PRC Students set forth in Paragraph 5.a., above.

 

		c.	Compliance with Department of Education Restrictions
on Incentive Compensation -- Contractor agrees that it will not solicit or accept any commission, bonus, or other incentive payment
for any Prospective Student that that would violate the United States Department of Education’s prohibition on incentive
