5.    PROVIDER understands that, notwithstanding Paragraph 4 above, ECI may,

      agreements provide for third party payment of PROVIDER'S fees. With
      respect to such agreements, upon being notified of same by NVS, PROVIDER

      shall be used for prescriptions filled as a result of this examination.
