Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution

I'm getting an error Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution and I don't have the faintest idea why. Would anyone mind taking a quick look?

The syntax coloring didn't give it away?

 stop)
       echo -n "Stopping $NAME"
       kill -TERM `cat $PID_FILE

It's the backtick and the end of the kill line.
