1.01                      Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April
14, 2010, Emerging Vision, Inc. (the "Company"), Insight IPA of New York, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Insight IPA") and Insight Managed
Vision Care, a division of the Company ("Insight MVC") entered into an agreement
(the "Agreement") with Vision World, LLC ("Vision World").  Dr. Alan
Cohen, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors, is an executive officer
of, and together with members of his immediate family, a member of Vision
World.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, Vision World has agreed to:
·
to
      the extent that Insight IPA and Insight MVC have agreed with third party
      organizations to administer Managed Care Plans (as defined in the
      Agreement) (i.e., to process and forward claims from providers for
      payment, respond to eligibility determinations and receive and distribute
      payments), perform such functions on behalf of Insight IPA and Insight MVC
      and, to collect and distribute payments to franchisees and store operators
      of the Company who have entered into provider agreements with Insight IPA
      and/or Insight MVC ("Insight
Providers");
·
be
      responsible for the credentialing of all Insight
  Providers;
·
provide
      support for Insight Providers to seek to resolve any issues, including
      requirements of applicable managed care plans and claim status;
      and
·
allow
      certain franchisees and store operators of the Company (that are not
      Insight Providers) the opportunity to serve as providers for Vision
      World.
In
exchange for its service as a third party administrator for the Insight
Providers, the Agreement provides that Vision World shall be entitled to a
processing fee of $4.60 per claim submitted and collected by Vision World (the
"Processing Fee") during the first year of the Term (as hereinafter
defined).  For each subsequent year of the Term, Vision World will
have the right, not more than once each year, to increase the Processing Fee,
provided the amount of the increase may not exceed five 5% in any one
year.
The
Agreement also provides that, for each claim submitted and collected on behalf
of the Company's franchisees and store operators who elect to become Vision
World providers, Vision World shall be entitled to an administrative fee of 25%
of the amount collected on each such claim (the "Vision World Administration
Fee").  Vision World is required to make monthly payments to the
Company equal to 20% of the aggregate Vision World Administration Fees for each
month of the Term.
The
Agreement also provides for certain mutual indemnification obligations and each
of the parties to the Agreement has made certain representations, as set forth
in the Agreement.
The
Agreement commences on May 1, 2010 and shall continue until April 30, 2015,
subject to earlier termination as set forth in the Agreement.  The
Agreement shall automatically renew for additional 5 year periods unless either
party provides notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the expiration of
any such 5 year period (collectively, the "Term").
The
foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the full text of the document filed as Exhibits 10.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference
herein.
