return to Client or destroy all of Client's Protected Health Information in whatever
form or medium, including all copies thereof and all data, compilations, and other

Client's Protected Health Information. Business Associate will require any
subcontractor or agent, to which Business Associate has disclosed Client's Protected
Health Information as permitted by Section C.1 of this Agreement, to, if feasible,
return to Business Associate (so that Business Associate may return it to Client) or
destroy all of Client's Protected Health Information in whatever form or medium
received from Business Associate, including all copies thereof and all data,
compilations, and other works derived therefrom that allow identification of any
individual who is a subject of Client's Protected Health Information, and certify on
oath to Business Associate that all such information has been returned or destroyed.
Business Associate will complete these obligations as promptly as possible, but not
later than 30 calendar days following the effective date of the termination or other

identify any of Client's Protected Health Information, including any that Business
Associate has disclosed to subcontractors or agents as permitted by Section C.1 of this

complete these obligations as promptly as possible, but not later than 30 calendar days
following the effective date of the termination or other conclusion of Agreement.
iii. Continuing Privacy and Security Obligation. Business Associate's obligation to
protect the privacy and safeguard the security of Client's Protected Health Information
Rev 8.2009 11
as specified in this Agreement will be continuous and survive termination or other

F. Miscellaneous
1. Amendment to Agreement. Upon the compliance date of any final regulation or
amendment to final regulation promulgated by DHHS that affects Business Associate's
use or disclosure of Client's Protected Health Information or Standard Transactions this
Agreement will automatically amend such that the obligations imposed on Business
Associate remain in compliance with the final regulation or amendment to final
regulation.
2. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be resolved to permit Client to
comply with HIPAA Rules.
15.4. Survival. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
16. Manufacturer Discount Program. Certain prescription drugs on Formulary are eligible for a
manufacturer's discount pursuant to applicable agreements between Serve You's formulary management
company and prescription drug manufacturers. Under such agreements, Manufacturer Discounts will be
calculated based on utilization of prescription drugs by Covered Members of Client. To be eligible for
Manufacturer Discounts, Client must be able to demonstrate funding of at least fifty percent (50%) of the
Charges associated with submitted Claims. To meet this burden, upon request, Client must provide
copayment/coinsurance information, claim evidence, or evidence of member reimbursement (if the Benefit
Program is so designed),as well as written verification that the fifty percent(50%)threshold is being met. Any
Claims for which Client funds less than fifty percent (50%) of the Charges of Covered Prescriptions will not
be entitled to Manufacturer Discounts. Specialty Drugs, Sole or Limited Distribution Drugs, drugs labeled
with a repackaged national drug code and over-the-counter products are excluded from calculations,
guarantees,credits and payments regarding Manufacturer Discounts set forth in this Agreement.
Manufacturer Discounts received by Serve You and attributable to Client's covered members' utilization shall
be paid to Client as set forth in Exhibit A.
Serve You will begin paying to Client the collected Manufacturer Discounts on a quarterly basis. The initial
payment of collected Manufacturer Discounts will begin no later than ninety (90) days after the end of the first
calendar quarter in which the Client has participated in the program and each calendar quarter thereafter. Any
changes to manufacturer discount arrangements will be effective on the first day of the next calendar quarter.
Furthermore, if Client does not give the required written notice to Serve You as required in the Self-Funded
Prescription Drug Program Agreement hereunder, Manufacturer Discounts owed Client under this Agreement,
if any, are forfeited.
Serve You represents that all Manufacturer Discount amounts referred to in this section are subject to change,
reduction or elimination due to, among other things, the terms of the contracts between Serve You's formulary
management company and pharmaceutical manufacturers or local, federal, state or other laws or regulations
affecting the distribution or the amount of Manufacturer Discounts available or payable under law, or the
actions of any manufacturer, outside of Serve You's formulary management company's control, that affect the
availability of Manufacturer Discounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any Manufacturer
Discount generated by such agreements with manufacturers is reduced or eliminated as a result of (i) a
particular item from Serve You's prescription drug Formulary not being included in the Client's Formulary,
(ii) conflicts between the Client's Formulary and the Serve You prescription drug Formulary, (iii) change(s) in
contractual requirements from manufacturers that result in Client being unable or unwilling to meet reasonable
drug Formulary compliance requirements, including, but not limited to, drug Formulary inclusion or
Formulary driven interventions, (iv) an unanticipated movement of a significant drug from a single source to a
multi-source status, (v) a modification to the benefit design or program specifications, or (vi) substantial
change in Client's drug utilization, then Manufacturer Discounts and all Administrative Fees and Charges
associated with Agreement shall be equitably adjusted in a manner mutually agreeable to both Serve You and
Rev 8.2009 12
Client. Serve You shall perform an annual review of Client's performance as it relates to Manufacturer
Discounts and may adjust the amounts paid to Client on Exhibit A accordingly.
17. Miscellaneous.
17.1. Relationship of the Parties. Each of the parties hereto is an independent contractor. This Agreement
does not create any employer/employee relationship, any partnership or any joint venture between Serve You
and Client or their respective directors, officers,employees or agents.
