1099 Treated like W-2

Currently I work at a small RIA. There are two of us, I am the junior and the owner is the senior. I am a 1099, use my own laptop, but he likes for me to be in the office in the afternoon (aka sets hours) and I have a very very small base pay.  

I am on my way out. I am looking to coast somewhere mindless until law school next fall. The other day he asked for a list of all my cold calls and potential clients from them. I don't feel comfortable handing them over.

So, do I have to give them over to him? My thoughts are
1. I'm technically an independent contractor. 

2. They are my contacts

3. I put in all the work 

What is the best thing to do?
