SECTION 2.01. Services; Scope
(a) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the relevant Service Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, General Electric shall provide or cause to be provided to the Company the services listed in Schedule A (the “GE Service(s)”). The “GE Services” also shall include (1) any Services to be provided by GE to the Company as agreed pursuant to Section 10.03(a), (2) the investment-related information technology services set forth on Schedule A-1 (the “Investment IT Services”), and (3) any GE Substitute Service; provided, however, that (i) the scope of each GE Service shall be substantially the same as the scope of such service provided by GE to the Company or the Company’s predecessor, as applicable, on the last day prior to the date hereof that such service was provided by GE to the Company or the Company’s predecessor, as applicable, in the ordinary course, (ii) the use of each GE Service by the Company shall include use by the Company’s contractors in substantially the same manner as used by the contractors of the Company or the Company’s predecessor, as applicable, prior to the Closing and (iii) except as provided in Section 10.10, nothing in this Agreement shall require that any GE Service be provided other than for use in, or in connection with the Genworth Business. Nothing in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or otherwise limit
5
the volume or quantity of any GE Service, provided that certain volume or quantity changes with respect to a GE Service may require the parties to negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon a price change with respect to such GE Service pursuant to Section 10.10. If, for any reason, GE is unable to provide any GE Service (other than an Investment IT Service) to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, GE shall provide to the Company a substantially equivalent service (a “GE Basic Substitute Service”) at or below the cost for the substituted GE Service as set forth in Schedule A and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Standard for Services. If, for any reason, GE is unable to provide any Investment IT Service to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or GE elects to provide a substitute service in lieu of such Investment IT Service, GE shall provide to the Company a substantially equivalent service (a “GE Substitute Investment IT Service”) at or below the cost for the substituted Investment IT Service as set forth in Schedule A-1 (subject to any increase in such costs provided for in the Investment Management Agreements) and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Standard for Services; provided, however, (i) GE shall provide the Recipient of such GE Substitute Investment IT Service with reasonable advance notice of the proposed commencement date of such GE Substitute Investment IT Service and (ii) upon such Recipient’s request, GE shall provide such Recipient with information regarding GE’s plans to substitute the existing Investment IT Service with the GE Substitute Investment IT Service and permit such Recipient to (A) consult with applicable GE personnel regarding the proposed GE Substitute Investment IT Service and the third party provider thereof and (B) participate in negotiations with any third party provider of such GE Substitute Investment IT Service, provided that GE shall have the exclusive right, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to ultimately select the GE Substitute Investment IT Service and the provider thereof. Together, the GE Basic Substitute Services and the GE Substitute Investment IT Services shall be the “GE Substitute Services.”
(b) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the relevant Service Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Genworth shall provide or cause to be provided to GE the services listed in Schedule B (the “Company Service(s)”). The “Company Services” also shall include (1) any Services to be provided by the Company to GE as agreed pursuant to Section 10.03(a) and (2) any Company Substitute Service; provided, however, that (i) the scope of each Company Service shall be substantially the same as the scope of such service provided by the Company or the Company’s predecessor, as applicable, to GE on the last day prior to the date hereof that such service was provided by the Company or the Company’s predecessor, as applicable, to GE in the ordinary course, (ii) the use of each Company Service by GE shall include use by GE’s contractors in substantially the same manner as used by the contractors of GE prior to the Closing and (iii) except as provided in Section 10.10, nothing in this Agreement shall require that any Company Service be provided other than for use in, or in connection with (A) the Retained Businesses or (B) the GEFAHI Divested Companies. Nothing in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or otherwise limit the volume or quantity of any Company Service, provided that certain volume or quantity changes with respect to a Company Service may require the parties to negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon a price change with respect to such Company Service pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof. The Company Services shall not include any services the Company provides or causes to be provided pursuant to the Business Services Agreement. If, for any reason, the Company is unable to provide any Company Service to GE pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the
6
Company shall provide to GE a substantially equivalent service (a “Company Substitute Service”) at or below the cost for the substituted Company Service as set forth in Schedule B and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the Standard for Services.
(c) The GE Services shall include, and the Service Charges reflect charges for, such maintenance, support, error correction, training, updates and enhancements normally and customarily provided by GE to its Subsidiaries that receive such services. If the Company requests that GE provide a custom modification in connection with any GE Service, the Company shall be responsible for the cost of such custom modification, and to the extent such custom modification constitutes Software and such Software and all Intellectual Property therein is owned by GE, GE hereby assigns such Software and all Intellectual Property therein to the Company and the Company hereby grants GE a perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, with the right to sublicense, to use and modify such Software. The GE Services shall include all functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks, and the materials, documentation, resources, rights and licenses to be used, granted or provided by GE that are not specifically described in this Agreement as a part of the GE Services, but are incidental to, and would normally be considered an inherent part of, or necessary subpart included within, the GE Services or are otherwise necessary for GE to provide, or the Company to receive, the GE Services.
(d) The Company Services shall include, and the Service Charges reflect charges for, such maintenance, support, error correction, training, updates and enhancements normally and customarily provided by the Company to its Subsidiaries that receive such services. If GE requests that the Company provide a custom modification in connection with any Company Service, GE shall be responsible for the cost of such custom modification, and to the extent such custom modification constitutes Software and such Software and all Intellectual Property therein is owned by the Company, the Company hereby assigns such Software and all Intellectual Property therein to GE and GE hereby grants the Company a perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, with the right to sublicense, to use and modify such Software. The Company Services shall include all functions, responsibilities, activities and tasks, and the materials, documentation, resources, rights and licenses to be used, granted or provided by the Company that are not specifically described in this Agreement as a part of the Company Services, but are incidental to, and would normally be considered an inherent part of, or necessary subpart included within, the Company Services or are otherwise necessary for the Company to provide, or GE to receive, the Company Services.
(e) This Agreement (including Section 4.03 hereof) shall not assign any rights to Technology or Intellectual Property between the parties other than as specifically set forth herein.
(f) The parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with the implementation, provision, receipt and transition of the Services, there will be certain nonrecurring, out-of-pocket conversion costs incurred by GE or the Company. With respect to each GE Service, GE shall either reimburse the Company after the Service Termination Date for all actual, out-of-pocket conversion costs incurred by the Company and related to such GE Service or, after consultation with the Company, pay such conversion costs directly on an as incurred basis, in either case regardless of whether the Company replaces the GE Service with
7
the same application, system, vendor or other means of effecting the GE Service; provided, however, that GE’s payment and reimbursement obligations under this Section 2.01(f) and Section 3.3.1 of the European Transition Services Agreement shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Total Conversion Cost Amount. GE shall be solely responsible for paying any one-time conversion and related costs with respect to the Company Services, and any such one-time conversion or related costs shall not be included in the Total Conversion Cost Amount.
(g) Prior to GE’s payment of or reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket conversion costs pursuant to Section 2.01(f) above, the Company shall provide GE with an invoice accompanied by reasonably detailed data and documentation sufficient to evidence the out-of-pocket expenses for which the Company is seeking payment or reimbursement. Upon receipt of such invoice and data and documentation, GE shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.01(f), either pay the amount of such invoice directly in accordance with GE’s general payment terms with vendors or reimburse the Company for its payment of the invoice within 30 days of the date of GE’s receipt of such invoice and request for reimbursement from the Company. If GE in good faith disputes the invoiced amount, then the parties shall work together to resolve such dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within 30 days, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.02. The parties acknowledge and agree that no prior approval shall be required from GE for the Company to seek any reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.01(f) and this Section 2.01(g).
(h) Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Provider and the Recipient of any Service shall cooperate with one another and use their good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to effect the efficient, timely and seamless provision and receipt of such Service.
(i) Any Software delivered by a Provider hereunder shall be delivered, at the election of the Provider, either (i) with the assistance of the Provider, through electronic transmission or downloaded by the Recipient from the GE intranet, or (ii) by installation by Provider on the relevant equipment with retention by Provider of all tangible media on which such Software resides. Provider and Recipient acknowledge and agree that no tangible medium containing such Software (including any enhancements, upgrades or updates) will be transferred to Recipient at any time for any reason under the terms of this Agreement, and that Provider will, at all times, retain possession and control of any such tangible medium used or consumed by Provider in the performance of this Agreement. Each party shall comply with all reasonable security measures implemented by the other party in connection with the delivery of Software.

COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS; PAYMENTS
SECTION 5.01. Costs and Disbursements; Payments.
(a) Schedules A, A-1 and B hereto set forth with respect to each Service to be provided a description of the charges (the “Service Charges”) for such Service or the basis for the determination thereof. During the 24-month period following the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding the Service Charges set forth on Schedule B, the aggregate Service Charges payable by GE to the Company shall, subject to reduction following termination of any Company Service pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(ii) or Section 9.01(a)(iii), be equal to $40 million, and such aggregate amount shall be paid by GE to the Company in eight equal quarterly installments payable on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 during such 24-month period. At the time of each quarterly payment, GE also shall pay the Service Charges for the Company Services provided with respect to the GEFAHI Divested Companies as identified on Schedule B in the three months ending on the date the quarterly payment is due for so long as such Company Services are rendered. Further, in connection with performance of the Services and in connection with the Undertakings, the Provider may incur certain out-of-pocket costs (the “Other Costs”), which shall, without duplication, either be paid directly by the Recipient or reimbursed to the Provider by the Recipient; provided that any Other Costs shall only be payable by the Company or GE, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 5.01(a) if (i) such Other Costs have been authorized in writing by the Company Services Manager (if the Company is the Recipient) or the GE Services Manager (if GE is the Recipient) prior to having been incurred by the Provider and (ii) the Recipient receives from the Provider reasonably detailed data and other documentation sufficient to support the calculation of amounts due to the Provider as a result of such Other Costs.
(b) Notwithstanding the Service Charges set forth in Schedule A with respect to the Company’s use of GE’s U.S. shared data center services supporting GE’s U.S. businesses, GE shall reduce the Service Charges with respect to such services by $2 million per quarter for a period of two years from the date hereof.
(c) Except with respect to Service Charges for the provision of the Company Services during the 24-month period referenced in Section 5.01(a):
(i) Prior to the Trigger Date, the Provider and Recipient shall arrange for the payment of all Service Charges and Other Costs through the GE Internal Billing System (“IBS”). The Recipient shall have the right to dispute any Service Charges and Other Costs settled through the IBS during any calendar quarter by delivering written notice of such dispute, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis therefor, to the Provider within, and no later than, 60 days after the end of such quarter. As soon as practicable after receipt of any such notice, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonably detailed data and documentation sufficient to support the calculation of any Service Charges and Other Costs that are the subject of the dispute. If the Provider’s furnishing of such information does not promptly resolve such dispute, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.02.
16
(ii) From and after the Trigger Date, the Provider shall deliver an invoice to the Recipient on a monthly basis (or at such other frequency as is consistent with the basis on which the Service Charges are determined and, if applicable, charged to Affiliates of the Provider) in arrears for the Service Charges and any Other Costs due to the Provider under this Agreement. The Recipient shall pay the amount of such invoice to the Provider in U.S. dollars within seventy-five (75) days of the date of such invoice, provided that, to the extent consistent with past practice with respect to Services rendered outside the United States, payments may be made in local currency. If the Recipient fails to pay such amount (excluding any amount contested in good faith) by such date, the Recipient shall be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest on such amount at the lesser of (i) the three (3) month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 100 basis points or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, from the date the payment was due through the date of payment. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Provider of any reasonable written request by the Recipient, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonably detailed data and documentation sufficient to support the calculation of any amount due to the Provider under this Agreement for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of such calculation. If, after reviewing such data and documentation, the Recipient disputes the Provider’s calculation of any amount due to the Provider, then the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 8.02.

To the extent practicable, such additional or other services shall be provided on terms substantially similar to those applicable to Services of similar types and otherwise on terms consistent with those contained in this Agreement.

(c) A Provider shall promptly notify the applicable Recipient of, and coordinate with the Recipient the response to and settlement of, any claim for Taxes asserted by applicable taxing authorities for which the Recipient is alleged to be financially responsible hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Recipient’s liability for such Taxes is conditioned upon the Provider providing the Recipient notification within ten (10) business days of receiving any proposed assessment of any additional Taxes, interest or penalty due by the Provider.
(d) Each Recipient shall be entitled to receive and to retain any refund of Taxes paid to a Provider pursuant to this Agreement. In the event a Provider shall be entitled to receive a refund of any Taxes paid by a Recipient to the Provider, the Provider shall promptly pay, or cause the payment of, such refund to the Recipient.

Nothing in clause (iv) of the preceding sentence shall be deemed to waive any party’s rights or relieve or otherwise satisfy any party’s obligations under Section 6.12 of the Master Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GE’s obligation to provide Services to a Genworth Divested Unit and the Company’s obligation to provide Services to a GE Divested Unit shall be subject to (A) at the sole discretion of the Provider of the Services, the implementation of new Service Charges (solely with respect to Services to be provided to such Divested Unit) proposed by the Provider of such Services that are consistent with applicable market rates for such Services; (B) the seller of such Divested Unit or the third party purchaser of such Divested Unit agreeing to pay, or cause to be paid, any incremental fees or expenses incurred by the Provider in connection with establishing or transitioning the provision of such Services to the third party; (C) obtaining any consents that are necessary to enable the Provider to provide the Services to the third party; provided, that GE and the Company shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents; (D) the third party purchaser of such Divested Unit agreeing to any reasonable security measures implemented by the Provider in providing the Services as deemed necessary by the Provider to protect its Information Systems; and (E) the third party purchaser of such Divested Unit agreeing in writing to be bound by all applicable provisions of this Agreement. Except as provided in
25
Article VII with respect to Provider Indemnified Parties and Recipient Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.11. Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by all the parties to such agreement. No waiver by any party of any provision hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party so waiving.

BUSINESS ASSOCIATE ADDENDUM
I. Purpose.
In order to disclose certain information to Provider under this Addendum, some of which may constitute Protected Health Information (“PHI”) (defined below), Recipient and Provider mutually agree to comply with the terms of this Addendum for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and its implementing privacy regulations at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160-164 (“HIPAA Privacy Rule”). These provisions shall apply to Provider to the extent that Provider is considered a “Business Associate” under the HIPAA Privacy Rule and all references in this section to Business Associates shall refer to Provider. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Agreement, in the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall prevail.
II. Permitted Uses and Disclosures.
A. Business Associate agrees to use or disclose Protected Health Information (“PHI”) that it creates for or receives from Recipient or its Subsidiaries only as follows. The capitalized term “Protected Health Information or PHI” has the meaning set forth in 45 Code of Federal Regulations Section 164.501, as amended from time to time. Generally, this term means individually identifiable health information including, without limitation, all information, data and materials, including without limitation, demographic, medical and financial information, that relates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual; the provision of health care to an individual; or the past present, or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual; and that identifies the individual or with respect to which there is a reasonable basis to believe the information can be used to identify the individual. This definition shall include any demographic information concerning members and participants in, and applicants for, Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ health benefit plans. All other terms used in this Addendum shall have the meanings set forth in the applicable definitions under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
B. Functions and Activities on Company’s Behalf. Business Associate is permitted to use and disclose PHI it creates for or receives from Recipient or its Subsidiaries only for the purposes described in this Addendum or the Agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Addendum, or as required by law, or following receipt of prior written approval from whichever of the Recipient or its Subsidiary for which the relevant PHI was created or from which the relevant PHI was received. In addition to these specific requirements below, Business Associate may use or disclose PHI only in a manner that would not violate the HIPAA Privacy Rule if done by the Recipient or its Subsidiaries.
C. Business Associate’s Operations. Business Associate is permitted by this Agreement to use PHI it creates for or receives from Recipient or its Subsidiaries: (i) if such
use is reasonably necessary for Business Associate’s proper management and administration; and (ii) as reasonably necessary to carry out Business Associate’s legal responsibilities. Business Associate is permitted to disclose PHI it creates for or receives from Recipient or its Subsidiaries for the purposes identified in this Section only if the following conditions are met:
(1) The disclosure is required by law; or
(2) The disclosure is reasonably necessary to Business Associate’s proper management and administration, and Business Associate obtains reasonable assurances in writing from any person or organization to which Business Associate will disclose such PHI that the person or organization will:
a. Hold such PHI as confidential and use or further disclose it only for the purpose for which Business Associate disclosed it to the person or organization or as required by law; and
b. Notify Business Associate (who will in turn promptly notify whichever of the Recipient or its Subsidiary for which the relevant PHI was created or from which the relevant PHI was received) of any instance of which the person or organization becomes aware in which the confidentiality of such PHI was breached.
D. Minimum Necessary Standard. In performing the functions and activities on Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ behalf pursuant to the Agreement, Business Associate agrees to use, disclose or request only the minimum necessary PHI to accomplish the purpose of the use, disclosure or request. Business Associate must have in place policies and procedures that limit the PHI disclosed to meet this minimum necessary standard.
E. Prohibition on Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Business Associate will neither use nor disclose PHI it creates or receives for or from Recipient, its Subsidiaries, or from another business associate of Recipient or its Subsidiaries, except as permitted or required by this Addendum or the Agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Addendum, or as required by law, or following receipt of prior written approval from whichever of the Recipient or its Subsidiary for which the relevant PHI was created or from which the relevant PHI was received.
F. De-identification of Information. Business Associate agrees neither to de-identify PHI it creates for or receives from Recipient or its Subsidiaries or from another business associate of Recipient or its Subsidiaries, nor use or disclose such de-identified PHI, unless such de-identification is expressly permitted under the terms and conditions of this Addendum or the Agreement and related to Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ activities for purposes of “treatment”, “payment” or “health care operations”, as those terms are defined under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. De-identification of PHI, other than as expressly permitted under the terms and conditions of the Addendum for Business Associate to perform services for Recipient or its Subsidiaries, is not a permitted use of PHI under this Addendum. Business Associate further agrees that it will not create a “Limited Data Set” as defined by the HIPAA Privacy Rule using PHI it creates or receives, or receives from another business
2
associate of Recipient or its Subsidiaries, nor use or disclose such Limited Data Set unless: (i) such creation, use or disclosure is expressly permitted under the terms and conditions of this Addendum or the Agreement that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Addendum; and such creation, use or disclosure is for services provided by Business Associate that relate to Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ activities for purposes of “treatment”, “payment” or “health care operations”, as those terms are defined under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
G. Information Safeguards. Business Associate will develop, document, implement, maintain and use appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of and to prevent non-permitted use or disclosure of PHI created for or received from Recipient or its Subsidiaries. These safeguards must be appropriate to the size and complexity of Business Associate’s operations and the nature and scope of its activities. Business Associate agrees that these safeguards will meet any applicable requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, including (as of the effective date or as of the compliance date, whichever is applicable) any requirements set forth in the final HIPAA security regulations. Business Associate agrees to mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that is known to Business Associate resulting from a use or disclosure of PHI by Business Associate in violation of the requirements of this Addendum.
III. Conducting Standard Transactions. In the course of performing services for Recipient or its Subsidiaries, to the extent that Business Associate will conduct Standard Transactions for or on behalf of Recipient or its Subsidiaries, Business Associate will comply, and will require any subcontractor or agent involved with the conduct of such Standard Transactions to comply, with each applicable requirement of 45 C.F.R. Part 162. “Standard Transaction(s)” shall mean a transaction that complies with the standards set forth at 45 C.F.R. parts 160 and 162. Further, Business Associate will not enter into, or permit its subcontractors or agents to enter into, any trading partner agreement in connection with the conduct of Standard Transactions for or on behalf of the Recipient or its Subsidiaries that:
a. Changes the definition, data condition, or use of a data element or segment in a Standard Transaction;
b. Adds any data element or segment to the maximum defined data set;
c. Uses any code or data element that is marked “not used” in the Standard Transaction’s implementation specification or is not in the Standard Transaction’s implementation specification; or
d. Changes the meaning or intent of the Standard Transaction’s implementation specification.
IV. Sub-Contractors, Agents or Other Representatives. Business Associate will require any of its subcontractors, agents or other representatives to which Business Associate is permitted by this Addendum or the Agreement (or is otherwise given Recipient’s or the relevant Subsidiary’s prior written approval) to disclose any of the PHI Business Associate creates or receives for or
3
from Recipient or its Subsidiaries, to provide reasonable assurances in writing that subcontractor or agent will comply with the same restrictions and conditions that apply to the Business Associate under the terms and conditions of this Addendum with respect to such PHI.
V. Protected Health Information Access, Amendment and Disclosure Accounting.
A. Access. Business Associate will promptly upon Recipient’s or its Subsidiary’s request make available to Recipient, its Subsidiary, or, at Recipient’s or such Subsidiary’s direction, to the individual (or the individual’s personal representative) for inspection and obtaining copies any PHI about the individual which Business Associate created for or received from Recipient or its Subsidiary and that is in Business Associate’s custody or control, so that Recipient or its Subsidiary may meet its access obligations under 45 Code of Federal Regulations § 164.524.
B. Amendment. Upon Recipient’s or its Subsidiary’s request Business Associate will promptly amend or permit Recipient or its Subsidiary access to amend any portion of the PHI which Business Associate created for or received from Recipient or its Subsidiary, and incorporate any amendments to such PHI, so that Recipient or its Subsidiary may meet its amendment obligations under 45 Code of Federal Regulations § 164.526.
C. Disclosure Accounting. So that Recipient or its Subsidiaries may meet their disclosure accounting obligations under 45 Code of Federal Regulations § 164.528:
1. Disclosure Tracking. Business Associate will record for each disclosure, not excepted from disclosure accounting under Section V.C.2 below, that Business Associate makes to Recipient or its Subsidiaries of PHI that Business Associate creates for or receives from Recipient or its Subsidiaries, (i) the disclosure date, (ii) the name and member or other policy identification number of the person about whom the disclosure is made, (iii) the name and (if known) address of the person or entity to whom Business Associate made the disclosure, (iv) a brief description of the PHI disclosed, and (v) a brief statement of the purpose of the disclosure (items i-v, collectively, the “disclosure information”). For repetitive disclosures Business Associate makes to the same person or entity (including Recipient or its Subsidiaries) for a single purpose, Business Associate may provide a) the disclosure information for the first of these repetitive disclosures, (b) the frequency, periodicity or number of these repetitive disclosures and (c) the date of the last of these repetitive disclosures. Business Associate will make this disclosure information available to Recipient or its Subsidiaries promptly upon Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ request.
2. Exceptions from Disclosure Tracking. Business Associate need not record disclosure information or otherwise account for disclosures of PHI that this Addendum or Recipient or the relevant Subsidiary in writing permits or requires (i) for the purpose of Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ treatment activities, payment activities, or health care operations, (ii) to the individual who is the subject of the PHI disclosed or to that individual’s personal representative; (iii) to persons involved in that individual’s health care or payment for health care; (iv) for notification for disaster relief purposes, (v) for national security or intelligence purposes, (vi) to law enforcement officials or correctional
4
institutions regarding inmates; or (vii) pursuant to an authorization; (viii) for disclosures of certain PHI made as part of a Limited Data Set; (ix) for certain incidental disclosures that may occur where reasonable safeguards have been implemented; and (x) for disclosures prior to April 14, 2003.
3. Disclosure Tracking Time Periods. Business Associate must have available for Recipient and its Subsidiaries the disclosure information required by this section for the 6 years preceding Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ request for the disclosure information (except Business Associate need have no disclosure information for disclosures occurring before April 14, 2003).
VI. Additional Business Associate Provisions.
A. Reporting of Breach of Privacy Obligations. Business Associate will provide written notice to whichever of the Recipient or its Subsidiary for which the relevant PHI was created or from which the relevant PHI was received of any use or disclosure of PHI that is neither permitted by this Addendum nor given prior written approval by Recipient or the relevant Subsidiary promptly after Business Associate learns of such non-permitted use or disclosure. Business Associate’s report will at least:
(i) Identify the nature of the non-permitted use or disclosure;
(ii) Identify the PHI used or disclosed;
(iii) Identify who made the non-permitted use or received the non-permitted disclosure;
(iv) Identify what corrective action Business Associate took or will take to prevent further non-permitted uses or disclosures;
(v) Identify what Business Associate did or will do to mitigate any deleterious effect of the non-permitted use or disclosure; and
(vi) Provide such other information, including a written report, as Recipient or the relevant Subsidiary may reasonably request.
B. Amendment. Upon the effective date of any final regulation or amendment to final regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with respect to PHI, including, but not limited to the HIPAA privacy and security regulations, this Addendum and the Agreement will automatically be amended so that the obligations they impose on Business Associate remain in compliance with these regulations.
In addition, to the extent that new state or federal law requires changes to Business Associate’s obligations under this Addendum, this Addendum shall automatically be amended to include such additional obligations, upon notice by Recipient or its Subsidiaries to Business Associate of such obligations. Business Associate’s continued performance of services under the Agreement shall be deemed acceptance of these additional obligations.
5
C. Audit and Review of Policies and Procedures. Business Associate agrees to provide, upon Recipient request, access to and copies of any policies and procedures developed or utilized by Business Associate regarding the protection of PHI. Business Associate agrees to provide, upon Recipient’s request, access to Business Associate’s internal practices, books, and records, as they relate to Business Associate’s services, duties and obligations set forth in this Addendum and the Agreement(s) under which Business Associate provides services and / or products to or on behalf of Recipient or its Subsidiaries, for purposes of Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ review of such internal practices, books, and records.
