The provisions of this Section 17 may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by (i) the Company and (ii) investors which purchased 67% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering and which are subject to the leak-out set forth in this Section 17 and the Prospectus (the “Required Investors”); provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall be effective as to any other Investor until it has received written notice thereof from the Company, which notice may be given pursuant to a generally disseminated press release, which shall be issued by the Company as soon as practicable, but in any event prior to the opening of trading on the next Trading Day.
18. Lock-Up. For a period of ninety (90) days from the date hereof, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Investors, directly or indirectly offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, other than Excluded Issuances as defined in the Warrants and any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes as defined in the Warrants.
