             SECTION 2. RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES

2.1      RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF EES.

         (a)      SUPPLY OBLIGATIONS. EES shall manufacture for Vista's Clinics
the Products in accordance with its product specifications; PROVIDED, THAT, such
Products shall be, and shall be labeled, "non-sterile". EES shall deliver the
non-sterile Products to the location(s) mutually agreed upon by the parties.
EES's designated local account representative, after consulting with Vista and
after reviewing the schedule of planned Clinics and the number of registered
participants, will order non-sterile Products in an amount, as determined in the
sole discretion of such representative, necessary to support upcoming Clinics.
The non-sterile Products will be ordered through EES's Training Institute's
Remote Education Support Organization. The quantity of non-sterile Products to
be delivered shall be determined at the sole discretion of EES after reviewing
the submitted order form, the schedule of planned Clinics and the number of
registered participants. EES will pack the non-sterile Products in a manner to
enable such Products to withstand the effects of shipping and handling. Costs
incurred to manufacture the non-sterile Products and to ship such Products
utilizing carriers chosen by EES will be borne by EES.

         (b)      PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. During the term of this Agreement and
unless otherwise provided for in Section 10 hereof, EES shall pay to Vista ***
which fee shall be payable as follows:

                  (i)      During the initial 12-month term of this Agreement,
*** shall be paid on the Effective Date and *** shall be paid on or, at the sole
discretion of EES, prior to January 15, 2002;

                  (ii)     During each subsequent 12-month term, if any, of this
Agreement, *** shall be paid within 10 days after such additional term commences

Representatives will not act as Vista's agents.

         (d)      FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. EES will use reasonable efforts to
investigate the possible access by financially qualified Clinic and Program
participants to financing programs, sponsored by Johnson & Johnson Finance
Corporation, that support deferral of start-up acquisition costs necessary to
undertake institutionalization of an LBS program by such participants.

         (e)      INSPECTION RIGHTS. In the event EES provides reasonable notice
to Vista of its desire to inspect and audit the Clinics and Programs to assure
compliance by Vista of the provisions of this Agreement and applicable laws and
regulations, Vista shall cooperate in good faith with EES to provide such access
to EES and its representatives. EES acknowledges that Vista does not control the
facilities (e.g., hospitals) or access to the facilities where the Clinics and
Programs are held. Vista shall, within 30 days, remedy or cause the remedy of
any deficiencies which may be noted in any such audit or, if any such
deficiencies can not reasonably be remedied within such 30-day period, present
to EES a written plan to remedy such deficiencies as soon as possible. The
failure by Vista to remedy or cause the remedy of any such deficiencies within
such 30-day period or to present such a plan within such 30-day period and then
use its reasonable and diligent efforts to remedy or cause the remedy of such
deficiencies in accordance with such written plan, as the case may be, shall be
deemed a breach of this Agreement. Vista acknowledges that the provisions herein
granting EES certain audit rights shall in no way relieve Vista of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, nor shall such provisions require EES to
conduct any such audits.

2.2      RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF VISTA.

         (a)      EXCLUSIVITY. During the term of this Agreement and solely with
respect to the specific functions and applications addressed by the Products,
Vista will exclusively use in the Clinics the non-sterile Products and Vista
will exclusively promote in the Programs the sterile Products; provided, that
Vista shall not be required to exclusively use or promote any additional product
that is added by EES to Exhibit A and becomes a "Product" after the Effective
Date if, and only for as long as, such new Product (i) directly competes with an
existing product manufactured by Vista that is (at the time EES adds such
additional product to Exhibit A) used in the Clinics or Programs or (ii) is
substantially similar to a third party's product which Vista is (at the time EES
adds such additional product to Exhibit A) contractually obligated to a third
party to use in the Clinics or promote in the Programs. Subject to Section 3.1,
Vista shall not use, and shall cause its Affiliates, Medical Directors (as
defined hereinafter in Section 5.1(d)), and Clinic and Program participants to
not use, in the Clinics and Programs products manufactured and/or distributed by
third-parties that compete with the Products or are substantially similar to the
Products. ***
         (b)      RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD CLINICS AND PROGRAMS. During each
12-month period

during the term of this Agreement beginning on the Effective Date and each
anniversary thereof, Vista agrees to conduct, without any payments (other than
payments specified in Section 2.1(b)) from EES, for the benefit of qualified
physicians and their operating room supporting personnel (collectively, the
"O.R. TEAM"), *** . Vista shall provide EES's designated mechanical device
marketing management and designated divisional sales management with notice of
such Clinics and Programs. Each such notice shall be delivered within 10 days
after a Clinic or Program is scheduled, but in no event less than 10 days before
the Clinic or Program is to occur, and shall include a good faith estimate of
the number of anticipated Clinic and/or Program participants. The Clinics and
Programs will only be operated under the direction of the physicians (the
"MEDICAL DIRECTORS") named on EXHIBIT B (as such may be amended pursuant to
Section 11.6) and each such Medical Director identified on Exhibit B will be a
party to a clinical consulting agreement with Vista at all times that such
Medical Director directs the operations of a Clinic or Program. Each Clinic will
meet the guidelines established in the "Framework for Post-Residency Surgical
Education and Training".

If the actual number of Clinics conducted in any 12-month period shall be *** ,
the difference shall be referred to herein as the "CLINIC SHORTFALL". If the
actual number of Programs conducted in any 12-month period shall be *** , the
difference shall be referred to herein as the "PROGRAM SHORTFALL". In the event
EES exercises its right to extend any term of this Agreement, any Clinics and
Programs conducted by Vista during such subsequent term will not be counted in
determining whether Vista has satisfied its obligation to conduct *** Clinics
and *** Programs in a given 12-month period until the Clinic Shortfall or
Program Shortfall, as the case may be, has been satisfied. In the event the
Agreement is terminated by EES or expires, Vista's exclusivity obligation under
Section 2.2(a) shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement with
respect to Clinics and Programs conducted in subsequent periods but only to the
extent the number of subsequent Clinics satisfies the Clinic Shortfall and the
number of subsequent Programs satisfies the Program Shortfall.

         (c)      RESPONSIBILITY TO PRODUCE TRAINING AND PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE.
Vista will provide, at its sole cost and expense, all the necessary and
appropriate (i) training materials (both CME and non-CME) for the Clinics and
Programs, and (ii) promotional materials for LBS, the Clinics and Programs for
use by the Representatives. Vista will deliver to EES a sample of the training
and promotional materials prepared by Vista and such materials will be subject
to EES's copy review procedures and comments prior to their distribution.

         (d)      RESPONSIBILITY TO TRAIN EES'S REPRESENTATIVES. Vista will
admit, at EES's sole cost and expense, the Representatives into the Clinics and
Programs. In addition, Vista will provide semi-annually, at EES's request, at
least 4 hours of additional education and training on the features and benefits
of LBS, the Clinic and the Program to the Representatives.

         (e)      RESPONSIBILITY TO COMPENSATE EES'S REPRESENTATIVES. *** for
each O.R. Team that participates in a Clinic as a direct result of the
promotional efforts undertaken by such Representative.

         (f)      RESPONSIBILITY TO ADHERE TO LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Vista will
not, and will use its reasonable and diligent efforts to ensure that Medical
Directors and Clinic and Program participants do not, submit for Medicare
reimbursement the cost of any Product provided by EES hereunder. Vista further
agrees to demonstrate each Product only in accordance with such Product's
labeled indications and instructions for use.

         (g)      RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE: Vista shall obtain, pay
for and maintain product liability insurance covering bodily injury and property
damage arising out of the use of the Products with limits of not less than ***
per occurrence and *** as an aggregate per year.

2.3      MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITIES. During the term of this Agreement, the parties
in good faith will collaborate with each other for the following purposes: (a)
to devise marketing and market development strategies which focus on, without
limitation, the promotion of LBS, Vista's LBS training and the Products at
conventions, through professional organizations and through advertising
campaigns; (b) to assess cooperative technology opportunities to incorporate the
Visi-Tools IP and Visi-Tools Technology into EES's instruments and systems; (c)
to identify additional surgical procedure opportunities amenable to the type and
level of service being provided in the Clinics and Programs and, if appropriate,
expand the scope of this exclusive relationship to incorporate such additional
identified and approved procedures.

                         SECTION 3. FAILURES TO SUPPLY

3.1      FAILURE TO SUPPLY. In the event that EES shall fail to supply any
non-sterile Product in such quantities as Vista shall reasonably require for the
Clinics, then Vista shall be permitted to obtain a substitute product from
another supplier but only for so long as EES shall fail to supply such Product.

                     SECTION 4. RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION

During the term of this Agreement and in consideration for the fees payable by
EES hereunder, Vista hereby grants EES the right of first negotiation to acquire
from Vista title to or the right to use, offer for sale, sell, market and/or
distribute the Visi-Tools Technology and the Visi-Tools IP. EES shall have 30
days from the time it receives from Vista material written information about any
Visi-Tools Technology or Visi-Tools IP to notify Vista in writing if it is
interested in discussing terms for EES to purchase, license or otherwise have
access to such. If EES so notifies Vista of its interest in the Visi-Tools
Technology or Visi-Tools IP, then the parties shall for a period of 45 days
negotiate, in good faith, the terms of such transaction. In no event shall

<Page>

Vista enter into an agreement with a third party to sell, assign, license,
transfer or otherwise make available the Visi-Tools Technology or Visi-Tools IP
to such third party upon material terms and conditions which are materially more
favorable to such third party than such material terms and conditions which EES
offered to Vista in connection therewith. Vista hereby covenants that only for
so long as this right of first negotiation survives neither Vista (nor any of
its Affiliates) shall enter into any of the agreements, contracts,
understandings or arrangements described in Section 5.1(e) without the consent
of EES; provided, that such consent shall not be required with respect to any
Visi-Tools Technology or Visi-Tools IP that, in accordance with this section,
was first presented to EES and thereafter either EES failed to notify Vista of
its interest therein or access to such was negotiated between the parties. This
right of first negotiation shall survive any termination of this Agreement,
whether occurring during the initial term or any extended term, but such right
shall survive in the case of the initial term, until June 22, 2002 and in the
case of each extended term, until the 6-month anniversary of the commencement of
such extended term.

                           SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1      INDEMNIFICATION BY VISTA. Vista shall indemnify and hold EES (and its
Affiliates) harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, demands, damages,

of the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements made by Vista
herein, (b) claims of trademark or copyright infringement made with respect to
use of Vista's training and promotional materials and (c) personal injury claims
by third parties arising from the use or application of any Product provided to
Vista pursuant to this Agreement (other than personal injury claims by O.R. team
members arising from the use of any non-sterile Product during the Clinics). In
the case of Damages arising directly from or by reason of Section 7.1(a) or
7.1(b), Vista's indemnification obligations for such Damages shall be limited to
the fees paid by EES to Vista hereunder.

         SECTION 8. TRADEMARKS; CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND PUBLICITY

8.1      TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS. Nothing herein shall be deemed to give one
party any right to trademarks or copyrights of the other party or to their use
except that each party shall have the right to use the other party's trademarks
and copyrights promoting the Clinics and Programs during the term of this
Agreement if it chooses to do so, but such use shall require the consent of such
other party.

8.2      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. All written information exchanged between the
parties while this Agreement is in effect that is either clearly designated by
the disclosing party as "confidential" or may be reasonably understood from the
notices or legends affixed to it that it is proprietary to the disclosing party,
shall be treated as confidential information. Each party agrees that such
confidential information received from the other party under this Agreement
shall be maintained in confidence for three years after such exchange, and the
receiving party agrees not to use (other than in the performance of its
obligations hereunder) or disclose such information to any third party without
the prior written approval of the other party, unless such information (a) has
become public knowledge through no fault of the party receiving such
information, or (b) comes to such receiving party from a third party under no
obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information, or (c) was in
the possession of such receiving party prior to the date of disclosure or is
independently developed by or on behalf of such party without reliance on the
confidential information received hereunder, or (d) is requested to be disclosed
in compliance with applicable laws or regulations or is otherwise required to be
disclosed in compliance with an order by a court or other regulatory body having
competent jurisdiction; provided however that a party may disclose the existence
of this Agreement and the material terms of this Agreement to prospective
financing sources and acquirors who are under an obligation of confidentiality
to such party; and provided, further, that the disclosing party shall comply
with Section 8.3.

8.3      PUBLICITY. The parties hereto covenant and agree that each will not
make any public announcement, press release or statement of the existence of, or
reveal publicly the terms, conditions and status of, the transactions
contemplated herein, without the prior written consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld) of the other party as to the content of, time and manner
of the release of such announcement, release or statement. In the event that
Vista determines that it is required to file this Agreement as an exhibit to a
periodic filing required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, it shall notify Vista of such proposed filing and EES shall have the
right to require EES to redact certain sensitive terms of this Agreement prior

                                SECTION 9. TERM

The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of *** from the
Effective Date unless earlier terminated as expressly provided under the terms
of this Agreement. EES, at its sole election, may extend the term of this
Agreement for up to four additional *** periods by giving Vista, at least
60 days prior to the end of the then current term, written notice of each such
election.

                            SECTION 10. TERMINATION

10.1     TERMINATION FOR BREACH. This Agreement may be terminated, prior to the
expiration of its initial or any additional term, by either party by giving
written notice of its intent to terminate and stating the grounds therefor if
the other party shall materially breach or materially fail in the observance or
performance of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this
Agreement (i.e., a termination for "CAUSE"). The party receiving such notice
shall have 30 days from the date of receipt thereof to cure the purported breach
or failure. In the event such breach or failure is cured to the satisfaction of
the non-defaulting party, the notice of termination shall be of no effect. In
the event EES delivers such a notice of termination, EES's payment obligations
under Section 2.1(b)hereof automatically shall be suspended until the purported
breach or failure is timely cured in accordance with this Section 10.1. If the
purported breach or failure is not timely cured and the Agreement terminated,
EES shall be relieved from its payment obligations under Section 2.1(b) hereof
and shall have no liability to Vista therefor.

10.2     TERMINATION BY EES WITHOUT "CAUSE". Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, EES may terminate this Agreement without Cause at
any time during the initial or any additional term upon 90 days' prior written
notice. The giving of such notice during any additional term will automatically
relieve EES of its obligation under Section 2.1(b) hereof to pay the second ***
of the annual fee for such additional term and EES shall have no liability to
Vista therefor.

10.3     EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Other than as provided in Sections 10.1 and 10.2
above, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not release either

by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then
pertaining, except where those rules conflict with this provision, in which case
this provision controls. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the
federal district court for the district in which the arbitration is held for the
enforcement of this provision and the entry of judgment on any award rendered
hereunder. Should such court for any reason lack jurisdiction, any court with
jurisdiction shall enforce this clause and enter judgment on any award. The
arbitrator shall be an attorney who has at least 15 years of experience with a
law firm or corporate law department of over 25 lawyers or was a judge of a
court of general jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be held in California if
initiated by Vista and Ohio if initiated by EES and in rendering the award the

conflicts with this clause), except that the interpretation and enforcement of
this arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The
arbitrator shall be neutral, independent, disinterested, impartial and shall
abide by The Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes approved by

enforce appropriate rules to ensure that the proceedings, including the
decision, be kept confidential and that all confidential information of the
parties be kept confidential and be used for no purpose other than the
arbitration and (c) shall have the power to enforce specifically this Agreement
and the terms and conditions hereof in addition to any other remedies at law or
in equity. Within 45 days of initiation of arbitration, the parties shall reach
agreement upon and thereafter follow procedures assuring that the arbitration
will be concluded and the award rendered within no more than six months from
selection of the arbitrator. Failing such agreement, the AAA will design and the
parties will follow procedures that meet such a time schedule. Each party has
the right before or, if the arbitrator cannot hear the matter within an
acceptable period, during the arbitration to seek and obtain from the
appropriate court provisional remedies such as attachment, preliminary
injunction, replevin, etc., to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo
or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT
AWARD ANY PARTY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLIED OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND

OR OBTAIN PREJUDGMENT INTEREST OR ATTORNEYS' FEES OR COSTS.

11.4     RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The parties hereto are entering into this
Agreement as independent contractors, and nothing herein is intended or shall be
construed to create between the parties a relationship of principal and agent,
partners, joint venturers or employer and employee. Neither party shall hold
itself out to others or seek to bind or commit the other party in any manner
inconsistent with the foregoing provision.

11.5     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The parties have, in this Agreement, incorporated all
representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements on which they have relied
in entering into this Agreement, and, except as provided for herein, neither
party makes any commitment to the other concerning its future action.
Accordingly, this Agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
there are no promises, representations, conditions, provisions or terms related
thereto other than those set forth in this Agreement and (b) supersedes all
previous understandings, agreements and representations between the parties,
written or oral. VISTA AGREES THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES GIVEN
HEREIN BY EES ARE IN LIEU OF, AND VISTA HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO,
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH MAY OTHERWISE BE APPLICABLE BECAUSE OF THE
PROVISIONS OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER STATUTE, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by each of the
parties hereto; provided, that, EES in its sole discretion can modify, change or
amend Exhibit A hereto to delete or add products; and provided; further, that
Vista can modify, change or amend Exhibit B subject to the consent of EES, which
cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

11.7     WAIVER. The failure of either party to enforce at any time for any
period the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of
such provisions or of the right of such party thereafter to enforce each such
provision.

party without the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) of the other, except that (a) EES may assign its rights and/or

11.9     SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions (or
any part thereof) contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument
referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement or any other such instrument. Any term or provision of this
Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
to the extent the economic benefits conferred by this Agreement to both parties
remain substantially unimpaired, not affect the validity, legality or
enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.

pursuant to this Agreement by Vista to EES are for all purposes of Section

"intellectual property" as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. The parties agree
that EES, as a beneficiary of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and
may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.
Vista agrees during the term of this Agreement to create and maintain current
copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other
appropriate embodiments, of all such intellectual property. If a case is
commenced by or against Vista under the Bankruptcy Code, then, unless and until
this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, Vista (in any
capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns
(including, without limitation, a Bankruptcy Code trustee) shall either perform
all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be performed by Vista or
provide to EES all such intellectual property (including all embodiments
thereof) held by Vista and such successors and assigns, as EES may elect in a
written request, immediately upon such request. If a Bankruptcy Code case is
commenced by or against Vista, this Agreement is rejected as provided in the
Bankruptcy Code and EES elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in the
Bankruptcy Code, then Vista (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession)
and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a Bankruptcy Code
trustee) shall provide to EES all such intellectual property (including all
embodiments thereof) held by Vista and such successors and assigns immediately
upon EES's written request therefor. All rights, powers and remedies of EES
provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other
rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
(including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of any such
commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Vista. EES, in addition to
the rights, powers and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be entitled to
exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other such remedies
as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy
Code) in such event.

11.11    FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS. If either party is prevented from performing any
of its obligations hereunder due to any cause which is beyond its reasonable
control, including: fire, explosion, flood, or other acts of God; acts,
regulations, or laws of any government; war or civil commotion; strike, lock-out
or labor disturbances; or failure of public utilities or common carriers (a
"FORCE MAJEURE EVENT"), such party shall not be liable for breach of this
Agreement

with respect to such non-performance to the extent any such non-performance is
due to a Force Majeure Event. Such non-performance will be excused as long as
such event shall be continuing, provided that such party gives immediate written
notice to the other party of the Force Majeure Event. Each party experiencing
the Force Majeure Event shall exercise reasonable efforts to eliminate the Force
Majeure Event and to resume performance of its affected obligations as soon as
practicable.

11.12    EXPENSES. Each party shall pay all of its own fees and expenses
(including all legal, accounting and other advisory fees) incurred in
connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the
arrangements contemplated hereby.

companies on sponsoring the highest quality surgical training, in conjunction
with associated products and programs, as keys to addressing the needs of
physicians and patients in minimally invasive bariatric surgery.

The alliance agreement also provides that the companies will evaluate other

strengthens and extends the collaboration which Vista and Ethicon Endo-Surgery

the option of minimally invasive gastric bypass surgery as a proven solution for
morbid obesity and its co-morbidities. It also emphasizes our joint commitment
to offer the highest level of training, products and services to this rapidly
evolving market. The financial, product and marketing support provided by
