(c) By either the Company or cDistro if any governmental entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable (which order, decree, ruling or other action the parties shall have used their commercially reasonable best efforts to resist, resolve or lift, as applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 5.7);

(d) By written notice of cDistro (if cDistro is not in material breach of its obligations or its representations and warranties under this Agreement), if there has been a breach by the Company or Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b); and (ii) cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided that cDistro shall have given the Company written notice, delivered at least twenty (20) days prior to such termination, stating cDistro’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) and the basis for such termination;

(e) By written notice of the Company (if the Company is not in material breach of its obligations or its representations and warranties under this Agreement), if there has been a breach by cDistro of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) and (ii) cannot be cured prior to the Outside Date; provided that the Company shall have given cDistro written notice, delivered at least twenty (20) days prior to such termination, stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) and the basis for such termination; or

(f) By written notice of either cDistro or the Company if (i) the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained, or (ii) the cDistro Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained.

In the event of termination of this Agreement by either cDistro or the Company as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of cDistro or the Company or their respective subsidiaries, officers or directors except (x) with respect to this Section 7.2 and Article VIII and (y) with respect to any liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by a party as a result of the willful and material breach by the other party of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the stockholders of cDistro and the Company; provided, that after any such approval, no amendment shall be made that by law requires further approval by the Company’s or cDistro’s stockholders, as the case may be, without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

Section 7.4 Waiver.
