From and after the Closing, the Member shall hold, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause his Representatives to hold, in strict confidence from, and not disclose to, any Person (other than any such Representative) all non-public documents and information concerning the Company or the operations of its business, either furnished to it by Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates or Representatives, or to which the Member otherwise had access at any time (including prior to the Closing Date) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the conduct of business prior to the Closing, including all non-public information associated with the Company or the operations of its business (“Confidential Information”), except to the extent that such documents or information can be shown by the Company to have been: (a) previously known by the Person receiving such documents or information; (b) in the public domain (either prior to or after the furnishing of such documents or information hereunder) through no disclosure by the Member; or (c) lawfully acquired by the Member after the Closing Date from another source that is not under an obligation to Buyer or another Person to keep such documents and information confidential. In the event that the Member is requested or required by oral question, interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process to disclose any Confidential Information, such Person shall (i) provide Buyer with prompt notice so that Buyer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.12 and (ii) cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, in any effort Buyer undertakes to obtain a protective order or other remedy.

6.10 Registration Rights.

(a) Buyer shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or if Buyer is then-eligible to use Form S-3, Buyer may elect to file the initial Registration Statement on Form S-3) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (the “Resale Registration Statement”); provided that such initial Resale Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC. Buyer shall provide the Member, Company, and Company counsel a draft of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto at least three (3) Business Days before it is filed, and Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to have such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.

(b) In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement, Buyer shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement, or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 30 days after the necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any position of the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). Buyer shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the total number of Consideration Shares then-issuable under this Agreement (and after taking into account any limitations to such issuance imposed by this Agreement).

(c) The Resale Registration Statement (or any prospectus or prospectus supplement forming a part of such Resale Registration Statement), as initially filed, shall include the Registrable Securities of the Member and any Permitted Transferee thereof for whom ▇▇▇▇▇ has received properly completed Selling Holder Questionnaires.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if Buyer furnishes to the Member a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Buyer stating that in the good faith judgment of Buyer it would be materially detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that Buyer has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render Buyer unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then Buyer shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing or to otherwise suspend the use of such Registration Statement, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly.

(e) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Buyer to take any action pursuant to this Section 6.14 with respect to the Registrable Securities that the Member shall furnish to Buyer such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities.

(f) Buyer shall notify the Member promptly upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the Resale Registration Statement or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part of the Resale Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, as promptly as practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement or amend such prospectus so that such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. After the Resale Registration Statement becomes effective, Buyer shall notify the Member of any request by the SEC that Buyer amend or supplement such Resale Registration Statement or prospectus, and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Resale Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement.

(g) All of the expenses incurred in connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including all SEC fees, blue sky registration and filing fees, listing notices and filing fees, printing fees and expenses, transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and expenses and all fees and expenses of Buyer’s outside counsel and independent accountants of Buyer shall be paid by Buyer. Buyer shall not be responsible for any selling expenses of the Member or any other selling stockholder in connection with the Resale Registration Statement.

(h) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Consideration Shares being issued to be approved for listing (subject to notice of issuance) on the Nasdaq effective as of the Closing.

6.11 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, the Member shall, from time to time, at ▇▇▇▇▇’s request, promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer or other documents, and perform such further acts and obtain such further consents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, as Buyer may reasonably require in order to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

If any action at Law or suit in equity is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Buyer Indemnified Party or Member (such party, the “Indemnified Party”) believes is reasonably likely to result in Damages under this ARTICLE IX, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Member (in the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party) or Buyer (in the case of the Member) (such notified Party, the “Responsible Party”) of such action or suit; provided that any delay or failure to so notify shall not impact the availability of indemnification hereunder. The Responsible Party shall, promptly and in no event later than five (5) days after receipt of the notice, notify such Indemnified Party whether the Responsible Party elects to conduct and control such action or suit, but only after confirming in writing to such Indemnified Party that it accepts responsibility to indemnify such Indemnified Party for all Damages arising from such action or suit. Unless and until the Responsible Party delivers the foregoing notice, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, contest, settle or compromise such action or suit in the exercise of its sole discretion, unless the third-party claimant and such Indemnified Party provide to the Responsible Party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of such action or suit and such settlement, compromise or judgment does not involve any nonmonetary penalty or admission of fault or Liability, in which case the Responsible Party shall promptly cause to be paid to such Indemnified Party in accordance with this ARTICLE IX the amount of any Damages in respect of such action or suit. If the Responsible Party provides the foregoing notice, the Responsible Party shall have the right to conduct and control, at its sole expense and with counsel of its choice (which counsel must be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party), such action or suit, and such Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith; provided that the Responsible Party shall not settle such action or suit without the prior consent of such Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the third-party claimant and the Responsible Party provide to such Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of such action or suit and such settlement, compromise or judgment does not involve any nonmonetary penalty or admission of fault or Liability on the part of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. Such Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such action or suit that is defended by the Responsible Party with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Responsible Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined based on the advice of counsel that a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Responsible Party and such Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable or there are one or more factual or legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different or in addition to those that are available to the Responsible Party, (iii) the action or suit involves the seeking of non-monetary relief which, if granted, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the business of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, (iv) the amount of potential Damages exceeds the amount that is available for indemnification hereunder, after taking into account all other claims made or reasonably anticipated, or (v) the Responsible Party ceases to diligently defend the action or suit, in all of which cases such counsel shall be at the expense of the Responsible Party.

9.5 Limitations.

(a) Any payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of any claim for indemnification properly asserted by any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 9.2(a)(i) (a) shall first reduce the First Post-Closing Consideration Share Value in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof until the earlier of the date on which the First Post-Closing Consideration Shares have been issued pursuant to this Agreement or the First Post-Closing Consideration Share Value has been reduced to $0.00, (b) next shall reduce the Second Post-Closing Consideration Share Value in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof until the earlier of the date on which the Second Post-Closing Consideration Shares have been issued pursuant to this Agreement or the Secon Post-Closing Consideration Share Value has been reduced to $0.00, and (c) thereafter, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek recourse against the Member directly.

(b) Any payment by the Member or Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as applicable, in respect of any indemnification properly asserted by any Indemnified Party shall be limited to the amount of any Damages that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by an Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim (net of any deductible or any other expense incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such recovery).

(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to double recovery for any indemnifiable Damages even though such Damages may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement.

9.6 Materiality. For purposes of this ARTICLE IX, each representation or warranty in this Agreement shall be interpreted without reference or giving effect to any materiality qualification or limitation set forth in such representation and warranty, including the terms “material,” “materiality,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” (which instead shall be read as any adverse effect), and like expressions.

9.7 Adjustments to Total Consideration. All indemnification payments under this ARTICLE IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration for all Tax purposes except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

9.8 No Effect. No investigation by any Party or its Representatives prior to or after the date of this Agreement shall diminish or obviate any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by a Party of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy provided for herein based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

10.7 Governing Law; Venue.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

(b) Each Party to this Agreement (i) hereby agrees that any litigation, Proceeding or other legal action brought in connection with or relating to this Agreement or any matters contemplated hereby or thereby shall be brought exclusively in the applicable state court in the State of Utah, Salt Lake County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Utah; (ii) hereby consents and submits to personal jurisdiction in connection with any such litigation, Proceeding or action in any such court described in clause (i) of this Section 10.7(b) and to service of process upon it in accordance with the rules and statutes governing service of process; (iii) hereby waives to the full extent permitted by Law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such litigation, Proceeding or action in any such court or that any such litigation, Proceeding or action was brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights such Party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party certifies and acknowledges that it: (a) understands and has considered the implications of this waiver; (b) makes this waiver voluntarily; (c) no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; and (d) has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver in this Section 10.8.

10.9 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Parties, irreparable damage will occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and in addition to any other remedies available for such breach or threatened breach, each Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the other Party’s obligations under this Agreement by an action or actions for specific performance, injunction or other equitable relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of (whether anticipatory, continuing or future) any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or actual damages.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including with respect to the availability of specific performance as described in Section 10.9) or in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, the remedies provided in ARTICLE X hereof shall be the exclusive remedies of the Parties from and after the Closing in connection with any breach of any warranty made by the Company or the inaccuracy of any representation made by the Company in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or any breach of any covenants applicable to the Company in this Agreement or in any agreement or instrument contemplated by this Agreement.

10.17 Attorney-Client Privilege Preservation Provisions.
