authorized to use the IMPAC Product only on Designated CPUs at the

Customer shall promptly notify IMPAC of, and shall adequately

Section 5.1 at no charge to Customer. IMPAC does not warrant that
any IMPAC Product is error-free or that its use will be
uninterrupted. IMPAC shall not be obligated to remedy any IMPAC

in this Section 2.1.7 do not apply to any IMPAC Product which has
been; (i) altered, except by IMPAC or in accordance with IMPAC’s
written instructions; (ii) used in conjunction with any product
other than the Designated CPUs or Other Products; or (iii) damaged

ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH, THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF

The purchase and license of such Other Products shall be subject to
and in accordance with the standard terms and conditions of purchase
and license under the standard agreements of the Third Party
Suppliers, copies of which have been supplied to Customer and are
incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. Customer agrees to
execute and deliver to IMPAC all agreements required to be executed
by Third Party Suppliers. Customer acknowledges that IMPAC is not
authorized to modify, amend, or supplement, and has not modified,
amended, or supplemented, any term or condition of any Third Party
Supplier’s standard agreement. IMPAC assigns, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all warranties, maintenance and
support obligations, or other benefits supplied by a Third Party
Supplier under its standard agreement to Customer, and authorizes
and appoints Customer to enforce, in its name and at its own
expense, any warranty, maintenance or support obligation, or other
benefit which may be made against the Third Party Supplier, but
IMPAC assumes no obligation as to the extent or enforceability
thereof.
2.2.2. DISCLAIMER CUSTOMER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IMPAC IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER OR
SUPPLIER OF THE OTHER PRODUCTS SUPPLIED BY THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS AND
IMPAC ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PERFORMANCE OR USE OF SUCH
PRODUCTS. IMPAC, NOT BEING THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER OF THE OTHER
PRODUCTS, HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION,
WARRANTY OR COVENANT, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WITH RESPECT TO THE
DESIGN, CONDITION, DURABILITY, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR USE OR
MERCHANTABILITY OF OTHER PRODUCTS IN ANY RESPECT. AS BETWEEN IMPAC
AND CUSTOMER, THE OTHER PRODUCTS SHALL BE ACCEPTED AND PURCHASED OR
LICENSED BY CUSTOMER "AS-IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY BY IMPAC. CUSTOMER
AGREES TO SETTLE ALL CLAIMS DIRECTLY WITH THE APPROPRIATE THIRD
PARTY SUPPLIER AND WILL NOT ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIMS AGAINST IMPAC.
3. Delivery and Acceptance

delivered on or before the anticipated delivery date and to the site
specified on the cover page. In the event the anticipated delivery
date is not specified on the cover page, IMPAC shall provide
Customer with written notification of a mutually agreed upon
anticipated delivery date prior to installation. In the event
Customer desires to change the anticipated delivery date, Customer
shall so advise IMPAC in writing and shall pay any delay charges
assessed by IMPAC or Third Party Supplier. Upon request, IMPAC shall
advise Customer of the amount of such delay charges. Delivery
charges shall be paid by Customer. IMPAC will ship the Products to
Customer via a method and carrier selected by IMPAC unless Customer
specifies otherwise.
3.2. Delays IMPAC shall not be liable
for any damages or penalty for delay in delivery or for failure to
give notice of delay including, but not limited to, delays in
transportation and delays in delivery by Third Party Suppliers or
IMPAC’s other vendors.
3.3. Acceptance Customer shall inspect
the IMPAC Product promptly upon receipt of delivery. Unless Customer
objects in writing within five (5) business days after first
clinical use, completion of on-site training, or remote
installation, whichever is applicable or occurs first, Customer
shall be deemed to have accepted the IMPAC Product as of the date of
such first clinical use, completion of on-site training, or remote
installation ("Acceptance"). All claims for damages, errors, or
shortages in the IMPAC Products shall be made by Customer in writing
within such five (5) business day period.
4. Purchase Price, License Fees, and
Taxes
4.1. Purchase Price and License Fees
IMPAC will invoice Customer for the purchase price and license fees
for all Products, due on Acceptance of the Products, less any
deposit as specified on the cover page. In the event the Products
are shipped in installments, Customer shall be invoiced separately
for each installment. All Product purchase prices or license fees
are F.O.B. IMPAC’s factory. All payments shall be due and payable on
Customer’s receipt of an invoice from IMPAC. All payments shall be
made in U.S. dollars. IMPAC reserves the right to impose an interest
charge not exceeding one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month, or
fraction thereof, for failure to make a payment within thirty (30)
days of Acceptance date. Customer’s obligation to pay all accrued
charges shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
4.2. Taxes and Other Charges In
addition to all charges specified in this Agreement, Customer shall
pay or reimburse IMPAC for all federal, state, local or other taxes
not based on IMPAC’s net income or net worth including, but not
limited to, sales, use, occupational and property taxes, or amounts
levied in lieu thereof, based on charges payable under this
Agreement or based on the Products, its use or any services
performed hereunder, whether such taxes are now or hereafter imposed
under authority of any federal, state, municipal, or other taxing
jurisdiction. Customer shall also pay or reimburse IMPAC for all
delivery, transportation, insurance, and similar out-of-pocket
charges incurred by IMPAC which shall be separately set forth on
IMPAC’s invoice to Customer.
4.3. Security Interest IMPAC shall
retain and is granted a purchase money security interest in each of
the Products, and in any replacement, addition, or proceeds, to
secure payment of the license fee until paid in full. If IMPAC so
requests, Customer agrees to file this Agreement as a Financing
Statement in any jurisdiction IMPAC deems necessary or advisable.
5. Maintenance and Support
5.1. Maintenance and Support by IMPAC
5.1.1. Maintenance and Support
Services for IMPAC Products Subject to the terms, conditions and
fees set forth in Section 5, IMPAC will provide Customer with the
maintenance and support services specified in this Section for the
IMPAC Products. IMPAC will; (i) install IMPAC Products and provide
initial training for IMPAC Products at the Customer site(s)
specified on the cover page; (ii) provide such assistance as is
necessary to cause the IMPAC Product to perform substantially in
accordance with its Documentation by providing a suitable "fix,"
"patch," or "work around" for the problem or a statement that an
appropriate "fix" will be included in a future release of the IMPAC
Product, the time period within which the release is expected to be
issued and a commitment to provide the release at no cost to
Customer; (iii) maintain a support desk for receipt of Customer
telephone calls for first level diagnosis of IMPAC Product problems
during the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, Monday
through Friday, IMPAC holidays excepted; (iv) provide emergency
beeper service during the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific
time during IMPAC holidays; and (v) provide remote upgrades of new
releases for licensed IMPAC Products. Current IMPAC holidays are New
Year’s Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day, day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day,
and Christmas Day. IMPAC will inform Customer of any changes to
IMPAC holidays. If IMPAC is unable, after reasonable effort, to
cause the IMPAC Product to perform substantially in accordance with
its Documentation, then this Agreement may be terminated with
respect to the IMPAC Product at the option of either party hereto
without further obligation or liability except as provided in
Section 10.3 below. In the event this Agreement is terminated during
the initial one (1) year limited warranty period for an IMPAC
Product, IMPAC shall refund to Customer all license fees paid by
Customer for such Product. IMPAC shall have no liability for misuse
or modification of the IMPAC Product by Customer. New IMPAC Products
are not included in IMPAC’s standard maintenance and support
services and will be offered by IMPAC to Customer at IMPAC’s then
current published prices.
5.1.2. Charges for Maintenance and
Support Maintenance and support during the one (1) year limited
warranty period for an IMPAC Product is included with the payment of
the applicable license fee. After such one (1) year limited warranty
period, IMPAC will continue to provide customer with extended
maintenance and support as described in Section 5.1.1 above on an
annual basis, provided Customer pays IMPAC in advance the annual
maintenance and support fee then in effect. The current extended
maintenance and support fee is specified on the cover page.
5.1.3. Automatic Renewal IMPAC’s
obligation to provide maintenance and support services and
Customer’s obligation to pay the maintenance and support fees then
in effect shall be automatically renewed on the anniversary dates of
Acceptance, unless either IMPAC or Customer has given the other at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice canceling IMPAC’s
maintenance and support. If there is an increase in annual
maintenance and support fees over the preceding year, Customer may
also prevent such automatic renewal by giving IMPAC written notice
of cancellation within fifteen (15) days of receipt of IMPAC’s
invoice showing such increase. Any failure by IMPAC to provide
ongoing annual maintenance and support on the anniversary date of
Acceptance shall not constitute grounds for terminating this
Agreement but shall only be a basis for terminating the parties’
future obligation with respect to maintenance and support.
5.1.4. Limitations on IMPAC’s
Obligations Customer understands and agrees that IMPAC may develop
and market new or different computer programs which use part or all
of the IMPAC Product and which perform all or part of the functions
performed by the IMPAC Product. Nothing contained in this Agreement
gives Customer any rights with respect to such new or different
computer programs.
5.1.5. Customer’s Duties Customer
will; (i) perform routine maintenance as required by the
Documentation for the IMPAC Products; (ii) maintain proper
environmental conditions at the site in accordance with the
Documentation; (iii) promptly install new updates of the IMPAC
Product as requested by IMPAC; (iv) install the IMPAC recommended
communication software, a 33,600 baud modem and dedicated phone line
for remote diagnostics; (v) provide IMPAC with supervisor security
rights on the designated CPUs; (vi) schedule adequate time during
normal business hours for required on-site installation and
training; and (vii) perform such other routine maintenance
procedures as IMPAC may reasonably request from time to time.
5.2. Maintenance and Support by Third
Party Suppliers Maintenance and support of the Other Products by
Third Party Suppliers shall be provided in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Third Party Suppliers’ standard agreements
assigned to Customer pursuant to Section 2.2 above. IMPAC shall use
its reasonable efforts to assist Customer in obtaining maintenance
and support from such Third Party Suppliers, provided, however, that
in the event such Third Party Suppliers fail to maintain or support
such Other Products, IMPAC shall have no responsibility or liability
by reason of such failure.
6. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL IMPAC BE LIABLE FOR
(1) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, COST OF SUBSTITUTE PROCUREMENT, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR (2) ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE,
DATA, OR PROFITS ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS
AGREEMENT RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE PRODUCTS EVEN IF IMPAC
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CUSTOMER AGREES
THAT IMPAC’S TOTAL MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, IF ANY, SHALL NOT
EXCEED THE SUMS PAID TO IMPAC BY CUSTOMER FOR THE IMPAC PRODUCTS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
7. Trade Secret, Patent, and Copyright
Indemnification
IMPAC agrees to indemnify Customer and
to hold it harmless from all damages awarded against Customer and
all reasonable expenses incurred by Customer as the result of any
claim of trade secret, patent, or copyright infringement asserted
against Customer by virtue of Customer’s use of the IMPAC Products
as delivered by IMPAC and maintained on the Designated CPUs,
provided that IMPAC is given prompt notice of any such claims and
the right to control and direct the investigation, preparation,
defense, and settlement of each such claim, and further provided
that Customer shall fully cooperate with IMPAC in connection with
the foregoing. Should the IMPAC Product as delivered by IMPAC become
or, in IMPAC’s opinion, be likely to become, the subject of a claim
of infringement of a trade secret, patent, or copyright, IMPAC may
at its option and expense either (a) procure for Customer the right
to continue to use the IMPAC Product as contemplated hereunder, or
(b) replace or modify the IMPAC Product or modify its use to make
its use hereunder non-infringing. If neither option is reasonably
available to IMPAC, then this Agreement may be terminated with
respect to the IMPAC Product at the option of either party hereto
without further obligation or liability except as provided in
Sections 10.3 hereof and IMPAC shall grant Customer a refund for
such IMPAC Product as depreciated on a five-year, straight-line
basis. IMPAC shall have no liability for any claim of trade secret,
patent, or copyright infringement under this Section based on; (i)
Customer’s use or combination of the IMPAC Product with products or
data not supplied by IMPAC as part of the IMPAC Products; (ii) use
of the IMPAC Product on other than the Designated CPUs or with the
Other Products; (iii) any modification of any IMPAC Product by a
party other than IMPAC; or (iv) Customer’s failure to install
changes or updates as instructed by IMPAC.
8. Modification of Product by Customer
Customer shall not modify the Products
in any manner without the express written authorization of IMPAC or
the appropriate Third Party Supplier, as the case may be. Any
modification of the Product by Customer or any failure by Customer
to implement any improvements or updates to the Product as supplied
by IMPAC or Third Party Supplier shall void any and all of IMPAC’s
obligations under this Agreement, whether expressed in this
Agreement or implied by law.
9. Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality
9.1. IMPAC Confidential Information
Customer understands and agrees that, in IMPAC’s performance of its
duties under this Agreement, IMPAC may communicate to Customer (or
its designees) certain confidential or proprietary information
concerning IMPAC’s products (present and proposed), product design,
product plans, product and business processes, techniques, know-how,
technology, schedules, and marketing plans all of which are
confidential, proprietary to, and trade secrets of IMPAC. Any such
disclosure shall be in utmost confidence. Customer agrees to hold
all of such disclosures within its own organization and shall not,
without the specific written consent of an authorized corporate
officer of IMPAC, utilize in any manner, publish, communicate, or
disclose any part thereof to third parties. Customer may be released
from all obligations as to maintaining confidentiality of IMPAC’s
confidential information to the extent that any such information or
data; (i) rightfully is or becomes publicly known; (ii) is
demonstrated to be known by Customer prior to disclosure by IMPAC;
(iii) is subsequently rightfully received by Customer from a third
party not itself in breach of a duty to IMPAC not to disclose; (iv)
is approved for release by IMPAC; or (v) is ascertained through
examination of a commercially available product, system, or
software. This Section 9.1 and all confidentiality commitments shall
survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.
9.2. Customer Confidential Information
IMPAC understands and agrees that, in its performance of its duties
under this Agreement, certain Customer confidential information,
including proprietary information concerning business plans and
procedures and medical information concerning patients and patient
records may be revealed to IMPAC by Customer. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.1.1., IMPAC agrees to hold all such
disclosures within its own organization and shall not, without the
specific written consent of an authorized officer of Customer, or,
as the case may be, the specific written authorization from the
patient, utilize in any manner, publish, communicate, or disclose
any part thereof to third parties. IMPAC may be released from all
obligations as to maintaining confidentiality of Customer’s
confidential information to the extent that any such information or
data; (i) rightfully is or becomes publicly known; (ii) is
demonstrated to be known by IMPAC prior to disclosure by Customer;
(iii) is subsequently rightfully received by IMPAC from a third
party not in breach of a duty to Customer not to disclose; (iv) is
approved for release by Customer; or (v) is ascertained through
examination of a commercially available product, system, or
software. This Section 9.2 and all confidentiality commitments shall
survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

take all necessary steps to protect the security and confidentiality
of all data, information, programs, systems, materials, techniques,
or procedures which are delivered to Customer by IMPAC.
9.4. Injunction Relief The parties
acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Sections 2 and 9 are
reasonable and necessary to protect IMPAC’s legitimate interest, and
that remedies at law will be inadequate. Any violations of the
provisions of Sections 2 and 9 will cause irreparable damage to
IMPAC within a short period of time and IMPAC shall be entitled to
preliminary injunction relief and other injunction relief against
each violation. Such relief shall be in addition to, and in no way
in limitation of, any and all other remedies available in law and
equity.

Agreement without further obligation or liability to Customer if any

this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30)

certification that Customer has complied with all of its obligations
under Section 10. IMPAC’s termination of this Agreement and
