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;

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



















	
(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

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.

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.
