VOTING AGREEMENT
1.1 Agreement to Vote Shares. From the date hereof through the earlier

termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms (the
"Pre-Closing Period"), at any meeting of the stockholders of Company called to
consider and vote upon the adoption and approval of the Purchase Agreement (and
at any and all postponements and adjournments thereof), and in connection with
any action to be taken in respect of the adoption and approval of the Purchase
Agreement by written consent of stockholders of Company, Stockholder shall vote
or cause to be voted (including by written consent, if applicable) all of the
Subject Shares, whether issued, heretofore owned or hereinafter acquired, in

other matter necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by

as applicable. During the Pre-Closing Period, at any meeting of the stockholders
of Company called to consider and vote upon any Other Proposal (as hereinafter

Agreement) or (y) other action which is intended or could reasonably be expected
to impede, interfere with, delay or materially and adversely affect the
contemplated economic benefits to Parent of any of the Transactions or any of
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that
neither the Transactions nor any other transaction contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement to be consummated by Company, Parent or Purchaser in connection
therewith shall constitute an Other Proposal. Stockholder shall not enter into
any agreement or understanding with any person or entity the effect of which
would be inconsistent or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in
this Section 1.1.
1.2 Irrevocable Proxy.
------------------

PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 16-10a-722 OF THE UTAH BUSINESS
CORPORATION ACT, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION AND RESUBSTITUTION, TO VOTE OR
ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT SHARES ONLY TO ACCOMPLISH THE
PURPOSE AND AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN SECTION 1.1 HEREOF. THIS PROXY IS GIVEN TO
SECURE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DUTIES OF STOCKHOLDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
STOCKHOLDER AFFIRMS THAT THIS PROXY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE
IRREVOCABLE. STOCKHOLDER SHALL TAKE SUCH FURTHER ACTION OR EXECUTE SUCH OTHER
INSTRUMENTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THE INTENT OF THIS PROXY.

(a) Notice of Intent to Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, the term "Subject Shares" shall not
include up to an aggregate of 70,000 Shares actually transferred by Stockholder
and/or any Other Stockholder to any charitable or religious organization in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.3. Prior to the
transfer of any such Shares, Stockholder shall send Company a notice (with a
copy to Parent) (the "Notice") of his or its intent to so transfer such Shares.
All actions taken by Stockholder in good faith to effect a transfer pursuant to
this Section 1.3 shall be deemed not to violate Section 3.1 of this Agreement.
(b) No Competing Notice Received. If within the forty-eight (48) hours
immediately following Company's receipt of such notice, Company has not received
a notice from any Other Stockholder of such Other Stockholder's intent to
transfer any Shares beneficially owned by such Other Stockholder pursuant to
Section 1.3 of the Other Stockholder Agreement to which Shares of such Other
Stockholder are subject, then Company shall notify Stockholder (with a copy to
Parent) that Stockholder may transfer a number of Shares equal to the lesser of
(i) the number by which 70,000 Shares exceeds the number of Shares transferred
pursuant to this Section 1.3 and Section 1.3 of each Other Stockholder Agreement
prior to the date of Stockholder's notice (such excess being the "Excess
Shares") and (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be transferred in the Notice.
(c) Competing Notice Received. If within such forty-eight-hour
(48-hour) period, Company does receive a notice from any Other Stockholder of
such Other Stockholder's intent to transfer any Shares beneficially owned by
such Other Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Other Stockholder
Agreement to which Shares of such Other Stockholder are subject, then Company
shall notify Stockholder (with a copy to Parent) that Stockholder may transfer a
number of Shares equal to the lesser of (i) the number of the Excess Shares
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares
proposed to be transferred in the Notice and the denominator of which is the sum
of the number of Shares proposed to be transferred in the Notice and in each
notice from each Other Stockholder received by Company during such
forty-eight-hour (48-hour) period and (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be
transferred by Stockholder.
