(v) if, prior to the date on which the Restricted Shares vest, Soupman shall (A) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on the Common Stock in Common Stock, (B) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock shares into a smaller number of Common Stock shares, the number of shares constituting Restricted Shares shall be proportionately adjusted so that Lender after such date shall be entitled to acquire upon vesting the number of Restricted Shares which Lender would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the Restricted Shares had such Restricted Shares vested immediately prior to the record date for such corporate action;

(vi) until the Restricted Shares vest, Lender shall not be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Restricted Shares; and

(vii) the certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares shall be held in escrow by an escrow agent mutually agreeable to Lender and Soupman, and each of Lender and Soupman agrees to execute an escrow agreement (substantially in the form of Exhibit D, the “Escrow Agreement”) with an escrow agent providing for delivery of the Restricted Shares in accordance with the foregoing and for customary provisions indemnifying the escrow agent against liabilities for the performance of its duties thereunder.

Lender will cooperate with Soupman in providing such information as Soupman shall reasonably request in order to complete the information required by such registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees, if the registration statement pursuant to which the Registrable Securities are to be registered is a firm commitment underwritten offering, that if it is necessary or desirable, as determined by the opinion of the underwriter, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering may be reduced, then the aggregate number of shares of selling stockholders that will be included in the registration statement shall be allocated among all such selling stockholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of shares which the selling stockholders had initially requested to be included in such registration statement;

(ii) Soupman’s obligation to register the Registrable Securities shall expire upon the earlier to occur of: (A) Lender’s disposition of all of the Registrable Securities; or (B) the expiration of one year following the last vesting of the Restricted Shares if, at such date, the Registrable Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144 pursuant to the Act;
