20.4.2  
The obligations of an Indemnifying Party with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party that are subject to indemnification as provided for in this Section 20 (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be governed by the following additional terms and conditions:
 
(a)  
at its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. In the event that HWAY reasonably determines that the Claim, or defense of the Claim, includes or introduces a material liability with respect to or allegation or possibility of HWAY’s compliance with Laws, HWAY may assume the control of the defense of such Claim at its own expense; provided, however, that in assuming such control, (i) HWAY shall confer with Supplier on a regular basis, (ii) HWAY shall reasonably consider input from Supplier, and (iii) Supplier shall have no obligation to pay any Losses under any settlement agreement or other consensual disposition of such Claim agreed by HWAY without Supplier’s consent.  The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnitee with respect to the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification.  Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party.  In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim.  Should the Indemnifying Party assume and maintain the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 20.4.2(b) below, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim;

(b)  
without limiting Section 20.4.2(a) above, any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnitee’s own expense unless (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (y) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume and maintain the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 20.4.2(a) above (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).  If (i) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are both named parties to the proceeding, and (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that the Indemnifying Party has a material conflict of interest in connection with the control of such defense or that there are one or more legal defenses that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party which counsel to the Indemnifying Party reasonably determines cannot be advanced on behalf of the Indemnified Party by counsel for the Indemnifying Party under applicable standards of professional conduct, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such action with counsel of its own choice at its own expense; provided, however, that in assuming such control, (i) the Indemnified Party shall confer with Indemnifying Party on a regular basis, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably consider input from the Indemnifying Party, and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to pay any Losses under any settlement agreement or other consensual disposition of such Claim agreed by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s consent;
 
(c)  
with respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnitee’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnitee in a material manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Losses, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.  With respect to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 20.4.2(a) above, the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Losses.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of Losses by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnitee shall admit any liability or wrong doing with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; and

regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.  Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnitees and other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable Out-of-Pocket Expenses in connection therewith.

Equitable Remedies»
 
Due to the critical nature of Termination Assistance to HWAY as provided for in Section 26, there can be no adequate remedy at Law for breach of Supplier’s obligation to provide such assistance, and that such breach may result in immediate and irreparable harm to HWAY; therefore, in addition to whatever other rights and remedies HWAY might have at Law or under this Agreement, HWAY shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to compel such assistance. Supplier waives any defense to the effect that monetary damages are an adequate remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, but otherwise reserves all rights. HWAY acknowledges that any order compelling performance of Termination Assistance may be conditioned upon payment of undisputed Charges for all Services including Termination Assistance, or, in the case of termination by Supplier, prepayment.

Unless otherwise indicated in this Business Associate Addendum, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided in Applicable Privacy Law, as may be amended from time to time. “PHI” refers to Protected Health Information that is created or received by Contractor (directly or indirectly) for or from HEALTHWAYS or its Clients. “EPHI” refers to PHI that is transmitted by, or maintained, in electronic media. “Services” shall mean the services specified in the underlying service relationship between the parties (“Service Relationship”) and any additional services specified below:
 
SECTION 1. Use and Disclosure of PHI.
 
Contractor shall not use or disclose PHI except as Required By Law or as permitted or required by this BAA. Contractor will not sell PHI or use or disclose PHI for purposes of marketing or fundraising, as defined and proscribed in the Privacy and Security Rule and ARRA. Contractor may: (i) use and disclose PHI as necessary to provide the Services, provided that such use or disclosure would not violate Applicable Privacy Law if done by Healthways’ Clients; (ii) use PHI for the proper management and administration of Contractor or to carry out the legal responsibilities of Contractor; and (iii) disclose PHI for the purposes described in (ii) above, if Required By Law or if Contractor obtains reasonable assurances in writing from the recipient of such information that the PHI will be kept confidential and only used or further disclosed if Required By Law or for purposes described in (ii) above and that the recipient will notify Contractor of any instances of which it is aware in which the confidentiality of the information has been breached. In the event Contractor becomes aware of a restriction request that would restrict a use or disclosure otherwise permitted by this BAA, Contractor shall comply with the terms of the restriction request. In all cases, Contractor will limit its uses and disclosures of, and requests for, PHI (i) when practical, to the information making up a Limited Data Set; and (ii) in all other cases subject to the requirements of 45 CFR §164.502(b), to the minimum amount of PHI necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure or request.
 
SECTION 2.  
SAFEGUARDS; SECURITY
 
 

 
*  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION



Contractor shall maintain appropriate safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of PHI other than as provided herein, including but not limited to maintaining policies and procedures to detect, prevent or mitigate identity theft based on PHI or information derived from PHI. Contractor agrees to implement administrative, technical and physical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of EPHI and that meet the requirements applicable to Business Associates under 45 CFR §§ 164.308, 164.310, 164.312 and 164.316. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractor shall ensure that all EPHI that Contractor transmits to Healthways or (as permitted by this BAA) to any third party is rendered unusable, unreadable or indecipherable to unauthorized individuals through the use of a technology or methodology specified in guidance issued by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (“Secretary”) in accordance with ARRA.
 
SECTION 3.  
ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS
 
Unless Healthways gives its prior, express written consent, Contractor will not disclose any PHI to any agent, subcontractor or other person or entity that is located or organized outside of the United States of America. Further, Contractor shall not allow any PHI to be transmitted to, received by, or stored at any location outside of the United States of America and shall not permit any person outside of the United States of America to access or view PHI. Unless Healthways gives its prior, express written consent, Contractor shall not de-identify any PHI except as necessary to provide the Services or for Contractor’s management, administration and legal responsibilities as described in Section 2. Contractor shall train or adequately inform its employees, agents and subcontractors regarding its obligations to handle PHI confidentially.
 
SECTION 4.  
REPORT BREACHES
 
To the extent known to or discovered by Contractor, Contractor shall report to Healthways any (i) use or disclosure of PHI in violation of this BAA; (ii) any Security Incident; (iii) any Red Flag (as defined at 16 CFR §681.2(b)) related to any individual who is the subject of PHI; and (iv) any Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information. Such reports shall be made within 24 hours of Contractor becoming aware of or discovering the Breach, incident or other reportable item. Contractor will be deemed to have discovered a Breach, incident or other reportable item if the item is known, or would have been known by exercising reasonable diligence, to Contractor or any employee or agent of Contractor. Contractor shall take reasonable steps as reasonably requested by Healthways to respond appropriately to, assist in any investigation by a government agency and mitigate to the extent reasonable and practical the harm caused by any item required to be reported pursuant to this provision. Contractor will implement appropriate monitoring of Contractor’s employees and agents and require Contractor’s employees and agents to report actual or suspected Breaches, Red Flags, non-permitted uses and disclosures and Security Incidents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that this section constitutes notice by Contractor to Healthways of the ongoing existence and occurrence of attempted but Unsuccessful Security Incidents (as defined below) for which no additional notice to Healthways shall be required. “Unsuccessful Security Incidents” shall mean pings and other broadcast attacks on Contractor’s firewall, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denials of service and any combination of the above, so long as no such incident results in unauthorized access, use or disclosure of EPHI or the disruption of services.
 
SECTION 5.  
DOWNSTREAM CONTRACTS
 
 

 
*  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION

SECTION 8.  
ACCOUNTING
 
For each disclosure by Contractor of PHI required to be recorded under 45 CFR § 164.528 or ARRA, Contractor will record will record such information as would be required for a Client to respond to a request for an accounting of disclosures in compliance with Applicable Privacy Law.

RETURN/DESTRUCTION OF PHI
 
Upon termination or expiration of this Business Associate Addendum or the Agreement for any reason, Contractor will, at its expense, either securely destroy or return to Healthways all PHI that Contractor has or maintains in any form (including copies of such PHI).  To the extent that it is not feasible for Contractor to return or destroy all PHI, Contractor shall extend the protections of this BAA to such PHI and limit its further use and disclosure to those purposes that make return or destruction of such PHI infeasible, for so long as Contractor maintains such PHI.
 
SECTION 11.  
BREACH/TERMINATION
 
Section 11.1. In the event of a breach by Contractor of a material term of this Business Associate Addendum Healthways may terminate the Agreement pursuant to the terms forth in the Agreement.  Whether such termination constitutes a termination arising pursuant to Section 26.1 or 26.2 of the Agreement shall depend on whether such breach constitutes a material breach of the entire Agreement.  This Business Associate Addendum shall automatically terminate upon termination of the Agreement.
