Page 14 of 35

contractor, and neither party may hold themselves out as agents, employees, partners, or representatives of one another. Neither party may bind the other to any contract.

4.10 Internet Marketing. Pursuant to Section 3.1.5, IntegraMed agrees to provide marketing services, including designing marketing plans for implementation by UFC for practice development. In performing such marketing, IntegraMed may maintain the Web site xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or successor site, and will engage in other marketing efforts designed to benefit UFC and other independent clinics for which IntegraMed performs services. IntegraMed will link to UFC on that site, and will list UFC in its other marketing efforts and materials, as appropriate. UFC may also, in its discretion, state expressly that it has retained IntegraMed as a manager, but this is not permission to make a trademark use of the IntegraMed Trade Names, nor may UFC use any IntegraMed Trade Name to identify its own Infertility Services or its clinics. For example, UFC may, but is not required to, add to its Web site a link to the IntegraMed Web site, together with the phrase “an independent member of the IntegraMed Network” or “an independent IntegraMed affiliate”.

4.13 UFC’s failure (except as otherwise provided herein) to cease using the Proprietary Materials at the termination or expiration of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable damage to IntegraMed and to the rights of any licensee of IntegraMed. There is no adequate remedy at law for such failure. In the event of such failure, IntegraMed shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunctive relief and such other relief as any court with jurisdiction may deem just and proper. Additionally, pending such a hearing and the decision on the application for such permanent injunction, IntegraMed shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order, without prejudice to any other remedy available to IntegraMed. All such remedies hereunder shall be at the expense of UFC and shall not be a Cost of Services.

Financial Arrangements

6.1 Compensation. The compensation set forth in this Article 6 is being paid to Management Company in consideration of the substantial commitment made, capital provided and services to be rendered by Management Company hereunder and is fair and reasonable. Management Company shall be paid the following amounts (collectively “Compensation”):

6.1.1 an amount reflecting all Cost of Services (whether incurred by Management Company or UFC) paid or accrued by Management Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

6.1.2 a Base Service Fee, paid monthly but reconciled to annual Revenues, of an amount equal to six percent (6%) of UFC’s Revenues.

It is understood and agreed that the Additional Service Fee is paid to Management Company in the event UFC achieves positive PDE. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to mean that if PDE is negative, Management Company makes a contribution to UFC to cover any such operating losses.

6.2 Accounts Receivable.

6.2.1 On or before the 20th business day of each month, commencing with the first month following the Effective Date, Management Company shall reconcile the



		Page 17 of 35

Receivables of UFC arising during the previous calendar month. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, UFC hereby sells and assigns to Management Company as absolute owner, and Management Company hereby purchases from UFC all Receivables hereafter owned by or arising in favor of UFC on or before the 20th business day of each month. Management Company shall transfer or pay such amount of funds to UFC equal to the Receivables less Compensation due Management Company pursuant to Section 6.1. UFC shall cooperate with Management Company and execute all necessary documents in connection with the purchase and assignment of such Receivables to Management Company or at Management Company’s option, to its lenders. All collections in respect of such Receivables shall be deposited in a bank account at a bank designated by Management Company.

6.2.2 Any Medicare or Medicaid Receivables due to UFC shall be excluded from the operation of Section 6.2.1 hereof. Any such Receivables shall be subject to agreement of UFC and Management Company with respect to the collection thereof.

6.2.3 UFC will be charged monthly interest at an annualized rate equal to the Prime Rate charged by Management Company’s primary bank on Receivables with average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) greater than 60 days for a trailing three-month period. For example, if prime is 6% and UFC’s Revenues are $1,385,000 for a three- month period, the average Revenues per day (assuming 90 days in such three-month period) equals $15,389. If on the last day of that same three-month period UFC’s Receivables are $1.5 million, then UFC’s DSO equal 97 days ($1.5 million divided by $15,389), resulting in interest being charged for the month on $569,393.00 of UFC’s Receivables ($15,389 times 37 days) at a rate of 0.5% ( 6% prime rate divided by 12), or a $2,846.97 interest charge. Any application of this Section 6.2.3 shall exclude Bad Debt from the determination of Receivables subject to an interest payment.

6.2.4 On or before the 20^th business day of each month, commencing with the month following the Effective Date, Management Company shall remit to UFC the PDE generated for the previous calendar month.

As security for such Advances, UFC shall deliver to Management Company with the execution of this Agreement a Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit 6.3 hereto giving Management Company a collateral interest in all Receivables of UFC and PDE payable to UFC Shareholders. Management Company shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to take any and all necessary action to prevent financial losses, in the form of Cost of Services on behalf of UFC, to Management Company in the event UFC’s Cost of Services exceed UFC’s Revenues at any point during the Term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advances will be made by



		Page 18 of 35

Management Company to satisfy Physician-Employee draws, salaries or pension contributions, unless requested by UFC.

6.3.1 Any Advance hereunder shall be a debt owed to Management Company by UFC and shall be repaid in twelve equal installments plus accrued interest on the first day of each month following any Advance. To the extent PDE is available for distribution to Physicians for a particular month; Management Company is authorized to deduct any outstanding Advance from the PDE prior to distribution to the Physicians to pay any installment then due.

6.3.2 Interest expense will be charged on an Advance and will be computed at the Prime Rate charged by Management Company’s primary bank.

6.3.3 In addition to the Security Agreement provided for in Section 6.3, UFC agrees to enter into a Continuing General Limited Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit 6.3.3 with Management Company’s current bank, Bank of America, National Association in connection with assigning to Bank of America, the Receivables identified in Section 6.2 that are otherwise assigned to Management Company pursuant to the Security Agreement identified in Section 6.3.

Management Company agrees to invest sufficient capital to build, equip and supply appropriate office and laboratory space for UFC to conduct its medical practice at the Facilities. As an expression of Management Company’s commitment to the growth of UFC practice, Management Company agrees to maintain, during the term of this Agreement, an on-going investment in the Facilities and equipment, of an amount up to $500,000.00(“Capital Commitment”) without an interest charge. Any amount invested by Management Company in UFC’s medical Facilities in excess of $500,000.00 will be charged to UFC as a capital cost at an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate, plus two (2%) percent charged by Management Company’s primary bank.

6.4.3 Post-Opening Expenses. Management Company agrees that in addition to the Build-out Amount provided for in Section 6.4.1, Management Company will set aside $200,000.00, plus up to $50,000.00 for tax purposes, (“Operating Losses Commitment”) which will be made available to UFC to fund any operating deficit.
