3.2 Group’s Rights and Obligations.

(a) Billing Matters. The parties recognize that many patients, referring clinicians and third party payors require or request the submission of a single claim for the technical and professional component of pathology and laboratory services, which typically are billed under the same CPT code with the appropriate modifier(s). To accommodate such requirements and requests, the parties believe that it is important to submit global claims for Group’s Professional Services and Lab’s technical component services. Therefore, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, Group’s Professional Services will be billed on a global basis with Lab’s technical component services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Group shall have the right to approve the fees to be charged for its Professional Services and all price negotiations with third party payors for its Professional Services.

(b) Assistance with Collections. Group shall provide Clarient with complete and accurate charge slips, claims or encounter reports specifically identifying services rendered, service and diagnosis codes in a form and substance as indicated by Clarient from time-to-time.

Group shall consistently and uniformly utilize the Governing Documents in the conduct of its business and shall comply with and require performance of all of the provisions contained in the Governing Documents. Group shall not revise, modify or terminate any of the Governing Documents, or enter into any new agreement or arrangement affecting the ownership or voting of Group’s equity securities or partnership interests (as applicable) without Clarient’s prior written approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Clarient’s approval be required for any hiring or termination of any physician or other professional personnel by Group, or any other issues related to medical decision-making processes or the practice of medicine by Group or any Group Physician.

ARTICLE IV.

COMPENSATION

4.1 Professional Services Fee. On or before the fifteenth (15th) business day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, Clarient shall pay Group a monthly fee equal to the aggregate of all estimated salary and benefit expenses and all other costs and expenses incurred by Group for the provision of Professional Services to Lab under this Agreement during the immediately preceding month, after presentment by Group to Lab of all available invoices or other documentation that set forth the amount, nature and purpose of such costs and expenses.

4.2 Management Fee. Clarient’s compensation for its management and administrative services under this Agreement shall be the difference between the actual collections received for the Professional Services and the Professional Services Fee paid to Group under Section 4.1 above.

4.3 Catch-Up and Waiver. To the extent that the actual payments to date under the Original PSA are less than should have been paid as determined pursuant to this Agreement (the “Deficiency”), (1) Clarient retroactively waives the right to any cost reimbursements previously requested from Group, and (2) if such waiver does not cover the entire Deficiency, Clarient will pay as soon as reasonably practical after computation of the Deficiency any remaining amount to Group. Clarient hereby expressly waives and agrees not to enforce Group’s obligation to pay any consideration to Clarient pursuant to the terms of the Original MSA.

4.4 Periodic Adjustments. Group and Clarient shall review the compensation structure set forth herein no less frequently than quarterly and may agree in writing to modify such compensation structure from time to time. Such review shall consider the scope of the operations and services provided pursuant to this Agreement at the time of the review, changes in the purchasing power of money and the expenses and risks to Group in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

4.5 Right of Offset. Group hereby expressly authorizes Clarient, at Clarient’s sole discretion, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, at any time and from time to time, to set off and/or withhold from Group’s compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement, any sum or sums necessary to satisfy all or any portion of any outstanding and delinquent obligation owed by Group to Clarient from any other financial arrangement Group may have with Lab, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or for any other services or space or equipment rental Lab, its subsidiaries or affiliates, may provide or have provided to Group. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this provision is intended to permit Clarient to apply any compensation payable to Group for Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement to any outstanding loan or rental obligations owed by Group to Clarient.

4.6 No Referrals. Nothing in this Agreement requires, and there are no understandings or arrangements between the Parties with respect to the recommendation, referral or any other arrangement for the provision of any item or service offered by the Parties or any of their respective affiliates, and no compensation or other benefits to Group under this Agreement require or are in any way contingent thereon.

4.7 Billing for Professional Services Performed at Lab; Global Billing.

Consequently, Group has, and shall have, no claims as a third-party beneficiary, or otherwise, for any compensation or other amounts from third-party payors. Group shall seek and obtain compensation for the performance of Professional Services only from Clarient pursuant to Section 4.1. Group shall not xxxx, assess or charge any fee, assessment or charge of any type against any other person or entity for Professional Services provided. Group and Group Physicians hereby assign to Lab all right, title and interest in any accounts receivable generated by the provision of Professional Services under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, Lab shall be the sole owner of the accounts receivable for any and all of the Professional Services performed under this Agreement.
