Termination and Return of Records. a. Upon termination of this Addendum, Agent shall, if feasible, return or destroy all PHI received from, or created or received by the Agent on behalf of, the Company that Agent still maintains in any form and retain no copies of such information. 1. Agent will require any subcontractor or agent, to which Agent has disclosed PHI, to, if feasible, return such PHI to Agent (so that Agent may return it to the Company) or destroy all PHI in whatever form or medium received from Agent, including all copies thereof and all data, compilations, and other works derived therefrom that allow identification of any individual who is a subject of the PHI, and certify to Agent that all such information has been returned or destroyed. 2. Agent will complete these obligations as promptly as possible, but not later than forty-five (45) business days following the effective date of the termination or other conclusion of this Addendum. b. If such return or destruction of PHI by Agent or their subcontractor or agent is not feasible, Agent and their subcontractors and agents shall limit their further use or disclosure of such information to the purposes that make return or destruction of the PHI infeasible. c. Agent’s obligation to protect the privacy and safeguard the security of PHI as specified in this Addendum will be continuous and survive termination or other conclusion of this Addendum or any other agreements, including statements of work, entered into between Agent and the Company. d. If the Company determines that Agent has violated the provisions of this Addendum, the Company may immediately terminate this Addendum and any other agreements, including statements of work, entered into between the parties that require Agent to access, use or disclose PHI.
