designated  management  representative(s)  from INMD, one or more FCI owners, as
determined  by FCI,  such other  practice  physicians,  as  appropriate  and the
Executive  Directors.  In the case of any matter  requiring a formal  vote,  FCI

responsibilities:

                  12.2.2 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND EXPANSION. Except as otherwise
         provided  herein,  any  renovation  and  expansion  plans,  and capital
         equipment  expenditures  with  respect  to FCI  shall be  reviewed  and
         approved by the Joint Practice Management Board and shall be based upon
         the  best  interests  of FCI,  and  shall  take  into  account  capital
         priorities,  economic feasibility,  physician support, productivity and
         then current market and regulatory conditions.

                  12.2.3  ADVERTISING  BUDGET.  All annual advertising and other
         marketing  budgets  prepared  by INMD shall be  subject to the  review,
         amendment,  approval and  disapproval of the Joint Practice  Management
         Board.

                  12.2.4 PATIENT FEES. The Joint Practice Management Board shall

         health care  providers  and payers shall be made by the Joint  Practice

         unanimous  consent  of FCI  designated  members  of the Joint  Practice
         Management  Board shall be  necessary to  discontinue  any existing FCI
         institutional  relationship.

                  12.2.7 STRATEGIC PLANNING. The Joint Practice Management Board
         shall develop long-term strategic plans, from time to time.

                  12.2.8 PHYSICIAN HIRING.  The Joint Practice  Management Board
         shall determine,  except as otherwise  provided for herein,  the number
         and type of physicians required for the efficient operation of FCI. The
         approval of the Joint Practice  Management  Board shall be required for
         any  modifications  to  the  restrictive  covenants  contained  in  any
         physician agreement.

                  12.2.9 PROVIDER CONTRACTS. The Joint Practice Management Board
         shall  approve,  disapprove,  or amend  all  managed  care,  PPO,  HMO,
         Medicare risk and other provider contracts negotiated by INMD.

                  12.2.10 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. The selection and retention of the
         Executive  Director  pursuant to Section 3.3.1 by INMD shall be subject
         to the reasonable  approval of the Joint Practice  Management Board. If
         FCI is  dissatisfied  with  the  services  provided  by  the  Executive
         Director,  FCI  shall  consult  with  INMD who  shall,  in good  faith,
         determine  whether the  performance of the Executive  Director could be
         brought to acceptable levels through counsel and assistance, or whether
         the Executive Director should be terminated.  FCI acknowledges that the
         removal of an  Executive  Director is likely to involve  financial  and
         other  commitments on the part of INMD that were undertaken  after that
         individual's  approval  by FCI.  Therefore,  the  decision to remove an
         Executive Director shall rest with INMD."

         2. All other provisions of the Management Agreement, as amended, not in
conflict with this Amendment No. 4 remain in full force and effect.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties have signed this  Amendment No. 4 the
date first above written.
