A. Pricing.
i. Installation and Training Charges. For each installation of the eMARneek Software at a Pharmacy location, the applicable Pharmacy shall pay a one-time installation charge of $2,000 for the initial setup of the eMARneek Software and the Interface and live online training of such Pharmacy’s employees (the “Initial Installation and Training”). Such Initial Installation and Training will include live online training for supervisors and administrators at an initial Electing Facility. Caregiver training is available at no charge on the eMARneek training site. This serves as knowledge transfer to Pharmacy, thus allowing Pharmacy to conduct Facility Training (as defined below), as needed in the future. Any additional online training requested by Pharmacy or a Pharmacy shall be provided by eMARneek at eMARneek’s standard published rates and is availability of resources, per eMARneek’s training calendar. Any onsite training requested by Pharmacy or a Pharmacy shall be provided by eMARneek on two consecutive days at the rate of $3,000 per location plus the cost of reasonable travel expenses actually incurred, plus $1,000 per day for any additional days of training at such location. All charges and costs pursuant to this Section 3.A.i. are referred to herein as the “Installation and Training Charges.”
ii. Transfer Fee. In the event that a Facility using eMARneek, interfaced with a third-party Pharmacy, subsequently becomes an Electing Facility to begin interfacing with a new Pharmacy, the new Pharmacy shall pay a one-time charge of $975, per facility, as a “Transfer Fee”, in order for eMARneek to accommodate and facilitate such a transfer.
iii. License and Services Fees. The monthly fee for the License granted by the EULA and the Services (the “Fees”) shall be calculated per resident living in an Electing Facility during such month for which eMARneek has been used in their care (each an “Active Resident”) as detailed in pricing table shown on Pharmacy Partner Application. “Active Resident” defined to mean, any individual listed in the eMARneek Software database for whom the eMARneek Software has been utilized for medication administration and/or management. If no medications are managed at the facility using eMARneek Software then a secondary definition of Active Resident will apply, based on which software modules are put into use. If modules other than the eMAR module are activated in the eMARneek Software then any resident that is designated Active, as defined in the software, on the last day of the billing period in the eMARneek Software will be considered an Active Resident.
iv. Support. eMARneek shall provide the Support as a service at no extra charge, provided that any on-site maintenance or support required or requested by a Pharmacy and approved in writing by Pharmacy shall be billed by eMARneek at eMARneek standard published rates, plus the actual travel and expenses.

B. Payment Terms. eMARneek shall submit a detailed invoice to Pharmacy for all Fees, Installation and Training Charges and/or Transfer Charges within 10 days after the end of each month. Pharmacy shall remit payment by electronic funds transfer within 30 days of the invoice date. eMARneek shall apply payments from Pharmacy to the invoices specified by Pharmacy. - Facility Training.If requested by Facility and agreed upon by the Pharmacy, Pharmacy may conduct initial training for use of eMARneek Software for the personnel at any Electing Facility for which a Pharmacy is using the License (the “Facility Training”).
