ARTICLE VIII
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
8.1 Mandatory Registration. Sage shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 days after the filing of the Super 8-K, file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Registration Statement (a “Registration Statement”) on Form S-1 covering the resale of Registrable Securities (as defined below) (the “Initial Registration Statement”). In the event that Form S-1 is unavailable for such a registration, Sage
8
shall use such other form as is available for such a registration. The Initial Registration Statement shall register for resale at least 20% of the Registrable Securities (the “Required Registration Amount”). Sage shall use its best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable. By 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date the Initial Registration Statement has been deemed effective by the SEC, Sage shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act (“Rule 424”), the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement. “Registrable Securities” shall mean all shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in Denver, Colorado are authorized or required by law to remain closed. Stockholders who hold 1000 or fewer shares of Registrable Securities immediately after the Closing shall have the right to have 100% of their shares included in the Initial Registration Statement. The remaining Required Registration Amount shall be allocated pro-rata among the remaining Stockholders. In no event shall Sage include any securities other than Registrable Securities on the Initial Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Member.
8.2 Demand Registration. At any time after the Closing but only after such time as at least 90% of the Registrable Securities registered on the Initial Registration Statement have been sold, the Member may request up to three additional registrations on Form S-1 and unlimited registrations on Form S-3 (or any successor to such form (each, a “Demand Registration”)) of the outstanding Registrable Securities not already registered by the Initial Registration Statement; provided, that a Demand Registration shall always be filed on Form S-3 (or a successor form) if such form is available for the registration. Upon Sage’s receipt of a Demand Registration, Sage shall give all other Stockholders written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in no event less than 10 days prior to the filing of such registration statement, and shall provide the Stockholders an opportunity to include in such registration statement all Registrable Securities requested by the Stockholders in writing to be included therein, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8.2. If any other Stockholder chooses to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities it holds, such Stockholder shall, within 10 days after the above-described notice from Sage, so notify Sage in writing. Sage shall file a registration statement covering Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 8.2 within 60 days of Sage’s receipt of a Demand Registration on Form S-1 and within 30 days of a Demand Registration on Form S-3. Sage shall use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by SEC within 120 days following Sage’s receipt of the Demand Registration, subject to any limitations imposed upon such registration by Rule 415 under the 1933 Act (“Rule 415”) and the SEC’s guidelines and limitations promulgated thereunder. Sage may include in a Demand Registration any securities that are not Registrable Securities. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective and includes 100% of the Registrable Securities requested by the Stockholders to be included in a Registration Statement.
8.3 Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time on or after the Closing, Sage proposes to file a registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity
9
securities, by Sage for its own account or any of its security holders for their account (or by Sage and by the Stockholders including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 8.2), other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of Sage or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then Sage shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than 10 days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). Sage shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of Sage and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
8.4 Limit on Registrable Securities Included in Registration Statement. If, in the opinion of the managing underwriter named in a Registration Statement or if not an underwritten sale, in the opinion of a reputable investment banking firm engaged or hired by Sage, a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement (the “Limitation Amount”) is necessary to effect an orderly public distribution, then Sage shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited amount of Registrable Securities. In connection with a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 8.2, Sage shall allocate pro rata based on the percent interest held by all of the Stockholders requesting inclusion of Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. In connection with a Registration Statement issued pursuant to Section 8.3 hereto, Sage shall first include all Registrable Securities the holders of which are entitled by right to inclusion in such Registration Statement, and then such addition amount of Registrable Securities up to the Limitation Amount pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities for which registration is requested.
8.5 Related Obligations. Sage will use its best efforts to effect the registration of Registrable Securities and, pursuant thereto, Sage shall have the following obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations set forth in Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10. 8.11 and 8.12 shall apply not only to the Initial Registration Statement, but any subsequent Registration Statement to register Registrable Securities as set forth in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereto:
10
|
|
|
|
(a) |
Sage shall submit to the SEC, within two Business Days after Sage learns that no review of a Registration Statement filed hereunder will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on such Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than 48 hours after the submission of such request. Sage shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all time until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Stockholders may sell all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act, or (ii) the date on which the Stockholders shall have sold all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). Sage shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
Sage shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall be been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 8.5(b)) by reason of Sage filing a report on Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, Sage shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC within two Business Days of when the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for Sage to amend or supplement each Registration Statement. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
Sage shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by the Stockholders of Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that Sage shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify for but for this Section 8.5(c), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. Sage shall promptly notify each Stockholder who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by Sage of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. |
11
|
|
|
|
(d) |
Sage shall notify each Stockholder in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 8.5(m) promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission. Sage shall also promptly notify each Stockholder in writing (i) when a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when each Registration Statement or post-effective amendment has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) Sage’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. |
|
|
|
|
(e) |
Sage shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Stockholder of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose. |
|
|
|
|
(f) |
If, after the execution of this Agreement, a Stockholder believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the request of such Stockholder, Sage shall furnish to such Stockholder, on the date of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as such Stockholder may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from Sage’s independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to such Stockholder, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing Sage for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to such Stockholder. |

|
(g) |
If, after the execution of this Agreement, a Stockholder believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it could be reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the request of such Stockholder, Sage shall make available for inspection by (i) such Stockholder, (ii) its legal counsel, and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by all such Stockholders (collectively, the “Inspectors”) during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice, all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of Sage (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause Sage’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to a Stockholder) or use of any Record or other information which Sage determined in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Stockholder agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to Sage and all Sage, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between Sage and any Stockholder) shall be deemed to limit the Stockholders’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations. |
|
|
|
|
(h) |
Sage shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Stockholder provided to Sage unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. Sage agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Stockholder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Stockholder and allow such Stockholder, at the Stockholder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information. |
13
|
|
|
|
(i) |
Sage shall cooperate with the Stockholders and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such amount as the Stockholders may request and registered in such names as the Stockholders may request. |
|
|
|
|
(j) |
If requested by a Stockholder, Sage shall (i) as soon as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as a Stockholder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offer of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and (ii) as soon as practicable make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. |
|
|
|
|
(k) |
Sage shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of Sage’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of a Registration Statement. |
|
|
|
|
(l) |
Sage shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder. |
|
|
|
|
(m) |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, Sage may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning Sage, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of Sage’s board of directors, in the best interest of Sage and otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that Sage shall promptly (i) notify the Stockholders in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice Sage will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to Stockholders) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Stockholders in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends. A Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Stockholders receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Stockholders receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Article VIII hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, Sage shall be bound by the first sentence of Section 8.5(d) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public is no longer applicable. |
14
8.6 Obligations of the Stockholders.
|
|
|
|
(a) |
At least five Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, Sage shall notify each Stockholder in writing of the information Sage requires from each such Stockholder if such Stockholder elects to have any of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Sage to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Registrable Securities of a particular Stockholder that such Stockholder furnish to Sage such information regarding itself, Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration of Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Sage may reasonably request. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
Each Stockholder agrees to cooperate with Sage as reasonably requested by Sage in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Stockholder has notified Sage in writing of such Stockholder’s election to exclude all of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities from a Registration Statement. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
Each Stockholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Sage of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 8.5(d), such Stockholder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement until such Stockholder’s receipt of notice that the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 8.5(d) has been filed with the SEC or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. |
|
|
|
|
(d) |
Each Stockholder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom, in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. |
8.7 Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Article VIII, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Sage shall be paid by Sage
8.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement:
15
|
|
|
|
(a) |
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sage will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Stockholder, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Stockholder within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if Sage files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; (iii) any violation or alleged violation by Sage of the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement; or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to 8.8(c), Sage shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons promptly, as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 8.8(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Sage by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by Sage to such Indemnified Person; and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Sage, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by the Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 8.8(a) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. |
16
|
|
|
|
(b) |
In connection with a Registration Statement in which a Stockholder is participating, each such Stockholder agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 8.8(a), Sage, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs such Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls Sage within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Sage by such Stockholder expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 8.8(c), such Stockholder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8.8(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 8.9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Stockholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Stockholder shall be liable under this Section 8.8(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds received by such Stockholder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by the Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 8.8(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 8.8 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the |
17
|
|
|
|
|
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel selected by Sage and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Stockholders holding at least a majority in interest of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person that relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 8.8, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. |
|
|
|
|
(d) |
The indemnification required by this Section 8.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. |
18
|
|
|
|
(e) |
The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. |
8.9 Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 8.8 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities that is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
8.10 Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Stockholders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Stockholders to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), Sage agrees to:
|
|
|
|
(a) |
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; |
|
|
|
|
(b) |

|
|
|
|
(c) |
furnish to each Stockholder so long as such Stockholder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by Sage, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the Exchange Act, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Stockholders to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. |
8.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights under this Article VIII shall be automatically assignable by the Stockholders to any transferee of all or any portion of such Stockholder’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Stockholder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to Sage within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) Sage is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; and (iv) at or before the time Sage receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with Sage to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.
19
8.12 Amendment of Registration Rights. Provisions of this Article VIII may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of Sage and the holder of a majority of Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8.12 shall be binding upon each Stockholder and Sage No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Article VIII.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Board of
Directors and Members
Cadence II, LLC
Englewood, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cadence II, LLC as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cadence II, LLC as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CADENCE II, LLC
dba NETWORK CADENCE
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and 2007
(References to June 30, 2009 are unaudited)
(1) Summary of Accounting Policies, and Description of Business
This summary of significant accounting policies of Cadence II, LLC (Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
(a) Organization and Description of Business
The Company was organized as Cadence Incorporated in March 2006 under the laws of the State of Colorado. Effective September 2006, the Company changed its name to Cadence, LLC. Effective November 2007, a new entity, Cadence II, LLC, was organized and merged with Cadence, LLC, with Cadence II, LLC being the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, the historical financial statements include the accounts and operations of Cadence II, LLC and Cadence, LLC. The Company is a privately held professional services company focused on operating support systems (“OSS”) for communication service providers (“CSP”). On August 31, 2009, Sage Interactive, Inc.(“Sage”) consummated a share exchange with the sole member of the Company, pursuant to which Sage acquired all of the membership interest in the Company in exchange for the issuance of shares of its common stock representing 92.0% of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Share Exchange”). After the Share Exchange, its business operations consist of those of the Company.
(b) Unaudited interim financial information
The interim financial statements as of June 30, 2009, and the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal reoccurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial statements for periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 may not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2009. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
(c) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used in measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not expand or require any new fair value measures; however the application of this statement may change current practice. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and as a result, is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB statement No. 115” (“SFAS19”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirement to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159, management does not expect that it will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
6
(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) addresses fair value accounting and the related disclosure for assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard may have on business acquisitions it may complete after September 30, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for the noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 recharacterizes minority interests as noncontrolling interests and requires noncontrolling interests to be classified as a component of shareholders’ equity. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of SFAS No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). This Standard requires enhanced disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. SFAS 161 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“XXX 000-0”). XXX 000-0 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142. FSP 142-3 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FSP 142-3 may have on its financial statements.
The Company periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Although some of these accounting standards may be applicable to the Company, the Company has not identified any other new standards that it believes merit further discussion, and the Company expects that none would have a significant impact on its financial statements.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash-on-hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
(f) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable include uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms and do not bear interest.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected resulting from past due amounts from customers. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, since the total balance of accounts receivable was collected subsequent to these dates.
(g) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as revised by SAB 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred or services are performed, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectability is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
(h) Property and Equipment
Equipment and furniture are carried at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of equipment and furniture are charged to operations.
7
(i) Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. No advertising expense was incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2009 or for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
(j) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company primarily sells its services to customers in the communications industry in the United States on an uncollateralized, open credit basis. For the years ended December 31 2008 and 2007, one customer accounted for 100% and 96% of the revenue, respectively.
Cash is maintained at financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) currently insures accounts at each institution for up to $250,000. At times, cash balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.
(k) Fair Value Determination
Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short-term nature or the current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
(l) Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). The Company’s primary long-lived assets are Goodwill and property and equipment. SFAS 144 requires a company to assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. Additionally, the standard requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date. No impairment charges have been recorded as of June 30, 2009. Management does not believe the Goodwill associated with its recent acquisition is impaired.
(m) Other
The Company currently has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
(2) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using primarily straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

(4) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the net assets acquired in a business combination and is not amortized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 require that the Company allocate its goodwill to its various reporting units, determine the carrying value of those businesses, and estimate the fair value of the reporting units so that a two-step goodwill impairment test can be performed. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Management reviews, on an annual basis, the carrying value of goodwill in order to determine whether impairment has occurred. Impairment is based on several factors including the Company’s projection of future discounted operating cash flows. If an impairment of the carrying value were to be indicated by this review, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended June 30, 2009 is as follows: (see Note 7):

(5) Income Taxes
No provision for income tax has been provided in the financial statements since the Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership, whereby all income or losses flow through to the partner for income tax reporting purposes. The Company is on the cash basis of accounting for income tax purposes.
(5) Commitments and Contingencies
Long-term Employee Incentive Plan
Effective May 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Long-term Employee Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to provide incentives to key employees by providing for bonus awards in connection with a sale of the Company. A sale of the Company is defined as (i) the transfer for value of all or substantially all of the outstanding equity interest in the Company, including pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction, or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in either case in a single transaction or series of related transactions. A Sale of the Company shall not include any merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction in which holders of the Company’s outstanding equity securities immediately prior to such transaction own at least a majority of the equity interest in the surviving equity immediately following such transaction. In the event of a sale of the Company, a Bonus Pool shall be established for the benefit of eligible Participants based on the aggregate transaction consideration received with respect to such Sale of the Company. The Bonus Pool was an amount equal to 25% of the aggregate transaction consideration. The total number of Bonus Units authorized for issuance under this Plan was 5,000,000, and as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, there were 2,150,000 and 2,300,000 outstanding, respectively. No liability has been recorded related to these Bonus Units since payment was contingent solely on the sale of the Company. Effective August 31, 2009, the Plan was terminated pursuant to its terms and all outstanding Bonus Units were forfeited by the Plan’s participants.
Consulting Agreements
The Company has entered into a variety of consulting agreements for services to be provided to the Company in the ordinary course of business. These agreements call for various payments upon performance of services and are generally short-term.
(6) Related Party Transactions
In 2009 and 2008, the Company advanced two of its members $12,000 and $110,000, respectively for the purchase of a six week interest in a timeshare condominium in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This property was transferred to Xxx and Xxx Xxxxx as part of Xxxx XxXxxxxx’x purchase of their interest on May 26, 2009 (See footnote 7 below).
(7) Purchase of Members’ Interest
On May 26, 2009, the member interests of Xxx Xxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx totaling 51% of the company were purchased by Xxxx XxXxxxxx. The aggregate purchase price was $3,609,244 which was comprised of $661,977 in cash, $2,800,000 in a promissory note, $123,000 in property, and $24,267 estimated value in future health insurance benefits for the two members. The note is being repaid in 10 equal quarterly installments of $280,000 beginning August 26, 2009 with a maturity date of November 30, 2011. The note bears interest at Prime plus 4%. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company is required to keep a cash balance of at least $750,000.
This transaction was accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”).
The following table summarizes the carrying values of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition.

The excess of the purchase price over 51% of the tangible net assets (the two members’ equity accounts) was allocated to Goodwill. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2,437,177 in Goodwill as a result of the transaction.
(8) Subsequent Event
On August 31, 2009, Sage Interactive, Inc.(“Sage”) consummated a share exchange with the sole member of the Company, pursuant to which Sage acquired all of the membership interest in the Company in exchange for the issuance of shares of its common stock representing 92.0% of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Share Exchange”).
