Annex A - 2

G. The consideration payable by the Surviving Corporation in connection with the Acquisition is subject to increase or decrease based upon the financial condition of Purchaser and the Company prior to the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

H. The Company, SCHS, PM, CLSC and the Shareholders, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Acquisition.

I.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Utah Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Purchaser Common Stock set forth in Section 1.6(a), without interest thereon, and subject to the provisions of Section , upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

Any cash and Surviving Corporation Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(a), cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(d): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(d). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Surviving Corporation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates surrendered by such holder) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(a) (which shall be in uncertificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested or is otherwise required by applicable law or regulation) payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(d), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock into which such shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall have been so converted and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.8(d).

No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date hereof with respect to Purchaser Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and no payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f) will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Certificates with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock represented thereby until the holders of record of such Certificates shall surrender such Certificates. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Certificates, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest (i) promptly after such surrender, the number of whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued in exchange therefor along with payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Surviving Corporation or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Surviving Corporation or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

Annex A - 7

(f) Required Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Purchaser Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, the amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Surviving Corporation on a daily basis; provided that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the Purchaser stockholders pursuant to this ARTICLE I. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable to the Purchaser stockholders pursuant to this ARTICLE I shall promptly be paid to the Surviving Corporation.

Any such portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Purchaser Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Purchaser Common Stock

All shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Purchaser Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and Section 1.8(d)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Purchaser Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Purchaser Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
