BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT ADDENDUM

This HIPAA BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT ADDENDUM (the "BAA Addendum"), by and between Digital Physician and the above-referenced Client, is hereby incorporated into the above EULA and is effective as of the Effective Date of the Agreement.

RECITALS

A. Client and Digital Physician are parties to one or more agreements (each such agreement, a "Covered Contract," and collectively, the "Agreement") pursuant to which Digital Physician provides certain services to Client, and, in connection with those services, Client discloses to Digital Physician certain health information (the "Protected Health Information" as defined in 45 CFR §164.504) that is subject to protection under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), and certain regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to implement certain provisions of HIPAA (herein "HIPAA Regulations" found at 45 CFR Parts 160-164).

B. Digital Physician, as a recipient of Protected Health Information from Client, is a "Business Associate" as that term is defined in the HIPAA Regulations.

C. Pursuant to the HIPAA Regulations, all Business Associates of entities such as Client must, as a condition of receiving Protected Health Information in the course of doing business with Client, agree in writing to certain mandatory provisions regarding, among other things, the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information.

D. The purpose of this Addendum is to satisfy the requirements of the HIPAA Regulations, including, but not limited to, 45 CFR §164.504(e), as the same may be amended from time to time.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

1. Scope of Use of Protected Health Information. Digital Physician may not: (a) use or disclose Protected Health Information it receives from Client for any purpose other than the purposes contemplated by the Agreement, as required or allowed under the HIPAA Regulations, or as otherwise required by law; or (b) use or disclose Protected Health Information in a manner that violates or would violate the HIPAA Regulations if such activity were engaged in by Client. Client hereby represents and warrants (i) that the execution and performance of this Addendum will not conflict with or violate any provision of any law having applicability to Client; (ii) that Client has the right to provide the Protected Health Information provided to Digital Physician under this Addendum; and (iii) that the use, provision of access and/or disclosure by Digital Physician of any Protected Health Information as authorized or contemplated by this Agreement will not conflict with or violate any provision of any law having applicability to either of the Parties, including, without limitation, HIPAA and the HIPAA Regulations, nor constitute a tort against any third party, nor constitute a breach of contractual obligations between any third party and Client.

2. Safeguards for the Protection of Protected Health Information. Digital Physician will use reasonable efforts to implement and maintain such business and technological safeguards as are necessary to ensure that the Protected Health Information disclosed between Client and Digital Physician is not used or disclosed by Digital Physician except as is provided in the Agreement.

3. Reporting of Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Digital Physician shall promptly report to Client any use or disclosure of Protected Health Information of which Digital Physician becomes aware that is not provided for or permitted in the Agreement or the HIPAA Regulations. Digital Physician shall permit Client to investigate any such report in accordance with Section 8 of this Addendum.

4. Use of Subcontractors. To the extent that Digital Physician uses one or more subcontractors or agents to provide services under the Agreement, and such subcontractors or agents receive or have access to the Protected Health Information, Digital Physician shall either sign a Business Associate Agreement with such subcontractor or agent containing substantially the same restrictions and conditions related to the Protected Health Information as those that apply to Digital Physician under this addendum, or ensure that such subcontractor or agent agrees to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect such information consistent with the requirements of 45 CFR 164.314(a)(1)(i).

5. Data Transfer Security. Digital Physician will take reasonable measures to protect the security and integrity of the Protected Health Information when electronically transferring such information.

6. Access Security. Digital Physician will take reasonable security measures to protect the Protected Health Information from unauthorized access. Access to Digital Physician's computer networks and systems and the Protected Health Information will be controlled via a user ID and password. Digital Physician IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE OF A USER ID OR PASSWORD, OR FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS ADDENDUM ARISING AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE BY OR ON BEHALF OF CLIENT.

7. Authorized Access to and Alteration of Protected Health Information. In order to help ensure the accuracy of the Protected Health Information, Digital Physician, on an ongoing basis, will provide Client access for inspection to any such Protected Health Information then retained in Digital Physician's possession. If any of the Protected Health Information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete, Client may submit amendments or corrections to the Protected Health Information and Digital Physician shall promptly incorporate all such amendments or corrections. Digital Physician shall cooperate promptly with Client in responding to any request made by any subject of such information to Client to inspect and/or copy such information. Digital Physician may not deny Client access to any Protected Health Information if such information is requested by the subject seeking access to it.

8. De-identified Information. Provided that Digital Physician implements appropriate de-identification criteria in accordance with the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information set forth in 45 C.F.R. §164.514(b), Client acknowledges and agrees that de-identified information is not Protected Health Information as defined in the applicable regulations and that Digital Physician may use such de-identified information for any lawful purpose.

9. Accounting, Audits, and Inspection.

a. Digital Physician will keep an accounting of all disclosures, outside its normal course of business, of the Protected Health Information (the "Disclosure Accounting") on an ongoing basis and maintain the Disclosure Accounting for a period of at least six (6) years. At a minimum, the Disclosure Accounting will contain (i) the date of the disclosure; (ii) the name of the entity or person who received the Protected Health Information and, if known, the address of such entity or person; (iii) a brief description of the Protected Health Information disclosed; and (iv) a brief statement of the purpose of the disclosure that reasonably informs the individual of the basis for the disclosure; or in lieu of such statement a copy of the subject's written authorization or request for disclosure pursuant to the HIPAA Regulations. Digital Physician will provide the Disclosure Accounting to Client or a subject individual within sixty (60) days of receiving a written request from Client or such subject individual.

b. Subject to compliance with Digital Physician's security requirements, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and/or Client, or their respective authorized agents or contractors, may, at their expense, examine Digital Physician's facilities, systems, procedures and records related to the Protected Health Information, as may be required to determine that Digital Physician is in compliance with the HIPAA Regulations, the Agreement or this Addendum. If it is determined that Digital Physician is in violation of the HIPAA Regulations, the Agreement or this Addendum, Digital Physician shall promptly remedy any such violation and shall certify the same in writing. The fact that Client inspects, or fails to inspect, or has the right to inspect, Digital Physician's facilities, systems and procedures does not relieve Digital Physician of its responsibility to comply with this Addendum, nor does Client's failure to detect, or to detect but fail to call Digital Physician's attention to or require remediation of any unsatisfactory practice, constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of Client's enforcement rights.

10. Right of Termination. In the event that Digital Physician breaches a material term of this Addendum and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof, Client will have the right to terminate the relevant Covered Contract under which Client disclosed the Protected Health Information that is the subject of the relevant breach.

11. Effect of Termination. Upon the termination or expiration of a Covered Contract for any reason, Digital Physician, at its option, will either (i) return, delete, purge or destroy, all Protected Health Information received from Client under such Covered Contract that Digital Physician maintains in any form, or (ii) if Digital Physician determines that such return or destruction is not feasible, Digital Physician will continue to restrict such Protected Health Information in compliance with this Addendum.

12. Incorporation; Effect on Agreement. This Addendum is incorporated into and made part of each Covered Contract and in each case is subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, provided that, in the event that a conflict arises between this Addendum and any Covered Contract (exclusive of this Addendum), the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall govern. Except as specifically required to implement the purposes of this Addendum, and otherwise except to the extent inconsistent with this Addendum, all other terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Parties hereby ratify and affirm the Agreement except as superseded or modified by this Addendum.

13. Construction. This Addendum shall be construed as broadly as necessary to implement and comply with the HIPAA Regulations. The parties agree that any ambiguity in this Addendum shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that complies and is consistent with the HIPAA Regulations.
