing with officers and directors and Tim Shriver as the Code of Ethics Contact Person for allegations dealing with other CDEX employees. Should you have any questions or concerns or wish to discuss a possible violation of this Code of Ethics, you should contact Dr. Liaw or Tim Shriver 301-881-0800 and 520-514-6393, respectively. 6 The general purposes of this Code of Ethics are as follows: o To create a corporate culture and business environment in which the legitimate interests of stockholders, employees, customers and suppliers and other stakeholders are all fairly and openly represented and in which all feel, as far as possible, they are treated fairly. o To promote honest, open, candid and ethical conduct, including fair dealing and the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest; o To promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable financial and other disclosure; o To promote compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; o To ensure the protection of the Company's legitimate business interests, including corporate opportunities, assets and confidential information; and o To deter wrongdoing and, when it occurs, detect and swiftly deal with it and its consequences for the company's stakeholders fairly. Set forth below are the specific rules governing the conduct of directors, officers and employees which form the substance of this Code of Ethics. Each director, officer and employee should read them carefully and commit to upholding them in the pursuit of the Company's business and financial affairs. I. Honest and Candid Conduct Each director, officer and employee must act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information in compliance with the Company's policies for the handling of confidential information as outlined in more detail in the company's standard non disclosure and non compete agreements. In addition, each director, officer and employee must adhere to the highest standard of business ethics and observe the letter, form and spirit of state and federal laws, as well as governmentally mandated accounting standards and other rules and regulations. II. Conflicts of Interest/Corporate Opportunities A "conflict of interest" arises when an individual's personal interest or position in the corporate management structure interferes with or is inconsistent with the interests of the Company or with the carrying out their duties in the best interests of the Company. A conflict of interest can arise when a director, officer or employee takes any action outside the Company or has any interest outside the Company that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Even the appearance of such a situation may create a conflict of interest. Any director, officer or employee contemplating a material transaction or relationship which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, should discuss it with the Code of Ethics Contact Person prior to taking any action. Service to the Company should never be subordinated to personal gain and advantage. Conflicts of interest must be avoided and when detected they must be reported and action taken to relieve them immediately upon detection. The following are examples of potential cases of conflict of interest. This list, however, is by no means exhaustive: o Significant ownership or other financial interest in any supplier or customer of the Company; o Any consulting, employment or other financial relationship with any supplier, customer or competitor of the Company; o Any outside business activity which detracts from an individual's ability to devote an appropriate amount of time and/or attention to the Company; o Using company assets or influence for personal use or benefit; o Receipt of non-nominal gifts of excessive entertainment from any company with which the Company has current or prospective business dealings or from supervised employees; o Selling anything to the Company or buying anything from the Company, other than on similar terms and conditions as would prevail in an arms-length transaction; or o Actions that would present a conflict for a director, officer or employee if taken by a family member with knowledge of the director, officer or employee. 7 Directors, officers and employees of the Company are prohibited from taking (directly or indirectly) a business opportunity that is discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position, unless the Company has approved in writing or been offered the opportunity and declined it. Any director, officer or employee contemplating such a transaction or business opportunity should first discuss it with the appropriate Code of Ethics Contact. Simply put, it is imperative that all put the company's interest first. While a more comprehensive discussion of the Company's sexual harassment or racial prejudice policy will be discussed in the Company's Employee Manual, in short, the Company will not be tolerated such action or the failure to report to the appropriate Code of Ethics Contact such action, both of which will dealt with equally. III. Disclosure Every director, officer or employee who is directly involved in the Company's financial affairs or decision-making or is part of the Company's SEC/public disclosure process must be familiar with and comply with the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, to the extent relevant to his or her area of responsibility. This also extends to ensuring that the Company's public disclosure documents filed with the SEC comply in all material respects, with the applicable securities laws and SEC rules and regulations. Such persons should consult with other Company officials with the goal of making full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure. Such persons must properly review and critically analyze proposed disclosure for accuracy and completeness and must not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, including the Company's independent auditors, counsel or governmental or self-regulatory organizations (such as the NASD). IV. Compliance It is the personal responsibility of each director, officer and employee to uphold the Company's policy of complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed thereby. It is against Company policy and, in many circumstances, illegal for a director, officer or employee to profit from undisclosed, nonpublic Company information. This includes trading in the Company's securities (either directly or indirectly) while in possession of material nonpublic information relating to the Company. Any director, officer or employee who is uncertain about the legality of a purchase or sale or business relationship or witnesses a violation of this code, should immediately consult with the Code of Ethics Contact Person who will, if appropriate, discuss the matter with the board of directors and/or Company counsel. V. Reporting and Accountability The Code of Ethics Contact Person will report all potential violations of this Code of Ethics to the Company's CEO. With respect to allegations of Code of Ethics violations related to employees who are not officers or directors, the CEO will be responsible for directing an appropriate investigation and, in conjunction with the Code of Ethics Contact Person for Employees, administering appropriate corrective actions. The board of directors will be responsible for directing an appropriate investigation and administering appropriate corrective action with respect to allegations of Code of Ethics violations related to officers or directors of the Company. The Company's board of directors is responsible for final interpretation of the Code of Ethics. The Company will not tolerate any delay in or failure to report or any retaliation against any other director, officer or employee who, in good faith, reports any existing or potential violation of this Code of Ethics. If a violation has occurred, the Company will take such disciplinary or preventive action as it deems appropriate. In certain cases, this may involve dismissal or notification of appropriate governmental authorities for appropriate prosecution or other action. VI. Waiver From time to time, the Company may waive one or more provisions of this Code of Ethics. But this can only be done in writing. Any request for a waiver of any provision of this code must be in writing and addressed to the board of directors. Prior to submitting a request for a waiver, you should consult with the appropriate Code of Ethics Contact Person. In certain cases, waivers of this Code of Ethics must be reported on Form 8-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Approved by the CDEX Board of Directors on the date, January 26, 2005 8 Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance The officers, directors and 10% stockholders of CDEX timely filed all reports subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, with the exception of Timothy Shriver who filed a Form 4 on December 1, 2005 to report sales of common stock dating to August 1, 2005.

Employment Agreements The Company entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Philips and Shriver effective January 1, 2002. The agreements each continue for an indefinite period unless terminated by CDEX for "cause," or by the employee for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the agreements), or upon two weeks prior written notice by either party to the other. The agreements provide for salaries based on annual amounts of $300,000 for Mr. Philips and $250,000 for Mr. Shriver, which are subject to review on an annual basis. The salary shall be payable in equal monthly installments, unless otherwise required by applicable state law and, based on CDEX's economic posture, may be paid in cash and/or stock, at CDEX's option. Each agreement provides for a minimum monthly cash payment to the employee of $7,500 for Mr. Shriver and $3,000 for Mr. Philips. CDEX has availed itself of this option for the past three fiscal years as reflected under "Compensation of Executive Officers." Each of these agreements provides for the forfeiture of restricted stock granted to the employee in the event of the employee's termination before the stock is fully vested. Under the agreements, each employee is entitled to a severance package in the event of termination by CDEX other than for "cause" or by the employee for "good reason." In each case, "good reason" includes a change in management of CDEX. The agreements with Messrs. Philips and Shriver were amended on January 1, 2003 to increase the intended minimum monthly cash payment to the employee to $8,000, and permit CDEX to pay the entire salary in common stock if paying cash is not in the best interest of the Company. Mr. Philips resigned from the positions of Chief Executive Officer and President effective January 1, 2006, and the company entered into a Settlement and Consulting Agreement, as of said date, with an entity controlled by Mr. Philips, for Mr. Philips's continued services as the Company's Chairman of the Board and additional services as a consultant in order to assure a smooth and settled transition for the Company's new Chief Executive Officer. The agreement has a term of one year, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and may be terminated by either party on two weeks' notice. Pursuant to the agreement, through the Consultant, for Mr. Philips's services, the Company will continue to pay compensation of $2,500 cash per month. Effective January 11, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement of Mr. Shriver. The amendment to Mr. Shriver's employment agreement provides for an annual cash salary of $180,000 as well as options which will vest 1/3 on January 1, 2007, and 1/24th of the remainder on the first day of each month thereafter for the following two years, as long as he is providing to the Company substantial services pursuant to a contract with the Company at the time of vesting. The number of options will be determined in fiscal year 2006. The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Griffin effective October 1, 2005. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $240,000 which may be paid in combination of cash and stock at the Company's discretion, and a discretionary annual performance bonus of 25% of the annual salary.

In the event of a change of control in the Company (which shall be the sale of more than 50% of the Registrant), all unvested Stock Options shall immediately vest, effective as of the date of such change in control. The agreement continues for an indefinite period unless terminated by CDEX for "cause," or by Mr. Griffin for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the agreements), or upon two weeks prior written notice by either party to the other. The agreement provides that Mr. Griffin's employment will be "at-will" and may be terminated upon two weeks written notice by either party. 10 Effective January 11, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement of Mr. Griffin. The amendment provides for payment to Mr. Griffin of an annual cash salary of $204,000 as well as options which will vest 1/3 on January 1, 2007, and 1/24th of the remainder on the first day of each month thereafter for the following two years, as long as he is providing to the Company substantial services pursuant to a contract with the Company at the time of vesting. The number of options will be determined in fiscal year 2006. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS 2002 Stock Incentive Plan On May 27, 2002, our board of directors adopted the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, under which stock options and restricted stock may be granted to such of our officers, directors, employees or other persons providing services to CDEX as our board of directors, or a committee designated by them for this purpose, selects. The plan was approved by our stockholders on July 1, 2002. Stock options granted under the plan may be nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options, as provided in the plan. Incentive stock options are to be issued in accordance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, they may only be issued to employees of CDEX or any subsidiary of CDEX, and must have an exercise price of no less than 110% of fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The aggregate fair market value of the underlying shares cannot exceed $100,000 for any individual option holder during any calendar year. Also, incentive stock options must expire no later than five years from the date of grant. Non-incentive options are not subject to the restrictions contained in Section 422, except that pursuant to the plan, such options cannot be exercisable at less than 85% of fair market value and must expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. The options are non-transferable and may not be assigned except that non-incentive options may, in certain cases be assigned to family members of the grantee. Upon termination of the employment (other than for cause) of a grantee of options under this plan, the grantee shall have 60 days following such termination, or one year if such termination results from the grantee's death or disability (as defined in the plan), to exercise the vested portion of any option. Holders of options under the plan have no voting or other rights of shareholders except and to the extent that they exercise their options and are issued the underlying shares. Options under the plan may be exercised by the issuance of a promissory note from the grantee, or on a cashless basis by the grantee surrendering a portion of the shares issuable thereunder, as payment of the exercise price in lieu of cash. Restricted stock granted under this plan may be issued subject to any restrictions set by our board of directors in its discretion except that the vesting restrictions for restricted stock granted to individuals who are not officers, directors or consultants of CDEX shall lapse no less rapidly than the rate of 20% per year for each of the first five years from the grant date. However, the board of directors in its discretion may shorten or eliminate the restrictions. Generally, unless otherwise provided by the board of directors with respect to a particular grant of restricted stock, holders of restricted stock have the right to vote and receive dividends on their shares, including shares not yet vested. Also, unless otherwise so provided, any unvested shares are deemed forfeited by the grantee upon termination of such grantee's service with CDEX. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan - ------------------------- On July 1, 2003, our shareholders adopted the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, which has substantially the same terms as the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. We have reserved 10,000,000 shares in the aggregate for issuance under both the 2002 and 2003 plans, including 3,000,000 available for the Board of Directors to allocate to the Incentive Plan at their discretion as approved by the Shareholders at our June 2004 Annual Meeting. 11 To date, we have issued approximately 8,860,000 shares of common stock and 300,000 options under the plans to certain of our officers, directors, consultants and employees, which are subject to forfeiture in accordance with the vesting schedules set forth in the granting agreements. Shares issued pursuant to the plans, whether underlying options or as restricted stock, generally may not be sold or transferred without the grantee first offering CDEX a right of first refusal to purchase the shares sought to be sold.

The owners of DMR are executive officers and key employees and consultants of the Company. Total expenses of the Company related to services provided by DMR were $5,760 for the year ended October 31, 2004. The spouse of the Chief Executive Officer purchased one $100,000 convertible note in 2004 and one $62,000 convertible note in 2005 paying interest at 9%. Total interest expense paid to this related party was $666 and $483 for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The $100,000 note was redeemed at par value for cash in April 2004 and the $62,000 note was redeemed at par value for cash in March 2005. PROPOSAL TWO ------------ AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED CLASS A COMMON STOCK General The Company's current Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide for an authorized capitalization consisting of 39,300,000 shares of Class A common stock, 200,000 shares of Class B common stock and 500,000 shares of preferred stock. As of January 30, 2006, there were 35,693,128 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of both the company and its stockholders to increase the authorized shares of Class A common stock from 39,300,000 authorized shares to 50,000,000 shares. An increase in the number of shares of Class A common stock will not affect our authorized shares of preferred stock or Class B common stock. We will continue to have 500,000 shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance on terms deemed appropriate by our Board of Directors. We will also continue to have 200,000 shares of Class B common stock authorized although 175,000 shares of Class B common stock are issued and outstanding. Purpose The Board of Directors believes that this increase in authorized shares is necessary to in order for the Company to have available a sufficient number of shares of Class A common stock to allow it to take advantage of financing, acquisition and other business opportunities, which arise from time to time, in a timely manner without the delay of further stockholder approval (unless such approval is otherwise required by law or regulation or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or market). Future purposes for additional shares could include securing additional financing for the operation of the Company through the issuance of additional shares, issuance of shares of additional stock and options to employees as compensation, subdividing outstanding shares through stock splits, effecting acquisitions of other businesses, technologies or properties, or for general corporate purposes. The Company has no definite plan, commitment, agreement or understanding at this time to issue any shares of the proposed additional common stock. Although the Company has sufficient shares of Class A common stock to meet its existing obligations to issue Class A common stock, our ability to issue additional options, warrants, or other rights convertible into shares of our Class A common stock is limited. Effect of Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock The issuance by the Company of any additional shares of Class A common stock would dilute the equity interests of the existing holders of the Class A common stock. Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the amount of shares issued. The newly authorized shares of Class A common stock will have voting and other rights identical to those of currently authorized shares of Class A common stock. 14 Approval Required Approval to amend the current Articles of Incorporation of the Company under the Nevada Revised Statutes requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the company. The Board of Directors recommends a vote "For" this proposal to the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. PROPOSAL THREE -------------- AMENDMENT TO THE 2003 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER BY AN ADDITIONAL 3,500,000 Our board of directors has approved and submitted for stockholder approval an amendment to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The amendment is to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the Plan, either directly or through options issued under the Plan, by 3,500,000 shares. For a description of the Plan as well as our 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, see "Stock Incentive Plans" under Proposal One above. The board of directors may issue shares or options under the Plan from time to time in its discretion. Management believes that the ability to issue shares or options under the Plan, in lieu of or supplemental to cash compensation to CDEX's officer, employees and consultants, is an important tool for the recruitment of qualified individuals committed to our company's growth. The board has not yet determined how it will allocate the additional shares or options among the officers, employees and consultants if at all. Approval Required Approval to amend the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the company. The Board of Directors recommends a vote "For" this proposal to the amendment to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. PROPOSAL FOUR ------------- RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ARONSON & COMPANY AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING OCTOBER 31, 2006 The Board of Directors has selected Aronson & Company, as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2006, and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Aronson & Company has audited the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Representatives of Aronson & Company are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and be available to respond to appropriate questions. Approval Required Stockholder ratification of the selection of Aronson & Company as the Company's independent auditors is not required by the Company's By-laws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Aronson & Company to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. 15 The Board of Directors recommends a vote "For" this proposal to ratify the appointment of Aronson & Company as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2006. MATTERS TO BE PRESENTED As of the date of this proxy statement, the only matters which management intends to present, or is informed that others will present, for action at the Annual Meeting, are those set forth in this proxy statement and the accompanying notice of meeting. If any other matters are presented at the Annual Meeting, the accompanying proxy will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holders. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS Stockholders are entitled to present proposals for action at our 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders if they comply with the requirements of the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Proposals of shareholders of the Company that are intended to be presented for consideration at the Company's 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company no later than October 31, 2006, and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act o 1934, as amended, in order that they may be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials relating to that meeting. HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS The Securities and Exchange Commission rules permit registrants to send a single set of the annual report and proxy statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if the registrant believes they are members of the same family. Each shareholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive and reduces the expense to the registrant. We are in the process of implementing these householding rules with respect to its record holders, and a number of brokerage firms have instituted householding which may impact certain beneficial owners of our Class A common stock. If your family has multiple accounts by which you hold Class A common stock, you may have previously received a householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you have any questions, require additional copies of the proxy statement or annual report, or wish to revoke your decision to household, and thereby receive multiple reports. Those options are available to you at any time. EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION CDEX will bear the expenses of preparing and mailing this proxy material, as well as the cost of any required solicitation. In addition to this solicitation of proxies, the officers, directors and regular employees of CDEX, without receiving any additional compensation therefore, may solicit proxies by mail, telephone, or personal contact. CDEX will also request stockholders, banks and other fiduciaries to forward proxy material to their principals or customers who are the beneficial owners of shares and will reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
