MISCELLANEOUS
1. No Further Amendment. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Stock Purchase Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions, and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment is limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to be an amendment to any other term or condition of the Stock Purchase Agreement or any of the documents referred to therein.
2. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall form a part of the Stock Purchase Agreement for all purposes, and each Party thereto and hereto shall be bound hereby. From and after the execution of this Amendment by the Parties, any reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be deemed a reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement as amended hereby.
3. Governing Law. This Amendment, including the formation, breach, termination, validity, interpretation, and enforcement thereof, and all transactions contemplated by this Amendment, will in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Utah, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws, to the extent such principles or rules would permit or require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
4. Submission to Jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AMENDMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF UTAH, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.

Upon such determination that any term or provision is invalid or unenforceable, the Company, the Sellers, and Purchaser will negotiate in good faith to modify this Amendment so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Amendment be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. If any provision of this Amendment is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be so broad as to be unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
