Financial Arrangements

6.1 Compensation. The compensation set forth in this Article 6 is being paid to Management Company in consideration of the substantial commitment made, capital provided and services to be rendered by Management Company hereunder and is fair and reasonable. Management Company shall be paid the following amounts (collectively “Compensation”):

6.1.1 an amount reflecting all Cost of Services (whether incurred by Management Company or NCRM) paid or accrued by Management Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

6.1.2 during each year of this Agreement commencing with the Effective Date, a Base Service Fee, paid monthly but reconciled to annual Revenues, of an amount equal to six percent (6%) of NCRM’s Revenues.

6.1.3 commencing with the Effective Date, an additional service fee (“Additional Service Fee”) paid monthly but reconciled to Fiscal Year operating results of NCRM, equal to fifteen percent (15%) of PDE.

It is understood and agreed that the Additional Service Fee is paid to Management Company in the event NCRM achieves positive PDE. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to

Page 18 of 36

mean that if PDE is negative, Management Company makes a contribution to NCRM to cover any such operating losses.

6.2 Accounts Receivable.

6.2.1 On or before the 20th business day of each month, commencing with the first month following the Effective Date, Management Company shall reconcile the Receivables of NCRM arising during the previous calendar month. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, NCRM hereby sells and assigns to Management Company as absolute owner, and Management Company hereby purchases from NCRM all Receivables hereafter owned by or arising in favor of NCRM on or before the 20th business day of each month. Management Company shall transfer or pay such amount of funds to NCRM equal to the Receivables less Compensation due Management Company pursuant to Section 6.1. NCRM shall cooperate with Management Company and execute all necessary documents in connection with the purchase and assignment of such Receivables to Management Company or at Management Company’s option, to its lenders. All collections in respect of such Receivables shall be deposited in a bank account at a bank designated by Management Company. To the extent NCRM comes into possession of any payments in respect of such Receivables, NCRM shall direct such payments to Management Company for deposit in bank accounts designated by Management Company.

6.2.2 Any Medicare or Medicaid Receivables due to NCRM shall be excluded from the operation of Section 6.2.1 hereof. Any such Receivables shall be subject to agreement of NCRM and Management Company with respect to the collection thereof.

6.2.3 NCRM will be charged monthly interest at an annualized rate equal to the Prime Rate charged by Management Company’s primary bank on Receivables with average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) greater than 60 days for a trailing three-month period. For example, if prime is 6% and NCRM’s Revenues are $1,385,000 for a three-month period, the average Revenues per day (assuming 90 days in such three-month period) equals $15,389. If on the last day of that same three-month period NCRM’s Receivables are $1.5 million, then NCRM’s DSO equal 97 days ($1.5 million divided by $15,389), resulting in interest being charged for the month on $569,393.00 of NCRM’s Receivables ($15,389 times 37 days) at a rate of 0.5% (6% prime rate divided by 12), or a $2,846.97 interest charge. Any application of this Section 6.2.3 shall exclude Bad Debt from the determination of Receivables subject to an interest payment.

6.2.4 On or before the 20^th business day of each month, commencing with the month following the Effective Date, Management Company shall remit to NCRM the PDE generated for the previous calendar month.

6.3 Advances. Management Company may advance necessary funds for NCRM to meet Cost of Services and, to meet Physician distributions (through their respective professional associations), and Physician-Employee salaries; provided, however, nothing herein shall obligate Management Company to incur Cost of Services and Physician salary Advances in

Page 19 of 36

excess of Revenues under this Agreement in order to sustain NCRM’s operations. As security for such Advances, NCRM shall deliver to Management Company with the execution of this Agreement a Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit 6.3 hereto giving Management Company a collateral interest in all Receivables of NCRM and PDE payable to NCRM Shareholders. Management Company shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to take any and all necessary action to prevent financial losses, in the form of Cost of Services on behalf of NCRM, to Management Company in the event NCRM’s Cost of Services exceed NCRM’s Revenues at any point during the Term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advances will be made by Management Company to satisfy Physician-Employee draws, salaries or pension contributions, unless requested by NCRM.

6.3.1 Any Advance hereunder shall be a debt owed to Management Company by NCRM and shall be repaid in twelve equal installments plus accrued interest on the first day of each month following any Advance. To the extent PDE is available for distribution to Physicians for a particular month; Management Company is authorized to deduct any outstanding Advance from the PDE prior to distribution to the Physicians to pay any installment then due.

6.3.2 Interest expense will be charged on an Advance and will be computed at the Prime Rate charged by Management Company’s primary bank.

6.3.3 In addition to the Security Agreement provided for in Section 6.3, NCRM agrees to enter into a Continuing General Limited Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit 6.3.3 with Management Company’s current bank, Bank of America, National Association in connection with assigning to Bank of America, the Receivables identified in Section 6.2 that are otherwise assigned to Management Company pursuant to the Security Agreement identified in Section 6.3.
