"July 1998 Purchase Agreement" means the Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of July 17, 1998 by and among the Company
(as successor to Vista in accordance with Section 8.16 thereof) and
certain Purchasers.
"Subsequent Purchase Agreements" means the HCCP Purchase
Agreement, the July 1998 Purchase Agreement and the December 1998
Purchase Agreement.
2. The definition of "Common Shares" as set forth in Section 2 of
the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and superseded by the following:
"Common Shares" shall mean shares of common stock of the
Company (i) purchased by a Purchaser pursuant to the Bessemer Purchase
Agreement, (ii) purchased by Lighthouse pursuant to the Lighthouse

purchased by a Purchaser at any time pursuant to a Subsequent Purchase
Agreement have been converted or are convertible, (v) purchased by a
Purchaser pursuant to the HCCP Purchase Agreement, (vi) acquired by

similar rights or upon conversion or exercise of securities acquired
