Exhibit A

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A have the meaning given to those terms in the Agreement. 

1. Laboratory Services

NVISN Labs, LLC will provide a genetic processing service for Client to include the following: Receipt of Client’s saliva samples from Testing Kits, extracting DNA samples, genetic analysis using NVISN Labs, LLC’s custom array, accessioning, data processing, and data storage. Client will use a custom array developed for NVISN Labs, LLC by Illumina.

Accordingly, NVISN Labs, LLC will provide Client with the following detailed services as part of the Laboratory Services:

1.  Accessioning

a. Client or End-User will send saliva samples to NVISN Labs, LLC. These samples will have been de-identified and assigned a unique contact barcode prior to shipment.

b. Samples received by NVISN Labs, LLC will be inspected and accessioned within one business day of receiving.

2.  Genetic Extraction & Analysis

a. DNA will be extracted from the saliva samples and quantified for double stranded DNA (dsDNA) and normalized to the array manufacturer’s (Illumina) recommended concentration before proceeding to the analysis.

b. DNA will then be analyzed using NVISN Labs, LLC’s custom array. 

c. Samples are processed and analyzed following both Illumina’s recommended protocols/procedures and in accordance with NVISN Labs, LLC’s optimized workflows and SOP’s.

d. NVISN Labs, LLC provides a control for each batch of samples as a quality assurance measure.

e. If the run fails for a sample or samples for any reason (“Failed Analysis”), NVISN Labs, LLC will deliver a notification of Failed Analysis via Email/API. NVISN Labs, LLC will automatically rerun the Failed Analysis sample(s) per Client’s request with the next processed batch. Failed Analysis will be investigated on a case by case basis. If the cause of failure cannot be determined to be attributed to NVISN Labs, LLC or Illumina’s actions, Client will bear the cost of the repeat Methylation/Sequencing.

i. Failed Analysis costs covered by NVISN Labs, LLC are defined as human error and equipment malfunctions not covered by Illumina’s service agreements.

ii. Failed Analysis costs covered by Illumina are defined as defects in reagents and arrays, equipment malfunction under service agreements maintained by Illumina.

iii. Failed Analysis costs covered by NVISN Labs, LLC are defined as samples that pass DNA Quality Control, that move into the analysis workflow, that fail Analysis metrics alongside an otherwise successful batch which cannot be contributed to NVISN Labs, LLC’s processing, Illumina’s reagents and arrays, or equipment malfunctions.

3.  Data Generation and Delivery

a. Client will receive the data via the NVISN Labs, LLC Platform for the purpose of report generation.

i. NVISN Labs, LLC does not guarantee that data from all desired markers will be reported for all samples. Performance of markers on arrays depend on the markers of interest and that is not NVISN Labs, LLC’s responsibility. If the sample passes Illumina QC standards, it is considered passed.

4.  Sample and Data Storage

a. The saliva collection device in the Testing Kits will be discarded after successful DNA extraction. Only the DNA sample itself will be stored.

b. The DNA sample and any residual sample will be stored until final data files are accepted/approved by Client or samples have been stored for 6 months (whichever happens last), at which point the sample collection device and any residual saliva sample will be discarded at the Lab. Client has up to 60 days from receipt of data to accept/reject, otherwise the sample will be automatically considered accepted.

c. Standard Platform Plans include importing and storage to the Platform of genetic data files up to 50MB in size (enough for approximately 1 million genetic variants). Importing and/or storage of data files exceeding 50MB such as whole genome data is not included by default and requires separate quote and/or charges.

d. DNA Storage

i. DNA samples will be stored 6 months after final genetic data files are accepted/approved by Client, at which point the DNA will be discarded. 

2. Turnaround Time

NVISN Labs, LLC shall process samples completely (from receipt of sample through the upload of final data files) within a period of 14 business days. Time is of the essence. 

3. Client Responsibilities

Client will be responsible for maintaining certain business practices, systems, applications, and providing NVISN Labs, LLC the following information:

1.  Sample Forecast

2.  Point of Contact

a. Client and NVISN Labs, LLC will each provide a designated point of contact as a liaison for all NVISN Labs, LLC-associated work before the start of work.

3.  Date Delivery System Maintenance

a. NVISN Labs, LLC will not be responsible for delays in reporting or data delivery due to malfunctions or errors of systems and applications maintained by Client.

b. Client will inform NVISN Labs, LLC via email or phone, of any and all issues occurring to systems and applications maintained by Client that may affect the exchange of information, reporting, or data delivery between Client and NVISN Labs, LLC.
