Each Offer Notice shall include the applicable purchase price per security for such Additional Investment, the aggregate amount of the proposed Additional Investment and the other material terms and conditions of such Additional Investment, including the proposed closing date. The Offer Notice shall constitute the Company’s offer to issue such Additional Investment to the Purchaser substantially on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice, which offer shall be irrevocable for five (5) Business Days following the date the Offer Notice is received by the Purchaser (the “Participation Notice Period”). The Purchaser may elect to purchase up to all of the Additional Securities on the terms proposed; provided that to the extent the issuance of Additional Securities to the Purchaser would result in a Stockholder Approval Requirement, the Purchaser may elect to purchase up to an amount of Additional Securities that would not cause the Stockholder Approval Requirement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company is seeking stockholder approval for any Third Party in connection with the Additional Investment or for any other matter that may be needed to consummate the proposed issuance of Additional Securities, then the Company shall also seek stockholder approval in connection with the issuance of the Additional Securities to the Purchaser.
