Each Party shall treat all such Recipient Data as Confidential Information of the other Party hereunder, regardless of whether such information is aggregated or otherwise “de-identified” (as that term is defined under HIPAA). Each Party acknowledges that it has executed a business associate subcontractor agreement.
4.5Data Security. The Provider Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the physical security and electronic security of the equipment utilized to provide the Services to the Recipient Party that contains Recipient Data.

The Provider Party shall treat any information related to such security incident(s) as the Recipient’s Confidential Information. The Provider Party agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to the Recipient Party and any applicable government agency in investigating and resolving any such security incident.
4.6Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges that the disclosing Party would not have an adequate remedy at Law for the breach of any one or more of the covenants contained in thisSection 4 and agrees that, in the event of such breach, the disclosing Party may apply to a court for an injunction to prevent breaches of thisSection 4 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of thisSection 4.
4.7Disclosure Required by Law. The provisions of thisSection 4 shall not preclude disclosures required by Law;provided,however, that each Party shall use reasonable efforts to notify the other Party prior to making any such disclosure, in order to permit the other Party to take such steps as it deems appropriate to minimize any loss of confidentiality.
5.Term and Termination
5.1Term. The term for each of the Services shall begin on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue in effect until the Service End Date (such period being the “Service Period” for each Service). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Service shall continue to be provided beyond the Service End Date for the
14
particular Service and this Agreement shall automatically terminate when each Service End Date has been reached if it has not been terminated beforehand in accordance with its terms.
5.2Termination of a Particular Service or Component Thereof. At any time:
(a) either Party may terminate its rights and obligations with respect to the provision of a Service or any component thereof effective thirty (30) days following notice to the other Party if the other Party materially defaults in the performance of any of its obligations contained in this Agreement for such Service or component thereof, as applicable, and such default is not remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the nondefaulting Party within such notice period; and
(b) any specific Service or part thereof shall be subject to termination at the election of the Recipient Party upon providing the relevant amount of advance notice specified for termination in the relevant Schedule to the Provider Party.

(c) except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall and shall cause its Affiliates to use reasonable efforts to, at the other Party’s option, destroy or return to the other Party all records obtained by such Party in the course of performing such Services or components thereof, as applicable, containing Confidential Information of the other Party that are then in the possession or control of such Party or its Affiliates;provided,however, that archived records may be retained. If either Party or any of their respective Affiliates destroys any record pursuant to thisSection 5.3(c), such Party shall provide the other Party with written confirmation of any such destruction; and
(d) the Parties shall no longer be required to provide the Services (save as pursuant to any Transition and Migration Plan (if any)).

(a) In preparation for the discontinuation of any Service provided under this Agreement, the Provider Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, consistent with its obligations to perform the Services hereunder and with the cooperation and commercially reasonable assistance of the Recipient Party, take such steps as are
15
reasonably requested in order to facilitate a smooth, efficient and prompt transition and/or migration of the data, records and responsibilities of the Services to the Recipient Party so as to avoid a disruption of services;provided,however, that in no event shall the Provider Party or any of its Affiliates be required to do anything that would interfere with its ability to perform its obligations with respect to the Services hereunder unless the Recipient Party expressly agrees in writing to be executed by both Parties to waive any claim it may have that the Provider Party or the relevant Affiliate is in breach in its performance obligations due to the interference in the Services caused by such assistance. The Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to complete such transition and/or migration prior to the effective date of the expiration or termination of the applicable Service Period or the termination of this Agreement or on such expedited or extended schedule to which the Parties shall mutually agree in writing.

(c) Upon receipt by the Provider Party of the Recipient Party’s reasonable request for transition and migration assistance in accordance with thisSection 5.4, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a plan under which such transition and migration assistance will be provided (each such plan, a “Transition and Migration Plan”). Each Transition and Migration Plan shall include a schedule for the transition and migration work and the costs to be incurred by each Party and their respective Affiliates in performing transition and migration activities. The Recipient Party shall pay such costs of transition and migration activities incurred by either Party or its Affiliates pursuant to thisSection 5.4.

7.1Indemnifying Party’s Obligations.

clause (iii) in the event that either (a) such Provider has followed specifications provided by such Recipient (including, but not limited to, if such Recipient requires that such Provider use particular Software), (b) the Software is modified by any Person other than such Provider or (c) the Software is combined with other Intellectual Property by any Person other than such Provider.

The Indemnifying Party shall, at its own cost, contest and defend any Action against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of the Indemnified Party if such judgment or settlement (a) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party (and any applicable Affiliate thereof) of an unconditional and irrevocable release from all Liability in respect to such claim, (b) would result in the finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or (c) provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. Any payment to be made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party shall be made within thirty (30) days of (i) the Indemnified Party’s delivery of notice of a claim for indemnification, such claim being uncontested by the Indemnifying Party within the thirty (30) day period, or (ii) in the event that the Indemnifying Party contests the claim pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth inSection 10 hereof and the dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the date of final determination of the amount to be indemnified under such claim. The Indemnified Party may not settle any Action itself without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
7.3Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party’s right of indemnification under thisSection 7 constitutes each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, with the exception of each Party’s rights to injunctive relief underSection 4.4 andSection 10.3 herein.
8.Ownership of and Access Data and Intellectual Property
8.1Data. All Recipient Data is the exclusive property of, and shall constitute Confidential Information of, the relevant Recipient.

The Provider Party represents and warrants that, other than in connection with providing the Services under this Agreement, the Provider Party shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly use or disclose Recipient Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Provider Party shall be entitled to disclose the Recipient Data of the other Party and its Affiliates as necessary in accordance with the Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement.
8.2Intellectual Property. Unless agreed otherwise in a Schedule, each Party hereto agrees that any intellectual property of the other Party or its Affiliates or licensors made available to such Party or its Affiliates in connection with the Services, and any derivative works, additions, modifications, translations or enhancements thereof created by a Party or its Affiliates pursuant to
19
this Agreement, are and shall remain the sole property of the original owner of such intellectual property. To the extent that a Provider uses its own or third-Person intellectual property in connection with providing the Services, such intellectual property shall remain the sole property of the Provider or the third-Person.
9.Assignment; Transfer
Neither Party shall assign or attempt to assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the other Party’s prior written consent;provided,however, that no such consent shall be required for an assignment, in whole (if applicable) or in relevant part, in connection with (i) any assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Party so long as such assignment is not for the purpose of avoiding indemnification and the assignee assumes and is capable of performing the obligations assigned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any assignment or sale of all or substantially all of the equity or similar interests of Arsenal that are owned by Manchester, so long as the assignee assumes the assigned rights and obligations, or (iii) any assignment or sale of all or substantially all of Manchester’s or Arsenal’s assets. The assigning Party shall provide the other Party with written notice fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of any such assignment or other transaction referenced in the preceding sentence.

If for any reason, including the failure to meet or communicate, the Provider Service Manager(s) and the Recipient Service Manager(s) have not resolved such dispute to the satisfaction of both Parties within fifteen (15) business days after the Dispute Date, then either Party’s Service Manager(s) may immediately refer such dispute to the Executives.

Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to the mediation, including one-half of the fees and expenses of the mediator. The Parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator shall hold the existence, content and result of the mediation in confidence. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, either Party may pursue its rights and remedies under this Agreement after the earlier of: (a) the date a decision is made by the Executives of both Parties that resolution of the dispute through continued mediation does not appear likely; or (b) the date that is sixty (60) business days after the date on which the Parties commenced non-binding mediation with respect to such dispute.
20

Signatures provided by facsimile or electronic transmission will be deemed to be original signatures.
12.8Independence. With respect to the provision of any of the Services, all employees and representatives of the Provider Party and its Affiliates and their respective third-Person subcontractors providing such Services shall be deemed, for purposes of all compensation and employee benefits, to be employees, third-Person subcontractors or representatives of the Provider Party or its Affiliates, and not employees, third-Person subcontractors or representatives of Recipient Party or any of its Affiliates. In performing the Services, such employees and representatives shall be under the direction, control and supervision of the Provider Party or its Affiliates or their respective third-Person subcontractors.

12.10Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
12.11Nonexclusivity. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Party from providing any service similar to any of the Services to any other Person. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Recipient from obtaining any Service entirely or in part from its own or its Affiliates’ employees and facilities or from providers other than those Providers hereto;provided such Recipient complies with the relevant terms hereof with respect to its receipt of such Service by a Provider and in the termination thereof, andprovided,further that the termination of a Service in part would not impede the provision of any other interrelated Service, in which case such partial termination may not be effected until the Parties have agreed how to do so without impeding such interrelated Service.
23
12.12Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” means any acts or omissions of any civil or military authority, acts of terrorism, acts of God, fires, strikes or other labor disturbances, equipment failures, fluctuations or non-availability of electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment, or any other similar act, omission or occurrence beyond either Party’s reasonable control. If either Party’s performance is delayed by Force Majeure, the time for performance shall be reasonably extended. A condition of Force Majeure shall be deemed to continue only so long as the affected Party is taking reasonable actions necessary to overcome such condition. If either Party shall be affected by a condition of Force Majeure, such Party shall give the other Party prompt notice thereof, which notice shall contain the affected Party’s estimate of the duration of such condition and a description of the steps being taken or proposed to be taken to overcome such condition of Force Majeure. Any reasonable delay occasioned by any such cause shall not constitute a default under this Agreement, and the obligations of the Parties shall be suspended during the period of delay so occasioned. During any period of Force Majeure, the Party that is not directly affected by such condition of Force Majeure shall be entitled to take any reasonable action necessary to mitigate the effects of such condition of Force Majeure;providedthat in the event that the Provider Party is affected by a condition of Force Majeure, the Provider Party shall only be responsible for the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Recipient Party for taking such reasonable actions up to, and not exceeding, the amount of the Fees for the affected Services or such component thereof for the period during which such Force Majeure condition occurs. If the Force Majeure event is not cured such that the affected Services or such component thereof are provided as required hereunder within thirty (30) days, the non-affected Party may terminate the affected Services or such component thereof and/or seek such Services or such component thereof from a third Person at the affected Party’s reasonable cost and expense.
12.13Performance. Each Party shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Affiliate of such Party.

12.15Further Assurances.

This TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT is dated as of , 2010 (the “Agreement”), between Misys plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Licensor”), and Allscripts-Misys Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Licensee”). Licensor and Licensee are referred to herein collectively as “Parties” and each individually as a “Party”.
WITNESSETH :
WHEREAS, Licensor is the owner of the trade name “MISYS” and certain trademarks and service marks consisting of or incorporating the designation “MISYS,” identified in the schedule attached hereto as Schedule A, and has applied for and registered such trademarks and service marks throughout the world (such trademarks and service marks and such registrations and applications, together with any and all common law rights pertaining thereto, are referred to collectively as the “Licensed Marks”) for use in Licensor’s business;
WHEREAS, Licensee was previously licensed to use the Licensed Marks in connection with Licensee’s healthcare information technology products and services acquired from Licensor in October, 2008 (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to a license agreement to one of Licensee’s affiliates and a sublicense from such affiliate to the Licensee;
WHEREAS, contemporaneously with execution of this Agreement, the above referenced October 2008 license and sublicense agreements (the “Existing Licenses”) are being terminated on the date hereof; and
WHEREAS, Licensee and its affiliates desire to continue using, and Licensor is willing to license Licensee and its affiliates to use, the Licensed Marks as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Grant of License.
1.1Grant of Trademark License. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts, a nonexclusive, nonassignable (except as set forth in Section 7.1), royalty-free license to use the Licensed Marks in the Territory solely for the purpose of providing support to (including delivering updated versions of) the healthcare information technology products sold under the Licensed Marks prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing Products”) to those customers of the Licensee (or its Affiliates) who are using such Existing Products prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing Customers”). “Territory” shall refer to the United States;provided, however, that for customers utilizing the Existing Products prior to the date of the Acquisition, the Territory shall include any other country in which such customers utilize the Existing Products under their applicable license agreements which were entered into prior to the date of the Acquisition.
1.2Restrictions on Use.
30
(a) Except for use of Licensee’s color scheme of orange and grey, which may be used for the Licensed Marks other than “Misys” used alone, “Misys” in combination with the “M” logo and the “M” logo, Licensee shall not change or modify the Licensed Marks, or create any design variation of the Licensed Marks, without the prior written consent of Licensor.
(b) Except for the word “Allscripts”, Licensee shall not join any name, mark or logo with the Licensed Marks so as to form a composite trade name or mark, without obtaining the prior written consent of Licensor.
(c) Licensee shall not use any other name or mark that is confusingly similar to the Licensed Marks,provided,however, that use of the word “Allscripts” with the secondary words in the Licensed Marks (e.g., Tiger), with or without the word “Misys, will not be considered confusingly similar.
1.3Sublicenses.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Licensee may grant a sublicense of its rights hereunder to any of its Affiliates to use the Licensed Marks in connection with the support of the Existing Products in the Territory. Any such sublicence shall be granted solely so as to enable such Affiliates to continue to support Existing Customers use of those Existing Products on or after the date of this Agreement (each such permitted sublicensee, an “Affiliate Sublicensee”). For purpose of this Agreement, “Affiliate” is defined as any entity that, at the time of determination, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Licensee, whether by contract, possession (directly or indirectly) of power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such entity or the ownership (directly or indirectly) of securities or other interests in such entity).
(b) In addition to the right to grant sublicenses pursuant to this Section 1.3, Licensee and each Affiliate Sublicensee shall be permitted to allow those resellers or distributors of the Existing Products prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing Resellers and Distributors”) to continue to use the Licensed Marks solely to support the use of those Existing Products by the Existing Customers to the same extent as those Existing Resellers and Distributors have been performing such obligations under the relevant agreement with Licensee or such Affiliate Sublicensee prior to the date of this Agreement. Each such agreement shall contain restrictions on the use of the Licensed Marks by the Existing Resellers and Distributors which are consistent with the restrictions contained herein.
(c) Notwithstanding the grant of any sublicense hereunder, Licensee shall remain liable for any breach or default of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement by any of its Affiliate Sublicensees, or Existing Resellers and Distributors with respect to the Licensed Marks. The Licensee shall notify the Licensor promptly in writing upon becoming aware that the use of the Licensed Marks by any Affiliate Sublicensee or any of the Existing Resellers and Distributors is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
(d) No such Affiliate Sublicensee or Existing Reseller and Distributor shall be permitted to sublicense to any other person or entity the rights granted to it with respect to the Licensed Marks.
2.Quality Standards and Control.
2.1Quality Control. At all times, Licensee shall use and shall cause each Affiliate Sublicensee to use the Licensed Marks only in the same form and manner used by them in connection
31
with supporting the Existing Products, prior to the date of this Agreement. At all times the Licensee shall use (and shall cause each Affiliate Sublicensee) to use the Licensed Marks in accordance with such quality standards and specifications as were in place prior to the date of this Agreement and as may be established by Licensor and communicated to Licensee in writing from time to time. The Licensee shall not use the Licensed Marks in a way which may tarnish them or the reputation of the Licensor. The Licensor’s use of the “M” mark will faithfully reproduce the design and appearance of such Licensed Mark as reflected in the Schedule.
2.2Inspection. Licensor or its designated representative shall have the right at any time during normal business hours to inspect any and all uses of the Licensed Marks to confirm that such use is in conformance with the terms of this Agreement. From time to time, upon Licensor’s reasonable request in writing, Licensee shall, at Licensee’s expense, provide Licensor with representative samples of the ways in which the Licensed Marks are then being used (or photographs depicting the same).
2.3Deficiencies. If Licensor reasonably believes that the Licensed Marks are not being used in accordance with Section 2.1, then Licensor shall promptly provide Licensee with written notice of such defects or violations, and shall allow Licensee thirty (30) days from the date of such notice in which to cure such defects or violations. Should the defects or violations not be remedied within such thirty (30) days, Licensor may, in its reasonable discretion, terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2 or bring an action to require specific performance. If such an action is brought and is successful, then Licensee shall have thirty (30) days within which to comply with the order. If, at the end of such thirty (30) days Licensee has not complied, this Agreement will terminate automatically.
