course of their performance under this Agreement, they may be furnished with,
receive, or otherwise have access to the Confidential Information of or
concerning each other. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Party disclosing
Confidential Information shall be referred to as the "Disclosing Party" and the
Party receiving Confidential Information shall be referred to as the "Receiving
Party." When used in this Section 9, "Parties" shall include bConnected.
9.2 All Confidential Information shall remain the property of and be deemed
proprietary to the Disclosing Party. A Receiving Party agrees: (i) to receive
such Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to any
third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; (ii) to
accord such Confidential Information at least the same level of protection
against unauthorized use or disclosure that the Receiving Party customarily
accords to its own confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of a
like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable level of protection; (iii)
to use such Confidential Information solely and exclusively for the purposes of
and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; (iv) not disclose any
Confidential Information to any third party; and (v) upon the request of the
Disclosing Party, and as a prerequisite to the release of Confidential
Information, have any recipient of Confidential Information execute a
non-disclosure agreement in a form acceptable to the Disclosing Party. A
Receiving Party may only disclose Confidential Information to its employees or
agents (including third parties retained by the Receiving Party to assist in the
Receiving Parties performance of this Agreement) (a) who are required to know
such information in connection with the permitted use of such information
hereunder, and (b) who are bound by customary and appropriate non-use and
confidentiality obligations. A Receiving Party agrees not to reverse assemble or
reverse engineer any software provided by the Disclosing Party in order to
acquire knowledge about the logic, structure or sequence of the software or
decode the software, bypass or defeat protection methods provided for preventing
unauthorized access to the software or to derive any source code or algorithms
therefrom. In the event any court or other authority orders a Receiving Party to
disclose any Confidential Information, such Receiving Party shall use its best
efforts to protect its confidentiality and shall forthwith notify the Disclosing
Party thereof to enable it to seek to do so.
14
9.3 A Receiving Party shall not be liable for disclosure or use of any
particular Confidential Information, other than information regarding the
identities of customers introduced to Trac Medical by Homecare Association,

of the Receiving Party or thereafter enters the public domain through no fault
of the Receiving Party; (ii) is or becomes known to the Receiving Party on a
non-confidential basis without breach of any obligation of confidentiality; or
(iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to
Confidential Information.
9.4 At any time upon the Disclosing Party's request, the Receiving Party shall,
at the Disclosing Party's sole discretion, either destroy or return to the
Disclosing Party all Confidential Information it has received, except to the
extent necessary for the Receiving Party to continue to exercise its rights
hereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed as obligating the Disclosing Party
to disclose its Confidential Information to the Receiving Party, or as granting
to or conferring upon a Receiving Party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or
license to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
9.5 The Receiving Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any
breach of this Section 9 by the Receiving Party, including, without limitation,
the actual or threatened disclosure or unauthorized use of the Disclosing
Party's Confidential Information without the prior express written consent of
the Disclosing Party, the Disclosing Party may suffer an irreparable injury,
such that no remedy at law will afford it adequate protection against, or
appropriate compensation for, such injury. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party
shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever
remedies it might have at law. Receiving Party expressly waives the defense that
a remedy in damages will be adequate and any requirement in an action for
specific performance or injunction for the posting of a bond by the Disclosing
Party.

Preferred Beneficiary. DSI's acceptance of the deposit occurs upon the signing
of Exhibit A by DSI. Delivery of the signed Exhibit A to Preferred Beneficiary
is Preferred Beneficiary's notice that the Deposit Materials have been received
and accepted by DSI.
1.5 Depositor's Representations. Depositor represents as follows:
a With respect to all of the Deposit Materials, Depositor has
the full right and authority to grant to DSI and Preferred
Beneficiary the rights as provided in this Agreement;
b The Deposit Materials consist of the Source Code for the
EXAMPLE ONLY Software (as such terms are defined in the
License Agreement); and
c If any portion of the Deposit Materials is encrypted, the
decryption tools and decryption keys have also been deposited.
1.6 Verification. Preferred Beneficiary shall have the right, at Preferred
Beneficiary's expense, to cause a verification of any Deposit Materials to be
conducted by DSI, or at DSI's election conducted by an independent person or
company selected and supervised by DSI. Preferred Beneficiary shall notify
Depositor and DSI of Preferred Beneficiary's request for verification. Depositor
shall have the right to be present at the verification. A verification
determines, in different levels of detail, the accuracy, completeness,
sufficiency and quality of the Deposit Materials. Whether the verification is
elected before or after the Deposit Materials have been delivered to DSI, only
DSI, or at DSI's election, an independent person or company selected and
supervised by DSI, may perform the verification.
1.7 Deposit Updates. Depositor shall update the Deposit Materials within 15 days
of each delivery of a Minor Upgrade (as such term is defined under the License
Agreement) to Preferred Beneficiary under Section 5.3 of the License Agreement
(collectively, "Updates"). Such Updates will be added to the existing deposit.
All deposit Updates shall be listed on a new Exhibit A and Depositor shall sign
the new Exhibit A. Each Exhibit A will be held and maintained separately within
the escrow account. An independent record will be created which will document
the activity for each Exhibit A. The processing of all deposit Updates shall be
in accordance with Sections 1.2 through 1.6 above. All references in this
Agreement to the Deposit Materials shall include the initial Deposit Materials
and any Updates.
1.8 Removal of Deposit Materials. The Deposit Materials may be removed and/or
exchanged only on written instructions signed by Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2 -- CONFIDENTIALITY AND RECORD KEEPING
2.1 Confidentiality. DSI shall maintain the Deposit Materials in a secure,
environmentally safe, locked facility which is accessible only to authorized
representatives of DSI. DSI shall have the obligation to reasonably protect the
confidentiality of the Deposit Materials. Except as provided in this Agreement,
DSI shall not disclose, transfer, make available, or use the Deposit Materials.
DSI shall not disclose the content of this Agreement to any third party. If DSI
receives a subpoena or any other order from a court or other judicial tribunal
pertaining to the disclosure or release of the Deposit Materials, DSI will
immediately notify the parties to this Agreement unless prohibited by law. It
shall be the responsibility of Depositor and/or Preferred Beneficiary to
challenge any such order; provided, however, that DSI does not waive its rights
to present its position with respect to any such order. DSI will not be required
to disobey any order from a court or other judicial tribunal. (See Section 7.5
below for notices of requested orders.)
2.2 Status Reports. DSI will issue to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary a
report profiling the account history at least semi-annually. DSI may provide
copies of the account history pertaining to this Agreement to any party to this
Agreement, upon the request of any party to this Agreement.
2.3 Audit Rights. During the term of this Agreement, Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary shall each have the right to inspect the written records of DSI
pertaining to this Agreement. Any inspection shall be held during normal
business hours and following reasonable prior notice. Depositor shall be
entitled upon reasonable notice to DSI and during normal business hours to
inspect the facilities of DSI with respect to the physical status and condition
of the Deposit Materials.
ARTICLE 3 -- GRANT OF RIGHTS TO DSI
3.1 Title to Media. Depositor hereby transfers to DSI the title to the media
upon which the Deposit Materials are written or stored. However, this transfer
does not include the ownership of the proprietary technology and materials
contained on the media such as any copyright, trade secret, patent or other
intellectual property rights.
3.2 Right to Transfer Upon Release. Depositor hereby grants to DSI the right to
transfer the Deposit Materials solely to Preferred Beneficiary and solely upon
the release of the Deposit Materials for use by Preferred Beneficiary in
accordance with Section 4 below. Except upon such a release or as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, DSI shall not transfer the Deposit
Materials.
ARTICLE 4 -- RELEASE OF DEPOSIT
4.1 Release Conditions. As used in this Agreement, "Release Condition" shall
mean the following:
a. [ * * * *];
b. [ * * * * ] ; or
c. [ * * * * ]
4.2 Filing For Release. If Preferred Beneficiary believes in good faith that a
Release Condition has occurred, Preferred Beneficiary may provide to DSI written
notice of the occurrence of the Release Condition and a request for the release
of the Deposit Materials. Upon receipt of such notice, DSI shall provide a copy
of the notice to Depositor by commercial express mail.
4.3 Contrary Instructions. From the date DSI mails the notice requesting release
of the Deposit Materials, Depositor shall have fifteen (15) business days to
deliver to DSI contrary instructions ("Contrary Instructions"). Contrary
Instructions shall mean the written representation by Depositor that Depositor
believes, in good faith, that a Release Condition has not occurred or has been
cured. Upon receipt of Contrary Instructions, DSI shall send a copy to Preferred
Beneficiary by commercial express mail.
Additionally, DSI shall notify both Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary that
there is a dispute to be resolved pursuant to Section 7.3 of this Agreement.
Subject to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, DSI will continue to store the Deposit
Materials without release pending (a) DSI's receipt of joint written
instructions from Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary; (b) resolution of the
dispute pursuant to Section 7.3; or (c) order of a court.
4.4 Release of Deposit. If DSI does not receive Contrary Instructions from the
Depositor, DSI is authorized to release the Deposit Materials to the Preferred
Beneficiary or, if more than one beneficiary is registered to the deposit, to
release a copy of the Deposit Materials to the Preferred Beneficiary. However,
DSI is entitled to receive any fees due DSI before making the release. Any
copying expense in excess of $300 will be chargeable to Preferred Beneficiary.
This Agreement will terminate upon the release of the Deposit Materials held by
DSI in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
[*Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with
the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the
omitted portions.]
4.5 Right to Use Following Release. Unless otherwise provided in the License
Agreement, upon release of the Deposit Materials in accordance with this Article
4, Preferred Beneficiary shall have the right to use the Deposit Materials
internally for the sole purpose of continuing the benefits afforded to Preferred
Beneficiary by the License Agreement. Preferred Beneficiary shall be obligated
to maintain the confidentiality of the released Deposit Materials. Preferred
Beneficiary acknowledges and agrees that the Deposit Materials furnished to
Preferred Beneficiary are for the sole and exclusive use of the Preferred
Beneficiary, and not for sale, sublicense, transfer or disclosure to third
parties. In the event that Preferred Beneficiary obtains the Deposit Materials
pursuant to the terms hereof, Preferred Beneficiary agrees that it will not (a)
publish, disclose or otherwise divulge the Deposit Materials to any person,
except officers or employees of Preferred Beneficiary who have entered into
commercially reasonable non-disclosure agreements and need access to the Deposit
Materials to perform their duties nor (b) permit its officers or employees to so
divulge any Deposit Materials, without the prior written consent of an officer
of Depositor. Preferred Beneficiary shall be liable to Depositor for all damages
resulting from any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Deposit Materials
following release thereof by DSI hereunder.
ARTICLE 5 -- TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement is for a period of one
year. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew from year-to-year
unless (a) Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary jointly instruct DSI in writing
that the Agreement is terminated; or (b) DSI instructs Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary in writing that the Agreement is terminated for nonpayment in
accordance with Section 5.2 or by resignation in accordance with Section 5.3. If
the Deposit Materials are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI, DSI
reserves the right, after the initial one year term, to adjust the anniversary
date of this Agreement to match the then prevailing anniversary date of such
other escrow arrangements.
5.2 Termination for Nonpayment. In the event of the nonpayment of fees owed to
DSI, DSI shall provide written notice of delinquency to all parties to this
Agreement. Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to make the payment
to DSI to cure the default. If the past due payment is not received in full by
DSI within one month of the date of such notice, then DSI shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement at any time thereafter by sending written notice of
termination to all parties. DSI shall have no obligation to release the Deposit
Materials under this Agreement so long as any payment due to DSI remains unpaid.
5.3 Termination by Resignation. DSI reserves the right to terminate this
Agreement, for any reason, by providing Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary with
60-days' written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement. Within the
60-day period, the Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary may provide DSI with
joint written instructions authorizing DSI to forward the Deposit Materials to
another escrow company and/or agent or other designated recipient. If DSI does
not receive said joint written instructions within 60 days of the date of DSI's
written termination notice, then DSI shall destroy, return or otherwise deliver
the Deposit Materials in accordance with Section 5.4.
5.4 Disposition of Deposit Materials Upon Termination. Subject to the foregoing
termination provisions, and upon termination of this Agreement, DSI shall
destroy, return, or otherwise deliver the Deposit Materials in accordance with
Depositor's instructions. If there are no instructions, DSI may, at its sole
discretion, destroy the Deposit Materials or return them to Depositor. DSI shall
have no obligation to destroy or return the Deposit Materials if the Deposit
Materials are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI or have been released
to the Preferred Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.4.
5.5 Survival of Terms Following Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement,
the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive:
a. The obligations of confidentiality with respect to the Deposit
Materials;
b. The rights and obligations set forth in the sections entitled
Right to Transfer Upon Release (Section 3.3) and Right to Use
Following Release (Section 4.5), if a Release Condition and
release of the Deposit Materials has occurred in accordance
with Section 4 above prior to termination;
c. The obligation to pay DSI any fees and expenses due;
d. The provisions of Article 7; and
e. Any provisions in this Agreement which specifically state they
survive the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 6 -- DSI'S FEES
6.1 Fee Schedule. DSI is entitled to be paid its standard fees and expenses
applicable to the services provided, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit C. DSI shall notify the party responsible for payment of DSI's fees at
least 60 days prior to any increase in fees. For any service not listed on DSI's
standard fee schedule, DSI will provide a quote prior to rendering the service,
if requested. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the escrow
including but not limited to DSI's compensation and expenses shall be borne by
Preferred Beneficiary.
6.2 Payment Terms. DSI shall not be required to perform any service unless the
payment for such service and any outstanding balances owed to DSI are paid in
full. Fees are due upon receipt of a signed contract or receipt of the Deposit
Materials whichever is earliest. If invoiced fees are not paid, DSI may
terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2.
ARTICLE 7 -- LIABILITY AND DISPUTES
7.1 Right to Rely on Instructions. DSI may act in reliance upon any instruction,
instrument, or signature reasonably believed by DSI to be genuine. DSI may
assume that any employee of a party to this Agreement who gives any written
notice, request, or instruction has the authority to do so. DSI will not be
required to inquire into the truth or evaluate the merit of any statement or
representation contained in any notice or document. Subject to Section 7.2, DSI
shall not be responsible for failure to act as a result of causes beyond the
reasonable control of DSI.
7.2 Indemnification. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary each agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless DSI from any and all claims, actions,
damages, reasonable arbitration fees and expenses, costs, reasonable attorney's
fees and other liabilities ("Liabilities") incurred by DSI relating in any way
to this escrow arrangement except to the extent such Liabilities were caused by
the negligence or willful misconduct of DSI.
7.3 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute relating to or arising from this Agreement
shall be resolved by arbitration under the Commercial Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Three arbitrators shall be selected. The Depositor and
Preferred Beneficiary shall each select one arbitrator and the two chosen
arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator, or failing agreement on the
selection of the third arbitrator, the American Arbitration Association shall
select the third arbitrator. However, if DSI is a party to the arbitration, DSI
shall select the third arbitrator. Unless otherwise agreed by Depositor and
Preferred Beneficiary, arbitration will take place in Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.
Any court having jurisdiction over the matter may enter judgment on the award of
the arbitrator(s). Service of a petition to confirm the arbitration award may be
made by First Class mail or by commercial express mail, to the attorney for the
party or, if unrepresented, to the party at the last known business address.
7.4 Controlling Law. This Agreement is to be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its
conflict of law provisions.
7.5 Notice of Requested Order. If any party intends to obtain an order from the
arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction which may direct DSI to take,
or refrain from taking any action, that party shall:
a. Give DSI at least two business days' prior notice of the
hearing;
b. Include in any such order that, as a precondition to DSI's
obligation, DSI be paid in full for any past due fees and be
paid for the reasonable value of the services to be rendered
pursuant to such order; and
c. Ensure that DSI not be required to deliver the original (as
opposed to a copy) of the Deposit Materials if DSI may need to
retain the original in its possession to fulfill any of its
other duties.

embodies the entire understanding among the parties with respect to its subject
matter and supersedes all previous communications, representations or
understandings, either oral or written. DSI is not a party to the License
Agreement between Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary and has no knowledge of

WHEREAS, Supplier and Vendor are parties to a Master Service Agreement
(the "Agreement") pursuant to which Vendor provides certain services to

certain "Protected Health Information" defined below that is subject to
protection under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
("HIPAA"), Public Law 104-191; and
WHEREAS, Vendor, as a recipient of Protected Health Information from
Supplier, is a "Business Associate" as that term is defined in final HIPAA
regulations published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on
December 28, 2000, to implement certain provisions of XXXXX, 00 XXX parts 160
and 164 (herein "HIPAA Regulations"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the HIPAA Regulations, business associates of
entities such as Supplier, as a condition of doing business with Supplier, will
be required to agree in writing to certain mandatory provisions regarding, among
other things, the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this Addendum is to provide for the parties to
satisfy substantially all of the requirements of the applicable HIPAA
Regulations, including, but not limited to, 45 CFR ss. 164.504(e).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
The following terms shall have the following definitions for purposes
of this Addendum:
1.01 "Health Information" means any information, whether oral or recorded in
any form or medium that is created or received by Supplier or any of
its affiliates, or any information, whether oral or recorded in any
form or medium that is created or received by Vendor on behalf of
Supplier; and that relates to the past, present, or future physical or

care to an individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the
provision of health care to an individual.

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
39
(i) Which identifies the individual; or
(ii) With respect to which there is a reasonable basis to believe that
the information can be used to identify the individual.
1.03 "Protected Health Information" means Individually Identifiable Health
Information:
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this definition, that is:
(i) Transmitted by electronic media;
(ii) Maintained in any medium, including the Internet (wide-open),
Extranet (using Internet technology to link a business with information
only accessible to collaborating parties), leased lines, dial-up lines,

2. Vendor does hereby assure Supplier that Vendor will appropriately safeguard
the confidentiality and integrity of Protected Health Information made available
to Vendor by Supplier. In implementation of such assurance and without limiting
the obligations of Vendor otherwise set forth in this Addendum or imposed by
applicable law, Vendor hereby agrees to comply with the HIPAA Regulations
relating to Protected Health Information and with respect to any task or other
activity Vendor performs on behalf of Supplier, to the extent Supplier would be
required to comply with such requirements. The agreement of Vendor set forth
below, and the additional provisions relating to permitted and required uses and
disclosures thereof as are set forth in the Agreement, constitute a contract
between Supplier and Vendor establishing the permitted and required uses and
disclosures of such Protected Health Information by Vendor.
3. In amplification and not in limitation of the foregoing provisions of this
Addendum, Vendor agrees that Vendor will:
(A) Not use or further disclose such information other than as permitted
or required by the Agreement, this Addendum or as required by law;

information other than as provided for by the Agreement or this Addendum;

Supplier, available to the Secretary of the United States Health and
Human Services for purposes of determining Supplier's compliance with
applicable law (in all events, Vendor shall immediately notify Supplier
upon receipt by Vendor of any such request, and shall provide Supplier
with copies of any such materials);

Protected Health Information received from Supplier or any of its
affiliates, or created by Vendor on behalf of Supplier, that Vendor still
maintains in any form and retain no copies of such information;
(H) Incorporate any amendments or corrections to Protected Health
Information, when notified, pursuant to and in accordance with the HIPAA
Regulations;
(I) Have procedures in place for mitigating, to the maximum extent
practicable, any deleterious effect from the use or disclosure of
Protected Health Information in a manner contrary to the Agreement, this
Addendum, or applicable law; and
(J) Develop and implement a system of sanctions for any employee,
subcontractor or agent who violates the Agreement, this Addendum, or
applicable law.
(K) Upon notice by the Supplier to Vendor that it has received a request
for an accounting of disclosures of Protected Health Information
regarding an individual during the six (6) years prior to the date on
which the accounting was requested, Vendor will make available to the
Supplier such information as is in Vendor's possession and is required
for the Supplier to make the accounting required by 45 C.F.R. ss.
164.528. Vendor will provide the Supplier with the following information:
(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 such
disclosure which includes an explanation of the basis for such
disclosure. In the event the request for an accounting is delivered
directly to Vendor, Vendor will forward such request to the Supplier. It
shall be the Supplier's responsibility to prepare and deliver any such
accounting requested in accordance with the requirements of law.
4. Notwithstanding the HIPAA Regulations, the individuals whose Protected Health
Information is disclosed under this Section of this Agreement are NOT third
party beneficiaries of the provisions of this Addendum or the Agreement.
5. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement which limits the liability of
Vendor or requires Supplier to indemnify Vendor, Vendor agrees to indemnify and
hold Supplier harmless from and in respect of any and all loss or liability,
claim or expense, fine, sanction, or penalty, including reasonable attorney's
fees and costs, which Supplier may sustain or incur as a result of any act,
omission, or material breach of this Addendum by Vendor.
6. Vendor shall notify Supplier in writing within three (3) working days of the
occurrence of any of the following: (a) any disclosure of Protected Health
Information prohibited by this Addendum whether made directly by Vendor or
through an agent or subcontractor of Vendor; (b) any receipt by Vendor or its
agents or subcontractors of a complaint by an individual regarding the use of
his or her Protected Health Information; or (c) any other event which reasonably
might be anticipated to expose Supplier to a legal claim or adverse publicity
regarding the use or transmittal of Protected Health Information.
41
7. Without limiting the rights and remedies of Supplier elsewhere set forth in
this Addendum or available under applicable law, Supplier may terminate the
Agreement without penalty or recourse to Supplier if Supplier determines that
Vendor has violated a material term of the provisions of this Addendum.
8. Supplier hereby covenants that Supplier will comply at all times with the
applicable HIPAA Regulations in providing Vendor with any Protected Health
Information.
9. In the event that any final regulation or amendment to final regulations is
promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or other
government regulatory authority with respect to Protected Health Information,
the security of health-related information, electronic signatures, or
standardized electronic transactions, the parties will meet in good faith to
discuss amending this Addendum such that this Addendum remains in compliance
with such regulations.
