NRMA and NCRS are hereinafter referred to as “NCRS”; and







Whereas, IntegraMed and SRM wish to amend the Agreement, in pertinent part, providing that IntegraMed’s exclusive right to provide the Services, as defined in the Agreement, now includes the medical practice the Physicians engaged in through NCRS and will continue to engage in through SRM and to reflect an additional right to service fee payment in connection with the Physicians joining SRM.
