In addition, the Amendment includes colorectal cancer as an indication subject to exclusivity in the Tempus Agreement and extends the time period during which the Company will not allow any third party (other than an acquiror of the Company or any affiliates of such acquiror) to market the NeXT Personal in any of the Indications and Tempus will not market another tumor-informed molecular residual disease assay indicated for use in such indications (whether its own or that of a third party) to December 31, 2028, in each case subject to certain exceptions and to the extent they do not expire earlier (the "Exclusivity Period").
The Amendment modified the term of certain customary standstill restrictions agreed to by Tempus in the Tempus Agreement such that they will automatically expire on the earlier of (i) June 4, 2027 and (ii) the expiration or termination of the Exclusivity Period.
