or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to
collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Lenders or to which the
Lenders may be entitled at any time or times. The Lenders’ sole duty with respect to the custody,
safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under §9-207 of the
NYUCC of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as the
Lenders deals with similar property for its own account.

13. Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral.
Whenever an Event of Default exists, the Company shall, at the request of the Lenders, notify
account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of
the Lenders in any Account, Chattel Paper, General Intangible, Instrument or other Collateral and
that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Lenders or to any financial institution
designated by the Lenders as the Lenders’ agent therefor, and the Lenders may itself, whenever an
Event of Default exists, without notice to or demand upon the Company, so notify account debtors
and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any
such notification, the Company shall hold as trustee for the Lenders any Proceeds of collection of
Accounts, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles, Instruments and other Collateral received by the
Company without commingling the same with other funds of the Company and shall turn the same over
to the Lenders in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or
assignments. The Lenders, at its option, shall apply the Proceeds of collection of Accounts,
Chattel Paper, General Intangibles, Instruments and other Collateral received by the Lenders to the
Secured Obligations, such Proceeds to be immediately entered after final payment in cash or other
immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them, or hold such Proceeds as collateral
for the Secured Obligations.

14. Power of Attorney.

(a) Appointment and Powers of Lenders. The Company hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Lenders and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of
the Company or in the Lenders’ own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all
documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys
the power and right, on behalf of the Company, without notice to or assent by the Company, to do
the following:

 

11

 

(i) whenever an Event of Default exists, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is
consistent with the NYUCC and as fully and completely as though the Lenders were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do at the Company’s expense, at any time, or
from time to time, all acts and things which the Lenders deems necessary to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lenders’ security interest therein, in order
to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Company might
do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and
transfer applications with the appropriate federal or local agencies or authorities with
respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, and (ii) the
execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any
Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to such Collateral; and

(ii) to the extent that the Company’s authorization given in Section 3 is not
sufficient, to file such Financing Statements with respect hereto, with or without the
Company’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a Financing
Statement, as the Lenders may deem appropriate and to execute in the Company’s name such
Financing Statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require
the Company’s signature.

(b) Ratification by Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby
ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Agreement.
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(c) No Duty on Lenders. The powers conferred on the Lenders hereunder are solely to
protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers. The Lenders shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees
or agents shall be responsible to the Company for any act or failure to act, except for the
Lenders’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15. Remedies. Whenever an Event of Default exists, the Lenders may, without notice to
or demand upon the Company, declare this Agreement to be in default, and the Lenders shall
thereafter have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other
rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the NYUCC or of any other
jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take
possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Lenders may, so far as the Company can give
authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the
same therefrom. The Lenders may in its discretion require the Company to assemble all or any part
of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Company’s
principal office(s) or at such other locations as the Lenders may reasonably designate. Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold
on a recognized market, the Lenders shall give to the Company at least five Business Days prior
written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or
of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. The
Company hereby acknowledges that five Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales
shall be reasonable notice. In addition, the Company waives any and all rights that it may have to
a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Lenders’ rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the Lenders’s right following an Event of Default to take immediate
possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto.

 

12

 

16. Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes
duties on the Lenders to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lenders (a) to incur or
fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary by the Lenders to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other
finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or (if not required by other law) to fail to obtain
governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be
collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or
other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse
claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other
persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media
of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact
other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Company, for expressions of interest in
acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire or fail to hire one or more
professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral
is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide
for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in
wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase
insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lenders against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lenders, to obtain the
services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the
Lenders in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Company acknowledges that
the purpose of this Section 16 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or
omissions by the Lenders would not be commercially unreasonable in the Lenders’ exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lenders shall not be
deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 16.
Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 16 shall be construed to
grant any rights to the Company or to impose any duties on the Lenders that would not have been
granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 16.

17. No Waiver by Lenders, etc. The Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived any of
its rights upon or under the Secured Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in
writing and signed by the Lenders and any other person or entity required by the Note to sign such
waiver. No delay or omission on the part of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a
bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the Lenders with
respect to the Secured Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other
instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly,
alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as the Lenders deems
expedient.

substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral,
to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the
acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof,
all in such manner and at such time or times as the Lenders may deem advisable. The Lenders shall
have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to
the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights
pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 12(b). The Company
further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

19. Marshalling. The Lenders shall not be required to marshal any present or future
collateral security (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other
assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral
security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder
and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and
in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may,
the Company hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral
which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or
under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any
of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or
payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Company hereby
irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

20. Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The Company shall pay to the Lenders on
demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or
paid by the Lenders in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Lenders’ rights under or in respect
of any of the Secured Obligations or any of the Collateral, or otherwise in connection with this
Agreement. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale
of the Secured Obligations or Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied
to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order or preference as the Lenders may determine
or held by it as otherwise provided in the Note, proper allowance and provision being made for any
Secured Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the
Secured Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or

the Company shall remain liable for any deficiency in the payment of the Secured Obligations.

21. Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Company hereunder

interest (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) at the rate of eighteen percent (18%)
per annum.

 

14

Exhibit 4.6

INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
January 15, 2008, by and among (i) Smart Move, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”); and (ii) Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund, Ltd. (“POOF”); and
(iii) Professional Traders Fund, Ltd. (“PTF” and, together with POOF, the
“Investors”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreements (as defined below).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company and the Investors have entered into certain Securities Purchase
Agreements dated as of January 15, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreements”), pursuant to which the
Company has agreed to issue to the Investors, and the Investors have severally agreed to purchase
from the Company, an aggregate of up to $3,000,000 principal amount at an original issue discount
of 15% of the principle amount (the “Notes”) convertible into shares (the “Conversion
Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 (the “Common Stock”) and in
connection therewith purchase from the Company certain warrants (the “Warrants”) to
purchase shares of Common Stock (together with the Notes, and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes, the “Securities”);

WHEREAS, in consideration of Investors’ entering into the Purchase Agreements, the Company has
agreed to provide certain rights to Investors as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound by this agreement, agree as follows:

1. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants
that:

1.1 The Company has full power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of
this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms.

1.2 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the performance
of this Agreement by the Company will not: (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule regulation,
order, decree or judgment applicable to the Company or by which any of the properties of the
Company is or may be bound or affected, or the charter documents of any Company; (ii) result in or
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) any breach of or default under any contract to
which such Company is a party or by which the Company or any of
the affiliates or properties of the Company is or may be bound or affected, or (iii) result in
the creation of any encumbrance or restriction on any of the shares of Common Stock or equity
interests in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Company does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Company will not, require any
consent or approval of any Person which has not already been obtained.

 

1

 

2. Covenants and Agreements.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the Company hereby covenants and agrees, as follows:

2.1 The Company acknowledges the Investors’ interest in verifying that the Company has
appropriate arrangements in effect to ensure the continuing service commitments of its Executives
and other key personnel and to protect its competitive interests and safeguard trade secrets. The
Company represents and warrants to Investors that it has non-competition provisions in existing
employment contracts with the Company’s CEO and CFO and that other senior management staff (the
“Executives”) as listed on Schedule 2.1 attached hereto (the “Non-Competition Arrangements”) are
bound by the non-competition clauses of Option Grant Agreements to which they are parties. The
Company represents and warrants that such Non-Competition Arrangements contain the provisions
restricting direct or indirect competitive activity and interference which are excerpted from the
full agreements and disclosed in Schedule 2.1; copies of the complete employment agreements and
form of Option Agreement in effect with respect to the Non-Competition Arrangements are accessible
via EDGAR as filed or incorporated Exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB ).

2.2 Maintenance of Non-competition and Other Employment Related Assurances. As long
as the Investor holds in aggregate 20% of the Notes it purchased under the Purchase Agreements, or
at least 3 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (in either case, the “Minimum
Holding”), the Company hereby covenants and agrees to continue, maintain, restate or replace
such provisions applicable to Non-Competition Arrangements and to enforce them as necessary to
protect the Company’s interests and safeguard its trade secrets, subject in all cases to the
requirements and limitations of applicable law and the determinations and policies of the Company’s
Board of Directors and Standing Committees in all matters reserved to their discretion and
judgment.

3. Right of First Refusal for Future Securities Offerings.

3.1 Issuance Notice.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, applicable securities laws and the
terms of any agreements to which the Company currently is a party that have been disclosed to the
Investors or are disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, if, following the date hereof and
until January 15, 2010, the Company proposes to issue or sell any securities to a purchaser that is
not an Affiliate of the Company (the “Proposed Third Party Purchaser”), the Company shall
immediately offer such securities to each Eligible Investor by sending written notice (an
“Issuance Notice”) to Eligible Investors, which Issuance Note shall state (a) the identity
of the Proposed Third Party Purchaser, (b) a description of the securities to
be issued or sold, including detailed terms of such securities, (c) the amount of the
securities proposed to be issued to the Proposed Third Party Purchaser (the “Offered New
Securities”); (d) the proposed purchase price for the Offered Securities (the “Issuance
Price”); and (e) the terms and conditions of such proposed sale. For purposes of this
Agreement, an “Affiliate” shall refer to: (i) any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with another Person, (ii) any Person owning or
controlling 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of such other Person, (iii) any
officer, director or partner of such Person, (iv) a trust for the benefit of such Person referred
to in the foregoing clause (ii) of this definition.

 

2

 

(b) The Issuance Notice shall also certify that the Company has received a firm offer from the
Proposed Third Party Purchaser and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Offered New
Securities is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Issuance Notice. The Issuance Notice shall
also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement or
understanding relating to the Offered New Securities. Upon delivery of the Issuance Notice, such
offer shall be irrevocable unless and until the rights of first refusal provided for herein shall
have been waived or shall have expired.

3.2 Option; Exercise. By notification to the Company within fifteen (15) business
days after the Issuance Notice is given, each Eligible Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise
acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice, up to all of the Offered
New Securities; provided, however, that if transaction set forth in the Issuance Notice involves a
registered public offering of securities by the Company, then in such event, in lieu of its right
to purchase all of the Offered New Securities, each Eligible Investor may elect to purchase or
otherwise acquire up to that portion of the Offered New Securities which equals the proportion that
the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or
exercise, as applicable, of the Warrants and any other securities exercisable for or convertible
into Common Stock (the “Derivative Securities”) then held by such Eligible Investor bears
to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full
conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Warrants and other Derivative Securities). The
closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall occur within sixty (60) days after
the date on which such notification is first given by such Eligible Investor. Each Eligible
Investor (or its assignees) shall be entitled to apportion the rights of first refusal hereby
granted to it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

3.3 Right to Sell to Proposed Third Party Purchaser. If less than all of the Offered
New Securities entitled to be purchased or acquired by the Eligible Investors are elected to be
purchased or acquired as provided in Section 3.2, the Company may, during the thirty (30)
day period following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period provided in Section 3.2,
offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such securities to the Proposed Third Party
Purchaser in the Issuance Notice at a price not less than, and upon terms not materially more
favorable to the Proposed Third Party Purchaser than, those specified in the Issuance Notice. If
the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of such securities within such period, or
if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof, the right
of first refusal provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such securities shall not be
offered to a third party unless first reoffered to all Eligible Investors in accordance with this
Section.

 

3

 

4. Miscellaneous.

4.1 Termination. This Agreement will be automatically terminated with no further
effect with respect to an Investor at such time that such Investor no longer holds any Securities
(including Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares).

4.2 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be personally delivered or delivered by overnight courier or mailed by
first-class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by
