copayments,

B.           Management

Base Management Fee.  For its services hereunder, which shall
include the provision of all necessary facilities and furniture, fixtures and
equipment and all non-physician employees of Manager who perform services for Group
and all management services provided hereunder, Manager shall be entitled to
receive (i) fifteen percent (15%) of Gross Revenues (the “Management Fee”)
plus (ii) a fee for marketing and public relations services in the amount
of four thousand dollars ($4,000) per month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Group’s
working capital is insufficient to meet Group’s liabilities or other
obligations to the extent necessary to meet such obligations, the Management Fee
provided for in item (i) above
shall be deferred until Group is able to meet all such obligations.  The Management Fee shall be reviewed on an
annual basis by Manager’s Board of Directors to ensure that it remains
consistent with the fair market value for the services rendered to Group by Manager.


 


Performance Incentive Bonus Payment.  If, at the end of Group’s fiscal year, it is
determined that Group has a Net Pre-Tax Profit for the year, Manager shall be
entitled to a performance incentive bonus payment consistent with the fair
market value of the services provided by Manager to Group (as determined on an
annual basis by the Board of Directors of Manager), but no more than fifty
percent (50%) of Net Pre-Tax Income in excess of eight percent (8%) of Net
Pre-Tax Profits.


 


Performance Incentive Penalty Payment.  If, at the end of Group’s fiscal year, it is
determined that Group has a Net Pre-Tax Loss for the year, Manager shall be
obligated to pay to Group (in the form of a reduction in 


 


2

















 


future
management fees) a penalty payment in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of one
hundred percent (100%) of such Net Pre-Tax Loss.”


 


2.             The
parties hereto expressly agree and acknowledge that the foregoing amended and
restated Exhibit C shall replace in its entirety the amended and restated Exhibit C
that was set forth in the First Amendment.


 


IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the day and year
first above written.
