(3) Each such service agreement shall further effectively in substance provide that:
(a) The participant hospital shall be compensated for services rendered to a subscriber in accordance with a schedule of charges contained in the agreement or attached to and made a part of the agreement, and that the hospital shall not request or receive from the service corporation any compensation for such services which is not in accord with such schedule.

(4) The service corporation shall terminate the service agreement as to a particular participant hospital, in addition to other bases of termination provided for in the agreement, if it is determined that the hospital has knowingly charged or attempted to charge the service corporation for any service not actually rendered, or has knowingly violated any material provision of the service agreement.
