4.23 Internal Accounting Controls. SSMI maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. SSMI has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for SSMI and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to SSMI is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which SSMI's Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being prepared. SSMI's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of SSMI's controls and procedures as of end of the filing period prior to the filing date of the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended February 28, 2007 (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). SSMI presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in SSMI's internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls.

4.24 Listing and Maintenance Requirements. SSMI’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.24, SSMI has not, since February 1, 2006, received any notice from the OTC Bulletin Board or the NASD or any trading market on which SSMI’s common stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that SSMI is not in compliance with the quoting, listing or maintenance requirements of the OTC Bulletin Board or such other trading market. SSMI is, and has no reason to believe that it will not, in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such quoting, listing and maintenance requirements.
 
4.25 Application of Takeover Protections. SSMI and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under SSMI's certificate or articles of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to VeruTEK or the VeruTEK Shareholders as a result of the Exchange or the exercise of any rights by VeruTEK or the VeruTEK Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement.
 
11


4.26 No SEC or NASD Inquiries. Neither SSMI nor any of its past or present officers or directors is, or has ever been, the subject of any formal or informal inquiry or investigation by the SEC or NASD.

4.27  Disclosure. The representations and warranties and statements of fact made by SSMI in this Agreement are, as applicable, accurate, correct and complete and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements and information contained herein not false or misleading.

ARTICLE 5
INDEMNIFICATION

5.1 SSMI/Montagliani/Keller Indemnification. For a period of one year after the Closing, SSMI, Montagliani and Keller each agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify VeruTEK, the VeruTEK Shareholders and each of the officers, agents and directors of VeruTEK or the VeruTEK Shareholders against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (each an “Indemnified Party”) to which it or they may become subject arising out of or based on either (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties or covenants or conditions made by SSMI, Montagliani or Keller in this Agreement; or (ii) any and all liabilities arising out of or in connection with any of the assets, business or operations of SSMI prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Montagliani/Keller Indemnification”).

5.2 Indemnification Procedures. If any action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify Montagliani and Keller in writing, and Montagliani and Keller shall each have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of his or its own choosing. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Montagliani or Keller in writing, Montagliani and Keller have failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of Montagliani or Keller and the position of such Indemnified Party. Neither Montagliani nor Keller will be liable to any Indemnified Party under this Article 5 for any settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without Montagliani or Keller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

ARTICLE 6

Without the prior written consent of VeruTEK, the VeruTEK Shareholders, or SSMI, except as required or specifically contemplated hereby, each party shall not undertake or fail to undertake any action if such action or failure would render any of said warranties and representations untrue in any material respect as of the Closing.

From the date hereof through the Closing, each party hereto shall promptly notify the representative of the other parties of any lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations which after the date hereof are threatened or commenced against such party or any of its affiliates or any officer, director, employee, consultant, agent or shareholder thereof, in their capacities as such, which, if decided adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities, business, operations or prospects of such party or any of its subsidiaries.

6.5 Notice of Default. From the date hereof through the Closing, each party hereto shall give to the representative of the other parties prompt written notice of the occurrence or existence of any event, condition or circumstance occurring which would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement by such party or which would render inaccurate in any material respect any of such party's representations or warranties herein.
