Stock Payment Option.

(i) Notwithstanding Section 8.3(c), on each of the first four annual anniversary dates of this Agreement Provider may elect to receive restricted stock of the Company with a Market Price on the annual anniversary date in question equal to twelve and one-half percent of the Practice Valuation. Dentist(s) electing to receive Company stock pursuant to this paragraph must give written notice to the Company of the Dentist(s) election to receive Company stock at least thirty days prior to the annual anniversary date in question. Any stock certificates issued to Provider pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) shall bear on their face a legend indicating the restrictions imposed by this Agreement.

(ii) Should the Provider elect the option described under Section 8.3(c)(i) on the five (5) year anniversary date of this Agreement, then the Final Cash Purchase Payment will be reduced by an amount equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Practice Valuation for each time that Provider elected to received Company stock on an annual anniversary of this Agreement and the provisions of Section 8.3(c)(i), as applicable, shall otherwise remain unaltered. For example, if the Practice Valuation was $1,000,000 and the Provider elected to receive Company stock on the first and third anniversary dates of this Agreement, then the Final Cash Purchase Payment would be reduced to $250,000.

(iii) Should the Provider elect the option described under Section 8.3(c)(ii) or 8.3(c)(iii), on the five (5) year anniversary date of this Agreement, then any Company stock that was issued to Provider pursuant to Section 8.3(d)(1) shall be returned to the Company for cancellation and the provisions of either Section 8.3(c)(ii) or 8.3(c)(iii), as selected by Provider, shall otherwise remain unaltered.

(iiii) The Provider electing to receive Company stock under this Agreement is deemed to make the representations and warranties set forth in Appendix 5 on each occasion that Provider gives written notice of its election to acquire Company stock hereunder.

(e)

Termination Prior to Five (5) Year Anniversary of the Closing Date.

(i) In the event of the death of the Dentist and where Provider has maintained the life insurance policy as required by Management Agreement, then, for purposes of Section 8.3(c), the requirement that this Agreement shall have been in effect for a five (5) year period shall be waived and Provider will be deemed to have elected to sell the Dental Practice under the option described in Section 8.3(c)(i).

(ii) In the event that (i) Dentist is called to serve a full time mission for the Church of Xxxxx Xxxxxx of Latter-Day Saints, (ii) the mission is for a period of 24 months or longer, and (iii) the mission call is not initiated by Dentist, then, for purposes of Section 8.3(c), the requirement that this Agreement shall have been in effect for a five (5) year period shall be waived and Provider will be deemed to have elected to sell the Dental Practice under the option described in Section 8.3(c)(i). In addition, the options granted to Provider pursuant to Section 6.3 shall continue to vest over the time periods described in the option grant.

(f) Stock Bonus. In the event that Dental Cooperative acquires the Dental Practice and Provider makes the election set forth in Section 8.3(c)(i), then Dental Cooperative will issue to Provider restricted stock of the Company with a Market Price on the date that title to the Dental Practice is transferred to Dental Cooperative equal to the eight percent (8%) of Collections during the one year period immediately prior to the transfer of the Dental Practice to Dental Cooperative or its nominees.

(g) Non-Compete and Non Solicitation Provisions. If this Agreement is terminated by Provider after the first year following Closing for an unremedied breach or default by Dental Cooperative, the provisions of Article 4 regarding non-compete and non-solicitation shall not continue in force after the termination of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents; provided that in any dispute between the parties concerning any breach or default under this Agreement, the terms of Article 4 shall continue in force and effect pending the final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.4 Operative Documents Independent. Any termination of this Agreement shall not terminate the Guaranty, or other Operative Documents unless expressly provided in this Agreement or as separately agreed in writing between the parties.

AFFILIATE MEMBER PRACTICE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Form of Guaranty

[see attached]

Dental Cooperative, Inc.

GUARANTY

In consideration of the benefits to accrue to the undersigned under the Affiliate Member Practice Purchase Agreement (the “Member Agreement”) by and between the Guarantor(s) (identified below), Provider (identified below) and Dental Cooperative, Inc. (“Dental Cooperative”), of even date herewith, the undersigned Guarantor(s) hereby jointly and severally and absolutely and unconditionally, guarantee to Dental Cooperative the prompt payment and performance when due, and at all times thereafter, of all of Provider’s Obligations (defined below), including all costs, attorney’s fees and expenses that may be incurred by Dental Cooperative by reason of the Provider’s default in the payment of such Obligations or the default of the undersigned hereunder.

The obligations guaranteed herein (the “Obligations”) shall include, without limitation, all Provider’s obligations under the Member Agreement, Management Agreement (as defined in the Member Agreement) and all documents executed pursuant thereto, including but not limited to Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation due to Dental Cooperative, and any and all other indebtedness and/or obligations (now or at any time in the future) owing to Dental Cooperative by Provider, whether or not evidenced by a note or notes, incurred on open account or pursuant to leases or subleases of real or personal property, bills receivable, drafts and overdrafts, checks, other instruments or evidences of indebtedness, discounts for cash and other debt, whether or not jointly owed with others, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether or not from time-to-time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created, or incurred.

This is an absolute and continuing guarantee of payment in any event and shall not terminate until Dental Cooperative has been paid in full the total amount of the Obligations and Provider has performed all obligations now or hereafter owing to Dental Cooperative. HOWEVER, ONCE PROVIDER HAS SATISFIED ALL OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS TO DENTAL COOPERATIVE, AS OUTLINED IN THE MEMBER AGREEMENT AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE VOID AND OF NO FURTHER EFFECT.

The undersigned agrees that the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by:

(a)

The taking or accepting of any other security or guaranty for the payment or performance of any or all of the Obligations;

(b)

Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, loss or waiver of any security for the Obligations;

(c)

Any partial release of the liability of the undersigned or any of them hereunder or under any other instrument executed in connection with or as security for the Obligations;

(d)

The dissolution, liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy, discharge, disability or lack of corporate power of the Provider, the undersigned, or any party at any time liable for the payment of any or all of the Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter occurring;

(e)

Any renewal, extension, amendment, modification and/or rearrangement of the terms of payment of any or all of the Obligations or the performance of any covenants contained in any instrument executed in connection with or as security for the Obligations, either with or without notice to or consent of the undersigned, or any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that may be granted or given by Dental Cooperative to any party;

(f)

Any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Dental Cooperative to take or prosecute any action for the collection of the Obligation or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection with any security for the Obligations;

(g)

The sale, encumbrance or transfer of the Provider’s interest in any security for the Obligations;

(h)

Any failure of Dental Cooperative to notify the undersigned of any of the foregoing actions or events or any new agreement between Dental Cooperative and the Provider, it being understood that Dental Cooperative shall not be required to give the undersigned any notice of any kind under any circumstances whatsoever with respect to or in connection with the Obligations hereby guaranteed.

In the event of default in payment or performance by the Provider, the undersigned agrees that Dental Cooperative may first proceed against the undersigned pursuant to this Guaranty and against any security given by the undersigned in connection herewith to satisfy the Obligations, without first having to proceed against the Provider or exhaust or liquidate any security which may have been given to Dental Cooperative by the Provider, the undersigned or any other person.

The undersigned hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof and the presentment, demand, protest and notice of nonpayment or nonperformance or protest as to any note or obligation signed, accepted or delivered to Dental Cooperative by the Provider, and the undersigned waives all setoffs and counterclaims. Payment and performance by the undersigned hereunder shall not entitle the undersigned, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment by the Provider except after Dental Cooperative has received full payment and performance of all amounts and Obligations to be paid and performed by the Provider contingently, absolutely or otherwise to Dental Cooperative. Any rights which the undersigned might now or hereafter hold against the Provider are and will remain subordinate, junior and inferior to all rights which Dental Cooperative now or hereafter has against the Provider.

This Guaranty shall be binding on the undersigned, his heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Dental Cooperative, as well as Dental Cooperative’s successors and assigns. All of Dental Cooperative’s rights hereunder shall be cumulative, and not alternative.

The undersigned consents to the assignment of all or any portion of Dental Cooperative’s rights hereunder in connection with any assignment of its rights against the Provider without notice to the undersigned.

This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed according to, the internal laws of the State of Utah.

The undersigned agrees that he will not be relieved of any of his obligations hereunder by reason of any permitted sale or other disposition of all or any part of his interest in the Provider or by any act of any kind or character, other than the full payment and performance by the Provider of all obligations guaranteed hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, the undersigned hereby irrevocably waives all rights he may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the undersigned to Dental Cooperative’s rights) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from Provider, any other guarantor, or any person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any obligations of Provider to Dental Cooperative, for any disbursement made by the undersigned under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.

It is understood that Dental Cooperative if required by the Lender will enter into a subordination agreement with Lender (as defined in the Member Agreement) whereby Dental Cooperative subordinates its rights granted hereunder to the rights of Lender under the Loan (as defined in the Member Agreement).

THE UNDERSIGNED HAS READ THIS GUARANTY AND HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY OF HIS CHOICE REGARDING ITS TERMS. BY SIGNING BELOW, THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY.

Provider hereby represents and warrants that:

(a) Provider’s representations are complete and accurate to the best of Provider’s knowledge, and the Company may rely upon them. Provider will notify the Company immediately if any material change occurs in any of this information before grant of option and/or the issuance of Company shares to Provider (individually and collectively, the “Shares”).

(b) Provider is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, can afford the loss of the entire investment in the Shares, and will, after making an investment in the Shares, have sufficient means of providing for Provider’s current needs and possible future contingencies. Additionally, Provider’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Provider’s net worth and that the acquisition of the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(c) The Shares will not be sold by Provider without registration under applicable securities acts or a proper exemption from such registration.

(d) The Shares are being acquired for Provider’s own accounts and risk, for investment purposes, and not on behalf of any other person or with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. Provider is are aware that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares.

(e) Provider has had access to any and all information concerning the Company that Provider and Provider’s financial, tax and legal advisors required or considered necessary to make a proper evaluation of this investment. Specifically, Provider has had the opportunity to review and has received a copy of the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB and all subsequent filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Securities Filings”). In making the decision to acquire the Shares, Provider and its advisers have relied solely upon the Securities Filings and their own independent investigations, and fully understand that there are no guarantees, assurances or promises in connection with any investment hereunder and understand that the particular tax consequences arising from this investment in the Company will depend upon its individual circumstances. Provider further understands that no opinion is being given as to any securities or tax matters involving this transaction.

(f) All of the representations and warranties of Provider contained herein and all information furnished by Provider to the Company are true, correct and complete in all respects, and Provider agree to notify the Company immediately of any change in any representation, warranty or other information set forth herein.

(g) Provider also understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions relating to the Shares will be placed in the Company’s stock transfer ledger, and that the certificates evidencing the Shares sold will bear legends in substantially the following form:

The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The securities may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company.

The securities represented by this Certificate evidenced hereby are subject to a stock cancellation arrangement (a copy of which may be obtained upon written request from the issuer), and by accepting any interest in such shares the person accepting such interest shall be deemed to agree to and shall become bound by all the provisions of that arrangement.

(h) Provider knows that the Shares subscribed for herein are offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and state securities law based, in part, on these warranties and

representations, which are the very essence of this Agreement, and constitute a material part of the bargained-for consideration without which this Agreement would not have been executed.

(i) Provider has the capacity to protect Provider’s own interest in connection with this transaction or has a pre-existing personal or business relationship with the Company or one or more of its officers, directors or controlling persons consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration such as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of such person with whom such relationship exists.

(j) The Shares were not offered to Provider by way of general solicitation or general advertising and at no time was Provider presented with or solicited by means of any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement.

(k)

Provider is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D.
