I'll use the Socratic method and ask questions so you'll dig up some 
answers and learn along the way.

 > Is uhf3.exe already in intelhex format ?

Look at it with a text editor and compare it with what you expect Intel 
Hex to look like.

 >  If not how do I deal with that ?

For which purpose do you need it in Intel Hex, and for which purposes do 
you need it in Analog Devices loader format?

 > Do I need to worry about it ?

See above.

> Do I need to be concerned about overwriting the monitor ?

I would suggest that you take great care to not over-write the monitor. 
  Details about this are at www.kk7p.com in the section about Flash Util.

Follow Bob's directions for the DSP-10, substituting the file for the 
DSPx instead of the file for the EZ Kit Lite, and you'll better 
understand it.

Hint: the program runs from RAM, not Flash.  The Flash just provides a 
quick way to load a file so you don't have to use the serial port, but 
you need the serial port conenction anyway to run the DSP-10 application.
