ARTICLE II
PURCHASE OF LOAN STOCK AND
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE STOCK PURCHASE LOAN
SECTION II.1 PURCHASE OF LOAN STOCK
(A) Generally. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company
has agreed to provide Onisko with the Stock Purchase Loan to enable Onisko to
purchase the Loan Stock. The total maximum number of shares of Loan Stock that
the Company will finance pursuant to the Stock Purchase Loan is 150,000 shares
of Common Stock ("Share Cap"). If there shall occur any recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other
distribution with respect to such shares, or any other change in the corporate
structure affecting the quantity of such shares, the Share Cap shall be
equitably adjusted to preserve Onisko's right to purchase the maximum number of
shares originally contemplated by this Agreement.
(B) Method of Purchases. Onisko shall have the right, in Onisko's sole
and absolute discretion, to purchase any number of shares of Loan Stock (up to
the Share Cap), in the following manner:
(i) Plan Purchases. As of the date hereof, 198,700 shares
of Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan, up to 49,675
shares of which may be purchased by Onisko. In the event that Onisko elects to
purchase all or any part of such Common Stock as Loan Stock pursuant to the Plan
("Plan Purchases"), the Company shall, upon the execution and delivery by Onisko
of a Loan Advance Request, lend to Onisko, pursuant to the Plan, an amount equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price of such shares of Loan
Stock, plus applicable Stock Purchase Expenses, if any. All Loan Stock so
purchased shall be deposited in the Account and shall be subject to the terms of
the Loan Documents and the other Security Documents.
(ii) Interim Purchases. In the event that Onisko shall opt
to purchase Loan Stock other than pursuant to the Plan or any successor plan
thereto (each such purchase, an "Interim Purchase"), upon the execution and
delivery by Onisko of a Loan Advance Request, the Company
5
<PAGE> 9
shall lend to Onisko, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the purchase
price of such shares of Loan Stock, plus applicable Stock Purchase Expenses, if
any. Interim Purchases may be effected by open market purchases via Onisko's own
securities broker or through private negotiations between Onisko and a
third-party (each such purchase being an "Open Market Purchase"). Interim
Purchases may also be effected by direct purchases of Loan Stock from the
Company (a "Direct Purchase") following any purchase by the Company of its
Common Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Plan. The Company shall immediately
notify Onisko of each repurchase of Common Stock under the Repurchase Plan or
otherwise (a "Notification of Common Stock Repurchase"), which notification
shall specify in writing the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased
("Repurchased Common Stock"). Provided that Onisko shall provide notice to the
Company of his intent to purchase a number of shares of such Repurchased Common
Stock (which number shall not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of such
Repurchased Common Stock (the "Direct Purchase Limit")) on the date of Onisko's
receipt of such Notification of Common Stock Repurchase, the Company shall sell
to Onisko on such date such number of shares of Repurchased Common Stock at the
price per share paid by the Company for such shares of Repurchased Common Stock
(excluding all of the Company's fees, costs and expenses associated with
effecting such repurchase). In the event that Onisko fails for any reason to
deliver such notice to the Company on the date of any such repurchase, Onisko
may, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Onisko's receipt of a Notification
of Common Stock Repurchase and by written notice to the Company, elect to
purchase from the Company a number of shares of such Repurchased Common Stock
(not to exceed the Direct Purchase Limit) at a price per share equal to the Fair
Market Value per share on the date that Onisko delivers such notice to the
Company. Any notice to be delivered by Onisko under this Section 2.1(B)(ii)
shall specify the total number of shares Onisko elects to purchase up to the
Direct Purchase Limit (which amount, together with any previously purchased Loan
Stock, may not exceed the Share Cap), and shall provide such other information
as is reasonably necessary for the Company to transfer such shares to Onisko.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall take all action necessary to
properly transfer such Repurchased Common Stock purchased by Onisko to Onisko
and to register Onisko as the owner of same. All Loan Stock so purchased by
Onisko (including all shares of Loan Stock purchased in part with Onisko's own
funds and whether purchased in an Open Market Purchase or as a Direct Purchase)
shall be deposited in the Account and shall be subject to the terms of the Loan
Documents and the other Security Documents.
(iii) Subsequent Plan Purchases. A minimum of one million
(1,000,000) additional shares of Common Stock will be reserved for issuance
under the Plan (or a successor plan) upon the approval of the Company's
shareholders. In the event that Onisko elects to purchase additional Loan Stock
pursuant to the Plan (or a successor plan) ("Subsequent Plan Purchases"), the
Company shall, upon the execution and delivery by Onisko of a Loan Advance
Request, lend to Onisko, pursuant to the Plan (or such successor plan), an
amount up to one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price of such shares of
Loan Stock, plus applicable Stock Purchase Expenses, if any. All Loan Stock so
purchased shall be deposited in the Account and shall be subject to the terms of
the Loan Documents and the other Security Documents.
(iv) Reconciliation of Loan to Value.
6
<PAGE> 10
(a) Payments by Onisko. In the event that the aggregate amount
loaned by the Company to Onisko in connection with the purchase of Loan Stock
(whether purchased as a Plan Purchase, an Interim Purchase or a Subsequent Plan
Purchase) shall, on September 1, 2001 (the "Reconciliation Date"), exceed
seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Loan Stock
purchased as of the Reconciliation Date (the "Loan to Value Ratio"), Onisko
shall promptly pay to the Company such amounts in reduction of the principal
amount of the Loan as shall cause the Loan to Value Ratio to be less than or
equal to seventy-five percent (75%).
(b) Payments by Company. In the event that the aggregate
amount of Onisko's own funds paid by Onisko in connection with the purchase of
Loan Stock hereunder (whether purchased as a Plan Purchase, an Interim Purchase
or a Subsequent Plan Purchase) shall, on the Reconciliation Date, exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Loan Stock
purchased as of the Reconciliation Date, the Company shall (i) forgive such
portion of the aggregate principal amount of the 25% Recourse Note as shall
cause the notional amount paid by Onisko toward the purchase of all Loan Stock
to equal twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate purchase price thereof and
(ii) promptly pay to Onisko such amounts as shall be necessary to compensate
Onisko for any income taxes imposed upon Onisko as a result of such forgiveness
of loan principal.
(C) Method of Payment. Onisko shall pay for purchases of Loan
Stock as follows:
(i) Payment for Plan Purchases. Onisko shall pay for all
Plan Purchases of Loan Stock from the Company within three (3) Business Days
after Onisko receives written notice from Onisko's broker that the applicable
number of shares of Loan Stock have been transferred by the Company to Onisko's
brokerage account. Payment for Plan Purchases of Loan Stock will be made by
Onisko's execution and delivery of a Loan Advance Request to the Company in a
principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Loan Stock being
purchased. The Company shall pay for any Stock Purchase Expenses.
(ii) Payment for Open Market Purchases. Onisko shall pay
for all Open Market Purchases of Loan Stock by: (i) wire transferring directly
to Onisko's broker or a third-party, as the case may be, fifty percent (50%) of
the aggregate purchase price for such shares of Loan Stock being purchased, (ii)
the Company advancing to Onisko an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
aggregate purchase price of such shares, plus Stock Purchase Expenses (the "Draw
Amount") and (iii) Onisko's execution and delivery of a Loan Advance Request to
the Company in a principal amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate
purchase price of the Loan Stock being purchased (plus Stock Purchase Expenses).
The Company shall wire transfer the Draw Amount to Onisko's broker or such
third-party, as the case may be, within one (1) Business Day after receiving
written notice from Onisko containing: (a) the total number of shares of Loan
Stock being purchased; (b) the aggregate purchase price for all such shares of
Loan Stock being purchased; (c) evidence confirming such purchase from Onisko's
broker or third-party, as the case may be; and (d) wire transfer instructions to
the broker or such third-party, as the case may be. The Company shall deliver
all Draw Amounts directly to Onisko's securities
7
<PAGE> 11
broker or such third-party, as the case may be, in accordance with such broker's
or such third-party's requirements.
(iii) Payment for Direct Purchases from Company. Onisko
shall pay for all Direct Purchases of Loan Stock from the Company within three
(3) Business Days after Onisko receives written notice from Onisko's broker that
the applicable number of shares of Loan Stock have been transferred by the
Company to the Account. Onisko shall pay for Direct Purchases of Loan Stock by:
(i) wire transferring directly to the Company fifty percent (50%) of the
aggregate purchase price of the shares of Loan Stock being purchased and (ii)
executing and delivery a Loan Advance Request to the Company in a principal
amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Loan
Stock being purchased. Any Stock Purchase Expenses shall be paid by the Company.
(iv) Payment for Subsequent Plan Purchases. Onisko shall
pay for all Subsequent Plan Purchases of Loan Stock from the Company within
three (3) Business Days after Onisko receives written notice from Onisko's
broker that the applicable number of shares of Loan Stock have been transferred
by the Company to Onisko's brokerage account. Payment for Subsequent Plan
Purchases of Loan Stock will be made by (i) Onisko's execution and delivery of a
Loan Advance Request to the Company in a principal amount equal to the Company
funded portion of the of Loan Stock (plus Stock Purchase Expenses) being
purchased and (ii) Onisko wire transferring directly to the Company the portion
of the purchase price of the Loan Stock not being funded by the Company. Any
Stock Purchase Expenses shall be paid by the Company.
(D) Indemnification for Failure to Fund. The Company shall defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless Onisko from and against all claims, defense costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments and other expenses arising out
of or in connection with a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under
Section 2.1(C) above, time being of the essence with respect to each such
obligation.
(E) Other Purchases. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Share Cap set forth herein is only applicable to shares of Loan
Stock purchased by Onisko, in whole or in part, with funds loaned to Onisko by
the Company and Onisko may purchase such of the Companies securities with his
own funds as he desires, without restriction by the Company, except as provided
by law.
SECTION II.2 THE STOCK PURCHASE LOAN
(A) The Stock Purchase Loan. Subject to the Share Cap and each of
the other terms, conditions and other requirements set forth in this Agreement
and in the Loan Documents, the Company agrees to lend Onisko (the "Stock
Purchase Loan") an amount equal to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the total
purchase price of the Loan Stock purchased by Onisko in a Plan Purchase, (ii)
fifty percent (50%) of the total purchase price of the Loan Stock (plus any and
all Stock Purchase Expenses) purchased by Onisko in an Open Market Purchase, in
a Direct Purchase, or in a combination thereof and (iii) up to one hundred
percent (100%) of the total
8
<PAGE> 12
purchase price of the Loan Stock (plus any and all Stock Purchase Expenses)
purchased by Onisko in a Subsequent Plan Purchase. At the Closing, Onisko shall
execute and deliver to the Company the Collateral Security Agreement, the
Control Agreement, the 25% Recourse Note and the No Recourse Note. Each advance
under the Notes shall be funded following Onisko's execution and delivery to the
Company of a Loan Advance Request.
(B) Non-Recourse. Except as provided below, the Stock Purchase
Loan shall be non-recourse to Onisko such that the Company shall not seek to
enforce any monetary judgement with respect to the Stock Purchase Loan or any
sums due under any Note or any of the Loan Documents against Onisko,
individually, except through recourse to the Collateral and solely to the
Collateral. The non-recourse nature of the Stock Purchase Loan is a material
inducement to Onisko agreeing to accept employment under the Employment
Agreement and Onisko would not have agreed to accept such employment nor borrow
any funds from the Company under the Stock Purchase Loan, but for the
non-recourse nature of the Stock Purchase Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Onisko shall be individually liable for twenty five percent (25%) of the amounts
due under the 25% Recourse Note insofar as such amounts are advanced in
connection with a Plan Purchase or a Subsequent Plan Purchase.
(C) Interest Rate. The Stock Purchase Loan shall accrue interest,
at the Stock Purchase Loan Interest Rate, as provided in each Note. Interest
under each Note shall commence to accrue as of the date of disbursal or wire
transfer by the Company. When monies are disbursed by wire transfer, such monies
shall be considered advanced at the time of receipt thereof by the receiving
institution.
(D) Repayment and Term. The Stock Purchase Loan shall be repaid as
provided in each Note, which shall be generally as follows: quarterly payments
of accrued interest only shall be due on June 30, September 30, December 31 and
March 31 during each year during the term of the Loan and shall be paid within
thirty (30) days after the due date thereof, and all accrued interest and
outstanding principal shall be paid on the Maturity Date (as defined below). The
Stock Purchase Loan shall mature at the earlier of (the "Maturity Date"): (i)
ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement; or (ii) two (2) years following
termination of Onisko's employment by the Company under the Employment Agreement
with "Cause" pursuant to Section 4(C) of the Employment Agreement.
(E) Prepayments and Sale of Loan Stock. The Stock Purchase Loan
may be prepaid, in whole or in part, any time without any penalty or premium.
Except for prepayments made by Onisko pursuant to Section 2.1(B)(iv) hereof,
prepayments shall first be applied to accrued interest, then to principal. At
any time Onisko shall have the right to sell all or any portion of the Loan
Stock constituting the Collateral provided that Onisko pays the Company the "Per
Share Release Price" from the proceeds derived from such sale. The "Per Share
Release Price" shall be an amount calculated by dividing the outstanding
principal amount of and accrued interest on the Stock Purchase Loan as of the
date of such sale by the total number of shares of Loan Stock subject to the
Collateral Security Agreement immediately prior to such sale.
9
<PAGE> 13
(F) Security. The Stock Purchase Loan shall be secured by the Loan
Stock pursuant to a Collateral Security Agreement, as more particularly provided
for in Article III below.
(G) Shareholder Rights. Onisko shall have all rights of a
stockholder with respect to the Loan Stock, including without limitation, the
right to vote such Loan Stock and the right to receive dividends; provided that
Onisko may not sell, transfer, assign, or hypothecate the Loan Stock or take any
action which would violate the terms of the Stock Pledge Agreement unless, in
respect of each share of such Loan Stock, Onisko has paid the Company the Per
Share Release Price described above.
SECTION II.3 INTENT NOT TO COMMIT USURY
Onisko does not intend or expect to pay, nor does the Company intend or
expect to charge, accept or collect, any interest under this Agreement, any Note
or any other Loan Document or other instrument executed in connection herewith
greater than the maximum legal rate of interest which may be charged under
applicable law. Should any event result in the computation or earning of
interest in excess of such maximum legal rate, any and all such excess shall be
refunded to Onisko. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any Note or other Loan Document or instrument delivered in connection
herewith, the amount of interest due under the terms of this Agreement, each
Note, each other Loan Document or any other instrument shall in no event exceed
the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by law.
SECTION II.4 USE OF PROCEEDS
The proceeds of the Stock Purchase Loan shall be used by Onisko solely
to purchase the Loan Stock as provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
SECURITY FOR THE STOCK PURCHASE LOAN
SECTION III.1 SECURITY INTEREST
As security for the full and timely payment of the principal and
interest under the Stock Purchase Loan, Onisko grants to the Company a first
priority and continuing security interest in and lien upon the Collateral.
SECTION III.2 SECURITY DOCUMENTS

satisfactory to the Company, any and all security agreements, hypothecation
agreements, assignments, pledge agreements, financing statements, notices of

<PAGE> 14
guarantees and any other documents relating to any security as the Company shall
reasonably require from time to time (all herein referred to collectively as the
"Security Documents").
SECTION III.3 FILING AND RECORDING
The Company shall bear the cost and expense of causing such of the
Security Documents to be duly recorded and/or filed in all places necessary, in
the reasonable opinion of the Company, to perfect and protect the interest of
the Company in the Collateral covered thereby. Onisko hereby authorizes the
Company to file any financing statement or notice of lien in respect of any
security interest created pursuant to this Agreement which may at any time be
required or which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, may at any time be
desirable, although the same may have been executed only by the Company, or, at
the reasonable opinion of the Company, to sign such financing statement or
notice of lien on behalf of Onisko and file the same. In the event that any
rerecording or refilling thereof (or the filing of any statements of
continuation or assignment of any financing statement) is required to protect
and preserve security interests in favor of the Company, the Company shall bear
the cost and expense of causing the same to be recorded and/or refiled at the
time and in the manner reasonably required by the Company. The Company shall
provide Onisko with written notice before recording or filing any documents
pursuant to this provision.
ARTICLE IV

This Agreement, the Stock Pledge Agreement and the Control Agreement
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each constitutes, the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the

affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity
regardless of whether enforcement is pursuant to a proceeding in equity or at
law.
