         Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a
         "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and accordingly may be deemed
         to have beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock
         subject to the Shareholders Agreement. Each of the Reporting Persons
         expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of the Common Stock
         other than shares expressly identified herein as beneficially owned by
         such Reporting Person. The Shareholders Agreement is filed as an
         exhibit to this Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

                  Except as described above, the Reporting Persons presently
         have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any
         action enumerated in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions

         Agreement, has agreed to certain voting provisions with respect to the
         election of directors of the Issuer. As a result of the Shareholders
         Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a
         "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act
         and, accordingly, may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all of
         the shares of the Common Stock subject to the Shareholders Agreement.

         outstanding shares of Common Stock, are subject to the Shareholders
         Agreement. The percentage of shares of Common Stock owned is based in
         each case upon 24,797,359 shares outstanding, consisting of 19,766,458
         shares outstanding on March 21, 1997, as set forth in the Proxy
         Statement delivered in connection with the Merger, together with the
         5,030,901 shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger.
         Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership
         of shares of the Common Stock other than shares expressly identified

         pursuant to the Merger in the amounts set forth on the respective Cover
         Sheets of the Covey Shareholders.

   (d)   No other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the
         receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the
         above-discussed shares of the Common Stock.

   (e)   Not applicable.

         Covey Shareholder is required to give the Issuer notice of any proposed
         transfer of shares of the Common Stock held by such Covey Shareholder.
         In addition, in the event the Issuer proposes to register any
         securities under the Securities Act of 1933 during the period from May
         30, 1999 to May 30, 2002, the Issuer must provide notice of such
         proposed registration to the Covey Shareholders.

                             SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT


         This Shareholders Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into among
the undersigned persons (each, a "Shareholder" and, collectively, the
"Shareholders") as of May 30, 1997.

         WHEREAS, the shareholders of Covey Leadership Center, Inc., a Utah
corporation ("Covey"), Covey and Franklin Quest Co., a Utah corporation
("Franklin"), have entered into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement")
dated as of March 21, 1997, pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions,
Covey will be merged into and with Franklin; and

         WHEREAS, each of the Shareholders is or will be, as of the
consummation of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), a shareholder
of Franklin; and

         WHEREAS, as a condition to the closing and as an integral part of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and in order to induce each
party to the Merger Agreement to enter into and consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby, each Shareholder desires to execute and deliver this
Agreement in accordance with Sections 2.2(k), 2.3(i) and 4.1(a)(vii) of the
Merger Agreement;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each Shareholder hereby
agrees as follows:

         1. Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that, during the
Control Period (as defined in the Merger Agreement), he or it will vote all
shares of the capital common stock, $0.05 par value per share, of Franklin (the
"Franklin Common") held by him or it in favor of the election of members to
serve on the Board of Directors of Franklin (the "Board") as shall be nominated
by the Nominating Committee of the Board during the Control Period.

         2. Each Shareholder hereby declares that the agreements and covenants
made by him or it herein are made for valuable consideration, are coupled with
an interest and shall be irrevocable.

         3. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Shareholder and his or its
respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and personal
representatives. The obligations of each Shareholder hereunder shall attach and
apply during the Control Period to all shares of Franklin Common held by such
Shareholder at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or
thereafter acquired during the Control Period. Each Shareholder accordingly
covenants and agrees hereby not to assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any of
such shares to any person, trust, partnership, corporation or other entity
affiliated with or created for the benefit of any Shareholder or the family of
any Shareholder without the assignee, pledgee or transferee first agreeing in
writing to be bound by and subject to the terms of this Agreement with respect
to such shares, and agrees that any such transfer not according to the terms of
this Section shall be deemed ineffective and void. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to preclude or shall preclude the bona fide transfer by gift or sale by
any Shareholder of the shares of Franklin Common held by him, publicly or
privately, to an unaffiliated third party or to Franklin, which donee or
purchaser shall not be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

         4. Each person executing this Agreement as a Shareholder hereby
represents and warrants that he has full authority to do so and to bind the
Shareholder legally hereby.

effective date of such amendment or waiver.

         8. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
