Registration”). The Holders of 10% or more of the Registerable Securities shall have the right to exercise the registration rights under this Section 2.

2.2    Demand Procedure.

2.2.1    Subject to Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 below, during the Demand Period any Holder or combination of Holders (the “Demanding Shareholder”) owning 10% or more of the Registerable Securities may deliver to the Company a written request (a “Demand Registration Request”) that the Company register any or all such Demanding Shareholder’s Registerable Shares.

2.2.2    Holders, taken together, may only make one Demand Registration Request in each two-month period during the Demand Period (the “Interim Demand Periods”). The Company shall only be required to file one registration statement (as distinguished from supplements or pre-effective or post-effective amendments thereto) in response to each Demand Registration Request.

2.2.3    A Demand Registration Request from Demanding Shareholder shall (i) set forth the number of Registerable Securities intended to be sold pursuant to the Demand Registration Request; (ii) disclose whether all or any portion of a distribution pursuant to such registration will be sought by means of an underwriting; and (iii) identify any managing underwriter or managing underwriters proposed for the underwritten portion, if any, of such registration.

2.2.4    If during any Interim Demand Period, the Company receives a Demand Registration Request from Demanding Shareholder for the registration of Registerable Securities, then the Company shall, subject to the limitations in Sections 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 hereof, (i) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Demand Registration Request with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to all Registerable Securities that the Demanding Shareholder requested to be registered in the Demand Registration Request; (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within seventy-five (75) days of receipt of the Demand Registration Request; and (iii) if such registration can be accomplished by means of a registration statement on Form S-3, keep such registration statement effective until such time as the Demanding Shareholder shall have sold or otherwise disposed of all of their Registerable Securities included in the registration. If such registration cannot be accomplished by means of a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement effective for at least nine (9) months.

2.2.5    The parties anticipate that the registration contemplated under this Section 2 will be accomplished by means of the filing of a Form S-3 or SB-2, and that registration on such form will allow for different means of distribution, including sales by means of an underwriting as well as sales into the open market. If the Demanding Shareholder desires to distribute all or part of the Registerable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company in writing in their initial Demand Registration

 
- 3 -

 

Request as described in Section 2.2.3 above. A determination of whether all or part of the distribution will be by means of an underwriting shall be made by Demanding Shareholder holding a majority of the Registerable Securities to be included in the registration. If all or part of the distribution is to be by means of an underwriting, all subsequent decisions concerning the underwriting which are to be made by the Demanding Shareholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which shall include the selection of the underwriter or underwriters to be engaged and the representative, if any, of the underwriters so engaged, shall be made by the Demanding Shareholders who hold a majority of the Registerable Securities to be included in the underwriting, subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Company.

2.2.6    Upon the receipt by the Company of a Demand Registration Request in accordance with Section 2.2.4 hereof, the Company shall, within ten (10) days following receipt of such Demand Registration Request, give written notice of such request to Holders. The Company shall include in such notice information concerning whether all, part, or none of the distribution is expected to be made by means of an underwriting, and, if more than one means of distribution is contemplated, may require Holders to notify the Company of the means of distribution of their Registerable Securities to be included in the registration. If any Holder who is not a Demanding Shareholder desires to sell any Registerable Securities owned by such Holder, such Holder may elect to have all or any portion of his, her, or its Registerable Securities included in the registration statement by notifying the Company in writing (a “Supplemental Demand Registration Request”) within twenty (20) days of receiving notice of the Demand Registration Request from the Company. The right of any Holder to include all or any portion of its Registerable Securities in an underwriting shall be conditioned upon the Company’s having received a timely written request for such inclusion by way of a Demand Registration Request or Supplemental Demand Registration Request (which right shall be further conditioned to the extent provided in this Agreement). Any Holder proposing to distribute his, her, or its Registerable Securities through an underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.

2.2.7    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if an underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of shares of Registerable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among the Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the respective amounts of Registerable Securities each Holder owns (or in such other proportion as they shall mutually agree). Registerable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting in accordance with this Section 2.2.7 shall be withdrawn from the registration.

2.3    Priority on Request Registration. The Company will not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registerable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Registerable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registerable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering,

 
- 4 -

 

exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the shares of Registerable Securities initially requesting registration, the Company will include in such registration prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registerable Securities the number of shares of Registerable Securities requested to be included that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within such acceptable price range, pro rata among the respective Holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares of Registerable Securities owned by each such Holder.

3.    Piggyback Registrations

3.1    Right to Piggyback. If the Company proposes to undertake an offering of shares of Common Stock for its account or for the account of other stockholders and the registration form to be used for such offering may be used for the registration of Registerable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), each such time the Company will give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registerable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration (each, a “Piggyback Notice”) and, subject to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, the Company will use its best efforts to cause to be included in such registration all Registerable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the date of sending the Piggyback Notice.

3.2    Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in an orderly manner within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such registration (a) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (b) second, the Registerable Securities requested to be included in such registration and any other securities requested to be included in such registration that are held by Persons other than the Holders of Registerable Securities pursuant to registration rights, pro rata among the holders of Registerable Securities and the holders of such other securities requesting such registration on the basis of the number of shares of such securities owned by each such holder.

3.3    Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities other than the Holders of Registerable Securities (the “Other Holders”), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in a orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Other Holders requesting such registration, the Company will include in such registration (a) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the Other Holders requesting such registration, and (b) second, the Registerable Securities requested to be included in such registration hereunder, pro rata among the Holders of Registerable Securities requesting such registration on the basis of the number of shares of such securities owned by each such Holder.

3.4    Selection of Underwriters. In the case of an underwritten Piggyback Registration, the Company will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and managers(s) to administer the offering.

4.    Registration Procedures

4.1    Registration. Whenever the Holders of Registerable Securities have requested that any Registerable Securities be sold pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registerable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible:

4.1.1    Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registerable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.

4.1.2    Amendments and Supplements.

4.1.3    Provisions for Copies. Promptly furnish to each seller of Registerable Securities the number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registerable Securities owned by such seller.

4.1.4    Blue Sky Laws. Use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registerable Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registerable Securities owned by such seller, provided, that the Company will not be required to (a) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4.1.4; (b) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or (c) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

4.1.5    Anti-fraud Rules. Promptly notify each seller of such Registerable Securities 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 such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and in such event, at the request of any such seller, the Company will promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus

 
- 6 -

 

so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registerable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided, that the Company will not take any action which causes the prospectus included in such registration statement to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except as permitted by Section 4.5.

4.1.6    Securities Exchange Listing. Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registerable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class issued by the Company are then listed and use its reasonable best efforts to qualify such Registerable Securities for trading on each system on which securities of the same class issued by the Company are then qualified.

4.1.7    Underwriting Agreement. Enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the shares of Registerable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registerable Securities.

4.1.8    Due Diligence. Make available for inspection by any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent in connection with such registration statement.

4.1.9    Earning Statement. Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earning statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

4.1.10    Deemed Underwriters or Controlling Persons. Permit any Holder of Registerable Securities which Holder, in such Holder’s reasonable judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and to the Company, and furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be included.

- 7 -

 

and drafting of such registration or comparable statement, for due diligence meetings and for “road show” meetings.

4.1.12    Stop Orders. Promptly notify Holders of the Registerable Securities of the threat of issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose, and make every reasonable effort to prevent the entry of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement. In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registerable Securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

4.1.13    Opinions. At each closing of an underwritten offering, request opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which opinions and updates shall be reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters of the Registerable Securities being sold) addressed to the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders or their counsel.

4.1.14    Comfort Letter. Obtain a cold comfort letter and related bring down letters from the Company’s independent public accountants addressed to the selling Holders of Registerable Securities in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the Holders of a majority of the Registerable Securities being sold reasonably request.

4.4    Reference to Holders. If any such registration or comparable statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if, in the Holder’s reasonable judgment, such Holder is or might be deemed to be a controlling person of the Company, such Holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of language in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s

 
- 8 -

 

securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (b) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar Federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder, provided that with respect to this clause (b) such Holder shall furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel to such effect, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

4.5    Company’s Ability to Postpone. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall have the right twice in any twelve month period to postpone the filing of any registration statement under Sections 2 or 3 hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto for a reasonable period of time (all such postponements not exceeding ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve month period) if the Company furnishes the Holders of Registerable Securities a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President of the Company stating that, in its good faith judgment, the Company’s Board of Directors (or the executive committee thereof) has determined that effecting the registration at such time would materially and adversely affect a material financing, acquisition, disposition of assets or stock, merger or other comparable transaction, or would require the Company to make public disclosure of information the public disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

5.    Registration Expenses

5.1    Expense Borne by Company. Except as specifically otherwise provided in Section 5.2 hereof, the Company will be responsible for payment of all expenses incident to any registration hereunder, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, road show expenses, advertising expenses and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants and other Persons retained by the Company in connection with such registration (all such expenses borne by the Company being herein called the “Registration Expenses”).

Each selling security holder will be individually responsible for payment of his, her, or its own legal fees (if the selling security holder retains legal counsel separate from that of the Company), underwriting fees and brokerage discounts, commissions and other sales expenses incident to any registration hereunder. Any other expenses to be borne by the selling security holders which are common to all of the selling security holders shall be divided among such security holders (including the Company and holders of the Company’s securities other than Registerable Securities, to the extent that securities are being registered on behalf of such Persons) pro rata on the basis of the number of shares being registered on behalf of each such security holder, or as such security holders may otherwise agree.

6.    Indemnification Section

 
- 9 -

 

6.1    Indemnification by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registerable Securities and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Holder against all loses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses in connection with defending against any such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, or in connection with any investigation or inquiry, in each case caused by or based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arise out of any violation by the Company of any rules or regulations promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration, except insofar as the same are (i) contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein; (ii) caused by such Holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto; or (iii) caused by such Holder’s failure to discontinue disposition of shares after receiving notice from the Company pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriters at least to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registerable Securities.

6.2    Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder of Registerable Securities is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual to each Holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, each such Holder will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriters at least to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Company.

6.3    Assumption of Defense by Indemnifying Party. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of

 
- 10 -

 

such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

6.4    Binding Effect. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason. Each Holder of Registerable Securities also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

7.    Participation in Underwritten Registrations 

No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

8.    Miscellaneous.

8.1    No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registerable Securities in this Agreement.

8.2    Remedies. Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement will be entitled to enforce such rights specifically to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in his, her, or its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) for specific performance and for other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.3    Term. Except for the provisions of Section 6 or as specifically otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply until such time as all Registerable

 
- 11 -

 

Securities have ceased to be Registerable Securities hereunder but in no event later than ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement.

8.4    Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement may be amended or waived only upon the prior written consent of the Company and of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Registerable Securities.

8.5    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Shareholder or Holders of Registerable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of such securities so long as such securities continue to be restricted securities, as that term is defined in Securities Act Rule 144.

8.6    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

8.7    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

8.8    Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

8.9    Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah.

8.10    Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

8.11    Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the recipient, sent to the recipient by facsimile transmission, sent to the recipient by reputable express courier service (charges

prepaid), or three (3) business days after being mailed to the recipient by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. Such notices, demands, and other communications will be sent to each Holder at the address indicated on the records of the Company and to the Company at the address set forth in the Agreement or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.

8.12    Confidentiality. The Company shall hold in strict confidence and shall not disclose information with respect to sales of Common Stock by any Holder, including the fact of such sales, the amount of such sales and the timing of such sales, except as such information shall become public without violation of this Section 8.12, as may be required by applicable law, rules, or regulations or with the express written consent of such Investor.
