3. Further, as a Member of this Coalition, our organization acknowledges and agrees that if our organization fails to maintain “good standing” membership in the Delaware Valley Health Care Coalition, Inc. and continues to receive any pricing, discounts, rebates and/or quality services set forth in any Umbrella contract and/or Member Agreement to which our organization is signatory, then the DVHCC has the right to charge our organization an “access fee” equivalent to the normal utilization fees owed under the vendor contract based upon our organizations’ past year’s utilization for so long as our organization continues to receive such Coalition-negotiated benefits.
4. Further, it is the understanding of our organization that the Coalition has the right and obligation to collect any access fee or utilization fees either directly from the Vendor or Member should the Vendor fail to properly collect the utilization fees and remit the same to the Delaware Valley Health Care Coalition.
