(a) Buyer Indemnification of the Seller. With respect to indemnification claims that may be asserted under Section 6.01:

(i) If a Seller Indemnified Party wishes to seek indemnification under this Article VI, the Seller Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Buyer provided, that in the case of any action or lawsuit brought or asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) that would entitle the Seller Indemnified Party to indemnity hereunder, the Seller shall promptly notify the Buyer of the same in writing; provided further, that the failure to so notify the Buyer promptly shall not relieve the Buyer of its indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Buyer has been materially prejudiced thereby.

(ii) Any request for indemnification made by a Seller Indemnified Party shall be in writing, shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim, the facts pertaining thereto and, if known and quantifiable, the amount thereof.

(iii) In the case of any Third Party Claim, if within 30 Business Days after receiving the notice described in Section 6.04(a)(i) above the Buyer gives written notice to the Seller stating (i) that the Buyer disputes and intends to defend against such claim and (ii) that the Buyer will be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with or otherwise relating to such claim, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Buyer (subject to the consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), whereupon the Buyer shall not be required to make any payment to the Seller Indemnified Party for the costs of its defense counsel in respect of such Third Party Claim as long as the Buyer is conducting a good faith and diligent defense; provided, that the Seller Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel. If the Buyer assumes the defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall have the right, with the consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle the portion of such Third Party Claim that is subject to indemnification; provided, that the settlement (i) does not involve the imposition of an injunction or other equitable relief on the Seller Indemnified Party, and (ii) expressly and unconditionally releases the Seller Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim (and all other claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances), with prejudice. The Buyer shall keep the Seller apprised of the status of any Third Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense, shall furnish the Seller with all documents and information that such Seller Indemnified Party reasonably requests, and shall consult with the Seller prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Buyer shall not have the right to assume control of the defense, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Seller Indemnified Party, if the Third Party Claim which the Buyer seeks to assume control of: (1) seeks non-monetary relief; (2) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations; (3) is one in which Buyer and the Seller Indemnified Party are both named in the complaint, and joint representation by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of ethical conduct; or (4) involves a claim for which an adverse determination would have a material and adverse effect on the Seller Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects. If notice of intent to dispute and defend is not given by the Buyer within the time period referenced above, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, then the Seller Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Seller Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim (exercising reasonable business judgment) in its discretion. If such Third Party Claim is one that, by its nature, cannot be defended solely by the Buyer, then the Seller Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Buyer shall reasonably request, and shall cooperate with the Buyer in such defense.

(b) Seller Indemnification of Buyer. With respect to indemnification claims that may be asserted under Section 6.02:

(i) If a Buyer Indemnified Party wishes to seek indemnification under this Section 6.2, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Seller provided, that in the case of any Third Party Claim that would entitle the Buyer Indemnified Party to indemnity hereunder, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Seller of the same in writing; provided further, that the failure to so notify the Seller promptly shall not relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Seller has been materially prejudiced thereby.

(ii) Any request for indemnification made by a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be in writing, shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim, the facts pertaining thereto and, if known and quantifiable, the amount thereof.

(iii) In the case of any Third Party Claim, if within 30 Business Days after receiving the notice described in Section 6.04(b)(i) above the Seller gives written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party stating (i) that the Seller disputes and intends to defend against such claim and (ii) that the Seller will be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with or otherwise relating to such claim, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Seller (subject to the consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), whereupon the Seller shall not be required to make any payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party for the costs of its defense counsel in respect of such Third Party Claim as long as the Seller is conducting a good faith and diligent defense; provided, that the Buyer Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel. If the Seller assumes the defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall have the right, with the consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle the portion of such Third Party Claim that is subject to indemnification; provided, that the settlement (i) does not involve the imposition of an injunction or other equitable relief on the Buyer Indemnified Party, and (ii) expressly and unconditionally releases the Buyer Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim (and all other claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances), with prejudice. The Seller shall keep the Buyer Indemnified Party apprised of the status of any Third Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense, shall furnish the Buyer Indemnified Party with all documents and information that Seller reasonably requests, and shall consult with the Buyer Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Seller shall not have the right to assume control of the defense, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Buyer Indemnified Party, if the Third Party Claim which the Seller seeks to assume control of: (1) seeks non-monetary relief; (2) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations; (3) is one in which Buyer Indemnified Party and the Seller are both named in the complaint, and joint representation by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of ethical conduct; or (4) involves a claim for which an adverse determination would have a material and adverse effect on the Buyer Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects. If notice of intent to dispute and defend is not given by the Seller within the time period referenced above, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, then the Buyer Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Buyer Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim (exercising reasonable business judgment) in its discretion. If such Third Party Claim is one that, by its nature, cannot be defended solely by the Seller, then the Buyer Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Seller shall reasonably request, and shall cooperate with the Seller in such defense.

From and after the Closing, the indemnification provided pursuant to this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Damages resulting from or arising out of any breach or claim in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the cause of action; provided, however, that neither the foregoing nor anything else contained in this Agreement shall limit a Party’s remedies in the case of fraud or in respect of the pursuit of equitable remedies, including injunctive relief and specific performance.

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

NATIONAL REFERENCE LABORATORY FOR BREAST HEALTH, INC.

(Pursuant to Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

National Reference Laboratory for Breast Health, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

A. The name of this corporation is National Reference Laboratory for Breast Health, Inc., and that this corporation was originally incorporated pursuant to the DGCL on November 28, 2011.

B. That the Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions proposing to amend and restate the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, declaring said amendment and restatement to be advisable and in the best interests of this corporation and its stockholders, and authorizing the appropriate officers of this corporation to solicit the consent of the stockholders therefor, which resolution setting forth the proposed amendment and restatement is as follows:

RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

1. The name of this corporation is National Reference Laboratory for Breast Health, Inc., and that this corporation was originally incorporated pursuant to the DGCL on November 28, 2011.

2. The registered office of this corporation in the State of Delaware is located at 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, City of Wilmington 19808, County of New Castle. The name of its registered agent at such address is Corporation Service Company.

3. The purpose of this corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized wider the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

4. Upon the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this “Certificate of Incorporation”), the capitalization of this Corporation shall consist of: one hundred (100) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), and 24 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Preferred Stock”).

5. Except as otherwise provided in the provisions establishing a class of stock, the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation entitled to vote irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

6. The business and affairs of this corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The size of the Board of Directors shall be set at three. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the by-laws of this corporation, as in effect from time to time (the “By-laws”) shall so require.

7. No dividends, whether in cash, in property or in shares of the capital stock of the Corporation, shall be declared or set aside for any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation unless and until the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have declared and the Corporation shall have paid in full a dividend in like amount and kind on the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (determined based upon the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractions of a share) into which each share of Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof could be converted pursuant to the provisions hereof).

8. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such holder, and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share could be converted at the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.

9. The holders of Preferred Stock have conversion rights as follows:

(a) Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing 1.00 by the Preferred Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The Preferred Conversion Price shall initially be 1.00 per share of Common Stock. The Preferred Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Such conversion rights shall be exercised by the holder thereof giving written notice that the holder elects to convert a stated number of shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Promptly after the receipt of the written notice of conversion and surrender of the certificate or certificates for the share or shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder a certificate or certificates, registered in such name or names as such holder may direct, for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected and the Preferred Conversion Price shall be determined as of the close of business on the date on which such written notice shall have been received by the Corporation and the certificate or certificates for such share or shares shall have been surrendered and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby.

(b) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock and no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any cash dividends on the Common Stock issued upon such conversion, the record date for which dividends is prior to the date such conversion is deemed to be effective as provided in Subsection 9(a). If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Subsection 9(b), be delivered upon such conversion, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the holder surrendering the Preferred Stock for conversion an amount in cash equal to the Preferred Conversion Price of such fractional share.

(c) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock.

(d) Shares of Preferred Stock which are converted into shares of Common Stock as provided herein shall not be reissued.

(e) Adjustments to Conversion Price.

(i) If and whenever the Corporation shall issue or sell capital stock or Convertible Securities then upon such issuance or sale, the Preferred Conversion Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Preferred Conversion Price then in effect multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of capital stock and Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale divided by the total number of shares of capital stock and Convertible Securities outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale. "Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, options, warrants, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

(ii) In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, Preferred Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, Preferred Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

(iii) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock receivable upon such conversion had such reorganization or reclassification not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Preferred Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such conversion rights.

(iv) Upon any adjustment of the Preferred Conversion Price, the Corporation shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid or facsimile, addressed to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation, which notice shall state the Preferred Conversion Price (as applicable) resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation upon which such adjustment is based.

10. This corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect.

liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the corporation, effect any merger or consolidation or any other Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), or consent to any of the foregoing;

amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation;

create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, any additional class or series of capital stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or increase the authorized number of shares of any additional class or series of capital stock;

reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the corporation;

purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the corporation; or

increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors.

Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of at least 100% of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the corporation at least five (5) days prior to the effective date of a merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the corporation is a constituent party and the corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the corporation if substantially all of the assets of the corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation.

11. In furtherance and not in limitation of the power conferred upon the Board of Directors by law, the Board of Directors shall have power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal from time to time the By-laws of this corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to alter and repeal by-laws made by the Board of Directors.

12. A director of this corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not permitted under the DGCL as in effect at the time such liability is determined. No amendment or repeal of this Paragraph 9 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

13. This Corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, indemnify any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, (i) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans or (ii) in such person’s capacity as an officer, employee or agent of the corporation or in such person’s capacity as an officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, that such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation (each such person described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a “Covered Person”), against expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred (and not otherwise recovered) in connection with the investigation, preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require this corporation to indemnify any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person other than an action authorized by the Board of Directors. Such indemnification shall not be exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under any by-law, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such person. Any person seeking indemnification under this paragraph 10 shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 10 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Covered Person with respect to any acts or omissions of such Covered Person occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

(a) The Corporation shall pay on a current and as-incurred basis expenses incurred by any Covered Person in defending or otherwise participating in any action, suit, proceeding or claim in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding or claim, including appeals, upon presentation of (i) an unsecured written undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder and (ii) adequate documentation reflecting such expenses.

(b) It is the intent that with respect to all advancement and indemnification obligations under this paragraph 13, the corporation shall be the primary source of advancement, reimbursement and indemnification relative to any direct or indirect shareholder of the corporation (or any affiliate of such shareholder, other than the corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries). The Corporation shall have no right to seek contribution, indemnity or other reimbursement for any of its obligations under this paragraph 10 from any such direct or indirect shareholder of the Corporation (or any affiliate of such shareholder, other than the corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries).

(c) This Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain, at its expense, insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL or the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation.

14. To the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, this Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to its officers, directors or stockholders, other than those officers, directors or stockholders who are employees of the corporation. No amendment or repeal of this paragraph shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any officer, director or stockholder of the Corporation for or with respect to any opportunities of which such officer, director or stockholder becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this paragraph. As used herein, “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust association or any other entity.

15. The books of this Corporation may (subject to any statutory requirements) be kept outside the State of Delaware as may be designated by the Board of Directors or in the by-laws of this Corporation.
