Exhibit 99.1

OCA INTERNATIONAL, LLC CAPITALIZATION AGREEMENT

THIS CAPITALIZATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of December 1, 2005, between Gimili, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“Gimili”) and OCA, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( “OCA”). Gimili and OCA are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party.”

WHEREAS, OCA owns an ownership interest or stock (jointly, the “Stock”) in the following companies (the “Companies”):

(a) Servicios Administrativos OCA, SA de CV; (Mexico)

(b) OCA International, Inc; (Brazil)

(d) OCA Japan; and

(e) Orthodontic Centers of America Europe, S.A.;

WHEREAS, OCA has organized or plans to organize a new entity under the laws of the State of Florida, to be known as OCA International, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“OCAI”), to own, control and operate the Companies;

WHEREAS, OCA plans to contribute its ownership interests in the Companies to OCAI in consideration of the receipt from OCAI of an ownership interest in OCAI and OCAI’s agreement to cause the Companies to issue debt to OCA as hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, Gimili has previously contributed monies for the benefit of the Companies and desires to receive as consideration for these contributions an ownership interest in OCAI;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises made herein, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
RECITAL; TRANSACTIONS

Section 1.1 Recital of Operative Facts.

(a) OCA has been unable to timely complete the audit of its 2004 financial statements as detailed in its Form 8-K by OCA with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2005 and, as a consequence, has not been able to file its quarterly statements on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2005.

-1-

(b) These failures to file resulted in a violation by OCA of covenants in its loan agreements, and it now appears that OCA will not be able to cure its violations until some time in 2006.

(c) In the meantime, OCA’s lenders have curtailed OCA’s borrowing under its line of credit, OCA has so far not been able to obtain other funding sources, and its cash from operations has not been sufficient to fund both its U.S. and its international operations.

(d) Moreover, OCA’s lenders have insisted that OCA restrict its limited cash from operations to its U.S. operations and not its international operations.

(e) OCA’s advisors, Alvarez and Marshall, have concurred that OCA’s cash should be used for U.S. operations only and have not been able to find any alternative that would allow the international operations to continue.

(f) The advisors in fact recommended that OCA’s international subsidiaries be placed in bankruptcy, even though OCA would likely recover nothing from such bankruptcies.

(g) After contact with officials of its international operations all OCA received from them was a proposal to acquire the international operations in exchange for a 10% interest in the profits for five years.

(h) At this point, the Chief Executive Officer of OCA offered to personally fund international proposals on terms mutually acceptable to him and to OCA.

(i) The OCA Board of Directors appointed a special committee of independent directors to discuss such a proposal, and this Agreement and the related Management Agreement reflects the results of such discussions and negotiations between the parties.

Section 1.2 Stock Transfer

At the Closing, subject to the conditions set forth herein, OCA shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Stock to OCAI.

Section 1.3 OCA Contribution

The value of the Stock contributed by OCA to OCAI is based on the net asset book value of the Companies, and agreed at U.S.$14,000,000. In consideration for the Stock, OCA shall receive the following:

(a) Promissory notes from each of the Companies totaling the principal amount of US$12,500,000. These promissory notes shall be allocated to each of the entities in their local currencies as follows:


Japan		603,360,168 Yen
Spain		2,513,701 Euros

-2-


Mexico		39,234,295 Pesos
Brazil		95,712 Reais

These promissory notes shall be amortized over a period of ten (10) years and shall bear interest at the prime rate of interest in each of the applicable countries. All payments of principal and interest under the promissory notes shall be deferred until such time that OCAI has achieved profitability so that debt coverage is over 1.25 times profits.

(b) An equity/ownership interest of 53.57% in OCAI based on a stated capital contribution of US$1,500,000.

Section 1.3 Gimili Contribution

The value of the contributions heretofore made or to be made by Gimili, prior to the end of calendar year 2005, to the Companies shall total US$1,300,000. In consideration for his contributions, Gimili shall receive an equity/ownership interest in OCAI or 46.43%.

Section 1.4 The Closing

(a) The closing (the “Closing”) of the Stock transfer shall take place at OCA’s headquarters in Metairie, Louisiana (or at such other location as the Parties may agree), commencing at 5 pm local time on December 1, 2005. The date and time of the Closing are referred to as the “Closing Date.”

(b) At the Closing, OCA shall deliver to OCAI the original stock certificates representing the Stock, endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed assignment documents and with signature guaranteed, and OCAI shall issue membership units to the Parties in relation to their respective interests and deliver to OCA the promissory notes for the debt obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the original stock certificates are located in Metairie, Louisiana and are inaccessible because of Hurricane Katrina, duplicate certificates can be prepared for delivery at the Closing.

ARTICLE II
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Section 2.1 Capital Calls

(a) The Parties recognize that from time to time OCAI, or one or more of the Companies may require additional capital. If additional funds are required, such additional funds shall be contributed by the Parties in proportion to their ownership of OCAI.

(b) If either Party is unwilling or unable to make, within 10 (10) days, any or all of such Party’s proportionate contribution upon a capital call, then the other Party shall have the right to make up such deficit amount in any proportion that they decide. If the other Party makes a contribution pursuant to the foregoing, such Party’s contribution shall be treated as an additional capital contribution by that Party.

-3-

(c) The additional contribution by one Party shall increase that Party’s percentage capital interest in OCAI (and their respective interests in the net profits, net losses and cash flow) determined by dividing the total amount of capital contributed to OCAI by such Party by the total amount of capital contributed to OCAI by all Parties. The resulting quotient, with respect to each Party, shall be the adjusted ownership percentage interest of such Party. (and in the net profits, net losses and cash flow). In accordance with such increased capital interest, OCAI shall issue to the contributing Party such additional ownership interests as are necessary to properly reflect their increased capital interest in the Company.
