Polimeno Vice Chairman Medical Information Technology, Inc. Meditech Circle Westwood, Massachusetts 02090 Dear Mr. Polimeno, Re: Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC Lease with PHC, Inc. ("Lessee"): Master Lease No. 16378-00900 and Equipment Schedule No. 1 thereunder (hereinafter the "Lease") This letter is to record and confirm the agreement between Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC ("BALC") and Medical Information Technology, Inc. ("Meditech") concerning BALC's rights in relation to the "Licensed Software" as such term is defined in the Health Care Information System Software Agreement between Meditech and Lessee dated December 30, 2004 (hereinafter the "SSA"). 1. The intention of the parties hereto is that BALC or its assigns, having entered into the Leases with the Lessee to finance the full license fees and other amounts payable to Meditech under the SSA for perpetual licenses for the Licensed Software, and having paid such fees to Meditech, should be and will be furnished with every opportunity to recover the amounts so financed and paid, without competition from Meditech. Such opportunity shall include the right to transfer rights of use in the Licensed Software and certain other rights and benefits under the SSA to third parties only in the circumstances more fully described below. 2. If BALC or its assigns become aware that the whole or any portion of Lessee's business enterprise or assets which uses or involves the use of the Licensed Software, has been or may be transferred to any third party (hereinafter a "Successor Party") for any reason, including but not limited to any bankruptcy proceeding or plan of reorganization in bankruptcy, agreement, or judicial proceeding, Meditech will upon a written request from BALC or its assigns to do so, agree, free of any charge payable to Meditech, to issue to the Successor Party a perpetual license to use such Licensed Software upon terms no less favorable to the Successor Party than were granted to Lessee under the SSA, or will consent to the transfer to the Successor Party of the perpetual licenses granted to Lessee under the SSA and all other rights and benefits under the SSA, subject, however, to payment by Successor Party to BALC or its assigns, in cash or upon agreed extended payment terms, of such principal amount as may be agreed between BALC or its assigns and Successor Party; provided that such principal amount shall not exceed the net book value of the Lease as reflected in the books of account of BALC or, if BALC has assigned its rights under the Lease to a third-party, in the books of such third-party. Extended payment terms may include the assumption by Successor Party of Lessee's remaining obligations with respect to the payment of amounts due under the Lease or Leases, or some other amount agreed to by BALC. Meditech undertakes to cooperate in good faith with BALC or its assigns to facilitate the granting or transfer of perpetual licenses, and will refrain from any acts or omissions, direct or indirect, which might interfere with BALC's or its assign's ability to achieve the purposes of this letter agreement. The term "Successor Party" shall for the purposes of this letter agreement include the Lessee in bankruptcy (as debtor in possession or otherwise), Lessee's trustee or other representative in bankruptcy, and Lessee upon discharge from bankruptcy. - 58 - 3. If BALC elects to exercise its rights under a Lease to demand that Lessee promptly discontinue its use of the Licensed Software after termination of a Lease and destroy all tangible and intangible items constituting such Licensed Software, Meditech shall comply with the provisions of paragraph 5 below as if the Lessee was a Successor Party. 4. The right to receive the balance of any prepaid support services originally financed under the Lease, shall, to the extent not yet performed by Meditech, also be transferred to the Successor Party. If the successor party wishes to renew or upgrade such software support services, the Successor Party may contact Meditech directly for such upgrades or renewals. 5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for so long as BALC or its assigns have not yet recovered the whole of the net book value of the Leases, Meditech shall not directly or indirectly enter into negotiations or participate in communications with any party or category of parties which BALC in good faith believes is an actual or potential Successor Party, and has identified in a written notice addressed to Meditech, concerning any proposal, arrangement, or contract, involving the granting of a license, perpetual or otherwise, to a Successor Party, to use the Licensed Software or any software performing functions substantially similar to those hitherto performed by the Licensed Software for the Lessee, except in furtherance of the objectives set forth in this letter agreement for the benefit of BALC or its assigns. BALC shall inform Meditech in writing when it has completed recovery of the whole of the net book value of the Leases. 6. To the extent contemplated by, and subject to the provisions of, this letter agreement, the licenses granted in terms of the SSA with respect to the Licensed Software, and the rights and benefits of Lessee thereunder, shall be deemed transferable, but only to the extent provided for in the SSA. 7. Meditech hereby consents to the Lessee granting to BALC a security interest in all Lessee's rights in the Licensed Software and the licenses thereto.
