i. Governmental Access to Records. Associate shall keep records and make its
internal practices,books and records relating to the use and disclosure of Protected Information
available to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (the

information of Associate to which CE has access during the course of such inspection. The fact
that CE inspects, or fails to inspect, or has the right to inspect,Associate's facilities,systems,
books, records, agreements,policies and procedures does not relieve Associate of its
responsibility to comply with this Addendum, nor does CE's(i) failure to detect or(ii)detection,
but failure to notify Associate or require Associate's remediation of any unsatisfactory practices,
constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of CE's enforcement rights under the Contract.
q. Safeguards During Transmission. Associate shall be responsible for using
appropriate safeguards,including encryption of PHI,to maintain and ensure the confidentiality,
integrity and security of Protected Information transmitted pursuant to the Contract, in

individual's Protected Information. Associate will not respond directly to an individual's
requests to restrict the use or disclosure of Protected Information or to send all communication of
Protect Information to an alternate address. Associate will refer such requests to the CE so that

direction to Associate.
3. Obligations of CE.

PHI,CE shall notify Associate of any restriction on the use or disclosure of Protected
Information that CE has agreed to in accordance with 45 C.F.R. Section 164.522.
4. Termination.
a. Material Breach. In addition to any other provisions in the Contract regarding
breach, a breach by Associate of any provision of this Addendum,as determined by CE, shall
constitute a material breach of this Contract and shall provide grounds for immediate termination
of this Contract by CE pursuant to the provisions of the Contract covering termination for cause,
if any. If the Contract contains no express provisions regarding termination for cause,the
following terms and conditions shall apply:
(1) Default. If Associate refuses or fails to timely perform any of the
provisions of this Contract, CE may notify Associate in writing of the non-performance, and if
not promptly corrected within the time specified, CE may terminate this Contract. Associate
shall continue performance of this Contract to the extent it is not terminated and shall be liable
for excess costs incurred in procuring similar goods or services elsewhere.
(2) Associate's Duties. Notwithstanding termination of this Contract, and
subject to any directions from CE, Associate shall take timely,reasonable and necessary action
to protect and preserve property in the possession of Associate in which CE has an interest.
(3) Compensation. Payment for completed supplies delivered and accepted
by CE shall be at the Contract price. In the event of a material breach under paragraph 4a, CE
may withhold amounts due Associate as CE deems necessary to protect CE against loss from
third party claims of improper use or disclosure and to reimburse CE for the excess costs
incurred in procuring similar goods and services elsewhere.
(4) Erroneous Termination for Default. If after such termination it is
determined,for any reason,that Associate was not in default,or that Associate's action/inaction
was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience, and the rights
and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if this Contract had been terminated for
convenience, as described in this Contract.
b. Reasonable Steps to Cure Breach. If CE knows of a pattern of activity or practice
of Associate that constitutes a material breach or violation of the Associate's obligations under
the provisions of this Addendum or another arrangement and does not terminate this Contract
pursuant to Section 4(a), then CE shall take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such
violation.. If CE's efforts to cure such breach or end such violation are unsuccessful,CE shall
either(i)terminate the Contract, if feasible or(ii) if termination of this Contract is not feasible,
CE shall report Associate's breach or violation to the Secretary of the Department of Health and
Human Services. If Associate knows of a pattern of activity or practice of a Subcontractor or

EXHIBIT C
agent that constitutes a material breach or violation of the Subcontractor's or agent's obligations
under the written agreement between Associate and the Subcontractor or agent,Associate shall
take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such violation, if feasible.
c. Judicial or Administrative Proceedings. Either party may terminate the
Contract, effective immediately, if(i)the other party is named as a defendant in a criminal
proceeding for a violation of the HIPAA Rules or other security or privacy laws or(ii)a finding
or stipulation that the other party has violated any standard or requirement of the HIPAA Rules
or other security or privacy laws is made in any administrative or civil proceeding in which the
party has been joined.
d. Effect of Termination.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection,upon termination
of this Contract, for any reason, Associate shall return or destroy all Protected Information that
Associate or its agents or Subcontractors still maintain in any form, and shall retain no copies of
such Protected Information. If Associate elects to destroy the PHI, Associate shall certify in
writing to CE that such PHI has been destroyed.
(2) If Associate believes that returning or destroying the Protected
Information is not feasible, Associate shall promptly provide CE notice of the conditions making
return or destruction infeasible. Associate shall continue to extend the protections of Sections
2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e) of this Addendum to such Protected Information, and shall limit
further use of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction of such PHI
infeasible.
5. Injunctive Relief. CE shall have the right to injunctive and other equitable and legal
relief against Associate or any of its Subcontractors or agents in the event of any use or
disclosure of Protected Information in violation of this Contract or applicable law.
6. No Waiver of Immunity. No term or condition of this Contract shall be construed or
interpreted as a waiver, express or implied, of any of the immunities,rights,benefits,protection,
or other provisions of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, CRS 24-10-101 et seg. or the
Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. 2671 et seq. as applicable, as now in effect or hereafter
amended.
7. Limitation of Liability. Any limitation of Associate's liability in the Contract shall be
inapplicable to the terms and conditions of this Addendum.
8. Disclaimer. CE makes no warranty or representation that compliance by Associate with
this Contractor the HIPAA Rules will be adequate or satisfactory for Associate's own purposes.
Associate is solely responsible for all decisions made by Associate regarding the safeguarding of
PHI.
9. Certification. To the extent that CE determines an examination is necessary in order to
comply with CE's legal obligations pursuant to the HIPAA Rules relating to certification of its

Associate's facilities, systems,procedures and records as may be necessary for such agents or
contractors to certify to CE the extent to which Associate's security safeguards comply with the
HIPAA Rules or this Addendum.
10. Amendment.
a. Amendment to Comply with Law. The parties acknowledge that state and federal
laws relating to data security and privacy are rapidly evolving and that amendment of this
Addendum may be required to provide for procedures to ensure compliance with such
developments. The parties specifically agree to take such action as is necessary to implement the
standards and requirements of the HIPAA Rules and other applicable laws relating to the
confidentiality, integrity, availability and security of PHI. The parties understand and agree that
CE must receive satisfactory written assurance from Associate that Associate will adequately
safeguard all Protected Information and that it is Associate's responsibility to receive satisfactory
written assurances from Associate's Subcontractors and agents. Upon the request of either party,
the other party agrees to promptly enter into negotiations concerning the terms of an amendment
to this Addendum embodying written assurances consistent with the standards and requirements
of the HIPAA Rules or other applicable laws. CE may terminate this Contract upon thirty(30)
days written notice in the event(i)Associate does not promptly enter into negotiations to amend
this Contract when requested by CE pursuant to this Section,or(ii)Associate does not enter into
an amendment to this Contract providing assurances regarding the safeguarding of PHI that CE,
in its sole discretion, deems sufficient to satisfy the standards and requirements of the HIPAA
Rules.
b. Amendment of Attachment A. Attachment A may be modified or amended by
mutual agreement of the parties in writing from time to time without formal amendment of this
Addendum.
11. Assistance in Litigation or Administrative Proceedings. Associate shall make itself,and
any Subcontractors, employees or agents assisting Associate in the performance of its obligations
under the Contract, available to CE,at no cost to CE up to a maximum of 30 hours, 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
the HIPAA Rules or other laws relating to security and privacy or PHI, except where Associate
or its Subcontractor, employee or agent is a named adverse party.
12. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied in this Contract is intended to
confer,nor shall anything herein confer,upon any person other than CE, Associate and their
respective successors or assigns, any rights,remedies,obligations or liabilities whatsoever.
13. Interpretation and Order of Precedence. The provisions of this Addendum shall prevail
over any provisions in the Contract that may conflict or appear inconsistent with any provision in
this Addendum. Together, the Contract and this Addendum shall be interpreted as broadly as
necessary to implement and comply with the HIPAA Rules. The parties agree that any
ambiguity in this Contract shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that complies and is consistent

Associate's obligations under Section 4(d) ("Effect of Termination") and Section 12 ("No Third
Party Beneficiaries") shall survive termination of this Contract and shall be enforceable by CE as
