(b) SECTION 5.18. The last sentence of Section 5.18 shall
be deleted and the following text shall be inserted in its place:
No supplement or amendment to any such Schedules
shall have any effect for the purpose of determining
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections
6.1(a) or 6.2(a); provided, however that the
disclosure in any such supplement or amendment to the
Schedules with respect to any matter occurring after
the date hereof (which did not exist on the date
hereof) shall not form the basis of a claim for
misrepresentation or breach of a representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder; provided,
further, however, that none of the Shareholder,
Purchaser, Seller or the Company shall be deemed to
have failed to satisfy the conditions set forth in
Sections 6.1(a) or 6.2(a) by reason of the disclosure
in any supplement or amendment to the Schedules with
respect to any matter occurring after the date of the
First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated
December 11, 1998 (the "Amendment Date") (which did
not exist on the date hereof or at any time
thereafter through the Amendment Date).
(c) SECTION 6.1. Section 6.1 is amended as follows:
(i) The text of subsection (a) shall be deleted and
replaced with the following text:
(a) Each of the representations and
warranties of Shareholder, Seller and the Company set
forth in Articles 3 and 4 hereof shall have been true
and correct on and as of the date of this Agreement,
as of the Amendment Date and, except with respect to
the "Excluded Representations" (as defined below), as
of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect
as though made on and as of the Closing Date. The
term "Excluded Representations" means the
representations and warranties of the Shareholder,
Seller and Company set forth in Section 4.8
[Undisclosed Liabilities]; Sections 4.9(a)(i),
4.9(a)iii) and 4.9(b)(iv) [Absence of Certain Changes

Section 4.16 [Environmental Matters]; the last
sentence of Section 4.17 [Insurance]; Section 4.19
[Litigation]; and the last sentence of Section 4.24
[Customers]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such
representation or warranty that is already qualified
by "materiality" shall be true in all respects at the
time it is reaffirmed; provided, however, that the
foregoing is inapplicable to the Excluded
Representations as of the Closing Date because the
Excluded Representations will not be reaffirmed as of
the Closing Date.
