2.1          Amendment to Subsection 10.4(a)

“(a)
On the earlier to occur of: (i) July 5, 2007 and (ii) within three (3) business days following the Company’s closing of a financing (but in no event sooner than May 15, 2007) sufficient to pay in full the First Promissory Note, Surge shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form SB-2 (“SB-2 Registration Statement”) registering the Surge Securities for resale by Shareholders. Surge covenants to keep the SB-2 Registration Statement effective for up to two years following the date the SB-2 Registration Statement becomes effective or, if earlier, until Shareholders have completed the distribution related thereto. Surge shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the SB-2 Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such SB-2 Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the SB-2 Registration Statement. Surge shall furnish to Shareholders such number of copies of a prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Surge Securities owned by them. Surge shall notify each Shareholder by written notice to the address set forth on the books of Purchaser (unless Purchaser is notified in writing of a different address for a Shareholder) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the SB-2 Registration Statement as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. Such SB-2 Registration Statement shall only include the securities to be issued by Surge to the Shareholders;”
