“Gross Revenues” means all sums which are (i) attributed to IPA (determined on an accrual basis) as compensation for the provision of medical services by IPA employed and independent contractor physicians and physician extenders, including, but not limited to, all capitated income, all rights to receive IPA’s portion of hospital and other shared risk pool payments, all copayments, coordination of benefits, third party recovery, insured services, enrollment protection (or other such revenue as is available to replenish capitated services)

 



 

and all rights to receive fee-for-service income for medical, diagnostic and therapeutic services provided to IPA patients; and/or (ii) derived by IPA or its employees other than from the provision of medical services, including, but not limited to, consulting services, insurance and legal recoveries, royalties and licensing payments, franchise payments, rents and lease payments, and proceeds from the sale of assets or the merger or other business combination of IPA.

 

“Net Pre-Tax Income” means Gross Revenues less the Cost of Medical Services after provision of any physician incentive payments but before provision for income taxes.

 

“Net Pre-Tax Loss” means any loss resulting after the deduction from Gross Revenues of the Cost of Medical Services after provision of any physician incentive payments but before provision for income taxes.

 

“Net Pre-Tax Profit” means any profit resulting after the deduction from Gross Revenues of the Cost of Medical Services after provision of any physician incentive payments but before provision for income taxes.

 

B.                                     Management Fee

 

Base Management Fee.  For its services hereunder, which shall include the provision of all necessary facilities and furniture, fixtures and equipment and all non-physician employees of ProMed HCA who perform services for IPA and all management services provided hereunder, ProMed HCA shall be entitled to receive (i) fifteen percent (15%) of Gross Revenues (the “Management Fee”) plus (ii) a fee for marketing and public relations services in the amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) per month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if IPA’s working capital is insufficient to meet IPA’s liabilities or other obligations to the extent necessary to meet such obligations, the Management Fee provided for in item (i) above shall be deferred until IPA is able to meet all such obligations.  The Management Fee shall be reviewed on an annual basis by ProMed HCA’s Board of Directors to ensure that it remains consistent with the fair market value for the services rendered to IPA by ProMed HCA.

 

Performance Incentive Bonus Payment.  If, at the end of IPA’s fiscal year, it is determined that IPA has a Net Pre-Tax Profit for the year, ProMed HCA shall be entitled to a performance incentive bonus payment consistent with the fair market value of the services provided by ProMed HCA to IPA (as determined on an annual basis by the Board of Directors of ProMed HCA), but no more than fifty percent (50%) of Net Pre-Tax Income in excess of eight percent (8%) of Net Pre-Tax Profits.

 

Performance Incentive Penalty Payment.  If, at the end of IPA’s fiscal year, it is determined that IPA has a Net Pre-Tax Loss for the year, ProMed HCA shall be obligated to pay to IPA (in the form of a reduction in future management fees) a penalty payment in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Pre-Tax Loss.”
