Sera acknowledges that LabCorp is not responsible for ensuring that the collection, preservation, shipping and handling specifications established in the Intercompany SOPs are sufficient to ensure the viability of Samples for performance of the Test. Each Intercompany SOP may only be amended by the Parties in writing. Neither Party shall change nor deviate from an Intercompany SOP without the other Party’s prior written approval of the proposed change or deviation. Sera shall maintain written documentation of its own technical standard operating procedures for its performance of the Tests (“Sera SOPs”), which shall constitute Sera’s Confidential Information.
