7.1

Ownership of Samples. Company represents and warrants that it owns or otherwise controls the sample(s) to be provided by Company to Subcontractor as described in the applicable Purchase Order (“Samples”) and that it has the right to provide the Samples to Subcontractor for the purpose described therein. Subcontractor shall use the Samples solely for the purpose of performing this Agreement. Unless instructed otherwise in writing by Company, Subcontractor agrees that it will promptly return any unused Samples or portions thereof following the delivery of the Results (defined below). As between Company and Subcontractor, Company shall at all times retain all right, title, and interest in the Samples provided hereunder.

Such improvements may result from, among other things, the analysis of the Results in the aggregate with other genomic information in Illumina’s possession and with similar information from other Illumina customers (e.g., comparing whole genome sequences in order to calculate allele frequencies, detect systematic errors, improving variant caller and aligners, etc.). “Illumina Technology” means the technology, tools, instruments, reagents, and software including, without limitation, the processes, workflows, recipes, methods, information, bioinformatics tools and techniques used to perform under this Agreement. This Agreement does not give Subcontractor any ownership interest in or to the Results.

7.3

Research Use Only. The services are provided for research use only and are not being performed in a clinical laboratory (e.g., the services are not being performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory). The services are not a test or kit designed to diagnose, treat, or prevent a disease or medical condition, and the Results are not intended to be medical advice.

Any failure to provide the Samples, information, and any other materials in accordance with the Purchase Order or this Agreement may result in delays in the project. See the Appendix B for additional information concerning Sample quality requirements.

7.5

Delivery of Results. Delivery of Results shall have occurred by one of the following means, to be determined by mutual agreement of the parties: (a) if Results are to be delivered electronically, once Subcontractor has transmitted an electronic file containing all or a portion of the Results to Subcontractor’s FTP web site or other site as mutually agreed and has notified Company that such file is available, or (b) if Results are to be delivered in one or more hard drive(s) or other physical material, upon shipment FOB origin of such hard drive(s) or material containing all or a portion of the Results.

This indemnification obligation shall not be limited in any way by required, actual, or available insurance coverage. The Company shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Subcontractor, and its agents, officers, directors, and employees from and against any and all claims, suits liability, losses, cost or expenses, including attorney’s fees arising out of a claim brought by a third party against Subcontractor and arising out of the (y) the negligence or willful misconduct of Company, its officers, agents or employees (z) Company’s material breach of this Agreement except to the extent such claims, liability, losses, cost or expenses arise out of (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of Subcontractor, its officers, agents or employees or (b) Subcontractor’s material breach of this Agreement.

Time of Essence: Company and Subcontractor recognize that time is of the essence with respect to the performance of this Agreement and there is potential that Company may be found in breach of the Client Contract in the event that the Subcontractor fails to complete the Services within the time specified in the Purchase Orders. Therefore, in the event Subcontractor fails to deliver the Results to Company within the timeframes specified in the Purchase Orders and such failure by Subcontractor directly results in the Company being late in making its deliveries to the Client as promised under the Client Contract and such failure by Company directly results in the Client either terminating the Client Contract or otherwise exercising Client’s rights under the Client Contract against Company with respect to any provision of the contract pertaining to on-time delivery in the Client Contract, Subcontractor agrees to be liable to the Company to the same extent that Company is liable to the Client. Accordingly, if Client is legally entitled to recover damages or reimbursements from Company pursuant to the terms of the Client Contract (“Late Delivery Damages”) then Subcontractor shall reimburse Company for 100% of any Late Delivery Damages that Company actually pays to Client.

8.6

Indemnification Conditions. Each party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement are subject to the indemnified party (i) notifying the indemnifying party promptly in writing of such action, (ii) giving the indemnifying party exclusive control and authority over the defense and settlement of such action, (iii) not admitting infringement of any intellectual property right without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent, (iv) not entering into any settlement or compromise of any such action without the indemnifying

Page 7

Termination for Convenience: All or part of this Agreement and/or any individual Purchase Orders may be terminated by Company for its convenience in the event the Client terminates the Client Contract (or the part of the Client Contract that affects the individual Purchase Order(s) that Company is terminating hereunder) for Client’s convenience. In the event the Company terminates the Agreement, or one or more Purchase Orders after Subcontractor has begun preparing a Sample for sequencing, the Company will be charged a cancellation fee equal to the costs reasonably incurred by Illumina up to that point and for which payment has not been received, including but not limited to Illumina’s then current list price of all materials used or produced, including, without limitation, flow cells and reagents. In no event shall Subcontractor’s cancellation fee exceed the amount it would have received for sequencing of each Sample terminated.

Page 10

14.2.2

Termination for Default:

(1)

Company shall make a commercially reasonable effort to keep Subcontractor informed of any complaints or concerns regarding the Services that Company is providing to the Client. Company shall make a commercially reasonable effort to provide Subcontractor notice of any Client complaints or concerns that could be related to the Services Subcontractor provides to Company. Further, the parties will work together in good-faith and jointly negotiate with the Client so as to avoid the Client finding Company in default under any terms and conditions of the Client Contract that may result from Subcontractor’s actual or alleged default under any terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(2)

Company and Subcontractor may, by written notice to the other, terminate the whole or any part of the Agreement for default in the event that the other party (i) materially fails to perform any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) materially fails to make progress so as to endanger performance of the Agreement in accordance with its terms, or, (iii) in the reasonable opinion of the party giving notice of default, becomes financially or legally incapable of completing the work and does not provide a plan of correction or recovery that is reasonably acceptable to the other party within a period of [***] after receipt of written notice from the party specifying such failure.

(3)

In the event of termination of the entire Agreement by Subcontractor for Company’s default pursuant to Section 14.2.2(2), Subcontractor will be entitled to a cancellation fee equal to the costs reasonably incurred by Illumina up to that point and for which payment has not been received, including but not limited to Illumina’s then current list price of all materials used or produced, including, without limitation, flow cells and reagents. In no event shall Subcontractor’s cancellation fee exceed the amount it would have received for sequencing of each Sample terminated, but not until completion of the project and the assessment of all costs associated with its completion.

(4)

Cost of Cover. In the event Company terminates for a default by Subcontractor under this Section 14.2.2, the Company may acquire similar services by subcontract in order to complete the work, complete the work itself, or otherwise complete the work in any other reasonable manner. Illumina will reimburse Company for the difference between the actual costs incurred by Company in completing the work that was not completed by Subcontractor, as a direct result of Subcontractor’s default, during the remainder of the term of the applicable Purchase Order(s) and the amount Subcontractor would have charged Company had it completed such work (the “Cost of Cover”). Company shall invoice Illumina for such Cost of Cover amount within [***] of the effective date of termination and Illumina shall pay such invoice within [***] of its receipt.

(5)

Client Damages. In the event Company terminates for a default by Subcontractor under this Section 14.2.2 and such default by Subcontractor directly results in the Company being in material default of the Client Contract and such material default by Company directly results in the Client either terminating the Client Contract or otherwise exercising Client’s rights under the Client Contract against Company with respect to such material default by Company, Subcontractor agrees to be liable to the Company to the same extent that Company is liable to the Client. Accordingly, if Client is legally entitled to recover damages or reimbursements from Company pursuant to the terms of the Client Contract for such material default (“Default Damages”) then Subcontractor shall reimburse Company for 100% of any Default Damages that Company actually pays to Client.

(6)

Exclusive and Non-Cumulative Remedies. Paragraphs (4) and (5) of this Section 14.2.2 are Company’s only remedies available in the event of termination of all or part of this Agreement due to Subcontractor’s default. Further, Company is only entitled to elect one of the remedies.

Page 11

For clarity, Company must choose the remedy available under paragraph (4) or paragraph (5), but not both paragraphs.

(7)

If, after notice of termination for default, it is determined for any reason that Subcontractor was not in default or that the default was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if the notice of termination had been issued pursuant to termination for convenience.

ARTICLE 15 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

APPENDIX A – CUSTOMER FLOWDOWN CLAUSES

All costs associated with the obligations set forth herein shall be the responsibility of the subcontractor unless expressly stated otherwise in an SOW.

SECTION I – CONTRACT SECURITY

This Section I (Contract Security) and its applicability shall be interpreted based upon the following:

The VA has clarified that: (i) a System of Records is not being designed, developed, or operated under the Contract, (ii) Subcontractor will not have logical (technical) or physical access to any VA Information System, (iii) Subcontractor is not designing, developing, or operating a VA Information System, and (iv) DNA samples proved by the VA under the Contract are not themselves considered by the VA to be VA Sensitive Information.

With respect to Section A.3(b) of this Section 1 (Contract Security), relating to co-mingling of data, (i) VA and Subcontractor are under the understanding that Subcontractor’s production and data management process does not represent co-mingling of data as defined by the section, and (ii) VA and Subcontractor have established that Subcontractor’s data segregation and separation practices are adequate since (a) the data for each DNA sample is located in a folder structure unique to that DNA sample, (b) no data from other DNA samples of other customers of Subcontractor reside in the same folder, and (c) the data for each DNA sample is 100% tracked by a dedicated database that associates each DNA sample with its project.

A. VA INFORMATION AND INFORMATION SYSTEM SECURITY/PRIVACY

1. GENERAL

Contractors, contractor personnel, subcontractors, and subcontractor personnel shall be subject to the same Federal laws, regulations, standards, and VA Directives and Handbooks as VA and VA personnel regarding information and information system security.

2. ACCESS TO VA INFORMATION AND VA INFORMATION SYSTEMS

a. A contractor/subcontractor shall request logical (technical) or physical access to VA information and VA information systems for their employees, subcontractors, and affiliates only to the extent necessary to perform the services specified in the contract, agreement, or task order.

b. All contractors, subcontractors, and third-party servicers and associates working with VA information are subject to the same investigative requirements as those of VA appointees or employees who have access to the same types of information. The level and process of background security investigations for contractors must be in accordance with VA Directive and Handbook 0710, Personnel Suitability and Security Program. The Office for Operations, Security, and Preparedness is responsible for these policies and procedures.

c. Contract personnel who require access to national security programs must have a valid security clearance. National Industrial Security Program (NISP) was established by Executive Order 12829 to ensure that cleared U.S. defense industry contract personnel safeguard the classified information in their possession while performing work on contracts, programs, bids, or research and development efforts. The Department of Veterans Affairs does not have a Memorandum of Agreement with Defense Security Service (DSS). Verification of a Security Clearance must be processed through the Special Security Officer located in the Planning and National Security Service within the Office of Operations, Security, and Preparedness.

Page 2 of 14

d. Custom software development and outsourced operations must be located in the U.S. to the maximum extent practical. If such services are proposed to be performed abroad and are not disallowed by other VA policy or mandates, the contractor/subcontractor must state where all non-U.S. services are provided and detail a security plan, deemed to be acceptable by VA, specifically to address mitigation of the resulting problems of communication, control, data protection, and so forth. Location within the U.S. may be an evaluation factor.

e. The contractor or subcontractor must notify the Contracting Officer immediately when an employee working on a VA system or with access to VA information is reassigned or leaves the contractor or subcontractor’s employ. The Contracting Officer must also be notified immediately by the contractor or subcontractor prior to an unfriendly termination.

3. VA INFORMATION CUSTODIAL LANGUAGE

a. Information made available to the contractor or subcontractor by VA for the performance or administration of this contract or information developed by the contractor/subcontractor in performance or administration of the contract shall be used only for those purposes and shall not be used in any other way without the prior written agreement of the VA. This clause expressly limits the contractor/subcontractor’s rights to use data as described in Rights in Data - General, FAR 52.227-14(d) (1).

b. VA information should not be co-mingled, if possible, with any other data on the contractors/ subcontractor’s information systems or media storage systems in order to ensure VA requirements related to data protection and media sanitization can be met. If co-mingling must be allowed to meet the requirements of the business need, the contractor must ensure that VA’s information is returned to the VA or destroyed in accordance with VA’s sanitization requirements. VA reserves the right to conduct on site inspections of contractor and subcontractor IT resources to ensure data security controls, separation of data and job duties, and destruction/media sanitization procedures are in compliance with VA directive requirements.

c. Prior to termination or completion of this contract, contractor/subcontractor must not destroy information received from VA, or gathered/created by the contractor in the course of performing this contract without prior written approval by the VA. Any data destruction done on behalf of VA by a contractor/ subcontractor must be done in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements as outlined in VA Directive 6300, Records and Information Management and its Handbook 6300.1 Records Management Procedures, applicable VA Records Control Schedules, and VA Handbook 6500.1, Electronic Media Sanitization. Self-certification by the subcontractor that the data destruction requirements above have been met must be sent to the VA Contracting Officer within 30 days of termination of the contract.

d. The contractor/subcontractor must receive, gather, store, back up, maintain, use, disclose and dispose of VA information only in compliance with the terms of the contract and applicable Federal and VA information confidentiality and security laws, regulations and policies. If Federal or VA information confidentiality and security laws, regulations and policies become applicable to the VA information or information systems after execution of the contract, or if NIST issues or updates applicable FIPS or Special Publications (SP) after execution of this contract, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to implement the information confidentiality and security laws, regulations and policies in this contract.

e. The contractor/subcontractor shall not make copies of VA information except as authorized and necessary to perform the terms of the agreement or to preserve electronic information stored on contractor/subcontractor electronic storage media for restoration in case any electronic equipment or data used by the contractor/subcontractor needs to be restored to an operating state. If copies are made for restoration purposes, after the restoration is complete, the copies must be appropriately destroyed.

f. If VA determines that the contractor has violated any of the information confidentiality, privacy, and security provisions of the contract, it shall be sufficient grounds for VA to withhold payment to the contractor or third party or terminate the contract for default or terminate for cause under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12.

Page 3 of 14

g. If a VHA contract is terminated for cause, the associated BAA must also be terminated and appropriate actions taken in accordance with VHA Handbook 1600.01, Business Associate Agreements. Absent an agreement to use or disclose protected health information, there is no business associate relationship.

h. The contractor/subcontractor must store, transport, or transmit VA sensitive information in an encrypted form, using VA-approved encryption tools that are, at a minimum, FIPS 140-2 validated.

i. The contractor/subcontractor’s firewall and Web services security controls, if applicable, shall meet or exceed VA’s minimum requirements. VA Configuration Guidelines are available upon request.

j. Except for uses and disclosures of VA information authorized by this contract for performance of the contract, the contractor/subcontractor may use and disclose VA information only in two other situations: (i) in response to a qualifying order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) with VA’s prior written approval. The contractor/subcontractor must refer all requests for, demands for production of, or inquiries about, VA information and information systems to the VA contracting officer for response.

k. Notwithstanding the provision above, the contractor/subcontractor shall not release VA records protected by Title 38 U.S.C. 5705, confidentiality of medical quality assurance records and/or Title 38 U.S.C. 7332, confidentiality of certain health records pertaining to drug addiction, sickle cell anemia, alcoholism or alcohol abuse, or infection with human immunodeficiency virus. If the contractor/subcontractor is in receipt of a court order or other requests for the above mentioned information, that contractor/subcontractor shall immediately refer such court orders or other requests to the VA contracting officer for response.

I. For service that involves the storage, generating, transmitting, or exchanging of VA sensitive information but does not require C&A or an MOU-ISA for system interconnection, the contractor/subcontractor must complete a Contractor Security Control Assessment (CSCA) on a yearly basis and provide it to the COR.

4. INFORMATION SYSTEM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

SECTION 4 REMOVED

5. INFORMATION SYSTEM HOSTING, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, OR USE

SECTION 5 REMOVED

6. SECURITY INCIDENT INVESTIGATION

a. The term “security incident” means an event that has, or could have, resulted in unauthorized access to, loss or damage to VA assets, or sensitive information, or an action that breaches VA security procedures. The contractor/subcontractor shall immediately notify the COR and simultaneously, the designated ISO and Privacy Officer for the contract of any known or suspected security/privacy incidents, or any unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including that contained in system(s) to which the contractor/subcontractor has access.

b. To the extent known by the contractor/subcontractor, the contractor/subcontractor’s notice to VA shall identify the information involved, the circumstances surrounding the incident (including to whom, how, when, and where the VA information or assets were placed at risk or compromised), and any other information that the contractor/subcontractor considers relevant.

c. With respect to unsecured protected health information, the business associate is deemed to have discovered a data breach when the business associate knew or should have known of a breach of such information. Upon discovery, the business associate must notify the covered entity of the breach. Notifications need to be made in accordance with the executed business associate agreement.

Page 4 of 14

d. In instances of theft or break-in or other criminal activity, the contractor/subcontractor must concurrently report the incident to the appropriate law enforcement entity (or entities) of jurisdiction, including the VA OIG and Security and Law Enforcement. The contractor, its employees, and its subcontractors and their employees shall cooperate with VA and any law enforcement authority responsible for the investigation and prosecution of any possible criminal law violation(s) associated with any incident. The contractor/subcontractor shall cooperate with VA in any civil litigation to recover VA information, obtain monetary or other compensation from a third party for damages arising from any incident, or obtain injunctive relief against any third party arising from, or related to, the incident.

7. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR DATA BREACH

a. Consistent with the requirements of 38 U.S.C. §5725, a contract may require access to sensitive personal information. If so, the contractor is liable to VA for liquidated damages in the event of a data breach or privacy incident involving any SP1the contractor/subcontractor processes or maintains under this contract.

b. The contractor/subcontractor shall provide notice to VA of a “security incident” as set forth in the Security Incident Investigation section above. Upon such notification, VA must secure from a non-Department entity or the VA Office of Inspector General an independent risk analysis of the data breach to determine the level of risk associated with the data breach for the potential misuse of any sensitive personal information involved in the data breach. The term ‘data breach’ means the loss, theft, or other unauthorized access, or any access other than that incidental to the scope of employment, to data containing sensitive personal information, in electronic or printed form, that results in the potential compromise of the confidentiality or integrity of the data. Contractor shall fully cooperate with the entity performing the risk analysis. Failure to cooperate may be deemed a material breach and grounds for contract termination.

c. Each risk analysis shall address all relevant information concerning the data breach, including the following:

(1) Nature of the event (loss, theft, unauthorized access);

(2) Description of the event, including:

(a) date of occurrence;

(b) data elements involved, including any PII, such as full name, social security number, date of birth, home address, account number, disability code;

(3) Number of individuals affected or potentially affected;

(4) Names of individuals or groups affected or potentially affected;

(5) Ease of logical data access to the lost, stolen or improperly accessed data in light of the degree of protection for the data, e.g., unencrypted, plain text;

(6) Amount of time the data has been out of VA control;

(7) The likelihood that the sensitive personal information will or has been compromised (made accessible to and usable by unauthorized persons);

(8) Known misuses of data containing sensitive personal information, if any;

Page 5 of 14

(9) Assessment of the potential harm to the affected individuals;

(10) Data breach analysis as outlined in 6500.2 Handbook, Management of Security and Privacy Incidents, as appropriate; and

(11) Whether credit protection services may assist record subjects in avoiding or mitigating the results of identity theft based on the sensitive personal information that may have been compromised.

d. Based on the determinations of the independent risk analysis, the contractor shall be responsible for paying to the VA liquidated damages in the amount of $37.50 per affected individual to cover the cost of providing credit protection services to affected individuals consisting of the following:

(1) Notification;

(2) One year of credit monitoring services consisting of automatic daily monitoring of at least 3 relevant credit bureau reports;

(3) Data breach analysis;

(4) Fraud resolution services, including writing dispute letters, initiating fraud alerts and credit freezes, to assist affected individuals to bring matters to resolution;

(5) One year of identity theft insurance with $20,000.00 coverage at $0 deductible; and

(6) Necessary legal expenses the subjects may incur to repair falsified or damaged credit records, histories, or financial affairs.

8. SECURITY CONTROLS COMPLIANCE TESTING

On a periodic basis, VA, including the Office of Inspector General, reserves the right to evaluate any or all of the security controls and privacy practices implemented by the contractor under the clauses contained within the contract. With 10 working-days’ notice, at the request of the government, the contractor must fully cooperate and assist in a government-sponsored security controls assessment at each location wherein VA information is processed or stored, or information systems are developed, operated, maintained, or used on behalf of VA, including those initiated by the Office of Inspector General. The government may conduct a security control assessment on shorter notice (to include unannounced assessments) as determined by VA in the event of a security incident or at any other time.

9. TRAINING

a. All contractor employees and subcontractor employees requiring access to VA information and VA information systems shall complete the following before being granted access to VA information and its systems:

(1) Sign and acknowledge (either manually or electronically) understanding of and responsibilities for compliance with the Contractor Rules of Behavior, Appendix E relating to access to VA information and information systems;

(2) Successfully complete the VA Cyber Security Awareness and Rules of Behavior training and annually complete required security training;

(3) Successfully complete the appropriate VA privacy training and annually complete required privacy training; and

(4) Successfully complete any additional cyber security or privacy training, as required for VA personnel with equivalent information system access [to be defined by the VA program official and provided to the contracting officer for inclusion in the solicitation document – e.g., any role-based information security training required in accordance with NIST Special Publication 800-16, Information Technology Security Training Requirements.]

Page 6 of 14

b. The subcontractor shall provide to the contracting officer and/or the COR a copy of the training certificates and certification of signing the Contractor Rules of Behavior for each applicable employee within 1 week of the initiation of the contract and annually thereafter, as required.

c. Failure to complete the mandatory annual training and sign the Rules of Behavior annually, within the timeframe required, is grounds for suspension or termination of all physical or electronic access privileges and removal from work on the contract until such time as the training and documents are complete.

CONTRACTOR RULES OF BEHAVIOR

This User Agreement contains rights and authorizations regarding my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This User Agreement covers my access to all VA data whether electronic or hard copy (“Data”), VA information systems and resources (“Systems”), and VA sites (“Sites”). This User Agreement incorporates Rules of Behavior for using VA, and other information systems and resources under the contract.

1. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ALL ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES UNDER THE CONTRACT:

a. I understand and agree that I have no reasonable expectation of privacy in accessing or using any VA, or other Federal Government information systems.

b. I consent to reviews and actions by the Office of Information & Technology (OI&T) staff designated and authorized by the VA Chief Information Officer (CIO) and to the VA OIG regarding my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with the VA. These actions may include monitoring, recording, copying, inspecting, restricting access, blocking, tracking, and disclosing to all authorized Ol&T, VA, and law enforcement personnel as directed by the VA CIO without my prior consent or notification.

c. I consent to reviews and actions by authorized VA systems administrators and Information Security Officers solely for protection of the VA infrastructure, including, but

not limited to monitoring, recording, auditing, inspecting, investigating, restricting access, blocking, tracking, disclosing to authorized personnel, or any other authorized actions by all authorized Ol&T, VA, and law enforcement personnel.

d. I understand and accept that unauthorized attempts or acts to access, upload, change, or delete information on Federal Government systems; modify Federal government systems; deny access to Federal government systems; accrue resources for unauthorized use on Federal government systems; or otherwise misuse Federal government systems or resources are prohibited.

e. I understand that such unauthorized attempts or acts are subject to action that may result in criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. This includes penalties for violations of Federal laws including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. §1030 (fraud and related activity in connection with computers) and 18 U.S.C. §2701 (unlawful access to stored communications).

f. I agree that Ol&T staff, in the course of obtaining access to information or systems on my behalf for performance under the contract, may provide information about me including, but not limited to, appropriate unique personal identifiers such as date of birth and social security number to other system administrators, Information Security Officers (ISOs), or other authorized staff without further notifying me or obtaining additional written or verbal permission from me.

Page 7 of 14

g. I understand I must comply with VA’s security and data privacy directives and handbooks. I understand that copies of those directives and handbooks can be obtained from the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COR). If the contractor believes the policies and guidance provided by the COR is a material unilateral change to the contract, the contractor must elevate such concerns to the Contracting Officer for resolution.

h. I will report suspected or identified information security/privacy incidents to the COR and to the local ISO or Privacy Officer as appropriate.

2. GENERAL RULES OF BEHAVIOR

a. Rules of Behavior are part of a comprehensive program to provide complete information security. These rules establish standards of behavior in recognition of the fact that knowledgeable users are the foundation of a successful security program. Users must understand that taking personal responsibility for the security of their computer and the information it contains is an essential part of their job.

b. The following rules apply to all VA contractors. I agree to:

(1) Follow established procedures for requesting, accessing, and closing user accounts and access. I will not request or obtain access beyond what is normally granted to users or by what is outlined in the contract.

(2) Use only systems, software, databases, and data which I am authorized to use, including any copyright restrictions.

(3) I will not use other equipment (OE) (non-contractor owned) for the storage, transfer, or processing of VA sensitive information without a VA CIO approved waiver, unless it has been reviewed and approved by local management and is included in the language of the contract. If authorized to use OE IT equipment, I must ensure that the system meets all applicable 6500 Handbook requirements for OE.

(4) Not use my position of trust and access rights to exploit system controls or access information for any reason other than in the performance of the contract.

(5) Not attempt to override or disable security, technical, or management controls unless expressly permitted to do so as an explicit requirement under the contract or at the direction of the COR or ISO. If I am allowed or required to have a local administrator account on a government-owned computer, that local administrative account does not confer me unrestricted access or use, nor the authority to bypass security or other controls except as expressly permitted by the VA CIO or CIO’s designee.

(6) Contractors’ use of systems, information, or sites is strictly limited to fulfill the terms of the contract. I understand no personal use is authorized. I will only use other Federal government information systems as expressly authorized by the terms of those systems. I accept that the restrictions under ethics regulations and criminal law still apply.

(7) Grant access to systems and information only to those who have an official need to know.

(8) Protect passwords from access by other individuals.

(9) Create and change passwords in accordance with VA Handbook 6500 on systems and any devices protecting VA information as well as the rules of behavior and security settings for the particular system in question.

(10) Protect information and systems from unauthorized disclosure, use, modification, or destruction. I will only use encryption that is FIPS 140-2 validated to safeguard VA sensitive information, both safeguarding VA sensitive information in storage and in transit regarding my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with the VA.

Page 8 of 14

(11) Follow VA Handbook 6500.1, Electronic Media Sanitization to protect VA information. I will contact the COR for policies and guidance on complying with this requirement and will follow the COR’s orders.

(12) Ensure that the COR has previously approved VA information for public dissemination, including e-mail communications outside of the VA as appropriate. I will not make any unauthorized disclosure of any VA sensitive information through the use of any means of communication including but not limited to e-mail, instant messaging, online chat, and web bulletin boards or logs.

(13) Not host, set up, administer, or run an Internet server related to my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with the VA unless explicitly authorized under the contract or in writing by the COR.

(14) Protect government property from theft, destruction, or misuse. I will follow VA directives and handbooks on handling Federal government IT equipment, information, and systems. I will not take VA sensitive information from the workplace without authorization from the COR.

(15) Only use anti-virus software, antispyware, and firewall/intrusion detection software authorized by VA. I will contact the COR for policies and guidance on complying with this requirement and will follow the COR’s orders regarding my access to and use of any information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms with VA.

(16) Not disable or degrade the standard anti-virus software, antispyware, and/or firewall/intrusion detection software on the computer I use to access and use information assets or resources associated with my performance of services under the contract terms

with VA. I will report anti-virus, antispyware, firewall or intrusion detection software errors, or significant alert messages to the COR.

(17) Understand that restoration of service of any VA system is a concern of all users of the system.

(18) Complete required information security and privacy training, and complete required training for the particular systems to which I require access.

3. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS FOR USE OF NON- VA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES

a. When required to complete work under the contract, I will directly connect to the VA network whenever possible. If a direct connection to the VA network is not possible, then I will use VA approved remote access software and services.

b. Remote access to non-public VA information technology resources is prohibited from publicly-available IT computers, such as remotely connecting to the internal VA network from computers in a public library.

c. I will not have both a VA network line and any kind of non-VA network line including a wireless network card, modem with phone line, or other network device physically connected to my computer at the same time, unless the dual connection is explicitly authorized by the COR.

d. I understand that I may not obviate or evade my responsibility to adhere to VA security requirements by subcontracting any work under any given contract or agreement with VA, and that any subcontractor(s) I engage shall likewise be bound by the same security requirements and penalties for violating the same.

5.5 Illumina

SNP Selection and Submission Requirements for Custom Genotyping Projects

5.5.1

Illumina SNP Format Guidelines

Queries for SNP selection can be submitted to obtain designability information. In addition, for human studies, data from the currently supported dbSNP version will be returned. The following input file types are supported:

5.5.1.1

SNP list. Customers can submit SNPs for human studies using the RS identifiers.

5.5.1.2

Gene list. Gene lists (and distance upstream and downstream from the designated gene) can be used as an input to obtain a list of SNPs within the gene region for human studies.

5.5.1.3

Region list. A list of markers that act as “start” and “stop” region identifiers

can be used to query SNPs for human studies. As with the gene list, the distance upstream and downstream (in base pairs) can also be designated in the input format.

Page 4 of 5

5.5.1.4

Sequence List. For human studies and a supported list of species (e.g., mouse, dog, chicken, ...), a list of sequences, chromosomal designations and coordinates can be input. Assays for non- supported species can be designed as well using this submission format. Sequence lists require the use of IUPAC code for any neighboring polymorphisms with the targeted SNP in brackets (e.g., [A/G]) with a minimum of 50bp of sequence on either side of the targeted SNP.

5.5.2

SNP Selection Additional Support

In addition to data on designability and minor allele frequency provided through Illumina’s Assay Design Tool (ADT), Illumina’s Fast-Track Genotyping Services is able to provide the following additional support in SNP selection:

5.5.2.1

Tag Selection. We use genotype data from Phase I+II of the International HapMap Project to complete a tag selection. User inputs include overall regions to target, SNPs per bin (based on r^2 threshold), minor allele frequency minimum, and population of interest (CEU, CHB, JPT,YRI).

5.5.2.2

Spacing Optimization. Illumina’s automated spacing selection tool can help target the SNPs within a list

that give optimal spacing balanced with minor allele frequency (and, if desired, mandatory SNPs).

5.5.2.3

Annotation. Illumina can provide annotation (contig, refseq genes, and distance to the closet intron/exon boundary on any RS list in human studies.

5.5.3

SNP Analysis and Selection Process

As part of the SNP selection process, SNP sequences are analyzed for assay fitness. Examples of some criteria considered for assay design ability include:

5.5.3.1

The SNP sequences are not from duplicated sequences within the genome.

5.5.3.2

The SNP sequence is not in a repeated element.

5.5.3.3

The AT and GC content is acceptable.

5.5.3.4

Tm is acceptable.

5.5.4

A note regarding iSelect Custom Infinium SNP selection

All SNP classes use the Infinium chemistry. The following SNPs require a minimum of one bead type: A/C, A/G, T/C, and T/G. SNPs requiring two bead types include A/T and C/G SNPs

After analysis Customer will receive a file of the markers and their design score for the Illumina assay along with minor allele frequency and any additional supported information requested (e.g., annotation or tag selection) when available. The Customer will be given the opportunity to review, approve and edit the selected SNPs.

After Customer approval of the SNPs, oligo manufacturing will begin. The number of SNPs present in the final data set will depend on the assay conversion rate. It is expected that some assays will fail, and therefore no data will be delivered for these SNPs.

For Custom Infinium projects, the minimum manufacturing locus conversion rate is 80%. The assay success rate depends on the markers that are selected during the design phase. If a majority of chosen markers have previously been validated on the Infinium platform (design score of 1.1) the final locus conversion rate may be very high. Selected markers with low design scores will however reduce the locus conversion rate.
