is able to support its own plants; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor may terminate the license and support for PRODUCERTM by providing [****] ([****]) months written notice to Licensee. In the event that Licensor terminates the license and support for PRODUCERTM, Licensor shall provide to Licensee, to the extent Licensor is able to: (i) a list of Licensor’s preferred vendors of any applications to replace PRODUCERTM, (ii) all documentation associated with PRODUCERTM that is used by Licensor to support PRODUCERTM for Licensee; (iii) an assignment of all necessary licenses of PRODUCERTM so that Licensee may continue to use and support PRODUCERTM. Licensee shall bear costs and expenses associated with providing the foregoing items (i) through (iii).
2.2 | Section 5.2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language: |
All Annual License Charges shall be payable by Licensee to Licensor during the term of this Agreement in the amounts specified on the attached Schedule 1. All Annual License Charges shall be due on the first day of each Contract Year hereunder and shall be paid within [****] ([****]) days of the due date. If all of the Conditions defined in Section 5.3 are met during any Contract Year during the Term, then Licensee shall be entitled to a discount for the Annual License Charges due for the subsequent Contract Year.

2.3 | Section 5.3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language: |
Licensee shall be entitled to a discount in the Annual License Charges, if Licensee shall meet the following conditions for the term of the Agreement (together, the “Conditions”):

2.5 | Appendix B, Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby amended as follows: |
(a) By deleting in its entirety the first sentence and replacing it with the following sentence:
