During the one-year period after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, nothing in this section shall prohibit a Party or its Affiliates successors or assigns from (i) engaging in general solicitation efforts not targeted at the other Party or its Affiliates, such as, by way of example only, newspaper advertisements, Internet postings, or job fair events, or (ii) hiring any employee of the other Party or its Affiliates who responds to any such general solicitation efforts. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10(a) shall not apply to either Party at the later of (i) such date that Athena ultimately consummates the acquisition of the Purchased Assets as provided in Appendix E or (ii) such date that AHS Entities are no longer providing Termination Assistance Services under the Agreement or Transition Services under the TSA as contemplated by Appendix E .
i.      Without limiting Section 3(i) with respect to Exclusive Services, in the event that Athena or its Affiliates contracts with a third party vendor to perform Services that the AHS Operating

11




Companies performed or are performing (“ Alternative Vendor ”), Athena shall include a provision in its agreement with such Alternative Vendor prohibiting the Alternative Vendor from, directly or indirectly, soliciting, recruiting, retaining, or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, or otherwise) any individual employed by AHS Operating Companies or their Affiliates without the AHS Operating Companies’ prior written consent except in the following circumstances: (A) Athena has terminated the Agreement or an SOW as set forth in Section 2(c) or Section 2(d) ; provided, however, if Athena has terminated one or more SOWs and not the entire Agreement, such exception is limited to such individuals who performed Services under such terminated SOW(s); (B) with respect to Exclusive Services under each applicable SOW, in the event that (1) such Exclusive Services are terminated, or (2) the designation of such Services as Exclusive Services is removed, in each case, based on the applicable AHS Operating Companies failure to meet the Quality Standards and/or Service Levels as set forth in such SOW with respect to such Exclusive Services; provided, however, such exception is limited to such individuals who performed such Exclusive Services under such SOW; or (C) in the event Athena completes the acquisition of the Acquired Assets as defined and set forth in the Buyout Option, Appendix E .

A.      Nothing in Athena’s agreement with an Alternative Vendor shall prohibit such Alternative Vendor from (A) engaging in general solicitation efforts not targeted at the AHS Operating Companies or its Affiliates, such as, by way of example only, newspaper advertisements, Internet postings, or job fair events, or (B) hiring any employee of the AHS Operating Companies or their Affiliates who responds to any such general solicitation efforts.

c.      During the term of this Agreement, none of the individual founders of the AHS Entities will form another entity that is not performing Services for Athena and offers a Competitive Offering to other clients or offers products or services to any third party that offers a Competitive Offering. The foregoing will not preclude the founders from any investments in any entities where the founders do not have any involvement in the day-to-day operations of such entity. “ Competitive Offering ” means offering products and services that are similar in function to any offering of Athena to physician, payer or hospital practices ( e.g. , any medical billing, practice management, electronic health record, patient communication, medical referral, patient pre-registration, insurance pre-authorization, health care business informatics, population health management, or mobile medical informatics product or service).

During the term of this Agreement, Athena will provide the AHS Operating Companies with access to “Protected Health Information,” as that term is defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time (collectively, “ HIPAA ”). Each of the AHS Operating Companies is therefore acting as a “ Business Associate ” (as defined under HIPAA) of Athena in the course of performing the Services. Athena and the AHS Operating Companies therefore agree to be bound by the Business Associate Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Appendix C . If AHS USA is not considered an AHS Operating Company, the other AHS Operating Companies shall not provide AHS USA with access to any PHI at any time on or after the Effective Date; provided, however, if AHS USA should gain access to any PHI, AHS USA shall immediately and automatically become bound by the terms set forth in Appendix C .

12

i.      implement appropriate authentication and access controls to safeguard PHI consistent with the requirements of HIPAA;

c.      Use and Disclosure . From and after the Effective Date, the Recipient shall hold and maintain all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, without disclosure to any third party absent the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, and shall use such information solely for the purpose of performing the Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement. The Recipient shall use reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information, provided that such care shall be at least as great as the precautions taken by the Recipient to protect its own confidential information. Regardless of any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information (i) on a “need-to-know” basis to any of the Recipient’s (and in the case of AHS USA to the AHS Operating Companies and their) directors, officers, employees, and permitted contractors or subcontractors to the extent that the Recipient causes that individual to treat, hold, and maintain such Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and only use such Confidential Information for the purpose of performing the Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement and (ii) as required by law or any court or governmental order, if, to the extent legally permissible, the Recipient provides the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order with respect thereto.
d.      Return . Following termination of this Agreement and upon the Disclosing Party’s request, the Recipient will promptly deliver to the Disclosing Party all materials containing or consisting of Confidential Information in the Recipient’s actual or constructive possession or control.

Despite any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Recipient may retain for its records a single copy of any correspondence between the Recipient and the Disclosing Party that contains Confidential Information, which correspondence will be kept strictly confidential by the Recipient.

Accordingly, the Recipient agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available to the Disclosing Party in an action at law, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Recipient of the terms of this Section 12 , the Disclosing Party shall, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security, be entitled to injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, specific performance of the terms hereof.

AHS USA shall be relieved of any obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold the Athena Indemnitees harmless with respect to any such Claims to the extent they result from the acts or omissions of the Athena Indemnitees. “ Affiliates ” means, with respect to any legally recognizable entity, any other such entity directly or indirectly Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with such entity. “ Control ” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a legally recognizable entity, whether through the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares, by contract, or otherwise; but in any such case, such entity shall be deemed to be an Affiliate only so long as such Control exists.
ii.      IP Indemnification by AHS USA .

19




Product; or (B) replace or modify the affected portion of the AHS Entities’ Property or Work Product so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates the third party’s rights, provided that such replaced or modified AHS Entities’ Property or Work Product maintains the same functionality. If AHS USA reasonably determines that neither of these options is commercially reasonable, AHS USA may terminate this Agreement and Athena’s further use of any infringing portion of the AHS Entities’ Property or Work Product and Athena will have no further payment obligations hereunder except with respect to accrued Fees. The indemnity set forth in this Section 16(ii) will be Athena’s sole and exclusive remedy and the AHS Entities’ entire liability and obligation for any Claim of infringement or misappropriation in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement The provisions of the foregoing indemnity will not apply with respect to any instances of alleged infringement based upon or arising out of (X) the AHS Entities’ compliance with Athena’s designs or specifications in the development of Work Product or (Y) the use by Athena of the AHS Entities’ Property or Work Product: (I) in any manner for which the AHS Entities’ Property or Work Product was not designed; (II) that has been modified by Athena or any third party; (III) in connection with or in combination with any product, device, or software that has not been supplied or approved by the AHS Entities; (IV) other than in compliance with this Agreement; or (V) in a manner that is not reasonably foreseeable.

Athena shall be relieved of any obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold the AHS Entities Indemnitees harmless with respect to any such Claims to the extent they result from the acts or omissions of the AHS Entities Indemnitees.
iv.      IP Indemnification by Athena . Subject to the limitations imposed by Section 16(c) , Athena shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the AHS Entities Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims, to the extent a Claim is based on the AHS Entities Indemnitees permitted use of the Athena Property under this Agreement constituting an infringement of a patent issued as of the Effective Date, trademark, trade name, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property right, and Athena will pay those damages and costs finally awarded against the AHS Entities Indemnitees in any monetary settlement of such suit or action that are specifically attributable to such Claim. In the event that AHS Entities Indemnitees’ use of the same is enjoined as a result of such a Claim, Athena shall, at its sole option and expense, either: (A) procure for the AHS Entities Indemnitees the rights necessary to continue using the Athena Property; or (B) replace or modify the affected portion of the Athena Property so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates the third party’s rights, provided that such replaced or modified Athena Property maintains the same functionality. If Athena, in its reasonable discretion, determines that neither of these options is commercially reasonable, Athena may terminate this Agreement and the AHS Entities Indemnitees will have no further obligations hereunder. The indemnity set forth in this Section 16(iv) will be the AHS Entities Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy and Athena’s entire liability and obligation for any such Claim of infringement or misappropriation in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement The provisions of the foregoing indemnity will not apply with respect to any instances of alleged infringement based upon or arising out of the use of the Athena Property: (1) in any manner for which the Athena Property was not designed; (2) that has been modified by AHS Entities Indemnitees or any third party, unless approved in writing by Athena; (3) in connection with or in combination with any

20




product, device, or software that has not been supplied or approved by Athena; (4) other than in compliance with this Agreement; or (5) in a manner that is not reasonably foreseeable.
v.      Procedure . Each indemnitee shall promptly notify the Party from which it is seeking indemnification of any Claim that might give rise to that Party’s obligations under this Section 16 , and that party shall be relieved of such obligations as to that indemnitee if the indemnitee fails to provide such notice and that Party is materially harmed by such failure. The indemnifying Party shall have the right to immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its sole choice to handle and defend the same, at the its sole expense. Each indemnitee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial, and defense of each Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnitee may participate, at its own expense, in such investigation, trial, and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. No Party shall be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without that Party’s prior written authorization. No Party shall settle any Claim on behalf of any indemnitee without that indemnitee’s prior written consent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such cause will not include a Party’s lack of funds, lack of credit, or other financial inability to perform. If AHS USA or Athena intends to rely on any of the foregoing conditions to forgive its performance or lack of performance under this Agreement, it will timely so notify the other Party in order to permit the other Party in its sole but reasonable discretion to suspend or curtail its own performance under this Agreement for such time as the condition continues and, if such condition continues for seven business days or more, the Party not affected by the force majeure event may terminate the Agreement upon one hundred and eighty days’ notice to the other Party, provided that such Party provides such notice if at all within ten (10) business days or such other period as mutually agreed between the Parties following affected Party’s notification of reliance on this provision.

f.    report to Athena as soon as practicable and as required by HIPAA and the HITECH Act, as implemented by the HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule (“ HIPAA Final Rule ”) and any subsequent amendment thereto, or any subsequent rule or regulation interpreting or modifying HIPAA or the HITECH Act, any use or disclosure of PHI by Business Associate other than as provided for by this Agreement and any Security Incident (as defined in the Security Rule) with respect to electronic PHI;
g.    upon discovery of any Breach involving Unsecured PHI, notify Athena of that Breach without unreasonable delay; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section constitutes notice by Business Associate to Athena of the ongoing existence and occurrence of attempted but Unsuccessful Security Incidents (as defined below) for which notice to Athena by Business Associate shall be required only upon request. “ Unsuccessful Security Incidents ” shall include, but not be limited to, pings and other broadcast attacks on Business Associate’s firewall, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denials of service, and any combination of the above, so long as no such incident results in unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of PHI. Business Associate’s notification to Athena shall include (i) identification, to the extent possible, of each individual whose Unsecured PHI has been, or is reasonably believed by Business Associate to have been accessed, used, or disclosed through the Breach; (ii) any other information known to Business Associate that Athena is required to include in its notice to affected individuals; and (iii) any other information that would need to be included in Athena’s accounting of disclosures under HIPAA or the HITECH Act, as implemented by the HIPAA Final Rule and any subsequent amendment thereto or any subsequent rule or regulation interpreting or modifying HIPAA or the HITECH Act;

a.    Except as otherwise limited in this Agreement or by other applicable federal or state law, Business Associate may use PHI to perform functions, activities, or services for, or on behalf of, Athena, and for the proper management and administration of Business Associate, provided that such use would not violate the Privacy Rule if done by Athena. To the extent Business Associate is carrying out any of Athena’s obligations under the Privacy Rule pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or this Appendix, Business Associate shall comply with the requirements of the Privacy Rule that apply to Athena in the performance of such obligation(s).

Business Associate will immediately cease such use when the provision of its services to Athena is complete.
b.    Business Associate will not disclose PHI to any person or entity other than Athena or, to the extent required for the performance of Business Associate’s services to Athena, the individual to whom such PHI relates or the medical practice from which that PHI was obtained.

d.    With Athena’s prior written consent, Business Associate may use PHI to provide Data Aggregation services as permitted by 45 C.F.R. § 164.504(e)(2)(i)(B).
