_________
] (1)
shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the " Common Stock "), of the Company (each such share, a " Warrant Share "

(1) Pursuant to that certain Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement and Promissory Note, dated as of January 23, 2009, such number of shares of common stock of the Company (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate dollar amount of funds advanced by the Holder in connection with such advance divided by (ii) the closing price for the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange or other securities exchange or market on which the Company's common stock is then listed or traded, or if the Company's common stock is not then listed on any securities exchange or traded on any market, the fair market value of the Company's common stock as of the close of business on the date of such advance, as determined in good faith by the Company's board of directors. To illustrate the application of the foregoing sentence, if the Holder funds $1,000,000 of an advance under the Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement and Promissory Note and the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of such advance is $3.50 per share, then within ninety (90) days after such advance, such Lender shall be entitled to a Warrant to purchase 142,857 shares of the Company's common stock.


and all such shares, the " Warrant Shares ") at an exercise price equal to $6.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9 , the " Exercise Price "), at any time and on or after the date in which the warrants are issued (the " Initial Exercise Date ") and through and including the date that is ten (10) years from the date hereof (the " Expiration Date "), and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (the " Warrant ") is one of a series of similar warrants issued by the Company to certain parties that have advanced funds to the Company pursuant to that certain Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement and Promissory Note, dated as of January 23, 2009 (collectively, the " Warrants ").

     1. Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms below:

" Bloomberg" means Bloomberg Financial Markets.

     " Closing Bid Price " means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for such security on the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price, as the case may be, then the last bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., Utah time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the "pink sheets" by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price, as the case may be, of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 17 of this Warrant. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

     2. Registration of Warrant . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the " Warrant Register "), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of record of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

     3. Registration of Transfers .

Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a " New Warrant "), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

4.     

Exercise and Duration of Warrants .

 

 

(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and

 

from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and including the Expiration Date. At 4:30 P.M., Utah time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

     (b) A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the " Exercise Notice "), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised, and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an " Exercise Date ." The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

5.     

Delivery of Warrant Shares .

 

 

(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no

 

event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) transmit to the Holder and the Transfer Agent, by email or facsimile, an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice and funds representing the Exercise Price. On or before the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date of the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice (the " Share Delivery Date "), the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not


participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice and funds representing the Exercise Price, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

     (b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

     (c) In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC, as applicable, by the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice and funds representing the Exercise Price, and if after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock in a good faith transaction with an unaffiliated third party (a " Good Faith Purchase ") to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder is actually entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In" ), then the Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, and after the Holder provides the Company with written evidence of such Good Faith Purchase, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price" ), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Exercise Date.

     (d) The Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely


deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

     6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if the Company has an obligation to withhold tax and the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof, including but not limited to income taxes or capital gains of the Holder or exercising holder.

     7. Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
