Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any provision Under Section 262 of this Agreement to the contraryDGCL, any Target holder of Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to at the Effective Time (a "Remaining Stockholder") who does not wish to accept the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger will have the right to seek an appraisal and be paid the "fair value" of its Shares as of the Effective Time (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger) judicially determined and paid to it in cash provided that such holder complies with the provisions of such Section 262 of the DGCL. The following is a brief summary of the statutory procedures to be followed by a Remaining Stockholder in order to perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law. This summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the text of which is set forth in Annex A hereto. Any Remaining Stockholder considering demanding appraisal is advised to consult legal counsel. Appraisal rights will not be available unless and until the Merger (or a similar merger) is consummated. APPRAISAL RIGHTS CANNOT BE EXERCISED AT THIS TIME. THE INFORMATION SET FORTH BELOW IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY WITH RESPECT TO ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS IF THE MERGER IS CONSUMMATED. STOCKHOLDERS WHO WILL BE ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER WILL RECEIVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING APPRAISAL RIGHTS AND THE PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH BEFORE SUCH STOCKHOLDERS HAVE TO TAKE ANY ACTION RELATING THERETO. STOCKHOLDERS WHO SELL SHARES IN THE OFFER WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS WITH RESPECT THERETO BUT, RATHER, WILL RECEIVE THE PRICE PAID IN THE OFFER THEREFOR. Remaining Stockholders of record who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must fully satisfy all of the following conditions. A written demand for appraisal of Shares must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company (x) before the taking of the vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement, if the Merger is not being effected as a Short-Form Merger but rather is being consummated following a vote thereon at a meeting of the Company's stockholders (a "long-form merger"), and in such case such Remaining Stockholder must not vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, or (y) within 20 days after the date that the Surviving Corporation mails to the Remaining Stockholders a notice (the "Notice of Merger") to the effect that the Merger is effective and that appraisal rights are held available (and includes in such notice a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL and any other information required thereby), if the Merger is being effected as a Short-Form Merger without a vote or meeting of the Company's stockholders. If the Merger is effected as a long-form merger, a written demand for appraisal of Shares must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote abstaining from or voting against adoption of the Merger Agreement, and neither voting against, abstaining from voting, nor failing to vote on the Merger Agreement will constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262 of the DGCL. In the case of a long-form merger, any stockholder seeking appraisal rights must hold the Shares for which appraisal is sought on the date of the making of the demand, continuously hold such Shares through the Effective Time, and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. In the case of both a Short-Form Merger and a long-form merger, a demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the stockholder of record, fully and correctly, as such stockholder's name appears on the stock certificates. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a Target Shareholder trustee, guardian or custodian, such demand must be executed by the fiduciary. If Shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, such demand must be executed by all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner and expressly disclose the fact that, in exercising the demand, he is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds Shares as a nominee for others, may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the Shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of Shares as to which the holder is the record owner. In such case the written demand must set forth the number of Shares covered by such demand. Where the number of shares is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all Shares outstanding in the name of such record owner. Beneficial owners who are not record owners and who intend to exercise appraisal rights should instruct the record owner to comply strictly with the statutory requirements with respect to the exercise of appraisal rights before the date of any meeting of stockholders of the Company called to approve the Merger in the case of a long-form merger and within 20 days following the mailing of the Notice of Merger in the case of a Short-Form Merger. Remaining Stockholders who elect to exercise appraisal rights must mail or deliver their written demands to: Corporate Secretary, Minolta-QMS, Inc., Law Department, One Magnum Pass, Mobile, Alabama 36618. The written demand for appraisal should specify the stockholder's name and mailing address, the number of Shares covered by the demand and that has the stockholder is thereby demanding appraisal of such Shares. In the case of a long-form merger, the Company must, within ten days after the Effective Time, provide notice of the Effective Time to all stockholders who have demanded appraisal and complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and have not voted for adoption of the Merger Agreement. In the case of a long-form merger, Remaining Stockholders electing to exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262 must not vote for the adoption of the Merger Agreement or consent thereto in writing. Voting in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, or consented thereto delivering a proxy in writing connection with the stockholders meeting called to adopt the Merger Agreement (unless the proxy votes against, or expressly abstains from the vote on, the adoption of the Merger Agreement), will constitute a waiver of the stockholder's right of appraisal and that has properly delivered a will nullify any written notice of demand for appraisal submitted by the stockholder. Regardless of whether the Merger is effected as a long-form merger or a Short-Form Merger, within 120 days after the Effective Time, either the Company or any stockholder who has demanded appraisal and complied with the required conditions of Section 262 and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the Shares of the dissenting stockholders. If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed, after a hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights and thereafter will appraise the Shares owned by such stockholders, determining the fair value of such Target Shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with a fair rate of interest to be paid, if any, upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery is to take into account all relevant factors. In XXXXXXXXXX X. XXX, INC., ET AL., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that "proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered and the "[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company." The Delaware Supreme Court stated that in making this determination of fair value the court must consider "market value, asset value dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which were known or which could be ascertained as of the date of merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation." The Delaware Supreme Court has construed Section 262 of the DGCL to mean that "elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered." However, the court noted that Section 262 provides that fair value is to be determined "exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." Remaining Stockholders who in the future consider seeking appraisal should have in mind that the fair value of their Shares determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the Merger Consideration if they do seek appraisal of their Shares, and that opinions of investment banking firms as to fairness from a financial point of view are not necessarily opinions as to fair value under Section 262 of the DGCL. The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable in accordance the circumstances. Upon application of a dissenting stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any dissenting stockholder in connection with the NGCLappraisal proceeding, if including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and the NGCL provides for fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all Shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of such a determination or assessment, each party bears its own expenses. Any Remaining Stockholder who has duly demanded appraisal rights for such Target Shares in compliance with Section 262 of the Merger (the “Dissenting Target Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive Power3 Shares unless and until such Target Shareholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal and payment under the NGCL. IfDGCL will not, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote for any purpose the Shares subject to such Target Shareholder fails demand or to perfect receive payment of dividends or effectively withdraws other distributions on such Shares, except for dividends or loses its right other distributions payable to appraisal, such Dissenting Target Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as stockholders of record at a date prior to the Effective Time into the right to receive the Power3 Shares to which such Target Shareholder is entitled, without interest or dividends thereon. The Company shall give Power3: (i) prompt notice of any notice or demands for appraisal or payment for Target Shares received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands or notices. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Power3, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands. Any amounts paid to holders of Dissenting Target Shares in an appraisal proceeding shall be paid by the Surviving Company out of its own funds and will not be paid, directly or indirectly, by Power3. Each Dissenting Target Share, if any, shall be canceled after payment in respect thereof has been made to the holder thereof pursuant to the NGCLTime. At any time within 60 days after the Effective Time, any former holder of Dissenting Target Shares shall have the right to withdraw his or her demand for appraisal and to accept the Merger Consideration. After this period, such holder may withdraw his or her demand for appraisal only with the consent of the Company as the Surviving Corporation. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within 120 days after the Effective Time, stockholders' rights to appraisal shall cease and all stockholders shall be entitled to have receive the Merger Consideration. Inasmuch as the Company has no obligation to file such a petition, and Parent has no present intention to cause or permit the Surviving Corporation to do so, any stockholder who desires such a petition to be filed is advised to file it on a timely basis. No petition timely filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding appraisal shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just. Failure to take any required step in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights with respect thereto except may result in the rights provided by the NGCL termination or as otherwise provided in this Section 1.3waiver of such rights.

Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any provision APPRAISAL RIGHTS CANNOT BE EXERCISED AT THIS TIME. THE INFORMATION SET FORTH BELOW IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY WITH RESPECT TO ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS IF THE MERGER IS CONSUMMATED. STOCKHOLDERS WHO WILL BE ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER WILL RECEIVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING APPRAISAL RIGHTS AND THE PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH BEFORE SUCH STOCKHOLDERS HAVE TO TAKE ANY ACTION RELATING THERETO. STOCKHOLDERS WHO SELL SHARES IN THE OFFER WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL RIGHTS WITH RESPECT THERETO BUT, RATHER, WILL RECEIVE THE PRICE PAID IN THE OFFER THEREFOR. Under Section 262 of this Agreement to the contraryDGCL, any Target holder of Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to at the Effective Time (a "REMAINING STOCKHOLDER") who does not wish to accept the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger will have the right to seek an appraisal and be paid the "fair value" of its Shares as of the Effective Time (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger) judicially determined and paid to it in cash provided that such holder complies with the provisions of such Section 262 of the DGCL. The following is a brief summary of the statutory procedures to be followed by a Remaining Stockholder in order to perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law. This summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL, the text of which is set forth in ANNEX B hereto. Any Remaining Stockholder considering demanding appraisal is advised to consult legal counsel. Appraisal rights will not be available unless and until the Merger (or a similar merger) is consummated. Remaining Stockholders of record who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must fully satisfy all of the following conditions. A written demand for appraisal of Shares must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company (i) before the taking of the vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement, if the Merger is not being effected as a short-form merger but rather is being consummated following a vote thereon at a meeting of the Company's stockholders (a "LONG-FORM MERGER"), and in such case such Remaining Stockholder must not vote in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) within 20 days after the date that the Surviving Corporation mails to the Remaining Stockholders a notice (the "NOTICE OF MERGER") to the effect that the Merger is effective and that appraisal rights are held available (and includes in such notice a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL and any other information required thereby), if the Merger is being effected as a short-form merger without a vote or meeting of the Company's stockholders. If the Merger is effected as a long-form merger, a written demand for appraisal of Shares must be made in addition to and separate from any proxy abstaining from voting or any vote against adoption of the Merger Agreement, and neither voting against, abstaining from voting, nor failing to vote on the Merger Agreement will constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262 of the DGCL. In the case of a long-form merger, any stockholder seeking appraisal rights must (i) hold the Shares for which appraisal is sought on the date the demand is made, (ii) continuously hold such Shares through the Effective Time, and (iii) otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. In the case of both a short-form merger and a long-form merger, a demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the stockholder of record, fully and correctly, as such stockholder's name appears on the stock certificates. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a Target Shareholder trustee, guardian or custodian, such demand must be executed by the fiduciary. If Shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, such demand must be executed by all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent for two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner and expressly disclose the fact that, in exercising the demand, he is acting as agent for the record owner. A record owner, such as a broker, who holds Shares as a nominee for others, may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the Shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of Shares as to which the holder is the record owner. In such case the written demand must set forth the number of Shares covered by such demand. Where the number of Shares is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all Shares outstanding in the name of such record owner. Beneficial owners who are not record owners and who intend to exercise appraisal rights should instruct the record owner to comply strictly with the statutory requirements with respect to the exercise of appraisal rights before the date of any meeting of stockholders of the Company called to approve the Merger in the case of a long-form merger and within 20 days following the mailing of the Notice of Merger in the case of a short-form merger. Remaining Stockholders who elect to exercise appraisal rights must mail or deliver their written demands to: 800-JR CIGAR, Inc., 000 Xxxxx 00 Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, Attn: Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Colleton, General Counsel. The written demand for appraisal should specify the stockholder's name and mailing address, the number of Shares covered by the demand and that has the stockholder is thereby demanding appraisal of such Shares. In the case of a long-form merger, the Company must, within ten days after the Effective Time, provide notice of the Effective Time to all stockholders who have demanded appraisal and complied with Section 262 of the DGCL and have not voted for adoption of the Merger Agreement. In the case of a long-form merger, Remaining Stockholders electing to exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262 must not vote for the adoption of the Merger Agreement or consent thereto in writing. Voting in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, or consented thereto delivering a proxy in writing connection with the stockholders meeting called to adopt the Merger Agreement (unless the proxy votes against, or expressly abstains from the vote on, the adoption of the Merger Agreement), will constitute a waiver of the stockholder's right of appraisal and that has properly delivered a will nullify any written notice of demand for appraisal submitted by the stockholder. Regardless of whether the Merger is effected as a long-form merger or a short-form merger, within 120 days after the Effective Time, either the Company or any stockholder who has demanded appraisal and complied with the required conditions of Section 262 and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights may file a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the Shares of the dissenting stockholders. If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed, after a hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights and thereafter will appraise the Shares owned by such stockholders, determining the fair value of such Target Shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with a fair rate of interest to be paid, if any, upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery is to take into account all relevant factors. In XXXXXXXXXX X. XXX, INC., ET AL., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that "proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should be considered and that "[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company." The Delaware Supreme Court stated that in making this determination of fair value the court must consider "market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which were known or which could be ascertained as of the date of merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation." The Delaware Supreme Court has construed Section 262 of the DGCL to mean that "elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered." However, the court noted that Section 262 provides that fair value is to be determined "exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger." Remaining Stockholders who in the future consider seeking appraisal should have in mind that the fair value of their Shares determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the Merger Consideration if they do seek appraisal of their Shares, and that opinions of investment banking firms as to fairness from a financial point of view are not necessarily opinions as to fair value under Section 262 of the DGCL. The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable under the circumstances. Upon application of a dissenting stockholder, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any dissenting stockholder in accordance connection with the NGCLappraisal proceeding, if including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and the NGCL provides for fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all Shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of such a determination or assessment, each party bears its own expenses. Any Remaining Stockholder who has duly demanded appraisal rights for such Target Shares in compliance with Section 262 of the Merger (the “Dissenting Target Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive Power3 Shares unless and until such Target Shareholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal and payment under the NGCL. IfDGCL will not, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote the Shares for any purpose, subject to such Target Shareholder fails demand, or to perfect receive payment of dividends or effectively withdraws other distributions on such Shares, except for dividends or loses its right other distributions payable to appraisal, such Dissenting Target Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as stockholders of record at a date prior to the Effective Time into the right to receive the Power3 Shares to which such Target Shareholder is entitled, without interest or dividends thereon. The Company shall give Power3: (i) prompt notice of any notice or demands for appraisal or payment for Target Shares received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands or notices. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Power3, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands. Any amounts paid to holders of Dissenting Target Shares in an appraisal proceeding shall be paid by the Surviving Company out of its own funds and will not be paid, directly or indirectly, by Power3. Each Dissenting Target Share, if any, shall be canceled after payment in respect thereof has been made to the holder thereof pursuant to the NGCLTime. At any time within 60 days after the Effective Time, any former holder of Dissenting Target Shares shall have the right to withdraw his or her demand for appraisal and to accept the Merger Consideration. After this period, such holder may withdraw his or her demand for appraisal only with the consent of the Company as the Surviving Corporation. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within 120 days after the Effective Time, stockholders' rights to appraisal shall cease and all stockholders shall be entitled to have receive the Merger Consideration. Inasmuch as the Company has no obligation to file such a petition, and Parent has no present intention to cause or permit the Surviving Corporation to do so, any stockholder who desires such a petition to be filed is advised to file such petition on a timely basis. No petition timely filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding appraisal shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just. Failure to take any required step in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights with respect thereto except may result in the rights provided by termination or waiver of such rights.

Such written notice must be sent to the Secretary of the Company at Xxx Xxxx, Suite 0000, 000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000. A vote against the Merger is not sufficient to satisfy the requirement of delivering a written notice to the Company. In addition, the shareholder must not effect any change in the beneficial ownership of his Shares from the date of filing the notice with the Company through the consummation of the Merger, and that are held by a Target Shareholder that has Shares for which payment of fair value is sought must not be voted in favor of the Merger. Failure by a dissenting shareholder to comply with any of the foregoing will result in his forfeiture of any right to demand payment of fair value for his Shares. A record holder of Xxxxxx held in whole or in part for the benefit of another person may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer than all of the Shares registered in his name only if he dissents with respect to all the Shares beneficially owned by any one person and discloses the name and address of the person or persons on whose behalf he dissents. A beneficial owner of Shares who is not the record holder may assert dissenters' rights with respect to Xxxxxx held on his behalf if he submits to the Company the written consent of the record holder not later than the time of assertion of dissenters' rights. A beneficial owner may not dissent with respect to fewer than all of the Shares owned by him, whether or not such Shares are registered in his name. If the Merger is approved, the Company shall mail to all dissenters who gave due notice of their intention to demand payment of fair value and who refrained from voting in favor of the Merger, a notice stating where and when a demand for payment should be sent and certificates for Shares deposited in order to obtain payment. The notice shall be accompanied by a copy of Subchapter D and a form for demanding payment. The time set for the receipt of demands and the deposit of certificates shall not be less than 30 days from the mailing of the notice. Failure by a shareholder to demand payment or deposit certificates pursuant to such notice will cause such shareholder to lose all right to have a court determine the fair value of his Shares. If the Merger has not been effected within 60 days after the date set for demanding payment and depositing certificates, the Company shall return any certificates that have been deposited. The Company, however, may at any later time send a new notice regarding demand for payment and deposit of certificates with like effect. Promptly after the consummation of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and that has properly delivered a written notice upon timely receipt of demand for appraisal of such Target Shares in accordance with the NGCL, payment if the NGCL provides for appraisal rights for such Target Merger has already been effected, the Company shall remit to dissenters who have made timely demand and deposited their certificates the amount the Company estimates to be the fair value of their Shares in the Merger (the “Dissenting Target Shares”), shall not or give written notice that no remittance will be converted into the right to receive Power3 Shares unless and until such Target Shareholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal and payment made under the NGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such Target Shareholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal, such Dissenting Target Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as Section 1577 of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Power3 Shares to which such Target Shareholder is entitled, without interest PBCL.

If the Company does not remit the amount of its estimate of the fair value of the Shares, it shall return all certificates that have been deposited and may make a notation thereon that a demand for payment has been made. If Shares with respect to which notation has been so made shall be transferred, each new certificate issued therefor shall bear a similar notation, together with the name of the original dissenting holder or owner of such Shares. A transferee of such Shares shall not acquire by such transfer any notice rights in the Company other than those that the original dissenter had after making demand for payment of fair value for such Shares. If a dissenting shareholder believes that the amount estimated or demands paid by the Company for appraisal his Shares is less than the fair value, the shareholder may send to the Company his own estimate of the fair value which shall be deemed a demand for payment of the amount of the deficiency. If the dissenter does not file his own estimate of fair value within 30 days after the mailing by the Company of its remittance or payment for Target Shares received estimate of fair value, the dissenter shall be entitled to no more than the amount remitted to him or estimated by the Company. Within 60 days after the latest of (i) the consummation of the Merger, and (ii) timely receipt of any demands for payment or (iii) timely receipt of any shareholder estimates of fair value, if any demands for payment remain unsettled, the opportunity to participate Company may file in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands or noticescourt an application for relief requesting that the fair value of the Shares be determined by the court.

The costs and expenses of any valuation proceedings, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of any appraiser appointed by the court, shall be determined by the court and assessed against the Company except that any part of such costs and expenses may be apportioned and assessed as the court deems appropriate against all or some of the dissenters whose action in demanding supplemental payment is found by the court to be dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary, vexatious or in respect thereof has been made bad faith. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for any or all of the dissenters against the Company if the Company fails to comply substantially with Subchapter D or acts in bad faith or in a dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary or vexatious manner. The court can also assess any such fees or expenses incurred by the Company against a dissenter if such dissenter is found to have acted in bad faith or in a dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary or vexatious manner. If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to the holder thereof pursuant other dissenters and should not be assessed against the Company, it may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the NGCLdissenters who were benefited.

Absent fraud or fundamental unfairness, such dissenters' rights are the exclusive remedy of such shareholders. However, the United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, interpreting the predecessor statute to Section 1.3.1105 of the PBCL in Xxxxxxxxxx v. NutriSystem, Inc., concluded that dissenters' rights coexist with common law causes of action, such as rescission or money damages, in the context of an action for breach of fiduciary duty or misrepresentation in a cash-out
