           (d)  Intellectual Property Rights. The Intellectual Property rights used in whole or in part in, or required for the carrying on of, the Business in the manner heretofore carried on are owned by, or validly licensed to, a member of the Company Group.  All of the Intellectual Property rights owned by the Company Group are in full force and effect and have not been used or enforced or failed to be used or enforced in a manner that would reasonably be expected to result in the abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability thereof.  No member of the Company Group is bound by any agreement or other obligation whatsoever that limits or impairs its ability to sell, transfer, assign, convey or license, or that otherwise affects the Company’s Intellectual Property rights.  The Company has taken commercially reasonable steps to require current or former employees, consultants, and contractors of the Company Group that have created or contributed to Company Intellectual Property to assign to the Company Group all of their right, title, and interest in such Company Intellectual Property, and to the Company’s knowledge, no party to any such agreement(s) is in breach thereof.  The Company Group has made all prudent and reasonable efforts to ensure that all registrations, assignments and filings necessary to preserve the rights of the Company Group in their Intellectual Property have been made with the appropriate authorities in all relevant jurisdictions and are in good standing.  Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, the Company Group owns all right, title, and interest free and clear of any and all liens or other encumbrances, in and to all the Company Intellectual Property.

           (e)  No Infringement of Intellectual Property.  The conduct of the Business does not infringe upon the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person.  The Company Group has not received any written, or to the knowledge of the Company, any oral, communications alleging that any member of the Company Group has violated or, by conducting its business as presently proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity.  To the knowledge of the Company, none of its employees are obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court of administrative agency, that would materially interfere with their duties to the Company Group or that would materially conflict with the Business.

           (f)  No Order.  There are no consents, settlements, judgments, injunctions, decrees awards, stipulations, orders, or inner parties decisions, or government-imposed written or statutory obligations to which the Company is a party or are otherwise bound that do, or to the knowledge of the Company may: (i) restrict the rights of the Company Group to use, transfer, license, or enforce any of the Company Intellectual Property, or (ii) restrict the conduct of the business of the Company Group in order to accommodate a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights; or (iii) grant any third party any right with respect to any Company Intellectual Property.

           (g)  Employee Intellectual Property Matters.  Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Business by the employees of the Company Group, nor the conduct of the Business as presently conducted, will, to the knowledge of the Company, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under any Contract, covenant or instrument under which any employee of the Company is now obligated.

           (c)  No Liabilities.  Except as reflected or reserved against in the Balance Sheet forming part of Financial Statements or as set forth on the Disclosure Schedules, the Company Group has no Liabilities required by GAAP to be disclosed or accrued and are not so disclosed or accrued nor is the Company a party to or bound by any agreement of guarantee, support, indemnification, assumption, or endorsement of, or any other similar commitment with respect to the Liabilities or indebtedness of any Person, except for current liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course since the Balance Sheet Date which liabilities in the aggregate are not material or are otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules.

           (d)  Related Party Transactions.  Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules, no member of the Company Group has made any payment or loan to, or has borrowed any monies from or is otherwise indebted to, any Related Party, any stockholder of the Company Group or any other Person with whom the Company Group is not dealing at arm’s length or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, except as disclosed in the Financial Statements or for usual employment compensation and benefits paid in the Ordinary Course.  Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules and Contracts of employment, no member of the Company Group is a party to any Contract with any Related Party or any other Person with whom the Company Group is not dealing at arm’s length or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing.

16

Section 3.5     Particular Matters Relating to the Business

           (a)  Employees.  

               (i)  The Company Group has complied in all material respects with all Laws relating to the hiring of employees and the employment of labor, including provisions thereof relating to wages, hours, equal opportunity, verification of employment authorization, collective bargaining and the payment of social security and other Taxes, and, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no outstanding or threatened claims, complaints, investigations or orders under any such Laws nor are there any circumstances, to the knowledge of the Company, that are likely to give rise to such a claim.

              (ii)  The Company represents and warrants that:  (i) no managerial employee and no group employees of the Company Group have informed the Company in writing of any plans to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company; and (ii) the Company is not delinquent in payments to any of its employees for any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses or other direct compensation for any services performed by them to date or amounts required to be reimbursed to such employees and upon any termination of the employment of any such employees.  The Company is not a party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement or union contract.

           (b)  Employee Plans.  

               (i)  The Disclosure Schedules lists and describes all Employee Plans.  The Company will furnish to SMGI true, correct and complete copies of all the Employee Plans as amended as of the date hereof, together with all related documentation including, without limitation, funding and investment management agreements, all material employee communications by the plan administrator of any Employee Plan (including, but not limited to, summary plan descriptions and summaries of material  modifications), the most recent annual reports, actuarial reports, financial statements and asset  statements, all material opinions and memoranda (whether externally or internally prepared) and all material correspondence with all Governmental Entities or other relevant persons, as well as the three most recent reports filed on Forms 5500, including all attachments and schedules, prepared in connection with each Employee Plan for which a Form 5500 filing is required under ERISA.  No changes have occurred or are expected to occur which would materially affect the information contained in the actuarial reports, financial statements or asset statements required to be provided to SMGI pursuant to this provision.

              (ii)  All of the Employee Plans are and have been established, registered, qualified, maintained, invested and administered, in all material respects, in accordance with their terms and all applicable Laws, including ERISA, and including all Tax Laws where qualification or other compliance is required for preferential tax treatment.

             (iii)  There has been no amendment to, written interpretation of announcement (whether or not written) by any member of the Company Group relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Employee Plan that would be reasonably expected to increase materially the expense of maintaining such Employee Plans.  The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the purchase of the Purchased Shares) do not and will not constitute an event under any Employee Plan, which either alone or upon the occurrence of the subsequent event will result in any material payment, acceleration, vesting or material increase in benefits to any employee, former employee or director or former director of the Company Group or any spouse, dependent or heir thereof.

17

              (iv)  There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened (A) claims, suits or other proceedings by any employees, former employees or plan participants or the beneficiaries, spouses or representatives of any of them, other than ordinary and usual claims for benefits by participants or beneficiaries, or (B) suits, investigations or other proceedings by any governmental entity, of or against any Employee Plan, the assets held thereunder, the trustee of any such assets, or the Company relating to any of the Employee Plans.

               (v)  No insurance policy or any other agreement affecting any Employee Plan requires or permits a retroactive increase in contributions, premiums or other payments due thereunder.  The level of insurance reserves under each insured Employee Plan is reasonable and sufficient to provide for all incurred but unreported claims.  Each member of the Company Group has made all required contributions under each Pension Plan on a timely basis or, if not yet due, adequate accruals therefore have been provided for in the Financial Statements.

              (vi)  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (alone or in combination with any other event) result in an increase in the amount of compensation and benefits or the acceleration of the vesting or timing of payment of any compensation or benefits payable to or in respect of any current or former employee, officer, director or independent contractor of the Company Group or any increased or accelerated funding obligation with respect to any Employee Plan.  

           (c)  Insurance.  All the insurable properties of the Company, if applicable, are insured for the Company’s benefit in amounts and against risks that are reasonable under policies in effect and issued by insurers of recognized responsibility.

18

           (e)  Taxes.

               (i)  (A) All Tax Returns that are required to be filed (taking into account any extensions of time within which to file) by or with respect to the Company Group have been duly and timely filed, and all such Tax Returns are complete and accurate in all material respects, (B) all Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns referred to in clause (A) have been paid in full, (C) all Taxes that the Company Group is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to any employee, creditor or third party have been paid over to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner, to the extent due and payable, (D) the Company Group has not received notice of any proposal or intention by the Internal Revenue Service or the appropriate Tax authority to audit or review the Tax Returns referred to in clause (A) or the period for assessment of the Taxes in respect of which such Tax Returns were required to be filed has expired, (E) all deficiencies asserted or assessments made as a result of such examinations have been paid in full, (F) no issues that have been raised by the relevant taxing authority in connection with the examination of any of the Tax Returns referred to in clause (A) are currently pending, and (G) no extensions or waivers of statutes of limitation have been given by or requested with respect to any of its Taxes or those of its Subsidiaries, except for the Tax Return for the year ended December 31, 2008 which is on extension as of the date of this Agreement.  The Company will make available to SMGI true and correct copies of the U.S. federal income Tax Returns filed by the Company Group for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The Company will make available to SMGI true and correct copies of the draft Tax Return for the Company Group for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the Tax Return for the Company Group for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed if the Company Group files such Tax Return prior to the Closing.  The Company does not believe that it will incur any penalty or other liability in connection with the extension of the filing deadline for the Tax Return for the year ended December 31, 2008.   The information contained such return and report is true, correct and complete and such returns and reports reflect accurately all liability for Taxes of the Company Group for the periods covered thereby.

              (ii)  The Company Group has made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP, in the Financial Statements, for all Taxes that accrued on or before the end of the most recent period covered by the Financial Statements filed prior to the date hereof.  

             (iii)  No member of the Company Group is a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement, is or has been a member of an affiliated group filing consolidated or combined Tax returns (other than a group over which it is or was the common parent) or otherwise has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than its own Taxes and those of its Subsidiaries).  

              (iv)  No Liens for Taxes exist with respect to any of the assets or properties of the Company Group, except for statutory Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or that are being contested in good faith and reserved for in accordance with GAAP.  No member of the Company Group has been a party to any distribution occurring during the last three years in which the parties to such distribution treated the distribution as one to which Section 355 of the IRC applied.

               (v)  There is no pending or threatened claim, action, suits, audit, proceeding or investigation against any member of the Company Group for the assessment or collection of any Taxes and the Company knows of no valid basis for any such claim, action, suit, audit, proceeding or investigation. There are no requests for rulings, subpoenas or requests for information pending with respect to any taxing authority.

19

           (f)  Privacy.  Each member of the Company Group is, and has for the past five years been, conducting the Business in material compliance with all applicable Laws governing privacy and the collection, use and/or disclosure of personal information.  Each member of the Company Group has implemented commercially reasonable protections against any unauthorized disclosure, access or transfer of personal information and, to the knowledge of the Company, there has been no unauthorized disclosure, access or transfer of personal information collected by each member of the Company Group, except where such unauthorized disclosure would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  

           (g)  No Brokers.  No broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

           (h)  Full Disclosure.  To the Company’s knowledge, neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement to which the Company is a party (i) contains any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of the Company, the affairs, prospects, Liabilities, operations or condition of the Company Group, the Assets or the Business, or (ii) omits any statement of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in respect of the Company, the affairs, prospects, Liabilities, operations or condition of the Company Group, the Assets or the Business contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.  This representation shall not operate to require disclosure (or create liability for non-disclosure) of any fact or agreement, or matter that, pursuant to the terms of any other representation in this Section, is excluded from disclosure, or is permitted to not be disclosed.


ARTICLE 4  
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SMGI

Section 4.1     Representations and Warranties of SMGI.

SMGI represents and warrants as follows to the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date and acknowledges and confirms that the Company is relying on such representations and warranties in connection with the sale by the Company of the Preferred Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that no investigations made by or on behalf of the Company shall have the effect of waiving, diminishing the scope of, or otherwise affecting any such representations and warranties):

           (a)  Incorporation and Corporate Power.  SMGI is a corporation incorporated and existing under the laws of Nevada and has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party.

           (b)  Validity of Agreement.  The execution, delivery and performance by SMGI of this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party:

20

               (i)  have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of SMGI.

              (ii)  do not (or would not with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the happening of any other event or condition) result in a violation or breach of, or conflict with, or allow any other reason to exercise any rights under, any of the terms or provisions of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws; and

             (iii)  will not result in the violation of any Law.

           (c)  Execution and Binding Obligation.  This Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements to which SMGI is a party have been, or will by the Closing Date have been, duly executed and delivered by SMGI and constitute, or will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of SMGI, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms subject only to any limitation under applicable laws relating to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement or other similar laws of general application affecting creditors’ rights, and (ii) the discretion that a court may exercise in the granting of equitable remedies.

           (d)  Experience.  SMGI is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, by virtue of its experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.

           (e)  Investment.  SMGI is acquiring the Preferred Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of any part thereof.  SMGI understands that the Preferred Shares to be acquired have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act of 1933”) or applicable state and other securities laws by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state and other securities laws, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of its representations as expressed herein.

           (f)  Restrictions on Transfer.  SMGI acknowledges and understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite period of time because the Preferred Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state and other securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.  SMGI understands that any transfer agent of the Company will be issued stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Preferred Shares, unless any transfer thereof is subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state and other securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

           (g)  Restrictive Legend.

               (i)  Each certificate representing the Purchased Shares may be endorsed with a legend substantially similar to the following:

21

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE TRANSFER IS MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT.

THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH STOCKHOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS THE POWERS, DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL, OR OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS OF THE SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND THE QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF SUCH PREFERENCES AND/OR RIGHTS.

              (ii)  Each certificate representing the Purchased Shares may also be endorsed with any other legends required by applicable state securities laws.

             (iii)  The Company need not register a transfer of any Purchased Shares, and may also instruct its transfer agent, if any, not to register the transfer of the Purchased Shares, unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied.

           (h)  Acknowledgement of Status of the Company.  SMGI understands that the Company is delinquent in its filings with the SEC and is not currently conducting any operations.

           (i)  Availability of Funds.  SMGI currently has under its control all funds necessary to consummate the purchase of the Preferred Shares, and that such funds, upon satisfaction of the closing conditions in favor of SMGI, are readily available to SMGI to purchase the Preferred Shares.

Section 10.5     Procedure for Third Party Claims.

Upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim, subject to the terms of this Section 10.5.  The Indemnifying Party may also assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim, subject to the terms of this Section.  

       (1)  In order to assume the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Person written notice of its election within 15 days of Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim.

           (a)  the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend the Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim; or

32

           (b)  the Indemnifying Party does not continue in good faith its defense of the Third Party Claim.  

       (3)  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim:

           (a)  the Indemnifying Party will pay for all costs and expenses of the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim except that the Indemnifying Party will not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of the Third Party Claim, incurred by the Indemnified Person after the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim;

           (b)  the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Person for all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim prior to the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defense of the Third Party Claim; and

       (5)  The Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to compromise and settle or to cause a compromise and settlement of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which may not be unreasonably withheld, unless:

           (a)  the terms of the compromise and settlement require only the payment of money for which the Indemnified Person is entitled to full indemnification under this Agreement;

           (b)  the Indemnified Person is not required to admit any wrongdoing, take or refrain from taking any action, acknowledge any rights of the Person making the Third Party Claim or waive any rights that the Indemnified Person may have against the Person making the Third Party Claim; and

33

           (c)  the Indemnified Person receives, as part of the compromise and settlement, a legally binding and enforceable unconditional satisfaction or release from any and all obligations or liabilities it may have with respect to the Third Party Claim.  Such release must be, in form and substance, satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, acting reasonably.

       (6)  The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party agree to keep the other fully informed of the status of any Third Party Claim and any related proceedings.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person will use its reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Indemnifying Party in investigating and defending the Third Party Claim.  The Indemnified Person shall, at the request and expense of the Indemnifying Party, make available to the Indemnifying Party, or its representatives, on a timely basis all documents, records and other materials in the possession of the Indemnified Person, reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party for its use in defending any Third Party Claim which it has elected to assume the investigation and defense of.  The Indemnified Person shall cooperate on a timely basis with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim.

       (7)  The parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations pursuant to this Article 10 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing.

Section 10.6     Alternative Remedies.

           (a)  Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge that the failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement may give rise to irreparable injury to a party inadequately compensable in damages.  Accordingly, notwithstanding anything else contained herein, a party may, in addition to its right to seek indemnification under this Article 10, seek to enforce the performance of this Agreement by injunction or specific performance upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction without proof of actual damage (and without the requirement of posting a bond or other security).

           (b)  Share Amount Adjustment.  In the event any breach or inaccuracy of the representation contained in Section 3.1(g), in lieu of the indemnification provisions, the Company shall issue to SMGI that number of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock necessary for SMGI to beneficially own 95% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the Closing Date.

34

Section 10.7     Exclusive Remedies.  Except in the case of fraud or willful breach, the remedies set forth in Article 10 shall be the exclusive remedies in connection with all breaches under or related to this Agreement.
