         expiration of the term of the Agreement).

         (c) Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 8, and, specifically, the
period of time designated as the Restricted Period and geographical area
specified hereunder, are reasonable in view of the nature of the business in
which the Company is engaged, and the Executive's particular knowledge of the
Company's and its subsidiaries, parents and affiliates' respective businesses,
and the Executive hereby agrees not to challenge in any way, or to otherwise
raise a defense to, the enforceability of any of the restrictions set forth in
this Section 8 during the Restricted Period in any manner whatsoever, including
but not limited to challenging the reasonableness of the restrictions set forth
herein.

         (d) Enforceability of Restrictive Covenant. It is the understanding of
the Executive and the Company that the provisions of this Section 8 be enforced
to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and policies of each
jurisdiction in which enforcement may be sought, and that the unenforceability
(or the modification to conform to such laws or policies) of any provisions of
this Section shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder of the
provisions of this Section 8, or of this Agreement.

         9. Termination. The Company or the Executive may terminate this
Agreement, with or without cause, with or without prior notice. In the event the
Company terminates this Agreement or the Executive resigns from employment, the

the event of, the Executive's termination or resignation from employment for any
reason.

         10. Enforcement.

         (a) Equitable Relief. The Executive agrees that the remedies at law for
any breach or threat of breach by him of any of the provisions of Sections 5, 6,
7, and 8 hereof will be inadequate, and that, in addition to any other remedy to

                                       5
<PAGE>

which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, the Company shall be
entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction or injunctions or temporary
restraining order or orders to prevent breaches of the provisions of Sections 5,
6, 7, and 8 hereof and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof,
in each case without the need to post any security or bond. Nothing herein
contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing, in
addition, any other remedies available to the Company for such breach or
threatened breach. A waiver by the Company of any breach of any provision hereof
shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of a breach of any other provision
of this Agreement or of any subsequent breach by the Executive.

         (b) Enforceability. It is expressly understood and agreed that although
the Company and the Executive consider the restrictions contained in Sections 5,
6, 7 and 8 hereof to be reasonable for the purpose of preserving the goodwill,
proprietary rights and going concern value of the Company, if a final judicial
determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time or territory
or any other restriction contained in such Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 is an
unenforceable restriction on the Executive's activities, the provisions of such
Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to
apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such other extent as such
court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable. Alternatively, if
the court referred to above finds that any restriction contained in Sections 5,
6, 7 or 8 or any remedy provided herein is unenforceable, and such restriction
or remedy cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not
affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained therein or
the availability of any other remedy. The provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8
shall in no respect limit or otherwise affect the Executive's obligations under
other agreements with the Company.

         11. Assignment. The rights and obligations of the parties under this
Agreement shall not be assignable by either the Company or the Executive,
provided that this Agreement is assignable by the Company to any affiliate of
the Company, to any successor in interest to any business of the Company, or to
a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of any business of the
Company.

         12. Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be deemed to have been effectively made or given if in writing and
personally delivered, mailed properly addressed in a sealed envelope, postage
prepaid by certified or registered mail, delivered by a reputable overnight
delivery service or sent by facsimile. Unless otherwise changed by notice,
notice shall be properly addressed to the Executive if addressed to:

                           Attention: Philip Werner, Esq.

         13. Severability. Wherever there is any conflict between any provision
of this Agreement and any statute, law, regulation or judicial precedent, the
latter shall prevail, but in such event the provisions of this Agreement thus
affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring
them within the requirements of the law. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement shall be held by a court of proper jurisdiction to be indefinite,
invalid, void or voidable or otherwise unenforceable, the balance of the
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless such construction would
clearly be contrary to the intentions of the parties or would result in an
unconscionable injustice.

         14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

         15. Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if this Agreement or the Executive's employment is terminated
pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise expires, the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 shall continue in full force and effect.

         16. Disputes. Except as necessary to obtain the relief specified in
Section 10(a). any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or any breach thereof, or otherwise arising out of or relating to the
Executive's employment, compensation and benefits with the Company or the

                                       7
<PAGE>

termination thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in Salt Lake City, Utah in
accordance with the rules established by the American Arbitration Association,
provided, however. that the parties agree that (i) the arbitrator shall be
prohibited from disregarding, adding to or modifying the terms of this
Agreement; and (ii) the arbitrator shall be required to follow established
principles of substantive law and the law governing burdens of proof. Any claim
or controversy not submitted to arbitration in accordance with this Section 16
shall be considered waived and, thereafter, no arbitration panel or tribunal or
court shall have the power to rule or make any award on any such claim or
controversy. The award rendered in any arbitration proceeding held under this
Section 16 shall be final and binding, and judgment upon the award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

         17. Miscellaneous: Choice of Law. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, of the parties hereto relating
to the subject matter hereof, and there are no written or oral terms or
representations made by either party other than those contained herein. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic
laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Utah,

         18. Indemnification. In the event the Executive is made, or threatened
to be made, a party to any legal action or proceeding, whether civil or
criminal, by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was an officer or
director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, the Executive shall be
indemnified by the Company, and the Company shall pay the Executive's related
expenses when and as incurred, all to the fullest extent permitted by law,
provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made hereunder with respect
to payments and expenses incurred in relation to (i) matters as to which the
Executive shall not have acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that
his action was in the best interest of the Company, or (ii) matters as to which
are otherwise prohibited by law.
