In the event the Net Income of Acquisition Sub equals or exceeds the Target Amount, Acquisition Sub shall pay to IVonyx One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Earnout Payment") in accordance - --------------- with the terms of this Section 2.5. If the Acquisition Sub Financial Statements ----------- indicate that Net Income is less than the Target Amount, then unless the Representative gives written notice to Acquisition Sub on or before the twentieth (20th) calendar day after the Representative's receipt of the Acquisition Sub Financial Statements, specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items and the basis therefor, the Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Acquisition Sub Financial Statements and Acquisition Sub shall have no obligation to pay the Earnout Payment to IVonyx. If the Representative so notifies Acquisition Sub of his objection to the Acquisition Sub Financial Statements, the Representative and Acquisition Sub shall, within twenty (20) days following such notice, attempt to resolve their differences in good faith, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. If, at the end of such twenty (20) day period, the Representative and Acquisition Sub are unable to resolve such disagreements, the independent accountants of Acquisition Sub and the Representative shall jointly select a third independent auditor of recognized national standing to resolve any remaining disagreements, which third independent auditor shall not have provided accounting services to Acquisition Sub, Parent or any IVonyx Party during the five (5) year period immediately preceding the Closing Date, and which auditor so selected will be set forth in writing and will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties (the "Independent Accountant"). Acquisition Sub and ---------------------- the Representative shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to make its determination within thirty (30) calendar days of accepting its selection. The determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties.

(b) The Earnout Payment (and any interest thereon) shall be made by cashiers or certified bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by IVonyx. The Earnout Payment shall, to the extent required by law, be deemed to include interest at the applicable federal rate under the Code (it being understood that such deemed interest will not affect the amount due and payable under this Section 2.5). ----------- (c) In connection with the operation of the Business after the Closing, the Koop Parties agree to maintain separate divisional books and records for the Business in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The Koop Parties and IVonyx agree to act in good faith during the Earnout Period relative to the Business and not to take actions that (i) would be unfairly prejudicial or discriminatory to the Business or to the interests of IVonyx in receiving the Earnout Payment and (ii) are not taken in good faith for valid business reasons. (d) Upon delivery of the Acquisition Sub Financial Statements, Acquisition Sub shall afford to IVonyx and its accounting representatives prompt and reasonable access upon reasonable notice to all information reasonably necessary to verify calculation of the Net Income.

(e) Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" with respect to this Section 2.5: ----------- (i) failure by Acquisition Sub to pay any amount when due under this Section 2.5; or ----------- (ii) any direct or indirect sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Acquisition Sub; unless the purchaser assumes the Koop Parties' obligations under this Section 2.5; or ----------- (iii) any sale of stock, merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, or similar transaction which results in persons other than the holders of Acquisition Sub's common stock immediately prior to such transaction holding a number of shares of Acquisition Sub's common stock possessing the power, under ordinary circumstances, to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of Acquisition Sub or the surviving entity following any such 13 transaction; unless the surviving entity confirms that it will remain obligated to comply with the terms of this Section 2.5 to the same extent as the Koop ----------- Parties. In the event that one or more Events of Default described in subsections (i) or (ii) above shall occur, then the Earnout Payment shall be immediately due and payable without demand, notice or declaration of any kind whatsoever, notwithstanding whether or not the Net Income equals or would have equaled the Target Amount. In the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default, IVonyx may exercise any remedies set forth in this Section 2.5 or ----------- otherwise in this Agreement or any other rights and remedies available to IVonyx under applicable law. 2.6 Allocation of Purchase Price.

The IVonyx Parties acknowledge that the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information is likely to be highly prejudicial to the interests of Parent, Acquisition Sub or their customers, clients and patrons, an invasion of privacy, or an improper disclosure of trade secrets. The IVonyx Parties agree that a substantial portion of the Purchase Price is being paid for such Confidential Information and that it represents a substantial investment having great economic and commercial value to Acquisition Sub and Parent, and constitutes a substantial part of the value to Acquisition Sub and Parent of the Business. The IVonyx Parties further acknowledge that Acquisition Sub and Parent would be irreparably damaged if any of the Confidential Information was disclosed to, or used or exploited on behalf of, any Person other than Acquisition Sub or any of its Affiliates. Accordingly, the IVonyx Parties covenant and agree that they shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall use their best efforts to ensure that any agents, representatives, Affiliates and any other persons acting on the IVonyx Parties' behalf (the IVonyx Parties and such agents, representatives, Affiliates and other persons with respect to the IVonyx Parties being collectively referred to as the "Restricted Persons") do ------------------ not, without the prior written consent of Acquisition Sub, disclose, use, exploit, furnish or make accessible to anyone or any other entity, any such Confidential Information, for the benefit of any such Restricted Person or of any third party, at any time for so long as such information shall remain secret or confidential or otherwise remain wholly or partially protectable except that any IVonyx Party may use or exploit a particular item of Confidential Information if and to the extent (but only if and to the extent) that such item is: (i) or becomes generally known on a non-confidential basis to persons in the industry, through no wrongful act of any Restricted Person, in which Acquisition Sub, Parent or any IVonyx Party is engaged and is part of the public domain; (ii) or was within an IVonyx Party's possession prior to its being furnished to such IVonyx Party by or on behalf of any IVonyx Party, Parent or Acquisition Sub, provided that the source of such information was not known by such IVonyx Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to any IVonyx Party, Parent or Acquisition Sub or any other Person with respect to such information; or 36 (iii) or becomes available to an IVonyx Party on a non- confidential basis from a source other than any IVonyx Party, Parent or Acquisition Sub or any of their respective representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to any IVonyx Party, Parent or Acquisition Sub or any other Person with respect to such information. (b) The IVonyx Parties hereby expressly acknowledge that the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 are integral to the purchase of the ----------- Assets by Parent and that without the protection of such covenants, Acquisition Sub and Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. The IVonyx Parties hereby further acknowledge that money damages will be impossible to calculate and may not adequately compensate Acquisition Sub and Parent in connection with an actual or threatened breach by a Restricted Person of the provisions of this Section 6.7. Accordingly, on his or her own behalf and on behalf of each of the - ----------- other Restricted Persons, the IVonyx Parties hereby expressly waive all rights to raise the adequacy of Acquisition Sub's or Parent's remedies at law as a defense if Acquisition Sub or Parent seeks to enforce by injunction or other equitable relief the due and proper performance and observance of the provisions of this Section 6.7. In addition, Acquisition Sub or Parent shall be entitled to ----------- pursue any other available remedies at law or equity, including the recovery of money damages, in respect of the actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.7. ----------- (c) The IVonyx Parties hereby expressly waive any right to assert inadequacy of consideration as a defense to enforcement of the confidentiality covenants in this Section 6.7 should such enforcement ever become necessary. ----------- (d) Notwithstanding clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.7, the ----------- IVonyx Parties may use Confidential Information (other than trade secrets) relating to the Assets or the Excluded Assets following the Closing Date to the extent reasonably necessary to (i) collect accounts receivable included in the Excluded Assets and pay accounts payable included in the Excluded Liabilities, (ii) settle existing or prospective claims relating to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities, (iii) restructure financial obligations relating to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities, (iv) make changes in their capital structure, or (v) otherwise wind up the business and affairs of IVonyx relating to the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities; provided the IVonyx Parties preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as much as reasonably practicable. 6.8 Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this -------- Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense. If any Party to this Agreement brings an action to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action. 6.9 Employee Matters. ---------------- (a) Parent or Acquisition Sub shall extend offers of employment to those employees of the IVonyx Parties whom it desires to hire (such employees are hereinafter referred to as the "Rehired Employees"), which offers shall be ----------------- on terms and conditions which Parent or 37 Acquisition Sub shall determine in its sole discretion.

(b) The IVonyx Parties shall comply with the requirements of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 ("WARN") with respect ---- to any "plant closing" or "mass layoff", as those terms are defined in WARN, which may result from the termination of the employment of any of the employees of the Business in connection with the sale of the Assets to Parent or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (c) The IVonyx Parties shall be solely responsible for all of the Benefit Plans and all obligations and liabilities thereunder. Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall assume any of the Benefit Plans or any obligation or liability thereunder. (d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon any Rehired Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment by Acquisition Sub or Parent, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of Acquisition Sub or Parent to terminate the employment of any of the Rehired Employees at any time, with or without cause, or restrict Acquisition Sub or Parent in the exercise of its independent business judgment in modifying any of the terms and conditions of the employment of the Rehired Employees. (e) No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Rehired Employee, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and benefits that may be provided to any Rehired Employee by Acquisition Sub or Parent or under any benefit plan which Acquisition Sub or Parent may maintain. (f) The IVonyx Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, hire or offer employment to or seek to hire or offer employment to any employee of any IVonyx Party whose employment is continued by Acquisition Sub or Parent after the Closing Date or any employee of Acquisition Sub, Parent or any successor or Affiliate of Acquisition Sub or Parent which is engaged in the Business, unless Acquisition Sub, Parent or such Affiliate first terminates the employment of such employee or gives its written consent to such employment or offer of employment. 6.10 Audited Financial Statements.
