6


                    (d)    Century hereby represents that (i) it has been furnished by Vista during the course of this transaction with all information regarding Vista which it had requested, (ii) all documents that have been reasonably requested by Century have been made available for Century or Century's counsel's inspection and review, (iii) Century has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of Vista concerning the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Vista Shares to Century as partial consideration for the assignment of the Option Agreement and Option to Victory, (iv) any other additional information which Century has requested has been provided, (v) at no time was Century presented with or solicited by any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement or any other form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (v) Century has had an opportunity to examine the Century Properties and title to the Century Properties and Century is relying on its examination in entering this Agreement, (vi) Century acknowledges that none of Lewis, FWLCO, Vista or Victory has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of or title to the Century Properties, and (vii) and Century acknowledges that it is accepting the condition of and title to the Century Properties "as is" without any representations or warranties. Century hereby agrees and acknowledges that the terms of this Agreement represent the definitive terms of its acquisition of the Vista Shares and shall supersede any terms set forth in any letter, memorandum, document or term sheet and any discussion, agreement or understanding of any and every nature among the parties hereto, including the Letter Agreement.

                    (e)    Century represents that the Vista Shares to be issued and delivered to Century pursuant to this Agreement are being acquired for its own account, for investment for an indefinite period of time, not as nominee or agent for any other person, firm or corporation and not for distribution or resale to others in contravention of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided however, the parties acknowledge that prior to 12 months after closing date, Century may dispose of some or all of the Vista Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

With regard to the restrictions on resales of the Vista Shares, Century is aware: (i) that Vista will issue stop transfer orders to its stock transfer agent in the event of attempts to improperly transfer any such Vista Shares, and (ii) that a restrictive legend will be placed on certificates representing the Vista Shares, which legend will read substantially as follows:

    UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER CANADIAN SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE [insert date that is four months and one day after the Closing Date]. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE ("TSX"); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT "GOOD DELIVERY" IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON TSX.

7


    THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW. NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION, (B) RECEIPT BY THE CORPORATION OF AN ACCEPTABLE LEGAL OPINION STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (C) THE CORPORATION OTHERWISE SATISFYING ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

        The legend stated above shall be promptly removed from any certificate representing the Vista Shares, and Vista shall issue a certificate without such legend to Century, if, unless otherwise required by Canadian, provincial or state securities laws (i) such Vista Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act and are sold in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act; (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, such holder provides Vista with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to Vista, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of such Vista Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act; or (iii) such holder provides Vista with reasonable assurances that such Vista Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. Notwithstanding the removal of the legend stated above in the event the Vista Shares are registered for resale on an effective registration statement, Vista reserves the right to affix a legend on certificates representing such Vista Shares that any selling shareholder must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale. Vista shall bear the cost of the removal of any legend as anticipated by this Section.

        3.3    Relationships With Related Persons.    Neither Donald J. Decker nor Suzanne R. Decker, nor any related person of Century has or has had any interest in any property (whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible) used in or pertaining to FWLCO's businesses.

To Century's Knowledge, no such Proceeding has been threatened.

        3.5    Title to Option Agreement.    Century owns all of the right, title and interest in and to the Option Agreement and has not entered into any agreement, contract, option or other transaction with any third party under which Century has granted to any third party any interest in or the right to acquire any interest in the Option Agreement, the Assets or the Shares.
