RECITALS

Developer has created and offers for license various downloadable applications and related on-line services for implementing secure messaging for the health care industry (collectively, the “Mediprocity Services”) which includes "SFO".

Customer, by separate agreement, has purchased licenses to access and use the Mediprocity Services with certain customizations to the Mediprocity Services, and Customer desires to retain Developer for future customizations of the Mediprocity Services, all on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1. Services. Customer hereby retains Developer to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform software development services to implement customizations, modifications, alterations, or additions to the Mediprocity Services (collectively, the "Services") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall govern all Services and resulting Work Product (as defined below) created to date by Developer for Customer, all of which shall also be considered Work Product developed via the Services under this Agreement. All future Services and resulting Work Product shall be described on a fully executed written Statement of Work referencing this Agreement (each, a “SOW”). All SOW's are incorporated into this Agreement and made a part thereof, and are subject to its terms. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any SOW, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Developer may subcontract any of the Services, provided that all such subcontractors shall be subject to all non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations of this Agreement and Developer shall be responsible for the performance of all obligations hereunder by any such subcontractor. The subject matter of this Agreement is the Services only, and Customer’s access to and use of the Mediprocity Services, including any Work Product embodied or made available therein, shall be governed by a separate agreement of the parties with respect thereto.

2. Project Management. Each party shall designate a project manager in the applicable SOW as such party's primary point of contact for day-to-day communications, consultation, and decision-making regarding the Services in such SOW. Each such project manager shall be responsible for providing all weekly consents and approvals on behalf of such party under this Agreement. If either party's project manager ceases to be employed by such party or such party otherwise wishes to replace its project manager, such party shall promptly name a new project manager by written notice to the other party.

3. Changes. Either party may, at any time during the Term, request in writing changes to a SOW. The parties shall evaluate and, if agreed, implement all such changes in accordance with the change management procedures set forth in the applicable SOW or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. No changes will be effective unless and until memorialized in a written change order signed by both parties.

4. Invoicing and Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable SOW, Developer shall provide all Services on a time and materials basis at the then-prevailing hourly rates of its employees and subcontractors. Developer will provide Customer monthly invoices identifying the time worked and Customer shall pay all undisputed amounts within 30 days after the invoice date. Developer shall invoice hourly work at increments of not more than 0.25 hours. All amounts shall be paid in U.S. dollars. Any amounts not disputed in writing within 30 days after the invoice date are conclusively deemed accepted. Customer shall reimburse Developer for any out-of-pocket costs or expenses. Customer will also pay monthly recurrent fees for use of Mediprocity Services. Failure by Customer to pay any past due amounts is a material breach.

5. Term. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues on month-to-month 30 day term with a 30-day notice to quit. This Agreement will auto-renew every month unless notified in writing with at least 30 days notice. Each SOW shall remain in effect from the effective date set forth therein until the end of the project term set forth therein unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 5. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing at least 30 days’ written notice to the other; provided, however, that the initial term is completed or notice has been given prior to another term renewal. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any SOW for cause if any breach by the other Party remains uncured more than 30 days after receipt of written notice thereof. Customer may terminate any SOW for convenience and incur no further obligation with respect thereto at any time by providing written notice of such termination for convenience to Developer and: (a) with respect to any fixed-fee project, paying a kill fee equal to 25%of such fixed-fee amount; or (b) with respect to any hourly project, paying for all work performed through receipt by Developer of such notice, whether or not invoiced. In the event of any termination or expiration for any reason, the rights or obligations of the parties in this Agreement that, by their nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, including but not limited to: Section 8, Section 9, Section 12, Section 13, Section 15, Section 16, and Section 19.

6. Customer Obligations. Customer shall: (a) perform all obligations identified as customer responsibilities in the applicable SOW; (b) provide any Customer Materials (as defined herein) and such other resources as may be specified in the applicable SOW; (c) participate in all meetings scheduled in, or in accordance with, the applicable SOW; (d) provide all consents, approvals, exception notices, and other communications specified in the applicable SOW or otherwise required under this Agreement; and (e) provide all cooperation and assistance Developer reasonably requests to enable Developer to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Following receipt of a rejection notice in compliance with Section 7.1, Developer shall attempt to reproduce each Nonconformity and use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy all Nonconformities that can be reproduced.

This process shall be repeated until Customer accepts the Work Product; provided, however, if Developer is unable to remedy a material Nonconformity after two remediation attempts or it is, in Developer’s judgment, impossible or impracticable to remedy the Nonconformity, Developer may terminate the applicable SOW unless Customer, in its discretion, accepts the nonconforming Work Product as-is.
