However, it shall be BA's responsibility to prepare and deliver any such accounting requested and to do so in accordance with law. BA shall not disclose any Protected Information except as set forth in Sections 2.b. of this Exhibit "M" [45 C.F.R. Sections 164.504(e)(2)(ii)(G) and 165.528]. j. Governmental Access to Records.

Unless stricter reporting requirements apply in accordance with federal or state laws or regulations, other provisions of the Agreement, or this Exhibit "M", BA shall notify CE within twenty-four (24) hours of any suspected or actual breach of security, intrusion or unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI of which BA becomes aware and/or any actual or suspected use or disclosure of data in violation of any applicable federal or state laws or regulations. Unless CE provides BA with written notice that it will undertake such obligations on behalf of BA, BA shall take (i) prompt corrective action to cure any such deficiencies and (ii) any action pertaining to such unauthorized disclosure required by applicable federal and state laws and regulations. The parties agree that CE has the sole discretion to determine whether or not it will undertake such obligations on behalf of BA and that, if it does, CE has the right to require BA to pay for any or all costs associated therewith. Breach Pattern or Practice by Covered Entity. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Section 17934(b), if the BA knows of a pattern of activity or practice of the CE that constitutes a material breach or violation of the CE's obligations under the Agreement or this Exhibit "M" or other arrangement, the BA must take reasonable steps to cure the breach or end the violation. If the steps are unsuccessful, the BA must terminate the Agreement or other arrangement if feasible, or if termination is not feasible, report the problem to the DHHS Secretary. BA shall provide written notice to CE of any pattern of activity or practice of the CE that BA believes constitutes a material breach or violation of the CE's obligations under the Agreement or this Exhibit "M" or other arrangement within five (5) business days of discovery and shall meet with CE to discuss and attempt to resolve the problem as one of the reasonable steps to cure the breach or end the violation. o. Audits, Inspection and Enforcement Within ten (10) days of a written request by CE, BA and its agents or subcontractors shall allow CE to conduct a reasonable inspection of the facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies and procedures relating to the use or disclosure of Protected Information pursuant to this Exhibit "M" for the purpose of determining whether BA has complied with this Exhibit; provided, however, that (i) BA and CE shall mutually agree in advance upon the scope, timing and location of such an inspection, (ii) CE shall protect the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of BA to which CE has access during the course of such inspection; and (iii) CE shall execute a nondisclosure agreement, upon terms mutually agreed upon by the parties, if requested by BA. The fact that CE inspects, or fails to inspect, or has the right to inspect, BA's facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies and procedures does not relieve BA of its responsibility to comply with this Exhibit "M', nor does CE's (i) failure to detect or (ii) detection, but failure to notify BA or require BA's remediation of any unsatisfactory practices, constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of CE's enforcement rights under the Agreement or this Exhibit V'. BA shall notify CE within ten (10) business days of learning that BA has become the subject of an audit, compliance review, or complaint investigation by the Office for Civil Rights. 3. Termination of Agreement a. Material Breach. A breach by BA of any provision of this Exhibit "M", as determined by CE, shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement and shall provide grounds for immediate termination of the Agreement, any provision in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. [45 C.F.R. Section 164.504(e)(2)(iii)]. b. Judicial or Administrative Proceedings. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, CE may terminate the Agreement, effective immediately, if (i) BA is named as a defendant in a criminal proceeding for a violation of HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the HIPAA Regulations or other security or privacy laws or (ii) a finding or stipulation that the BA has violated any standard or requirement of HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the HIPAA Regulations or other security or privacy laws is made in any administrative or civil proceeding in which the party has been joined. c. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason, BA shall, at the option of CE, return or destroy all Protected Information that BA or its agents or subcontractors still maintain in any form, and shall retain no copies of such Protected Information. If return or destruction is not feasible, as determined by CE, BA shall continue to extend the protections of Section 2 of this Exhibit "M" to such information, and limit further use of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction of such PHI infeasible. [45 C.F.R. Section 164.504(e)(ii)(2(I)]. If CE elects destruction of the PHI, BA shall certify in writing to CE that such PHI has been destroyed. 4. Indemnification In addition to any other indemnification and defense obligation under the Agreement, BA has a separate and additional obligation to indemnify and defend CE against any claims or suits arising from BA's breach of its obligations under the terms and conditions of this Exhibit "M'. 5. Limitation of Liability Notwithstanding any limitation of liability provision that may exist in the Agreement or this Exhibit V', BA is solely liable for any damages related to a breach of the BA's privacy or security obligations under the terms of this Exhibit "M". 6. Disclaimer CE makes no warranty or representation that compliance by BA with this Exhibit "M", HIPAA, the HITECH Act, or the HIPAA Regulations will be adequate or satisfactory for BA's own purposes. BA is solely responsible for all decisions made by BA regarding the safeguarding of PHI. 7. Certification To the extent that CE determines that such examination is necessary to comply with CE's legal obligations pursuant to HIPAA relating to certification of its security practices, CE or its authorized agents or contractors, may, at CE's expense, examine BA's facilities, systems, procedures and records as may be necessary for such agents or contractors to certify to CE the extent to which BA's security safeguards comply with HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the HIPAA Regulations or this Addendum. 8. Amendment a. Amendment to Comply with Law.

The parties specifically agree to take such action as is necessary to implement the standards and requirements of HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the Privacy Rule, the Security Rule and other applicable laws relating to the security or confidentiality of PHI. The parties understand and agree that CE must receive satisfactory written assurance from BA that BA will adequately safeguard all Protected Information. Upon the request of either party, the other party agrees to promptly enter into negotiations concerning the terms of an amendment to this Exhibit "M" embodying written assurances consistent with the standards and requirements of HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the Privacy Rule, the Security Rule or other applicable laws. CE may terminate the Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice in the event (i) BA does not promptly enter into negotiations to amend the Agreement or this Exhibit "M" when requested by CE pursuant to this Section or (ii) BA does not enter not enter into an amendment to the Agreement or this Exhibit "M" providing assurances regarding the safeguarding of PHI that CE, in its sole discretion, deems sufficient to satisfy the standards and requirements of applicable laws. b. Amendment of Exhibit "M". This Exhibit "M" may be modified or amended at any time without amendment of the Agreement, but only by written agreement of the parties. 9. Assistance in Litigation of Administrative Proceedings BA shall make itself, and any subcontractors, employees or agents assisting BA in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement, available to CE, at no cost to CE, to testify as witnesses, or otherwise, in the event of litigation or administrative proceedings being commenced against CE, its directors, officers or employees based upon a claimed violation of HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the Privacy Rule, the Security Rule, or other laws relating to security and privacy, except where BA or its subcontractor, employee or agent is a named adverse party. 10. No Third-Party Beneficiaries Nothing express or implied in the Agreement or this Exhibit "M" is intended to confer, nor shall anything herein confer, upon any person other than CE, BA and their respective successors or assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities whatsoever. 11. Effect on Agreement Except as specifically required to implement the purposes of this Exhibit "M", or to the extent inconsistent with this Exhibit "M", all other terms of the Agreement shall remain in force and effect. 12. Interpretation The provisions of this Exhibit "M" shall prevail over any provisions in the Agreement that may conflict or appear inconsistent with any provision in this Exhibit "M". This Exhibit "M" and the Agreement shall be interpreted as broadly as necessary to implement and comply with HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the Privacy Rule and the Security Rule. The partes agree that any ambiguity in this Exhibit "M" shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that complies and is consistent with HIPAA, the HITECH Act, the Privacy Rule and the Security Rule. 13. Survival of Provisions Excepting only the provisions regarding BA's use or disclosure of Protected Information for the purpose of performing BA's obligations under the Agreement, the terms of this Exhibit "M" shall survive the termination of the Agreement so long as PHI obtained or generated during the term of the Agreement is retained by BA.
