This Warrant and Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the ____ day of _________________, 1999, by and between ZEVEX
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), Xxxx Xxxxxx, an
individual resident in the State of Utah, Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, an individual resident
in the State of Nevada, and Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLC, a Utah limited liability
company (each a "Seller" and collectively, the "Sellers"). All of the foregoing
collectively referred to as the "Parties."
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, each Seller owns a warrant or warrants (each a "Warrant" and
collectively, the "Warrants") entitling such Seller to purchase that number
shares of Common Stock of the Purchaser, set forth opposite such Seller's name
in Exhibit A (collectively, the "Warrant Stock");
WHEREAS, Sellers own that number of shams of Common Stock of the Company
set forth opposite such Seller's name in Exhibit A (collectively, the "Shares");
WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell the Warrants to the Purchaser, and for the
Purchaser to introduce third parties to purchase the Shares from the Sellers,
pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein;
WHEREAS, the purchase price for the Warrants will be based on the number of
Shares purchasable thereunder multiplied by $2.50 (that being the difference
between the exercise price of $3.50 under the Warrants and $6.00, the "Warrant
Purchase Price"), and the purchase price for the Shares will be $6 per share
(the "Share Purchase Price"), as more fully described in Exhibit A
(collectively, the "Purchase Price");
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
conditions, representations, and warranties contained in this Agreement, the
Purchaser and each Seller hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF WARRANTS AND SHARES.
1.1 PURCHASE AND SALE OF WARRANTS.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the
first Closing (as defined below), each Seller hereby agrees to sell to Purchaser
and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from each Seller, all right, title
and interest in and to the Warrants in consideration for the Warrant Purchase
Price.
(b) Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in
payment for the Warrants, Purchaser shall deliver to each Seller at the First
Closing, by means of a bank wire transfer, cashier's check, or other immediately
available funds, the amount indicated on Exhibit A set opposite the name of each
Seller. This consideration shall be payment in full for all of the Warrants.
(c) The Purchase and sale of the Warrants shall be held at the offices
of the Purchaser within two business days of the execution hereof, or at such
other place, time, and date as Sellers and Purchaser shall mutually agree (this
event is hereafter referred to as the "First Closing" and the date of the
Closing is hereafter referred to as the "First Closing Date"). At the First
Closing, the
Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser, the certificates representing the Warrants,
and Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers the Warrant Purchase Price.

Purchase Price, with a closing thereon to occur within 14 calendar days of the
execution hereof.
1.3 PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES. For a period of 21 days from the execution
hereof the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to identify
prospective purchasers for the cash purchase of the Shares (the "Share
Purchasers") at the Share Purchase Price. In the event that Share Purchasers are
identified who are prepared to purchase less than all of the Shares, then each
Seller shall have the right to sell its pro rata portion of the Shares to such
Share Purchasers. Each Seller covenants and agrees that it shall sell its Shares
(or pro rata portion thereof) in the event that a Share Purchaser or Share
Purchasers are prepared to purchase such Shares (or portion thereof) at the
Share Purchase Price. The Sellers and the Share Purchasers shall enter into a
definitive purchase agreement for the purchase of the Shares, which agreement
shall be in form and Substance satisfactory to the Purchaser and each Seller.
