4.2.
Certificates.
At
and after the Effective Time, all of the outstanding certificates that

Dissenting Shares), options, warrants or other securities of the Company shall
be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership of and to represent the shares
of the respective Delaware common stock, options, warrants or other securities

options, warrants or other securities of the Company represented by such
certificates have been converted as herein provided and shall be so registered

agent. The registered owner of any such outstanding certificate shall,
until such certificate shall have been surrendered for transfer or otherwise
accounted for to the Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent, have and
be

options, warrants or other securities of SMI-Delaware, as the case may be,
evidenced by such outstanding certificate, as above provided.

Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to shares of Delaware common stock

Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by the
relevant provisions of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the NGCL with respect

or entity who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Shareholder shall have
failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the
right
to dissent with respect to any shares that would be Dissenting Shares but for
that failure to perfect or withdrawal or loss of the right to dissent, such

Section 4.1 hereof.
