Committed Shares) of each of the Committed Shares as his proxy, at any
meeting (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or
postponed meeting) of shareholders of the Company, however called, or in
connection with any written consent of the holders of Company Shares, or in
any other circumstances in which a vote, consent or approval of any of the
shareholders of the Company is sought (including the right to sign his name

the Company that the law of the State of Utah may permit or require) (i) in
favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and the other
transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against

similar laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting creditors' rights
generally, and by general equitable principals. If this Agreement is being

ARTICLE III
TAX-FREE REORGANIZATION TREATMENT
Section 3.1 Representation of Shareholder. Shareholder
has not taken or agreed to take any action, and does not know of any fact,
circumstance, plan or intention that will, or would be reasonably likely
to, prevent the Transaction from qualifying as a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
Section 3.2 Representation of Parent. Neither Parent nor
any of its subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, has taken or agreed to take
any action, or knows of any fact, circumstance, plan or intention that
will, or would be reasonably likely to, prevent the Transaction from
qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Code.
Section 3.3 Reasonable Best Efforts. Each party hereto
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Transaction to qualify
as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
Section 3.4 Continuing Interest. Prior to the Effective
Time, Shareholder will not sell, exchange or otherwise transfer ownership
(including by derivative transactions such as an equity swap which would
have the economic effect of a transfer of ownership) to Parent, the Company
or any person related to either of them within the meaning of Section
1.368-1(e)(3) of the Treasury Regulations, directly or indirectly
(including through partnerships or through third parties in connection with
a plan to so transfer ownership), any of the Parent Common Stock received
by him in the Offer. Following the Effective Time, there is no plan or
intention on the part of Shareholder to sell, exchange or otherwise
transfer ownership (including by derivative transactions such as an equity
swap which would have the economic effect of a transfer of ownership) to
Parent, Merger Sub or any person related to either of them within the
meaning of Section 1.368-1(e)(3) of the Treasury Regulations, directly or
indirectly (including through partnerships or through third parties in
connection with a plan to so transfer ownership), any of the Parent Common
Stock received by him in the Offer. Shareholder understands that, for
purposes of this representation, (i) a corporation that is a partner in a
partnership will be treated as owning or acquiring any stock owned or
acquired, as the case may be, by the partnership and as having furnished
its share of any consideration furnished by the partnership to acquire the
stock, in each case, in accordance with its interest in the partnership and
(ii) any reference to Parent or the Company includes a reference to any
successor or predecessor of such corporation, except that the Company is
not treated as a predecessor of Parent and Parent is not treated as a
successor of the Company.
Section 3.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in the
Merger Agreement, Shareholder will pay his respective expenses, if any,
incurred in connection with or as part of the Transaction, and in no event
will any such expenses be paid or reimbursed by Parent or Merger Sub.
Shareholder will not permit the Company to assume, directly or indirectly,
any expenses or liabilities, whether fixed or contingent, of Shareholder in
connection with the Transaction except as provided in the Merger Agreement.
Section 3.6 Compensation. None of the compensation
received (or to be received) by Shareholder, if any, represents separate
consideration for, or is allocable to, any of the Company Shares to be
surrendered by Shareholder in the Transaction. None of the Parent Common
Stock or cash that has been or will be received by Shareholder in the
Transaction represents separately bargained-for consideration which is
allocable to any employment agreement or similar arrangement.

breach or violation of, or misrepresentation in, this Agreement prior to
termination.
