Without the prior written consent of ZFNB, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, PCS LLC may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a “Transfer”) any Common Stock other than as provided in this Article X. Any purported Transfer of Common Stock in violation of this Article X shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

          10.2 Regulatory Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither ZFNB nor PCS LLC may Transfer any shares of Common Stock otherwise than in compliance with the Securities Act and all other applicable laws.

           10.3           ZFNB Right of First Refusal.

           (a)      Grant. ZFNB is hereby granted a right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”), exercisable in connection with any proposed Transfer of Common Stock by PCS LLC.

          (b)     Notice of Intended Transfer. If PCS LLC desires to accept a bona fide offer from a creditworthy third party (a “Prospective Transferee”) for any or all of such PCS LLC’s Common Stock (the stock subject to such offer to be hereinafter called the “Offered Stock”), PCS LLC shall promptly deliver to ZFNB written notice (the “Disposition Notice”) of the terms and conditions of the offer, including the

26

purchase price, the number of shares of Offered Stock to be transferred and the identity of a Prospective Transferee.

          (c)     Exercise of First Refusal Right. ZFNB (or its assignees) shall, for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have the right to repurchase any or all of the Offered Stock specified in the Disposition Notice upon substantially the same terms and conditions specified therein. Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to PCS LLC prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to all of the Offered Stock specified in the Disposition Notice, then ZFNB (or its assignees) shall effect the repurchase of the Offered Stock, including payment of the purchase price, not more than ten (10) business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time PCS LLC shall deliver to ZFNB the certificates representing the Offered Stock to be repurchased, each certificate to be properly endorsed for Transfer to ZFNB.

           10.4           Transfer by ZFNB. Except to an Affiliate of Zions or as provided in this Section 10.4, ZFNB may not Transfer shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock beneficially owned by it unless (i) ZFNB is acquired in a merger or other business combination (in which case this Agreement shall be expressly assumed by the surviving entity), (ii) PCS LLC, in its sole discretion, consents in writing prior to such Transfer or (iii) ZFNB Transfers all (but not less than all) of its shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock beneficially owned by it to a Person in a bona fide transaction at arm’s-length and simultaneously with such Transfer by ZFNB, and as a condition of ZFNB’s Transfer, the transferee of such shares of Common Stock shall offer to purchase from the Investors their shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 10.4 at the same

27

price being received by ZFNB for its Common Stock and for the same type of consideration if the purchase price is paid solely in cash, or, if the purchase price is made in whole or in part in securities of the acquiring person, PCS LLC shall receive for each share of Common Stock the same consideration received by ZFNB for each of its shares of Common Stock provided that the receipt of any securities would be a non-taxable event to PCS LLC. If the receipt of securities would be taxable to PCS LLC and such securities are publicly traded such that there is a readily ascertainable market price for such securities, then PCS LLC shall be entitled to receive in U.S. dollars a cash purchase price per share of Common Stock equal to the sum of any cash and the value of the securities to be received by ZFNB for each share of Common Stock as calculated in accordance with the agreement entered into with the acquiring person and valued as of the date of the execution of the agreement. As a condition to the closing of any Transfer pursuant to this Section 10.4(iii), an Investment Bank selected by PCS LLC with the approval of ZFNB, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall deliver, at ZFNB’s expense and if requested by PCS LLC, a fairness opinion to the Board that the consideration to be received for such Common Stock in such Transfer is fair to PCS LLC from a financial point of view. PCS LLC shall not be entitled to any consideration pursuant to this Section 10.4(iii) unless such Transfer is consummated.

          10.5           ZFNB Calls.

          (a)     ZFNB shall give to PCS LLC written notice (the “Call Notice”), which shall be irrevocable, and shall repurchase the Common Shares beneficially owned by PCS LLC (the “Buy-Back Securities”) at the Buy-Back Price immediately prior to the consummation of a transaction which would result in a Change in Control of either Zions or ZFNB.

           (e)     In the event that Xxxxxx’x employment with Zions is terminated as a result of death or disability pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Employment Agreement, ZFNB shall deliver a Call Notice to PCS LLC and repurchase Xxxxxx’x Proportionate Interest at the Buy-Back Price within 180 days after the date of termination of Xxxxxx’x employment.

The first Buy-Back Closing shall occur at such location and on such date as shall be agreed in writing by PCS LLC and ZFNB; provided, however, that such first Buy-Back Closing shall occur no later than 60 days after the giving of a conclusive Company Valuation (as defined below). At the first Buy-Back Closing, PCS LLC shall deliver to ZFNB the certificates representing one third (?) of the Buy-Back Securities outstanding as of the date of such first Buy-Back Closing, registered in the name of PCS LLC and duly endorsed in favor of ZFNB, and ZFNB shall make payment of one third (?) of the Buy-Back Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by PCS LLC.

           (b)     The second Buy-Back Closing shall occur on the first anniversary of the first Buy-Back Closing or on such other date as shall be agreed in writing by PCS LLC and ZFNB.

If a Revaluation Notice is delivered by either party, a new Company Valuation (a “Company Revaluation”) shall be performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.8 hereof at the expense of the party delivering the Revaluation Notice. If the Company Revaluation is more than fifteen percent (15%) greater than or less than the previous Company Valuation, the portion of the Buy-Back Price payable at the second Buy-Back Closing shall reflect the Company Revaluation; provided, however, that if the Company Revaluation is not more than fifteen percent (15%) greater than or less than the previous Company Valuation, the portion of the Buy-Back Price payable at the second Buy-Back Closing shall reflect the original Company Valuation performed prior to the first Buy-Back Closing.

At any time before the date which is 30 days prior to the second anniversary of the first Buy-Back Closing, both ZFNB and PCS LLC shall be entitled to request a Company Revaluation by giving a Revaluation Notice to the other party; provided, however, that PCS LLC shall not have any right to request a Company Revaluation in the event that, as of the deadline for delivery of the Revaluation Notice, Xxxxxx’x employment has been terminated by Zions for Just Cause or at the end of the Period of Employment after the delivery of a Non-Renewal Notice by Xxxxxx to Zions pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Employment Agreement. If a Revaluation Notice is delivered by either party, a Company Revaluation shall be performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.8 hereof at the expense of the party delivering the Revaluation Notice. If the Company Revaluation is more than fifteen percent (15%) greater than or less than the previous Company Valuation or Company Revaluation, the portion of the Buy-Back Price payable at the third Buy-Back Closing shall reflect the new Company Revaluation; provided, however, that if the Company Revaluation is not more than fifteen percent (15%) greater than or less than the previous Company Valuation or Company Revaluation, the portion of the Buy-Back Price payable at the third Buy-Back Closing shall reflect the original Company Valuation performed prior to the first Buy-Back Closing or, if the original Company Valuation is superseded by a Company Revaluation pursuant to Section 10.7(b) hereof, such Company Revaluation.

           10.8           Valuation Procedures.

          (a)     Within five days after delivery of a Buy-Back Notice or Revaluation Notice, except in the case of a valuation in connection with the termination of the employment of a Member or Members pursuant to Section 10.5(c) hereof and not otherwise being performed pursuant to PCS LLC’s exercise of its put right pursuant to Section 10.6 hereof, ZFNB and PCS LLC (acting together) shall each hire an Investment Bank to provide a valuation of all of the shares of Common Stock (the “Company Valuation”) as of the date of such Buy-Back Notice or Revaluation Notice. Such Company Valuation shall be conducted independently of, and without reference to, any previously performed Company Valuation. For purposes of this Section 10.8, the Company Valuation shall be an amount equal to (but in no event less than US$1.00) the aggregate fair market value of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock beneficially owned by ZFNB) as of the date of the Buy-Back Notice or Revaluation Notice, as the case may be, based on the estimated aggregate U.S. dollar value of all shares of Common Stock on the assumption that the Common Stock is being traded on the Nasdaq as an independent going concern and not in the context of a sale of the Company. If the greater of the Investment Banks’ two valuations is less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the lesser valuation, the Company Valuation shall be

34

deemed to be the mean of the two valuations. If, within 30 days of the commencement of their engagement (the “Engagement Period”), the two Investment Banks are unable to arrive at valuations which may be averaged in the manner contemplated by the previous sentence, then (i) each Investment Bank shall furnish its own Company Valuation and (ii) ZFNB and PCS LLC shall choose a third Investment Bank (the “Tie Breaker”), which shall be engaged to select as the conclusive Company Valuation either of the Company Valuations proposed by the initial Investment Banks but not a third company valuation. If ZFNB and PCS LLC are unable to agree on the selection of the Tie Breaker within 10 business days after the end of the Engagement Period, then ZFNB shall recommend three Independent Investment Banks to PCS LLC and PCS LLC shall select one of such Investment Banks within five business days of such recommendation to act as the Tie Breaker to provide the conclusive Company Valuation. Within 20 business days after its engagement, the Tie Breaker shall deliver to each of ZFNB and PCS LLC the final, conclusive Company Valuation. In making such Company Valuation, the Tie Breaker shall observe the valuation parameters set forth in the second and third sentences of this Section 10.8(a) and shall consult with, and listen to the views of, PCS LLC and ZFNB and their respective Investment Banks. Except in the case of a Company Revaluation, the fees and expenses of the initial Investment Banks shall be paid by ZFNB or PCS LLC, as the case may be. If it is necessary to retain a Tie Breaker, then ZFNB shall pay 50% and PCS LLC shall pay 50% of the Tie Breaker’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with its providing the final, conclusive Company Valuation.

35

          (b) Each of ZFNB and PCS LLC agrees to provide the Tie-Breaker with such indemnification and hold harmless provisions as the Tie-Breaker reasonably requests.

          (c)     In the case of a valuation in connection with the termination of the employment of a Member or Members pursuant to Section 10.5(c)(i) hereof, the Company Valuation shall be performed by Zions in good faith and in a manner consistent with Zions’ practice with respect to performing valuations of other of its subsidiaries, and such Company Valuation performed by Zions shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and the Members in the absence of manifest error. In the case of a valuation in connection with the termination of the employment of a Member or Members pursuant to Section 10.5(c)(ii) hereof, unless such valuation is also to be performed pursuant to PCS LLC’s exercise of its put right pursuant to Section 10.6 hereof, (i) the Company Valuation shall be performed by a single Investment Bank to be mutually agreed by ZFNB and PCS LLC and (ii) ZFNB shall pay 50% and PCS LLC shall pay 50% of the Investment Bank’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with its providing the Company Valuation.

          (d)     For purposes of this Section 10.8, the “Buy-Back Price” shall consist of (A) the sum of PCS LLC’s Proportionate Share of the Company Valuation or Company Revaluation with respect to the Common Stock (without discount for a minority interest), minus (B) the amount of any dividends declared and paid to PCS LLC from the date of the Buy-Back Notice or Revaluation Notice up to and including the date of the applicable Buy-Back Closing.

          10.9           Legends. All certificates for shares of the Common Stock issued to PCS LLC pursuant to this Agreement shall bear a legend substantially in the form set forth below:

          (a)     Following the Closing Date, ZFNB will indemnify the Company and its directors, officers and employees against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any claim or Loss asserted against or incurred or suffered by them and reasonably attributable to the creation or management prior to the Closing Date of any trusts or other fiduciary relationships included among the Contributed Assets or for any cause of action which arises, directly or indirectly, out of events or actions which occur prior to the Closing Date.

38

          (b)     Except for any cause of action which arises, directly or indirectly, out of events or actions which occur prior to the Closing Date, ZFNB will not be liable under Section 12.1(a) with respect to any Loss to the extent arising from the Company’s failure to take, or cause to be taken, such action as the Company in the prudent management of its business would customarily pursue to protect its interests and the interests of ZFNB and its Affiliates or otherwise to mitigate the amount of the Loss. Without limiting the rights of ZFNB and its Affiliates and the obligations of the Company set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pursue, to the extent the Company in the prudent management of its business would customarily pursue: (i) those remedies available as trustee, independent fiduciary, investment advisor or similar fiduciary under the governing instruments for such relationship for the payment of any claims, damages, charges, costs, expenses, losses and liabilities; (ii) the granting of allowances by a court in any proceeding; (iii) reimbursement of any recovery by any beneficiaries to any trust in any proceeding; and/or (iv) any other reasonable source for payment of any items for which the Company is entitled to indemnification under Section 12.1(a), including, but not limited to, the insurance policies of ZFNB and the Company.

          12.2           Defense of Claims.

          (a) The Company will give notice (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances pertaining thereto and the basis for its right to

39

indemnification) to ZFNB as soon as practicable after the Company becomes aware of any fact, condition or event that may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article XII. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if any third party notifies the Company of a claim that may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Article XII, including by way of service of a complaint or summons (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Company will give notice to ZFNB as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 5 days after the service of a complaint or summons. The failure of the Company to give timely notice will not affect rights to indemnification under this Article XII, except to the extent that ZFNB is actually prejudiced by the failure. (b) If ZFNB notifies the Company that ZFNB agrees that it is obligated to indemnify the Company under this Article XII in connection with a Third-Party Claim, then the ZFNB will be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation of the Third-Party Claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party’s expense; provided that, if the Company reasonably determines in good faith that its interest with respect to a Third-Party Claim cannot appropriately be represented by ZFNB, the Company will have the right to assume control of the defense of such claim. Regardless of which party is controlling the defense of any Third-Party Claim, (1) both ZFNB and the Company will act in good faith; (2) no settlement of such claim may be agreed to without the written consent of both ZFNB and the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; and (iii) the fees and expenses of one firm of counsel retained to defend such claim (in respect of all indemnified parties) will be payable by ZFNB. The controlling

40

party will deliver to the other party, upon request, copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, and timely notices of, and the right to participate in (as an observer), any hearing or other court proceeding relating to such claim. The Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with ZFNB and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of any Third-Party Claim and any related appeal; provided that the Company may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of any Third-Party Claim and any related appeal. (c) Without limiting the rights and obligations provided elsewhere in this Article XII, and subject to the procedures for indemnification claims set forth in this Section 12.2, each of ZFNB and the Company will act in good faith, will use the same discretion in the use of personnel and the incurring of expenses it would use if it were engaged and acting entirely at its own cost and for its own account, and will consult regularly with the other party regarding the conduct of any proceedings or the taking of any action for which indemnification may be sought.
