Additionally, the Purchase Agreement contains a participation right, which provides that, subject to certain exceptions, at any time on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company complies with the notice procedures as outlined in the Purchase Agreement with respect to each Buyer, providing the opportunity for such Buyer to participate in such Subsequent Placement on a pro rata basis as described in the Purchase Agreement.
