  a.

General. Promptly following the date of the Agreement, Epic will deliver to You the Code and the Documentation published and generally released by Epic to its United States customers for the Program Property.

 

  b.

Responsibility for Site. Epic does not sell hardware so that it can remain independent in advising You on Your hardware selection. Therefore, You will be responsible for providing hardware for use with the Program Property and establishing a site for the hardware, assuring reasonably appropriate operating methods and backup procedures, and implementing reasonably sufficient procedures and checks designed to assure data security and accuracy in both input and output and in the event of the need for restart or recovery from malfunction. [***] When You decide to implement a significant Update to the Program Property, [***] Since You may use the Program

  Property in a manner that differs from other typical customers, Your actual hardware needs may vary.

 

4.

[***]

 

  d.

Training of Project Team. Your project team will attend standard training courses at Epic based on Epic’s then-current recommendations for training for Your project team. These courses utilize test data, with standard items and standard screens, and settings appropriate for project team members to learn the capabilities of the software. Any budget estimates Epic has provided assume a specific number of project team trainees at various sessions based on Epic’s typical experience for that type of project. You may decide to send additional project team staff for training as needed for Your implementation at the applicable standard training rates subject to Section 4(f).

  e.

Training of End Users. Epic will assist Your project team in developing Your end-user-training program as part of the implementation services [***] Except as otherwise agreed in the Implementation Schedule, typically Epic staff members will train Your initial class of physician end users for certain applications. For the next class of end users for those applications and for Your first class of end users for other applications, typically Your trainers will train the class with Epic staff members observing Your trainers and providing suggestions and assisting as needed. Thereafter, typically Your trainers will train the remainder of end-users for each class.

 

  f.

Rates. All installation, implementation, and training services [***] provided by Epic will be at Epic’s standard rates for such services. The current standard rates for such services are listed on Exhibit 4 and will not increase during the first [***] months of this Agreement. [***]

 

  g.

[***] Epic can amend or terminate the [***] at any time in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the standard [***] that is current at the time that Your implementation of a particular Item begins will apply and remain in effect for that Item during the period in which You are actively installing such Item without material delay or suspension for reasons other than Epic’s failure to provide the implementation services in accordance with Section 4(a) of

  this Agreement. You have informed Epic that as of the date of the Agreement, You intend to implement the Program Property in accordance with Epic’s then-current [***]

 

  h.

Implementation Item Amount; Reporting and Budget Assessment.

 

  (i)

Implementation Item Amount. Based upon the timeline contemplated in the initially proposed implementation sequence attached as Exhibit 2(a), the tasks contemplated in the sample implementation schedule attached as Exhibit 2(b), and Epic’s experience with other customers, Epic has, in good faith, prepared and provided [***]

 

  (ii)

Reporting. As part of Epic’s performance of the Implementation Item Services, Epic’s project team holds [***] During Your implementation of the Implementation Items as contemplated in the implementation sequence attached as Exhibit 2(a) as of the date of the Agreement (the “Initial Implementation”), Epic’s team will [***] During Your Initial Implementation, Epic’s team also will [***]

 

 

5


  [***] A sample of the types of [***] reports currently used by Epic for these reporting purposes is provided in Exhibit 11 and the [***] reports provided by Epic during Your Initial Implementation will contain substantially similar information as those contained in Exhibit 11. The [***] reports will [***]

 

  (iii)

Budget Conferences. If You have any concerns about the activities or progress related to the implementation, or about the costs for the Implementation Item Services exceeding the Budgeted Implementation Amount, Epic and You will mutually develop, if appropriate, a plan of action to address such concerns, and if You do not feel the plan is effective to address Your concerns, You may escalate such concerns using the escalation process set forth in Section 21(b) of the Agreement to ensure that Epic and You are focused on and adequately addressing such concerns. [***]

      

[***]

 

  i.

Access to Server. You will provide Epic with access to the server(s) on which the Program Property is installed through an IP network connection as reasonably needed by Epic in connection with the performance of its services. This connection may be implemented over one of the following technologies at Your discretion: (1) a LAN-to-LAN IPSec tunnel terminated on [***] and a suitable hardware VPN device at Your site, or (2) comparable technology as agreed to by the parties. The connection between Your server(s) on which the Program Property is installed and an edge router of Your internet service provider will have a minimum available bandwidth of at least 56 Kilobits per second and a maximum average latency of 15 milliseconds. Collectively, the access technology requirement and the connection requirement are the “Minimum Access Requirements.” Each party will be responsible for all necessary hardware and software and line costs on its end, including configuration. Epic may reasonably revise the Minimum Access Requirements from time to time to ensure that access is still adequate given changes in technology. Epic will notify You of any such revisions to the Minimum Access Requirements. You agree to upgrade the access technology and/or connection, at Your sole cost, to meet the Minimum Access Requirements as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than eighteen (18) months following receipt of written notice from Epic to You of any such change. You also grant to Epic the right of access to the Program Property as reasonably needed by Epic for support and to monitor and maintain efficient Program Property operations. After the First Live Use of an Item of Program Property, it will be Your responsibility to grant access to Your server(s) containing the Program Property or Your data by Epic employees using an appropriate, reasonable password protection system designated by You, and You will provide Epic employees access to Your server(s) only through such password protection system. [***]

 

 

6


  [***] If You unreasonably limit Epic’s access to the Program Property or the server(s) on which it is installed, You understand that Epic may not be able to provide the services as contemplated under the Agreement, and in such event any of Epic’s affected obligations under this Agreement will be excused, with Epic reserving the right to charge for any additional costs and fees reasonably incurred as a result.

 

  j.

Requirement for Availability of Certain Interfaces Before First Live Use.

 

  (i)

Claims Processing. If a [***] is licensed to You under the Agreement, You agree that You will not begin First Live Use of the [***] until the claims process mutually agreed to in [***] (whether a manual claims process or a process using an electronic claims interface) has been tested, is operating successfully for Your claims processing and has been approved in writing by both Your senior financial representative for Your claims processing and Epic’s implementation director. In addition, it is important that You use a claims processing clearinghouse in Your initial go-live for electronic claims, in lieu of direct-to-payor electronic claims interfaces. Use of a clearinghouse permits the parties to focus less attention on special claim issues during the period just before Your First Live Use of Resolute. The clearinghouse You use must be able to process HIPAA compliant claims transaction in the most current version of the ANSI X12 837 Professional and/or Institutional format(s). After Your electronic claims have been successfully processed for 6 months following Your First Live Use of the [***]

  or earlier upon mutual agreement of the parties’ implementation teams to replace a number of Your pre-existing direct-to-payor interfaces, Epic will, at Your request, work with You to explore the development of electronic claims interfaces directly to payors.

 

  (ii)

Lab Interfaces. If an [***] is licensed under this Agreement, You also agree that You will not begin First Live Use of the [***] until results of laboratory tests and procedures can be successfully entered into the database used by the [***] for results reporting (either because the lab interface(s) have been tested and are operating successfully or You are manually entering all results into the system).

 

  (iii)

General. IF YOU PROCEED WITH FIRST LIVE USE OF A [***] OR AN [***] WITHOUT FIRST ACCOMPLISHING THE APPLICABLE STEPS IN THIS SECTION 4(J), THE WARRANTY PROVIDED IN SECTION 8 FOR THE APPLICABLE [***] OR [***] WILL BE VOID AND YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTED THE APPLICABLE ITEM. UPON YOUR REQUEST, EPIC WILL VERIFY IF YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE APPLICABLE STEPS FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 4(J) PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST LIVE USE OF AN APPLICABLE ITEM.

 

  k.

Regulatory Changes to Claims Forms and Formats. If, during the period that You are participating in the Maintenance Program with respect to Resolute and any other applicable Items or formats, Epic in good faith determines that a change is required to paper claim forms or electronic claims formats because of a change to a federal regulatory requirement, Epic will modify the Program Property to comply with the change and provide the modification to You [***] within a reasonable time to allow You to test the change before the requirement is effective, except that Epic will be allowed a reasonable period from the time Epic becomes aware of the changed requirement to develop and implement the modification in a subsequent release or other periodic Update. If You so request, a billable retrofit will be made available to You. The above procedure does not apply to changes that are due to a requirement of a clearinghouse or other third-party claims processing system or that are not directly a federal regulatory requirement (for example a technical or processing deficiency of that clearinghouse or third-party system).

 

 

7


  l.

Other Federal Regulatory Requirements. In addition to the provisions of Section 4(k) above, Epic will make modifications to the Program Property as provided in this Section 4(l) to comply with other changes in federal regulations if:

 

  (i)

You have continuously participated in the Maintenance Program from the date of this Agreement with respect to the affected Item;

 

  (ii)

the change in federal regulation directly relates to the functionality of Epic’s Program Property as it is described in the Documentation Manuals and would result in the operation of the Program Property as described in the Documentation Manuals violating such federal regulation; and

 

  (iii)

in Epic’s good faith determination such change to the federal regulation requires modification of the Program Property and it would not be technically infeasible or commercially unreasonable to make such modification.

Modifications under this Section 4(l) will be made available in an Update of the applicable Item. Epic will deliver any modification made under this Section 4(l) prior to a reasonable period for testing before the effective date of such federal regulation if Epic becomes aware of the requirement within a reasonable period of time in advance of the effective date of the requirement in light of the nature of the requirement, the significance of the changes required to the Program Property and the status of the release cycle. If Epic in its good faith judgment determines that it cannot make a modification to the Program Property required by a change in federal regulation or cannot do so prior to the effective date of such regulation, then Epic will arrange a meeting of those of its customers for whom the change is relevant to determine if, and to what extent, using [***] combined resources [***] possible cost-sharing arrangements [***] the requirements of the federal regulation can be met. Nothing in this Section will require Epic to retrofit any modifications to a previous version of the Program Property. Epic’s modifications under this

Section may include changes to or the elimination of certain functionality of the Program Property. Epic will not, without Your [***] consent, materially reduce the functionality of the Program Property as licensed by You on the date of this Agreement.

 

  m.

Meaningful Use. As of the date of the Agreement, the HITECH Act provides for certain requirements (including incentive payments and penalties) of healthcare providers making “meaningful use” of “Certified EHR Technology” (as that term is defined as of the date of the Agreement by 42 C.F.R § 495.4). ICSA Labs, recognized by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) as an Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB), has informed Epic that the [***] A certification notification for these two (2) Complete EHRs and four (4) Modular EHRs is attached as Exhibit 12 and provides additional information about the 2014 ONC Edition certifications that Epic has received. For the sake of clarity, in addition to the [***] You may need to license and use appropriate Ancillary Systems and Additional Tools.

On October 6, 2015, CMS released the Stage 3 Meaningful Use Final Rule (as defined as of the date of the Agreement, “Stage 3”) and ONC released a final rule outlining the new 2015 ONC Edition of health IT certification criteria (as defined as of the date of the agreement, the “2015 ONC Edition Criteria”). A subset of the 2015 ONC Edition Criteria are intended to support Meaningful Use (including Stage 3) and compose the above mentioned Certified EHR Technology (the “2015 ONC Edition MU Criteria”). As of the date of this Agreement, [***]

MODIFICATIONS

 

  a.

General. You may request that Epic modify part of the Program Property or develop and provide You with Programming Points Code at any time more than three months after Your First Live Use of the Program Property by using a Change Order or Budget Allocation. You may choose either a fixed-price option or an hourly charge option with an estimate. Payments with respect to any fixed-price Change Order or Budget Allocation will be due upon Your execution of the Change Order or Budget Allocation. Work with respect to non-fixed-priced Change Orders or Budget Allocations will be invoiced as performed.

 

  b.

Rates. Hourly rates will vary depending on the services to be performed. The current rates are listed on Exhibit 4 attached hereto. Such rates will not increase during the first twelve (12) months of this Agreement [***] Additional charges apply for retrofits and rush Change Orders or Budget Allocations as specified in the Change Order or Budget Allocation.

  c.

Ownership. Epic tries to generalize requests for changes to the Program Property and then makes the modifications available to all customers as Updates under the Maintenance Program. In this way, You can obtain access to the changes requested and paid for by our many other customers without additional charge to You. For this reason and to allow Epic to properly manage its release process and provide appropriate support, Epic needs to retain ownership to all of the Code and Documentation that it develops. Therefore, the parties agree that Epic will own all Code, Documentation and modifications to the Code or Documentation that Epic develops, and all copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights with respect to any such Code or Documentation. As used in this Agreement, Epic “develops” Code when it writes the Code for such software and “develops” Documentation when it writes such Documentation.

 

  d.

Retrofits. Modified Code will normally be made available to You through Epic’s standard Update release process unless otherwise agreed to on the Change Order or Budget Allocation. Retrofits are available only to the then current standard version of the Program Property upon Epic’s consent in the Change Order or Budget Allocation. A “retrofit” is a modification to the Code of a previously released version of the Program Property, rather than a modification that is made available in a subsequent release.

  c.

Increasing the Licensed Volume. The Program Property license and maintenance fees specified in Exhibit 1(a) are based on the initial Licensed Volume and unless otherwise stated on Exhibit 1(a) are for a single Production Directory. If any Annual Volume exceeds any Licensed Volume, then You agree to pay Epic an additional license fee to increase the Licensed Volume at such time. If You discover that any Licensed Volume has been exceeded, You agree to notify Epic upon such discovery. The Licensed Volume must be increased to at least the standard Licensed Volume level offered by Epic that covers the greater of the Annual Volume for the then current license year or the estimated Annual Volume for the next license year. [***] the additional license fee due is equal to the difference between the then standard license fee for the new Licensed Volume after the increase less the then standard license fee for the Licensed Volume before the increase. Additional maintenance fees based on increased Licensed Volume will be due from the date that the Annual Volume exceeds the previous Licensed Volume. Epic’s standard fees for Licensed Volume for Affiliate Users may vary depending on the relationship You have with the applicable Affiliate User. You will permit Epic reasonable access to Your servers to check counters or run reports to determine the Annual Volume, [***]

 

      

[***]

  [***]

 

  e.

Additional Production Directory Fees. Except as otherwise expressly stated in Exhibit 1(a), the license and maintenance fees specified in this Agreement assume that You are using only one Production Directory. If You would like to create or use one or more Production Directories in addition to Your initial Production Directory, You must [***] pay Epic the then-current standard license and maintenance fees charged by Epic with respect to such additional Production Directories. In order to allow for sufficient set-up time, You must notify Epic in writing that You plan to create or use an additional Production Directory at least sixty (60) days in advance of such creation or use and request [***] Epic’s then-current fee structure [***] for such additional Production Directory. Additional fees may also be required with respect to applicable Third Party Software and Data for any additional Production Directories. [***]

  i.

Third Party Fees. Except as otherwise stated in Exhibit 1(a), license fees for Third Party Software and Data will be due upon delivery, and maintenance fees for Third Party Software and Data are due annually in advance of the applicable maintenance period. Maintenance fees for Third Party Software and Data [***] are subject to change from time to time [***]

 

  j.

Out-of-pocket Expenses. All travel and other reasonable, [***] out-of-pocket expenses sustained by Epic in connection with this Agreement will be billed to You separately as incurred and in accordance with the Epic travel policy attached as Exhibit 14. Any commissions relating to travel (i.e., the typical types of commissions retained by travel agents when booking travel) may be retained by Epic to offset its travel department overhead which is not billed to You. Travel will not be initiated by Epic without Your prior written approval, which will typically include the amount of expected airfare. If You are more than sixty (60) days past due for payment of any out-of-pocket expenses sustained by Epic [***] Epic may in its sole discretion require You to prepay such expenses.

 

 

12


  k.

Payment Date; Interest. You will pay all funds due to Epic by the later of: (i) [***] days after [***] the [***] (ii) the payment date specified in the invoice; or (iii) the date such payment is due as otherwise specified in this Agreement. If You owe Epic any Uncontested Amount after the date specified in the preceding sentence, then such Uncontested Amount will accrue interest until paid at the rate of the lesser of one percent (1%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by law. All overdue interest charges may be added to Your maintenance fees. All payments may be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest charges and then to other amounts due to Epic under this Agreement, as determined in Epic’s sole discretion. You agree that if any Uncontested Amounts that You owe to Epic remain unpaid more than [***] days after such amounts are due to Epic, Epic may, in its sole discretion and with [***] written notice to You, suspend the performance of Epic’s installation, training, customization and/or maintenance services under this Agreement until such amounts are paid in full. In addition, if You fail to pay any Uncontested Amount specified in this Agreement [***] due, You will have materially breached this Agreement if such payment remains unpaid for a period of sixty (60) days or more after [***] written notice of default from Epic to You.

 

  l.

Payments Before First Live Use. You agree that You will begin First Live Use of each Item only if at such time there are no Uncontested Amounts due to Epic under this Agreement that are unpaid. Epic may require a license key number to be entered into the applicable Item of Program Property for use of such Item of Program Property for live, production purposes. You agree that Epic will not enable an Item of Program Property for such use by You if You are not current with Your payments [***] to Epic.

 

  m.

Maintenance Fees. During the period You are participating in the Maintenance Program, You agree to pay Epic monthly maintenance fees for each Item for which the Maintenance Program is then in effect. The initial monthly maintenance fee for each Item at the initial Licensed Volume is set forth in

  Exhibit 1(a) and is due [***] monthly in advance. Maintenance amounts will be increased if the Licensed Volume increases in the same manner as Your license fees. Except for expansions of Licensed Volume, the monthly maintenance fees for all Items will remain at the initial rates for a time period [***] twelve months after [***] the date of this Agreement. After that period, Epic may change the maintenance fees [***] but during the first [***] years of this Agreement the aggregate increases in maintenance fees (other than for expansions of Licensed Volume) for each Item [***] will not exceed the [***]

  d.

Error Correction.

 

  (i)

Epic will provide error correction services and respond to requests concerning the correction of any Program Errors, all in the manner set forth in Exhibit 8.

 

  (ii)

When You report a problem that You believe is a Program Error or Suspected Program Error (as that term is defined in Exhibit 8), Epic will [***] If You repeatedly request Epic’s troubleshooting services to address Non-Program Property Errors that should have been readily diagnosed by Your staff, Epic will escalate its concerns in accordance with Section 21(b) of the Agreement. Once a reported problem has been mutually agreed upon as a Non-Program Property Error, Epic’s responsibility with respect to such Non-Program Property Error will be

  limited to (a) providing assistance and advice to enable You to determine appropriate remedial action to be taken by You or others, which assistance will include at Your reasonable request, [***] or (b) for third party software under maintenance with Epic, providing such other assistance as is described in Section 7(g), below. Epic will charge You for any associated consulting time for any Non-Program Property Error [***] (other than for assistance provided by Epic for third party software under maintenance with Epic pursuant to Section 7(g), below) at Epic’s then standard rates for such services.

 

  e.

Maintenance Requests. You will designate a sufficient number of employees, who will be trained [***] and knowledgeable concerning the Program Property, to serve as a single, centralized help desk that is responsible for contacting Epic concerning requests for service under the Maintenance Program. If direct requests to Epic for services under the Maintenance Program are made by other persons and such requests are not isolated and have been repeated after Epic has informed You [***] of the problem, then Epic may charge You at its then standard rates for such requests.

 

  f.

Term and Termination of Maintenance Program.

 

  (i)

Term and Renewal. By execution of this Agreement, You have also contracted for the first full year of the Maintenance Program for each Item of Program Property. The first year of the Maintenance Program for each Item commences upon Your First Live Use of that Item. At the end of the first year and any subsequent renewal term, the Maintenance Program will automatically be renewed for an additional one-year period for that Item unless a party has terminated the Maintenance Program as provided in this Section 7(f). Epic will coordinate Your maintenance payments for all of Your Program Property so that each Item You license has the same maintenance year.

 

 

15


  (ii)

Termination. If You would like to terminate the Maintenance Program, You must notify Epic in writing of Your intention to terminate the Maintenance Program at least [***] days before the expiration of the then current term, [***] If You participate in the Maintenance Program for any Item, then You must participate for all Program Property that are available for use in Your system except Items for which maintenance has not yet commenced and Items to which Your access has been disabled as provided in the following sentence. You may terminate the Maintenance Program for a particular Item if You discontinue use of such Item and permit Epic to employ a key that disables Your access to that Item. If You terminate participation in the Maintenance Program for all Program Property, You must terminate maintenance for the Operating Environment and the Third Party Software and Data sublicensed through Epic. In addition, if Epic increases the maintenance fees for any Item of Program Property [***] You may terminate the Maintenance Program, [***] as to all Items of Program Property [***] by providing Epic with notice of such termination within [***] days after the earlier of the date Epic notifies You of or bills You for the increased fees. Such termination will become effective upon the later of [***] days after You notify Epic of the termination or the effective date of the maintenance fee increase. If You terminate the Maintenance Program because of a fee increase, then the increase will not become effective for the period prior to the termination.

 

  (iii)

Re-Enrollment. If You terminate the Maintenance Program for any reason and You later seek to re-enroll, You will be subject to the then current re-enrollment fees and terms charged or required by Epic. If You do not participate in the Maintenance Program, then any services provided to You by Epic that are normally covered by the Maintenance Program will be billed to You at the then current rates Epic charges for such services to those Epic

  customers who do not participate in the Maintenance Program.

During the Maintenance Program, You will continue to install and use: (1) the Current Version of each Item of Program Property; (2) the most current version of the operating system supported by such version for the hardware that You are using, and (3) the most current version of the Operating Environment software, the KB SQL software and, if applicable, the most current version of the Business Intelligence Software and the Clarity RDBMS Software supported by such version of the Program Property for the hardware that You are using, all subject to the Applicable Transition Period (“Staying Current”). As of the date of this Agreement, the “Applicable Transition Period” begins on the release date for the newer version and continues for 18 months unless You have licensed and begun First Live Use of both Inpatient Items and Ambulatory Items, in which case the Applicable Transition Period will instead continue for 24 months from the release date; provided that if the [***] Epic may modify the Applicable Transition Period from time to time in connection with changes to Epic’s standard release cycle, provided that (1) Epic will [***] and (2) [***]

 

 

16


  [***] If You are using the Superseded Version of any Item of Program Property during the Applicable Transition Period and You are otherwise Staying Current, Epic will continue to support Your Program Property as provided in this Section 7. However, once the Current Version is released, Epic will not provide any modification services with respect to the Superseded Version and will not retrofit changes to the Superseded Version except to the extent Epic determines a retrofit is necessary to correct a Substantive Program Error for which no Reasonable Workaround is available. If You are not Staying Current as described above, Epic may discontinue the Maintenance Program upon [***] days advance notice to You (during which time You may become current to avoid such termination). If You use a version of an Item of Program Property other than the Current Version beyond the Applicable Transition Period and You continue to participate in the Maintenance Program, Your monthly maintenance fees [***] be increased by ten percent (10%) plus five percent (5%) for every six additional months after the expiration of the Applicable Transition Period that You do not upgrade to the Current Version, until You install and begin using the Current Version.

 

  B.

During the Maintenance Program, if You are more than [***] days delinquent on any Uncontested Amount due to Epic, You agree that Epic may suspend its performance of the maintenance services set forth in this Section 7 [***] until such time as You have become current in Your payments to Epic.

 

  (v)

Epic agrees that it will make the Maintenance Program available for all Items of Program Property for at least ten (10) years after the date of this Agreement. Epic may terminate the Maintenance Program for any Item effective beginning no earlier than ten (10) years after the date of this Agreement, by providing You with notice of such termination at least [***] prior to the effective date of the termination.

  (vi)

Termination of the Maintenance Program under this Section 7(f) does not terminate Your license to use the Program Property.

 

  g.

Third Party Software Maintenance. With respect to Third Party Software and Data for which a maintenance fee is charged, the maintenance programs for such Third Party Software and Data begin thirty (30) days after delivery of such software to You, except as may otherwise be stated in Exhibit 1(a) or in the applicable Third Party Addendum or Third Party Tools Order. You will contact Epic with respect to any consultation or assistance requests relating to any of this Third Party Software and Data. During the maintenance period for such Third Party Software and Data, Epic will respond to inquiries either by consulting with and assisting You directly, if possible, or by contacting the owners/publishers of the applicable Third Party Software and Data to obtain any additional consultation or assistance that is necessary. You must participate in the software maintenance programs for all of this software during any period that You are participating in the Maintenance Program.

 

  h.

Performance Monitoring. Epic may analyze usage and other trends to allow Epic to proactively suggest adjustments to enhance performance or avoid latent performance issues before they arise. Therefore, Epic may as part of the Maintenance Program monitor and collect Performance Data relating to Your use of the Program Property. Epic usually can efficiently collect this data by receiving automated e-mails from Your system and You and Epic agree to work together to establish this or other automated processes. You agree that Epic may use the Performance Data in any reasonable manner in connection with Epic’s operations, but will not disclose the Performance Data to others except in a manner that does not reasonably identify You as the source of the Performance Data. [***]

WARRANTY

 

  a.

General. Epic warrants that [***] during the Warranty Period, You notify Epic (in the manner specified in Section 19) that an Item of Program Property contains a Substantive Program Error, and such notice specifically refers to this Section or states that it is providing notice of a warranty problem and describes each Substantive Program Error, then Epic will either correct such Substantive Program Error or provide a Reasonable Workaround for such Substantive Program Error as provided in Section 8(c). Epic also will use its best efforts to correct any Program Errors other than Substantive Program Errors that You report to Epic [***] during the Warranty Period [***]

 

  b.

Responses to Warranty Service Requests. During the Warranty Period, Epic will respond to requests for warranty service as provided in Exhibit 8.

 

  c.

Cure Periods. Epic will have an initial cure period of [***] days after [***] to correct or provide a Reasonable Workaround for any Substantive Program Error that is reported to Epic [***] You will have an additional thirty days from receipt of the correction or Reasonable Workaround to notify Epic of either: (i) any Substantive Program Errors in such Item that were reported to Epic [***] but which You believe have not been cured by Epic; or (ii) any new Substantive Program Errors in such Item arising out of the correction or Reasonable Workaround. Such notice will be provided in the manner specified in Section 19, will specifically refer to this Section or state that it is providing notice of a warranty problem and will describe each Substantive Program Error. Epic will then have an additional cure period of fifteen days after such notification to correct or provide a Reasonable Workaround for any Substantive Program Errors.

 

  d.

Modified Code. If You select the fixed price and warranty option on the applicable Change Order or Budget Allocation, Epic also provides a warranty with respect to Substantive Program Errors in modified Code provided under that Change Order or Budget Allocation. Such warranty will have the same provisions as Sections 8(a) and 8(c), except that the warranty period will be the [***] day period after delivery of such

  modified code to You and Your remedy under Section 8(g) will relate solely to the modification and the fixed price under such Change Order or Budget Allocation.

 

  e.

Correction of Program Errors After Warranty Period. After the Warranty Period (as long as You continue to participate in the Maintenance Program), the correction of Program Errors (other than those for which You notified Epic [***] pursuant to Sections 8(a), (c) and (d)) will be governed by the terms of the Maintenance Program as provided in Section 7 rather than the warranty specified in this Section 8.

 

  f.

Limitations. In no event will Epic bear any responsibility for any errors or damages of any kind caused by or resulting from defects in the hardware [***] input errors, third party criminal acts or changes to the Program Property made by You [***] by anyone other than Epic [***] will relieve Epic of any and all obligations under this Section 8 and Section 9. [***]

  h.

Disabling Code. Epic warrants that the Program Property does not contain any Code designed by Epic to intentionally interfere with the normal operation of the Program Property after its First Live Use for the purpose of enforcing any of the provisions of this Agreement. After Your First Live Use of a particular Item of Program Property, Epic agrees that it will not disable Your use of such Item of Program Property for purposes of enforcing any provision of this Agreement without first obtaining an appropriate court order to do so.

 

  i.

Ownership. Epic warrants that it is the lawful owner of the Program Property, or, to the extent Epic is not the lawful owner of the Program Property, it has all rights necessary for it to license the Program Property to You under this Agreement. [***]

  l.

Power and Authority. Each party warrants that it has the corporate right, power, and authority to enter into and fulfill the obligations set forth in this Agreement.

 

      

[***]

 

  n.

NO OTHER WARRANTY. THE ABOVE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND TITLE, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE PROGRAM PROPERTY OR AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO EMPLOYEE OF EPIC OR ANY OTHER PARTY IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTY NOT IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

9.

TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE

 

  a.

General. As is the case with very complex computer software, the Program Property is likely to contain some errors. Both Epic and You must test for errors both in the Program Property and in any Updates as delivered. You are responsible for all

  final testing of the Program Property for Your production system, including any customized Code. You should also instruct Your employees and Affiliate Users using the Program Property to be vigilant in identifying Program Errors and in reporting any Program Errors detected to Epic both during the Warranty Period and thereafter. Any procedures, rules or guidelines for medical treatment incorporated into or provided with EpicCare or any other Items of the Program Property are provided as examples only, and You must test and validate that any such procedures, rules, or guidelines are both medically correct and in accordance with Your requirements and procedures.

 

  b.

Rejection. You may reject any Item of Program Property, but only if it contains a Substantive Program Error, by giving Epic explicit written notice of such rejection before the end of the Warranty Period for that Item of Program Property. Any notice of rejection must be provided to Epic in accordance with Section 19, contain a specific reference to this Section 9(b) or state that it is providing notice of a rejection, and describe each Substantive Program Error for which You are rejecting the Program Property. The same cure periods specified in Section 8(c) also apply to a cure under this Section 9(b). If an Item of Program Property is properly rejected and the Substantive Program Error is not cured within the applicable cure periods, then Your exclusive remedy will be as specified in Section 8(g) [***]. If an Item of Program Property is not properly and timely rejected as specified in this Section 9(b), then that Item of Program Property will be deemed to have been irrevocably accepted by You. Upon actual or deemed acceptance of an Item of Program Property, that Item will be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Agreement for the purposes of Sections 8 and 9.

 

10.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATING TO ANY SERVICES, SOFTWARE, REPORTS, OR OTHER

 

 

20


  MATERIALS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY EPIC TO YOU, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND [***] FOR THE SAKE OF ILLUSTRATION BUT NOT LIMITATION, THE FIRST SENTENCE OF SECTION 10(a)(i) WILL LIMIT DAMAGES CONSISTING OF MARKETING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS FEES AND EXPENSES IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH
  OF EPIC’S NON-DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS IN EXHIBIT 5.

 

  (ii)

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY, IN TOTAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEED THE GREATER OF [***] (IN EITHER CASE WHETHER THE LIABILITY ARISES UNDER OR RELATES TO [***]

 

  (iii)

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10(a) will not apply to [***] OR [***] (INCLUDING, IF YOU USE THE [***] OR OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT, [***]

 

  b.

Force Majeure. No liability will result to You or Epic from delay in performance or nonperformance caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of You or Epic including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, acts of a common enemy, third party criminal acts, civil disturbance, embargo, any law or governmental regulations or labor dispute (other than labor disputes between the non-performing party and its own labor force) (any such circumstances a “Force Majeure Event”), and the period of performance will be deemed extended to reflect such delay as agreed upon by the parties hereto. The affected party will keep the other party reasonably informed about the status of the event and use all reasonable efforts under the circumstances to resume timely performance. In the event a Force Majeure Event prevents either party from complying with its obligations under this Agreement in a manner that would otherwise be considered a material breach for more than sixty

 

 

21


  (60) days, and the other party then notifies the non-complying party that it is terminating the Agreement if such non-compliance is not remedied within sixty (60) days after such notice, and such non-compliance is not remedied within sixty (60) days after such notice, then the other party may terminate this Agreement upon notice to the non-complying party at the end of this period. This Section 10(b) will not excuse any delay in performance or nonperformance to the extent not caused by a Force Majeure Event.

 

  c.

Timing of Actions. Neither party will commence any action before an arbitrator or arbitrators (if this Agreement provides for arbitration) or in a court of law for any matter arising under this Agreement or otherwise regarding or in any way related to any Item of the Program Property or services provided to You by Epic more than [***] after the date the applicable cause of action first arises; except that any Claim for contribution, defense or indemnification arising out of a Claim from a third party with respect to any action or claim brought by such third party will be commenced no more than [***] after the date of actual knowledge of such third-party Claim. For purposes of a cause of action that arises under Sections 8(a), (c) or (d) or Section 9(b), the applicable cause of action will be considered to have first arisen upon the earlier of written notice from You of the applicable Substantive Program Error and the end of the Warranty Period for the applicable Item. The passage of any [***] period will be tolled during all informal escalation processes exercised by the parties pursuant to Section 21(b) that are in any way related to the dispute that gives rise to the cause of action, such tolling period not to exceed the lesser of (i) the number of days during which the informal escalation process occurred, such process being deemed to end upon the earlier of the date the last meeting or discussion in the informal escalation process occurred or the date the party bringing the claim refused to reasonably schedule further discussions pursuant to the informal escalation process, or (ii) [***]

 

11.

PROGRAM PROPERTY PROTECTIONS

 

  a.

General. You will not, and will not permit Your employees or agents, or any other person or party, to do any of the following:

  (i)

Reverse engineer any of the Program Property or any part thereof; or

 

  (ii)

Use the Program Property to create a second independently operating application or database using the Program Property so that any limitations on use, such as Your Licensed Volume, may be avoided (except as may be permitted for additional Production Directories if You pay applicable fees pursuant to Section 6(e)).

 

  b.

Copyrights and Trademarks. You agree not to remove, modify or diminish any Epic or third party trademarks or copyright or trademark notices contained in any Program Property or any Third Party Software and Data. To the extent practical, You further agree to affix and maintain the copyright and trademark notices of Epic on all permitted backup or multiple use copies made of the Program Property. If You customize the appearance of any Program Property in Your system (including Epic’s MyChart, EpicCare Link, PlanLink, Radar, OutReach, Welcome or Hyperspace), You agree to display Epic’s logos and other trademarks in a manner, style and location that conforms to the requirements specified in Epic’s then-current Documentation for such Program Property.

 

  c.

Confidentiality. You understand and agree that Epic Confidential Information (including the Program Property) contains certain confidential information protected by operation of law and this Agreement. Consistent with that understanding and to protect the rights of Epic, You agree that You will:

 

  (i)

Maintain in confidence any Epic Confidential Information; except that to the extent disclosure of Epic Confidential Information is required by law or court order, You may disclose Epic Confidential Information; provided that You provide Epic with prior written notice of such required disclosure and reasonably cooperate with Epic to limit such disclosure.

 

  (ii)

Limit access to the Program Property to Your Affiliate Users in the United States.

 

 

22


  (iii)

Store all copies of the Program Property in a secure place. You may create and use web-based and computer- based training curriculums to supplement the instructor-led training provided to end users. In providing web, computer, CD, DVD or other electronic access to materials containing descriptions of Epic software or its use, You will use Epic-approved security technology designed to ensure that access is provided only to the intended trainees and You will track access to such materials to ensure the access is limited to the intended trainees.

 

  (iv)

Either: (1) require any person given access to the Program Property to execute a written agreement (which may be Your standard employee agreement if it applies these protections to the Epic Confidential Information) requiring non-disclosure of Epic Confidential Information, and limiting the use of such information to uses within the scope of the employee’s duties; or (2) inform all of such persons that You are obligated to keep Epic Confidential Information (or generically any vendor’s confidential information) confidential and that it is Your policy to keep all such information confidential.

 

  (v)

If You discover that anyone who has access to any Program Property made available to You under this Agreement is assisting directly or indirectly in the development or enhancement of software that competes with, or is being developed to compete with, any Program Property, promptly discontinue such access to such person.

 

  (vi)

Notify Epic promptly and fully in writing of any person, corporation or other entity that You know has copied or obtained possession of or access to any of the Program Property without authorization from Epic.

 

  d.

Third Party Assistance. If You or any of Your Affiliates want a third party to provide assistance related to the use, implementation or maintenance of the Program Property (including without limitation business process outsourcing, staff augmentation, training, support or hosting) or otherwise want to provide it with access to Epic Confidential Information, You will not permit such third party to have access to the Program Property or other Epic Confidential Information unless such third party and any of its employees who have access have in place at the time of such access an agreement with Epic that at a minimum provides that such third party and employees will not develop, design or enhance or assist any other person or entity in developing, designing or

  enhancing any software that has or is intended to have a similar purpose to or overlapping functionality with, or that competes with or is intended to compete with, any software offered by Epic now or in the future, and that such third party will not hire current or recent employees of Epic customers who were involved in an active install for that customer or hire current or recent Epic employees. This Section 11(d) should not be construed as requiring an agreement that precludes such third party or its employees from providing implementation services for software that competes with any Epic software, as long as such third party and its employees do not assist in any way with the actual development, enhancement or design of the software as indicated in this Section 11(d).

 

12.

YOUR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

  a.

Confidentiality. Epic understands and agrees that Your Confidential Information (including Protected Information) contains certain confidential information protected by operation of law and this Agreement. Epic will not (i) disclose to any individual, entity, or other third party any of Your Confidential Information, except: (a) as required by law or court order (provided that Epic will provide You prior written notice of such required disclosure and reasonably cooperate with You to limit such disclosure) or (b) with Your consent; or (ii) use any of Your Confidential Information except in accordance with the exceptions in this Section 12(a) or in connection with the performance of Epic’s obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement.

 

  b.

Business Associate Exhibit. In order to address the requirements of certain regulations promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the parties agree to the terms of the Business Associate Exhibit that is attached as Exhibit 5 hereto.

 

13.

YOUR RIGHT TO TRANSFER THIS AGREEMENT

 

  a.

General. You may assign this entire Agreement either to any Owned Entity or pursuant to a complete assignment in conjunction with the transfer by sale of substantially all of Your assets to a successor organization if the Owned Entity or successor organization accepts in writing an assignment of this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of its terms and the Owned Entity or successor organization is not an Epic

 

 

23


  competitor. You will remain liable for Your obligations under this Agreement if the Owned Entity or successor organization fails to satisfy such obligations. You will not otherwise assign, transfer, sublicense or timeshare Your license or this Agreement to or with any other person, except as expressly provided in this Section 13 or in Section 14.

 

  b.

Divestiture. If, during the Term of this Agreement, an Owned Entity is no longer an Owned Entity by reason of sale, transfer, merger or otherwise (a “Divested Entity”), then at least thirty (30) days prior to the transfer, You will notify Epic in writing of the identity of the Divested Entity, the name of the entity purchasing or acquiring control of such entity (the “Purchaser”), if any, and its address, and the date of such transfer of control. You will also provide any additional information related to the transfer that is reasonably requested by Epic. For the avoidance of doubt, the identities of the Divested Entity and any Purchaser and any disclosed terms of such transaction shall be deemed Your Confidential Information unless otherwise excluded in any of clauses (a)-(e) of the definition of Your Confidential Information.

 

  (i)

Transition Services. In the case of a Divested Entity that had begun First Live Use of the Program Property prior to its divestment but that does not enter into a Standalone Agreement with Epic (defined in Section 13(b)(ii) below), at [***]

In the case of a Divested Entity that will transition to a new system or will enter into a Standalone Agreement with Epic, [***] For the sake of clarity, [***]

[***]

During any Transition Period, You agree that: (a) You will maintain full control over access to and use of the Program Property; (b) Your Divested Entity will acquire no rights to the Program Property except those necessary for the limited purpose of organizational transition activities; (c) Your obligations related to the Program Property, including without limitation Your responsibility for payment of maintenance and support fees, will remain unchanged; and (d) You will require that the Divested Entity complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and You agree that You are responsible for all of the Divested Entity’s activities in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation its access and use of the Program Property and related services.

Upon the expiration of any Transition Period, (x) the Divested Entity will no longer have rights to use the Program Property, or receive services from Epic, under this Agreement; (y) upon Epic’s request, You will acknowledge in writing that such Divested Entity’s rights to use the Program Property, and to receive services under this Agreement, have terminated and, if requested by Epic, You will use reasonable efforts to procure from the Divested Entity a written acknowledgement of the same; and (z) Your obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation Your responsibility for payment of maintenance and service fees, will continue and remain unchanged (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 13(b)(ii) below with respect to a prospective reduction in maintenance fees following a transfer of a portion of Your Licensed Volume to a purchaser of a Divested Entity).

USE OF PROGRAM PROPERTY BY AFFILIATES

 

  a.

General. You may provide any Affiliate with access to and the right to use the Program Property, subject to the terms and conditions below and elsewhere in this Agreement:

 

  (i)

To preserve Epic Confidential Information from competitors, You will not allow access to any individual or entity which licenses software to health care facilities (or any other potential competitor of Epic) without Epic’s prior consent.

 

  (ii)

You will provide access only to Affiliates, including employees, who reasonably require access to the Program Property in order to make proper use of the accessed Program Property in Your and Your Affiliate Users’ health care delivery operations (and only to the extent such access is so required).

 

  (iii)

You will grant access to a non-employee Affiliate only as an end user. You will not give any non-employee Affiliate access to any source or object code of the Program Property other than Workstation Code.

 

  (iv)

Any rights of Affiliate Users will be subject to all of the restrictions, limitations and conditions provided in this Agreement. You will have the same responsibility to Epic for the actions and omissions of any Affiliate User as You would have if they were Your actions or omissions.

 

 

25


  b.

Single Licensee.

 

  (i)

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement or in the applicable fee quote with respect to additional Production Directories or Licensed Volume, for purposes of construing the terms and conditions imposed by this Agreement, all Affiliate Users will be combined with You and treated as a single licensee. For example, but without limitation: (1) except as provided in the definitions of Volume and Licensed Volume in Appendix A, all Volume with regard to You or any Affiliate User will be aggregated for determining whether You have exceeded the Licensed Volume; (2) no additional copies of the Program Property will be provided to any Affiliate Users (except applicable Workstation Code); (3) all maintenance, training, installation, support, requests for customization and the like will be conducted through the responsible employees designated by You to contact Epic; and (4) You will be responsible for all payments to be made to Epic with regard to the activities of any Affiliate User, including without limitation any increases in license fees or maintenance fees attributable to the Affiliate User’s Volume and any services provided by Epic directly or indirectly to any Affiliate User.

 

  (ii)

Any termination of this Agreement or any license granted in this Agreement will also terminate the corresponding rights of any Affiliate User.

 

15.

INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

  a.

Intellectual Property Indemnification. Epic agrees to defend or settle, and to indemnify and to hold Your Indemnitees harmless from, any Claim brought against any of Your Indemnitees to the extent that: (1) it is a Claim of infringement or misappropriation of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret (excluding trade secrets provided by Your Personnel to Epic), or other intellectual property right, in each case enforceable in the United States; (2) it is based on the Program Property in the form supplied to You by Epic; and (3) it is not based on the use of the Program Property in combination with other hardware or software except to the extent the use of the Program Property alone would constitute an infringement or

  misappropriation [***] You will promptly notify Epic in writing of the Claim, promptly provide Epic with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to Epic exclusive control over its defense and settlement; provided, however, that [***] If such a Claim is brought by a third party, Epic may, at its sole option and expense, either:

 

  (i)

procure the right for You to continue to use the infringing Item of Program Property; or

 

  (ii)

modify or replace the infringing Item of Program Property or such portion thereof as is appropriate as long as such modified or replaced Program Property has substantially similar or better capabilities; or

 

  (iii)

modify, replace or remove the infringing Item of Program Property or such portion thereof as is appropriate such that the resulting Program Property has capabilities substantially similar to or better than the last non-infringing release (including but not limited to replacing the infringing Item with such prior release or version of such Item);

or, if Epic determines that none of the foregoing is technically feasible or commercially practicable,

 

  (iv)

modify the infringing Item of Program Property or such portion thereof as is appropriate to provide You with a product that may have less functionality but is non-infringing. Epic will use its best commercial efforts to minimize the elimination of functionality, and where commercially practicable to replace eliminated functionality with non-infringing substitute functionality or other workaround solutions. If there is a material reduction in functionality as a result of Epic’s use of the remedy in this Subsection, then You will have the option to terminate the license and Maintenance Program related to such Program Property; or, if Epic determines that none of the foregoing is technically feasible or commercially practicable,

 

 

26


  (v)

terminate Your license to the infringing Item of Program Property. Upon termination by either Epic or You, as applicable, in accordance with Subsection 15(a)(iv) or this Subsection 15(a)(v), You will cease use of the Program Property for which the license was terminated and will return such Program Property to Epic, Epic will repay to You the Attributed License Fee Paid for such Item of Program Property less depreciation calculated on a straight line basis over a ten (10) year period from the date of execution of this Agreement, the unpaid amount of the Total Term Payment Amount will be reduced by the Attributed License Fee Outstanding for that Item and the unpaid Perpetual License Conversion Fee will be reduced by the Attributed Perpetual License Conversion Fee Outstanding for that Item.

At Your option by notice to Epic at the same time that Your license to an infringing Item is terminated by Epic under Section 15(a)(v) or by You under Section 15(a)(iv) above, [***] and, upon such termination, such [***] will be treated in the same manner as the terminated infringing Item.

This Section 15(a) states the entire liability and obligation of Epic to Your Indemnitees with respect to infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights.

 

  b.

Clinical Products. The Program Property is a sophisticated tool for use only by trained personnel, and it is not a substitute for competent human intervention and discretionary thinking. Therefore, You and Your Personnel will do each of the following (collectively, the “Customer Responsibilities”):

 

  (i)

Enter information into the Program Property accurately and completely.

 

  (ii)

Read information displayed or transmitted by the Program Property accurately and completely.

 

  (iii)

Ensure that Your Personnel are trained on and operating the Program Property in accordance with the Documentation Manuals.

 

  (iv)

Be responsible for decisions in configuring the Program Property, including with respect to workflows and enabling or disabling features and functionality, and regarding Support and Other Materials, Third Party Products and other products and services in Your environment.

 

  (v)

Confirm the accuracy of life threatening information and important results that are accessed or stored through or in the Program Property in the same manner that such information and results would be confirmed or verified if they were in paper form and as would otherwise be confirmed or verified if Your Personnel were using applicable standards of good medical practice. For example, Your Personnel must verify allergies, current medications, relevant histories and problems with the patient and confirm questionable results (including lab pathology and radiology results) with the applicable department using applicable standards of good medical practice to no less a degree than if Your Personnel were using paper records.

 

  (vi)

Report to Epic promptly all Program Errors and suspected Program Errors and other problems related to the Program Property that Your Personnel know or should know could adversely affect patient care. If any of Your Personnel are alerted to such a problem, Your Personnel will immediately alert all of Your Personnel whom Your Personnel know or should know could be affected by the problem; educate Your Personnel about the problem, including affected workflows, known workarounds and potential impacts; take all measures reasonably likely to avoid or mitigate such impacts, including implementing additional safeguard procedures, deploying other available workflows or functionality and turning off the Program Property functionality related to the problem; and promptly install an Update that helps avoid or mitigate any impact on patient care promptly following the Update being made available.

 

 

27


  (vii)

Test the Program Property in Your environment before release into production (including validating all Support and Other Materials, Third Party Products and other products and services in Your environment), and You will not permit use until You have reasonably assured Yourself of accuracy, completeness and appropriateness for Your environment.

 

  (viii) 

Maintain disaster recovery and system unavailability policies and procedures for any systems related to Your operation and use of the Program Property that will permit You and Your Personnel to provide patient care in the event of a disaster or system unavailability, train Your Personnel on such policies and procedures and promptly utilize them if You encounter any event that results in unavailability for any such system.

 

  (ix)

Use the Program Property only in accordance with applicable standards of good medical practice.

While software such as the Program Property might improve the quality of service that Your Personnel offer to patients, many factors, including the provider-patient relationship, can affect a patient outcome and claims related to that outcome, and with intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion they affected an outcome. In light of the difficulties, complexities and uncertainties inherent in healthcare information technology and the patient care process, You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Epic Indemnitees from any Claim by or on behalf of any patient of Your Personnel, or by or on behalf of any other third party or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a patient, regardless of the cause (including Epic Indemnitee negligence, except as provided below), if such Claim in any way arises out of or relates to patient care or outcomes (including as may be affected by the operation of the Program Property).

Each party will notify the other as soon as reasonably practicable of any Claim of which it becomes aware that is reasonably likely to be subject to this Section 15(b). Upon notice of any such Claim, the parties agree to meet and confer in good faith as soon as reasonably practicable to cooperatively discuss and assess the Claim, underlying facts related to the Claim and potential defenses to and/or settlements of such Claim (taking into account each party’s privilege-related concerns).

TAXES

Except for Epic’s income and employment taxes all taxes (including sales, use, excise, property and other similar taxes) arising out of this Agreement (including the license, use, implementation and maintenance of the Program Property) will be Your responsibility.

You have advised Epic that none of the transactions related to this Agreement are exempt from all taxes. You agree to provide Epic with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the relevant tax authorities and documentation reasonably requested by Epic to substantiate any exempt status, confirm Your payment of taxes or facilitate Epic’s collection of taxes. You also agree to inform Epic in a timely manner by e-mail to ***@*** of any change in the tax status of any transactions relating to this Agreement.

TERM AND TERMINATION

 

  a.

General. This Agreement and the licenses granted hereunder will continue in effect until the end of the Term unless and until this Agreement or the applicable license is terminated solely as provided in this Section 17 or in Sections 8, 9 or 15(a) or as expressly provided in another section of this Agreement.

 

  b.

Termination Upon Bankruptcy, Insolvency and the Like. Subject to applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws, if either party (i) ceases the active conduct of business; (ii) voluntarily becomes subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under federal or state statute; (iii) has filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing; (iv) becomes insolvent or subject to direct control by a trustee, receiver, or similar authority; or (v) winds up or liquidates its business, voluntarily or otherwise, then the other party may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party.

If You continue to meet Your obligations under the Agreement, the parties agree that You, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of Your rights and elections under the Code, in the manner provided in the Code and subject to the requirements specified in the Code

  and the terms of this Agreement. The parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against Epic under the Code, if You continue to meet Your obligations under the Agreement, You shall be entitled to retain all of Your rights under this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the requirements of the Code and applicable law.

 

  c.

Termination Upon Material Breach; Cure Periods. A party (the “Notifying Party”) may terminate this Agreement for a material breach by the other party (the “Breaching Party”), but only if the Notifying Party first provides written notice of such breach to the Breaching Party as provided herein and the breach has not been cured within [***] days after the Breaching Party receives such notice. The notice will be provided in the manner specified in Section 19, will reference this Section 17(c) or state that it is a notice of material breach, and will describe each material breach of the Agreement in reasonably sufficient detail to permit the Breaching Party to cure the breach. Neither party may terminate this Agreement for a material breach until the foregoing periods have expired. Termination and cure periods with respect to the provisions of Sections 8, 9 and 15(a) are covered under such Sections and this Section 17(c) will not apply to those sections.

 

  d.

Effect of Termination.

 

  (i)

If this Agreement or the license to any Item of Program Property is terminated for any reason, then You will return all copies of the applicable Program Property (including the Code and the Documentation) to Epic, or destroy such copies and certify to Epic that such actions have occurred, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination or, if applicable, upon the expiration of the Termination Transition Period (as defined in Section 17(d)(ii)). In addition, upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason and following the end of the Termination Transition Period if any, Epic will [***] or [***] provided that to the extent such [***]

 

 

30


  [***] Epic will continue to extend the obligations of [***] set forth in this Agreement to such of [***] but will not be permitted to use such [***] for any purpose.

 

  (ii)

Transition Assistance. Except for termination of this Agreement as a result of Your material breach, if either party terminates this Agreement in accordance with the terms herein, Epic will, [***] and [***] The “Termination Transition Period” means the [***] period from the effective date of the termination if the Agreement is terminated for any other reason than Your uncured material breach. During any Termination Transition Period, You may use the Program Property in accordance with this Agreement and Your use as of the effective date of such termination, but You may not extend or increase the use of any Item of Program Property or receive any customizations, retrofits or other special changes to any Item of Program Property. In addition, during the Termination Transition Period, You may continue to take part in the Maintenance Program assuming full payment of all maintenance fees and other fees, but [***] You agree to provide Epic with reasonable advance written notice of any requests for cooperation, and the parties will in good faith

  seek to agree on a timeline for Epic to perform such services, taking into account Epic’s available resources, current development projects and commitments and the scope and nature of the services required. Epic will provide the services hereunder at Epic’s [***] for such services.

 

  (iii)

In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, without limiting Epic’s other remedies, You will remain liable to Epic for all Uncontested Amounts for fees and service charges accrued prior to such termination [***]

 

  e.

Survival. The provisions of Sections 2(c); 4(n)(iii) and (v); 5(c); 6 (to the extent applicable relating to use or obligations prior to termination [***] 7(h) (for Performance Data collected before termination and [***] 8(f),(g),(i) and (n); 10-12; 15-16; 17(b), (d) and (e); and 18-21 will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

18.

SOURCE CODE; EXTENSIONS

 

  a.

Delivery and Use. Epic will provide You with a copy of the source Code for the Program Property, as well as descriptions of proprietary data structures and program service calls that are not published for public use. You may use the source Code, proprietary data structures and non-public program service calls only for Your internal maintenance of the Program Property. You will not use, transform, modify or adapt any of the above for any other purpose or to assist in the development or functioning of any software that is competitive, in part or in whole, with any existing or reasonably anticipated Epic software. Likewise, since You have access to the source Code, descriptions of proprietary data structures and other Epic Confidential Information, You will not, without Epic’s prior written consent, develop or assist any third party in developing any software that competes with or potentially could compete with any Epic software unless none of Your employees or agents and no employees or agents of the third party, if applicable, who are involved in any manner in the development of such competitive software had access to or were otherwise provided, directly or indirectly, with

 

 

31


  information relating to any of the source Code or any descriptions of the data structures used by the Program Property and You have established and followed reasonable procedures designed to prevent such access. For such purposes, “development” includes without limitation not only writing software code or script, but participating in any way in the development of the code or script or functional specifications or requirements for the competing software or assisting anyone else with any of these activities. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if You make changes to the source Code [***] then all of Epic’s warranty, acceptance, support, and maintenance obligations will cease. [***] The development by You of Programming Points Code will not be considered by itself to be a change to the source Code. You agree that You will not modify the source Code in any way that will affect the Program Property’s ability to count Volume or the accuracy of such counts.

 

  b.

Extensions. Since Epic provides its source Code, data structures and other Epic Confidential Information to its customers, it is possible that customers could develop extensions to the Program Property and obtain intellectual property rights relating to such extensions. Epic needs to be able to continue to develop the Program Property for the benefit of all of its customers without being blocked by intellectual property rights arising from such extensions. Therefore, You agree neither You nor any Affiliate Users will enforce any Extension IP Right against Epic or its direct or indirect customers or sublicensees with respect to any software developed or licensed by Epic relating to or for use in conjunction with the Program Property. You also agree that neither You nor any Affiliate User will assign any such

  Extension IP Right to another party unless such third party agrees not to enforce such right against Epic or its direct or indirect customers or sublicensees as provided above.

 

  c.

Unlicensed Software. Epic’s various items of software are integrated for the benefit of Epic’s customers. For Your and Epic’s convenience, Epic may provide You with object and/ or source code for items of software that are not licensed under this Agreement. In such event, Epic will normally deactivate the object and source code for the unlicensed items. You agree that You will not modify the source code or configuration of such items or of any of the Program Property in a manner that would allow You or anyone else to use the unlicensed object or source code. You agree not to use such unlicensed source or object code. You also agree not to copy such unlicensed source or object code other than as is incidental and necessary for any properly licensed copying of the licensed Program Property. In addition, although such code is not Program Property under this Agreement, the non-Program Property code and any Documentation relating to it will also be subject to the restrictions on the use, confidentiality, and safekeeping under Section 11, the restrictions on copying of Program Property under Section 2(b), and the restrictions on source code in Section 18(a).

RECORDS AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

 

  a.

To the extent of applicability of 42 U.S.C. s 1395x(v)(1)(I) as amended from time-to-time, and regulations promulgated under such provision, Epic agrees that until the expiration of four (4) years after furnishing services and/or products under this Agreement, it will make available, upon written request of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the “Secretary”), or upon request of the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their duly authorized representatives, this Agreement and the books, documents, and records of Epic that are necessary to certify the nature and extent of the costs for which You seek reimbursement.

  b.

Epic further agrees that if it carries out any of the duties of this Agreement through a subcontract with a value or cost of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more over a twelve (12) month period, with a related organization, such subcontract will contain a clause that until the expiration of four (4) years after the furnishing of such services under such subcontract, the related organization will make available, upon written request of the Secretary or Comptroller General, or any of their duly authorized representatives, the subcontract, and books, documents, and records of such organization that are necessary to verify the nature and extent of such costs.

 

  c.

[***] As used herein, “Ineligible Person” means an individual or entity who (i) is currently excluded, debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible to participate in the Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS/TRICARE and other federal health care programs or in federal procurement or non-procurement programs; or (ii) has been convicted of a criminal offense that falls within the scope of 42 USC § 1320a-7(a) but has not yet been excluded, debarred, suspended or otherwise declared ineligible. [***]

 

21.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

  a.

Governing Law, Forum and Jurisdiction. The validity, construction and enforcement of this Agreement will be determined in accordance with the laws of the Jurisdictional State and any action (whether by arbitration or in court) arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the Jurisdictional State. If Epic institutes the applicable action, then the “Jurisdictional State” for such action and all

 

 

33


  counterclaims to such action will be the State of Tennessee, and the exclusive venue and forum for any such action will be the state and federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee. If You institute the applicable legal action, then the “Jurisdictional State” for such action and all counterclaims to such action will be the State of Wisconsin, and the exclusive venue and forum for such action will be the state and federal courts located in Dane County, Wisconsin. Epic and You consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the Jurisdictional State, provided the action is instituted in accordance with this Section 21(a).

 

  b.

Escalation. Both You and Epic wish to work together to assure an effective and efficient implementation and to resolve any issues relating to this Agreement as they may arise. The parties agree that, in the event of an alleged breach or other dispute, they will work together in good faith to resolve the matter internally by escalating it to higher levels of management prior to resorting to litigation, other than for disputes involving confidentiality, infringement of intellectual property rights, restrictions on use of the Program Property, or indemnification obligations (in any which case either party will be free to seek available remedies in any forum at any time, subject to Section 21(a)). The goal of the escalation procedures will be to resolve the specific issue as quickly as possible. At each stage of this process, the individuals occupying the positions listed below (or their functional equivalents, e.g., if titles have changed) will discuss and attempt to resolve the relevant issues. Escalation at each step of this process will occur based on a party’s determination that the existing level of involvement by the other party is not satisfactorily resolving the problem. The escalation path is as follows:

 

Epic:    You:
Implementation Executive or Technical Manager    Primary Contact
Director, Implementation or Director, Technical Support    Chief Information Officer

Vice President or

Division Lead

  

Executive Vice

President, General Counsel

President    Chief Financial Officer
Chief Executive Officer    Chief Executive Officer

 

  c.

Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be considered as severable, so that the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions; provided that no such severability will be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to either party.

 

  d.

No Waiver. The failure of either party to require the performance of any item or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement will not act as a bar to subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

 

  e.

Purchase Orders. Your purchase orders will be accepted by Epic for accounting convenience only. No terms or conditions contained in any purchase order will amend this Agreement, or will otherwise constitute an agreement between the parties.

 

  f.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes and incorporates all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings or agreements, and may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed between the parties hereto. Each party represents that the individual signing below on behalf of the party has the authorization to bind the party indicated to this Agreement.

General Subcontracting Provisions. Epic will be responsible to You for the work performed by the subcontractor to the same extent that Epic would be if it were Epic’s own work.

All source code, object code and associated documentation provided to You by the subcontractor pursuant to this Agreement will be owned by Epic and subject to all applicable confidentiality and use restrictions as if such code or documentation had been provided by Epic. Epic may provide the subcontractor with a copy of those sections of this Agreement with which the subcontractor must comply. If the subcontractor needs access to Your Confidential Information to perform the subcontracted services, Epic may provide such access if the subcontractor first agrees in writing to comply with all confidentiality provisions contained in this Agreement that apply to such information.

 

  (iv)

Assignment. Epic may assign this Agreement either to any Owned Entity or pursuant to a complete assignment in conjunction with the transfer by sale of substantially all of Epic’s assets to a successor organization if the Owned Entity or successor organization accepts in writing an assignment of this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of its terms. Epic will remain liable for Epic’s obligations under this Agreement if the Owned Entity or successor organization fails to satisfy such obligations.

BUSINESS ASSOCIATE EXHIBIT

Business Associate Addendum

This Business Associate Addendum (the “Addendum”) is incorporated into that certain License and Support Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between AHS Management Company, Inc. (“Covered Entity”) and Epic Systems Corporation (“Business Associate”).

WHEREAS, Business Associate may maintain, transmit create or receive data for or from Covered Entity that constitutes Protected Health Information (as defined at 45 CFR §160.103) to perform tasks on behalf of Covered Entity;

WHEREAS, Covered Entity is or may be subject to the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 1320d et seq. enacted by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”) and the implementing regulations set forth at 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164, Subparts A, C, D, and E as in effect on the effective date of the Agreement (“HIPAA Regulations”). As used herein, “PHI” refers to Protected Health Information maintained, transmitted, created or received by Business Associate for or from Covered Entity;

WHEREAS, to the extent required by the HIPAA Regulations and applicable state law, Business Associate is or may be directly subject to certain privacy and security obligations and penalty provisions of HIPAA, HITECH, the HIPAA Regulations and state law; and

WHEREAS, Business Associate owns and operates a web-based personal health records service, currently known as Lucy, (the “PHR Service”) that can be made available to patients of Covered Entity by way of a link provided on Covered Entity’s patient portal website. The PHR Service allows patients to initiate transfers of data from Covered Entity to the PHR Service.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Business Associate may use and disclose PHI only as expressly permitted by this Addendum or as required by law. Business Associate may use and disclose PHI as required to satisfy its obligations under the Agreement, provided that such use or disclosure of PHI would not violate the HIPAA Regulations if done by Covered Entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Business Associate shall not sell PHI or use or disclose PHI for purposes of marketing or fundraising in violation of 45 CFR §§ 164.502(a)(5)(ii) and 164.508(a)(3). Business Associate shall make reasonable efforts to limit its uses and disclosures of, and requests for, PHI (i) when practical, to the information making up a limited data set (as set forth at 45 CFR § 164.514(e)(2)); and (ii) in all other cases subject to the requirements of 45 CFR §164.502(b), to the minimum amount of PHI necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure or request. To the extent Business Associate is to carry out an obligation of Covered Entity under Subpart E of 45 CFR § 164 of the HIPAA Regulations, Business Associate shall comply with the requirements of the Subpart E of 45 CFR § 164 of the HIPAA Regulations that apply to Covered Entity in the performance of such obligation.

2. Business Associate agrees to use and maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect PHI from uses or disclosures not permitted by this Addendum. In addition, Business Associate agrees to comply with the applicable requirements of 45 CFR Part 164, subpart C of the HIPAA Regulations with respect to electronic PHI. Business Associate technical support representatives are currently trained to encrypt files that contain Protected Health

Information using [***] and to only share the passphrases or keys with those who need access to the information. [***]

3. To the extent Business Associate becomes aware of or discovers any use or disclosure of PHI in violation of this Addendum, any Security Incident (as defined at 45 CFR §164.304) , and any Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information (both as defined at 45 CFR §164.402), Business Associate shall promptly report such use, disclosure, incident, or Breach to Covered Entity. All reports of Breaches of Unsecured Protected Health Information shall be made as soon as reasonaly practicable and without unreasonable delay, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date on which Business Associate discovers the Breach. A Breach shall be treated as “discovered” by Business Associate as of the first day on which such breach is known to Business Associate or, by exercising reasonable diligence, would have been known to Business Associate. A Breach is deemed “known” to Business Associate if the Breach is known, or by exercising reasonable diligence, would have been known to any person, other than the person committing the Breach, who is an employee, officer, or other agent of Business Associate. Business Associate shall, unless Business Associate and Covered Entity agree otherwise, train its employees regarding its policies and procedures pertaining to use and disclosure of Protected Health Information and to the detection and reporting of Breaches of Unsecured Protected Health Information, which policies direct Business Associate’s employees to report any Breaches of Unsecured Protected Health Information directly to Business Associate’s Security Officer or through internal reporting processes put in place and monitored by Business Associate’s Security Officer. Business Associate’s report to Covered Entity shall include the information specified at 45 CFR § 164.410 to the extent known by Business Associate. Business Associate shall mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect known to it of a use or disclosure of PHI by Business Associate not permitted by this Addendum.

With regard only to Breaches of Unsecured Protected Health Information that occur in connection with the PHR Service affecting individuals with whom Business Associate has a relationship by virtue of the PHR Service, [***]

4. In accordance with 45 CFR §§ 164.308(b)(2) and 164.502(e)(1)(i), Business Associate shall ensure that each subcontractor or agent that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of Business Associate agrees in writing to be bound by restrictions, terms and conditions that are at least as restrictive as those that apply to Business Associate pursuant to this Addendum.

5. In accordance with 45 CFR §164.524 and within fifteen (15) days of a request by Covered Entity for access to PHI about an individual contained in a Designated Record Set (as defined at 45 CFR §164.501), Business Associate shall make available to Covered Entity such PHI. In the event that any individual requests access to PHI directly from Business Associate, Business Associate shall within ten (10) days of receiving such request forward the request to Covered Entity. Any denials of access to the PHI requested shall be the responsibility of Covered Entity.

 

-2-


6. If Business Associate maintains PHI in a Designated Record Set for Covered Entity, in accordance with 45 CFR §164.526 and within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a request from Covered Entity for the amendment of an individual’s PHI contained in a Designated Record Set (for so long as the PHI is maintained in the Designated Record Set), Business Associate shall provide such information to Covered Entity for amendment and incorporate any such amendments in the PHI. In the event a request for an amendment is delivered directly to Business Associate, Business Associate shall within ten (10) days of receiving such request forward the request to Covered Entity.

7. Except for disclosures of PHI by Business Associate that are excluded from the accounting obligation as set forth at 45 CFR §164.528 or regulations issued pursuant to HITECH, Business Associate shall record for each disclosure the information required to be recorded by covered entities pursuant to 45 CFR §164.528. In accordance with 45 CFR §164.528 and within twenty (20) days of notice by Covered Entity to Business Associate that it has received a request for an accounting of disclosures of PHI, Business Associate shall make available to Covered Entity the information required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 7. In the event a request for an accounting is delivered directly to Business Associate, Business Associate shall within ten (10) days of receiving such request forward the request to Covered Entity.

8. At Covered Entity’s or HHS’ request, Business Associate shall make its internal practices, books and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI available to HHS for purposes of determining Covered Entity’s compliance with the HIPAA Regulations.

9. Business Associate is not authorized to use or disclose PHI in a manner that would violate the HIPAA Regulations if done by Covered Entity, provided that Business Associate may:

a. use the PHI for its proper management and administration and to carry out its legal responsibilities;

b. disclose PHI for its proper management and administration and to carry out its legal responsibilities, provided that disclosures are required by law, or Business Associate obtains reasonable assurances from the recipient that the PHI will remain confidential and used or further disclosed only as required by law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the recipient, and the recipient notifies Business Associate of any instances of which it is aware in which the confidentiality of the information has been breached;

c. use and disclose PHI to report violations of law to appropriate Federal and State authorities, consistent with 45 CFR § 164.502(j)(1);

d. aggregate the PHI in its possession with the PHI of other covered entities that Business Associate has in its possession through its capacity as a business associate to other covered entities, provided that the purpose of such aggregation is to provide Covered Entity with data analysis relating to the health care operations of Covered Entity; and

e. use PHI to create de-identified information, provided that the de-identification conforms to the requirements of 45 CFR § 164.514(b).

10. OMITTED.

11. This Addendum shall be effective as of the effective date of the Agreement and shall remain in effect until termination of the Agreement. Covered Entity may terminate this Addendum and the provisions of the Agreement that require or permit Business Associate to access Protected Health Information (or perform any other activity that would make Business Associate meet the definition of a Business Associate provided in 45 CFR § 160.103) effective immediately if it determines that Business Associate has materially breached this Addendum and failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of being notified by Covered Entity of the breach. If Covered Entity reasonably determines that cure of such breach is not possible, Covered Entity may terminate this Addendum and the provisions of the Agreement that require or permit Business Associate to access Protected Health Information effective immediately upon written notice to Business Associate. The parties understand and agree that termination of this Addendum by Covered Entity due to Business Associate’s uncured material breach shall constitute a material breach by Business Associate under the Agreement.

12. Upon termination of this Addendum, Business Associate shall either return or destroy all PHI that Business Associate still maintains in any form. Business Associate shall not retain any copies of such PHI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that it is not feasible to return or destroy PHI, Business Associate may retain such PHI, provided that the terms and provisions of this Addendum shall survive termination of this Addendum and Business Associate shall only use or disclose such PHI solely for such purpose or purposes which prevented the return or destruction of such PHI. If the provisions of the Agreement that require or permit Business Associate to access Protected Health Information are terminated pursuant to any provision in Section 11 above, then the maintenance program under the Agreement will also terminate. Upon such termination, Business Associate will [***] Except as provided herein, any termination of the maintenance program or provisions of the Agreement that permit Business Associate to access Protected Health Information will not affect the parties’ other obligations or rights under the Agreement.

13. Nothing in this Addendum shall be construed to create any rights or remedies in any third parties or any agency relationship between the parties. The terms and conditions of this Addendum shall override and control any conflicting term or condition of the Agreement with regard to PHI. All non-conflicting terms and conditions of the Agreement (including without limitation Section 10) shall remain in full force and effect.

14. If the HIPAA Regulations are amended in a manner that would alter the parties’ rights or obligations as set forth in this Addendum, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Addendum seeking to permit both parties to comply with the HIPAA Regulations.

15. Covered Entity does not intend to send unencrypted PHI to Business Associate in any form, including via email or on mobile devices such as USB drives. Should Covered Entity send any PHI that has not been encrypted, Covered Entity agrees that Business Associate is not responsible for any damages arising out of or relating to unencrypted PHI that Covered Entity sends to Business Associate in any form.

16. The respective rights and obligations of Business Associate under Section 12 of this Addendum survive the termination of this Addendum.

EXHIBIT 14

Epic Travel Policies

General

Before traveling to Your facilities, Epic must receive written authorization from You for the travel as provided in the Agreement. Epic will complete a travel authorization form which, unless agreed otherwise, will include the names of everyone who will be billing his or her travel expenses to You, the on-site dates for the personnel, and an estimate for all expenses. At Your option, You may approve a blanket travel authorization rather than an individual travel authorization for each trip. A blanket travel authorization includes a range of trips, reducing the number of travel authorizations submitted to You for approval. Epic will, where possible and in coordination with You, use reasonable efforts to plan its trips in sufficient enough time as available to pre-book fourteen days in advance to use economy flights. The following document outlines Epic’s current guidelines that it may revise from time to time.

Certain Reimbursable Expenses

Transportation:

Air: Coach-class seats generally are to be booked. Optional upgrades will not be reimbursed. Flights are chosen based on price and schedule. Epic will choose the most cost effective flight that otherwise satisfies its booking criteria (e.g. no double connections, fits any reasonable time constraints). If a charter would be of equal cost to or less expensive than commercial airfare due to the number of traveling staff, Epic may use a charter.

Ground: You will reimburse Epic for tolls, parking fees, a standard amount for mileage to and from the outbound airport, airport shuttle service, and taxi fares. Personal car mileage is based on the IRS set rate.    Epic will normally rent cars from a national car rental chain to take advantage of its national discounted rates whenever feasible. Generally, Epic rents cars that will comfortably accommodate 3 or 4 employees with luggage and laptop computers rather than renting vehicles for each employee. Epic employees will make reasonable efforts to refuel rental cars prior to returning the cars.

Accommodations: You will reimburse Epic for the single occupancy cost of a standard room at an Epic standard hotel. If You have corporate discounts with preferred hotels that meet Epic standard hotel accommodations, Epic’s travel department will work with You to have Epic travelers stay at such hotels. In the event lodging at such a hotel or any other approved hotel is not available, travelers are expected to make reasonable efforts to utilize lodging with similar amenities and rates. Epic standard hotels are hotels that serve business travelers with suitable internet connections, business centers, safety (internally and in the surrounding locale), cleanliness, on-site or nearby food service, and on-site or nearby gathering areas to accommodate groups for work-related meetings, as well as short commuting distances and sufficient vacancies to accommodate the Epic staff on that trip.

Meals and Incidental Expenses. Epic’s current internal policies prohibit reimbursement for alcohol. Business-related expenses such as meals, cabs, tips, tolls, vending, phone, Internet, etc. will be reviewed by Epic’s accounting department for accuracy and be reimbursable. Employees are expected to exercise good judgment when leaving tips. Generally, a sensible tip of 15-20% is appropriate and will be reimbursable.

Non-Reimbursable Expenses

You will not reimburse Epic for the following expenses:

 

   

Hotel movies

 

   

Entertainment


   

Sightseeing

 

   

Alcoholic beverages

 

   

Child or pet care

 

   

Damages to an employee’s personal vehicle

 

   

Lost or stolen funds or personal property

 

   

Parking tickets, speeding tickets, etc.

 

   

Travel insurance or rental car insurance offered by rental car companies

 

   

Insurance in connection with personal automobiles

 

   

Hotel health club memberships

 

   

Laundry service (unless Epic staff is on site for six consecutive days or more)

 

   

Personal services and personal supplies

 

   

Meals in Madison or the Madison area (other than at the Madison airport)

 

   

Any expense which is not bona fide for federal income tax purposes

Documentation of Travel Expenses

Epic travelers generally are required to provide Epic with receipts for their travel expenses. Lodging receipts should include the name and location of the lodging, dates of stay and separate amounts for charges such as meals. Meal receipts should include the date, location, business purpose, and name of the person. On the occasion a receipt is lost or misplaced, Epic’s accounting department will obtain documentation from the traveler for the applicable expenses. Epic’s accounting department will monitor these instances to help keep them to a minimum.

Sharing Expenses with Other Organizations

Occasionally, it may be possible to combine travel to Your site with travel to or from another Epic customer site, and in such case, expenses can be shared with the other organizations. Epic employees are responsible for seeking reimbursement for expenses payable by others. If an Epic employee is taking a trip payable jointly by You and another entity, You will reimburse Your share of the actual expenses necessary for Your business. In no case may the reimbursement to the Epic employee from all sources exceed the total expenses incurred by the employee.

Care Everywhere Addendum

The following provisions apply to Your use of Care Everywhere to exchange patient information with Epic systems of other Care Everywhere Customers (as that term is defined in the Rules of the Road) and to exchange basic continuity of care information meeting the supported form with non-Epic systems, except as otherwise noted below. For the sake of clarity, the subset of Care Everywhere functionality supporting such exchanges between Epic systems was previously referred to as “Care Epic” and the subset of Care Everywhere functionality supporting such exchanges between Epic and non-Epic systems was previously referred to as “Care Elsewhere.” References to Care Epic or Care Elsewhere in the Rules of the Road and Governing Council Procedures will be read in that context.

4.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY

 

  a.

The Sublicensed Software and related materials (including, without limitation, the System Documentation) are and shall remain, the sole property of InterSystems or one or more of its affiliates. No right to print or copy, in whole or in part, any such Sublicensed Software, System Documentation or related materials is granted hereunder except as herein expressly provided. The Sublicensed Software is licensed for a specific Platform (a “Platform” is a family of computers that use the same operating system and have a software compatible CPU instruction set and architecture; Platform information is available on the InterSystems’ website). Except in the case of Platform Independent Licenses, a transfer fee is charged by InterSystems if the license is transferred from one Platform to another.

 

  b.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE USER AGREES NOT TO (i) DECOMPILE, DISASSEMBLE OR REVERSE ENGINEER THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR (ii) USE OR DISCLOSE OR DIVULGE TO OTHERS ANY DATA OR INFORMATION RELATING TO THE LICENSED SOFTWARE AND/OR THE TECHNOLOGY, IDEAS, CONCEPTS, KNOW-HOW AND TECHNIQUES EMBODIED THEREIN.

 

3


  c.

The obligations of confidentiality and non-use described in Section 4(b) above shall not be deemed to include disclosure or other use of such data or information to the extent that the User can prove the same is or becomes publicly known within the public domain (other than by acts attributable to the User or any of its officers, agents, shareholders of privately-held companies, employees or representatives). Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain by reason of the general licensing and other commercial disposition of the Sublicensed Software by InterSystems in the ordinary course of its business. The existence of a copyright notice shall not cause, or be deemed or construed as causing, the Sublicensed Software or System Documentation to be published copyright work or to be in the public domain.

 

  d.

Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the User or any of its officers, agents, shareholders, employees or representatives from:

 

  (i)

using his or its general technical skills when not otherwise inconsistent with the terms hereof; or

 

  (ii)

disclosing data or information pursuant to any enforceable administrative or judicial order, provided, however, that the User first notifies InterSystems of the entry or existence of such order and of the User’s intention to comply with its terms. Data or information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain solely by reason of any such order.

 

  e.

The User further agrees:

 

  (i)

except for back-up security purposes, not to copy, reproduce or duplicate, or allow to be copied, reproduced or duplicated, in whole or in part, the Sublicensed Software, System Documentation or any related materials without the prior written consent of InterSystems;

 

  (ii)

not to provide or otherwise make available any Sublicensed Software, System Documentation or related materials in any form to any other person or organization, without the prior written consent of InterSystems; and

 

  (iii)

that it will take appropriate action with its officers, agents, shareholders, employees or representatives, by instruction, agreement or otherwise, to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement with respect to use, copying, modification, and protection and security of the Sublicensed Software, System Documentation and related materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the User shall in any event devote the same degree of care to protecting the Sublicensed Software and System Documentation as it devotes to the protection of its own confidential and proprietary information.

 

  f.

In the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section, InterSystems shall, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, be entitled to a temporary or permanent decree or order restraining and enjoining such breach and the User shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law, it being hereby expressly acknowledged and understood that damages at law will be an inadequate remedy in the event of such a breach or threatened breach.

 

4


  g.

If, having complied with the foregoing provisions of this Section, the User has actual notice of any unauthorized possession, use or knowledge of any part of the Sublicensed Software or physical embodiment thereof, or of the System Documentation or any other information made available pursuant to this Agreement by anyone else other than persons authorized by this Agreement to have such possession, use or knowledge, the User agrees to notify InterSystems promptly of the circumstances surrounding such unauthorized possession, use or knowledge.

 

  h.

The User shall not remove or destroy any proprietary markings or proprietary legends placed upon or contained within the Sublicensed Software or any related materials or System Documentation in the User’s possession.

 

  i.

Subject to other restrictions contained herein, User shall have the right to grant access to the Sublicensed Software to its employees. In addition, the Sublicensed Software may also be used, solely to run Epic’s Program Property (and not to develop or run other applications), by other organizations to whom the User provides access to Epic’s Program Property, unless the providing of such access is the primary relationship between the User and other said organizations.

 

  j.

User shall use the Sublicensed Software only to run the Epic Program Property or applications developed by the User to be run in conjunction with the Epic Program Property, but the primary use must be to run the Epic Program Property.

 

5.

  1.3.2

environments such as Test, Release, and Train (whether created as shadows or otherwise), in which no useful, production use of the SOFTWARE occurs, are non-production environments;

 

  1.3.3

a shadow environment in which the SOFTWARE is used for real-time (or near real time) data access and reporting purposes (i.e., one which has the purpose or effect of load-balanced reporting) requires appropriate licensing as provided in paragraph 1.2.
