and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if this Contract had been terminated for
convenience, as described in this Contract.

such Protected Information. If Associate elects to destroy the PHI,Associate shall certify in
writing to CE that such PHI has been destroyed.

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
