 THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 30, 2007, is by and among American Dental Partners, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), Metropolitan Dental Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the undersigned stockholders of the Company (the “Sellers”), and Metro Dentalcare,
PLC (“MDPLC”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in Article X below. 
 WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Sellers collectively own all of the issued and outstanding preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Preferred Stock”), and common stock of the
Company, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock” and together with the Preferred Stock, the “Stock”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company through one or more of its Subsidiaries provides management services to MDPLC; and 
 WHEREAS, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser desires to purchase all of the Stock held by the Sellers from the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell such Stock to the Purchaser. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and understandings herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 Securities Purchase; Closing 
 1.1 Stock Purchase. 
 (a) At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser shall purchase from each Seller, and each Seller shall sell,
convey, assign, transfer, and deliver to the Purchaser, all of the Stock held by such Seller as of immediately prior to the Closing, free and clear of any Liens. 
 (b) No later than two Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser (i) the Company’s good faith estimate of (A) the Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries
as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”), and (B) the Estimated Purchase Price, and (ii) a payment instructions letter setting forth the respective amounts, payees and wiring instructions relating to the
payment of the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness and the Seller Expenses (the “Payment Instructions Letter”). “Estimated Purchase Price” means (i) $85,000,000, plus (ii) the amount, if any, by which the
Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, minus (iii) the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, minus (iv) the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness as set forth in the
Payment Instructions Letter, minus (v) the Seller Expenses as set forth in the Payment Instructions Letter, plus (vi) the Aggregate Exercise Price. 









 1.2 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the
“Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 153 East 53rd Street, New York, NY 10022, at 10:00 A.M. on the 2nd Business Day after the satisfaction of the condition set forth in
Section 2.1(b), or on such other date and time as the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall mutually agree in writing. The date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date.” The effective time of the
Closing (the “Effective Time”) is 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. At the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions specified in Article II below: 
 (a) The Purchaser shall pay each Seller holding Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to the Closing, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate
Liquidation Value (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) of the Preferred Stock held by such Seller as of immediately prior to the Closing, plus (ii) the accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to
the Preferred Stock held by such Seller as of immediately prior to the Closing (the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.2(a), the “Aggregate Preferred Amount”), by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by such Seller in a written notice to Purchaser at least two Business Days prior to the Closing. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Seller Representative shall provide the Purchaser with a schedule setting
forth the amount to be paid to each Seller pursuant to this Section 1.2(a). 
 (b) The Purchaser shall pay each Seller an amount
equal to the product of (i) (A) (x) the Estimated Purchase Price, minus (y) the Aggregate Preferred Amount (such amount, the “Aggregate Common Amount”), multiplied by (B) such Seller’s Pro Rata Common
Share, minus (ii) such Seller’s Pro Rata Common Share of the Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Seller in a written notice to Purchaser at least two Business Days prior to the
Closing. 
 (c) The Company shall pay each Person holding Options as of immediately prior to the Closing, an amount equal to the product of
(i) (A) the Aggregate Common Amount, multiplied by (B) such Person’s Pro Rata Option Share, minus (ii) the aggregate exercise price that would be paid to the Company in respect of the Options held by such Person as of
immediately prior to the Closing, had such Options been exercised in full (and assuming payment in full of the exercise price of such Options solely in cash) immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the applicable option
agreement with the Company pursuant to which such Options were issued, minus (iii) such Person’s Pro Rata Option Share of the Escrow Amount, minus (iv) any applicable withholding taxes, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account designated by such Person in a written notice to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the Closing. Upon the making of such payments, the Options shall be cancelled and shall have no further force or effect, except the
holders of Options shall continue to have the right to receive the additional payments expressly provided for herein. The aggregate amount payable to Persons holding Options under this Section 1.2(c) shall be paid by the Purchaser to the
Company. 
 (d) The Purchaser, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness
and the Seller Expenses in the amounts and in accordance with the instructions provided in the Payment Instructions Letter.

 (e) The Purchaser shall deliver $6,375,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) to the Escrow Agent as
a contribution to the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and shall be disbursed solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement. 
 (f) Each Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser certificate(s) representing such Seller’s Stock which is being purchased
hereunder, free and clear of all Liens, duly endorsed in blank for transfer or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank. 
 (g) The
closing certificates and other documents and agreements required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Closing will be exchanged. 
 (h) The Company’s Subsidiary, Metropolitan Dental Management, Inc. (“MDMI”) and MDPLC and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall terminate their existing service agreements and execute and deliver
the Service Agreement. 
 1.3 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. The Estimated Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment
following the Closing as follows: 
 (a) If the Working Capital of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date prior to giving
effect to the transactions contemplated hereby (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.3, the “Closing Working Capital”) exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, the Estimated Purchase Price will be increased by an
amount equal to such excess. 
 (b) If the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, the Estimated Purchase Price will
be decreased by an amount equal to such excess. 
 (c) 
 (i) In the event of an increase to the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.3(a), the Purchaser will have the obligation
to pay the amount of such increase, in immediately available funds to the Sellers and the Optionholders, with each Seller and Optionholder receiving its Pro Rata Share of such increase. 
 (ii) In the event of a reduction to the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.3(b), the Sellers will have the obligation
to pay the amount of such reduction in immediately available funds to the Purchaser; provided that the Sellers’ obligations will first be satisfied from the Escrow Fund (to the extent funds from the Escrow Fund are sufficient); provided further
that, to the extent the funds from the Escrow Fund are not sufficient, each Seller shall be responsible only for its Pro Rata Indemnity Share of any remaining amount payable. 
 (iii) Any amount to be paid pursuant to this Section 1.3 will be paid within five business days of the Closing Balance Sheet being deemed
final pursuant to Section 1.3(e) or (f) and will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes. 
  

 - 3 - 








 (d) As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the Closing Date, the
Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative, (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same
accounting principles and methodologies used in the preparation of the Most Recent Balance Sheet (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), and (ii) a written calculation of the Closing Working Capital, as determined by reference to the
relevant provisions of this Agreement and the Closing Balance Sheet and in accordance with the calculation set forth on Annex A. 
 (e) The Purchaser shall permit and cause the Seller Representative and its representatives to have full access to the books, records and other documents (including work papers) pertaining to or used in connection with preparation of the
Closing Working Capital and the Closing Balance Sheet and provide the Seller Representative with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by the Seller Representative). The Seller Representative and its accountants may make inquiries of the
Purchaser, the Company and their respective employees, accountants and representatives regarding questions concerning the Closing Working Capital and the Closing Balance Sheet arising in the course of their review thereof, and the Purchaser and the
Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause any such employees, accountants and representatives to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. On or prior to the 45th day after the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Closing
Working Capital and the Closing Balance Sheet, the Seller Representative may give the Purchaser a written notice stating in reasonable detail its objections (an “Objection Notice”) to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital
and/or the Closing Balance Sheet. Any Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of any objection and the basis therefor. Any determination expressly set forth in the Closing Working Capital or on the Closing Balance Sheet
which is not specifically objected to in an Objection Notice shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties hereto. Except to the extent the Seller Representative makes an objection to a specific determination set forth in the Closing Working
Capital or on the Closing Balance Sheet pursuant to an Objection Notice delivered to the Purchaser within such 45-day period, the Closing Working Capital and Closing Balance Sheet will be final and binding upon the parties hereto. 
 (f) If the Seller Representative gives a timely Objection Notice as described in Section 1.3(e) above, then the Purchaser and the Seller
Representative will negotiate in good faith to resolve their disputes regarding the Closing Working Capital or the Closing Balance Sheet. If the Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve all disputes regarding the Closing Working
Capital or the Closing Balance Sheet on or prior to the 30th day after the delivery of the Objection Notice, then the Purchaser and the Seller Representative will retain such independent accounting firm as may be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the
Seller Representative (in either case, the “Independent Accounting Firm”), and shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve the dispute as soon as practicable, and in any event within 30 days, and the Purchaser and the
Seller Representative and their respective agents shall cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm during its engagement. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties (the “Disputed
Items”), solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less
than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Accounting Firm’s 

  

 - 4 - 








 
determination shall be based solely on presentations by the Purchaser and the Seller Representative (i.e., not on independent review) and on the
definitions and other terms included herein. The Closing Working Capital and the Closing Balance Sheet as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm will, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties hereto and will constitute the
Closing Working Capital and the Closing Balance Sheet for all purposes of this Section 1.3. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with its review of the Closing Working Capital and Closing Balance Sheet
shall be paid one-half by the Purchaser and one-half by the Sellers; provided that the Sellers’ obligations will first be satisfied from the Escrow Fund (to the extent funds from the Escrow Fund are sufficient); provided further that, to the
extent the funds from the Escrow Fund are not sufficient, each Seller shall be responsible only for its Pro Rata Indemnity Share of any remaining amount payable. The Purchaser and the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) agree to execute, if
requested by the Independent Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnification provisions in favor of the Independent Accounting Firm. 
 1.4 Earnout. As additional consideration for the Stock and Options held by the Sellers and the Optionholders, such Persons shall be entitled to certain contingent earnout payments as described in
Schedule 1.4.

 (v) to the extent such Loss consists of consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, and in valuing a Loss, no adjustment shall

respect to a particular indemnifiable Loss which is otherwise indemnifiable by the Sellers hereunder (and not by a single Seller as described in clause (iii) below), each Seller shall only be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties up to the amount of such indemnifiable Loss multiplied by such Seller’s Pro Rata Indemnity Share, (ii) to the extent the aggregate amount of Losses which are otherwise indemnifiable by the Sellers hereunder (and not by a single

related thereto (and to the extent any portion of the Escrow Fund is used pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2(g) below to satisfy indemnification for which a particular Seller is entirely responsible for pursuant to this
Section 8.2(e), such Seller shall promptly pay each other Seller the portion of the aggregate amount of the Escrow Fund so used which each other Seller would have otherwise received when such aggregate amount was released), and

effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to an account designated in writing by the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, within
15 days after the determination thereof; provided, however, that any indemnification owed by the Sellers to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall first be satisfied out of the Escrow Fund to the extent any funds remain in escrow.

 (ii) Any funds remaining in the Escrow Fund as of the 15 month anniversary of the Closing Date minus the aggregate amount
claimed in good faith by Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to claims made and not fully resolved prior to such date (minus any amount which the Seller Representative requires to pay unpaid Seller Expenses on behalf of the Sellers, which amount
shall be released directly to the Seller Representative for such purpose, and such release shall not be applied to the Seller Representative’s Pro Rata Share of any remaining amount released to the Sellers) shall be released to the Sellers in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. At any time following the 15 month anniversary of the Closing Date, to the extent the funds held in the Escrow Fund exceed the aggregate amount claimed in good faith by Purchaser Indemnified Parties
pursuant to claims made prior to such 15 month anniversary of the Closing Date and not fully resolved prior to the time of determination, the excess funds shall be promptly released to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares
(minus any amount which the Seller Representative requires to pay unpaid Seller Expenses on behalf of the Sellers, which amount shall be released directly to the Seller Representative for such purpose, and such release shall not be applied to the

accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (iv) Funds in the Escrow Fund shall be released to the Purchaser to
reimburse the Purchaser for any payment made after the Closing and prior to January 1, 2009, with respect to the unrecorded liabilities set forth on Schedule 3.21 relating to obligations contingent on the continued employment of individuals
identified in such schedule (to the extent such payment is required to be paid prior to January 1, 2009 in accordance with such obligations as in effect as of the Closing Date). 
  

 - 34 - 








 (v) The Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall promptly execute and deliver the
necessary documents instructing the Escrow Agent to make any payment required to be made from the Escrow Fund as set forth in this Agreement.

the basis thereof and including a copy of any notice or document received from any third party relating to such Proceeding; provided, that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder
unless and to the extent the Indemnitor shall be actually prejudiced by such failure to so notify. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Proceeding giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at
such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof under a reservation of rights by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to
be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided, that the Indemnitor shall continue to be entitled to assert any defense to such claim or limitation on indemnity contained herein with respect to such claim; provided further,
that: 
 (i) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice
for such purpose; provided, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee (other than any reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnitor
effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnitor); 
 (ii)
if the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Proceeding
or ceasing to defend such Proceeding if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the
Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, with prejudice; and 
 (iii) If the Indemnitor is
not entitled to, or does not, assume control of the defense of any Proceeding pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 8.2(h), the Indemnitee shall control such defense without waiving any right that the Indemnitee may have
against the Indemnitor for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.2. The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Proceeding and to employ at its expense counsel of its choice for such purpose. The Indemnitee
shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitor before entering into any settlement of a Proceeding or ceasing to defend such Proceeding, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
  

 - 35 - 








 (i) Recoveries; Limit on Damages. The amount of any Loss suffered by an Indemnitee under this
Agreement will be reduced by (i) the amount, if any, of the cash recovery (net of reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or benefit) that the Indemnitee will have received with respect thereto from any other Person or under any
insurance policies or from other collateral sources (and Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover such Loss from other Persons or under insurance policies to the extent such Indemnitees believe in good faith that such
recovery is available); and if such a recovery is received or enjoyed by an Indemnitee after it receives payment or other credit under this Agreement with respect to a Loss, then a refund equal in aggregate amount of the recovery, net of reasonable
expenses and other costs incurred in obtaining recovery, will be made promptly to the Indemnitor, and (ii) any Tax benefits realizable with respect to such Loss; 
 (j) Purchase Price Adjustment Treatment. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

and the Company will, and will cause the Company’s Subsidiaries to, deliver and pay over, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Tax refunds to the Sellers and the Optionholders according to their Pro Rata Share. The Purchaser
and the Company will, and will cause the Company’s Subsidiaries to, execute such documents, take reasonable additional actions and otherwise reasonably cooperate as may be necessary for the Purchaser, the Company and their Affiliates and

 Schedule 1.4 
 Earnout 
  

	1.	Earnout Payment. If 2007 EBITDA exceeds $8,500,000, the Purchaser shall pay (a) each Seller an amount in cash equal to (i) such Seller’s Pro Rata Common Share,
multiplied by (ii) the Additional Consideration, and (b) each Optionholder an amount equal to (x) such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Option Share, multiplied by (y) the Additional Consideration, in each case by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by such Seller or Optionholder. Any such payment required by this Section 1 shall be made within 5 days of the final determination of Adjusted EBITDA pursuant to Section 2
below, unless Additional Consideration equals $10,000,000 pursuant to the application of clauses (x) or (y) of the definition of Additional Consideration, in which case such payment shall be due upon consummation of the Sale of the Company
or within 5 days of the applicable termination of employment, as the case may be. 

  

	2.	Determination of Adjusted EBITDA. 

  

	 	(a)	As soon as reasonably practicable after December 31, 2007, and in any event within sixty (60) days of such date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative,
(i) a consolidated income statement for the Company and its Subsidiaries for the five month period ended December 31, 2007, and (ii) a statement setting forth the Purchaser’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA (such statements,
collectively the “Earnout Statements”). The statement described in clause (i) above shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting principles and methodologies used in the preparation of the income
statement for the seven month period ended July 31, 2007 included in the Financial Statements. The statement described in clause (ii) above shall be prepared (x) by reference to the statement described in clause (i) above,
(y) in accordance with GAAP, using the same accounting principles and methodologies used in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the seven month period ended July 31, 2007 as set forth on Annex A hereto, and (z) in
accordance with and by reference to the relevant provisions of this Schedule 1.4. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Purchaser shall permit and cause the Seller Representative and its representatives to have full access to the books, records and other documents (including work
papers) pertaining to or used in connection with preparation of the Earnout Statements and provide the Seller Representative with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by the Seller Representative). The Seller Representative and its accountants
may make inquiries of the Purchaser, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, MDPLC and their respective employees, accountants and representatives regarding questions concerning the Earnout Statements arising in the course of their review
thereof, and the Purchaser and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause any such employees, accountants and representatives to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. On or prior to the 45th day after the Seller
Representative’s receipt of the Earnout Statements, 













	 	 
the Seller Representative may give the Purchaser a written notice stating in reasonable detail its objections (an “Objection Notice”) to the
Earnout Statements. Any Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of any objection and the basis therefor. Any determination expressly set forth in the Earnout Statements which is not specifically objected to in an
Objection Notice shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties hereto. Except to the extent the Seller Representative makes an objection to a specific determination set forth in the Earnout Statements pursuant to an Objection Notice delivered
to the Purchaser within such 45-day period, the Earnout Statements will be final and binding upon the parties hereto. 


  

	 	(c)	If the Seller Representative gives a timely Objection Notice as described in clause (b) above, then the Purchaser and the Seller Representative will negotiate in good faith to
resolve their disputes regarding the Earnout Statements. If the Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve all disputes regarding the Earnout Statements on or prior to the 30th day after the delivery of the Objection Notice, then
the Purchaser and the Seller Representative will retain such independent accounting firm as may be agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller Representative (in either case, the “Independent Accounting Firm”), and shall instruct
the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve the dispute as soon as practicable, and in any event within 30 days, and the Purchaser and the Seller Representative and their respective agents shall cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm during
its engagement. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties (the “Disputed Items”), solely in accordance with the terms of this Schedule 1.4. In resolving
any Disputed Item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent
Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on presentations by the Purchaser and the Seller Representative (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included herein. The Earnout Statements (including
the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA) as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm will, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties hereto and will constitute the Earnout Statements (and the Adjusted EBITDA) for all purposes of
this Schedule 1.4. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid one-half by the Purchaser and one-half by the Sellers; provided that the Sellers’ obligations will first be satisfied from the Escrow Fund (to the
extent funds from the Escrow Fund are sufficient); provided further that, to the extent the funds from the Escrow Fund are not sufficient, each Seller shall be responsible only for its Pro Rata Indemnity Share of any remaining amount payable. The
Purchaser and the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers) agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnification provisions in favor of the Independent Accounting
Firm. 











	3.	Covenants of the Purchaser and the Company. 

  

	 	(a)	From and after the Closing Date through December 31, 2007, the Purchaser and the Company shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to operate their business in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practices. 

  

	 	(b)	The Purchaser and the Company shall not take any action or permit any of the Company’s Subsidiaries to take any action, in either case intended to reduce Adjusted EBITDA for
the purpose of reducing the Additional Consideration. 

  

	4.	Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meaning set forth in this Section 4. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings given to such terms in Stock Purchase Agreement. 

  

	 	(a)	“2007 EBITDA” means (i) $5,718,956, plus (ii) the Adjusted EBITDA. 

  

	 	(b)	“Additional Consideration” means an amount equal to (i) 2007 EBITDA, minus $8,500,000, multiplied by (ii) 10; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing,
(x) in the event prior to December 31, 2007, either Dr. Marcus Gustafson’s or Dr. David Milbrath’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated without Cause (as defined in such Person’s
employment agreement with the Company and its Subsidiaries) or either such Person is assigned duties and responsibilities which are materially inconsistent with their positions as Chief Professional Officer and Chairman, respectively, Additional
Consideration shall be $10,000,000, (y) in the event a Sale of the Company is consummated prior to December 31, 2007, Additional Consideration shall be $10,000,000, and (z) if Additional Consideration would otherwise exceed
$10,000,000, Additional Consideration shall equal $10,000,000. 

  

	 	(c)	 “Adjusted EBITDA” means, for the five month period ended December 31, 2007, the consolidated net income of the Company and its Subsidiaries
for such period, (A) plus, without duplication and to the extent deducted in determining such consolidated net income, (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization, (v) management fees

of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) Seller Expenses, and (z) payments made to Dr. Milbrath and Dr. Gustafson in connection with the termination of their amended and restated employment agreements dated May 25, 2006,
(viii) extraordinary losses (including losses related to the sale of assets, other than the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business), (ix) expenses incurred with respect to any acquisition of the stock or assets of any other














	 	 
Person (such as the acquisition of an existing dental clinic), and expenses incurred in connection with the planning, construction or opening of a new dental
clinic, and (x) severance and severance benefits paid or payable to Robert Sponsel or any employee of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries whose employment is terminated following the Closing, and (B) minus, without duplication and to the
extent added in determining such consolidated net income, extraordinary gains (including gains related to the sale of assets, other than the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business); provided that to the extent any of the following
clinics owned by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: Stillwater, Chanhassen Ortho, Maple Grove Ortho, Shakopee, Elk River and Eagan, individually, have a negative impact on Adjusted EBITDA, such negative impact shall be added back to Adjusted
EBITDA; provided further that to the extent that cost reductions (including, without limitation, cessation of payments by MDMI to Drs. Fondell and Lombardo) implemented by Purchaser after the Closing or new terms with third party payors implemented
after the Closing by MMDI have a positive impact on Adjusted EBITDA, such positive impact shall be subtracted from Adjusted EBITDA. 


  

	 	(d)	“Sale of the Company” means the first to occur of (i) a transaction or series of transactions (including by way of merger, consolidation, or sale of equity)
the result of which is that any Person, together with such Person’s Affiliates, owns more than 50% of the voting stock of the Purchaser (on a fully diluted as if converted basis), (ii) a transaction or series of transactions (including by

one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets determined on a consolidated basis; provided, that a merger, consolidation or other reorganization involving only the Purchaser and/or its

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding any provisions of this Schedule to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, all financial statement terms and provisions and calculations shall be calculated or
otherwise determined on a consolidated basis including the Company and its Subsidiaries and Provider.

powers, and duties of the predecessor escrow agent as if originally named as escrow agent. Upon acceptance by such successor, Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.
