             ARTICLE III. ADJUSTMENT UPON CERTAIN CORPORATE CHANGES

3.1 Adjustments to Shares. The number of shares of OCA Common Stock subject to
an outstanding award of shares of OCA Common Stock granted to a Participant
under and pursuant to the Program shall be adjusted as the Committee (as defined
below) determines (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate, in the event that:

         (a) OCA or an Affiliate (as defined below) effects one or more stock
dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, subdivisions, consolidations or
other similar events;

         (b) OCA or an Affiliate engages in a transaction to which section 424
of the Code (as defined below) applies; or

         (c) there occurs any other event which in the judgment of the Committee
necessitates such action.

For purposes of the Program:

                  (i) "Affiliate" means a "parent corporation," as defined in
         section 424(e) of the Code, or "subsidiary corporation," as defined in
         section 424(f) of the Code, of OCA.

                  (ii) "Code" means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
         amended.

3.2 No Adjustment upon Certain Transactions. The issuance by OCA of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
for cash or property, or for labor or services rendered, either upon direct sale
or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of OCA convertible into such shares or other

                                       6
<PAGE>   8

securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, outstanding awards.

                     ARTICLE IV. LEGAL COMPLIANCE CONDITIONS

4.1 General. No OCA Common Stock shall be issued under the Program except in
compliance with all federal or state laws and regulations (including, without
limitation, withholding tax requirements), federal and state securities laws and
regulations and the rules of all securities exchanges or self-regulatory
organizations on which OCA's shares may be listed. OCA shall have the right to
rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any certificate issued
to evidence shares of OCA Common Stock granted under the Program may bear such
legends and statements as the Committee upon advice of counsel may deem
advisable to assure compliance with federal or state laws and regulations. No
OCA Common Stock shall be issued and no certificate for shares shall be
delivered until OCA has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee may
deem advisable from any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.

4.2 Representations by Participants. As a condition to the issuance of OCA
Common Stock, OCA may require a Participant to represent and warrant at the time
of grant that the Participant does not have a present intention to sell or
distribute such shares. At the option of OCA, a stop transfer order against any
shares of stock may be placed on the official stock books and records of OCA,
and a legend indicating that the stock may not be pledged, sold or otherwise
transferred unless an opinion of counsel was provided (concurred in by counsel
for OCA) and stating that such transfer is not in violation of any applicable
law or regulation may be stamped on the stock certificate in order to assure
exemption from registration. The Committee may also require such other action or
agreement by the Participants as may from time to time be necessary to comply
with federal or state securities laws. This provision shall not obligate OCA or
any Affiliate to undertake registration of stock hereunder.

                     ARTICLE V. ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

5.1 Administrative Committee. The Program shall be administered by a committee
composed of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of OCA and
any other officer of OCA appointed to such committee by the chief executive
officer of OCA (the "Committee"). The express grant in the Program of any
specific power to the Committee shall not be construed as limiting any power or
authority of the Committee. Any decision made or action taken by the Committee
to administer the Program shall be final and conclusive. No member of the
Committee shall be liable for any act done in good faith with respect to the
Program or any Participation Agreement. In addition to all other authority
vested with the Committee under the Program, the Committee shall have complete

<PAGE>   9

limited to, whether or not Participants have achieved the standards of financial
performance required to receive awards of OCA Common Stock. The Committee shall
make such determinations by reference to any data and information that it deems
appropriate and, to the extent that such information that is provided by a
Participant is not otherwise subject to disclosure, shall employ reasonable
measures that are designed to keep such information confidential.

5.3 Amendment. OCA may amend or terminate the Program at any time; provided,
however, an amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights of
a Participant under an outstanding award of OCA Common Stock is not valid
without the Participant's consent.

                         ARTICLE VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Unfunded Program. The Program shall be unfunded, and OCA shall not be
required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants
under the Program. Any liability of OCA to any person with respect to any grant
under the Program shall be based solely upon contractual obligations that may be
created hereunder. No such obligation of OCA shall be deemed to be secured by
any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of OCA.

6.2 Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the articles and sections of
the Program solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The masculine
gender when used herein refers to both masculine and feminine. The reference to

                               ARTICLE II. AWARDS

         Eligible Participants will be awarded shares of OCA Common Stock under
either Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof, or a promissory note as provided in Section
2.3 hereof, as applicable, subject to the terms of the Program (collectively,
"Awards"):

2.1 Awards for Entering into New OCA Business Services Agreement. An eligible
Participant who, along with his or her respective OrthAlliance Affiliated PC,
executes and delivers to OCA an OCA Business Services Agreement prior to the
effective time of the Merger will be granted (subject to Section 2.3 and the
other terms and conditions of the Program) a number of shares of OCA Common
Stock calculated under the following terms:

         (a) 70% Increase in Service Fees. If, during the 12 calendar months
immediately preceding the third anniversary of the effective date of the Merger,
the Participant achieves the 70% Increase In Year 3 Service Fees (as defined
below), then the number of shares of OCA Common Stock granted under this Section
2.1 shall be equal to the result (rounded to the nearest whole number) of the
following:

                  (x)      3,

                           TIMES

                  (y)      70% of the amount of the Prior 12 Months Assumed
                           Service Fees (as defined below), with respect to such
                           Participant,

                           DIVIDED BY

                  (z)      The average closing price per share of OCA Common
                           Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or
                           other stock exchange or market on which shares of OCA
                           Common Stock are then principally traded) during THE
                           10 trading days immediately preceding the third
                           anniversary of the effective date of the Merger.

For purposes of the Program:

         "70% Increase in Year 3 Service Fees" means that the amount of Year 3
Service Fees (as defined below) is at least 70% greater than the amount of the
Prior 12 Months Assumed Service Fees, with respect to the applicable
Participant.

         "Prior 12 Months Assumed Service Fees" means the amount of service or
consulting fees (excluding any amounts reimbursed, paid, earned or accrued with
respect to center expenses, operating and non-operating expenses incurred in the
operation of the applicable OrthAlliance Affiliated Practice or other expenses)
that would have been payable to OCA, its subsidiary or OrthAlliance, as
applicable, by the OrthAlliance Affiliated Practitioner or his or her
OrthAlliance Affiliated PC under the OCA Business Services Agreement during and
with respect to the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the effective date
of the Merger (assuming that the OCA Business Services Agreement had been in
effect during that period and also assuming that the operating margin of the
OrthAlliance Affiliated Practice during that period was 5% higher than the
actual operating margin for that period).

         "Year 3 Service Fees" means the service or consulting fees (excluding
any amounts reimbursed, paid, earned or accrued with respect to center expenses,
operating and non-operating expenses incurred in the operation of the applicable
OrthAlliance Affiliated Practice or other

                                       4
<PAGE>   6
expenses) paid to OCA or its subsidiary by the applicable OrthAlliance
Affiliated Practitioner or his or her OrthAlliance Affiliated PC under the
applicable OCA Business Services Agreement during and with respect to the 12
calendar months immediately preceding the third anniversary of the effective
date of the Merger.

         (b) Pro Rata Amount. However, if a Participant does not achieve the
70% Increase In Year 3 Service Fees, but the amount of such Participant's Year 3
Service Fees is at least equal to the amount of such Participant's Prior 12
Months Assumed Service Fees, then the number of shares of OCA Common Stock
awarded under this Section 2.1 (subject to Section 2.3 and the other terms and
conditions of the Program) shall be a pro rata amount (rounded to the nearest
whole number) calculated by multiplying the number of shares of OCA Common Stock
that would have been awarded under subsection (a) of this Section 2.1, times a
fraction, the numerator of which is the percentage by which such Year 3 Service
Fees exceed such Prior 12 Months Assumed Service Fees, and the denominator of
which is 70%.

         (c) Not Eligible Under Both Sections. If a Participant enters into the
Amendments, and also or subsequently enters into an OCA Business Services
Agreement, he or she would only be eligible for Awards under this Section 2.1
(and not Section 2.2).

2.2 Awards for Entering into Amendments. An eligible Participant who, along with
his or her respective OrthAlliance Affiliated PC, executes and delivers to OCA
their Amendments prior to the effective time of the Merger will be granted
(subject to Section 2.3 and the other terms and conditions of the Program) a
number of shares of OCA Common Stock calculated under the following terms:

         (a) 70% Increase in Service Fees. If, during the 12 calendar months
immediately preceding the third anniversary of the effective date of the Merger,
the Participant achieves the 70% Increase In Year 3 Service Fees Under
Amendments (as defined below), then the number of shares of OCA Common Stock
granted under this Section 2.2 shall be equal to the result (rounded to the
nearest whole number) of the following:

                  (x)      3,

                           TIMES

                  (y)      70% of the amount of the Prior 12 Months Service Fees
                           (as defined below), with respect to such Participant,

                           DIVIDED BY

                  (z)      The average closing price per share of OCA Common
                           Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or
                           other stock exchange or market on which shares of OCA
                           Common Stock are then principally traded) during THE
                           10 trading days immediately preceding the third
                           anniversary of the effective date of the Merger.

For purposes of the Program:

         "70% Increase in Year 3 Service Fees Under Amendments" means that the
amount of Year 3 Service Fees Under Amendments (as defined below) is at least
70% greater than the amount of the Prior 12 Months Service Fees, with respect to
the applicable Participant.

                                       5
<PAGE>   7
         "Prior 12 Months Service Fees" means the amount of service or
consulting fees (excluding any amounts reimbursed, paid, earned or accrued with
respect to center expenses, operating and non-operating expenses incurred in the
operation of the applicable OrthAlliance Affiliated Practice or other expenses)
paid to OrthAlliance or its subsidiary by the OrthAlliance Affiliated
Practitioner or his or her OrthAlliance Affiliated PC under the applicable
OrthAlliance Service/Consulting Agreement during and with respect to the 12
calendar months immediately preceding the effective date of the Merger.

         "Year 3 Service Fees Under Amendments" means the service or consulting
fees (excluding any amounts reimbursed, paid, earned or accrued with respect to
center expenses, operating and non-operating expenses incurred in the operation
of the applicable OrthAlliance Affiliated Practice or other expenses) paid to
OCA or its subsidiary by the applicable OrthAlliance Affiliated Practitioner or
his or her OrthAlliance Affiliated PC under the applicable OrthAlliance Service
or Consulting Agreement during and with respect to the 12 calendar months
immediately preceding the third anniversary of the effective date of the Merger.

         (b) Pro Rata Amount. However, if a Participant does not achieve the 70%
Increase In Year 3 Service Fees Under Amendments, but the amount of such
Participant's Year 3 Service Fees Under Amendments is at least equal to the
amount of such Participant's Prior 12 Months Service Fees, then the number of
shares of OCA Common Stock awarded under this Section 2.2 (subject to Section
2.3 and the other terms and conditions of the Program) shall be a pro rata
amount (rounded to the nearest whole number) calculated by multiplying the
number of shares of OCA Common Stock that would have been awarded under
subsection (a) of this Section 2.2, times a fraction, the numerator of which is
the percentage by which such Year 3 Service Fees Under Amendments exceed such
Prior 12 Months Service Fees, and the denominator of which is 70%.

2.3 Substitution of Promissory Note. Notwithstanding any provision herein
regarding the issuance of OCA Common Stock, OCA may, in its sole discretion,
elect to issue the eligible Participant a non-transferable, non-negotiable
promissory note (each, a "Promissory Note") in lieu of shares of OCA Common
Stock that would otherwise be awarded pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof.
Such Promissory Note shall be payable in equal annual installments over a period
of five years commencing on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the
Merger, and shall bear interest at the prime rate (as reported in the Wall
Street Journal) on the effective date of the Merger plus 1.5% per annum;
provided, however, that payment of each such annual installment of principal and
interest under the Promissory Note shall be subject to and conditioned upon the
prior satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 2.5 hereof over the
term of the Promissory Note (on the same basis as Award of shares of OCA Common
Stock, except that a five year payment period shall apply).

2.4 Pro Rata Basis for Practices with Multiple Owners. If a Participant's
OrthAlliance Affiliated PC is partially owned by one or more other OrthAlliance
Affiliated Practitioners, then the value of the Award granted pursuant to
Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof (or under a Promissory Note pursuant to Section 2.3
hereof) for such Participant shall be calculated by multiplying the total value
of the Award that would otherwise be granted to such person pursuant to such
Section 2.1 or 2.2 by his or her percentage of equity ownership of such
OrthAlliance Affiliated PC.

2.5 Timing and Conditions of Grants. Shares of OCA Common Stock awarded under
the Program shall be issuable to Participants in four annual installments, as
follows:

         (a) For each Participant, one-fourth of the total number of shares of
OCA Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) to be issued to such
Participant under the Program will be issued to such Participant following each
of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth anniversaries of the effective date of
the Merger if the amount of service or consulting fees (excluding any amounts
reimbursed, paid, earned or accrued with respect to center expenses, operating
and non-operating

                                       6
<PAGE>   8

expenses incurred in the operation of the applicable OrthAlliance Affiliated
Practice or other expenses) paid to OCA or its subsidiary by the Participant
and/or his or her OrthAlliance Affiliated PC during and with respect to the 12
calendar months immediately preceding that particular anniversary pursuant to
the applicable OCA Business Services Agreement or OrthAlliance
Service/Consulting Agreement ("Service Fees") is at least 90% (the "90% Minimum
Target") of the amount of Service Fees such Participant and/or OrthAlliance
Affiliated PC paid to OrthAlliance or its subsidiary during and with respect to
the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the Merger.

         (b) However, if the 90% Minimum Target is not achieved in the 12
calendar month period immediately preceding the fifth, sixth or seventh
anniversary of the effective date of the Merger (each, an "Earlier Period), but
is achieved during the 12 calendar month period immediately preceding the sixth,
seventh or eighth, as applicable, anniversary of the effective date of the
Merger (each, a "Later Period"), then the installment of shares of OCA Common
Stock issuable with respect to such Earlier Period will be issued following such
Later Period.

2.6 Only Whole Shares. Only whole shares of OCA Common Stock will be issued or
awarded under the Program; no fractional shares shall be issued.

             ARTICLE III. ADJUSTMENT UPON CERTAIN CORPORATE CHANGES

3.1 Adjustments to Shares. The number of shares of OCA Common Stock subject to
an outstanding award of shares of OCA Common Stock granted to a Participant
under and pursuant to the Program shall be adjusted as the Committee (as defined
below) determines (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate, in the event that:

         (a) OCA or an Affiliate (as defined below) effects one or more stock
dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, subdivisions, consolidations or
other similar events;

         (b) OCA or an Affiliate engages in a transaction to which section 424
of the Code (as defined below) applies; or

         (c) there occurs any other event which in the judgment of the Committee
necessitates such action.

For purposes of the Program:

                  (i) "Affiliate" means a "parent corporation," as defined in
         section 424(e) of the Code, or "subsidiary corporation," as defined in
         section 424(f) of the Code, of OCA.

                  (ii) "Code" means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
         amended.

3.2 No Adjustment upon Certain Transactions. The issuance by OCA of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
for cash or property, or for labor or services rendered, either upon direct sale
or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of OCA convertible into such shares or other
securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, outstanding Awards.

                     ARTICLE IV. LEGAL COMPLIANCE CONDITIONS

4.1 General. No OCA Common Stock shall be issued under the Program except in
compliance with all federal or state laws and regulations (including, without
limitation, withholding tax requirements), federal and state securities laws and
regulations and the rules of all securities

                                       7
<PAGE>   9

exchanges or self-regulatory organizations on which OCA's shares may be listed.
OCA shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such
compliance. Any certificate issued to evidence shares of OCA Common Stock
granted under the Program may bear such legends and statements as the Committee
upon advice of counsel may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal or
state laws and regulations. No OCA Common Stock shall be issued and no
certificate for shares shall be delivered until OCA has obtained such consent or
approval as the Committee may deem advisable from any regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction over such matters.

4.2 Representations by Participants. As a condition to the grant of an Award or
the issuance of OCA Common Stock, OCA may require a Participant to represent and
warrant at the time of grant that the Participant does not have a present
intention to sell or distribute such shares. At the option of OCA, a stop
transfer order against any shares of stock may be placed on the official stock
books and records of OCA, and a legend indicating that the stock may not be
pledged, sold or otherwise transferred unless an opinion of counsel was provided
(concurred in by counsel for OCA) and stating that such transfer is not in
violation of any applicable law or regulation may be stamped on the stock
certificate in order to assure exemption from registration. The Committee may
also require such other action or agreement by the Participants as may from time
to time be necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws. This
provision shall not obligate OCA or any Affiliate to undertake registration of
stock hereunder.

                     ARTICLE V. ADMINISTRATION AND AMENDMENT

5.1 Administrative Committee. The Program shall be administered by a committee
composed of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of OCA and
any other officer of OCA appointed to such committee by the chief executive
officer of OCA (the "Committee"). The express grant in the Program of any
specific power to the Committee shall not be construed as limiting any power or
authority of the Committee. Any decision made or action taken by the Committee
to administer the Program shall be final and conclusive. No member of the
Committee shall be liable for any act done in good faith with respect to the
Program or any Participation Agreement or Award. In addition to all other
authority vested with the Committee under the Program, the Committee shall have
complete authority to:

         (a) Interpret all provisions of the Program;

         (b) Prescribe the form of any Participation Agreement;

         (c) Make amendments to all Participation Agreements;

         (d) Adopt, amend, and rescind rules for Program administration; and

         (e) Make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration
of the Program.

5.2 Determination of Performance Standards. The authorities of the Committee
described in Section 5.1 include the full discretionary authority to make all
determinations regarding financial performance and related matters referenced in
the Program. Such matters include, but are not limited to, whether or not
Participants have achieved the standards of financial performance required to
receive Awards or payments thereunder. The Committee shall make such
determinations by reference to any data and information that it deems
appropriate and, to the extent that such information that is provided by a
Participant is not otherwise subject to disclosure, shall employ reasonable
measures that are designed to keep such information confidential.

5.3 Amendment. OCA may amend or terminate the Program at any time; provided,
however, an amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights of
a Participant under an outstanding Award is not valid with respect to such Award
without the Participant's consent.

                         ARTICLE VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Unfunded Program. The Program shall be unfunded, and OCA shall not be
required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants
under the Program. Any liability of OCA to any person with respect to any grant
under the Program shall be based solely upon contractual obligations that may be
created hereunder. No such obligation of OCA shall be deemed to be secured by
any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of OCA.

6.2 Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the articles and sections of
the Program solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The masculine
gender when used herein refers to both masculine and feminine. The reference to
any statute, regulation or other provision of law shall be construed to refer to
any amendment to or successor of such provision of law.

6.3 Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Louisiana (without regard
to the choice of law provisions of Louisiana) shall apply to all matters arising
under the Program, to the extent that federal law does not apply.

6.4 Federal Withholding Tax Requirements. To the extent that withholding is
required by law, at the time that any Award is granted or OCA Common Stock is
issued, the Participant shall, upon notification of the amount due, pay to OCA
amounts necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements or shall otherwise make arrangements satisfactory to OCA for such
requirements.
