Common use of Provider-Directed Changes to Existing Services Clause in Contracts

Provider-Directed Changes to Existing Services. J&J may, from time to time, make changes in the manner of providing a Service (i) if J&J is making similar changes in performing the same or substantially similar service for itself or its Affiliates or (ii) to the extent required for the provision of such Service to be in compliance with applicable Law; provided, however, that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.02(e) or in Exhibit A hereto, any such changes may not decrease the scope, Service Period, nature, quality or level of any such Service or increase the Service Fee for any such Service; provided, further, that if any such changes actually increase the cost of providing such Service, J&J may increase the Service Fee to the extent of such increase in cost. For the avoidance of doubt, if changes in the manner of providing a Service are required for the provision of such Service to be in compliance with applicable Law, the provisions of Section 5.02 shall apply with respect to such Service until and unless J&J effects such changes.
