The loan was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued interest. In addition, during July 1993 the Issuer entered into a Special Bonus Agreement with Mr. Luksch pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Luksch, on a net after-tax basis, bonuses of $291,000, $281,000 and $222,000 over a three year period coinciding with his payment obligations under the Note, to cover approximately 86% of the purchase price plus interest of such stock. The Note was prepaid in full by Mr. Luksch on December 19, 1995.
