MEMBER SERVICES; MARGIN ALLOCATION

Section 2.1 As a Practice Purchase Member, Provider is entitled to participate, at Provider’s sole discretion, in all member services offered by the Cooperative to members in good standing. Member services may include:

(a) group marketing services such as, but not limited to: group contracts, dental plans, direct marketing, referral, media and credit services;

(b) opportunities to participate in centralized dental supplies and equipment, lab services and other purchasing programs;

(c)

quality assurance and continuing education programs;

(d) opportunities to participate in group insurance pools for health, disability, death and other applicable insurance; and

(e)

opportunities to participate in group incentive and bonus programs.

Dental Cooperative reserves the right to change, modify or terminate any or all of the member services at any time.

Section 2.2 Margin Allocation. In consideration for Provider’s services in managing the practice and the provision of dental services to the practice’s customers, Provider will retain the Dentist’s Margin Allocation each calendar month during the term of this Agreement which amount shall be paid to Dentist(s). The remaining portion of the monthly Margin shall be transferred to Dental Cooperative as payment of the Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation in the manner agreed under Section 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the monthly amount transferred by Provider to Dental Cooperative pursuant to this Section 2.2 be calculated at a Margin amount that is less than the Minimum Margin calculated on 1/12 of the annual Base Collections. For example, if Collections were $1,000,000 and operating expenses were $650,000, the Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation would be calculated using a Margin of $400,000 (the Minimum Margin in this example).

At the end of each calendar quarter, Dental Cooperative will compare actual Collections during the just concluded three (3) month period compared to actual Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation and other amounts transferred. If the total amount of Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation and other amounts transferred to Dental Cooperative in the just concluded quarter is less than the Dental Cooperative Margin Allocations, as may be adjusted as per the prior paragraph, an adjustment payment from Provider will be due by the 15^th of the month following the end of the quarter in question. If the total of Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation, as may be adjusted as per the prior paragraph, transferred to Dental Cooperative in the just concluded calendar quarter is more than as agreed for the same quarter, Dental Cooperative shall account for the adjustment by applying a credit to the next quarter’s Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation, as may be adjusted as per the prior paragraph.

A 5% late fee shall be assessed for any Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation, as may be adjusted as per the first paragraph of this Section 2.2, that is not transferred within twenty (20) days of the due date. In addition, any Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation, as may be adjusted as per the first paragraph of this Section 2.2, amount that is unpaid for more than thirty (30) days after its due date shall bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum.

Section 2.3 Transfer of Retained Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation. Provider shall make necessary arrangements with Dental Cooperative and that are reasonably acceptable to Dental Cooperative and Lender to institute an automatic transfer mechanism to transfer the monthly Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation and other amounts payable by Provider to Dental Cooperative, if any, for the immediately prior month from Provider’s bank account to Dental Cooperative on or before the twentieth (20^th) day of each month unless otherwise expressly agreed with Dental Cooperative. During the term of this Agreement, the amount of the Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation to be transferred to Dental Cooperative, will be reduced by an amount equal to the monthly payments due by Provider to Lender under the Loan.

Section 2.4 Deposit of Final Month’s Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation. At Closing, Provider shall deposit with Dental Cooperative an amount of cash equal to the estimated Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation for one month, which shall be applied by Dental Cooperative to the final month’s total Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation due under this Article 2.

Section 2.5 The Operative Documents. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Provider, Dental Cooperative and the Dentist(s) agree to and will execute the Operative Documents. Each of the Operative Documents is an integral part of the agreement described herein, and the effectiveness of each Operative Document is a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents. The Operative Documents include a Guaranty pursuant to which the Dentist(s) will guaranty to Dental Cooperative that Provider will comply with the undertakings of this Agreement, including transfer of the Dental Cooperative Margin Allocation and other amounts payable to Dental Cooperative under this Agreement, if any.

ARTICLE 3
