terms of this Agreement or by otherwise giving the other party no less than 30 days of written notice
prior to the last day of the then-current Term.
SECTION 3. WORK ORDERS
CREATION OF WORK ORDERS. The parties may, from time to time, work together to detail the specific
engagement scope, pricing, acceptance criteria, and terms of services to be performed and Deliverables
to be delivered by ImageTrend. ImageTrend will set forth these details as a Work Order. If the Work
Order is for the purchase of COTS Software, the Work Order shall also outline the quantity and SKU of
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 5 of 35
each product or service as applicable. Should a Work Order contain no term regarding a topic, the terms
of this Master Software and Services Agreement shall hold instead.
LIMITATIONS OF WORK ORDERS. Work Orders may include requirements on the Client. Such
requirements, when executed as part of a mutual agreed writing, form a material part of this Agreement
and of the Work Order where the requirement is presented. Additionally, either party may set forth
factual assumptions (“Assumption”) in each Work Order. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or
the Work Order, a Work Order will be rendered void to the extent that ImageTrend is obligated to
perform services which are impossible or impracticable. Further, a Work Order will be rendered voidable
to the extent that ImageTrend is obligated to perform services materially different than originally set out
in that Work Order due to an inaccurate Assumption. The parties will make commercially reasonable
efforts to negotiate an alternative or modified Work Order in light of the inaccurate Assumption.
MODIFICATION OF WORK ORDERS. Any modification to the scope or tasks identified within the Work
Order that change the work budget by an estimated 10 hours of work or more shall require a new
modified written Work Order or written Change Order. ImageTrend shall not work on the new tasks in
the modified Work Order until the Client has provided signed written acceptance of the new Work
Order. The parties may waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis in writing. Modifications
requiring less than an estimated 10 hours of work may be proposed and accepted verbally, with such
modifications requiring less than 10 hours of work billed on a Time and Materials basis.
FEE MODEL. The Work Order will contain fee and payment terms. The following fee models are
contemplated:
Model Name Definition
Fixed Fee ImageTrend shall perform the work outlined in the Work Order for a
fixed flat fee, plus Expenses. The Fixed Fee is exclusive of Expenses
unless the Work Order outlines the Expenses. The Fixed Fee model
may include milestone payments, with such milestone payments
outlined in the Work Order.
Time and Materials ImageTrend shall perform the work outlined in the Work Order on a
Time and Materials basis, at the rate(s) specified in the Work Order.
LEGAL EFFECT. Work Orders issued under this Master Services Agreement are incorporated by reference
into this Master Services Agreement which collectively is called “the Agreement.” Work Orders do not
override the terms of this Master Services Agreement unless specifically stated that they do so. Work
Orders may contain their own Fee/Payment Schedules and Payment Terms; those terms are binding
insofar as they concern the services or Deliverables contemplated by the Work Order. For Work Orders
without their own fee and payment terms, the payment terms in the Price Sheet and Work Order
Attachment below control.
CUSTOMIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. The parties may mutually agree to a Work Order also known
as a Statement of Work for the development of new or custom software, also known as “Modified Off
The Shelf” or MOTS. All normal requirements of the Work Order shall apply, but additionally the parties
must work together to mutually define a Statement of Work which outlines the tasks, and their
timelines, to be undertaken as part of the project. Any Customized Software or MOTS Software
developed under this Agreement will be Intellectual Property owned by ImageTrend. Should Client
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 6 of 35
desire ownership of any Intellectual Property developed by ImageTrend, this must be embodied by a
separate, mutually executed contract. For clarity, Client shall not and will not own any ImageTrend
Intellectual Property under any circumstance under this Agreement. Client may only receive a license
thereto as outlined in each Work Order.
SECTION 4. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES
COMMENCEMENT. ImageTrend shall begin services described in the Work Order subsequent mutual
signed execution the Work Order. No services shall begin before mutual signed and written final
acceptance of each Work Order.
USE OF KNOW HOW. ImageTrend shall use its know-how, Intellectual Property, talent, skills, and
employees to perform the services. Client shall conditionally receive a license to any and all pre-existing
ImageTrend Intellectual Property and Know-How used in the creation of Deliverables and delivery of
services as outlined below in §6 “Licensing and Intellectual Property” and the Software Licensing Terms
Attachment.
MATERIALS. Materials (including, but not limited to, third party software licenses, physical hardware,
test devices, or other items and any other Material) that will be used in the development of the
Software will be identified by ImageTrend to Client. ImageTrend shall acquire such Materials as the
parties mutually agree should be acquired, and it shall be the Client’s responsibility to pay for those
materials.
ACCEPTANCE OF SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES. ImageTrend shall deliver completed Deliverables and
services to Client for acceptance. Each Work Order must detail the acceptance criteria for each
Deliverable or service contained within that Work Order. If a Deliverable or services acceptance criteria
is measurable objectively, it shall be complete upon satisfaction of that objective measurement without
regard to either party’s satisfaction with the Deliverable. If 1) a Deliverable’s acceptance criteria is based
on Client’s satisfaction with the Deliverable, or 2) no acceptance criteria is detailed, then the following
default clause shall apply:
After delivery of the Deliverable or performance of the service, Client shall have no more than 15
days to: 1) accept the deliverable or service, or 2) reject the deliverable or service by providing a
written rejection that reasonably sets forth the reason for the rejection and the changes required
to gain Client’s acceptance, or 3) provide a written request for a 15 additional day extension to
review the Deliverable or service; ImageTrend shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such
15 day extension. If Client does not provide an acceptance within the above time frame inclusive
of extensions, the Deliverable or service will be deemed accepted. After delivery of the fourth
revision of the service or Deliverable, the service or Deliverable shall be deemed accepted by
Client.
SECTION 5. FEES, INVOICING, AND PAYMENT TERMS
PROMPT PAYMENT ACTS. IF CLIENT IS A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH
APPLIES: To the degree any term in this Section 5, or any payment related term in any Work Order,
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 7 of 35
conflicts with the governing prompt payment act or similar procurement act which unambiguously limits
client’s ability to agree or comply with any term in this section 5 or in any payment related term in any
work order (“The PPA”), the term in the PPA will instead control. For clarity, unless there is an
unambiguous conflict between the terms of this Section 5 or in any Work Order, the PPA shall not
control and this Agreement shall still control.
FEES. Client shall owe to ImageTrend such fees as set forth in each mutually executed Work Order.
SCHEDULING NON-LOCAL TRAVEL. For air travel Client may, and is strongly advised to, schedule travel
no less than 3 weeks in advance of the first on-site date by written request; ImageTrend reserves the
right to approve or deny travel requests on a per-request basis. Client may also request travel by writing
with 3 weeks or less advance notice; ImageTrend reserves the right to approve or deny such travel
requests, and to invoice costs to Client due to scheduling changes ImageTrend must make to
accommodate such a request if approved.
CANCELLATION, RESCHEDULE, OR DELAY. Client will provide to ImageTrend (10) ten business days prior
written notice of Client’s intent to delay, reschedule, or cancel (“Staffing Change”) any service in a Work
Order which requires an ImageTrend employee to perform work at a specific location or at a specific
time (e.g. face-to-face meetings, on-site visits, after hours on-call status). If Client fails to provide such
notice, Client shall reimburse ImageTrend for loss caused by the Staffing Change. ImageTrend shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any losses that would be incurred by a Staffing Change and
due to ImageTrend by Client.
INVOICING. Unless otherwise specified in a Work Order, invoices must be paid on Net 30 terms. Any
objection to an invoice must be made in writing. Client may request up to an additional 15 days to
review Deliverables associated with an invoice, approval to which ImageTrend shall not unreasonably
withhold. If Client does not object to an invoice, or request an extension to review Deliverables, within
15 days after receipt of the invoice then the invoice is deemed accepted and any right to object to the
invoice is waived. Payment shall be made by check or by ACH transfer to ImageTrend.
REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT. Should Client fail to pay per the terms of this Agreement and this
Section 5, ImageTrend may; 1) suspend services under all Work Orders until such payment is made in
full, and/or 2) charge a late fee at the lesser of 1.5% or the maximum allowed by law, and/or 3) invoice
Client for the costs of collection including reasonable attorney’s fees.
TRAVEL COSTS. Should Client desire ImageTrend to send personnel to a location of Client’s choosing in
the continental United States, Client may pay $1,800 per ImageTrend trainer per trip and a further
$1,750 per trainer per day spent at Client’s chosen location. Travel outside of the continental US will be
quoted by ImageTrend upon request. Travel may only be scheduled for a maximum of one business
week of Monday through Friday per trip; however, Client may book consecutive trips. Non-local travel
scheduling which runs from one business week into a subsequent business week(s) (e.g. start date on
Friday at 8:00am, end date Wednesday at 5:00pm, “Overlapped Weekend”) will result in ImageTrend
invoicing Client an additional trip for each Overlapped Weekend. ImageTrend staff will work 8 hours
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 8 of 35
each day, except on the first and last day of each trip ImageTrend may reserve up to 2 hours of the
Business Day for travel time.
TIME AND MATERIALS RATE. Unless otherwise specified in a Work Order, ImageTrend’s Time and
Materials rate is $225.00 per hour.
PRICE ESCALATION. With sixty (60) days prior to written notice to Client, ImageTrend reserves the right
to escalate the prices contained herein, and any recurring fee, by no more than 7% of the then current
price for each anniversary of the Effective Date beginning one year from the last signature. ImageTrend
further reserves the right to escalate travel prices once per year upon written notice to Client. Such
travel price increases will only affect future travel prices and will not change the price or amount due to
ImageTrend for previously rendered travel.

license is not apparent by the name of the SKU, then the license shall default to Software as a Service.
ImageTrend may discontinue or replace a license in this table by providing Client reasonable written
notice of the change. Replacing this table shall not have the effect of revoking previously agreed
licenses, rather, ImageTrend’s right to replace this table shall apply to only future Work Orders.

ANY SPECIAL PURPOSE.
SECTION 6. MAINTENANCE.
ImageTrend shall provide scheduled updates and new releases for the Software, as well as defect
correction as needed per the Service Level Agreement, attached for so long as Client has contracted for

27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 19 of 35
copy of Client’s data. ImageTrend will produce this data by first using relevant export functionality
provided by the application, e.g. for ImageTrend Elite the data would be produced as a NEMSIS Version
3 XML file(s), or by other native data export format should the application provide no export
functionality. ImageTrend may redact or remove ImageTrend trade secret and confidential information,
such as database schema design details, or data which is used solely in an operational or administrative

27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 24 of 35
4. Suspension of Service
ImageTrend reserves the right to suspend and limit network resources to customers failing to pay
the monthly fee in advance at its own discretion. In the event of service suspension, full service
delivery will be restored within 48 hours from the date and time that payment is received.
5. Availability
ImageTrend is fully committed to providing quality service to all customers. To support this
commitment, ImageTrend offers the following commitments related to application server
Availability:
Availability Objective: ImageTrend will provide 99.5% Availability (as defined below) for the
ImageTrend network services within ImageTrend’s Immediate Control. For purposes, hereof,
"Availability” or “Available” means the ImageTrend Services are available for access and use
through the Internet.
“Immediate Control” includes ImageTrend’s network services within the ImageTrend data center
which extends to, includes and terminates at the Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) circuit
termination point on the router in ImageTrend's data center (i.e., public Internet connectivity).
Specifically excluded from the definition of “Immediate Control” are the following:
a. Equipment, data, materials, software, hardware, services and/or facilities provided by or on
behalf of Client or a third-party entity (or any of their vendors or service providers) and Client’s
or a third party entity’s network services or end-user hardware.
b. Acts or omissions of Client, their employees, contractors, agents or representatives, third
party vendors or service providers or anyone gaining access to the ImageTrend Services at
the request of Client.
c. Issues arising from bugs, defects, or other problems in the software, firmware, or hardware
of third parties.
d. Delays or failures due to circumstances beyond ImageTrend’s reasonable control that could
not be avoided by its exercise of due care.
e. Any outage, network unavailability or downtime outside the ImageTrend data center.
Availability Calculation: Availability is based on a monthly calculation. The calculation will be
as follows: ((a – b) / a) x 100, where “a” is the total number of hours in a given calendar month,
excluding Scheduled Maintenance (as defined below), and “b” is the total number of hours that
service is not Available in a given month.
Offline Capability: The Software may have offline capability which provides redundancy when
network or server back-end capability is not available. Periods of time when the Software’s
primary functions continue to function offline shall be excluded from the unavailability calculation
“b” above.
Scheduled Maintenance: ImageTrend conducts scheduled maintenance, as necessary, every
last Wednesday of the month. ImageTrend will perform scheduled maintenance within that
maintenance window between the hours of 9:00 p.m. CST to 11:00 p.m. CST. ImageTrend may
change the regularly scheduled maintenance window from time to time at ImageTrend’s discretion
upon reasonable notice to Client.
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 25 of 35
Service Disruption: Upon customer’s written notice to ImageTrend, if Availability for the month
is below the guaranteed level, ImageTrend will issue a credit to customer in accordance with the
schedule below:
Availability: 99.0% - 99.5% = 5% of monthly hosting fee credited
95.0% - 98.99% = 10% of monthly hosting fee credited
90.0% - 94.99% = 15% of monthly hosting fee credited
89.99% or below = 2.5% for every 1% of lost Availability (in no event exceeding
50% of monthly hosting fees)
ImageTrend maintains precise and objective Availability metrics, which shall be determinative
when calculating any customer requested credit. ImageTrend maintained Availability metrics shall

BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT ATTACHMENT
This Business Associate Agreement (“Agreement”) dated 09/13/2023 (the “Effective Date”), is entered
into by and between Fountain Hills Fire Department located at 16426 E. Palisades, Fountain Hills, AZ
85268 (the “Covered Entity”) and ImageTrend, LLC, a Minnesota corporation (the “Business Associate”).
WHEREAS, Covered Entity (also referred to as “Client”) and Business Associate have entered into, or are
entering into, or may subsequently enter into, agreements or other documented arrangements
(collectively, the “Business Arrangements”) pursuant to which Business Associate may provide products
and/or services for Covered Entity that require Business Associate to access, create and use health
information that is protected by state and/or federal law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”)
promulgated the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (the “Privacy
Standards”), at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164, requiring certain individuals and entities subject to the
Privacy Standards (each a “Covered Entity”, or collectively, “Covered Entities”) to protect the privacy of
certain individually identifiable health information (“Protected Health Information”, or “PHI”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to HIPAA, HHS has issued the Security Standards (the “Security Standards”), at 45
C.F.R. Parts 160, 162 and 164, for the protection of electronic protected health information (“EPHI”);
and
WHEREAS, in order to protect the privacy and security of PHI, including EPHI, created or maintained by
or on behalf of the Covered Entity, the Privacy Standards and Security Standards require a Covered
Entity to enter into a “business associate agreement” with certain individuals and entities providing
services for or on behalf of the Covered Entity if such services require the use or disclosure of PHI or
EPHI; and
WHEREAS, on February 17, 2009, the federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health Act was signed into law (the “HITECH Act”), and the HITECH Act imposes certain privacy and
security obligations on Covered Entities in addition to the obligations created by the Privacy Standards
and Security Standards; and
WHEREAS, the HITECH Act revises many of the requirements of the Privacy Standards and Security
Standards concerning the confidentiality of PHI and EPHI, including extending certain HIPAA and HITECH
Act requirements directly to business associates; and
WHEREAS, Business Associate and Covered Entity desire to enter into this Business Associate
Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement and the
Business Arrangements, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which
are hereby severally acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Business Associate Obligations. Business Associate may receive from Covered Entity, or create
or receive on behalf of Covered Entity, health information that is protected under applicable
state and/or federal law, including without limitation, PHI and EPHI. All capitalized terms not
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 27 of 35
otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Privacy Standards,
Security Standards or the HITECH Act, as applicable (collectively referred to hereinafter as the
“Confidentiality Requirements”). All references to PHI herein shall be construed to include EPHI.
Business Associate agrees not to use or disclose (or permit the use or disclosure of) PHI in a
manner that would violate the Confidentiality Requirements if the PHI were used or disclosed by
Covered Entity in the same manner.
2. Use of PHI. Except as otherwise required by law, Business Associate shall use PHI in compliance
with 45 C.F.R. § 164.504(e). Furthermore, Business Associate shall use PHI (i) solely for Covered
Entity’s benefit and only for the purpose of performing services for Covered Entity as such
services are defined in Business Arrangements, and (ii) as necessary for the proper management
and administration of the Business Associate or to carry out its legal responsibilities, provided
that such uses are permitted under federal and state law. Covered Entity shall retain all rights in
the PHI not granted herein.
3. Disclosure of PHI. Subject to any limitations in this Agreement, Business Associate may disclose
PHI to any third party persons or entities as necessary to perform its obligations under the
Business Arrangement and as permitted or required by applicable federal or state law. Further,
Business Associate may disclose PHI for the proper management and administration of the
Business Associate, provided that (i) such disclosures are required by law, or (ii) Business
Associate: (a) obtains reasonable assurances from any third party to whom the information is
disclosed that it will be held confidential and further used and disclosed only as required by law
or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the third party; (b) requires the third party to
agree to immediately notify Business Associate of any instances of which it is aware that PHI is
being used or disclosed for a purpose that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement or for
a purpose not expressly permitted by the Confidentiality Requirements. Additionally, Business
Associate shall ensure that all disclosures of PHI by Business Associate and the third party
comply with the principle of “minimum necessary use and disclosure,” i.e., only the minimum
PHI that is necessary to accomplish the intended purpose may be disclosed; provided further,
Business Associate shall comply with Section 13405(b) of the HITECH Act, and any regulations or
guidance issued by HHS concerning such provision, regarding the minimum necessary standard
and the use and disclosure (if applicable) of Limited Data Sets. If Business Associate discloses
PHI received from Covered Entity, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of
Covered Entity, to agents, including a subcontractor (collectively, “Recipients”), Business
Associate shall require Recipients to agree in writing to the same restrictions and conditions that
apply to the Business Associate under this Agreement. Business Associate shall report to
Covered Entity any use or disclosure of PHI not permitted by this Agreement, of which it
becomes aware, such report to be made within three (3) business days of the Business Associate
becoming aware of such use or disclosure. In addition to Business Associate’s obligations under
Section 9, Business Associate agrees to mitigate, to the extent practical and unless otherwise
requested by Covered Entity in writing or as directed by or as a result of a request by Covered
Entity to disclose to Recipients, any harmful effect that is known to Business Associate and is the
result of a use or disclosure of PHI by Business Associate or Recipients in violation of this
Agreement.
4. Individual Rights Regarding Designated Record Sets. If Business Associate maintains a
Designated Record Set on behalf of Covered Entity, Business Associate shall (i) provide access to,
and permit inspection and copying of, PHI by Covered Entity or, as directed by Covered Entity,
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 28 of 35
an individual who is the subject of the PHI under conditions and limitations required under 45
CFR §164.524, as it may be amended from time to time, and (ii) amend PHI maintained by
Business Associate as requested by Covered Entity. Business Associate shall respond to any
request from Covered Entity for access by an individual within five (5) days of such request and
shall make any amendment requested by Covered Entity within ten (10) days of such request.
Any information requested under this Section 4 shall be provided in the form or format
requested, if it is readily producible in such form or format. Business Associate may charge a
reasonable fee based upon the Business Associate’s labor costs in responding to a request for
electronic information (or a cost-based fee for the production of non-electronic media copies).
Covered Entity shall determine whether a denial is appropriate or an exception applies. Business
Associate shall notify Covered Entity within five (5) days of receipt of any request for access or
amendment by an individual. Covered Entity shall determine whether to grant or deny any
access or amendment requested by the individual. Business Associate shall have a process in
place for requests for amendments and for appending such requests to the Designated Record
Set, as requested by Covered Entity.
5. Accounting of Disclosures. Business Associate shall make available to Covered Entity in
response to a request from an individual, information required for an accounting of disclosures
of PHI with respect to the individual in accordance with 45 CFR §164.528, as amended by
Section 13405(c) of the HITECH Act and any related regulations or guidance issued by HHS in
accordance with such provision. Business Associate shall provide to Covered Entity such
information necessary to provide an accounting within thirty (30) days of Covered Entity’s
request or such shorter time as may be required by state or federal law. Such accounting must
be provided without cost to the individual or to Covered Entity if it is the first accounting
requested by an individual within any twelve (12) month period. For subsequent accountings
within a twelve (12) month period, Business Associate may charge a reasonable fee based upon
the Business Associate’s labor costs in responding to a request for electronic information (or a
cost-based fee for the production of non-electronic media copies) so long as Business Associate
informs the Covered Entity and the Covered Entity informs the individual in advance of the fee,
and the individual is afforded an opportunity to withdraw or modify the request. Such
accounting obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall continue as long as
Business Associate maintains PHI.
6. Withdrawal of Authorization. If the use or disclosure of PHI in this Agreement is based upon an
individual’s specific authorization for the use of his or her PHI, and (i) the individual revokes such
authorization in writing, (ii) the effective date of such authorization has expired, or (iii) the
consent or authorization is found to be defective in any manner that renders it invalid, Business
Associate agrees, if it has notice of such revocation or invalidity, to cease the use and disclosure
of any such individual’s PHI except to the extent it has relied on such use or disclosure, or where
an exception under the Confidentiality Requirements expressly applies.
7. Records and Audit. Business Associate shall make available to the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services or its agents, its internal practices, books, and records relating to the use
and disclosure of PHI received from, created, or received by Business Associate on behalf of
Covered Entity for the purpose of determining Covered Entity’s compliance with the
Confidentiality Requirements or any other health oversight agency, in a time and manner
designated by the Secretary. Except to the extent prohibited by law, Business Associate agrees
to notify Covered Entity immediately upon receipt by Business Associate of any and all requests
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 29 of 35
by or on behalf of any and all federal, state and local government authorities served upon
Business Associate for PHI.
8. Implementation of Security Standards; Notice of Security Incidents. Business Associate will use
appropriate safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of PHI other than as expressly permitted
under this Agreement. Business Associate will implement administrative, physical and technical
safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of the PHI that it creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of Covered
Entity. Business Associate acknowledges that the HITECH Act requires Business Associate to
comply with 45 C.F.R. §§ 164.308, 164.310, 164.312, 164.314, and 164.316 as if Business
Associate were a Covered Entity, and Business Associate agrees to comply with these provisions
of the Security Standards and all additional security provisions of the HITECH Act. Furthermore,
to the extent feasible, Business Associate will use commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that the technology safeguards used by Business Associate to secure PHI will render such
PHI unusable, unreadable and indecipherable to individuals unauthorized to acquire or
otherwise have access to such PHI in accordance with HHS Guidance published at 74 Federal
Register 19006 (April 17, 2009), or such later regulations or guidance promulgated by HHS or
issued by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (“NIST”) concerning the
protection of identifiable data such as PHI. Business Associate acknowledges and agrees that the
HIPAA Omnibus Rule finalized January 25, 2013 at 78 Fed. Reg. 5566 requires Business Associate
to comply with new and modified obligations imposed by that rule under 45 C.F.R. §164.306, 45
C.F.R. § 164.308, 45 C.F.R. § 163.310, 45 C.F.R. § 164.312, 45 C.F.R. § 164.316, 45 C.F.R. §
164.502, 45 C.F.R. § 164.504. Lastly, Business Associate will promptly report to Covered Entity
any successful Security Incident of which it becomes aware. At the request of Covered Entity,
Business Associate shall identify: the date of the Security Incident, the scope of the Security
Incident, the Business Associate’s response to the Security Incident and the identification of the
party responsible for causing the Security Incident, if known. Business Associate and Covered
Entity shall take reasonable measures to ensure the availability of all affirmative defenses under
the HITECH Act, HIPAA, and other state and federal laws and regulations governing PHI and
EPHI.
9. Data Breach Notification and Mitigation.
A. HIPAA Data Breach Notification and Mitigation. Business Associate agrees to implement
reasonable systems for the discovery and prompt reporting of any “breach” of
“unsecured PHI” as those terms are defined by 45 C.F.R. §164.402 (hereinafter a “HIPAA
Breach”). The parties acknowledge and agree that 45 C.F.R. §164.404, as described
below in this Section 9.1, governs the determination of the date of a HIPAA Breach. In
the event of any conflict between this Section 9.1 and the Confidentiality Requirements,
the more stringent requirements shall govern. Business Associate will, following the
discovery of a HIPAA Breach, notify Covered Entity immediately and in no event later
than three (3) business days after Business Associate discovers such HIPAA Breach,
unless Business Associate is prevented from doing so by 45 C.F.R. §164.412 concerning
law enforcement investigations. For purposes of reporting a HIPAA Breach to Covered
Entity, the discovery of a HIPAA Breach shall occur as of the first day on which such
HIPAA Breach is known to the Business Associate or, by exercising reasonable diligence,
would have been known to the Business Associate. Business Associate will be
considered to have had knowledge of a HIPAA Breach if the HIPAA Breach is known, or
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 30 of 35
by exercising reasonable diligence would have been known, to any person (other than
the person committing the HIPAA Breach) who is an employee, officer or other agent of
the Business Associate. No later than seven (7) business days following a HIPAA Breach,
Business Associate shall provide Covered Entity with sufficient information to permit
Covered Entity to comply with the HIPAA Breach notification requirements set forth at
45 C.F.R. §164.400 et seq. Specifically, if the following information is known to (or can
be reasonably obtained by) the Business Associate, Business Associate will provide
Covered Entity with: (i) contact information for individuals who were or who may have
been impacted by the HIPAA Breach (e.g., first and last name, mailing address, street
address, phone number, email address); (ii) a brief description of the circumstances of
the HIPAA Breach, including the date of the HIPAA Breach and date of discovery; (iii) a
description of the types of unsecured PHI involved in the HIPAA Breach (e.g., names,
social security number, date of birth, address(es), account numbers of any type,
disability codes, diagnostic and/or billing codes and similar information); (iv) a brief
description of what the Business Associate has done or is doing to investigate the HIPAA
Breach, mitigate harm to the individual impacted by the HIPAA Breach, and protect
against future HIPAA Breaches; and (v) appoint a liaison and provide contact
information for same so that the Covered Entity may ask questions or learn additional
information concerning the HIPAA Breach. Following a HIPAA Breach, Business
Associate will have a continuing duty to inform Covered Entity of new information
learned by Business Associate regarding the HIPAA Breach, including but not limited to
the information described in items (i) through (v), above.
B. Data Breach Notification and Mitigation Under Other Laws. In addition to the
requirements of Section 9.1, Business Associate agrees to implement reasonable
systems for the discovery and prompt reporting of any breach of individually identifiable
information (including but not limited to PHI, and referred to hereinafter as “Individually
Identifiable Information”) that, if misused, disclosed, lost or stolen, Covered Entity
believes would trigger an obligation under one or more State data breach notification
laws (each a “State Breach”) to notify the individuals who are the subject of the
information. Business Associate agrees that in the event any Individually Identifiable
Information is lost, stolen, used or disclosed in violation of one or more State data
breach notification laws, Business Associate shall promptly: (i) cooperate and assist
Covered Entity with any investigation into any State Breach or alleged State Breach; (ii)
cooperate and assist Covered Entity with any investigation into any State Breach or
alleged State Breach conducted by any State Attorney General or State Consumer Affairs
Department (or their respective agents); (iii) comply with Covered Entity’s
determinations regarding Covered Entity’s and Business Associate’s obligations to
mitigate to the extent practicable any potential harm to the individuals impacted by the
State Breach; and (iv) assist with the implementation of any decision by Covered Entity
or any State agency, including any State Attorney General or State Consumer Affairs
Department (or their respective agents), to notify individuals impacted or potentially
impacted by a State Breach.
C. Breach Indemnification. Business Associate shall indemnify, defend and hold Covered
Entity and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless,
from and against all reasonable losses, claims, actions, demands, liabilities, damages,
costs and expenses (including costs of judgments, settlements, court costs and
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 31 of 35
reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) (collectively, “Information Disclosure
Claims”) arising from or related to: (i) the use or disclosure of Individually Identifiable
Information (including PHI) by Business Associate in violation of the terms of this
Agreement or applicable law, and (ii) whether in oral, paper or electronic media, any
HIPAA Breach of unsecured PHI and/or State Breach of Individually Identifiable
Information by Business Associate. If Business Associate assumes the defense of an
Information Disclosure Claim, Covered Entity shall have the right, at its expense and
without indemnification notwithstanding the previous sentence, to participate in the
defense of such Information Disclosure Claim. Business Associate shall not take any
final action with respect to any Information Disclosure Claim without the prior written
consent of Covered Entity. Covered Entity likewise shall not take any final action with
respect to any Information Disclosure Claim without the prior written consent of
Business Associate. To the extent permitted by law and except when caused by an act of
Covered Entity or resulting from a disclosure to a Recipient required or directed by
Covered Entity to receive the information, Business Associate shall be fully liable to
Covered Entity for any acts, failures or omissions of Recipients in furnishing the services
as if they were the Business Associate’s own acts, failures or omissions.
A. If Client is a Governmental Entity the following clause does not apply: Covered
Entity shall indemnify, defend and hold Business Associate and its officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless, from and against
all reasonable losses, claims, actions, demands, liabilities, damages, costs and
expenses (including costs of judgments, settlements, court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees actually incurred) (collectively, “Information Disclosure Claims”)
arising from or related to: (i) the use or disclosure of Individually Identifiable
Information (including PHI) by Covered Entity, its subcontractors, agents, or
employees in violation of the terms of this Agreement or applicable law, and (ii)
whether in oral, paper or electronic media, any HIPAA Breach of unsecured PHI
and/or State Breach of Individually Identifiable Information by Covered Entity,
its subcontractors, agents, or employees.
B. Covered Entity and Business Associate shall seek to keep costs or expenses that
the other may be liable for under this Section 9, including Information
Disclosure Claims, to the minimum reasonably required to comply with the
HITECH Act and HIPAA. Covered Entity and Business Associate shall timely raise
all applicable affirmative defenses in the event a violation of this Agreement, or
a use or disclosure of PHI or EPHI in violation of the terms of this Agreement or
applicable law occurs.
10. Term and Termination.
A. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until
terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 10, provided, however, that
termination shall not affect the respective obligations or rights of the parties arising
under this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination, all of which shall
continue in accordance with their terms.
B. Covered Entity shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason upon
thirty (30) days written notice to Business Associate.
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 32 of 35
C. Covered Entity, at its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement and
shall have no further obligations to Business Associate if any of the following events
shall have occurred and be continuing:
A. Business Associate fails to observe or perform any material covenant or
obligation contained in this Agreement for ten (10) days after written notice
thereof has been given to the Business Associate by Covered Entity; or
B. A violation by the Business Associate of any provision of the Confidentiality
Requirements or other applicable federal or state privacy law relating to the
obligations of the Business Associate under this Agreement.
D. Termination of this Agreement for either of the two reasons set forth in Section 10.c
above shall be cause for Covered Entity to immediately terminate for cause any Business
Arrangement pursuant to which Business Associate is entitled to receive PHI from
Covered Entity.
E. Upon the termination of all Business Arrangements, either Party may terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party.
F. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Business Associate agrees either to
return to Covered Entity or to destroy all PHI received from Covered Entity or otherwise
through the performance of services for Covered Entity, that is in the possession or
control of Business Associate or its agents. In the case of PHI which is not feasible to
“return or destroy,” Business Associate shall extend the protections of this Agreement
to such PHI and limit further uses and disclosures of such PHI to those purposes that
make the return or destruction infeasible, for so long as Business Associate maintains
such PHI. Business Associate further agrees to comply with other applicable state or
federal law, which may require a specific period of retention, redaction, or other
treatment of such PHI.
11. No Warranty. PHI IS PROVIDED TO BUSINESS ASSOCIATE SOLELY ON AN “AS IS” BASIS.
COVERED ENTITY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
12. Ineligible Persons. Business Associate represents and warrants to Covered Entity that Business
Associate (i) is not currently excluded, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in any
federal health care program as defined in 42 U.S.C. Section 1320a-7b(f) (“the Federal Healthcare
Programs”); (ii) has not been convicted of a criminal offense related to the provision of health
care items or services and not yet been excluded, debarred, or otherwise declared ineligible to
participate in the Federal Healthcare Programs, and (iii) is not under investigation or otherwise
aware of any circumstances which may result in Business Associate being excluded from
participation in the Federal Healthcare Programs. This shall be an ongoing representation and
warranty during the term of this Agreement, and Business Associate shall immediately notify
Covered Entity of any change in the status of the representations and warranty set forth in this
section. Any breach of this section shall give Covered Entity the right to terminate this
Agreement immediately for cause.

14. Waiver. No provision of this Agreement or any breach thereof shall be deemed waived unless
such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party claimed to have waived such provision or
breach. No waiver of a breach shall constitute a waiver of or excuse any different or subsequent
breach.
15. Assignment. Neither Party may assign (whether by operation or law or otherwise) any of its
rights or delegate or subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Covered Entity shall have the
right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any entity that is an affiliate or successor
of Covered Entity, without the prior approval of Business Associate.
16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is determined to be invalid or unenforceable
will be ineffective to the extent of such determination without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such remaining
provisions.
17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between Business
Associate and Covered Entity relating to the matters specified in this Agreement, and
supersedes all prior representations or agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to
such matters. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of
the Business Arrangements or any such later agreement(s), the terms of this Agreement shall
control unless the terms of such Business Arrangements are more strict with respect to PHI and
comply with the Confidentiality Requirements, or the parties specifically otherwise agree in
writing. No oral modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding on either Party; provided, however, that upon the enactment of any law, regulation,
court decision or relevant government publication and/or interpretive guidance or policy that
the Covered Entity believes in good faith will adversely impact the use or disclosure of PHI under
27 September 2023 www.imagetrend.com Page | 34 of 35
this Agreement, Covered Entity may amend the Agreement to comply with such law, regulation,
court decision or government publication, guidance or policy by delivering a written amendment
to Business Associate which shall be effective thirty (30) days after receipt. No obligation on
either Party to enter into any transaction is to be implied from the execution or delivery of this
Agreement. This Agreement is for the benefit of, and shall be binding upon the parties, their
affiliates and respective successors and assigns. No third party shall be considered a third-party
beneficiary under this Agreement, nor shall any third party have any rights as a result of this
Agreement.
18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the state in which Business Associate is located, excluding its conflicts of laws provisions.
Jurisdiction and venue for any dispute relating to this Agreement shall exclusively rest with the
state and federal courts in the county in which Business Associate is located.
19. Equitable Relief. The parties understand and acknowledge that any disclosure or
misappropriation of any PHI in violation of this Agreement will cause the other irreparable harm,
the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain, and therefore agrees that the injured party
shall have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or
an order restraining and enjoining any such further disclosure or breach and for such other relief
as the injured party shall deem appropriate. Such right is to be in addition to the remedies
otherwise available to the parties at law or in equity. Each party expressly waives the defense
that a remedy in damages will be adequate and further waives any requirement in an action for
specific performance or injunction for the posting of a bond.
20. Nature of Agreement; Independent Contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
to create (i) a partnership, joint venture or other joint business relationship between the parties
or any of their affiliates, or (ii) a relationship of employer and employee between the parties.
Business Associate is an independent contractor, and not an agent of Covered Entity. This
Agreement does not express or imply any commitment to purchase or sell goods or services.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
document. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account
for more than one such counterpart executed by the party against whom enforcement of this
Agreement is sought. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by
electronic mail in portable document format (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means
intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the
same force and effect as physical execution and delivery of the paper document bearing the
original signature.
