e.    Termination for Convenience by Athena.  Athena may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time in accordance with this Section 2(e). Athena shall bear all reasonable transition and similar expenses of Athena and the AHS Entities incurred in connection with a termination for convenience. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph, Athena shall have the right to exercise the Buyout Option.
i.    Athena may elect to terminate this Agreement without paying any termination fees, provided that it does so on [___]** notice to AHS USA and provides the AHS Entities with work assignments that require a minimum number of full-time equivalents (“FTEs”) to provide the Services during each of the [___]** periods set forth in the table below, which minimum shall equal (A) the product of (1) the number of FTEs providing the Services on the day immediately preceding the date of notice of 

2

termination, multiplied by (2) the percentage set forth opposite the applicable [___]** period in the table below, less (B) any FTEs providing the Services under an SOW that is terminated for failure to meet quality or productivity standards on or after the date of notice of termination. The wind-down set forth in the table below will be spread as evenly as possible throughout the applicable year.
	
		
	For the [___]** period ending on...
	...the percentage shall be:

	the [___]** of the date of notice of termination
	[___]**%

	the [___]** of the date of notice of termination
	[___]**%

	the [___]** of the date of notice of termination
	[___]**%

	the [___]** of the date of notice of termination
	[___]**%

ii.    Athena may elect to terminate this Agreement immediately on notice of termination to AHS USA, provided that it pays a termination fee equal to the product of (A) the average aggregate monthly revenue recognized by the AHS Entities from the provision of the Services to Athena over the twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the effective date of the termination, multiplied by (B) the multiplier set forth in the table below opposite the period during which such termination is to take effect.

h.    Transition Assistance.  Unless AHS USA has terminated this Agreement under Section 2(d), the AHS Operating Companies will provide a reasonable amount of assistance to Athena in connection with the transition of the Services to Athena or a third party; provided, however, that without AHS USAs written consent such assistance will in no event be required beyond six months following the termination date or expiration date (the “Transition Assistance Period”). Athena will pay AHS USA its fees for such assistance, which fees will be consistent with those fees usually and customarily charged by the AHS Entities to their customers for similar services, and for those services for which there are no established rates, the rate would be a commercially reasonable rate, together with any out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the AHS Entities in connection with such services. If Athena requires that the Services be transitioned to a third party, as a pre-condition to such assistance, Athena will ensure that such third party signs a confidentiality agreement with the AHS Entities that requires such third party to protect the AHS Entities' confidential information with confidentiality terms no less stringent than those set forth herein. In no event will the transition assistance provided by the AHS Operating Companies to transition the Services to a third party include any license to the AHS Entities' Property (as defined in Section 13(a)).
i.    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 2, Sections 4 through 7, Section 9, Sections 10(a) and 10(b), Section 12, Section 13, and Sections 16 through 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of such Sections.

The AHS Entities shall perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner and in the locations and at the Service Levels specified in Appendix A during the term of this Agreement. The AHS Entities shall not, absent the prior written consent of Athena, subcontract any portion of the Services, provided that Athena shall not unreasonably withhold consent for certain IT and technology development services provided by affiliates of the AHS Entities or entities that are affiliates of any family member of Anurag Jain, if the entities providing such services comply with such requirements as may be reasonably requested by Athena. The parties agree that Quibus Technologies Private Limited (“Quibus”) will be providing certain IT and technology development services under this Agreement and Athena hereby consents to Quibus's provision of such services. Athena shall, at its cost and in a timely manner, provide the information or materials and perform the actions required of it under Appendix A. The failure of any of the AHS Entities to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall be excused if and to the extent that its non-performance is caused by Athena's failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the AHS Entities. Any change to the scope of the Services may only be effected as an amendment to Appendix A, executed in writing by the parties.
b.    Statements of Work; Change Requests.  Prior to the implementation of any new service or process to be included in the Services, the parties hereto shall develop a mutually acceptable Statement of Work (an “SOW”) in a form similar to that for each of the existing Services identified in Appendix A, which shall be deemed to be included in and considered part of Appendix A once effective and shall include the following:

v.    Unit of measurement
vi.    Price per unit
vii.    Productivity parameters (if applicable), including ramp-time for new hires

ix.    Turn-around-time requirements
The parties may agree in writing to any changes to the Services, including, without limitation, any revisions to an SOW, or to correct or update an assumption contained in an SOW that is inaccurate or has become inaccurate (a “Change Request”). Each party may accept or reject in its sole discretion any proposed Change Request submitted by the other party. Within ten business days of receipt of each such request from the other party, the receiving party will give written notice to the other party about what impact, if any, the proposed Change Request would have on each party's obligations under an SOW, including any changes in cost, if any, to Athena; the schedule associated with implementing the Change Request; and any other consequential changes. If a party elects to implement the Change Request in accordance with the details in the notice from the other party, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a mutually acceptable written agreement, which shall serve as an amendment to Appendix A, within fifteen business days of such election to effect the requested changes; no Change Request will alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Change Request will have any contractually binding effect until such Change Request, or a writing based on such Change Request and discussions, has been executed by an authorized representative of each party.

c.    Contribution of Resources
i.    Athena shall dedicate such personnel resources to the relationship as may be reasonably necessary for the performance of its and AHS USA's obligations under this Agreement.
ii.    Throughout the term of this Agreement, Athena shall have the right, at its expense, to have one or more of its employees on site at each facility at which the Services are provided, provided that such employees must comply with any of the AHS Entities' security or other requirements while they are at the facility and Athena will be responsible for obtaining any legal or regulatory approvals for having such employee on site. Each of the AHS Entities shall provide work space, materials, information, and other resources reasonably necessary for such employees to perform their duties and shall reasonably cooperate with the visa process and any other aspects of secondment for such employees.
d.    Transition Period
i.    “Transition Period” means the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the AHS Entities have a total of 1,000 FTEs working on Athena's account or (B) the third anniversary of the Effective Date.
ii.    Subject to the AHS Operating Companies' satisfaction of quality and productivity standards, Athena shall provide the AHS Entities with work assignments that require, and the AHS Entities shall provide staffing for, (A) at least [___]** FTEs working on Athena's account by the first anniversary of the Effective Date, (B) at least [___]** FTEs working on Athena's account by the second anniversary of the Effective Date, (C) at least [___]** FTEs working on Athena's account by the third anniversary of the Effective Date, (D) at least [___]** FTEs working on Athena's account by the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, and (E) at least [___]** FTEs working on Athena's account by the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the number of FTEs required to be working on Athena's account by a particular date being referred to as a “Ramp-up Milestone”).
iii.    With respect to any SOW, any failure, in any material respect, to meet quality and productivity standards applicable to such SOW and to cure such failure within sixty days of notice thereof shall result in no additional or increased work being assigned to the AHS Entities under such SOW until such failure is cured, except that the current level of work under such SOW will be maintained. Failure to meet such standards, in any material respect, for any SOW on three or more occasions shall constitute cause for termination of that SOW. Upon either failure to cure within the required period or the termination of any SOW, the parties hereto shall mutually agree upon new Ramp-up Milestones and the number of FTEs that must be working on Athena's account to keep the restrictions set forth under Section 3(f) in effect. Any such restrictions in effect immediately prior to any such failure to cure or termination shall remain in effect at least until the parties hereto so agree. If there are material failures to meet quality or productivity standards across two or more SOWs representing at least 50% of the services being provided by the AHS Entities to Athena (measured using FTEs), and such failures are not cured within the applicable cure periods, then such failures shall constitute cause for purposes of Section 2(c).
iv.    After the AHS Entities have [___]** FTEs working on Athena's account, the amount of service provided to Athena (measured by the revenue recorded) during any calendar year may not decrease by more than [___]**% from the previous calendar year's volume, excluding the volume under any SOW that is terminated for the failure to meet quality and productivity standards at any point following the beginning of that previous calendar year.
v.    Work assignments and mix during the Transition Period shall conform to a transition plan being developed by the parties hereto, as it may be revised from time to time by their mutual consent.

5

e.    Dedicated Services
i.    From the Effective Date on and once and for so long as [___]** or more FTEs are working on Athena's account in India, each of the AHS Operating Companies will segregate Athena workflows and employees working on Athena's account from their operations servicing other clients in a separate secured area to which only employees providing the Services to Athena have access. The AHS Entities shall employ measures to ensure that (A) employees never have access to computer screens or content with respect to both the Services and services provided to other clients of any of the AHS Entities; and (B) that employees of the AHS Entities who are not working on Athena's account are prevented from accessing or using any of Athena's Confidential Information.
ii.    Personnel of the AHS Operating Companies dedicated to working on Athena's account shall not provide services to any other client of the AHS Entities during the period that such personnel are dedicated to working on Athena's account. For the avoidance of doubt, members of management of, and administrators at, any of the AHS Entities who provide managerial or administrative services, directly or indirectly, to clients of the AHS Entities generally, including Athena, shall not be considered “dedicated to working on Athena's account” and will not be prevented from accessing or using Athena's Confidential Information to the extent required for such employees to provide the Services.
iii.    Until [___]** FTEs are working on Athena's account in India, workspaces and resources used by employees of AHS India working on Athena's account may be used on separate shifts by employees of AHS India who are not working on Athena's account.
iv.    Subject to compliance with applicable law, Athena may place its hardware at the AHS Entities' facilities to help support production speed; the AHS Entities shall be responsible for the safety and security of such hardware. Athena shall be responsible for the costs directly associated with placing its hardware at the AHS Entities' facilities, including maintenance, transportation, customs, and any other government levies and for obtaining any licenses or approvals from the applicable government or regulatory authority.
v.    Starting in 2015 and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, the parties hereto will explore Athena's leasing of space in the facility or office park in which AHS India provides services to Athena and the possibility of collaborative work on Athena's business.
f.    Exclusivity
i.    Attached hereto as Schedule 1 is a list of each existing and prospective client of any of the AHS Entities that provides physician revenue cycle or electronic health record products or services.
ii.    From the Effective Date until the first anniversary thereof, at all times when the most recent Ramp-up Milestone has been met, and at all times after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date while at least [___]** FTEs are working on Athena's account, the following restrictions shall apply:
A.    The AHS Entities shall not contract with any new clients that offer products and services that are similar in function to any offering of Athena to physician practices (e.g., any medical billing, practice management, electronic health record, patient communication, medical referral, patient pre-registration, insurance pre-authorization, health care business informatics, or mobile medical informatics product or service) (any of the foregoing, a “Competitive Offering”); provided that the AHS Entities may, at any time within 90 days following the Effective Date, contract with any prospective client of any of them identified prior to the Effective Date. Upon the request of AHS USA, Athena shall consent in writing to the AHS Entities providing products and services to new clients that offer a Competitive Offering, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; each such new client for which Athena consents to the provision of products or services by any of the AHS Entities shall be deemed to have been added to Schedule 2 without any further action by the parties.

h.    Business Process Transformation. Throughout the term of this Agreement, each party hereto shall make good faith efforts to commit reasonable time and resources toward improving the efficiency and quality of the parties' coordinated workflows involved in the provision of the Services, allocating to this effort at least one full-time employee with sufficient skills and experience to accomplish the mutually agreed process improvement goals. If they have not done so already, the parties hereto shall, within 60 days following the Effective Date, establish a common methodology that they will use to achieve mutually agreed workflow efficiency and quality improvements. Any savings realized from such initiatives would be shared on a mutually agreeable basis by the parties. Athena will use good faith efforts to develop with the AHS Entities hospital revenue cycle and payor-related business.
i.    Relationship Management
i.    Relationship Managers.

Athena shall remit payment to AHS USA for all invoiced amounts not subject to reasonable dispute by wire transfer to a bank account designated by AHS USA within thirty days after Athena's receipt of such invoice. If Athena does not cure any failure to pay invoiced amounts on a timely basis within ten days after notice from AHS USA of such failure, any unpaid balance will bear interest at 1.5% per month or, if less, the maximum rate allowed by law. In case Athena disputes in good faith all or any part of the invoice amount, then the same shall be communicated by Athena to AHS USA within seven days from the date of receipt of invoice from AHS USA. The parties shall mutually discuss and cooperate with each other to resolve the dispute relating to the invoice and, in case the parties are not able to come to a resolution, then the same shall be referred to a dispute resolution mechanism in Section 17; provided, however, that Athena hereby agrees to pay the entire undisputed invoice amount within the said payment period. All fees paid hereunder are non-refundable. Athena shall make all payments due hereunder without any right of set-off or chargeback. Within fifteen days after any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any SOW, Athena will pay to AHS USA any unpaid and undisputed fees due for the Services performed and other applicable charges, taxes, costs, and expenses to the effective date of termination or expiration, and AHS USA will credit (or pay in the event of a credit that cannot be applied) any unapplied credits properly due with respect to the Services performed to the date of termination or expiration, all as per the terms of the applicable SOW.

During the one year period after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, nothing in this section shall prohibit the AHS Entities from (i) engaging in general solicitation efforts not targeted at Athena or any of Athena's affiliates, such as, by way of example only, newspaper advertisements, Internet postings, or job fair events, or (ii) hiring any employee of Athena or any of Athena's affiliates who responds to any such general solicitation efforts set forth in (i) with Athena's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

11

b.    From the Effective Date until the first anniversary of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, none of the AHS Entities shall, either directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any client of Athena, or any potential client of Athena which any of the AHS Entities had contact on behalf of Athena, to purchase or use items or services competitive with those of Athena.

Each of the AHS Operating Companies is therefore acting as a “Business Associate” (as defined under HIPAA) of Athena in the course of performing the Services. Athena and the AHS Operating Companies therefore agree to be bound by the Business Associate Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Appendix B. The AHS Operating Companies shall not provide AHS USA with access to any Protected Health Information at any time on or after the Effective Date, and, if AHS USA should gain access to any Protected Health Information, AHS USA shall immediately and automatically become bound by the terms set forth in Appendix B.

ii.    use appropriate encryption when it transmits PHI electronically;
iii.    not store PHI beyond periods necessary to perform work under this Agreement and to conduct reasonable troubleshooting and quality control checking in connection with performance of such work;
iv.    maintain a formal program to comply with privacy and security requirements, including written policies;
v.    maintain a full-time privacy officer on location;

12.    Confidentiality
a.    Definition.  Subject to Section 12(b) below, “Confidential Information” means any and all information pertaining to the business, products, services, or technology of a party hereto, or any third party on whose behalf that party holds such information in confidence, that is disclosed by that party (the “Disclosing Party”) or its agents to another party (the “Recipient”) or its agents, and (i) is identified as Confidential Information under any provision of this Agreement; (ii) is clearly labeled or otherwise identified in writing as confidential; (iii) is identified orally as confidential at the time of disclosure with written confirmation within fifteen days thereafter; or (iv) would be apparent to a reasonable person, familiar with the Disclosing Party's business and the industry in which it operates, to be of a confidential or proprietary nature the maintenance of which is important to the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information shall include, but not be limited to, information considered “Confidential Information” under either the Existing NDA or the Pilot Agreement, financial information, business plans, marketing strategies, research and development activities, trade secrets, computer programs and codes, software design, network topology and security measures, claims processing rules and procedures, data relating to customers and customer transactions, pricing information, the terms of this Agreement (except to the extent that such terms must be disclosed by Athena or the AHS Entities in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States or similar entity in another jurisdiction), and information relating to the discussion or negotiation of any agreement or other relationship between any of the parties hereto.
b.    Exceptions.  Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes publicly available (other than through unauthorized disclosure by the Recipient or any of its affiliates, agents, or employees), (ii) is shown by written record to have been in the possession of or known to the Recipient prior to its disclosure hereunder, (iii) is shown by written record to have been independently developed by the Recipient without access to or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) is shown by written record to have been made available without restriction to the Recipient by any person other than the Disclosing Party or any of its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, or other advisors without breach of any obligation of confidentiality of such other person.
c.    Use and Disclosure.  From and after the Effective Date, the Recipient shall hold and maintain all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, without disclosure to any third party absent the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, and shall use such information solely for the purpose of performing the Recipient's obligations under this Agreement. The Recipient shall use reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information, provided that such care shall be at least as great as the precautions taken by the Recipient to protect its own confidential information. Regardless of any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information (i) on a “need-to-know” basis to any of the Recipient's (and in the case of AHS USAto the AHS Operating Companies and their) directors, officers, employees, and permitted contractors or subcontractors to the extent that the Recipient causes that individual to treat, hold, and maintain such Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and only use such Confidential Information for the purpose of performing the Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and (ii) as required by law or any court or governmental order, if, to the extent legally permissible, the Recipient provides the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order with respect thereto.
d.    Return.  Following termination of this Agreement and upon the Disclosing Party's request, the Recipient will promptly deliver to the Disclosing Party all materials containing or consisting of Confidential Information in the Recipient's actual or constructive possession or control. At such time, the Recipient will also destroy any Confidential Information in an intangible format (e.g., electronic or magnetic) that is in its actual or constructive possession or control on equipment or media owned or controlled by Recipient. Despite any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Recipient may retain for its records a single copy of any correspondence between the Recipient and the Disclosing Party that contains Confidential Information, which correspondence will be kept strictly confidential by the Recipient.

13

e.    Ownership.  All Confidential Information is and shall remain the property solely of the Disclosing Party or the third party that provided such information to the Disclosing Party, and the Recipient shall not obtain any right, title, or interest in or to any Confidential Information under this Agreement or by the performance of any obligations hereunder. The Recipient may not decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble any portion of the Disclosing Party's software, programs, or code.
f.    Remedies.  The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, due to the unique and highly sensitive nature of the Confidential Information and PHI, a breach of this Section 12 would cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which the Disclosing Party could not be adequately compensated by money damages. Accordingly, the Recipient agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available to the Disclosing Party in an action at law, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Recipient of the terms of this Section 12, the Disclosing Party shall, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security, be entitled to injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, specific performance of the terms hereof.

Athena shall bear the costs relating to each such records request.
iii.    Athena or its consultants may, upon reasonable advance written notice of no less than ten business days, conduct quarterly financial, operational, and security audits and assessments of the

Subject to the limitations imposed by Section 16(c), AHS USA shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Athena Indemnitees from and against any and all third party claims, suits, or proceedings to the extent a claim is based on Athena's permitted use of the AHS Entities' Property or Work Product under this Agreement constituting an infringement of a patent issued as of the Effective Date, trademark, trade name, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property right, and AHS USA will pay those damages and costs finally awarded against the Athena Indemnitees in any monetary settlement of such suit or action that are specifically attributable to such claim.

If AHS USA reasonably determines that neither of these options is commercially reasonable, AHS USA may terminate this Agreement and Athena's further use of any infringing portion of the AHS Entities' Property or Work Product and Athena will have no further payment obligations hereunder except with respect to accrued fees. The indemnity set forth in this Section 16 will be Athena's sole and exclusive remedy and the AHS Entities' entire liability and obligation for any claim of infringement or misappropriation in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement The provisions of the foregoing indemnity will not apply with respect to any instances of alleged infringement based upon or arising out of (X) the AHS Entities' compliance with Athena's designs or specifications in the development of Work Product or (Y) the use by Athena of the AHS Entities' Property or Work Product: (I) in any manner for which the AHS Entities' Property or Work Product was not designed; (II) that has been modified by Athena or any third party; (III) in connection with or in combination with any product, device, or software that has not been supplied or approved by the AHS Entities; (IV) other than in compliance with this Agreement; or (V) in a manner that is not reasonably foreseeable.
iii.    Indemnification by Athena.  Subject to the limitations imposed by Section 16(c), Athena shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the AHS Entities and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, managers, members, shareholders, principals, and employees (“AHS Entities Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Claims to the extent that such Claims relate to or arise out of (A) Athena's actions under Sections 16(a)(ii)(X) or (Y); (B) Athena's breach of Section 12 or Appendix B to, this Agreement; (C) acts or omissions of Athena or its representatives in the provision of data; (D) Athena's violation of any applicable law or regulation; (E) business rules or instructions provided by Athena to the AHS Indemnitees under this Agreement or any actions duly taken by the AHS Entities in conformity with this Agreement, without error or defect by the AHS Entities and at the written request or instruction of Athena; (F) Athena's provision of services to Athena's customers, including any malpractice claims and defects or deficiencies in the service or products provided by Athena to its customers (to the extent the same is not caused by an act or omission of the AHS Entities); (G) Athena's failure to pay any taxes as and when due; or (H) Athena's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with this Agreement. Athena shall be relieved of any obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold the AHS Entities Indemnitees harmless with respect to any such claims, demands, actions, damages, costs, and expenses to the extent they result from the acts or omissions of the AHS Entities Indemnitees.
iv.    IP Indemnification by Athena.  Subject to the limitations imposed by Section 16(c), Athena shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the AHS Entities Indemnitees from and against any and all third party claims, suits, or proceedings to the extent a claim is based on the AHS Entities Indemnitees permitted use of the Athena Property under this Agreement constituting an infringement of a patent issued as of the Effective Date, trademark, trade name, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property right, and Athena will pay those damages and costs finally awarded against the AHS Entities Indemnitees in any monetary settlement of such suit or action that are specifically attributable to such claim. In the event that AHS Entities Indemnitees' use of the same is enjoined as a result of such a claim, Athena shall, at its sole option and expense, either: (A) procure for the AHS Entities Indemnitees the rights necessary to continue using the Athena Property; or (B) replace or modify the affected portion of the Athena Property so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates the third party's rights, provided that such replaced or modified Athena Property maintains the same functionality. If Athena, in its reasonable discretion, determines that neither of these options is commercially reasonable, Athena may terminate 

19

this Agreement and the AHS Entities Indemnitees will have no further obligations hereunder. The indemnity set forth in this Section 16 will be the AHS Entities Indemnitees' sole and exclusive remedy and Athena's entire liability and obligation for any claim of infringement or misappropriation in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement The provisions of the foregoing indemnity will not apply with respect to any instances of alleged infringement based upon or arising out of the use of the Athena Property: (1) in any manner for which the Athena Property was not designed; (2) that has been modified byAHS Entities Indemnitees or any third party, unless approved in writing by Athena; (3) in connection with or in combination with any product, device, or software that has not been supplied or approved by Athena; (4) other than in compliance with this Agreement; or (5) in a manner that is not reasonably foreseeable.
v.    Procedure.  Each indemnitee shall promptly notify the party from which it is seeking indemnification of any Claim that might give rise to that party's obligations under this Section 16, and that party shall be relieved of such obligations as to that indemnitee if the indemnitee fails to provide such notice and that party is materially harmed by such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right to immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its sole choice to handle and defend the same, at the its sole expense. Each indemnitee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial, and defense of each Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnitee may participate, at its own expense, in such investigation, trial, and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. No party shall be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without that party's prior written authorization. No party shall settle any Claim on behalf of any indemnitee without that indemnitee's prior written consent.
b.    Force Majeure.  No party will be responsible or liable under this Agreement to the other party for any delay, error, lost data, failure to perform, interruption, or disruption in the Services or disclosure of data caused by or resulting from any natural fire, severe weather, earthquake, flood, or other natural disaster or act of God; power failure; failure of the world wide web, an internet service provider, the internet, or other non-proprietary means of communication/connectivity utilized in connection with the Services; hacking or electronic vandalism; or other unavailability of the means of electronic communication between the parties for the provision of information relating to or in connection with the Services; legal act of a public authority; or strike, lockout, riot, or act of war if such cause is beyond the reasonable control of the party otherwise chargeable and that party has otherwise acted with reasonable care and in conformity with this Agreement with respect to such cause. With respect to any disclosure, corruption, or unavailability of data, no party will be responsible under this Agreement if it has adopted reasonable, diligent, and appropriate steps to maintain the security of its communications and facilities and to maintain the security, availability, and integrity of practice and other information relating to the provision of the Services in its possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such cause will not include a party's lack of funds, lack of credit, or other financial inability to perform. If AHS USA or Athena intends to rely on any of the foregoing conditions to forgive its performance or lack of performance under this Agreement, it will timely so notify the other party in order to permit the other party in its sole but reasonable discretion to suspend or curtail its own performance under this Agreement for such time as the condition continues and, if such condition continues for seven business days or more, the party not affected by the force majeure event may terminate the Agreement upon one hundred and eighty days' notice to the other party, provided that such party provides such notice if at all within ten business days or such other period as mutually agreed between the parties following affected party's notification of reliance on this provision.
c.    Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no party hereto shall, in any event, regardless of the form of claim, be liable to the other party for (i) any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary, speculative, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, any loss of use, loss of data, business interruption, and loss of income or profits), regardless of whether it had an advance notice of the possibility of any such damages; or (ii) damages relating to any claim that accrued more than two years before the institution of adversarial proceedings thereon.

APPENDIX B
BUSINESS ASSOCIATE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.    Definitions.  For purposes of this Appendix, capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined in this Agreement or this Appendix shall have the same meaning as given to those terms in 45 CFR §§160 and 164, which definitions are incorporated in this Appendix by reference. For purposes of this Appendix, “Business Associate” refers to the AHS Operating Companies, and “Covered Entity” or “Athena” refers to Athena. “Privacy Rule” refers to the privacy standards adopted under HIPAA and set forth at 45 CFR Part 160 and Part 164 Subparts A and E. “Security Rule” refers to the security standards adopted under HIPAA and set forth at 45 CFR Part 160 and Part 164 Subparts A and C. “HIPAA Final Rule” refers to the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which amended the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules pursuant to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (the “HITECH Act”), extending certain HIPAA obligations to business associates and their subcontractors.
2.    Obligations and Activities of Business Associate.  Business Associate will:
a.    not use or disclose Protected Health Information that it receives from or on behalf of Athena or that it creates on behalf of Athena (collectively “PHI”) other than as permitted or required by this Appendix, or as required by law;
b.    not use or disclose PHI in a manner that would violate the requirements of the Privacy Rule when done by Athena, except as permitted by Section 3, below;
c.    use appropriate safeguards to prevent use or disclosure of the PHI other than as provided for by this Appendix and shall, after the compliance date of the HIPAA Final Rule, comply with the Security Rule with respect to Electronic PHI, to prevent use or disclosure of such information other than as provided for by the Agreement and this Appendix;

e.    mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that is known to Business Associate of a use or disclosure of PHI by Business Associate in violation of the requirements of this Appendix;
f.    report to Athena as soon as practicable and as required by HIPAA and the HITECH Act, as implemented by the HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule (“HIPAA Final Rule”) and any subsequent amendment thereto, or any subsequent rule or regulation interpreting or modifying HIPAA or the HITECH Act, any use or disclosure of PHI by Business Associate other than as provided for by this Agreement and any Security Incident (as defined in the Security Rule) with respect to electronic PHI;
g.    upon discovery of any Breach involving Unsecured PHI, notify Athena of that Breach without unreasonable delay; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that this Section constitutes notice by Business Associate to Athena of the ongoing existence and occurrence of attempted but Unsuccessful Security Incidents (as defined below) for which notice to Athena by Business Associate shall be required only upon request. “Unsuccessful Security Incidents” shall include, but not be limited to, pings and other broadcast attacks on Business Associate'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 PHI. Business Associate's notification to Athena shall include (i) identification, to the extent possible, of each individual whose Unsecured PHI has been, or is reasonably believed by Business Associate to have been accessed, used, or disclosed through the Breach; (ii) any other information known to Business Associate that Athena is required to include in its notice to affected individuals; and (iii) any other information that would need to be included in Athena's accounting of disclosures under HIPAA or the HITECH Act, as implemented by the HIPAA Final Rule and any subsequent amendment thereto or any subsequent rule or regulation interpreting or modifying HIPAA or the HITECH Act;

27

h.    ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom it provides PHI agrees to the same restrictions and conditions that apply through this Agreement to Business Associate with respect to such information;
i.    provide access, at the request of Athena, to PHI in a Designated Record Set, to Athena or, as directed by Athena, to an Individual in order to meet the requirements under 45 CFR § 164.524;

l.    document such disclosures of PHI and information related to such disclosures as would be required for Athena to respond to a request by an Individual for an accounting of disclosures of PHI in accordance with 45 CFR § 164.528;
m.    provide to Athena or an Individual, information collected in accordance with this Agreement, to permit Athena to respond to a request by that Individual for an accounting of disclosures of PHI in accordance with 45 CFR § 164.528;
n.    establish and enforce appropriate clearance procedures and supervision to assure that its workforce follows requirements consistent with HIPAA;
o.    act immediately and effectively to terminate access to PHI of any of its staff upon such staff member's termination or reassignment;
p.    provide appropriate training for its staff to assure that its staff complies with its obligations consistent with the requirements of HIPAA; and
q.    implement appropriate (i) disposal and reuse procedures with respect to documents and equipment, (ii) authentication and access controls, and (iii) appropriate encryption to protect PHI consistent with the requirements of the Security Rule.
3.    Permitted Uses and Disclosures by Business Associate.
a.    Except as otherwise limited in this Agreement or by other applicable federal or state law, Business Associate may use PHI to perform functions, activities, or services for, or on behalf of, Athena, and for the proper management and administration of Business Associate, provided that such use would not violate the Privacy Rule if done by Athena. To the extent Business Associate is carrying out any of Athena's obligations under the Privacy Rule pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or this Appendix, Business Associate shall comply with the requirements of the Privacy Rule that apply to Athena in the performance of such obligation(s). Business Associate will not record, store, or retain PHI in any form except as and to the extent necessary to provide its services. Business Associate will immediately cease such use when the provision of its services to Athena is complete.
b.    Business Associate will not disclose PHI to any person or entity other than Athena or, to the extent required for the performance of Business Associate's services to Athena, the individual to whom such PHI relates or the medical practice from which that PHI was obtained. Business Associate may use PHI to report violations of law to appropriate federal and state authorities, consistent with 45 C.F.R. § 164.502(j)(1).
c.    With Athena's prior written consent, Business Associate may use PHI to provide Data Aggregation services as permitted by 45 C.F.R. § 164.504(e)(2)(i)(B).

28

d.    With Athena's prior written consent, Business Associate may create de-identified PHI in accordance with the standards set forth in 45 C.F.R. § 164.514(b) and may use or disclose such de-identified data for any purpose.
4.    Obligations of Athena.
a.    Athena shall notify Business Associate of any limitation(s) in an applicable notice of privacy practices in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.520, to the extent that such limitation may affect Business Associate's use or disclosure of PHI. Athena shall provide such notice no later than fifteen days prior to the effective date of the limitation.
b.    Athena shall notify Business Associate of any changes in, or revocation of, permission by an Individual to use or disclose PHI, to the extent that such changes may affect Business Associate's use or disclosure of PHI. Athena shall provide such notice no later than fifteen days prior to the effective date of the change. Athena shall obtain any consent or authorization that may be required by the HIPAA Privacy Rule, or applicable state law, prior to furnishing Business Associate with PHI.
c.    Athena shall notify Business Associate of any restrictions on the use or disclosure of PHI that Athena has agreed to in accordance with 45 CFR § 164.522, to the extent that such restriction may affect Business Associate's use or disclosure of PHI. Athena shall provide such notice no later than fifteen days prior to the effective date of the restriction.
d.    Athena shall not request Business Associate to use or disclose PHI in any manner that would not be permissible under the Privacy Rule, the Security Rule, or the HIPAA Final Rule if done by Athena, except as permitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of this Appendix.
5.    Term and Termination.
a.    Upon material breach of the terms of this Appendix by Business Associate, Athena:
i.    will provide an opportunity for Business Associate to cure the breach or to end the violation, and, if Business Associate does not cure the breach or end the violation within the reasonable time specified by Athena, Athena will have the right to terminate this Agreement effective on notice of termination, without further liability by reason of such termination; or
ii.    if cure is not possible, will have the right immediately to terminate this Agreement without further liability by reason of such termination;
b.    Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Business Associate will return all PHI. Business Associate will retain no copies of PHI in any form.
