          Section 6 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety
          as follows:

          "The loan and accrued interest will be with recourse to the Employee
          only until May 1, 2002 or at such earlier date if any of the following
          events occur, at which time the loan and accrued interest will be with
          recourse only to Employee's current ownership of 322,000 shares of
          InterDent Common Stock, Employee's 500,000 options to purchase
          InterDent Common Stock as granted in (3) above, and Employee's

          for any reason other than "cause", as defined in the Employment
          Agreement dated March 11, 1999; (ii) Employee's employment with the
          Company is terminated by Employee for "good reason", as defined in the
          Employment Agreement dated March 11, 1999, or for failure of the
          Company to make the required installments of the Loan as specified in
          this Section (6) which failure is another event under the definition
          of "good reason" in Section 8(d) of the Employment Agreement; (iii) a

          of non-payment); or (v) an event of Employee Disability occurs. For
          purposes hereof, "an event of Employee Disability" shall mean
