contained below in this Section and except as described in the SEC Reports (as
defined below), the Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants
with, the Purchasers as of the Closing as follows:

     4.1 ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority and all licenses,
permits and authorizations to conduct its business as it is currently being
conducted and as it is presently proposed to be conducted and to own, lease and
operate its properties. True and complete copies of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company, as amended to and as in effect on
the date hereof, have been delivered to the Investors as certified by the
Company's Secretary. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to transact
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
in which the failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. As used
in this Agreement, a "Material Adverse Effect" means (a) a material adverse
effect upon the business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial
or otherwise) of the Company or, as the case may be, the Company and any of its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (b) the impairment of the ability of the
Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Documents
(defined below in Section 4.2).

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the management rights
letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Management Rights Letter") and the

corporate and stockholder action by the Company and its stockholders,
respectively. Upon the execution and delivery by the Company, and assuming the
valid execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Management Rights Letter
(collectively, the "Documents") by each of the Purchasers, the Documents will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with each of their respective terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and
except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law), including specific performance, and except as the
indemnification provisions contained in Section 9.4 hereof may be legally
unenforceable.

     4.3 NO CONFLICTS. The Company's execution, delivery and performance of the
Documents will not violate, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute
(upon notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, mortgage, pledge, charge
or other encumbrance, of any material nature, upon any properties or assets of
the Company under any (a) law, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order,
decree, ruling, charge or other restriction of any government, governmental
agency, court or arbitrator to which the Company is subject, (b) the Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or
(c) any provision of any material indenture, mortgage, agreement, contract or
other material instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the

transfer or sell, or cause to be issued, transferred or sold, any shares of
capital stock of the Company or other equity interests in the Company or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares of capital stock or
other equity interests, and there are no outstanding contractual obligations of
the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or prepare and file with
the SEC any registration statement to register under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act") with respect to, any such shares of capital
stock or other equity interests.

     4.9 NASDAQ MARKET. The Company's Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq
Market under the trading symbol "ONXX," and there are no proceedings to revoke

     4.10 ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the Company's best knowledge, that has been filed,
commenced or threatened, by or before any governmental agency, court or

the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (including, without limitation, any
such action, suit, proceeding or investigation that questions the validity of
this Agreement or the issuance of the Shares thereunder).

     4.11 INTANGIBLE RIGHTS. To the Company's best knowledge, the Company owns
or has the right to use pursuant to valid and enforceable licenses, sublicenses,
agreements or permissions, all Intangible Rights (as defined below) that are
necessary or desirable for the conduct of the business of the Company as it is
currently being conducted and as it is presently proposed to be conducted, and
no claims adverse to the interests of the Company are pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Company, have been threatened or otherwise asserted with

Company's best knowledge, the Company is not infringing any Intangible Right

third party infringing any Intangible Right owned or used by the Company. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Intangible Rights" means (i) all
inventions (whether patentable or unpatentable, and whether or not reduced to
practice), all improvements thereto, and all patents, patent applications, and
patent disclosures, together with all reissuances, continuations,
continuations-in-part, revisions, extensions, and reexaminations thereof, (ii)
all trademarks, service marks, trade dress, logos, trade names and corporate
names, together with all translations, adaptations, derivations and combinations

plans, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings and charges thereunder)
of federal, state, local and foreign governments (and all agencies thereof) in
respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties which
default violation would (either individually or in the aggregate) have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, there exists no
condition, event or act which constitutes, or which after notice, lapse of time
or both, would constitute, such a default or violation under any of the
foregoing except where such a default is not reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

partners and governmental or educational entities that have been previously
disclosed by the Company in the SEC Reports referred to in paragraph (b) of

the Company's best knowledge, the other parties thereto. Except for breaches and
defaults that would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company is not in breach or default under any such contracts or
agreements nor has any event occurred which, with the giving of notice or the
passage of time or both, would constitute a breach or default on the Company's
part thereunder. To the Company's best knowledge, none of the other parties to
such contracts or agreements is in breach or default thereunder nor has any
event occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both,
would constitute a breach or default on such other parties' part that would have
a Material Adverse Effect.

and accuracy of Purchasers'  representations and warranties in Section 5 of this
Agreement,  the offer,  sale and  issuance  of the Common  Stock is exempt  from

employees or stockholders of the Company has employed any broker or finder in
connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

     4.16 NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. There exist no statutory preemptive, or other
similar rights to purchase securities of the Company.

and delivery of this Agreement by each of the Purchaser and the Company, this
Agreement will constitute a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and
except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law), including specific performance, and except to the extent that
the enforceability of the indemnification provisions of Section 9.4 may be
legally unenforceable.

     5.2 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. Purchaser understands that the Shares have
not been registered under the Securities Act. Purchaser also understands that
the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration
contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Purchaser's representations
contained in the Agreement. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as follows:

          (a) Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing
in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the
Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its
investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.
Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the
Shares are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from
registration is available. Purchaser understands that there is no assurance that
any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and
that, even if available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all
or any portion of the Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the
times Purchaser might propose.

          (b) Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of shares
purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.

          (c) The Purchaser agrees that it will not sell, pledge, assign,
transfer, otherwise dispose of or reduce their risk with respect to
(collectively, "Transfer") any of the Shares unless the Transfer will be made
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act


                                       6
<PAGE>

and pursuant to an exemption from any applicable state securities laws or an
effective registration or other qualification under any applicable state
securities laws. The Purchaser understands that exemptions from such
registration requirements are limited. The Company is under no obligation to
register the Shares except as provided in Section 9.

          (d) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares are subject
to certain restrictions as to resale under the federal and state securities
laws. The Purchaser agrees and understands that stop transfer instructions will
be given to the transfer agent for the Shares and each share certificate, and
each certificate delivered on transfer of or in substitution for any such
certificate, shall have affixed a legend in substantially the following form:

               "The shares represented by this certificate have not
               been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
               amended (the "Act"), and may not be offered, sold or
               otherwise transferred, assigned, pledged or
               hypothecated unless and until registered under the act
               or unless the Company has received an opinion of
               counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel
               that such registration is not required.

          (e) Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for Purchaser's own account for
investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution.

          (f) Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its
management's, business or financial experience, Purchaser has the capacity to
protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in
this Agreement. Further, Purchaser is aware of no publication of any
advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.

          (g) Purchaser represents that it is an accredited investor within the
meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

          (h) Purchaser has received the SEC Reports listed in Section 4.6(b)
and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management and
financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has
had the opportunity to review the Company's operations and facilities. Purchaser
has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, the
Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this
investment.

<PAGE>

national securities exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is then traded,
or in privately-negotiated transactions (a "Registration Statement")
(notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, if a
registration statement on Form S-3, or any substitute form, is not then
available for registration of the Registrable Shares, the Company shall be
obligated instead to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on
Form S-1 in order to register the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act
and such registration statement will be a "Registration Statement" for the
purposes of this Agreement);

          (b) use its best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information
from the Purchasers, to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as
promptly after the Registration Date as practicable, but no later than 60 days
after the Registration Date (the "Effective Date") and take all other reasonable
actions necessary under any federal law or regulation to permit all Registrable
Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of;

          (c) promptly notify each Purchaser, at any time when a prospectus

Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in or relating to such Registration Statement contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any fact necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading;

          (d) promptly prepare and file with the SEC, and deliver to each
Purchaser, such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective until termination of such obligation as
provided in Section 9.9 below;

          (e) furnish to each Purchaser such number of copies of prospectuses in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, in order to facilitate
the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by
the Purchasers;

          (f) no later than the Registration Date, file such documents as may be

the Registrable Shares by the Purchasers, including broker's commission,
discounts or fees and transfer taxes; and

          (i) in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity and not in
limitation thereof, the Company shall pay the Purchasers an aggregate of

such Registration Statement together with any applicable Nasdaq Market and state
securities law filings are not effective to permit the lawful public resale of
all the Registrable Shares.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     9.3 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall notify the Purchasers in
writing at least twenty (20) days prior to the filing of any registration
statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of
securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration
statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but
excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit plans or with
respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the
Securities Act) and will afford each Purchaser an opportunity to include in such
registration statement all or part of such Registrable Shares held by such
Purchaser, including the Registrable shares previously registered pursuant to
Section 9.2 which have not been sold by the Purchaser. Each Purchaser desiring
to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Shares held by it shall, within twenty (20) days after the above-described
notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall
state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares by such
Purchaser. If a Purchaser decides not to include all of its Registrable Shares
in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Purchaser
shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Shares
in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be
filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein.

          (a) UNDERWRITING. If the registration statement under which the
Company gives notice under this Section 9.3 is for an underwritten offering, the
Company shall so advise the Purchasers. In such event, the right of any such
Purchaser to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be
conditioned upon such Purchaser participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Purchaser Registrable Shares in the underwriting to the extent
provided herein. All Purchasers proposing to distribute their Registrable Shares
through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of
shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to
the Company; second, to the Holders on a PRO RATA basis based on the total
number of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Agreement) held
by the Holders; third, to the Purchasers on a PRO RATA basis based on the total
number of Registrable Shares held by the Purchasers; and fourth, any shareholder
of the Company (other than a Holder or a Purchaser) on a PRO RATA basis. If any
Purchaser disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Purchaser may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective
date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Shares excluded or withdrawn
from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
For any Purchaser which is a partnership, corporation or limited liability
company, the partners, retired partners, shareholders, members or retired
members of such Purchaser, or the estates and family members of any such
partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the
foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single "Purchaser", and any PRO RATA
reduction with respect to such "Purchaser" shall be based upon the aggregate
amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and
individuals included in such "Purchaser," as defined in this sentence.

          (b) RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. The Company shall have the right
to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 9.3

                                       11
<PAGE>

prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Purchaser has
elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of
such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with
Section 9.2(h) hereof.

9.4 INDEMNIFICATION

          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser
and underwriter (and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which such Purchaser (or such underwriter or
controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise)
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any Untrue
Statement contained in the Registration Statement on the Effective Date thereof,
or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included
in the Registration Statement and the Company will reimburse such Purchaser (or
such underwriter or controlling person) for any reasonable legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend
any such action, proceeding or claim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall
not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of, or is based upon, an Untrue Statement made in such
Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser
specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, or the
failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained
in Section 9.5 hereof respecting the sale of the Registrable Shares or any
statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent
prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or
sales by the Purchaser.

          (b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company and underwriter (and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer
of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the
Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
the Company (or any such underwriter, officer, director or controlling person)
may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect
thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any failure to comply with the
covenants and agreements contained in Section 9.5 hereof respecting sale of the
Registrable Shares, or any Untrue Statement contained in the Registration
Statement on the Effective Date thereof if such Untrue Statement was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on
behalf of such Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration
Statement, and such Purchaser will reimburse the Company (or such underwriter,
officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to
defend any such action, proceeding or claim; PROVIDED that in no event shall any
indemnity by a Purchaser under this Section 9.4 exceed the net proceeds received
by such Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Shares covered by such
Registration Statement.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a written
notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity
is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 9.4,

                                       12
<PAGE>

such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such
claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions
hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an
indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified
thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and,
to the extent it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the
indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the
defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such
indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it
inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same
counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or
any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to
retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.4 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; PROVIDED, that in
no event shall any contribution by a Purchaser hereunder exceed the net proceeds
received by such Purchaser from the sale of the Shares covered by the
Registration Statement.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution in the underwriting agreement entered into
in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the
foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall
control.

     9.5 TRANSFER OF SHARES AFTER REGISTRATION; NOTICE. The Purchaser hereby
covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Shares after
registration without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement
under the Securities Act to be satisfied. The Purchaser acknowledges that there
may be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a
part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the
Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by
the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with

                                       13
<PAGE>

the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Purchaser hereby covenants that it
will not sell any Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period
commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Purchaser written notice
of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the
Company gives the Purchaser notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect
sales pursuant to said prospectus. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9.5
shall in no manner diminish or otherwise impair the Company's obligations under
Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 hereof.

     9.6 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

          (a) The Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

               (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

               (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other

Company as to whether it complies with the reporting requirements of said Rule
144, the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or whether it
qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to SEC Form
S-3, (2) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and
such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (3) such other
information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Purchasers of any
rule or regulation of the SEC that would permit the selling of the Registrable
Shares without registration.

     9.7 INFORMATION RIGHTS. So long as each Purchaser continues to own at least
ten (10%) of its Registrable Shares, the Company shall provide each such
Purchaser a copy of all SEC Reports promptly after filing such SEC Report with
the SEC.

     9.8 TERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Company pursuant to
Sections 9.2 through 9.6 hereof shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to
occur of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been resold or (ii)
such time as all of the Registrable Shares may be sold during any 90 day period
pursuant to Rule 144, including Rule 144 (k), without being restricted by the
volume limitations of Rule 144(e).

     9.9 ASSIGNABILITY OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The registration rights set forth
in this Section 9 are not assignable other than to an affiliate of a Purchaser
or, if the Purchaser is a partnership or limited liability company, limited
partner or a member of a Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Purchaser shall
only have the right to require the Company to amend the Registration Statement
twice for such assignments.

SECTION 10. BROKER'S FEE. The Company and each Purchaser (severally and not
jointly) shall indemnify each other for any broker's, finder's or agent's fees
for which they are responsible.
