New Software. IT&S may, in its sole discretion, migrate to new Software (“New Software”) to replace any IT&S Software or Third Party Software which shall be offered to Customer by IT&S at a price to be determined as set forth below at the time of such offering; provided, however that the New Software (1) shall provide substantially all of the functionality as the Software that it replaces and (2) shall be suitable for use in Customer’s distributed environment and shall be implemented in a manner that permits it to function effectively in Customer’s distributed environment (i.e., shall not require a centralized approach). * Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the Commission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, IT&S shall make available to Customer any and all Software or other developments that are offered generally to other IT&S customers, including HCA Entities. Such Software and developments will be provided to Customer on the same schedule that they are provided to other IT&S customers, including HCA Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IT&S shall have no obligation to provide Software or developments where such Software or developments are licensed from third parties who refuse, after good faith requests by IT&S, to allow such provision of their products. If Customer elects not to implement the New Software, IT&S shall continue to support the Software that it was intended to replace during the Section 3(d) Period (as defined below) with the fees and charges not to exceed the fees and charges determined in accordance with Schedule B this Agreement and Customer may elect to continue to use the old Software for some or all of the Section 3(d) Period. The Section 3(d) Period shall be the longer of (A) * (*) months after the initial notification to Customer by IT&S of its final decision to migrate to New Software or (B) * (*) months after all of the HCA Entities have fully implemented the New Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the change to New Software is due to either the full discontinuation of support of any Third Party Software (without a migration path to a new version or replacement software that is both commercially reasonable and fits within IT&S’s strategic plan as documented in its annual plans and discussed in its quarterly meetings attended by a Customer representative) or the termination or non-renewal of any Third Party Software other than as a consequence of breach by IT&S (each a “Complete Sunset”), the Section 3(d) Period shall end when the vendor of such Third Party Software stops providing support for it or when the license terminates or expires. IT&S shall notify Customer as soon as IT&S knows of any Complete Sunset and shall assist Customer with transition as requested by Customer. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to Software provided by MEDITECH, Inc. In the event that IT&S migrates to New Software to replace such MEDITECH software, IT&S shall continue to support the MEDITECH software through the then-current term of this Agreement plus any Wind-Down period. Customer may also at any time elect to use software not provided by IT&S instead of the New Software regardless of whether it has elected to continue use of the old Software for some or all of the Section 3(d) Period. IT&S shall, if requested by Customer, provide Additional Services (for which additional amounts may be charged pursuant to Section 3(a)) to Customer to assist with the transition to such other software and/or interfaces between the Services provided by IT&S hereunder and the other software selected by IT&S for use instead of the New Software. Following initial notification to Customer by IT&S of its final decision to migrate to New Software, IT&S shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide the following information in order to facilitate Customer’s transition decision, which shall be provided to IT&S within twelve (12) months of such initial notification: (i) the functionality of the New Software compared to the Software that it shall replace, (ii) the migration process and required training, (iii) preservation of Customer Data created or maintained by the old Software and how such pre-existing Customer Data may be accessed by and used with the new Software, (iv) any possible adverse impact on the SLOs or SLAs then in effect and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, (v) any additional training, hardware, communications, software or data that will be required, including any increase in direct or indirect costs to Customer that may result from the change and (vi) all costs of use of the New Software (consistent with the following paragraph). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may at any time during the Term elect to implement the New Software and the Parties shall then work together to develop a plan for implementation on a mutually agreed timetable. IT&S shall promptly update the information listed above if it changes in any material respect or if additional information is developed or obtained by IT&S that is different from or relevant to the information listed above in any material respect. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith with respect to whether the Section 3(d) Period should be extended or other action should be taken in order to minimize any adverse consequences to Customer that resulted from Customer’s reliance on the information listed above that is subsequently changed, corrected or supplemented. The charges for the New Software shall not exceed the reasonable, documented and quantifiable cost of Customer’s use of the New Software to the extent that such cost is incremental above the cost that IT&S has incurred or will incur for use of the New Software by IT&S, all HCA Entities and all other customers of IT&S. For example, if the New Software is Third Party Software with license fees based on the number of users, the cost to Customer hereunder shall be only the additional license fees due with respect to the number of employees designated by Customer to use the New Software and other types of incremental costs, as applicable. In addition, the Base Fees otherwise due with respect to the functionality that the New Software replaces shall no longer be charged if Customer elects to implement the New Software. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any charges for implementation of the New Software or related expenses shall not exceed the rates for professional services set forth on Schedule C.
