The Company shall not be permitted to amend or waive any trading restriction in any other Agreements with Other Investors in a manner that is less restrictive to the any Other Investor(s) unless, prior thereto, the Company has provided written notice of such amendment or waiver to the Investor and the Company has agreed to similarly and proportionally amend or waive the terms of this Section 17.
