determines that no further services will be provided by Business Associate, including termination of any
written agreement covering the Services. In addition, upon Covered Entity’s knowledge of a material
breach by Business Associate, Covered Entity may, in its sole discretion, either (1) provide Business

shall return or destroy all PHI received from Covered Entity. This provision shall also apply to PHI that is
in the possession of subcontractors or agents of Business Associate. Business Associate shall retain no
copies of the PHI.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Business Associate determines
that returning or destroying the PHI is infeasible, Business Associate shall provide to Covered Entity
notification of the conditions that make return or destruction infeasible. Upon mutual agreement of the
Parties that return or destruction of PHI is infeasible, Business Associate shall extend the protections of this
BA Agreement to such PHI and limit further uses and disclosures of such PHI to those purposes that make
the return or destruction infeasible, for so long as Business Associate maintains such PHI.

from time to time as may be required to ensure that Covered Entity and Business Associate comply with
changes in state and federal laws and regulations relating to the privacy, security and confidentiality of
PHI. Covered Entity may terminate this BA Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice in the event
that Business Associate does not promptly enter into an amendment that Covered Entity, in its sole
discretion, deems sufficient to ensure that Covered Entity will be able to comply with such laws and
regulations.

of this BA Agreement shall survive the termination of this BA Agreement.
c. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in this BA Agreement shall be resolved in favor of a
meaning that permits Covered Entity to comply with applicable law protecting the privacy, security and
confidentiality of PHI, including, but not limited to, HIPAA and the HIPAA Regulations. To the extent that
any provisions of this BA Agreement conflict with the provisions of any other agreement or understanding
between the parties, this BA Agreement shall control.
e. State Law. Nothing in this BA Agreement shall be construed to require Business
Associate to use or disclose PHI without a written authorization from an individual who is a subject of the
PHI, or written authorization from any other person, where such authorization would be required under
state law for such use or disclosure.
f. Injunctions. Covered Entity and Business Associate agree that any violation of the
provisions of this BA Agreement may cause irreparable harm to Covered Entity. Accordingly, in addition
to any other remedies available to Covered Entity at law or in equity, Covered Entity shall be entitled to an

explicit threat thereof, without any bond or other security being required and without the necessity of
demonstrating actual damages.

Entity from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and other expenses resulting from, or
relating to, the acts or omissions of Business Associate in connection with the representations, duties and
obligations of Business Associate under this BA Agreement.
