Exhibit A
Employee is eligible to receive compensation for his solicitation and
enrollment of new orthodontic and pediatric dental practices ("Prospect
Practices") that affiliate with the Company pursuant to the following terms:
1. Acceptance of Prospect Practices.
In order to affiliate with the Company, Prospect Practices must
provide such information and documentation and execute such agreements and
documentation as the Company may require from time to time. The acceptance of
such information, agreements and documentation from all Prospect Practices shall
be subject to the approval of Company and Company, in its sole discretion, may
withhold such approval.
2. Terms of Affiliation.
Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
determine the terms and conditions for the Prospect Practices to affiliate with
the Company and Company may change such terms and conditions in any respect at
any time without prior notice to Employee.
3. Computation of Commissions.
Subject to the next paragraph, Employee shall be paid a
commission, of an amount equal to up to Two Percent (2%) of the Adjusted Gross
Revenue for each Prospect Practice in the territory assigned to Employee from
time to time by the Company ("Territory") that affiliates with the Company
during the term of this Agreement. As used herein, a Prospect Practice will not
be deemed to have affiliated with the Company unless and until all of the
information, contracts and documentation required by the Company have been
accepted by the Company as set forth in Section 1 above and all necessary
government filings and approvals have been completed and obtained. As used
herein, Adjusted Gross Revenue shall mean the Prospect Practice's annual
adjusted gross revenue used by the Company for valuation purposes.
Company shall have the right to recruit Prospect Practices
through any and all avenues, including but not limited to the efforts of its
affiliated orthodontists and pediatric dentists to recruit Prospect Practices in
the Territory and the use of other recruitment representatives in the Territory.
In the event that the Company is required to pay any commissions, fees or other
amounts to any other persons or entities in connection with the solicitation and
recruitment of any Prospect Practice in the Territory, the Prospect Practice
shall be deemed to be a "split account," and the amount of the commission
payable to the Representative for such Prospect Practice shall be reduced. The
President and CEO of the Company shall determine in his sole discretion the
amount of the reduction of the commission that would have been determined
payable pursuant to this Section 3 for such split account.

4. Stock Options.
Employee shall be entitled to receive stock options to purchase
shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company for each Prospect Practice that
affiliates with the Company, provided that the Company's Class A Common Stock is
publicly traded. The number of options shall be an amount equal to .002 times
the Adjusted Gross Revenue of the applicable Prospect Practice. By way of
example and not limitation, Employee would receive a stock option for Two
Thousand (2,000) shares of Class A Common Stock when a Prospect Practice with
Adjusted Gross Revenue of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) affiliates with the
Company (.002 x 1,000,000 = 2,000). Subject to the terms of the applicable stock
option plan, (i) the stock options will be granted as of the closing date of the
affiliation of the Prospect Practice, (ii) the options will vest twenty percent
(20%) on the date of grant and twenty percent (20%) per year on each anniversary
of the date of grant and (iii) the exercise price for the stock options shall be
the closing price on the date of grant.
