5.5. Protected Health Information

5.5.1 Background. Daou recognizes that from time to time {Client Abbrv.} may legitimately disclose to Daou Protected Health Information (as that term is defined in §164.501 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, commonly referred to as the HIPAA Privacy Standard) for Daou’s authorized use in the performance of the Services. In such circumstances, Daou would meet the definition of a Business Associate (as that term is defined in §160.103 of 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information). Daou further understands {Client Abbrv.}’ obligation to protect the confidentiality of such Protected Health Information pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

Daou Systems, Inc. - Proprietary and Confidential Page 3

Daou Systems, Inc. Master Services Agreement

of 1996 (sections 1171 through 1179 of the Social Security Act), and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Department of Health and Human Services.

5.5.2 With respect to such Protected Health Information legitimately and properly disclosed to Daou by {Client Abbrv.} regarding Daou’s performance of the Services.

5.5.2.1. Permitted Uses and Disclosures. {Client Abbrv.} hereby authorizes Daou to use any Protected Health Information it discloses to Daou solely in a manner consistent with the Services Daou is performing for {Client Abbrv.} as provided for in the applicable SOW. For example, Daou may use Protected Health Information in the testing of the configuration of an application system that Daou is implementing on {Client Abbrv.}’s behalf; or, Daou may use Protected Health Information in the analysis of business/clinical processes it is performing on {Client Abbrv.}’s behalf. Additional restrictions, if any, regarding Daou’s authorized use of Protected Health Information may be provided for in the applicable SOW. Further, Daou will not use or further disclose such Protected Health Information other than as permitted by this Agreement or as required by law.

5.5.2.2. Appropriate Safeguards. Daou will use appropriate safeguards to reasonably prevent the improper use or disclosure of Protected Health Information disclosed to Daou by {Client Abbrv.}. Such safeguards shall be designed, implemented, operated, and managed by Daou following Daou’s best professional judgment regarding such safeguards. Upon {Client Abbrv.}’s reasonable request, Daou will review such safeguards with {Client Abbrv.}.

5.5.2.3. Improper Disclosure. If Daou becomes aware of any instance in which such Protected Health Information in Daou’s direct possession or control is used or disclosed other than as provided for in this Agreement, Daou will promptly report such use or disclosure to {Client Abbrv.}. Further, Daou will undertake commercially reasonable actions to mitigate any deleterious affects of such improper use or disclosure, and improve Daou’s safeguards to minimize the recurrence of such improper use or disclosure.

5.5.2.4. Subcontractors. Any subcontractors engaged by Daou to perform any of the Services under this Agreement and who would have authorized access to such Protected Health Information will be governed by the same restrictions and conditions of this Agreement regarding Protected Health Information in accordance with Section 5.5.

5.5.2.5. Access by Individuals to Protected Health Information. Daou acknowledges that in accordance with §164.524, §164.526, and §164.528 of 45 CFR Part 164 Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information individuals for whom Daou has direct possession of their Protected Health Information have the right to inspect and amend their Protected Health Information, and have the right for an accounting of uses and disclosures of such Protected Health Information except as otherwise provided in such subsections. Daou shall provide such right of inspection, amendment, and accounting of disclosures to such individuals upon reasonable notice by {Client Abbrv.}. {Client Abbrv.} acknowledges that in most circumstances Daou will not have direct possession of such Protected Health Information (i.e., {Client Abbrv.} will have direct possession and disclose such Protected Health Information to Daou for its use in the performance of the Services), in which case {Client Abbrv.} shall be responsible for such inspection, amendment, and accounting rights by individuals. Further, in most cases Daou’s use of such

Daou Systems, Inc. - Proprietary and Confidential Page 4

Daou Systems, Inc. Master Services Agreement

Protected Health Information will be for {Client Abbrv.} Operations (as that term is defined in §164.501 of 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information) and as such not subject to the accounting of disclosures requirement as referenced herein.

5.5.2.6. Access to Records. Upon request from the Department of Health and Human Services, Daou shall make available to the Department of Health and Human Services Daou’s internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information provided to Daou by {Client Abbrv.} or created by Daou or received by Daou on {Client Abbrv.}’s behalf.

5.5.2.7. Return of Protected Health Information. Upon request by {Client Abbrv.} or upon termination of this Agreement or upon termination of a SOW under which {Client Abbrv.} provided such Protected Health Information to Daou, Daou will, at {Client Abbrv.}’s option, either return, destroy, or de-identify all copies of such Protected Health Information in Daou’s possession.

6.1.2 {Client Abbrv.} represents that any and all Daou Intellectual Property disclosed or provided to {Client Abbrv.} by Daou pursuant to Daou’s performance of the Services hereunder shall not be used by {Client Abbrv.} in any manner inconsistent with the purpose for which such Daou Intellectual Property was so disclosed or provided to {Client Abbrv.}.

6.1.3 {Client Abbrv.} shall limit access to Daou Intellectual Property to its employees and such agents and consultants whose responsibilities to {Client Abbrv.} require such access in accordance with Section 5 Confidentiality and Non-disclosure herein. {Client Abbrv.} shall exercise commercially reasonable safeguards over Daou Intellectual Property and shall treat Daou Intellectual Property in a manner consistent with {Client Abbrv.}’ own most Confidential Information.

6.2. Daou represents to {Client Abbrv.} that Daou has the rights to any and all Daou Intellectual Property used by Daou in the performance of the Services and/or replicated in whole or part in the Deliverables.

7. {Client Abbrv.} Responsibilities.

7.1. {Client Abbrv.} understands and acknowledges that the obligations of Daou to perform in accordance with this Agreement are dependent upon, among other things, the accuracy of the assumptions and representations made by {Client Abbrv.}, the timeliness of {Client Abbrv.} management decisions, and the performance of {Client Abbrv.} personnel in meeting their obligations in accordance with the {Client Abbrv.} Responsibilities section of the applicable SOW.

7.2. As appropriate and reasonably necessary for Daou’s performance of the Services, {Client Abbrv.} shall supply, without charge to Daou, on-site Daou personnel with suitable office and storage space and use of other normal office equipment such as telephones and copiers, including supplies.

7.3. For Services in which Daou requires access to {Client Abbrv.}’s computer systems, including but not limited to operating systems, applications, servers, network and network equipment, circuits, physical access to data centers and wiring closets, or other information technology components (“IT Environment”), {Client Abbrv.} will provide Daou with proper access to its IT Environment, including the use of appropriately configured workstations and printers as necessary. {Client Abbrv.} shall be responsible for all costs and expenses for any associated third-party consents, approvals, and authorizations necessary to allow Daou to access, operate, and use {Client Abbrv.}’ IT Environment.

8. Independent Contractor.

8.1. Daou is an independent contractor as that term is commonly used and not an employee of {Client Abbrv.}. As such, Daou assumes complete responsibility for its own employees with regard to federal or state employer’s liability and withholding tax, worker’s compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, and other federal, state, and local laws.

8.2. Further, Daou is solely responsible for any and all taxes due for any and all compensation earned by Daou under this Agreement.

The parties agree that, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, during the term of each SOW and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, neither party shall directly or indirectly solicit, hire, or otherwise retain as an employee or independent contractor an employee of the other party who was involved in the performance of any SOW.

12. Force Majeure.
