PROXY STATEMENT/INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 15, 2022

NOTICE OF ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT AND INFORMATION STATEMENT
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

To the Stockholders of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc.:

This notice of action by written consent and the accompanying proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus are being furnished to holders of the Class A common stock, $0.0001 per share par value (“CSSE Class A Common Stock”), and Class B common stock, $0.0001 per share par value (“CSSE Class B Common Stock”), of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CSSE”).

On May 10, 2022, CSSE entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Redbox Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Redbox”), RB First Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub Inc.”), RB Second Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub LLC”), Redwood Opco Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Opco Merger Sub LLC”), and Redwood Intermediate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Opco LLC”).

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time (“Effective Time”), (a) Merger Sub Inc. will merge (the “First Company Merger”) with and into Redbox, with Redbox continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Corporation”); (b) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, Opco Merger Sub LLC will merge (the “Opco Merger”) with and into Opco LLC, with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving entity (“Opco Surviving Company”); and (c) immediately following the First Company Merger and Opco Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC (the “Second Company Merger” and, together with the First Company Merger, the “Integrated Mergers,” and the Integrated Mergers together with the Opco Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving entity.

The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Annex A to the proxy statement/information statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time: (a) each share of Class A common stock of Redbox, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Redbox Class A Common Stock”), will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive 0.087 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”); (b) each unit of Opco LLC (the “Opco LLC Units”) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and (c) each share of Class B common stock of Redbox, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Redbox Class B Common Stock”), will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.

At the Effective Time, the vested and unvested restricted stock units of Redbox (each “Redbox RSU Award”) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time held by each holder will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of vested and unvested Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Based on the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock, Opco LLC Units and Redbox RSU Awards outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/ information statement/prospectus, an aggregate of approximately 4,553,035 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock would be issued in exchange therefor (the “Merger Consideration”).

Immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will own approximately 76.5% and 23.5%, respectively, of the then outstanding CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined). The CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock are identical except that each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote and each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on each matter submitted to the CSSE Stockholders for a vote. Each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock is exchangeable for one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder. Accordingly, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will control approximately 94.8% and 5.2%, respectively, of the then total voting power represented by the CSSE capital stock (Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined).

At the Effective Time, the outstanding public warrants and private warrants of Redbox shall remain outstanding but become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrant based on the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, a holder will be required to surrender warrants to acquire 11.494 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock in order to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio.

The issuance by CSSE of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock comprising the Merger Consideration and the reservation for future issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of Redbox’s warrants is referred to herein as the “CSSE Stock Issuance.”

The board of directors of CSSE (the “CSSE Board”) has unanimously (a) declared that the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other Transactions are in the best interests of CSSE and its stockholders (the “CSSE Stockholders”), (b) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (c) directed that the CSSE Stock Issuance be submitted to the CSSE Stockholders for approval in accordance with and as required under Nasdaq rules, and (d) recommended that the CSSE Stockholders approve the CSSE Stock Issuance (the “CSSE Board Recommendation”).

On May 11, 2022 and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Chicken Soup for the Soul Productions, LLC, William J. Rouhana, Jr., and Trema, LLC (collectively, the “Principal CSSE Holders”) approved the CSSE Stock Issuance by delivery of a written consent (the “CSSP Written Consent”). As of May 11, 2022, the Principal CSSE Holders held the majority of the voting power represented by the outstanding CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined (collectively, the “CSSE Outstanding Voting Shares”)). Therefore, the delivery of the CSSP Written Consent satisfied the requirement in the Merger Agreement that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the CSSE Outstanding Voting Shares approve the CSSE Stock Issuance. No additional approval of the CSSE Stockholders is required to approve the CSSE Stock Issuance. No CSSE Stockholder approval is required for the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other Transactions. As a result, CSSE has not solicited and will not be soliciting your vote for the approval of the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other Transactions and does not intend to call a meeting of stockholders for purposes of voting on the adoption of the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other Transactions.

The completion of the Mergers is subject to approval by the stockholders of Redbox at a special meeting thereof to be held on [•], 2022. Redbox, AP VIII Aspen Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Aspen”), and Redwood Holdco, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Redwood LP”) (each of Aspen and Redwood LP are an “Aspen Stockholder”, and collectively, the “Aspen Stockholders”), and Seaport Global SPAC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seaport”, and collectively with the Aspen Stockholders, the “Redbox Majority Stockholders”) entered into a voting and support agreement on April 15, 2022 (“Redbox Voting Agreement”). Redbox has separately agreed with CSSE that it will not permit any amendment, waiver or modification to the Redbox Voting Agreement that would delay or impair obtaining the Requisite Redbox Vote (as defined below) without CSSE’s prior consent. The Redbox Majority Stockholders collectively hold an aggregate of 6,119,738 shares, or 48.5%, of Redbox Class A Common Stock, 32,770,000 shares, or 100% of Redbox Class B Common Stock, and 72.2% of the outstanding

Opco LLC Units as of the date hereof. The Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock votes as a single class, and accordingly, the Redbox Majority Stockholders own shares of Redbox Common Stock constituting the majority necessary to approve matters submitted to the stockholders of Redbox for a vote. Pursuant to the Redbox Voting Agreement, the Redbox Majority Holders have agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Redbox (i) in favor of any strategic transaction approved and recommended by the Redbox Board subject to certain terms and conditions, which would include the Integrated Mergers, (ii) in opposition to any transaction involving Redbox that has not been approved and recommended by the Redbox Board, and (iii) in favor of any directors that are proposed or nominated to the Redbox Board by Redbox at any annual meeting of Redbox.

This notice of action by written consent and the proxy statement/information statement/prospectus shall constitute notice to you from CSSE that the CSSE Stock Issuance has been approved by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the CSSE Outstanding Voting Shares pursuant to the CSSP Written Consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with the Merger Agreement and Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The proxy statement/information statement/prospectus accompanying this letter provides you with more specific information concerning the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated thereby. We encourage you to carefully read the proxy statement/​information statement/prospectus and the copy of the Merger Agreement.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED [•], 2022

MERGER PROPOSED — YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

To the Redbox Stockholders:

On behalf of the board of directors of Redbox Entertainment Inc. (“Redbox”), we are pleased to enclose the accompanying proxy statement/information statement/prospectus relating to the acquisition of Redbox by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”). We are requesting that you take certain actions as a Redbox Stockholder.

On May 10, 2022, Redbox entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with CSSE, RB First Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub Inc.”), RB Second Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub LLC”), Redwood Opco Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Opco Merger Sub LLC”), and Redwood Intermediate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Opco LLC”).

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement: at the Effective Time, (a) Merger Sub Inc. will merge (the “First Company Merger”) with and into Redbox, with Redbox continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Corporation”); (b) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, Opco Merger Sub LLC will merge (the “Opco Merger”) with and into Opco LLC, with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving entity; and (c) immediately following the First Company Merger and Opco Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC (the “Second Company Merger” and, together with the First Company Merger, the “Integrated Mergers,” and the Integrated Mergers together with the Opco Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving entity.

The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Annex A to the proxy statement/information statement/prospectus.

If the Mergers are completed, at the Effective Time: (a) each share of Class A common stock of Redbox, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Redbox Class A Common Stock”), will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive 0.087 shares of the Class A common stock of CSSE (this Exchange Ratio being referred to herein as the ”Exchange Ratio” and the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock being issued in the exchange, the “shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock”); (b) each unit of Opco LLC (the “Opco LLC Units”) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and (c) each share of Class B common stock of Redbox, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Redbox Class B Common Stock”), will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.

At the Effective Time, the vested and unvested restricted stock units of Redbox (each “Redbox RSU Award”) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time held by each holder will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of vested and unvested Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Based on the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units, and Redbox RSU Awards outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/ information statement/prospectus, an aggregate of approximately 4,553,035 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock will be issued in exchange therefor (the “Merger Consideration”).

Immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will own approximately 76.5% and 23.5%, respectively, of the then outstanding CSSE capital stock (Class A common stock, $0.0001 per share par value (“CSSE Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock, $0.0001 per share par value (“CSSE Class B Common Stock”) combined). The CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common

Stock are identical except that each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote and each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on each matter submitted to the CSSE Stockholders for a vote. Each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock is exchangeable for one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder. Accordingly, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will control approximately 94.8% and 5.2%, respectively, of the then total voting power represented by the CSSE capital Stock (i.e., the CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined).

At the Effective Time, the outstanding public warrants and private warrants of Redbox shall remain outstanding but become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrant based on the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, a holder would be required to surrender warrants to acquire 11.494 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock in order to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio.

Redbox will be holding a special meeting of stockholders in connection with the Mergers (the “Redbox Special Meeting”) to which this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus relates. At the Redbox Special Meeting, Redbox’s stockholders will be asked to vote on (i) a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement (the “Redbox Merger Proposal”) and (ii) a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the Redbox Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the view of the Redbox Board, to permit, among other things, further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate in the view of the Redbox Board, in favor of the Redbox Merger Proposal if there are not sufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve the Redbox Merger Proposal (the “Redbox Adjournment Proposal”). The approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock of Redbox (“Redbox Class A Common Stock”) and the Class B common stock of Redbox (“Redbox Class B Common Stock”, together with Redbox Class A Common Stock, “Redbox Common Stock”), voting as a single class (the “Requisite Redbox Vote”). The approval of the Redbox Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class, cast by the Redbox Stockholders at the Redbox Special Meeting, assuming a quorum is present at the Redbox Special Meeting. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Mergers. If the Redbox Merger Proposal is not approved, the Mergers will not be completed.

Redbox, AP VIII Aspen Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Aspen”), and Redwood Holdco, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Redwood LP”) (each of Aspen and Redwood LP are an “Aspen Stockholder”, and collectively, the “Aspen Stockholders”), and Seaport Global SPAC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seaport”, and collectively with the Aspen Stockholders, the “Redbox Majority Stockholders”) entered into a voting and support agreement on April 15, 2022 (“Redbox Voting Agreement”). The Redbox Majority Stockholders collectively hold an aggregate of 6,119,738 shares, or 48.5%, of Redbox Class A Common Stock, 32,770,000 shares, or 100% of Redbox Class B Common Stock, and 72.2% of the outstanding Opco LLC Units as of the date hereof. The Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock votes as a single class, and accordingly, the Redbox Majority Stockholders own shares of Redbox Common Stock constituting the majority necessary to form a quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting and to approve matters submitted to the stockholders of Redbox for a vote. Pursuant to the voting and support agreement, the Redbox Majority Holders have agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of Redbox (i) in favor of any strategic transaction approved and recommended by the Redbox Board subject to certain terms and conditions, which would include the Integrated Mergers, (ii) in opposition to any transaction involving Redbox that has not been approved and recommended by the Redbox Board and (iii) in favor of any directors that are proposed or nominated to the Redbox Board by Redbox at any annual meeting of Redbox. Redbox has separately agreed with CSSE that it will not permit any amendment, waiver or modification to the Redbox Voting Agreement that would delay or impair obtaining the Requisite Redbox Vote without CSSE’s prior consent.

The CSSE Class A Common Stock is quoted on Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CSSE,” and Redbox Class A Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq under the symbol “RDBX.” The market prices of both CSSE Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class A Common Stock will fluctuate before the Mergers, and you should obtain current stock price quotations for the CSSE Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class A Common Stock.

The issuance by CSSE of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock comprising the Merger Consideration and the reservation for future issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of Redbox’s warrants is referred to herein as the “CSSE Stock Issuance.”

On May 11, 2022 and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Chicken Soup for the Soul Productions, LLC, William J. Rouhana, Jr., and Trema, LLC (collectively, the “Principal CSSE Holders”) approved the CSSE Stock Issuance by delivery of a written consent (the “CSSP Written Consent”). As of May 11, 2022, the Principal CSSE Holders held the majority of the voting power of CSSE’s outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock (collectively, the “CSSE Outstanding Voting Shares”). Therefore, the delivery of the CSSP Written Consent satisfied the requirement in the Merger Agreement that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the CSSE Outstanding Voting Shares approve the CSSE Stock Issuance.

Redbox has fixed the close of business on [•], 2022 as the record date for determining holders of issued and outstanding Redbox Common Stock entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Redbox Special Meeting.

After careful consideration and evaluation of the Transactions in consultation with Redbox’s management and advisors, the Redbox Board has unanimously determined that (i) the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, are in the best interests of Redbox and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, and (iii) recommended that the Redbox Stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Integrated Mergers, at a duly held meeting of the Redbox Stockholders called for such purpose. The Redbox Board unanimously recommends that the Redbox Stockholders vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Redbox Adjournment Proposal.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Redbox Special Meeting, please submit a proxy to vote your shares as promptly as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Redbox Special Meeting. Please note that for purposes of the Redbox Merger Proposal, the failure to return your proxy card and other shares not voted (whether by broker non-vote or otherwise) will not be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Redbox Merger Proposal.

This document constitutes a prospectus relating to the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued to Redbox Class A stockholders and holders of Opco LLC Units, as well as a proxy statement for Redbox to solicit proxies for its meeting of stockholders. It contains answers to frequently asked questions and a summary of the important terms of the Mergers, the Merger Agreement and related transactions, followed by a more detailed discussion.

This proxy statement/information statement/prospectus contains important information about Redbox, CSSE, the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and the Redbox Special Meeting. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus carefully before voting, including “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20.

2.

A proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the Redbox Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Redbox Merger Proposal if there are insufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve such proposal (the “Redbox Adjournment Proposal”).

Redbox will transact no other business at the Redbox Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Please refer to the attached proxy statement/information statement/prospectus for further information with respect to the business to be transacted at the Redbox Special Meeting.

Holders of record of shares of Redbox common stock at the close of business on [•] are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Redbox Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Redbox Special Meeting.

The approval by the Redbox Stockholders of the Redbox Merger Proposal is a condition to the completion of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class A common stock of Redbox (“Redbox Class A Common Stock”) and the Class B common stock of Redbox (“Redbox Class B Common Stock”, together with Redbox Class A Common Stock, “Redbox Common Stock”), voting as a single class (the “Requisite Redbox Vote”). The Redbox Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Redbox Common Stock, voting as a single class, cast by Redbox Stockholders at the Redbox Special Meeting, assuming a quorum is present at the Redbox Special Meeting. In this regard, it should be noted that under the terms of the Redbox Voting Agreement, the Redbox Majority Holders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal. The Redbox Majority Holders own the majority of the outstanding Redbox Common Shares, and will constitute a quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting, and their vote will be sufficient to approve the Redbox Merger Proposal.

The Redbox Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Redbox Stockholders vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Redbox Adjournment Proposal. Please note that for purposes of the Redbox Merger Proposal, the failure to return your proxy card and other shares not voted (whether by broker non-vote or otherwise) will not be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Redbox Merger Proposal.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you expect to attend the Redbox Special Meeting, we urge you to authorize a proxy to vote your shares as promptly as possible by: (1) accessing the Internet at www.proxyvote.com; (2) calling the toll-free number specified on your proxy card; or (3) signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided so that your shares may be represented and voted at the Redbox Special Meeting. Properly executed proxy cards with no instructions indicated on the proxy card will be voted “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Redbox Adjournment Proposal. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, please follow the instructions on the voting instruction card furnished by the record holder.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Galen C. Smith
Chief Executive Officer

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETINGS

The following are some questions that you may have regarding the Mergers, the issuance of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders in connection with the Mergers, and other matters being considered at the Redbox Special Meeting and the answers to those questions. CSSE and Redbox urge you to carefully read the entirety of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, including the annexes hereto and the information incorporated by reference herein, because the information in this section does not provide all the information that might be important to you with respect to the Mergers, the issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock in connection with the Mergers, and the other matters being considered at the Redbox Special Meeting.

Q:

Why am I receiving this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus?

A:

You are receiving this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus because CSSE and Redbox have entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions included in the Merger Agreement, CSSE has agreed to acquire Redbox by means of (i) the merger of Merger Sub Inc. with and into Redbox, with Redbox surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CSSE, (ii) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, the merger of Opco Merger Sub LLC with and into Opco LLC, with Opco LLC surviving the merger as a direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CSSE, and (iii) immediately following the First Company Merger and the Opco Merger, the merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CSSE. The Merger Agreement, which governs the terms of the Mergers, is attached to this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus as Annex A.

In order to complete the Mergers, CSSE Stockholders were required to approve the issuance of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock in the Mergers and other shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance in connection with the Mergers (e.g. those issuable upon exercise of Redbox’s outstanding private and public warrants), in each case pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “stock issuance” and such proposal, the “CSSE Stock Issuance proposal”). The approval of the stock issuance required the consent of holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the CSSE Stock Issuance Proposal by the holders of shares of CSSE Common Stock, voting as a single class. This approval was obtained through the execution and delivery by the CSSE Principal Holders of the CSSP Written Consent on May 11, 2022. For CSSE Stockholders, this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus contains important information about the CSSE Stock Issuance approval, the Mergers, the other Transactions in relation thereto, and the other actions taken in connection with the CSSP Written Consent. CSSE is not asking you for a proxy and you are not requested to send CSSE a proxy.

Also, in order to complete the Mergers, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Redbox Stockholders must approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Integrated Mergers) (the “Redbox Merger Proposal”). The approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class.

This proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, which you should read carefully, contains important information about the Mergers, the stock issuance and other matters being considered at the Redbox Special Meeting.

Q:

When and where is the Redbox Special Meeting?

A:

The Redbox Special Meeting will be held at [•] a virtual only meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RDBX2022SM starting at [•] a.m. Central Time (with log-in beginning at [•] a.m. Central Time) on [•], 2022. You will be able to attend the Redbox Special Meeting online and vote your shares electronically during the meeting by going to www.proxyvote.com and entering the 16-digit control number included on the proxy card or voting instruction form that you received. Because the Redbox Special Meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via live webcast, stockholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person.

ii

Q:

If I am a Redbox Class A stockholder or an Opco LLC Unitholder, how will I receive the Merger Consideration to which I am entitled?

A:

If you are a holder of book-entry shares representing eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock (“Redbox Class A book-entry shares”), the exchange agent will send you, as promptly as practicable (and in any event, within three business days) after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration that you have the right to receive.

No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable for shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock or Opco LLC Units eligible to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

For additional information on the exchange of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units for the Merger Consideration (and on the corresponding cancellation of Redbox Class B Common Stock for no additional consideration), please see “The Merger Agreement — Exchange and Payment Procedures.”

Q:

What will holders of Redbox equity awards receive in the Mergers?

A:

At the Effective Time the vested and unvested restricted stock units of Redbox (each “Redbox RSU Award”) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time held by each holder will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of vested and unvested Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time. The shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issued in exchange for the Redbox RSU Awards comprise part of the Merger Consideration. See “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Redbox Equity-Based Awards.”

Q:

What happens to Redbox’s outstanding warrants?

A:

At the Effective Time the outstanding public warrants and private warrants of Redbox shall remain outstanding but become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrant based on the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, a holder would be required to surrender warrants to acquire 11.494 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock in order to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of Company Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio. It is anticipated that the Redbox public warrants will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under the current symbol or a new symbol to be publicly announced following the consummation of the Mergers. See “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Redbox Warrants.”

Q:

Who will own CSSE immediately following the Mergers?

A:

CSSE and Redbox estimate that, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, the persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will own approximately 76.5% and 23.5%, respectively, of the then outstanding CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined). The CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock are identical except that each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote and each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on each matter submitted to the CSSE Stockholders for a vote. Each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock is exchangeable for one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder. Accordingly, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will control approximately 94.8% and 5.2%, respectively, of the then total voting power represented by the CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined).

iii

Q:

What will be the composition of the board of directors and management of CSSE following the completion of the Mergers?

A:

Upon completion of the Mergers, the current directors and executive officers of CSSE are expected to continue in their current positions, other than for changes as may be publicly announced by CSSE in the future in the normal course. See “The Mergers — Board of Directors and Management of CSSE Following Completion of the Mergers.”

Q:

How important is my vote?

A:

Your vote “FOR” the merger proposals to be presented at the Redbox Special Meeting is very important and you are encouraged to submit a proxy as soon as possible. The Mergers cannot be completed without, among other things, the approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal by Redbox Stockholders.

The approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a Redbox Stockholder’s abstention from voting, a broker non-vote, or the failure of a Redbox Stockholder to attend the Redbox Special Meeting, virtually or by proxy, and vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Redbox Merger Proposal.

Q:

How does the Redbox Board recommend that I vote?

A:

The Redbox Board unanimously recommends that Redbox Stockholders vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal. For additional information regarding how the Redbox Board recommends that Redbox Stockholders vote, see the section titled “The Mergers — Recommendation of the Redbox Board and Reasons for the Mergers.”

Q:

Will the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock that I acquire in connection with the Mergers receive a dividend?

A:

After the closing of the Mergers, as a holder of CSSE Class A Common Stock, you will receive the same dividends on shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock, if and when declared, that all other holders of CSSE Class A Common Stock will receive for any dividend with a record date that occurs after the Effective Time. CSSE has not paid a regular dividend on the CSSE Class A Common Stock historically and has no present intention of instituting a regular dividend.

Q:

Will the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock received at the time of completion of the Mergers be traded on an exchange?

A:

Yes. It is a condition to the consummation of the Mergers that the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable to Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders in connection with the Mergers be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, upon official notice of issuance. Redbox Class A Common Stock currently trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the stock symbol “RDBX”. When the Mergers are completed, the Redbox Class A Common Stock will cease to be traded on Nasdaq and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act. The private and public warrants of Redbox will be listed on Nasdaq at Closing.

Q:

How will CSSE Stockholders be affected by the Mergers?

A:

Upon completion of the Mergers, each CSSE Stockholder will hold the same number of shares of CSSE Common Stock that such stockholder held immediately prior to completion of the Mergers. As a result of the Mergers, CSSE Stockholders will own shares in a larger company with more assets. However, because CSSE will be issuing additional shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders in exchange for their eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and eligible Opco LLC Units, respectively, in connection with the Mergers, each share of CSSE Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Mergers will represent a smaller percentage of the aggregate number of shares of CSSE Common Stock issued and outstanding after the Mergers.

iv

Q:

What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers to Redbox Class A stockholders?

A:

Assuming that the Integrated Mergers are completed as currently contemplated, CSSE and Redbox intend for the Integrated Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Provided that the Integrated Mergers so qualify, a U.S. holder (as defined in “The Mergers — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers”) of Redbox Class A Common Stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of Redbox Class A Common Stock for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock.

Please see “The Mergers — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers to U.S. holders of Redbox Class A Common Stock. Each Redbox Class A stockholder is urged to consult with a tax advisor to determine the particular U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers to it.

Q:

When do CSSE and Redbox expect to complete the Mergers?

A:

CSSE and Redbox currently expect to complete the Mergers in the third quarter of 2022. However, neither CSSE nor Redbox can predict the actual date on which the Mergers will be completed, nor can the parties ensure that the Mergers will be completed, because completion is subject to conditions beyond the control of either company. Please see “The Mergers — Regulatory Approvals” and “The Merger Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Mergers.”

Q:

What happens if the Mergers are not completed?

A:

If the Redbox Merger Proposal is not approved by the Redbox Stockholders or the Mergers are not completed for any other reason, Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders will not receive any payment for shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock or Opco LLC Units they own. Instead, Redbox will remain an independent public company, Redbox Class A Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Global Market and registered under the Exchange Act and Redbox will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC.

Under specified circumstances, Redbox may be required to pay a termination fee upon or subsequent to termination of the Merger Agreement, as described in “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fees.”

An event of default under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement will occur if (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated (and Redbox does not enter into an acceptable replacement agreement) or (ii) if the Mergers are not completed by October 31, 2022. The occurrence of such event of default could result in the outstanding indebtedness under such agreement becoming due and payable, and would allow HPS to exercise secured creditor remedies against Redbox in order to satisfy Redbox’s obligations under such agreement.

Q:

Who can vote at, and what are the record dates of, the Redbox Special Meeting?

A:

All Redbox Stockholders who hold shares of Redbox Common Stock of record at the close of business on [•], 2022, the record date for the Redbox Special Meeting (the “Redbox record date”), are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Redbox Special Meeting.

Q:

How many votes may I cast?

A:

Each issued and outstanding share of Redbox Class A Common Stock and each issued and outstanding share of Redbox Class B Common Stock entitles its holder of record to one vote on each matter to be considered at the Redbox Special Meeting, and the Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class. The Redbox Stockholders of record on the Redbox record date are the only Redbox Stockholders that are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Redbox Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

v

Q:

What constitutes a quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting?

A:

In order for business to be conducted at the Redbox Special Meetings, a quorum must be present.

A quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting requires the presence of the holders of a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of Redbox Common Stock entitled to vote, present virtually or represented by proxy, at the Redbox Special Meeting. A Redbox Stockholder will be considered present at the virtual meeting by logging into the Redbox Special Meeting website using his, her or its unique 16-digit control number or by appointing a proxy. If you submit a properly executed proxy card, or submit a proxy via the internet or by telephone, even if you do not vote for the proposal or vote to “abstain” in respect of the proposal, your shares of Redbox Common Stock will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the Redbox Special Meeting. Because it is expected that all of the matters to be voted on at the Redbox Special Meeting will be non-routine under Nasdaq rules, brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote on any such proposal; therefore, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your shares will not count towards determining whether a quorum is present and your shares will not be voted on the Redbox Merger Proposal. In this regard, it should be noted that under the terms of the Redbox Voting Agreement, the Redbox Majority Holders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal. The Redbox Majority Holders own the majority of the outstanding Redbox Common Shares, and will constitute a quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting, and their vote will be sufficient to approve the Redbox Merger Proposal.

Q:

If you submit your proxy via the internet, by telephone, or by completing, signing, dating, and returning the applicable proxy card or voting instruction form, your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign your proxy card and return it without indicating how you would like to vote your shares, your proxy card will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Redbox Board.

For additional information on voting procedures, please see “Redbox Special Meeting.”

The votes at the Redbox Special Meeting will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed by the Redbox Board.

A:

Stockholders attending the virtual meeting will be in a listen-only mode and will not be able to speak during the webcast. However, stockholders will be able to submit any questions by the close of business on [•], 2022 in advance of the Redbox Special Meeting by visiting www.proxyvote.com.

Q:

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials for the Redbox Special Meeting?

A:

You may receive more than one set of voting materials for he Redbox Special Meeting, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction forms. For example, if you hold your shares of Redbox Common Stock in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction form for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please submit each separate proxy or voting instruction form that you receive by following the instructions set forth in each separate proxy or voting instruction form. If you fail to submit each separate proxy or voting instruction form that you receive, not all of your shares will be voted.

Q:

What is the difference between holding shares of record and holding shares as a beneficial owner of shares of Redbox Common Stock?

A:

If your shares of Redbox Common Stock are registered directly in your name with Redbox’s registrar and transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, to be the stockholder of record. If you are a stockholder of record, then this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus and your proxy card have been sent directly to you by Redbox.

If your shares of Redbox Common Stock are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the beneficial owner, and those shares are held in “street name” by your bank, broker or other nominee. In that case, this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus has been forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting, and you are also invited to attend the Redbox Special Meeting, as applicable. The proxy materials you received include the 16-digit control number that you will need to vote online during the Redbox Special Meeting.

Q:

If my shares of Redbox Common Stock are held in “street name” by my bank, broker or other nominee, will my bank, broker or other nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:

No. If your shares of Redbox Common Stock are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you will receive separate instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. The availability of internet or telephonic voting will depend on the nominee’s voting process. Please check with your bank, broker or other nominee and follow the voting procedures provided by your bank, broker or other nominee on your voting instruction form.

You should instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares of Redbox Common Stock, as applicable. Under the rules applicable to broker-dealers, your bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Redbox Special Meeting. A so-called “broker non-vote” results when banks, brokers and other nominees return a valid proxy but do not vote on a particular proposal because they do not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and have not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares. Redbox does not expect any broker non-votes at the Redbox Special Meeting because the rules applicable to banks, brokers and other nominees only provide brokers with discretionary authority to vote on proposals that are considered routine, whereas each of the proposals to be presented at the Redbox Special Meeting are considered non-routine under Nasdaq rules. As a result, no broker will be permitted to vote your shares of Redbox Common Stock at the Redbox Special Meeting without receiving instructions. Failure to instruct your broker on how to vote your shares will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Redbox Merger Proposal and will have no effect on the Redbox Adjournment Proposal for Redbox Stockholders.

For additional information on voting procedures, please see “Redbox Special Meeting.”

vii

Q:

What do I do if I am a Redbox Stockholder and I want to revoke my proxy?

A:

Redbox Stockholders of record may revoke or change a previously delivered proxy at any time before the meeting by (i) delivering another proxy with a later date to Redbox’s corporate secretary at Redbox’s principal executive offices at 1 Tower Lane, Suite 800, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, 60181 no later than 11:59 p.m. Central Time on [•], 2022, (ii) voting by proxy again via the internet or by telephone, or (iii) delivering written notice of revocation of the proxy to Redbox’s corporate secretary at Redbox’s principal executive offices before the beginning of the Redbox Special Meeting no later than 11:59 p.m. Central Time on [•], 2022.

All Redbox Stockholders may also revoke their proxies by attending the Redbox Special Meeting virtually, using his, her or its unique 16-digit control number and voting their shares online during the meeting. Note that attendance at the virtual Redbox Special Meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke a valid proxy that was previously delivered unless you give written notice of revocation to the Redbox corporate secretary before the proxy is exercised or unless you vote your shares online during the Redbox Special Meeting.

If a Redbox Stockholder holds shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, such stockholder may change or revoke his, her or its voting instructions before the Redbox Special Meeting by providing instructions again through the means specified on his, her or its voting instruction form (with most having the option to do so by internet, telephone or mail), which must be received before 11:59 p.m. Central Time on [•], 2022.

For additional information, please see “Redbox Special Meeting.”

Q:

Are there any risks that I should consider as a Redbox Stockholder in deciding how to vote?

A:

Yes. You should read and carefully consider the risks set forth in “Risk Factors.” You also should read and carefully consider the risk factors of CSSE and Redbox contained in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus.

Q:

What happens if I sell or otherwise transfer my shares of Redbox Common Stock before the Redbox Special Meeting?

A:

The Redbox record date is prior to the date of the Redbox Special Meeting. If you sell or otherwise transfer your shares of Redbox Common Stock after the Redbox record date but before the Redbox Special Meeting, unless special arrangements (such as provision of a proxy) are made between you and the person to whom you transfer your shares of Redbox Common Stock, you will retain your right to vote such shares at the Redbox Special Meeting but will otherwise transfer ownership of and the economic interest in your shares of Redbox Common Stock.

Q:

What happens if I sell or otherwise transfer my shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock or Opco LLC Units before the completion of the Mergers?

A:

Only Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will become entitled to receive the Merger Consideration. If you sell your shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock or Opco LLC Units prior to the completion of the Mergers, you will not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration by virtue of the Mergers.

Q:

Do any of the officers or directors of Redbox have interests in the Mergers that may differ from or be in addition to my interests as a Redbox Stockholder?

A:

Yes. In considering the recommendation of the Redbox Board that Redbox Stockholders vote to approve the Redbox Merger Proposal and the Redbox Adjournment Proposal, Redbox Stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders of Redbox, some of Redbox’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Redbox Stockholders generally. The Redbox Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, in approving the Mergers, and in recommending the approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal and the Redbox Adjournment Proposal.

viii

For more information on these interests and quantification of certain of these interests, please see “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers.”

Q:

If I am a CSSE Stockholder and I oppose the CSSE Stock Issuance or if I am a Redbox Stockholder and I oppose the Redbox Merger Proposal, but all such proposals are approved, what are my rights?

A:

Under Delaware law, CSSE Stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the approval of the CSSE Stock Issuance pursuant to the CSSP Written Consent or the resulting issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Because shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and holders of eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock are not required to receive consideration other than shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock, which are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, in the Mergers, Redbox Class A stockholders are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Mergers. Holders of Redbox Class B Common Stock may be entitled to exercise dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware law because shares of Redbox Class B Common Stock will be cancelled in connection with the Mergers with no consideration. However, holders of all of the Redbox Class B Common Stock and Opco LLC Unit have waived the right to exercise appraisal and dissenter rights in connection with the Mergers.

For more information regarding appraisal rights, please see “The Mergers — Appraisal Rights or Dissenters’ Rights”.

Q:

Where can I find voting results of the Redbox Special Meeting?

A:

CSSE and Redbox intend to announce the results of the Redbox Special Meetings and disclose the final voting results in Current Reports on Form 8-K that will be filed with the SEC following the Redbox Special Meetings. All reports that CSSE and Redbox file with the SEC are publicly available when filed. Please see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Q:

How can I find more information about CSSE and Redbox?

A:

Q:

Who can answer any questions I may have about the Redbox Special Meeting or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers and the CSSE Stock Issuance?

CSSE Stock Issuance

On May 11, 2022 and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Principal CSSE Holders approved the CSSE Stock Issuance by delivery of the CSSP Written Consent. Since the CSSE Stock Issuance will result

2

in the issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock constituting 20% or more of the outstanding CSSE Class A Common Stock, Nasdaq rules require such issuance to be approved by the holders of the majority of outstanding CSSE Common Stock. The CSSP Written Consent constitutes such approval. As of May 11, 2022, the Principal CSSE Holders held the majority of the voting power of the outstanding CSSE Common Stock, with each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock having one vote and each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock having ten votes. Therefore, the delivery of the CSSP Written Consent satisfied the requirement in the Merger Agreement that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the CSSE Common Stock approve the CSSE Stock Issuance. No additional approval of the stockholders of CSSE is required to approve the CSSE Stock Issuance, Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other Transactions. As a result, CSSE has not solicited and will not be soliciting your vote for the approval of the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other Transactions and does not intend to call a meeting of stockholders for purposes of voting on the adoption of the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other Transactions. A copy of the CSSP Written Consent is attached to this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus as Annex B. For information on the recommendation of the CSSE Board, please see “The Mergers — Recommendation of the CSSE Board and Reasons for the Mergers.”

Redbox Special Meeting (See page 38)

The Redbox Special Meeting will be held via a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast starting at [•] a.m. Central Time (with log-in beginning at [•] a.m. Central Time) on [•], 2022. Redbox Stockholders will be able to attend the Redbox Special Meeting online and vote shares electronically at the meeting by going to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RDBX2022SM and entering the 16-digit control number included on the proxy card or voting instruction form you received. Because the Redbox Special Meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via live webcast, stockholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person. The Redbox Special Meeting is being held to consider and vote on the following proposal:

•

Redbox Merger Proposal: To approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Integrated Mergers), pursuant to which, among other things, upon consummation of the Mergers (i) each eligible share of Redbox Class A Common Stock will be converted automatically into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, (ii) each eligible Opco LLC Unit will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, and (iii) each share of Redbox Class B Common Stock will automatically be cancelled for no additional consideration therefor.

The record date for the determination of the Redbox Stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Redbox Special Meeting is the close of business on [•], 2022. Only Redbox Stockholders who held Redbox Common Stock of record on the Redbox record date are entitled to vote at the Redbox Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the Redbox Special Meeting. Each issued and outstanding share of Redbox Common Stock entitles its holder of record to one vote on each matter to be considered at the Redbox Special Meeting. Redbox Stockholders are entitled to vote on each proposal presented.

In order for business to be conducted at the Redbox Special Meeting, a quorum must be present. A quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting requires the presence of the holders of a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of Redbox Common Stock entitled to vote, present virtually or represented by proxy, at the Redbox Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting. Shares represented by broker non-votes will not be considered present and entitled to vote at the Redbox Special Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because it is expected that all of the matters to be voted on at the Redbox Special Meeting will be non-routine under Nasdaq rules, brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote on any such proposal; therefore, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your shares will not count towards determining whether a quorum is present and your shares will not be voted at the Redbox Special Meeting. If a quorum is not present or represented or if there are not sufficient

3

votes for the approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal, Redbox expects that the Redbox Special Meeting will be adjourned by the chairman of the Redbox Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies. At any subsequent reconvening of the Redbox Special Meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the manner in which such proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Redbox Special Meeting, except for any proxies that have been validly revoked or withdrawn prior to the subsequent meeting.

The approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a Redbox Stockholder’s abstention from voting, a broker non-vote or the failure of a Redbox Stockholder to attend the Redbox Special Meeting, virtually or by proxy, and vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Redbox Merger Proposal.

As of [•] 2022, there were [•] shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and [•] shares of Redbox Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding, held by [•] and [•] holders of record, respectively. Each issued and outstanding share of Redbox Common Stock as of the record date entitles its holder of record to one vote on each matter to be considered at the Redbox Special Meeting. Redbox Stockholders are entitled to vote on each proposal presented. In this regard, it should be noted that under the terms of the Redbox Voting Agreement, the Redbox Majority Holders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal. The Redbox Majority Holders own the majority of the outstanding Redbox Common Shares, and will constitute a quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting, and their vote will be sufficient to approve the Redbox Merger Proposal.

The Redbox Board unanimously recommends that the Redbox Stockholders vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal.

For additional information on the recommendation of the Redbox Board, please see “The Mergers — Recommendation of the Redbox Board and Reasons for the Mergers.”

Under that certain credit agreement, dated as of October 20, 2017 (as amended through the Sixth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement, dated April 15, 2022 (the “Sixth Amendment”), the “Redbox Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among Opco LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto, $50.0 million in Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans (as defined in the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement) was made available to Redbox’s subsidiary, Redbox Automated Retail, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Redbox Automated”), subject to certain conditions. At entry into the Sixth Amendment, borrowings of Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans were limited to no more than $15.0 million in the aggregate.

Entry into the Merger Agreement permitted Redbox Automated to draw additional Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans (subject to any restrictions on incurring such debt as set forth in the Merger Agreement). An event of default under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement will occur if (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated (and is not replaced by another Acceptable Purchase Agreement (as defined in

5

the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement)) or (ii) the consummation of the Mergers does not occur on or before October 31, 2022 (or such later date as HPS may agree).

CSSE’s obligation to consummate the Mergers is subject to HPS and its affiliates executing and delivering a definitive credit agreement that amends or refinances the obligations under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement and provides for certain other financing. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CSSE and HPS executed a commitment letter pursuant to which, at the Effective Time, CSSE would obtain from HPS and its affiliates (i) a term loan facility consisting of the conversion, and assumption by CSSE, of all “Senior Obligations” under (and as defined in) the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement (other than any outstanding Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement) and (ii) an $80 million revolving credit facility (with any outstanding the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement being deemed, and assumed by CSSE as, revolving loans thereunder). In the proposed New Credit Agreement with HPS, the Redbox Legacy Business is defined as the “Redbox Traditional Business” and includes Redbox’s kiosk rental business and service business. Further, at closing date of such facility, HPS will receive warrants issued by CSSE exercisable for the number of shares of CSSE Class A common stock representing 4.50% of the total voting and economic equity interests of CSSE for an exercise price of $.0001 per share, which warrants may be exercised from and after the closing date of such facility for a period of five (5) years. A copy of the proposed form of credit agreement between CSSE and HPS is attached hereto as Annex F (the “New Credit Agreement”) and is incorporated by reference.

Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers (See page 96)

In considering the recommendation of the Redbox Board that Redbox Stockholders vote to approve the Redbox Merger Proposal and the Redbox Adjournment Proposal, Redbox Stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders of Redbox, Redbox’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Redbox Stockholders generally. These interests are described in more detail in the section titled “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers” beginning on page 96. The Redbox Board was aware of and considered these potential interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, in approving the Mergers and in recommending the approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal and the Redbox Adjournment Proposal. See “The Mergers — Background of the Mergers” and “The Mergers — Recommendation of the Redbox Board and Reasons for the Mergers.” Redbox Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal. These interests are described in more detail below, and certain of them are quantified in the narrative and the tables below.

Board of Directors and Management of CSSE Following Completion of the Mergers (See page 101)

Upon completion of the Mergers, the current directors and executive officers of CSSE are expected to continue in their current positions, other than for changes CSSE may publicly announce in the future in the normal course. See “The Mergers — Board of Directors and Management of CSSE Following Completion of the Mergers.”

Appraisal Rights or Dissenters’ Rights (See page 105)

Under Delaware law, CSSE Stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the approval of the CSSE Stock Issuance pursuant to the CSSP Written Consent or the resulting issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Because shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and holders of eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock are not required to receive consideration other than shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock, which are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, in the Mergers, Redbox Class A stockholders are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Mergers.

Holders of Redbox Class B Common Stock may be entitled to exercise dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware law because shares of Redbox Class B Common Stock will be cancelled in connection with

6

the Mergers with no consideration. However, holders of all of the Redbox Class B Common Stock and Opco LLC Unit have waived the right to exercise appraisal and dissenter rights in connection with the Mergers.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers (See page 101)

Assuming that the Integrated Mergers are completed as currently contemplated, CSSE and Redbox intend for the Integrated Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Provided that the Integrated Mergers so qualify, a U.S. holder (as defined in “The Mergers — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers”) of Redbox Class A Common Stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of Redbox Class A Common Stock for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Integrated Mergers.

Please see “The Mergers — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers to U.S. holders of Redbox Class A Common Stock. Each Redbox Class A stockholder is urged to consult with a tax advisor to determine the particular U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the Mergers to it.

Accounting Treatment of the Mergers (See page 104)

CSSE prepares its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Mergers will be accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method of accounting with CSSE being considered the acquirer of Redbox for accounting purposes. This means that CSSE will record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Redbox at their acquisition date fair values at the closing date of the Mergers.

Regulatory Approvals (See page 104)

Antitrust Clearance

The completion of the Mergers may be subject to antitrust review in the United States. Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder, if certain HSR transaction size thresholds are triggered, the Mergers cannot be completed until the parties to the Merger Agreement have given notification and furnished information to the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), and until the applicable waiting period has expired or has been terminated.

At any time before or after consummation of the Mergers, notwithstanding any prior expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, the FTC, the DOJ or any state could take such action under antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Mergers or seeking the divestiture of substantial assets of CSSE or Redbox or their respective subsidiaries. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

Securities and Exchange Commission

In connection with the CSSE Stock Issuance, CSSE has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC under the Securities Act, of which this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus forms a part, pursuant to which the issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable upon the Effective Time will be registered with the SEC.

Nasdaq

In addition, the completion of the Mergers is subject to approval for listing of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration and the other shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance in connection with the Mergers on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance.

7

Treatment of Redbox Equity-Based Awards (See page 107)

At the Effective Time, the vested and unvested restricted stock units of Redbox (each “Redbox RSU Award”) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time held by each holder will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time. See “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Redbox Equity-Based Awards.”

Treatment of Redbox Warrants (see page 107)

At the Effective Time, the outstanding public warrants (Nasdaq Symbol: RDBXW) and private warrants of Redbox will remain outstanding but become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrant based on the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, a holder would be required to surrender warrants to acquire 11.494 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock in order to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of Company Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio. See “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Redbox Warrants.”

Listing of Shares CSSE Class A Common Stock; Delisting and Deregistration of Redbox Class A Common Stock (See page105)

It is a condition to the consummation of the Mergers that the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable to Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders in connection with the Mergers and the other shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Redbox’s public and private warrants be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance.

Shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock currently trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the stock symbol “RDBX.” When the Mergers are completed, the Redbox Class A Common Stock will cease to exist and will no longer be traded on Nasdaq and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

It is anticipated that the Redbox public warrants will continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “RDBXW” or will be listed under a new symbol to be publicly announced.

No Solicitation; Recommendations (See page 114)

Subject to certain exceptions, the Merger Agreement limits Redbox’s ability to solicit, knowingly encourage or facilitate or discuss or negotiate with any person, or furnish any nonpublic information or data to any person, with respect to a Takeover Proposal (as defined herein). For a more detailed discussion on Redbox and the ability of its board of directors to consider other proposals, please see “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation; Recommendations.”

Termination of the Merger Agreement (See page 120)

CSSE and Redbox may mutually agree in writing to terminate the Merger Agreement before consummating the Mergers, notwithstanding the existing approval of the CSSE Stock Issuance by the Principal CSSE Holders or any approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal by the Redbox Stockholders.

In addition, either CSSE or Redbox may terminate the Merger Agreement if:

•

the Mergers have not been consummated on or before October 31, 2022 (the “End Date”); provided that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement as described in this bullet shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill in any material respect any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement has been the proximate cause of, or proximately resulted in, the failure of the Mergers to be consummated by the End Date; and provided further that the End Date may be extended further initially to January 31, 2023 and thereafter to April 30, 2023 if certain conditions outside the control of the parties have not been satisfied;

•

any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity shall have issued any judgment, order, injunction, rule or decree, or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and such judgment, order, injunction, rule, decree or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement as described in this bullet shall have used its reasonable best efforts to contest, appeal and remove such judgment, order, injunction, rule, decree, ruling or other action in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement;

•

the approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal by the Redbox Stockholders shall not have been obtained at the Redbox Special Meeting duly convened for such purpose or at any adjournment or postponement thereof at which a vote on the Redbox Merger Proposal was taken; or

•

the other party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the Merger Agreement such that the conditions to closing the Mergers would not be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured by the End Date or has not been cured by the earlier of the End Date and 30 days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party of such breach or failure (a “terminable breach”); provided, that the terminating party is not then in terminable breach of any covenant or agreement contained in the Merger Agreement.

In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under the following circumstances:

•

by CSSE, if (i) the Redbox Board has effected a Redbox adverse recommendation change, (ii) Redbox has approved or adopted any definitive agreement for a Takeover Proposal; or (iii) Redbox has breached the “no solicitation” and related covenants of the Merger Agreement in any material respect, in which case CSSE shall be entitled to payment of the Redbox Termination Fee as defined herein and described below in the section titled “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee;” or

•

by Redbox, prior to, but not after, the time the Redbox Stockholders approve the Redbox Merger Proposal, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (as defined below in the section titled “The Merger Agreement — No Solicitation; Recommendation”); provided that Redbox shall have contemporaneously with such termination tendered payment to CSSE of the Redbox Termination Fee as defined herein and described below in the section titled “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee”.

Termination Fee (See page 122)

The Merger Agreement requires Redbox to pay CSSE a termination fee of $15,000,000 (“Redbox Termination Fee”) if:

•

CSSE terminates the Merger Agreement because a Redbox Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred or Redbox shall have approved or adopted, or recommended the approval or adoption of, any Acquisition Agreement;

•

Redbox terminates the Merger Agreement because prior to the receipt of the Requisite Redbox Vote at the Redbox Stockholders Meeting, the Redbox Board authorizes Redbox to enter into an Acquisition Agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal;

10

•

either CSSE or Redbox terminates the Merger Agreement because (i) the Mergers have not been consummated on or before the End Date or (ii) the Merger Agreement has been submitted to the Redbox Stockholders for adoption at a duly convened Redbox Stockholders Meeting and the Requisite Redbox Vote shall not have been obtained at such meeting (and in each case a Takeover Proposal has been made, communicated or publicly disclosed prior to such termination; provided that, for all purposes of this bullet point, each reference in the definition of “Takeover Proposal” to “20% or more” shall be “more than 50%”) and within 12 months following the date of such termination of the Merger Agreement (A) Redbox shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal, and such Takeover Proposal is subsequently consummated or (B) a Takeover Proposal shall have been consummated.

In no event shall Redbox be required to pay the termination fee on more than one occasion.

Specific Performance (See page 122)

In addition to any other remedy that may be available to each party prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement, each of the parties will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the Merger Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement.

Closing and Effective Time of the Mergers (See page 107)

Unless the parties agree otherwise, the closing of the Mergers will take place on a date that is three business days following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions to closing (other than any such conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of such conditions).

As soon as practicable on the closing date, a certificate of merger with respect to the First Company Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and, concurrently therewith, a certificate of merger with respect to the Opco Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The First Company Merger and the Opco Merger will each become effective at the same time on the closing date as the parties agree in writing and specify in the applicable certificate of merger. In addition, on the closing date, a certificate of merger with respect to the Second Company Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Second Company Merger will become effective one minute after the Effective Time, as will be specified in the certificate of merger.

CSSE and Redbox have targeted to complete the Mergers in the third quarter of 2022, subject to receipt of the Redbox Stockholder approval, any required regulatory approvals. and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the Mergers (Please see “The Merger Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Mergers”).

Comparison of Equityholder Rights (See page 145)

Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders receiving CSSE Class A Common Stock in connection with the Mergers will have different rights once they become stockholders of CSSE due to differences between the governing documents of CSSE and Redbox. These differences are described in more detail in “Comparison of Equityholder Rights.”

11

waives, releases, remises and forever discharges the Corporate Taxpayer (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement), its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors, officers and employees from any obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, including as a result of past, present or future actions or events.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations based upon the combined historical financial statements of CSSE and Redbox, after giving effect to the consummation of the Mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The Mergers will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires determination of the accounting acquirer. The accounting guidance provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected through an exchange of equity interests, all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered, including; the relative voting rights of the stockholders of the constituent companies in the combined company, the existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner or organized group of owners has a significant voting interest, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity securities in the business combination, including payment of any premium.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of March 31, 2022 gives effect to the Mergers as if they occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021, gives effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to CSSE’s acquisition of certain assets of Sonar Entertainment, Inc. (“Sonar”) on May 21, 2021, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflecting the transaction have been prepared in accordance with business combination accounting guidance as provided in FASB ASC Topic 805 and reflect the preliminary allocation of the estimated merger consideration to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. CSSE’s historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger transaction, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger transaction had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of the combined company. In connection with the pro forma condensed combined financial information, CSSE allocated the estimated purchase price using its best estimates of fair value. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other analyses that are not yet final. Accordingly, the pro forma acquisition price adjustments are preliminary and subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. There can be no assurances that the final valuations will not result in material changes to the preliminary estimated purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the transaction or any integration costs. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include certain nonrecurring charges and the related tax effects that result directly from the transaction as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of each of CSSE and Redbox included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated herein. For more information, see the sections titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of CSSE,” “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of Redbox,” and “Where You Can Find More Information” and the risk factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Because the Exchange Ratio will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either CSSE Class A Common Stock or Redbox Class A Common Stock, the market value of CSSE Class A Common Stock that Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders will have the right to receive on the date the Mergers are completed may vary significantly from the market value of the CSSE Class A Common Stock that Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders would receive if the Mergers were completed on the date of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus. As a result, you should obtain recent market prices of CSSE Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class A Common Stock prior to voting your shares.

However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking.

CSSE and Redbox caution investors that any forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside CSSE’s and Redbox’s control, and which may cause actual results and future trends to differ materially from those matters expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement/​information statement/prospectus. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those described in forward-looking statements include the following:

•

Redbox Stockholders may not approve the Redbox Merger Proposal;

•

the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Mergers in a timely manner or at all;

•

Immediately following the consummation of the Mergers, the combined companies will have significant aggregate indebtedness in excess of the indebtedness for which each company is currently separately liable, and will have significant monthly, quarterly and annual debt and preferred stock dividend obligations, which will need to be meet from operational cash flow, existing and future credit facilities, debt financings and/or equity financings, which may not be available to CSSE as and when required or on commercially reasonable terms.

•

the Mergers may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to CSSE’s earnings per share, return on capital employed, cash flow and/or free cash flow, which may negatively affect the market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock;

•

CSSE and Redbox may incur significant transaction and other costs in connection with the Mergers in excess of those anticipated by CSSE or Redbox;

•

the combined company may fail to realize anticipated synergies or other benefits expected from the Mergers in the timeframe expected or at all;

•

the ultimate timing, outcome and results of integrating the operations of CSSE and Redbox and the risk that CSSE’s and Redbox’s businesses may not be integrated successfully;

•

the effect of the Mergers and their announcement and/or completion on CSSE’s and Redbox’s business or employee relationships;

18

•

the risk related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the Mergers;

•

the Mergers may disrupt current plans and operations that may harm CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective businesses;

•

the effects of the business combination on CSSE and Redbox, including the combined company’s future financial condition, results of operations, strategy, credit ratings and plans;

•

changes in capital markets and the ability of the combined company to finance operations in the manner expected;

•

regulatory approval of the transaction;

•

any litigation relating to the Mergers;

•

risks to CSSE’s and Redbox’s operating results and businesses generally, including the impact of a widespread outbreak of an illness, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the other risks, contingencies and uncertainties applicable to CSSE and Redbox disclosed in CSSE’s and Redbox’s other filings with the SEC incorporated herein by reference; and

•

the uncertainty of the value of the Merger Consideration due to the fixed Exchange Ratio and potential fluctuation in the market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. For further discussion of these and other risks, contingencies, and uncertainties applicable to CSSE and Redbox, please see “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus as well as CSSE’s and Redbox’s other filings with the SEC incorporated herein by reference. Please see “Where You Can Find More Information” for more information about the SEC filings incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus.

All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to CSSE, Redbox or any person acting on its or their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Neither CSSE nor Redbox assumes any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.

19

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/​information statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding how to vote. In addition, you should read and carefully consider the risks associated with each of CSSE and Redbox and their respective businesses. These risks can be found in CSSE’s and Redbox’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus. For further information regarding the documents incorporated into this proxy statement/​information statement/prospectus by reference, please see the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.” Realization of any of the risks described below, any of the events described under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” or any of the risks or events described in the documents incorporated by reference could have a material adverse effect on CSSE’s, Redbox’s or the combined company’s businesses, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Risks Relating to the Mergers

Because the market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock will fluctuate, Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders cannot be sure of the value of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock they will receive in connection with the Mergers. In addition, because the Exchange Ratio is fixed, the number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be received by Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders in connection with the Mergers will not change between now and the time the Mergers are completed to reflect changes in the trading prices of CSSE Class A Common Stock or Redbox Class A Common Stock.

In connection with the Mergers, each eligible share of Redbox Class A Common Stock and each eligible Opco LLC Unit will be converted automatically into the right to receive 0.087 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock. The Exchange Ratio is fixed except for certain adjustments on account of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Redbox Class A Common Stock, or CSSE Class A Common Stock, or any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Redbox Class A Common Stock, or CSSE Class A Common Stock, in each case having a record date occurring on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, which means that it will not change between now and the Closing, regardless of whether the market price of either CSSE Class A Common Stock or Redbox Class A Common Stock changes.

Changes in the market price of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock prior to the Mergers will affect the market value of the Merger Consideration that Redbox Stockholders will be entitled to receive on the closing date of the Mergers. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond the control of CSSE and Redbox), including the following:

•

changes in the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of CSSE and Redbox;

•

changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of CSSE or Redbox;

•

market assessments of the likelihood that the Mergers will be completed;

•

interest rates, general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the market prices of CSSE Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class A Common Stock;

•

federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments in the business in which CSSE and Redbox operate; and

•

other factors, including those described or referred to elsewhere under this heading “Risk Factors.”

The market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock at the Closing may vary from its price on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, on the date of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus and on the date of the Redbox Special Meeting and may be greater than, less than or the same as the price per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at each of the aforementioned times. As a result, the market

20

value of the Merger Consideration represented by the Exchange Ratio will also vary. For example, based on the range of closing prices of CSSE Class A Common Stock during the period from May 10, 2022, the last trading day before public announcement of the Mergers, through [•], the latest practicable date before the date of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, the Exchange Ratio of 0.087 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock per Redbox Class A Common Stock represented a market value ranging from a low of $[•] to a high of $[•] per Redbox Class A Common Stock.

Because the Mergers will be completed after the date of the Redbox Special Meeting, at the time of the Redbox Special Meeting, Redbox Stockholders will not know the exact market value of the CSSE Class A Common Stock that they will receive upon completion of the Mergers. Redbox Stockholders should consider, among other things:

•

if the price of CSSE Class A Common Stock increases between the date the Merger Agreement was signed and the Closing, Redbox Stockholders will receive shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock that have a market value upon completion of the Mergers that is greater than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the Exchange Ratio on the date the Merger Agreement was signed; and

•

if the price of CSSE Class A Common Stock declines between the date the Merger Agreement was signed and the Closing, Redbox Stockholders will receive shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock that have a market value upon the completion of the Mergers that is less than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the Exchange Ratio on the date the Merger Agreement was signed.

Therefore, while the number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued per Redbox Class A Common Stock is fixed, Redbox Stockholders and CSSE stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Merger Consideration that Redbox Stockholders will receive upon the Closing. The market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock is subject to general price fluctuations in the market for publicly traded equity securities and has experienced volatility in the past. You should obtain current market price quotations for CSSE Class A Common Stock; however, as noted above, the prices at the Effective Time may be greater than, the same as or less than such price quotations.

The market price for CSSE Class A Common Stock following the closing may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected or currently affect CSSE Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class A Common Stock.

Upon completion of the Mergers, Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders will receive shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock. CSSE’s financial position may differ from its financial position before the completion of the Mergers, and the results of operations of the combined company may be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of CSSE and those currently affecting the results of operations of Redbox. Accordingly, the market price and performance of CSSE Class A Common Stock is likely to be different from the performance of Redbox Class A Common Stock in the absence of the Mergers. In addition, general fluctuations in stock markets could have a material adverse effect on the market for, or liquidity of, CSSE Class A Common Stock, regardless of CSSE’s actual operating performance. For a discussion of the businesses of CSSE and Redbox and important factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference herein and referred to in “Where You Can Find More Information.”

CSSE Stockholders and Redbox Stockholders, in each case as of immediately prior to the Mergers, will have reduced ownership in the combined company.

Based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units as of June 13, 2022 and the number of issued and outstanding Redbox equity awards currently estimated to be payable in shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock in connection with the Mergers, CSSE anticipates issuing approximately 4,553,035 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock as Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The actual number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be determined at the completion of the Mergers based on the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to such time and the number of issued and outstanding Redbox equity awards payable in shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock in connection with the Mergers. The issuance of

these new shares could have the effect of depressing the market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock, through dilution of earnings per share or otherwise. Any dilution of, or delay of any accretion to, CSSE’s earnings per share could cause the price of CSSE Class A Common Stock to decline or increase at a reduced rate.

Immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will own approximately 76.5% and 23.5%, respectively, of the then outstanding CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined). The CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock are identical except that each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote and each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on each matter submitted to the CSSE Stockholders for a vote. Each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock is exchangeable for one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder. Accordingly, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will control approximately 94.8% and 5.2%, respectively, of the then total voting power represented by the CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined). CSSE’s current stockholders and Redbox’s current stockholders will have less influence on the policies of the combined company than they currently have on the policies of CSSE and Redbox, respectively.

CSSE and Redbox must obtain certain regulatory approvals and clearances to consummate the Mergers, which, if delayed, not granted or granted with unacceptable conditions, could prevent, substantially delay or impair consummation of the Mergers, result in additional expenditures of money and resources or reduce the anticipated benefits of the Mergers.

The completion of the Mergers may be subject to antitrust review in the United States. Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder, if certain HSR Act transaction size thresholds are triggered, the Mergers cannot be completed until the parties to the Merger Agreement have given notification and furnished information to the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), and until the applicable waiting period has expired or has been terminated.

At any time before or after consummation of the Mergers, notwithstanding any prior expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, the FTC, the DOJ or any state could take such action under antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Mergers or seeking the divestiture of substantial assets of CSSE or Redbox or their respective subsidiaries. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

The Mergers are subject to a number of conditions to the obligations of both CSSE and Redbox to complete the Mergers, which, if not fulfilled, or not fulfilled in a timely manner, may delay completion of the Mergers or result in termination of the Merger Agreement.

The respective obligations of each of Redbox and CSSE to effect the Mergers are subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the Effective Time of the following conditions:

•

the Merger Agreement shall have been duly adopted by the Requisite Redbox Vote;

•

any waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act relating to the Mergers shall have expired or been terminated and all required filings shall have been made and all required approvals have been obtained under applicable antitrust laws;

•

no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment, order or decree or other legal restraint or prohibition issued by any governmental entity having jurisdiction over any party shall be in effect, and no law shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any governmental entity that prohibits or makes illegal consummation of the Mergers, the CSSE Stock Issuance or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

•

the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers, and the CSSE Class A Common Stock to be reserved for issuance in connection with the Mergers (i.e., those shares issuable

22

upon exercise of Redbox’s public and private warrants), shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance;

•

the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus forms a part, shall have been declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Form S-4 shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened and the Form S-4 shall not have been withdrawn; and

•

HPS and its affiliates shall have executed and delivered to CSSE definitive financing agreements consistent with the form credit agreement made part of the Binding Commitment Letter.

Many of the conditions to completion of the Mergers are not within either CSSE’s or Redbox’s control, and neither company can predict when, or if, these conditions will be satisfied. If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived prior to the End Date, it is possible that the Merger Agreement may be terminated. Although CSSE and Redbox have agreed in the Merger Agreement to use reasonable best efforts, subject to certain limitations, to complete the Mergers as promptly as practicable, these and other conditions to the completion of the Mergers may fail to be satisfied. In addition, satisfying the conditions to and completing the Mergers may take longer, and could cost more, than CSSE and Redbox expect. Neither CSSE nor Redbox can predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. Furthermore, the requirements for obtaining the required clearances and approvals could delay the completion of the Mergers for a significant period of time or prevent them from occurring. Any delay in completing the Mergers may adversely affect the cost savings and other benefits that CSSE and Redbox expect to achieve if the Mergers and the integration of the companies’ respective businesses are completed within the expected timeframe. There can be no assurance that all required regulatory approvals will be obtained or obtained prior to the termination date. For additional information, please see “The Merger Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Mergers.”

If the Integrated Mergers, taken together, do not qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, Redbox Class A stockholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.

The Integrated Mergers are intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and CSSE and Redbox intend to report the Integrated Mergers consistent with such qualification. However, it is not a condition to CSSE’s obligation or Redbox’s obligation to complete the Integrated Mergers that the Integrated Mergers, taken together, be treated as a “reorganization,” and neither CSSE nor Redbox intends to obtain a ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not challenge such position or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS or a court determines that the Integrated Mergers, taken together, should not be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder of Redbox Class A Common Stock generally would recognize taxable gain or loss upon the exchange of Redbox Class A Common Stock for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Integrated Mergers. See “The Mergers — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers”.

CSSE’s ability to utilize its historic U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and those of Redbox may be limited.

As of December 31, 2021, CSSE and Redbox had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $54.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, $10.8 million and $0, respectively, of which were incurred prior to January 1, 2018 and will begin to expire, if unused, in 2031 and 2037, respectively, and $43.1 and $5.8 million, respectively, of which were incurred on or after January 1, 2018 and will not expire and will be carried forward indefinitely. CSSE’s ability to utilize these NOLs and other tax attributes to reduce future taxable income following the consummation of the Mergers depends on many factors, including its future income, which cannot be assured. Section 382 of the Code (“Section 382”) generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of NOLs that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone an “ownership change” ​(as determined under Section 382). An ownership change generally occurs if one or more stockholders (or groups of stockholders) who are each deemed to own at least 5% of such corporation’s stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. In the event that an ownership

23

change occurs, utilization of the relevant corporation’s NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, generally determined, subject to certain adjustments, by multiplying (i) the fair market value of such corporation’s stock at the time of the ownership change by (ii) a percentage approximately equivalent to the yield on long-term tax-exempt bonds during the month in which the ownership change occurs (2.36% for the month of June). Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years.

Redbox is expected to undergo an ownership change under Section 382 as a result of the Mergers, which, based on information currently available, may trigger a limitation (calculated as described above) on CSSE’s ability to utilize any historic Redbox NOLs. Although CSSE’s issuance of stock in the Mergers would, standing alone, be insufficient to result in an ownership change with respect to CSSE, we cannot assure you that CSSE will not undergo an ownership change as a result of the Mergers taking into account other changes in ownership of CSSE stock occurring within the relevant three-year period described above. If CSSE were to undergo an ownership change, it may be prevented from fully utilizing its historic NOLs incurred prior to January 1, 2018.

Uncertainties associated with the Mergers may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees of Redbox, which could adversely affect the future business and operations of CSSE following the Mergers.

CSSE and Redbox are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of their officers and other key employees to execute their business plans. CSSE’s success after the Mergers will depend in part upon its ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees. Current and prospective employees of Redbox may experience uncertainty about their roles within CSSE following the Mergers or other concerns regarding the timing and completion of the Mergers or the operations of CSSE following the Mergers, any of which may have an adverse effect on the ability of Redbox to retain or attract key management and other key personnel. In addition, the loss of key Redbox personnel could diminish the anticipated benefits of the Mergers. No assurance can be given that CSSE, following the Mergers, will be able to retain or attract key management personnel and other key employees of Redbox to the same extent that CSSE and Redbox have previously been able to retain or attract their own employees.

The business relationships of CSSE and Redbox may be subject to disruption due to uncertainty associated with the Mergers, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of CSSE or Redbox pending and following the Mergers.

Parties with which CSSE or Redbox do business may experience uncertainty associated with the Mergers, including with respect to current or future business relationships with CSSE or Redbox following the Mergers. CSSE’s and Redbox’s business relationships may be subject to disruption as customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture partners and other business partners may attempt to delay or defer entering into new business relationships, negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than CSSE or Redbox following the Mergers. These disruptions could have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of CSSE or Redbox, regardless of whether the Mergers are completed, as well as a material and adverse effect on CSSE’s ability to realize the expected cost savings and other benefits of the Mergers. The risk, and adverse effect, of any disruption could be exacerbated by a delay in completion of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement subjects CSSE and Redbox to restrictions on their respective business activities prior to the Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement subjects CSSE and Redbox to restrictions on their respective business activities prior to the Effective Time. The Merger Agreement obligates each of CSSE and Redbox to use its commercially reasonable efforts to carry on its business in the ordinary course in all material respects, and the Merger Agreement obligates Redbox to use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve substantially intact its business organization, keep available the services of its current officers and employees and preserve its relationships with customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, distributors and others having material business dealings with it. These restrictions could prevent CSSE and Redbox from pursuing certain business opportunities that arise prior to the Effective Time and are outside the ordinary course of business. See “The Merger Agreement — Conduct of Business” for additional details.

24

Redbox directors and executive officers have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Redbox Stockholders generally.

In considering the recommendation of the Redbox Board that Redbox Stockholders vote in favor of the Redbox Merger Proposal and the Redbox Adjournment Proposal, Redbox Stockholders should be aware of and take into account the fact that certain Redbox directors and executive officers have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Redbox Stockholders generally. These interests include, among others, change of control bonus payments, severance rights and rights to continuing indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. See “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers” for a more detailed description of these interests. The Redbox Board was aware of and carefully considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the terms and structure, and overseeing the negotiation, of the Mergers, in approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and in recommending that the Redbox Stockholders approve the Redbox Merger Proposal.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of Redbox from making a favorable proposal, could result in any such competing proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be and, in specified circumstances, could require Redbox to make a substantial termination payment to CSSE.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Redbox, subject to certain exceptions, agreed not to (i) conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to Redbox or Opco LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, or records of Redbox or Opco LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate, or encourage any effort by, any third party (or its potential sources of financing) that is seeking to make, or has made, any Takeover Proposal, (ii) (A) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of Redbox or Opco LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries, or (B) approve any transaction under, or any third party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL; or (iii) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, or other contract relating to any Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding such “no-shop” restrictions, prior to obtaining the approval of the Redbox Stockholders for the Redbox Merger Proposal, under certain specified circumstances and in accordance with Redbox Board’s duties as directors under applicable law, the Redbox Board may change the Redbox Board recommendations and terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a Superior Proposal. The Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement by Redbox under certain specified circumstances, Redbox will be required to pay to CSSE a termination fee of $15 million. See “The Merger Agreement —  No Solicitation; Recommendations” beginning on page [•] and “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee” beginning on page [•].

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Redbox from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if the potential competing acquirer was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than the value proposed to be received or realized in the Mergers, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share value than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.

If the Mergers are not consummated by the End Date, either Redbox or CSSE may terminate the Merger Agreement.

Either Redbox or CSSE may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Mergers have not been consummated by the End Date, which is October 31, 2022, subject to certain extensions of the End Date if conditions related to certain regulatory approvals have not been satisfied. However, this termination right will not be available to a party if that party’s failure to comply with any provision of the Merger Agreement has been the contributing cause of, or was a contributing factor that resulted in, the failure of the Mergers to be consummated on or before the End Date. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page [•]. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated by either party due to

25

the failure of the Mergers to close by the End Date, Redbox and CSSE will have incurred significant costs and will have diverted significant management focus and resources from other strategic opportunities without realizing the anticipated benefits of the Mergers.

The financial forecasts are based on various assumptions that may not be realized.

The financial estimates set forth in the forecasts included under the sections “The Mergers — Certain CSSE Unaudited Prospective Financial and Operating Information” and “The Mergers — Certain Redbox Unaudited Prospective Financial and Operating Information” were based on assumptions of, and information available to, CSSE’s management and Redbox’s management, as applicable, when prepared, and these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainties, many of which are beyond CSSE’s and Redbox’s control and may not be realized. CSSE and Redbox used different assumptions with respect to their evaluation of the future prospects of the Legacy Business of Redbox in connection with their consideration of the Mergers . Many factors mentioned in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, including the risks outlined in this “Risk Factors” section and the events or circumstances described under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” will be important in determining the combined company’s future results. As a result of these contingencies, actual future results may vary materially from CSSE’s and Redbox’s estimates. In view of these uncertainties, the inclusion of financial estimates in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus does not and should not be viewed as a representation that the forecasted results will necessarily reflect actual future results.

CSSE’s and Redbox’s financial estimates were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, and such financial estimates were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of any regulatory or professional body. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and neither CSSE nor Redbox undertakes any obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update the financial estimates herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date those financial estimates were prepared or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

The financial estimates of CSSE and Redbox included in this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, CSSE and Redbox, as applicable. Moreover, neither CSSE’s nor Redbox’s independent accountants, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to CSSE’s or Redbox’s prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or the achievability thereof, and, accordingly, such independent accountants assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, CSSE’s and Redbox’s prospective financial information. The reports of such independent accountants included or incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, relate exclusively to the historical financial information of the entities named in those reports and do not cover any other information in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus and should not be read to do so. See “The Mergers — Certain CSSE Unaudited Prospective Financial and Operating Information” and “The Mergers — Certain Redbox Unaudited Prospective Financial and Operating Information” for more information.

The opinions of CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective financial advisors will not reflect changes in circumstances between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers.

Each of CSSE and Redbox has received opinions from its financial advisors in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement, but has not obtained any updated opinion from its financial advisors as of the date of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus. Changes in the operations and prospects of CSSE or Redbox, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of CSSE or Redbox, and on which the companies’ respective financial advisors’ opinions were based, may significantly alter the value of CSSE or Redbox or the prices of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock or Redbox Class A Common Stock by the time the Mergers are completed. The opinions do not speak as of the time the Mergers will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinions. Because neither CSSE nor Redbox currently anticipates asking its financial advisors to update their opinions, the opinions will not address the fairness of the Merger Consideration from a financial point of view at the time the Mergers are completed. The CSSE Board’s recommendation that CSSE Stockholders vote in

26

favor of the CSSE Stock Issuance proposal and the Redbox Board’s recommendation that Redbox Stockholders vote in favor of the Redbox Merger Proposal, however, are made as of the date of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus.

Failure to complete the Mergers could negatively impact CSSE’s or Redbox’s stock price and have a material adverse effect on their results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.

If the Mergers are not completed for any reason, including as a result of failure to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals or if the Redbox Stockholders fail to approve the applicable proposals, the ongoing businesses of CSSE and Redbox may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Mergers, CSSE and Redbox would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

•

CSSE and Redbox may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on their respective stock prices;

•

CSSE and Redbox and their respective subsidiaries may experience negative reactions from their respective customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture partners and other business partners;

•

CSSE and Redbox will still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the Mergers, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees;

•

Redbox may be required to pay a termination fee as required by the Merger Agreement;

•

the Merger Agreement places certain restrictions on the conduct of the respective businesses pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which may delay or prevent the respective companies from undertaking business opportunities that, absent the Merger Agreement, may have been pursued;

•

failure to consummate the Mergers by the End Date is an event of default under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement, and the occurrence of such event of default could result in the outstanding indebtedness under such agreement becoming due and payable. Redbox may not be able to obtain an waiver from HPS with respect to the event of default, in which case Redbox may be required to seek protection under chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code that could and likely would result in lower value for Redbox Stockholders than would be obtained in the Mergers;

•

matters relating to the Mergers (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by each company’s management, which may have resulted in the distraction of each company’s management from ongoing business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to the companies; and

•

litigation related to any failure to complete the Mergers or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against CSSE or Redbox to perform their respective obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

If the Mergers are not completed, the risks described above may materialize and they may have a material adverse effect on CSSE’s or Redbox’s results of operations, cash flows, financial position and stock prices.

The combined companies following the Mergers will have significant indebtedness that in the aggregate exceeds their current individual debt obligations.

Immediately following the consummation of the Mergers, the combined companies will have significant aggregate indebtedness in excess of the indebtedness for which each company is currently separately liable, and will have significant monthly, quarterly and annual debt and preferred stock dividend obligations, which will need to be met from operational cash flow, existing and future credit facilities, debt financings and/or equity financings, which may not be available to CSSE as and when required or on commercially reasonable terms.

27

The shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be received by Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders upon completion of the Mergers will have different rights from shares of Redbox Common Stock or Opco LLC Units.

Upon completion of the Mergers, Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders (other than Redbox) will no longer be stockholders of Redbox or unitholders of Opco LLC. Instead, former Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders (other than Redbox) will become CSSE Stockholders, and, while their rights as CSSE Stockholders will continue to be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware, their rights will be subject to and governed by the terms of the CSSE certificate of incorporation and the CSSE bylaws. The laws of the state of Delaware and terms of the CSSE certificate of incorporation and the CSSE bylaws are in some respects different than the terms of the Redbox certificate of incorporation, the Redbox bylaws and the Opco LLC agreement, which currently govern the rights of Redbox Stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders, as applicable. See “Comparison of Equityholder Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock, shares of Redbox Common Stock and Opco LLC Units.

Completion of the Mergers may trigger change in control or other provisions in certain agreements to which Redbox is a party.

The completion of the Mergers may trigger change in control or other provisions in certain agreements to which Redbox, Opco LLC or another subsidiary of Redbox is a party. If CSSE, Redbox or their respective subsidiaries are unable to negotiate waivers of those provisions, the counterparties may exercise their rights and remedies under the agreements, potentially terminating the agreements, or seeking monetary damages. Even if CSSE and Redbox are able to negotiate waivers, the counterparties may require a fee for such waivers or seek to renegotiate the agreements on terms less favorable to Redbox. Additionally, the completion of the Mergers will constitute a change of control under certain Redbox employment agreements.

For additional details, see “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers.”

CSSE and Redbox are expected to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Mergers, which may be in excess of the amount anticipated by them.

CSSE and Redbox have incurred and are expected to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with negotiating and completing the Mergers, combining the operations of the two companies and achieving desired synergies. These costs have been, and will continue to be, substantial and, in many cases, will be borne by CSSE and Redbox whether or not the Mergers are completed. A substantial majority of non- recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors, employee retention, severance and benefit costs and filing fees. CSSE will also incur costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities and systems consolidation costs and other employment-related costs. CSSE and Redbox will continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Mergers and the integration of the two companies’ businesses. While CSSE and Redbox have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are many factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the expenses. The elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may not offset integration-related costs and achieve a net benefit in the near term, or at all. The costs described above and any unanticipated costs and expenses, many of which will be borne by CSSE or Redbox even if the Mergers are not completed, could have an adverse effect on CSSE’s or Redbox’s financial condition and operating results.

Litigation relating to the Mergers could result in an injunction preventing the completion of the Mergers and/or substantial costs to CSSE and Redbox.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger, or other business combination agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective liquidity and financial condition.

28

Lawsuits that may be brought against CSSE, Redbox or their respective directors could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to rescind parts of the Merger Agreement already implemented and to otherwise enjoin the parties from consummating the Mergers. In May 2022, CSSE received a request for access to the books and records of CSSE relating to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

One of the conditions to the closing of the Mergers is that no injunction by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction has been entered and continues to be in effect and no law has been adopted or is effective, in either case that prohibits or makes illegal the closing of the Mergers. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Mergers, that injunction may delay or prevent the Mergers from being completed within the expected timeframe or at all, which may adversely affect CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective business, financial position and results of operation. Either CSSE or Redbox may terminate the Merger Agreement if any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity issues any judgment, order, injunction, rule or decree, or takes any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and such judgment, order, injunction, rule, decree or other action becomes final and nonappealable, so long as the party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement has used its reasonable best efforts to contest, appeal and remove such judgment, order, injunction, rule, decree, ruling or other action in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

There can be no assurance that any of the defendants will be successful in the outcome of any potential future lawsuits. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the Mergers are completed may adversely affect CSSE’s or Redbox’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Mergers may be completed even though material adverse changes subsequent to the announcement of the Mergers, such as industry-wide changes or other events, may occur.

In general, either party can refuse to complete the Mergers if there is a material adverse change affecting the other party. However, some types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the transaction, even if such changes would have a material adverse effect on either of the parties. For example, a worsening of CSSE’s or Redbox’s conditions or developments generally applicable to the industry in the United States or any other country where CSSE or Redbox, as applicable, has material operations would not give the other party the right to refuse to complete the Mergers. In addition, the parties have the ability, but are under no obligation, to waive any material adverse change that results in the failure of a closing condition and instead proceed with completing the Mergers. If adverse changes occur that affect either party but the parties are still required or voluntarily decide to complete the transaction, CSSE’s share price, business and financial results after the Mergers may suffer.

Redbox Class A stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers.

Appraisal rights are statutory rights that enable stockholders to dissent from certain extraordinary transactions, such as certain Mergers, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the applicable transaction. Under the DGCL, Redbox Class A stockholders will not have rights to an appraisal of the fair value of their shares in connection with the Mergers because they are receiving shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock, and the CSSE Class A Common Stock is expected to continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Market during the pendency of and following the effectiveness of the Mergers. Holders of Redbox Class B Common Stock may be entitled to exercise dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware law because shares of Redbox Class B Common Stock will be cancelled in connection with the Mergers with no consideration. However, holders of Redbox Class B Common Stock and Opco LLC Unit have waived the right to exercise appraisal and dissenter rights in connection with the Mergers. See “The Mergers — Appraisal Rights or Dissenters’ Rights” for more information about appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers.

The COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect CSSE’s and Redbox’s ability to timely consummate the Mergers.

COVID-19 and the various precautionary measures attempting to limit its spread taken by many governmental authorities worldwide has had a severe effect on global markets and the global economy. The

29

extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective business operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 variants and the nature and extent of governmental actions taken to contain it or treat its impact, among others. COVID-19 and official actions in response to it have made it more challenging for CSSE, Redbox and relevant third parties to adequately staff their respective businesses and operations, and may cause delay in the companies’ ability to obtain the relevant approvals for the consummation of the Mergers.

There may be unexpected delays in the completion of the Mergers or the Mergers may not be completed at all.

The Mergers are currently expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, assuming that all of the conditions in the Merger Agreement are either satisfied or waived. The Merger Agreement provides that either CSSE or Redbox may terminate the Merger Agreement, under circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement. Certain events may delay the completion of the Mergers or result in a termination of the Merger Agreement. Some of these events are outside the control of CSSE and Redbox. In particular, completion of the Mergers requires the Requisite Redbox Vote on the Redbox Merger Proposal at the Redbox Special Meeting. If the Requisite Redbox Vote is not obtained at the Redbox Special Meeting (including any postponement or adjournment thereof), either CSSE or Redbox may terminate the Merger Agreement.

CSSE and Redbox may incur significant additional costs in connection with any delay in completing the Mergers or the termination of the Merger Agreement, in addition to significant transaction costs, including legal, financial advisory, accounting and other costs CSSE and Redbox have already incurred. In addition, if the Mergers are terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, Redbox will be required to pay to CSSE a termination fee of $15 million. Neither CSSE nor Redbox can assure you that the conditions to the completion of the Merger Agreement will be satisfied or waived or that any adverse change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement will not occur.

Risks Relating to CSSE Following the Mergers

CSSE may be unable to integrate the business of Redbox successfully or realize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers.

The Mergers involve the combination of two companies that currently operate as independent public companies. The combination of two independent businesses is complex, costly and time consuming, and each of CSSE and Redbox will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating their respective business practices and operations. Potential difficulties that the companies may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:

•

the inability to successfully combine the business of Redbox in a manner that permits CSSE to achieve, on a timely basis or at all, the enhanced revenue opportunities and cost savings and other benefits anticipated to result from the Mergers;

•

complexities associated with managing the combined businesses, including difficulty addressing possible differences in operational philosophies and the challenge of integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the companies in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;

•

the assumption of contractual obligations with less favorable or more restrictive terms; and

•

potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Mergers.

In addition, CSSE and Redbox have previously operated and, until the completion of the Mergers, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in:

•

diversion of the attention of each company’s management; and

•

the disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies.

30

Any of these issues could adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies or achieve the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, or could reduce each company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of CSSE following the Mergers.

The synergies attributable to the Mergers may vary from expectations.

CSSE may fail to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Mergers, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results. The success of the Mergers will depend, in significant part, on CSSE’s ability to successfully integrate the acquired business and realize the anticipated strategic benefits and synergies from the combination. CSSE believes that the addition of Redbox will complement CSSE’s strategy by providing operational and financial scale, increasing free cash flow, and enhancing CSSE’s corporate rate of return. However, achieving these goals requires, among other things, realization of the targeted cost synergies expected from the Mergers. The anticipated benefits of the transaction may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Actual operating, technological, strategic and revenue opportunities, if achieved at all, may be less significant than expected or may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If CSSE is not able to achieve these objectives and realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Mergers within the anticipated timing or at all, CSSE’s business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

The future results of CSSE following the Mergers will suffer if CSSE does not effectively manage its expanded operations.

Following the Mergers, the size and geographic footprint of the business of CSSE will increase. CSSE’s future success will depend, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which may pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. CSSE may also face increased scrutiny from governmental authorities as a result of the increase in the size of its business. There can be no assurances that CSSE will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements or other benefits currently anticipated from the Mergers.

The Mergers may result in a loss of customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture partners and other business partners and may result in the termination of existing contracts.

Following the Mergers, some of the customers, distributors, producers, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture partners and other business partners of CSSE or Redbox may terminate or scale back their current or prospective business relationships with CSSE or Redbox. In addition, CSSE and Redbox have contracts with customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture partners and other business partners that may require CSSE or Redbox to obtain consents from these other parties in connection with the Mergers, which may not be obtained on favorable terms or at all. If relationships with customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture partners and other business partners are adversely affected by the Mergers, or if CSSE, following the Mergers, loses the benefits of the contracts of CSSE or Redbox, CSSE’s business and financial performance could suffer.

As a result of the Mergers, the existing indebtedness of Redbox will be added to CSSE’s consolidated debt. Any inability to support debt repayment requirements, will materially adversely affect CSSE, its operations and financial condition.

As of March 31, 2022, Redbox had aggregate indebtedness of $349.3 million, including its obligations under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement and under its credit facility with MUFG Union Bank. As of March 31, 2022, CSSE had aggregate indebtedness of $67.9 million, including its obligations under its existing credit facility with Midcap, and under its outstanding publicly traded 9.50% notes (Nasdaq Symbol: CSSEN). In addition, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CSSE and HPS executed a commitment letter pursuant to which, at the Effective Time, CSSE would obtain from HPS and its affiliates (i) a term loan facility consisting of the conversion, and assumption by CSSE, of all “Senior Obligations” under (and as defined in) the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement (other than any outstanding Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement) and

31

(ii) an $80 million revolving credit facility (with any outstanding the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement being deemed, and assumed by CSSE as, revolving loans thereunder). Based on the foregoing, the consolidated indebtedness (excluding debt issuance costs and discounts) of CSSE and Redbox immediately following the Mergers, assuming it occurred on March 31, 2022 would be $389.4 million, with combined monthly and annual debt service obligations of $2.6 million and $32.0 million, respectively. If the combined company’s monthly and annual cash flow is not adequate to cover such debt service obligations, other existing capital resources of CSSE would need to be utilized. If these resources also prove inadequate to service all debt obligations, CSSE will need to secure additional financing through debt and/or equity financings. Any such financings would have the effect of further leveraging CSSE and/or diluting its existing stockholders. If needed, such additional financing may not be available as and when required, or on terms that are commercially reasonable. In the event, CSSE is unable to satisfy its debt service obligations following the Mergers from cash flows from operations and existing resources, and is unable to secure additional financing as and when needed, it may be required to curtail all or some of its operations and/or dispose of assets or take other measures required to diminish such debt service obligations or raise capital resources as necessary to satisfy same. In addition, substantially all of the assets of each of CSSE and Redbox are or will be pledged in connection with such indebtedness, and any event of default under such indebtedness could lead to foreclosure of some or all of such assets.

The market price and trading volume of CSSE Common Stock may be volatile.

The United States stock markets, including the Nasdaq, on which CSSE Common Stock will continue to be listed under the symbol “CSSE” after the Mergers, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. As a result, the market price of shares of CSSE Common Stock is likely to be similarly volatile, and investors in shares of CSSE Common Stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to CSSE’s operating performance or prospects. Neither CSSE nor Redbox can assure you that the market price of CSSE Common Stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future.

In addition to the risks listed in this “Risk Factors” section, a number of factors could negatively affect CSSE’s share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of CSSE Common Stock, including:

•

equity issuances by CSSE, or future sales of substantial amounts of CSSE Common Stock by its existing or future stockholders, or the perception that such issuances or future sales may occur;

•

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

•

fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;

•

additions or departures of executive officers or other key employees;

•

CSSE’s operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;

•

actual or anticipated differences in CSSE’s quarterly operating results;

•

changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in estimates of securities analysts;

•

publication of research reports about CSSE or its industry by securities analysts;

•

adverse market reaction to indebtedness CSSE incurs in the future;

•

strategic decisions by CSSE or its competitors, such as acquisitions, divestments, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;

•

legislative or other regulatory developments that adversely affect CSSE or the industry in which it operates;

•

speculation in the press or investment community;

•

changes in CSSE’s earnings;

•

failure to satisfy the listing requirements of the Nasdaq;

•

failure to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, as amended;

32

•

actions by institutional stockholders of CSSE;

•

changes in accounting principles; and

•

general economic and/or market conditions, including factors unrelated to CSSE’s performance.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the price of their common stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert CSSE’s management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on CSSE’s cash flows and its ability to execute its business strategy.

The market price of shares of CSSE Common Stock following the Transactions may be affected by factors different from those affecting the price of shares of CSSE Common Stock before the Transactions.

The results of operations of CSSE, as well as the market price of CSSE Common Stock, after the Mergers may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting CSSE’s results of operations and the market prices of CSSE Common Stock. These factors include:

•

a greater number of shares of CSSE Common Stock outstanding;

•

different stockholders owning shares of CSSE; and

•

CSSE owning new assets with different strategic or other requirements than its current operations.

Accordingly, the historical market prices and financial results of CSSE and Redbox may not be indicative of these matters for CSSE after the Transactions.

The market price of CSSE Common Stock may decline as a result of the Transactions.

The market price of CSSE Common Stock may decline as a result of the Transactions if CSSE does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Transactions as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts, or the effect of the Transactions on CSSE’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

In addition, upon consummation of the Transactions, Redbox shareholders and CSSE stockholders will own interests in a company operating an expanded business with a different mix of properties, risks and liabilities. Current Redbox shareholders and CSSE stockholders may not wish to continue to invest in CSSE, or for other reasons may wish to dispose of some or all of their shares of CSSE Common Stock. If, following the closing of the Transactions, significant amounts of CSSE Common Stock are sold, the price of CSSE Common Stock could decline.

The CSSE Stock Issuance may cause the market price of CSSE Common Stock to decline.

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, based on the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock outstanding on June 13, 2022, CSSE expects to issue approximately 4,553,035 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock, which will represent approximately 23.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of CSSE Common Stock (i.e., the CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock outstanding, as a single class) after consummation of the Mergers. CSSE expects that some Redbox shareholders who receive shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock are likely to sell such shares promptly after the consummation of the Mergers. Both the issuance of this amount of new shares and any subsequent sales of these shares may cause the market price of CSSE Common Stock to decline.

CSSE may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future.

In connection with executing CSSE’s business strategies following the Transactions, CSSE expects to continue to evaluate additional acquisitions and other strategic investment opportunities, and CSSE may elect to finance these endeavors by incurring additional indebtedness. The amount of such indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for CSSE, including:

•

hindering CSSE’s ability to adjust to changing market, industry or economic conditions;

33

•

limiting CSSE’s ability to access the capital markets to refinance maturing debt or to fund acquisitions or emerging businesses;

•

limiting the amount of free cash flow available for future operations, acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases or other uses;

•

making CSSE more vulnerable to economic or industry downturns, including interest rate increases; and

•

placing CSSE at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors.

The impact of any of these potential adverse consequences could have a material adverse effect on CSSE’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements included in this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of CSSE’s financial condition or results of operations after the Transactions.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements contained in this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on various adjustments, assumptions and preliminary estimates and may not be an indication of CSSE’s future financial condition or results of operations resulting from the Transactions. The actual financial condition and results of operations of CSSE following the Transactions may not be consistent with, or evident from, these unaudited pro forma financial statements. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial statements may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect CSSE’s financial condition or results of operations following the Transactions. Any potential decline in CSSE’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the market price of CSSE Common Stock following the Transactions.

Other Risks Relating to CSSE and Redbox

As a result of entering into the Merger Agreement, CSSE’s and Redbox’s businesses are and will be subject to the risks described above. In addition, CSSE and Redbox are, and following completion of the Mergers, CSSE will be, subject to the risks described in CSSE’s and Redbox’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for the location of information incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus.

THE CSSE STOCK ISSUANCE

On May 10, 2022, CSSE entered into the Merger Agreement with Redbox Entertainment Inc., Merger Sub Inc., Merger Sub LLC, Opco Merger Sub LLC and Opco LLC. The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement: at the Effective Time (a) the First Company Merger shall be consummated in which Merger Sub Inc. with and into Redbox, with Redbox continuing as the Surviving Corporation; (b) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, the Opco Merger shall be consummated in which Opco Merger Sub LLC will merge with and into Opco LLC, with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving entity; and (c) immediately following the First Company Merger and Opco Merger, the Second Company Merger will be consummated in which Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving entity.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time: (a) each share of Redbox Class A Common Stock will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive, 0.087 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio; (b) each Opco LLC Unit will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and (c) each share of Redbox Class B Common Stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration. Based on the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/ information statement/prospectus, an aggregate of approximately 4,553,035 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock would be issued in exchange therefor as the Merger Consideration.

At the Effective Time, the Redbox RSU Awards that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time held by each holder will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of vested and unvested Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will own approximately 76.5% and 23.5%, respectively, of the then outstanding CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined). The CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock are identical except that each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote and each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on each matter submitted to the CSSE Stockholders for a vote. Each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock is exchangeable for one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder. Accordingly, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, it is anticipated that persons who were stockholders of CSSE and Redbox immediately prior to the Mergers will control approximately 94.8% and 5.2%, respectively, of the then total voting power represented by the CSSE capital stock (i.e., the CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined).

At the Effective Time, the outstanding public warrants and private warrants of Redbox shall remain outstanding but become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrants based on the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, a holder would be required to surrender warrants to acquire 11.494 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock in order to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio.

The issuance by CSSE of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock comprising the Merger Consideration and the reservation for future issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of Redbox’s warrants is referred to herein as the “CSSE Stock Issuance.”

The CSSE Board has unanimously (a) declared that the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other Transactions are in the best interests of, CSSE and the CSSE Stockholders, (b) approved and declared

35

advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (c) directed that the CSSE Stock Issuance be submitted to the CSSE Stockholders for approval in accordance with and as required under Nasdaq rules, and (d) recommended that the CSSE Stockholders approve the CSSE Stock Issuance (the “CSSE Board Recommendation”).

On May 11, 2022 and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Principal CSSE Holders approved the CSSE Stock Issuance by delivery of the CSSP Written Consent. As of May 11, 2022, the Principal CSSE Holders held the majority of the voting power of outstanding CSSE capital stock (CSSE Class A common stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock combined), with each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock having one vote and each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock having ten votes. Since the CSSE Stock Issuance will result in the issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock constituting 20% or more of the outstanding CSSE Class A Common Stock, Nasdaq rules require such issuance to be approved by the holders of the majority of outstanding CSSE Common Stock. The CSSP Written Consent constitutes such approval. Therefore, the delivery of the CSSP Written Consent satisfied applicable Nasdaq rules and the requirement in the Merger Agreement that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding CSSE Common Stock approve the CSSE Stock Issuance.

No additional approval of the stockholders of CSSE is required to approve the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other Transactions. As a result, CSSE has not solicited and will not be soliciting your vote for the approval of the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other Transactions and does not intend to call a meeting of stockholders for purposes of voting on the adoption of the CSSE Stock Issuance, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other Transactions.

Attending the Redbox Special Meeting (virtually) and following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting.

Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy card should be sent to Attention: [•], Redbox Entertainment Inc., 1 Tower Lane, Suite 800, Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60181.

If your shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock or Redbox Class B Common Stock are held on your behalf by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must contact them to receive instructions as to how you may revoke your proxy voting instructions.

Quorum; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

The presence in person (virtually) or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of Redbox Common Stock entitled to vote at the Redbox Special Meeting as of [•] will constitute a quorum, permitting the stockholders to conduct business at the Redbox Special Meeting. If you have returned valid proxy instructions or if you hold your shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock or Redbox Class B Common Stock in your own name as a holder of record and attend the Redbox Special Meeting (virtually), your shares will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum. For purposes of the Redbox Merger Proposal, the failure to return your proxy card and other shares not voted (whether by broker non-vote or otherwise) will not be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum and will have no effect on the Redbox Merger Proposal. Abstentions will be considered as votes cast and, accordingly, will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the Redbox Merger Proposal. Abstentions and the failure to return a proxy card will have no effect on the outcome of the Redbox Adjournment Proposal provided a quorum is otherwise present at the Redbox Special Meeting.

Broker non-votes occur when nominees, such as banks and brokers holding shares in “street name” on behalf of beneficial owners, do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners on how their shares

40

should be voted. If that happens, the nominees may vote those shares of common stock only on matters deemed “routine”, the exchange on which Redbox Common Stock is listed. On “non-routine” matters, nominees holding shares for a beneficial owner cannot vote without instructions from the beneficial owner, resulting in a so-called “broker non-vote.” As each of the proposals to be voted upon at the Redbox Special Meeting is considered “non-routine,” such organizations do not have discretion to vote on any of the proposals. As a result, if you fail to provide your broker, bank or other nominee with any instructions regarding how to vote your shares of Redbox Common Stock, your shares of Redbox Common Stock will not be considered present at the Redbox Special Meeting and will not be voted on any of the proposals.

Required Vote

The approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class, assuming a quorum is present at the Redbox Special Meeting. In this regard, it should be noted that under the terms of the Redbox Voting Agreement, the Redbox Majority Holders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, to vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal. The Redbox Majority Holders own the majority of the outstanding Redbox Common Shares, and will constitute a quorum at the Redbox Special Meeting, and their vote will be sufficient to approve the Redbox Merger Proposal.

The approval of the Redbox Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class, cast by the Redbox Stockholders at the Redbox Special Meeting, assuming a quorum is present at the Redbox Special Meeting.

THE REDBOX MERGER PROPOSAL

The Redbox Board, after due and careful discussion and consideration, unanimously declared that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Integrated Mergers) were in the best interests of the Redbox Stockholders and approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Integrated Mergers).

The Redbox Board accordingly unanimously recommends that Redbox Stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Integrated Mergers), as disclosed in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, particularly the related narrative disclosures in the sections of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus titled “The Mergers” and “The Merger Agreement,” and as attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/​information statement/prospectus.

In addition, important business and financial information about each of CSSE and Redbox is included in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus. Please see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Background of the Mergers

As part of its ongoing review of the business of Redbox, the Redbox Board, together with its senior management, from time to time reviews and assesses Redbox’s strategic business plans, including potential strategic alternatives and other strategies and opportunities to increase stockholder value.

In the first quarter of 2020, Redbox’s predecessor (the “Prior Redbox Entity”) was introduced to CSSE to evaluate various commercial and strategic opportunities between the two companies. On April 17, 2020, the Prior Redbox Entity and CSSE executed a mutual non-disclosure agreement in connection with a potential transaction (the “CSSE NDA”). Over the next several months, the parties negotiated a non-binding term sheet, which was entered into on November 20, 2020 and included a 90-day exclusivity period during which time extensive due diligence was conducted between the parties. The parties failed to reach agreement on the definitive terms of a transaction and the exclusivity period expired in February 2021, following which the Prior Redbox Entity continued to evaluate potential strategic alternatives, resulting in a business combination agreement, dated as of May 16, 2021, with Seaport Global Acquisition Corp., which was consummated on October 22, 2021.

During 2020, the CSSE Board discussed potential transactions with Redbox at regularly scheduled general meetings of the CSSE Board held on each of June 20, 2020, August 19, 2020, October 22, 2020, and December 7, 2020. There was no discussion of any potential transaction with Redbox during any meetings of the CSSE Board during 2021 as it appeared unlikely that CSSE and Redbox could reach agreement on key terms relating to the acquisition.

Redbox’s business has been negatively impacted by the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in fewer releases on its platforms than management previously expected and materially worse financial performance. In late 2021 and early 2022, the COVID-19 resurgence with the Omicron variant caused further disruption to the physical movie rentals market due to the reduction in customer traffic resulting from regulatory restrictions on retail stores intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and a material decline in new movie releases available to consumers resulting from broad-based movie theater closures and a material slowdown in new productions. On January 28, 2022, Redbox borrowed the remaining availability under its revolving credit facility with HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”) (the “HPS Credit Agreement”).

Following Redbox’s business combination with Seaport Global Acquisition Corp., CSSE monitored Redbox’s business and operations through review of Redbox’s public filings and held occasional calls with Redbox management.

On February 2, 2022, at the direction of the Redbox Board, Redbox publicly announced that it was evaluating strategic alternatives. Following the announcement, representatives of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”), an affiliate of Redbox’s majority stockholder, Redwood Holdco, LP (“Redwood LP”), reached out to CSSE to gauge CSSE’s interest in exploring a potential strategic transaction with Redbox. Later that day, representatives of CSSE contacted Redbox’s Chief Executive Officer to express CSSE’s interest in exploring a potential strategic transaction with Redbox. Also on February 2, 2022, Redbox management spoke with representatives of HPS to discuss additional financing.

On February 3, 2022, Redbox and CSSE executed an amendment to the CSSE NDA.

44

On February 7, 2022, Redbox engaged Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP (“Weil”) in connection with its evaluation and execution of various strategic or liability management alternatives, including a potential restructuring of Redbox or its indebtedness.

On February 8, 2022, Redbox received a financing proposal from HPS for a senior $20 million incremental term loan facility with terms substantially similar to the existing HPS Credit Agreement (the “February 8 HPS Proposal”). Among other things, the February 8 HPS Proposal contemplated a cost-cutting plan and changes to the Redbox Board. The February 8 HPS Proposal further provided that, as a condition to the financing, Redwood LP, the majority stockholder of Redbox, would be required to transfer its equity interests in Redbox to HPS.

On February 10, 2022, the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox, representatives of Weil and board observers from Apollo at which, among other things, the Redbox Board discussed retaining an investment bank to assist with Redbox’s exploration of strategic alternatives, including potential financings, assets sales, or other strategic transactions. Following the February 10, 2022 Redbox Board meeting, Redbox interviewed several investment banks to serve in various financial advisory roles to Redbox.

On February 14, 2022, the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by representatives of Weil and board observers from Apollo at which, among other things, the Redbox Board discussed the retention of Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC (“A&M”) as a financial advisor to advise with respect to improving Redbox’s financial and operating performance. Redbox and A&M executed an engagement letter on February 14, 2022.

On February 16, 2022, Redbox determined to engage PJT Partners LP (“PJT Partners”) as a financial advisor to Redbox in connection with a possible transaction, restructuring, capital raise and/or amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement. On February 19, 2022, Weil, as counsel to and on behalf of Redbox, and PJT Partners executed an engagement letter under which PJT Partners agreed to provide investment banking services to Redbox in connection with such matters.

On March 2, 2022 and March 3, 2022, PJT Partners held calls with 16 potential third party lenders and circulated non-disclosure agreements to 9 of such potential third-party lenders. Of the 9 potential third party lenders who received non-disclosure agreements, 4 of such potential lenders executed non-disclosure agreements with Redbox. One of the 4 potential third party lenders that executed non-disclosure agreements submitted a financing proposal to Redbox on March 4, 2022 for a superpriority first-lien term loan for up to $50 million, contingent on HPS’s consent (the “March 4 Proposal”). On March 24, 2022, HPS indicated it would not consent to such financing.

On March 3, 2022, at the direction of Redbox, PJT Partners conducted due diligence calls with each of Apollo and HPS with respect to potentially raising $50 million of financing (the “Potential Financing Transaction”). After discussing with Redbox, PJT Partners addressed follow-up due diligence questions to each of Apollo and HPS following the due diligence calls.

On March 7, 2022, Redbox received a financing proposal from Apollo which contemplated a joint financing by Apollo and HPS for a $45 million incremental revolving facility, that, among other things, would provide a limited consent right to HPS with respect to a sale transaction involving Redbox (the “March 7 Apollo Proposal”). The March 7 Apollo Proposal did not contemplate Redwood LP being required to transfer its equity interests in Redbox to HPS.

On March 8, 2022, the Redbox Board, management and A&M discussed A&M's initial observations of management's non-product cost-reduction initiatives.

On March 9, 2022, at the direction of Redbox, PJT Partners held a call with HPS with respect to the March 7 Apollo Proposal, at which time HPS advised that it did not agree to the terms of the March 7 Apollo Proposal.

On March 9, 2022, Redbox management, its advisors and representatives of Apollo had a meeting to discuss A&M’s initial observations of management's non-product cost-reduction initiatives for Redbox and on March 10, 2022, Redbox, its advisors and HPS had a meeting to discuss the same.

45

On March 10, 2022, the Redbox Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to appoint new board members and establish a strategic review committee (the “Strategic Review Committee”) comprised of disinterested and independent directors to, among other things, evaluate and approve strategic alternatives (including financings) that might be available to Redbox. The Redbox Board appointed Kimberly Kelleher and Charles Yamarone to the Strategic Review Committee, in addition to Emanuel Pearlman (who was appointed to the Redbox Board on March 8, 2022).

On March 11, 2022, Party 1, a finance company, contacted PJT Partners to discuss Redbox and potential strategic opportunities.

Throughout this period, CSSE indicated interest in acquiring Redbox to Apollo, HPS, and Redbox which resulted in a tentative structure relating to a proposed acquisition of Redbox and the assumption by CSSE of Redbox’s existing indebtedness owed to HPS.

On March 12, 2022, Redbox opened a virtual data room to share confidential information related to the Potential Financing Transaction for three of the four potential financing parties that had executed non-disclosure agreements with Redbox on March 4, 2022.

Also on March 12, 2022, Redbox received a proposal from HPS, which HPS represented that it had provided to Apollo on or around March 3, 2022 (the “March 12 HPS Proposal”). The March 12 HPS Proposal provided for, among other things, a $30 million incremental revolving credit facility and a consent right for HPS over any sale transactions involving Redbox. The March 12 HPS Proposal did not contemplate Redwood LP being required to transfer its equity interests in Redbox to HPS.

On March 13, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held its first meeting, which was also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M. The Strategic Review Committee reviewed and discussed with its advisors the terms of the March 4 Proposal, the March 7 Apollo Proposal and the March 12 HPS Proposal as well as the process to be followed in soliciting additional proposals for financing or strategic alternatives from third parties. The Strategic Review Committee authorized the delivery of a counterproposal of Redbox to HPS and Apollo on March 13, 2022, which requested a $50 million incremental revolving credit facility from Apollo and HPS (the “March 13 Counterproposal”). The March 13 Counterproposal retained the right of HPS to consent to a sale of Redbox, but provided that, if the Strategic Review Committee determined that a sale of Redbox was for fair market value, such sale would be deemed to be reasonably acceptable to HPS.

On March 13, 2022, at the direction of Redbox, PJT Partners sent a non-disclosure agreement to Party 1.

Between March 14, 2022 and April 14, 2022, the chairman of the Strategic Review Committee conducted regular update calls with Redbox Management and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M.

On March 14, 2022, Redbox granted access to a virtual data room to share confidential information related to the financing for an additional potential financing party that executed a non-disclosure agreement with Redbox on the same day.

On March 16, 2022, Redbox received a detailed term sheet for an acquisition proposal from CSSE (the “March 16 CSSE Term Sheet”) which contemplated the assumption of Redbox’s existing indebtedness owed to HPS; an increase of the HPS indebtedness by $55 million to address Redbox’s near-term liquidity pressures; exclusivity; a 45 day go-shop period; and indemnification from Apollo for certain matters. The March 16 CSSE Term Sheet implied an equity valuation of Redbox of approximately $4.5 million, based on the trading prices of Redbox and CSSE at the time of delivery of the March 16 CSSE Term Sheet. The March 16 CSSE Term Sheet also proposed a $15 million termination fee in the event that Redbox decided to pursue an alternative transaction. HPS indicated to CSSE that it was supportive of the proposal outlined in the March 16 CSSE Term Sheet, which support CSSE conveyed to the advisors.

On March 16, 2022, after continued conversations with Apollo and HPS, Redbox provided a revised proposal to HPS and Apollo, which provided for (among other things) a $50 million incremental revolving

46

credit facility from HPS and that HPS would receive warrants for the issuance of equity securities not to exceed 19.9% of the voting and beneficial economic equity interests in Redbox (the “HPS Warrants”).

During the week of March 20, 2022, Redbox engaged in discussions with Party 2, a private equity firm, Party 3, a financial services firm, and Party 4, an investment bank, regarding a potential equity line of credit to sell shares at the market price. On March 21, 2022, Redbox received a proposal from Party 2 to purchase up to $75 million of common stock of Redbox over a term of up to 24 months, but not more than 19.9% of Redbox Common Stock, unless shareholder approval was obtained to issue additional shares (the “March 21 Party 2 Proposal”).

On March 20, 2022, Redbox received a revised financing proposal from HPS which provided for a $50 million incremental revolving credit facility from HPS, a signing deadline for a sale transaction of Redbox of April 15, 2022, and a $10 million cap on draws under the proposed incremental credit facility prior to the signing deadline. The terms of the proposal were otherwise similar to the terms of prior proposals received from HPS.

On March 21, 2022, Redbox received an indicative term sheet from Party 3 for a $25-50 million committed equity facility with a term of 18-36 months (the “March 21 Party 3 Proposal”).

On March 22, 2022, Redbox received a revised term sheet from CSSE (the “March 22 CSSE Term Sheet”) which provided for CSSE to acquire all outstanding shares of Redbox for (i) 1,000,000 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and (ii) 400,000 shares of CSSE preferred stock. The March 22 CSSE Term Sheet also proposed a 14-day exclusivity period and a $15 million termination fee in the event that Redbox decided to pursue an alternative transaction. The other terms of the March 22 CSSE Term Sheet were substantially the same as the terms in the March 16 CSSE Term Sheet.

On March 22, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners discussed with Apollo and Redbox management a potential minority preferred equity investment in Redbox by Party 5, a company in the theatrical exhibit business, and, with Redbox’s assistance and at its direction, PJT Partners subsequently began preparing materials to share with Party 5 with respect to such investment.

On March 23, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, Redbox sent to HPS a counterproposal which contemplated a June 30, 2022 signing deadline for either a sale transaction or entry into a binding commitment for $50 million of equity financing and/or subordinated debt financing. Redbox’s counterproposal also contemplated an extension of the signing deadline to March 2023 if the Strategic Review Committee decided that such sale transaction was not in the best interests of the loan parties and their relevant stakeholders, or that such sale transaction would otherwise be inconsistent with the exercise of the fiduciary duties of the members of the Strategic Review Committee.

On March 23, 2022, Party 1 and Redbox executed a non-disclosure agreement and Party 1 received materials with respect to a potential strategic investment in Redbox. Party 1 sent due diligence questions to Redbox on March 24, 2022 and Party 1, Redbox and PJT Partners had a due diligence call on March 25, 2022. On March 26, 2022, Redbox declined to share additional materials with Party 1 without receiving a proposal from Party 1 because Party 1 indicated that it would be unable to enter into a strategic transaction on an expedited basis.

On March 23, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners engaged with Party 6, a streaming television service provider, with respect to a potential strategic investment. On April 4, 2022, Party 6 declined the opportunity without signing a non-disclosure agreement or receiving any materials.

On March 23, 2022, Redbox received a due diligence request list from CSSE via CSSE’s financial advisor, Guggenheim Securities.

On March 24, 2022, Redbox management and Party 5 had a discussion with respect to potential commercial opportunities in addition to a potential strategic investment.

On March 24, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil and PJT Partners at which, among other things, the Strategic Review Committee authorized PJT Partners to begin engaging in due diligence with CSSE while Redbox continued to pursue other strategic alternatives in parallel, including the potential

47

equity line transaction with Party 2, a capital raise from Redbox’s existing stockholders, a debt financing transaction with HPS or another financing source and contingency planning for a potential restructuring. In connection with discussing a potential equity line of credit, the Strategic Review Committee discussed that the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 would require review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which could take an additional five to seven days post-filing and a minimum of four to five weeks before potential sales of the shares would occur subsequent to any such filing. Later on March 24, 2022, a member of the Strategic Review Committee, Weil and PJT Partners held a videoconference with HPS and its counsel to further discuss Redbox’s counterproposal sent to HPS on March 23, 2022.

Between March 24, 2022 and May 10, 2022, Redbox engaged with CSSE regarding CSSE’s due diligence requests.

On March 25, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners held a call with Party 4 to discuss the potential opportunity regarding a potential equity line of credit to sell shares at the market price, during which Party 4 declined to move forward with submitting a proposal.

On March 25, 2022, Redbox received revised financing proposals from each of HPS (the “March 25 HPS Proposal”) and Apollo (the “March 25 Apollo Debt Financing Proposal”). The March 25 HPS Proposal required that Redbox enter into a sale transaction by April 20, 2022 and capped draws under the incremental revolving credit facility at $10 million prior to such signing deadline. The March 25 HPS Proposal also provided that if definitive documents for a sale transaction were not executed by such date, the HPS Warrants would become exercisable. The March 25 Apollo Debt Financing Proposal contemplated that HPS would provide a $50 million incremental revolving credit facility and required that Redbox enter into either a sale transaction or equity financing commitment to repay the HPS Credit Agreement by June 30, 2022; if definitive documents for such a sale transaction or the equity financing commitment were not entered into or incremental loans were not paid in full by such date, the HPS Warrants would become exercisable. Additionally, the March 25 Apollo Debt Financing Proposal did not cap borrowing on the proposed $50 million incremental revolving credit facility pre-signing, and provided for an extension of the sale milestone to March 2023 if the Redbox Board exercised a termination right to enter into a superior proposal, and otherwise proposed terms substantially similar to previous financing proposals. That same day, Apollo provided an alternative proposal in connection with a proposed equity financing that contemplated a $50 million secured revolving loan from Apollo, Party 2 and Seaport (the “Second March 25 Apollo Debt Financing Proposal”). The Second March 25 Apollo Debt Financing Proposal contemplated that Apollo and Seaport would collectively receive an additional 19.9% of Redbox’s equity if Redbox did not receive equity proceeds sufficient to repay the incremental financing in full and terminate commitments by June 30, 2022. On March 27, 2022, Redbox sent Apollo a counterproposal which provided, among other things, that capital to be invested in Redbox would be in the form of preferred equity. On March 30, 2022, Apollo rejected Redbox’s terms and reaffirmed its willingness to engaged in a transaction on the terms of the Second March 25 Apollo Debt Financing Proposal.

Also on March 25, 2022, Redbox received a draft of a common stock purchase agreement and registration rights agreement from Party 2 in connection with the March 21 Party 2 Proposal. The common stock purchase agreement contemplated an approximately $75 million purchase of newly issued Redbox Class A Common Stock (i.e., 19.9% of Redbox Class A Common Stock, with the purchase of any shares above this cap requiring shareholder approval) and registration of such shares on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 by May 6, 2022. On March 27, 2022, Redbox executed a non-disclosure agreement with Party 2.

On March 28, 2022, Redbox shared an investor presentation and delivered an illustrative term sheet which outlined a $50 million convertible preferred equity investment opportunity to Party 5 (the “March 28 Party 5 Term Sheet”). Additionally, on March 29, 2022 and March 30, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners separately contacted Seaport and an investment firm, respectively, seeking potential equity financing, both of which declined to provide such financing.

On March 30, 2022, Redbox received comments from Party 2’s counsel on the common stock purchase agreement and registration rights agreement.

On March 31, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting, also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M at which,

48

among other things, PJT Partners reviewed with the Strategic Review Committee Redbox’s efforts to raise capital, the status of negotiations with HPS and Apollo regarding potential incremental financing and PJT Partners’ outreach efforts relating to debt and equity financing from third parties. The Strategic Review Committee discussed PJT Partners’ continued outreach efforts to strategic parties and also discussed the March 21 Party 2 Proposal and the March 25 HPS Proposal.

On March 31, 2022, Redbox was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”), which resulted in Redbox’s existing Registration Statement on Form S-1 being suspended for purposes of resales by selling stockholders of Redbox’s Class A Common Stock and warrants.

During this period, CSSE, together with Guggenheim, engaged in extensive due diligence regarding Redbox, which included videoconferences with Redbox, its Strategic Review Committee, and HPS.

On April 1, 2022, Redbox filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and disclosed that it was continuing to assess whether substantial doubt existed about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Form 12b-25 also disclosed that Redbox had been exploring a number of potential strategic alternatives with respect to Redbox’s corporate or capital structure and seeking financing to fund operations and one-time restructuring costs.

In early April 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners (i) engaged with Party 7, a publicly traded company that designs and sells home theatre systems, Party 8, a hardware digital media manufacturer and also a streaming media content provider, Party 9, a TV network, and Party 10, a global digital sports platform, with respect to a potential strategic investment in Redbox and (ii) again contacted Party 6, which informed PJT Partners that it did not wish to participate in a potential strategic investment.

On April 4, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, Redbox sent to HPS a financing counterproposal which provided for, among other things, an extension of the signing deadline for a sale transaction from April 20, 2022 to May 31, 2022, no interim cap on borrowings under the proposed incremental revolving credit facility, and a waiver of HPS’s consent rights over any sale transaction of Redbox that repaid HPS in full in cash. The terms of the counterproposal were otherwise similar to the March 25 HPS Proposal.

On April 5, 2022, Party 2 informed Redbox that it would not be able to proceed with the equity line financing transaction, as it was unable to secure approval from its internal investment committee.

On April 5, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M at which, among other things, the Strategic Review Committee discussed Redbox’s counterproposal to HPS, the CSSE proposal, Party 2’s decision not to pursue any transaction with Redbox and PJT Partners’ outreach to other potential third parties in respect of a Potential Financing Transaction.

On April 5, 2022, Party 5 rejected the March 28 Party 5 Term Sheet. On April 6, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners sent Party 5 a revised term sheet that provided for a convertible preferred investment of $25 million from Party 5 and $25 million from Apollo and other investors. However, Party 5 did not engage on the revised proposal.

Given Apollo’s majority voting interest in Redbox and certain consent rights pursuant to that certain Stockholders Agreement dated October 22, 2021 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), any sale transaction contemplated by the proposals received from HPS, such as the March 25 HPS Proposal, would require Apollo’s consent. On April 6, 2022, Apollo indicated to Weil that it would consent to such proposal if, among other things, the outstanding loan amount of Redbox under that certain credit facility with MUFG Union Bank (which loan is guaranteed by Apollo) would not exceed $5 million and any undrawn commitments thereunder would be terminated, and that any repayments of such facility would permanently terminate such commitments. Additionally, Apollo expressed its willingness to support any sale transaction approved by the Strategic Review Committee if certain specified conditions were satisfied.

On April 6, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners had an initial call with Party 8 to discuss the potential for a strategic investment in Redbox.

On April 6, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M at which, among other things, the Strategic Review Committee discussed the exchange ratio proposed by CSSE in the March 22 CSSE Term Sheet and the terms of a potential counterproposal to CSSE, as well as PJT Partners’ outreach efforts to Party 7, Party 8 and Party 9 as potential counterparties to a strategic investment in Redbox.

Later that day, Redbox responded to the March 22 CSSE Term Sheet and proposed that CSSE acquire all outstanding shares of Redbox Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 0.115 share of CSSE Class A Common Stock per share of Redbox Common Stock and 0.25 CSSE warrants per Redbox warrant and that the definitive documentation include a go-shop period for the Redbox Board to solicit alternative proposals for a sale transaction and a termination fee of $2 million.

On April 7, 2022, Redbox received the initial draft of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement from HPS, which provided, among other things, that (i) HPS would provide $10 million of incremental revolving credit financing at closing of the Sixth Amendment, and an additional $40 million of incremental revolving credit financing if an acceptable sale transaction was signed by April 30, 2022, or it would constitute an event of default under the HPS Credit Agreement, and that (ii) the sale transaction must be consummated by September 30, 2022, or it would constitute an event of default under the HPS Credit Agreement.

On April 7, 2022, Weil received access to a data room hosted by CSSE to review diligence materials requested by Redbox in contemplation of a potential sale transaction with CSSE providing for the payment of CSSE stock consideration to Redbox Stockholders.

On or around April 7, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, Redbox requested that Redwood LP grant a waiver of certain rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement among Redbox, Opco LLC and Redwood LP to any payments that would be due to Redwood LP in connection with a transaction that resulted in a change of control (within the meaning of the Tax Receivable Agreement).

On April 8, 2022, Redbox received a revised term sheet from CSSE (the “April 8 CSSE Term Sheet”), which provided for the holders of Redbox Common Stock to receive 2,000,000 newly issued shares of Series B preferred stock of CSSE with an implied value of approximately $20 million. The April 8 CSSE Term Sheet also provided for a “force-the-vote” construct whereby, in the event that a superior proposal was received by Redbox following execution of a merger agreement with CSSE, the Redbox Board could change its recommendation that Redbox Stockholders vote in favor of the CSSE transaction but Redbox would not be permitted to terminate the merger agreement with CSSE in order to accept the superior proposal and would still be required to hold the Redbox Stockholders Meeting seeking approval of the CSSE transaction. In such case, Apollo’s affiliates would be required to vote a specified percentage of their shares of Redbox Common Stock in favor of the transaction. The April 8 CSSE Term Sheet also rejected Redbox’s request for a go-shop period and included an exclusivity period of 14 days.

On April 8, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M at which, among other things, the Strategic Review Committee discussed an update on the status of negotiations with CSSE and Redbox’s request that Redwood LP waives certain rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement to any payments that would be due to Redwood LP in connection with a transaction that resulted in a change of control (within the meaning of the Tax Receivable Agreement).

On April 9, 2022, Redbox received feedback from Apollo on the April 8 CSSE Term Sheet and HPS’s proposal to provide financing. Apollo indicated that it would consent to a sale transaction provided that such sale transaction was on terms no less favorable than those set forth on the CSSE term sheet, and the following conditions were satisfied: (i) Redbox’s B-2 term loan would remain outstanding or be converted into stock in the surviving company in accordance with the April 8 CSSE Term Sheet, (ii) the transaction would provide for customary post-closing director and officer indemnification and insurance provisions, and (iii) there would be customary mutual releases among the parties.

On April 10, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, Redbox sent initial drafts to HPS and Apollo of (i) the Voting and Support Agreement among Redbox, Seaport and Apollo, (ii) the Omnibus Consent among Apollo, Seaport and HPS and (iii) the Waiver Under Tax Receivable Agreement

50

among Redbox, Redwood LP and Opco LLC in order to effect the terms of the HPS financing proposal, each as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed by Redbox on April 15, 2022.

On April 10, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, Redbox responded to HPS’s draft of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement. Redbox requested that HPS provide $15 million of incremental revolving credit financing at closing of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement, and an additional $35 million of incremental revolving credit financing if definitive documentation with respect to an acceptable sale transaction was signed by May 20, 2022. On April 11, 2022, Apollo responded to the Redbox revised draft of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement and indicated additional conditions for Apollo to agree to support any sale transaction, including customary registration rights for CSSE securities. In addition, Apollo indicated that Redwood LP would agree, in connection with the HPS financing, to waive any change of control under the Tax Receivable Agreement involving a change in the composition of the Redbox Board and, in connection with a strategic transaction that satisfies certain conditions, to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement in full and waive any rights to payments thereunder.

On April 10, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M at which, among other things, the Strategic Review Committee reviewed the status of negotiations with CSSE and Redbox’s alternatives to signing the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement, including filing for chapter 11.

On April 10, 2022, Redbox received an initial draft of the proposed Merger Agreement from CSSE which was substantially consistent with the terms of the April 8 CSSE Term Sheet.

During this period, CSSE continued its due diligence on Redbox with a focus on synergy analysis conducted with Guggenheim and Redbox.

Between April 11, 2022 and April 13, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, PJT Partners engaged in separate follow-up discussions with Party 7, Party 9 and Party 10 in respect of a potential strategic investment in Redbox. Following such discussions, Redbox and Party 9 executed a non-disclosure agreement and Party 10 informed PJT Partners that it would not proceed with the potential strategic investment opportunity. Thereafter, Party 9 was provided with materials with respect to a potential strategic investment and PJT Partners and Redbox engaged with Party 9 on due diligence matters.

On April 12, 2022, HPS responded to the revised draft of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement circulated by Redbox on April 10, 2022, and agreed to provide $15 million of incremental revolving credit financing at closing of the amendment and an additional $35 million of incremental revolving credit financing if definitive documentation with respect to an acceptable sale transaction with HPS was signed by April 30, 2022. Further, HPS’s proposal provided that such acceptable sale transaction would have to be consummated by October 31, 2022, or it would be an event of default under the HPS Credit Agreement.

On April 12, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M at which, among other things, the Strategic Review Committee discussed with Redbox’s advisors the terms of the April 8 CSSE Term Sheet and terms for a potential counterproposal to CSSE. The Strategic Review Committee also reviewed and discussed with Redbox’s advisors a preliminary, illustrative waterfall analysis of the projected recoveries prepared by A&M and the comparison of projected recoveries in an out-of-court transaction as compared to an in-court process. The Strategic Review Committee authorized Redbox to provide to CSSE the counterproposal on the terms discussed at the meeting. Later that day, Redbox sent to CSSE its revised proposal which provided options that would be acceptable to the Strategic Review Committee, including exchanging all of the outstanding Redbox Common Stock for (i) 2,711,000 newly issued shares of Series B preferred stock of CSSE with liquidation preference of $20 per share and dividend rate of 5%, (ii) CSSE Class A Common Stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.055 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock per share of Redbox Common Stock and warrants in CSSE based on an exchange ratio of 0.125 warrants per share of Redbox Common Stock or (iii) CSSE Class A Common Stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.055 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock per share of Redbox Common Stock and 800,000 shares of CSSE Series A Preferred Stock with liquidation preference of $25 of share and dividend rate of

51

9.75%. The revised Redbox proposal also provided for the option of Redbox to be the surviving issuer and CSSE stockholders to receive Redbox Common Stock in an exchange, such that former Redbox Stockholders would retain approximately 18.25% of the surviving combined company, without taking into effect dilution for Apollo’s B-2 term loan being converted into stock in the surviving company. The Redbox proposal further provided for a customary fiduciary-out provision, a go-shop provision and eliminated the exclusivity period in exchange for an increased termination fee of $5 million.

On April 13, 2022, CSSE sent to Redbox a revised proposal reflecting Redbox as the surviving issuer in the proposed transaction (the “April 13 CSSE Term Sheet”). The April 13 CSSE Term Sheet provided that that former Redbox Stockholders would retain approximately 18.25% of the surviving combined company, provided that such amount would be on a fully-diluted basis (and would take into account dilution for Apollo’s B-2 term loan being converted into stock in the surviving company). The April 15 CSSE Term Sheet again proposed a “force-the vote” construct and 14-day exclusivity period, and provided that, in the event that Redbox exercised its right to change its recommendation, CSSE would receive a $2 million termination fee.

On April 13, 2022, at the direction of the Strategic Review Committee, Redbox responded to HPS’s revised draft of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement and requested that HPS provide $15 million of incremental revolving credit financing at closing of the amendment, and an additional $35 million of revolving credit financing if definitive documentation for an acceptable transaction was signed by May 10, 2022 (rather than April 30, 2022). HPS agreed to these requested changes in a revised draft of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement sent to Redbox on April 14, 2022.

On April 14, 2022, a representative on behalf of Redbox contacted Party 11, a multinational electronics corporation, regarding a potential strategic investment in Redbox. A follow-up outreach was made on April 18, 2022 and again on April 23, 2022, and Party 11 declined to engage in further discussions.

On April 14, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners and A&M at which, among other things, the Redbox Board and the Strategic Review Committee discussed the merits and advisability of Redbox entering into the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement in light of, among other things, Redbox’s liquidity position and the lack of other better or viable debt or equity financing transactions or other alternatives available to Redbox. After PJT Partners provided its summary of its efforts to engage in discussions with potential third party financing sources, the Strategic Review Committee determined that there were no actionable financing options preferable to the financing proposed by HPS in the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement. Members of the Strategic Review Committee discussed, among other things, (i) Redbox’s need for liquidity, absent which, Redbox would likely need to file for bankruptcy and (ii) the additional time negotiated for under the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement to execute a sale transaction or other agreement (which provided that Redbox would be required to execute a sale transaction on or before May 10, 2022 (rather than April 30, 2022)), both of which supported their decision to approve entering into the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement. The Strategic Review Committee also discussed Redbox’s entry into certain ancillary agreements including the Voting and Support Agreement, the Waiver under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the Omnibus Consent and approved Redbox entering into the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement and related ancillary agreements. Following such approval, a meeting of the Redbox Board was held to update the Board on the Strategic Review Committee’s decision.

On April 15, 2022, Redbox executed the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement which provided up to $50 million in additional financing with $15 million of incremental revolving loan commitments made available on April 15, 2022, and an additional $35 million to be made available if an acceptable transaction was signed by May 10, 2022. Redbox: (a) simultaneously signed the Voting and Support Agreement with Apollo and its affiliates, which provided that Apollo would vote (i) in favor of any transaction approved and recommended by the Redbox Board, subject to satisfying certain conditions, (ii) against any transaction involving Redbox that had not been approved and recommended by the Redbox Board, and (iii) in favor of any directors that were proposed or nominated to the Redbox Board by Redbox at any annual meeting of Redbox; (b) agreed to implement certain changes to its board of directors; and (c) issued to HPS the HPS Warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock not to exceed 19.9% of Redbox’s outstanding Equity Interests

52

(as defined in the Warrant Agreement). The stockholder parties to the Stockholders Agreement agreed to provide such consents as required under the Stockholders Agreement, and to waive certain rights, as applicable, under the Stockholders Agreement, or under any other applicable organizational document, stockholder agreement, investor rights or similar agreement of Redbox as to which the stockholder may be a party to or beneficiary of, in connection with its agreement to support a transaction. Upon signing the Merger Agreement, the HPS Warrants would become void and all rights and interests of the HPS warrant holders would no longer be in effect thereunder. In connection with entry into the Voting Rights Agreement, pursuant to the Waiver Under Tax Receivable Agreement acknowledged by Redbox and Opco LLC, Redwood LP agreed to permanently and irrevocably waive certain rights to a potentially material payment that would be due to Redwood LP in connection with certain current and future changes of control (within the meaning of the Tax Receivable Agreement, to the extent involving changes in the membership of the board of directors of Redbox). In addition, under the Voting and Support Agreement, Redbox and Redwood LP agreed, in connection with the consummation of a transaction, to (a) terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement upon the consummation of a Transaction and (b) waive all claims under the Tax Receivable Agreement with such waiver being effective upon the consummation of such transaction. In connection with executing the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement and the Voting and Support Agreement, Redbox, Apollo and HPS also agreed that the B-2 term loan would be converted into stock in the surviving company in a sale transaction (the “B-2 Exchange”) and that the parties would execute customary mutual releases among CSSE, Redbox, HPS, and Apollo (the “Mutual Release”) in connection with signing definitive documents for a sale transaction.

On April 15, 2022, Redbox sent to CSSE a revised proposal which increased the consideration that Redbox Stockholders would receive to result in former Redbox Stockholders retaining approximately 21% of the surviving combined company on a fully-diluted basis and increased the termination fee to $6 million in exchange for dropping the “force-the vote” construct and the exclusivity period.

That same day, Redbox received a revised proposal back from CSSE (the “April 15 CSSE Term Sheet”). The Strategic Review Committee reviewed and discussed with Redbox’s advisors the April 15 CSSE Term Sheet, which accepted the structure of Redbox as the surviving issuer and CSSE stockholders receiving Redbox Common Stock in an exchange, such that former Redbox Stockholders would retain approximately 21.9% of the surviving combined company, with such percentage determined on a fully-diluted basis (and would take into account dilution for Apollo’s B-2 term loan being converted into stock in the surviving company). The April 15 CSSE Term Sheet again proposed a “force-the vote” construct and 14-day exclusivity period, and provided that, in the event that Redbox exercised its right to change its recommendation, CSSE would receive a $2 million termination fee.

On April 17, 2022, Redbox sent to CSSE a revised proposal which increased the consideration that Redbox Stockholders would receive to result in former Redbox Stockholders retaining approximately 23.5% of the surviving combined company on a fully-diluted basis and increased the termination fee to $6 million in exchange for dropping the “force-the vote” construct and the exclusivity period. Later that night, CSSE agreed to eliminate the “force-the vote” construct and the exclusivity period in exchange for a $15 million termination fee (the “Final CSSE Term Sheet”).

On April 17, 2022, the Strategic Review Committee held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil and PJT Partners at which, among other things, the Strategic Review Committee discussed with Redbox’s advisors the Final CSSE Term Sheet and authorized Redbox to send CSSE a non-binding letter of intent, together with the Final CSSE Term Sheet. On April 17, 2022, Guggenheim Securities informed PJT Partners that CSSE was prepared to move forward with the proposed transaction on the terms outlined in the Final CSSE Term Sheet.

In accordance with the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement, on April 17, 2022 Messrs. Jay Burnham, Emanuel R. Pearlman, Reed Rayman, Michael Redd, David B. Sambur, Lee J. Solomon, and Charles Yamarone each resigned from the Redbox Board and the Strategic Review Committee was dissolved. Messrs. Gregory Frenzel, Neal Goldman, and Robert Warshauer, who were all determined to be independent, were appointed to the Redbox Board as of April 18, 2022.

On April 19, 2022 the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil and PJT Partners at which, among other things,

53

the Redbox Board reviewed with its advisors the history of the financing and the strategic review process and discussed the parties that PJT Partners had contacted to seek financing as well as the parties that PJT Partners contacted in connection with a potential strategic transaction. The Redbox Board instructed PJT Partners to continue to seek to engage with potential counterparties to a potential strategic transaction with Redbox. The Redbox Board discussed with its advisors the potential retention of Duff & Phelps to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the potential transaction with CSSE. On April 20, 2022, Redbox and Duff & Phelps executed an engagement letter for Duff & Phelps to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the proposed transaction between Redbox and CSSE.

On April 21, 2022, CSSE held a regularly scheduled meeting of the CSSE Board at which the CSSE Board was provided an update by CSSE’s management on the potential acquisition of Redbox.

On April 22, 2022, at the direction of Redbox, PJT Partners contacted Party 9 to discuss a potential strategic investment in Redbox.

Also on April 22, 2022, Redbox and CSSE, together with their respective advisors, discussed certain issues regarding the structure of the proposed transaction, and agreed to revise the structure to have CSSE as the acquirer, without altering any economic or other terms. On April 24, 2022, Redbox sent a revised draft of the Merger Agreement to CSSE reflecting the structure of CSSE acquiring Redbox with the same economic and other terms as previously agreed between Redbox and CSSE.

Between April 23, 2022 and April 25, 2022, at the direction of the Redbox Board, PJT Partners contacted 9 additional potential financial buyers, 7 of which declined to pursue a potential acquisition opportunity. Also on April 25, 2022, Party 9 submitted additional due diligence questions after receiving internal approval to engage in further discussions with Redbox. Redbox responded to these additional questions on April 27, 2022.

Between April 25, 2022 and April 28, 2022, Weil circulated (i) to CSSE, HPS and Apollo a draft agreement to effect the B-2 Exchange (the “B-2 Exchange Agreement”) and a draft agreement terminating the Tax Receivable Agreement at closing of a definitive transaction (the “TRA Amendment”) and (ii) to CSSE, HPS, Apollo and Seaport a draft Mutual Release (the “Release Agreement”). Between April 25, 2022 and May 10, 2022, Redbox, CSSE, HPS, Apollo and Seaport negotiated and finalized the B-2 Exchange Agreement, TRA Amendment and Release Agreement.

On April 26, 2022 and April 27, 2022, the Redbox Board held videoconference meetings also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil and PJT Partners at which, among other things, the Redbox Board reviewed with its advisors the status of the documentation on the proposed transaction with CSSE, including the negotiation with CSSE of the terms relating to the termination fee and fiduciary out provisions. The Redbox Board directed Redbox to request an extension of the May 10, 2022 signing deadline for a sale transaction from HPS under the HPS Credit Agreement to allow Redbox additional time to pursue options for alternative financing or a potential sale transaction with parties other than CSSE.

On April 28, 2022, Redbox requested a 30-day extension of the signing deadline for a sale transaction from HPS under the HPS Credit Agreement and that HPS advance funds under the incremental facility for budgeted expenditures through such extended deadline. On April 29, 2022, HPS responded to the extension request with a list of questions with respect to, among others, the additional funding Redbox expected to need during the proposed extension period.

On April 28, 2022, an investment services company requested and signed a non-disclosure agreement following an initial call with PJT Partners.

On April 29, 2022, Redbox received a revised draft of the Merger Agreement from CSSE, which generally was consistent with the Final CSSE Term Sheet, as modified by discussions between the parties.

On April 29, 2022, the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners, Duff & Phelps and A&M at which, among other things, the Redbox Board reviewed with its advisors the status of the documentation on the proposed transaction with CSSE, PJT Partners’ continued outreach efforts to other potential strategic

54

or financial transaction counterparties and contingency planning for a chapter 11 filing if the potential transaction with CSSE could not be agreed and signed.

On May 3, 2022, the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners, A&M and Duff & Phelps at which, among other things, the Redbox Board reviewed with its advisors the status of the documentation on the proposed transaction with CSSE, PJT Partners’ continued outreach efforts to other potential strategic transaction counterparties, Redbox’s discussion with HPS regarding the extension of the signing deadline for a sale transaction and PJT Partners’ previous discussions with Party 2 regarding a potential committed equity line transaction and whether such discussions could be reopened. The Redbox Board discussed the current trading price of the Redbox Class A Common Stock and discussed whether any alternative transaction to raise additional equity funding could be pursued at this time. Representatives of PJT Partners highlighted potential execution risks associated with alternatives to the CSSE transaction, including, among other things, the elevated level of risk an investor would be required to accept, the size of the investment that would be required to address Redbox’s liquidity needs, the potential disclosure and timing requirements to put in place an effective registration statement required by such investment and the attendant impact any such investment may have on negotiations with CSSE, and the deadline under the credit agreement with HPS. Representatives of PJT Partners discussed with the Redbox Board the considerations relating to a potential transaction with CSSE if Redbox obtained additional time from HPS to seek to pursue an equity raise solution. Representatives of A&M reviewed its preliminary, illustrative waterfall analysis of the projected recoveries to stakeholders in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case versus an out-of-court merger transaction. Representatives of PJT Partners further discussed with the Redbox Board the potential benefits of the CSSE transaction compared to a chapter 11 scenario.

On May 3, 2022, Redbox provided responses to HPS with respect to its questions regarding an extension of the May 10, 2022 deadline to execute a definitive documentation for a sale transaction.

On May 3, 2022, Redbox executed non-disclosure agreements with Party 8 and Party 12, a private equity company.

On May 4, 2022, a special meeting of the CSSE Board was held via videoconference at which members of senior management of CSSE also attended to discuss the proposed transactions between CSSE and Redbox. At this meeting, the members of the CSSE Board were presented with a current draft of the Merger Agreement and information materials relating to the terms of the proposed transactions, the business and operations of Redbox, management’s evaluation of the synergies between CSSE and Redbox, information relating to the capital and debt structure of Redbox (and the combined companies following the proposed transactions), and various risks related to the transactions. It was noted by management of CSSE to the CSSE Board that the transactions were still being evaluated by CSSE, were not yet definitive, and terms were still being negotiated and that the CSSE Board was not being asked to approve any transactions at this meeting.

On May 5, 2022, HPS declined to grant Redbox’s request for the 30-day extension of the May 10, 2022 signing deadline for definitive documentation for a sale transaction.

On May 6, 2022, Redbox received a revised draft of the CSSE Disclosure Schedule. Between May 6, 2022 and May 10, 2022, Redbox and CSSE negotiated and finalized the CSSE Disclosure Schedule.

On May 6, 2022, the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners, A&M and Duff & Phelps at which, among other things, representatives of Weil reviewed with the Redbox Board the fiduciary duties of the Redbox

55

Board, representatives of PJT Partners provided the Redbox Board with an update on the process in respect of the potential transaction with CSSE, including the status of CSSE’s due diligence process and reverse due diligence findings regarding CSSE. Representatives of PJT Partners also presented to the Redbox Board a preliminary and illustrative financial analysis regarding the potential transaction with CSSE and a public market overview. Representatives of Duff & Phelps then provided the Redbox Board with a preliminary fairness analysis regarding the potential transaction with CSSE. Representatives of Weil then provided the Redbox Board with an overview of the key legal diligence findings as well an overview of key transaction terms with respect to the potential transaction with CSSE. Representatives of A&M provided the Redbox Board with a liquidity and cash flow update.

On May 9, 2022, the CSSE Board held a special meeting via videoconference at which the Board was updated that the negotiations had made meaningful progress that day. Members of senior management of CSSE and representatives of Guggenheim Securities also attended, at which, among other things, representatives of Guggenheim Securities reviewed their preliminary financial analysis of the potential transaction with Redbox with the CSSE Board. The CSSE Board reviewed and discussed with its financial advisor the key business-related due diligence findings on Redbox, and the Binding Commitment Letter with HPS with respect to the New Credit Agreement. During the meeting, representatives of Guggenheim Securities informed the CSSE Board that Guggenheim Securities has reviewed the potential transaction with its Fairness Opinion and Valuation Committee earlier in the day and was prepared, subject to review of the final terms of the transaction and the definitive documentation for the transaction, to deliver to the CSSE Board an opinion as to the fairness of the exchange ratio for the potential transaction from a financial point of view, to CSSE.

On May 9, 2022, the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners, A&M and Duff & Phelps at which, among other things, representatives of PJT Partners presented to the Redbox Board an update to its preliminary and illustrative financial analysis of the potential transaction with CSSE. Representatives of Weil reviewed and discussed the Redbox Board’s fiduciary duties under Delaware law. Representatives of Duff & Phelps then presented the Redbox Board with an update of the fairness analysis regarding the potential transaction with CSSE. Representatives of Weil then presented the Redbox Board with an overview of the key legal diligence findings and an overview of key transaction terms with respect to the potential transaction with CSSE. Representatives of A&M provided the Redbox Board with a liquidity and cash flow forecast update. The Redbox Board then discussed Redbox’s ongoing liquidity issues, the process undertaken by Redbox and its advisors to explore strategic alternatives to the CSSE transaction, the lack of any actionable alternative that would offer greater value to Redbox Stockholders, Redbox’s efforts to seek additional time from HPS to explore strategic alternatives, the analysis presented by PJT Partners, the analysis presented by Duff & Phelps, Redbox’s ability to respond to a superior proposal if one should emerge after announcement of the CSSE transaction, and the impact to stakeholder recoveries in the absence of such transaction, including the likelihood that there would be no value for the Redbox Stockholders in the event of a bankruptcy filing, as well as the potential destruction of value for other stakeholders in the event of a bankruptcy filing, and potential harm to Redbox’s critical commercial relationships in the event of a bankruptcy filing. Following the discussion, the Redbox Board concluded that the CSSE transaction was the best alternative available to Redbox and its stockholders in light of all the circumstances, including the lack of any actionable alternatives, an imminent default under the HPS Credit Agreement and the likelihood of a bankruptcy filing in the absence of the CSSE transaction, and that pursuit of the CSSE transaction would be in the best interests of Redbox, its stockholders and other stakeholders. The Redbox Board also discussed Redbox’s entry into the Release Agreement, and representatives of Weil provided an overview and answered questions regarding potential claims that would be released pursuant thereto. The Redbox Board discussed and determined that, in light of the circumstances facing Redbox, the benefits and value of agreeing to the Release Agreement contemplated by the CSSE transaction in order to execute a value maximizing transaction for the benefit of the Redbox and its stockholders as well as other stakeholders, outweighed the risk of not agreeing to the release of claims and losing the opportunity to execute a value-maximizing transaction.

On May 10, 2022, the Redbox Board held a videoconference meeting also attended by members of senior management of Redbox and representatives of Weil, PJT Partners, A&M and Duff & Phelps at which, among other things, representatives of Weil reviewed and discussed the Redbox Board’s fiduciary

56

duties under Delaware law. The Redbox Board then reviewed and discussed with its advisors the key due diligence findings on CSSE, the key terms of the Merger Agreement, the ancillary documents and the Binding Commitment Letter with HPS. During the meeting, representatives of Duff & Phelps delivered to the Redbox Board an oral opinion (later confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated May 10, 2022) that, as of that date and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in such written opinion, the consideration to be received by the Redbox public stockholders (the holders of the Redbox Class A Common Stock) in the CSSE transaction is fair from a financial point of view to Redbox Stockholders (without giving effect to any impact of the CSSE transaction on any particular stockholder other than in its capacity as a stockholder). The opinion does not address, from a financial point of view, consideration received by any holder of Redbox Class B Common Stock or any Redbox warrant holder. The opinion of Duff & Phelps is more fully described in the section entitled “The Mergers — Opinion of Redbox’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page [•]. The Redbox Board again discussed the process undertaken by Redbox and its advisors to explore strategic alternatives to the CSSE transaction, the lack of any actionable alternative that would offer greater value to the Redbox Stockholders, Redbox’s efforts to seek additional time from HPS to explore strategic alternatives, and the impact to stakeholder recoveries in the absence of such transaction, including the likelihood that there would be no value for the Redbox Stockholders in the event of a bankruptcy filing, as well as the potential destruction of value for other stakeholders in the event of a bankruptcy filing, and potential harm to Redbox’s critical commercial counterparties. The Redbox Board reaffirmed its prior conclusion that the proposed transactions with CSSE was the best alternative available to Redbox and its stockholders in light of all the circumstances, and, with the advice and assistance of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel and Redbox’s management, the Redbox Board evaluated and discussed the terms of the Merger Agreement, the ancillary documents, the Binding Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated thereby, taking into consideration a variety of factors, including those described in the section entitled “The Mergers — Recommendations of the Redbox Board and Its Reasons for the Transactions” beginning on page [•], and unanimously (i) declared that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions (including the Integrated Mergers) were in the best interests of, the Redbox Stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions (including the Integrated Mergers) and (iii) recommended that the Redbox Stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Integrated Mergers, at a duly held meeting of the Redbox Stockholders called for such purpose.

On May 10, 2022, the CSSE Board held a meeting via videoconference that was also attended by members of senior management of CSSE and representatives of Graubard Miller, counsel to CSSE, at which, among other things, the CSSE Board reviewed and discussed with its legal advisors the key due diligence findings on Redbox, the key terms of the Merger Agreement, the ancillary documents and the Binding Commitment Letter with HPS with respect to the New Credit Agreement. The CSSE Board, taking into consideration a variety of factors, including those described in the section entitled “The Mergers —  Recommendations of the CSSE Board and Its Reasons for the Transactions” beginning on page [•], unanimously (i) declared that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions (including the Integrated Mergers) were in the best interests of, the CSSE Stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions (including the Integrated Mergers) and (iii) recommended that the CSSE Stockholders approve the issuance of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued in exchange for the outstanding Redbox Class A Common Stock, and Opco LLC Units and to be reserved for issuance under the existing Redbox public and private warrants.

Also on May 10, 2022, Guggenheim Securities delivered a written opinion to the CSSE Board dated as of May 10, 2022, to the effect that, as of such date, and based on and subject to the matters considered, the procedures followed, the assumptions made and various limitations of and qualifications to the review undertaken, as described in such written opinion, the Exchange Ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to CSSE. The opinion is more fully described in the section entitled “The Mergers — Opinion of CSSE’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page [•] and the full text of the Guggenheim Securities’ opinion is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus.

Following the meetings of the CSSE Board and the Redbox Board, the parties and their respective advisors worked to finalize and, on the night of May 10, 2022, execute the Merger Agreement (and the related CSSE disclosure letter and the Redbox disclosure letter), the TRA Amendment, the Release Agreement, the B-2 Exchange Agreement as well as the Binding Commitment Letter, which attached an

57

amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement to be entered into between CSSE and HPS at the closing of the transaction. Shortly following receipt of the executed Merger Agreement, CSSE delivered the Written Consent of CSSE Controlling Shareholder to Redbox, which satisfied CSSE’s requirement under the Merger Agreement to provide the executed Written Consent within twenty-four hours of execution of the Merger Agreement.

On the morning of May 11, 2022, prior to the opening of trading of Redbox Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq, Redbox and CSSE issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement.

Recommendation of the CSSE Board and Reasons for the Mergers

At a meeting held on May 10, 2022, the CSSE Board unanimously determined that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were in the best interests of, and were advisable to, CSSE and its stockholders, approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, directed that the CSSE Stock Issuance proposal be submitted to CSSE Stockholders for approval as acquired by Nasdaq rules, and resolved to recommend that CSSE Stockholders approve the CSSE Stock Issuance. The CSSE Board unanimously recommended that CSSE Stockholders vote “FOR” the CSSE Stock Issuance proposal.

In deciding to approve the Merger Agreement and to recommend that CSSE Stockholders approve the CSSE Stock Issuance proposal, the CSSE Board consulted with CSSE’s management and financial and legal advisors and considered several factors.

The CSSE Board considered a number of factors when evaluating the Mergers, many of which support the CSSE Board’s determination that the Mergers and the other related transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were in the best interests of, and were advisable to, CSSE and its stockholders. The CSSE Board considered these factors as a whole and without assigning relative weights to each such factor, and overall considered the relevant factors to be favorable to, and in support of, its determinations and recommendations. These factors included:

•

the belief that the Mergers will be accretive on key financial metrics beginning in 2022, including cash flow and free cash flow per share, earnings per share and return on capital employed;

•

the belief that the combined company will benefit from increased cash flows, further strengthening CSSE’s investment framework by creating a more robust free cash flow profile;

•

the belief that the Mergers will result in annual cost savings of approximately $[•] million through operational efficiencies and reductions in general and administrative and interest expenses, with an expected present value in excess of $[•] over a ten-year period;

•

the belief that the combined company will provide consumers with a powerful and differentiated media platform through the scaled combination of Redbox’s 40 million loyalty members and nationwide footprint of 38,000 rental kiosks and CSSE’s 40 million MAUs and leading film and TV AVOD library;

•

the perceived synergies between the companies, including potential revenue generation through marketing and cross-selling across the companies’ respective large customer bases and larger combined library, cost savings with respect to combined library content and new content acquisition and general and administrative savings as a singular public company, including in the areas of insurance, executive compensation, marketing payroll and non-payroll savings;

•

the belief that the combined company will use CSSE’s wide content libraries, technology platform and expertise to accelerate the transaction of Redbox’s operation from physical to digital;

•

that CSSE will continue to be led by the current experienced CSSE management team and that the addition of key employees of Redbox in connection with the Mergers will add valuable expertise and experience and in-depth familiarity with Redbox’s assets and operations, which will enhance the likelihood of attaining the strategic benefits that CSSE expects to derive from the Mergers;

•

the terms of the Merger Agreement, including the structure of the transaction and the conditions to each party’s obligation to complete the Mergers;

58

•

the belief that the restrictions imposed on CSSE’s business and operations during the pendency of the Mergers are reasonable and not unduly burdensome;

•

that the Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not fluctuate in the event that the market price of Redbox Class A Common Stock increases relative to the market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Mergers;

•

the likelihood of consummation of the Mergers and the CSSE Board’s evaluation of the likely time frame necessary to close the Mergers;

•

the CSSE Board’s knowledge of, and discussions with CSSE management and its advisors regarding, CSSE’s and Redbox’s business operations, financial conditions, results of operations and prospects, taking into account CSSE’s due diligence investigation of Redbox;

•

that certain Redbox Stockholders holding, as of May 8, 2022, approximately [•]% of the combined voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Redbox Common Stock have entered into voting agreements obligating such stockholders to vote or cause to be voted, as applicable, all of their shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, as more fully described in the sections titled “Redbox Special Meeting — Voting and Support Agreement with Redbox Principal Holders;” and

•

the written opinion of Guggenheim Securities to the CSSE Board, dated as of May 10, 2022, to the effect that, as of such date, and based on and subject to the matters considered, the procedures followed, the assumptions made and various limitations of and qualifications to the review undertaken, the Exchange Ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to CSSE. The full text of Guggenheim Securities’ opinion is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus. For more information, see “The Mergers — Opinion of CSSE’s Financial Advisor.”

The CSSE Board also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Merger Agreement and the related transactions contemplated thereby. These factors included:

•

the possibility that the Mergers may not be completed or that completion may be unduly delayed for reasons beyond the control of CSSE or Redbox;

•

that the Exchange Ratio in the Merger Agreement provides for a fixed number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and, as such, CSSE Stockholders cannot be certain prior to closing of the transactions of the market value of the Merger Consideration to be paid, and the possibility that CSSE Stockholders could be adversely affected in the event that the market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock increases relative to the market price of Redbox Class A Common Stock between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Mergers;

•

that there are significant risks inherent in integrating the operations of Redbox into CSSE, including that the expected synergies may not be realized, and that successful integration will require the dedication of significant management resources, which will temporarily detract attention from the day-to-day businesses of the combined company;

•

that CSSE will be increasing its indebtedness through Redbox’s existing credit facilities and the New Credit Facility by an aggregate of $[•] million;

•

that the Mergers might not be completed as a result of a failure to satisfy the conditions contained in the Merger Agreement;

•

that Redbox’s obligation to close the Mergers is conditioned on the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox Class B Common Stock, voting together as one class, with respect to the Redbox Merger Proposal;

•

Redbox’s ability, under certain circumstances, to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, provided that Redbox concurrently with such termination pays to CSSE a termination fee of $15 million;

•

the substantial costs to be incurred in connection with the Mergers, including the costs of integrating the businesses of CSSE and Redbox;

59

•

that certain Redbox directors and executive officers have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Redbox Stockholders generally, including, among others, severance rights and rights to continuing indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance described in the section titled “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers”;

•

the possibility that the $15 million Redbox Termination Fee that Redbox would be required to pay under the Merger Agreement upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances would be insufficient to compensate CSSE for its costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the loss of alternative opportunities;

•

the possibility of losing key employees and skilled workers as a result of the expected consolidation of CSSE’s and Redbox’s personnel when the Mergers are completed; and

•

other risks of the type and nature described in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

This discussion of the information and factors considered by the CSSE Board in reaching its conclusion and recommendations includes all of the material factors considered by the CSSE Board but is not intended to be exhaustive and is not provided in any specific order or ranking. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the CSSE Board in evaluating the Merger Agreement and the related transactions contemplated thereby, and the complexity of these matters, the CSSE Board did not find it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weight to those factors. In addition, different members of the CSSE Board may have given different weight to different factors. The CSSE Board did not reach any specific conclusion with respect to any of the factors considered and instead conducted an overall analysis of such factors and determined that, in the aggregate, the potential benefits considered outweighed the potential risks or possible negative consequences of approving the Merger Agreement and the issuance of CSSE Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

It should be noted that this explanation of the reasoning of the CSSE Board and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Recommendation of the Redbox Board and Reasons for the Mergers

By unanimous vote at a meeting held on May 10, 2022, the Redbox Board (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, are in the best interests of Redbox and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, and (iii) recommended that Redbox Stockholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Integrated Mergers, at a duly held meeting of the Redbox Stockholders called for such purpose. The Redbox Board unanimously recommends that the Redbox Stockholders vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Redbox Adjournment Proposal.

In evaluating the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other transaction documents (including the Transactions contemplated by those documents), the Redbox Board consulted with Redbox’s senior management, outside legal counsel and financial advisors. The Redbox Board determined that entering into the Merger Agreement with CSSE provided the best alternative reasonably available to Redbox for maximizing stockholder value, including when compared to continuing to operate on a stand-alone basis and other available, actionable alternatives, including strategic combinations with other counterparties and potential financing opportunities.

In recommending that Redbox Stockholders vote their shares of Redbox Common Stock to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, the Redbox Board also considered a number of factors, including the following, non-exhaustive list of factors (and not necessarily in order of relative importance):

Consideration.   The Redbox Board considered that the acquisition by CSSE provides, in the view of the Redbox Board, (a) the highest consideration payable to Redbox Stockholders that was reasonably obtainable and (b) a price per share of Redbox Class A Common Stock that was unlikely to be achieved on a standalone basis in the near future given Redbox’s liquidity requirements.

60

Financing.   The Redbox Board considered Redbox’s standalone business plan, financial projections and the risks associated with Redbox’s ability to meet such projections and to execute on its strategic plan given that additional financing, beyond an initial $15 million draw, under the terms of the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement was conditioned on Redbox entering into a sale transaction with a counterparty reasonably acceptable to HPS by May 10, 2022, and that Redbox did not have any alternative sources of debt or equity financing despite efforts to obtain such financing.

Impact on Redbox if a Sale Transaction was not Executed.   The Redbox Board considered that the Sixth Amendment to the HPS Credit Agreement required definitive documentation for a sale transaction to be executed by May 10, 2022; failure to enter into an acceptable sale transaction by such date would be an event of default under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement and would trigger (i) the required lenders’ right thereunder to (a) increase the applicable interest rate by 2.0% and/or (b) accelerate the loans thereunder and require repayment thereof, together with the applicable make-whole amount thereunder, (ii) the issuance of 19.9% of Redbox’s equity to HPS under the HPS Warrants upon exercise thereof, and (iii) the payment of a 4.0% amendment fee.

Avoidance of Chapter 11.   The Redbox Board considered that (i) based on advice provided by its advisors, a chapter 11 filing would likely result in no recovery to holders of Redbox Common Stock and Redbox’s creditors’ claims being impaired, as compared to an out-of-court transaction, which would likely result in greater value to the holders of Redbox Common Stock and creditors of Redbox than a chapter 11 filing, and (ii) avoidance of a value-destructive bankruptcy filing would better maintain relationships with Redbox’s studio partners, customers and other vendors.

Potential Synergies.   The Redbox Board considered significant cost and revenue synergy opportunities with CSSE, including a unique physical and digital distribution platform and the opportunity to leverage common owned and committed content assets, existing partnerships and access to licensed content.

Termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement.   The Redbox Board considered that, in connection with entering into a Merger Agreement with CSSE, affiliates of Apollo agreed to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement and waive certain payments which would have otherwise been triggered upon a “change in control” under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Potential Strategic Alternatives.   The Redbox Board considered (1) potential alternatives to the acquisition by CSSE, including the possibility of continuing to operate Redbox as an independent entity, filing for bankruptcy, raising equity capital and/or obtaining additional financing and the availability and risks of such alternatives, (2) the potential benefits to Redbox Stockholders of these alternatives and the timing and likelihood of effecting such alternatives, including the impact to stakeholder recoveries in the absence of the CSSE transaction, the likelihood that there would be no value for the Redbox Stockholders in the event of a bankruptcy filing, as well as the potential destruction of value for other stakeholders in a bankruptcy, and potential harm to Redbox’s critical commercial relationships resulting from a bankruptcy filing, (3) the Redbox Board’s assessment that, besides a chapter 11 filing, none of the alternatives considered by the Redbox Board and the Redbox management was reasonably likely to be capable of being consummated prior to the deadline imposed by HPS to enter into a sale transaction or to provide greater certainty and value for Redbox Stockholders and other stakeholders than the CSSE transaction and (4) the fact that Redbox negotiated for a later deadline and HPS declined to grant Redbox’s request for an extension of the May 10, 2022 signing deadline for definitive documentation for a sale transaction.

Fixed Exchange Ratio; Certainty of Value.   The Redbox Board considered the fact that the Merger Consideration involves a fixed exchange ratio, providing Redbox Stockholders with certainty as to the consideration to be received in the Mergers and liquidity between signing of the Merger Agreement and the Closing, in comparison to the risks, uncertainty and potential need to file for chapter 11 as would be inherent in remaining a standalone company in light of the circumstances, including the lack of any actionable strategic alternatives, lack of liquidity and an imminent default under the HPS Credit Agreement coupled with an absence of any other viable source of financing to continue the business.

Potential Interested Counterparties.   The Redbox Board considered that, since February 2022, at the direction of Redbox, PJT Partners communicated with 26 potential counterparties with respect to a third party financing and 9 potential counterparties regarding an alternative strategic transaction and that Redbox

61

had not received any actionable financing proposal or other third party proposal for a sale transaction. Additionally, the Redbox Board considered that the “fiduciary out” provisions in the Merger Agreement would allow any interested third party to offer a superior proposal prior to the Redbox Stockholders Meeting.

Negotiations with CSSE and the Merger Agreement.   The Redbox Board considered the general terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including:

•

that the Merger Consideration and the other terms of the Merger Agreement resulted from arm’s length negotiations between CSSE and Redbox, with assistance of their respective advisors;

•

that the debt financing made available from HPS was for an aggregate amount sufficient to provide liquidity between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the anticipated Closing;

•

Redbox’s ability, under certain circumstances, to furnish information to and conduct negotiations with third parties regarding unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals and under specified circumstances terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal;

•

Redbox’s ability, under certain circumstances, to change its recommendation that the Redbox Stockholders vote to approve the Mergers in the event that Redbox receives a superior proposal or certain other intervening events occur;

•

The effects of the Mergers on Redbox’s employees, including the prospects for continued employment and other benefits agreed to be provided to Redbox’s employees; and

•

Redbox’s general entitlement to specific performance to prevent breaches of the Merger Agreement.

Timing of Completion.   The Redbox Board considered the anticipated timing of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the structure of the Transactions as a series of Mergers and concluded that the Mergers could be completed in a reasonable timeframe and in an orderly manner. The Redbox Board also considered that the potential for the Closing in a reasonable timeframe could reduce the period during which Redbox’s business would be subjected to the potential uncertainty of Closing and related disruption.

Likelihood of Consummation.   The Redbox Board considered its belief, following consultation with Redbox’s advisers, that the Mergers are likely to be consummated, based on the following, among other factors:

•

the approval from Redbox Stockholders was likely to be obtained under the Redbox Voting Agreement pursuant to which the Redbox Majority Stockholders collectively hold an aggregate of 6,119,738 shares, or 48.5%, of Redbox Class A Common Stock and 32,770,000 shares, or 100% of Redbox Class B Common Stock as of the date hereof; and

•

the approval from CSSE’s stockholders was obtained immediately after signing the Merger Agreement through delivery of the CSSP Written Consent.

Opinion of Redbox’s Financial Advisor.   The Redbox Board considered the opinion of Duff & Phelps, dated May 10, 2022, to the Redbox Board, which provides that as of that date and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in such written opinion, the consideration to be received by the public stockholders of Redbox in the CSSE transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the public stockholders of Redbox (without giving effect to any impact of the CSSE transaction on any particular stockholder other than in its capacity as a stockholder), as more fully described below in the section titled “The Mergers — Opinion of Redbox’s Financial Advisor.”

Merger Consideration.   The Redbox Board considered that, because the Merger Consideration is based on a fixed Exchange Ratio rather than a fixed value, Redbox Stockholders bear the risk of a decrease in the trading price of CSSE Class A Common Stock during the pendency of the Mergers and will not benefit from an increase of the trading price of Redbox Class A Common Stock, and the fact that the Merger Agreement does not provide Redbox with a value-based termination right.

Interim Operating Covenants.   The Redbox Board considered the restrictions on the conduct of Redbox’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

62

Risks Associated with the Pendency of the Mergers.   The Redbox Board considered the risks and contingencies relating to the announcement and pendency of the Mergers (including the possibility of litigation or other opposition brought by or on behalf of Redbox Stockholders or CSSE Stockholders challenging the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement) and the risks and costs to Redbox if the Mergers are not completed in a timely manner or if the Mergers do not close at all, including potential employee attrition, the impact on Redbox’s relationships with third parties and the effect termination of the Merger Agreement may have on the trading price of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Redbox’s operating results. The failure to consummate the Mergers by the End Date is an event of default under the Redbox Amended Credit Agreement, and the occurrence of such event of default would result in the outstanding indebtedness under such agreement becoming due and payable. Redbox may not be able to obtain a waiver from HPS with respect to such event of default, in which case Redbox may be required to seek protection in a bankruptcy proceeding that likely would result in lower value for Redbox Stockholders than would be obtained in the Mergers.

Opportunity to Receive Acquisition Proposals and to Terminate the Mergers in Order to Accept a Superior Proposal.   The Redbox Board considered the possibility that a third party may be willing to enter into a strategic combination with Redbox on terms more favorable than the Mergers. In connection therewith, the Redbox Board considered the terms of the Merger Agreement relating to no-shop covenants and termination fee and the potential that such provisions might deter alternative bidders that might have been willing to submit a Takeover Proposal to Redbox.

Termination Fee.   The Redbox Board also considered that, under specified circumstances, Redbox may be required to pay a termination fee in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated and the effect this could have on Redbox, including the possibility that the termination fee could discourage other potential parties from making a Takeover Proposal, although the Redbox Board believes that the termination fee is on market terms and reasonable in amount and would not deter any other party that might be interested in making a Takeover Proposal.

Expenses.   The Redbox Board considered that if the Mergers are not consummated, Redbox will generally be obligated to pay its own expenses incident to preparing for and entering into and carrying out its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and that such expenses may be significant in amount.

Regulatory Approval.   The Redbox Board considered that the Mergers and the related Transactions may require regulatory approval to complete such Transactions and the risk that the applicable governmental entities may seek to impose unfavorable terms or conditions, or otherwise fail to grant, such approval.

Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers and Other Concerns Related to Conflicts or the Potential Appearance of Conflicts.   The Redbox Board considered that Redbox’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Redbox Stockholders. For more information about such interests, see the section titled “The Mergers — Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers.”

Tax Treatment.   The Redbox Board considered that the Integrated Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Provided that the Integrated Mergers so qualify, a U.S. holder of Redbox Class A Common Stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of Redbox Class A Common Stock for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock.

In the course of its deliberations, the Redbox Board also considered certain risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including:

•

the fact that, following the Mergers, Redbox will no longer exist as an independent public company and Redbox’s existing stockholders will hold a minority interest in CSSE;

•

the fact that the Merger Agreement precludes Redbox from soliciting alternative proposals;

•

the fact that the Mergers might not be consummated in a timely manner or at all, as a result of a failure to satisfy certain conditions;

63

•

the restrictions on the conduct of Redbox’s business prior to the consummation of the Mergers, which may delay or prevent Redbox from undertaking business opportunities that may arise or any other action that it might otherwise take with respect to the operations of Redbox;

•

the significant costs involved in connection with entering into and completing the Mergers and the substantial time and effort of management required to complete the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may disrupt Redbox’s business operations;

•

the risks and contingencies related to the announcement and pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the impact on Redbox’s employees and its relationships with existing and prospective customers, suppliers and other third parties;

•

the requirement that Redbox pay CSSE a termination fee equal to $15,000,000 if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances;

•

the fact that the Exchange Ratio is fixed, meaning that there is (i) no walk-away termination right as a result of declines in CSSE’s stock price before the Closing and (ii) no adjustment to the value received by Redbox Stockholders as a result of increases to Redbox’s stock price before the Closing;

•

the potential disruption to Redbox’s business that could result from the announcement of the Transactions, including the diversion of management and employee attention and effect on business relationships;

•

the adverse impact that business uncertainty pending the effective time of the Mergers could have on Redbox’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Closing;

•

the risk that the Transactions may not be consummated despite the parties’ efforts or that consummation may be unduly delayed and the potential resulting disruptions to Redbox’s business and relationships; and

•

the other risks described in and incorporated by reference in this proxy statement, see “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 incorporated by reference herein and “Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The Redbox Board believed that, overall, the potential benefits of the Mergers to Redbox Stockholders outweighed the potential risks and uncertainties of the Mergers.

The foregoing discussion of factors considered by the Redbox Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Redbox Board in its evaluation of the Mergers. In light of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Mergers, the Redbox Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determinations and recommendations. Moreover, each member of the Redbox Board applied his or her own personal business judgment to the process and may have given different weight to different factors. The Redbox Board did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor, or any particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate determination. The Redbox Board based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented.

Certain CSSE Unaudited Prospective Financial and Operating Information

CSSE does not as a matter of course make public long-term forecasts or internal projections as to future performance, revenues, production, earnings or other results due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with its evaluation of the Mergers, CSSE’s management prepared certain unaudited internal financial forecasts with respect to CSSE, which were provided to the CSSE Board and Redbox, as well as CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective financial advisors, in connection with the proposed Mergers (collectively, the “CSSE projections”). Certain of the CSSE projections were also provided to CSSE’s financial advisor for their use and reliance in connection with the financial analyses that Guggenheim Securities performed in connection with its opinion described in “The Mergers — Opinion of CSSE’s Financial Advisor.” In addition, CSSE provided to Redbox’s management certain projected production and operating data relating to CSSE prepared by CSSE’s management, summarized below. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that any of CSSE, Redbox, their respective advisors, or other representatives or any other recipient of this

64

information considered, or now considers, it to be necessarily predictive of actual future performance or events, or that it should be construed as financial guidance, and such summary projections set forth below should not be relied on as such.

This information was prepared solely for internal use and is subjective in many respects. While presented with numeric specificity, the unaudited prospective financial and operating information reflects numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of CSSE’s management, including, among others, CSSE’s and Redbox’s future results, video on demand industry developments and changes, the availability and terms of financing as and when required, general economic and regulatory conditions, and other matters described in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” The unaudited prospective financial and operating information reflects both assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change and, in many respects, subjective judgment, and thus is susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. CSSE and Redbox can give no assurance that the unaudited prospective financial and operating information and the underlying estimates and assumptions will be realized. In addition, since the unaudited prospective financial and operating information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth below, and important factors that may affect actual results and cause the unaudited prospective financial information to be inaccurate include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to its business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, general business and economic conditions, and other matters described in “Risk Factors.” Please also see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Where You Can Find More Information.”

The unaudited prospective financial and operating information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor was it prepared with a view toward compliance with GAAP, published guidelines of the SEC, or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither CSSE’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the unaudited prospective financial and operating information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability. The report of the independent registered public accounting firm to CSSE contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, relates to historical financial information of CSSE, and such report does not extend to the projections included below and should not be read to do so.

Furthermore, the unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. CSSE and Redbox can give no assurance that, had the unaudited prospective financial and operating information been prepared either as of the date of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus or as of the date of the Redbox Special Meeting, similar estimates and assumptions would be used. Except as required by applicable securities laws, CSSE and Redbox do not intend to, and disclaim any obligation to, make publicly available any update or other revision to the unaudited prospective financial and operating information to reflect circumstances existing since their preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error, including with respect to the accounting treatment of the Mergers under GAAP, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions. The unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not take into account all the possible financial and other effects on CSSE or Redbox of the Mergers, the effect on CSSE or Redbox of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed, but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed, or not taken in anticipation of the Mergers. Further, the unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not take into account the effect on CSSE or Redbox of any possible failure of the Mergers to occur. None of CSSE, Redbox or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors, or other representatives has made, makes, or is authorized in the future to make any representation to any CSSE or Redbox Stockholder or other person regarding CSSE’s or Redbox’s ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the unaudited prospective financial and operating information or that the forecasted results will be achieved. The inclusion of the unaudited prospective financial and operating

information herein should not be deemed an admission or representation by CSSE, Redbox, their respective advisors or other representatives or any other person that it is viewed as material information of CSSE or Redbox, particularly in light of the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with such forecasts. The summary of the unaudited prospective financial and operating information included below is not being included to influence your decision whether to vote in favor of any proposal to be considered at the special meeting, but is being provided solely because it was made available to the CSSE Board, Redbox, and CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective financial advisors in connection with the Mergers.

In light of the foregoing, and considering that the special meetings will be held several months after the unaudited prospective financial and operating information was prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any forecasted information, CSSE Stockholders and Redbox Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information, and CSSE and Redbox urge all CSSE Stockholders and Redbox Stockholders to review CSSE’s most recent SEC filings for a description of CSSE’s reported financial results and Redbox’s most recent SEC filings for a description of Redbox’s reported financial results. Please see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

CSSE adjustments to the Redbox projections include adjustments to the second half of 2022 and onward in the form of a 20% reduction in kiosk rentals given CSSE’s management’s views regarding industry trends and anticipated changes in consumer behavior. CSSE’s management believes the rental market will continue to turn around post Covid-19, but the turnaround is expected by CSSE management to occur at a more gradual pace than projected by Redbox’s management.

Certain Redbox Unaudited Prospective Financial and Operating Information

The summary of the unaudited prospective financial and operating information below is not included to influence the decision of Redbox Stockholders whether to vote in favor of the Redbox Merger Proposal or any other proposal to be considered at the special meeting, but is provided solely because it was made available to the Redbox Board, Redbox’s financial advisor, CSSE and CSSE’s financial advisors in connection with the Mergers. The inclusion of the below information should not be regarded as an indication that any of Redbox, CSSE, their respective advisors or other representatives or any other recipient of this information considered — or now considers — it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results, or that it should be construed as financial guidance.

In connection with its evaluation of the Mergers, Redbox’s management prepared certain unaudited internal financial forecasts with respect to Redbox, which were provided to the Redbox Board and CSSE, as well as Redbox’s and CSSE’s respective financial advisors, in connection with the proposed Mergers (collectively, the “Redbox projections”). The Redbox projections were also provided to Duff & Phelps for their use and reliance in connection with the financial analyses that Duff & Phelps performed in connection with its opinion described in “The Mergers — Opinion of Redbox’s Financial Advisor.” In addition, Redbox provided to CSSE’s management certain projected production and operating data relating to Redbox prepared by Redbox’s management. The inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that any of Redbox, CSSE, their respective advisors, or other representatives or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be necessarily predictive of actual future performance or events, or that it should be construed as financial guidance, and such summary projections set forth below should not be relied on as such.

This information was prepared solely for internal use and is subjective in many respects. While presented with numerical specificity, the unaudited prospective financial and operating information reflects numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Redbox’s or CSSE’s management, including, among others, Redbox’s and CSSE’s future results, video on demand industry developments and changes, the availability and terms of financing as and when required, general economic and regulatory conditions, and other matters described in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

68

The unaudited prospective financial and operating information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change and subjective judgment that is susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. Redbox can give no assurance that the unaudited prospective financial and operating information and the underlying estimates and assumptions will be realized. In addition, because the unaudited prospective financial and operating information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. This information constitutes “forward-looking statements” and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those projected. The unaudited prospective financial and operating information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor was it prepared with a view toward compliance with GAAP, published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither Redbox’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the unaudited prospective financial and operating information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability. The report of the independent registered public accounting firm to Redbox contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, beginning on Page F-1 relates to historical financial information of Redbox, and such report does not extend to the projections included below and should not be read to do so.

Furthermore, the unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. Redbox can give no assurance that, had the unaudited prospective financial and operating information been prepared as of the date of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, similar estimates and assumptions would be used. Except as required by applicable securities laws, Redbox does not intend to, and disclaims any obligation to, make publicly available any update or other revision to the unaudited prospective financial and operating information to reflect circumstances existing since its preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be inappropriate, including with respect to the accounting treatment of the Mergers under GAAP, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions. The unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not take into account all the possible financial and other effects on Redbox or CSSE of the Mergers, the effect on Redbox or CSSE of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement having been executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions which would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed, but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the Mergers. Further, the unaudited prospective financial and operating information does not take into account the effect on Redbox or CSSE of any possible failure of the Mergers to occur. None of Redbox, CSSE or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, advisors or other representatives has made, makes or is authorized in the future to make any representation to any stockholder or other person regarding Redbox’s or CSSE’s ultimate performance compared to the information contained in the unaudited prospective financial and operating information or that the forecasted results will be achieved. The inclusion of the unaudited prospective financial and operating information herein should not be deemed an admission or representation by Redbox, CSSE or their respective advisors or other representatives or any other person that it is viewed as material information of Redbox or CSSE, particularly in light of the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with such forecasts.

In light of the foregoing, and considering that the Redbox Special Meeting will be held several months after the unaudited prospective financial and operating information was prepared, as well as the uncertainties inherent in any forecasted information, Redbox Stockholders and CSSE Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information and are encouraged to review Redbox’s and CSSE’s most recent SEC filings for a description of Redbox’s and CSSE’s respective reported financial results. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

On March 29, 2022, the CSSE Board retained Guggenheim Securities as its financial advisor in connection with the potential acquisition of Redbox.

•

Guggenheim Securities’ professionals are not legal, regulatory, tax, consulting, accounting, appraisal or actuarial experts and nothing in Guggenheim Securities’ opinion should be construed as constituting advice with respect to such matters; accordingly, Guggenheim Securities relied on the assessments of CSSE’s senior management, Redbox’s senior management and CSSE’s and Redbox’s respective other professional advisors with respect to such matters.

Guggenheim Securities further assumed that:

•

in rendering its opinion, in all respects meaningful to its analyses, (i) the final executed form of the Merger Agreement (and all agreements included as Exhibits thereto) would not differ from the draft that Guggenheim Securities reviewed, (ii) CSSE, Merger Sub Inc., Merger Sub LLC, Opco Merger Sub LLC, Redbox and Opco LLC will comply with all terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and (iii) the representations and warranties of CSSE, Merger Sub Inc., Merger Sub LLC, Opco Merger Sub LLC, Redbox and Opco LLC contained in the Merger Agreement were true and correct and all conditions to the obligations of each party to the Merger Agreement to consummate the Mergers would be satisfied without any waiver, amendment or modification thereof;

•

the Mergers would qualify, for US federal income tax purposes, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and that the Agreement will qualify as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a);

•

no payments were made under the Tax Receivable Agreement at any time following the execution of the Agreement and that the TRA Amendment providing for the termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement with no payments thereunder is executed; and

•

the Mergers would be consummated in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and in compliance with all applicable legal and other requirements, without any delays, limitations, restrictions, conditions, divestiture or other requirements, waivers, amendments or modifications (regulatory, tax-related or otherwise) that would have an effect on CSSE, Redbox, Opco or the Mergers (including its contemplated benefits) in any way meaningful to Guggenheim Securities’ analyses or opinion.

Guggenheim Securities did not express any view or opinion as to the price or range of prices at which the CSSE Class A Common Stock, the Redbox Class A Common Stock, the Opco LLC Units or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to CSSE, Redbox or Opco LLC may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time, including subsequent to the announcement or consummation of the Mergers.

Summary of Financial Analyses

This “Summary of Financial Analyses” presents a summary of the principal financial analyses performed by Guggenheim Securities and presented to the CSSE Board in connection with Guggenheim Securities’ rendering of its opinion. Such presentation to the CSSE Board was supplemented by Guggenheim Securities’ oral discussion, the nature and substance of which may not be fully described herein.

Some of the financial analyses summarized below include summary data and information presented in tabular format. In order to understand fully such financial analyses, the summary data and tables must be read together with the full text of the summary. Considering the summary data and tables alone could create a misleading or incomplete view of Guggenheim Securities’ financial analyses.

74

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and involves various judgments and determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant financial analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances involved. A fairness opinion therefore is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description, and taking portions of the financial analyses set forth below, without considering such analyses as a whole, would in Guggenheim Securities’ view create an incomplete and misleading picture of the processes underlying the financial analyses considered in rendering Guggenheim Securities’ opinion.

In arriving at its opinion, Guggenheim Securities:

•

based its financial analyses on various assumptions, including assumptions concerning general business, economic and capital markets conditions and industry-specific and company-specific factors, all of which are beyond the control of CSSE, Redbox, and Guggenheim Securities;

•

did not form a view or opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor, whether positive or negative, considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its opinion;

•

considered the results of all of its financial analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any one analysis or factor; and

•

ultimately arrived at its opinion based on the results of all of its financial analyses assessed as a whole and believes that the totality of the factors considered and the various financial analyses performed by Guggenheim Securities in connection with its opinion operated collectively to support its determination as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the Exchange Ratio, to CSSE.

With respect to the financial analyses performed by Guggenheim Securities in connection with rendering its opinion:

•

Such financial analyses, particularly those based on estimates and projections, are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses.

•

None of the selected publicly traded companies used in the selected publicly traded companies analysis described below is identical or directly comparable to CSSE or Redbox. However, such companies were selected by Guggenheim Securities, among other reasons, because they represented publicly traded companies which may be considered broadly similar, for purposes of Guggenheim Securities’ financial analyses, to CSSE and Redbox based on Guggenheim Securities’ familiarity with the DTC/streaming, traditional media, and exhibitors sectors.

•

In any event, selected publicly traded comparable companies analysis are not mathematical. Rather, such analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in business, financial, operating and capital markets-related characteristics and other factors regarding the selected publicly traded companies to which CSSE and Redbox were compared.

•

Such financial analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which any securities may trade at the present time or at any time in the future.

Opinion of Redbox’s Financial Advisor

On April 20, 2022, Redbox engaged Duff & Phelps to serve as an independent financial advisor to the Redbox Board (solely in their capacity as members of Redbox Board) specifically to provide an opinion (the “Opinion”) as of the date of the Opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the public stockholders of Redbox of the consideration to be received by the public stockholders of Redbox in the Mergers. In selecting Duff & Phelps, the Redbox Board considered, among other things, the fact that Duff & Phelps is a reputable investment banking firm with experience in the consumer products and services sector and a global leader in providing fairness opinions to boards of directors. Duff & Phelps is continuously engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities and the provision of fairness opinions in connection with various transactions.

On May 10, 2022, Duff & Phelps delivered its Opinion, dated May 10, 2022, to the Redbox Board that, as of the date of the Opinion and subject to and based on the assumptions made therein, the consideration to be received by the public stockholders of Redbox was fair, from a financial point of view, to the public stockholders of Redbox.

The full text of the Opinion is attached hereto as AnnexEand is incorporated into this document by reference. The summary of the Opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Opinion. Redbox’s public stockholders are urged to read the Opinion carefully and in its entirety for a discussion of the procedures followed, assumptions made, other matters considered and limits of the review

81

undertaken by Duff & Phelps in connection with such Opinion. This Opinion only speaks to the Merger Consideration received by Redbox’s public stockholders, the holders of the Redbox Class A Common Stock. This Opinion does not address, from financial point of view, consideration received by any holder of Redbox Class B Common Stock or any Redbox warrant holder. The Opinion also does not address any other aspects of the Mergers and was not intended to, and does not, constitute advice or a recommendation as to how the Redbox Board or the Redbox Stockholders should vote at any meeting related to the Mergers or to take any other action with respect to the Mergers.

Duff & Phelps’s opinion was approved by its fairness opinion committee.

Duff & Phelps provided the Opinion for the use and benefit of the Redbox Board in connection with its consideration of the proposed Transactions. Duff & Phelps’ Opinion (i) did not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the proposed Transactions versus any alternative strategy; (ii) did not address any transaction related to the proposed Transactions; (iii) was not a recommendation as to how the Redbox Board or any Redbox Stockholders should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the proposed Transactions, or whether to proceed with the proposed Transactions or any related transaction; and (iv) did not indicate that the consideration received was the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it stated whether the consideration in the proposed Transactions was within a fairness range suggested by certain financial analyses, described below.

The Opinion was only one of many factors taken into consideration by the Redbox Board in making its determination with respect to the proposed Transactions. The Opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Duff & Phelps to any party. Duff & Phelps has not undertaken, and is under no obligation, to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw the Opinion, or otherwise comment on or consider events occurring or coming to its attention after the date of the Opinion.

In connection with its Opinion, Duff & Phelps made such reviews, analyses and inquiries as it deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances.

Assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed by Duff & Phelps in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed;

7.

Assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects of Redbox or CSSE since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to Duff & Phelps, and that there is no information or facts that would make the information reviewed by Duff & Phelps incomplete or misleading;

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which the Opinion was based prove to be untrue in any material respect, the Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Duff & Phelps’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of the Opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Mergers.

The Duff & Phelps opinion was delivered to the Redbox Board on and dated May 10, 2022. The Opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of the date thereof, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after May 10, 2022.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate Redbox’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). Duff & Phelps has not been requested to, and did not, (i) initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the proposed Transactions, the assets, businesses or operations of Redbox, or any alternatives to the proposed Transactions, (ii) negotiate the terms of the proposed Transactions, and therefore, Duff & Phelps has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from Redbox’s perspective, that could, under the circumstances, be negotiated among the parties to the Merger Agreement and the proposed Transactions, or (iii) advise the Redbox Board or any other party with respect to alternatives to the proposed Transactions.

Duff & Phelps did not express any opinion as to the market price or value of the Redbox Class A Common Stock or the CSSE Class A Common Stock after the announcement or the consummation of the Mergers. The Duff & Phelps opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of Redbox’s credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

In rendering the Opinion, Duff & Phelps did not express any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of Redbox’s officers, the Redbox Board, or employees, or any class of such persons, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

Summary of Financial Analysis by Duff & Phelps

Set forth below is a summary of the material analyses performed by Duff & Phelps in connection with the delivery of its Opinion to the Board of Directors. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Opinion, attached hereto as Annex E. While this summary describes the analyses and factors that Duff & Phelps deemed material in the delivery of its Opinion to the Redbox Board, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and factors considered by Duff & Phelps. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis, the weighting given to different analyses, and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis. In arriving at its Opinion, Duff & Phelps did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Duff & Phelps believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it in rendering the Opinion without considering all analyses and factors could create a misleading or incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its Opinion. The conclusion reached by Duff & Phelps was based on all analyses and factors taken as a whole, and also on the application of Duff & Phelps’ own experience and judgment.

The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order for Duff & Phelps’ financial analyses to be fully understood, the tables must be read together with the text of

84

each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Duff & Phelps’ financial analyses.

Financial Analysis

Duff & Phelps’s financial analysis involved estimating the probable range of fair market values of Redbox Class A Common Stock on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the proposed transaction, and comparing that to the estimated value of the merger consideration to be received by the Redbox’s public stockholders.

The probable range of fair market values of Redbox Class A Common Stock on a stand-alone basis was estimated based on a fundamental valuation analysis of Redbox, excluding any impact of the proposed Transactions.

The estimated value of the Merger Consideration to be received by Redbox Stockholders in the proposed Transactions was based on an analysis of CSSE after giving effect to the proposed Transactions, including the potential value of revenue and cost synergies. In addition, Duff & Phelps analyzed the implied value of the Merger Consideration based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.087 CSSE Class A Common Stock for (i) each share of Redbox Class A Common Stock and (ii) each Opco LLC Unit.

Enterprise Valuation Analysis — Redbox Standalone

Among other matters considered, Duff & Phelps performed a valuation analysis of Redbox on a standalone basis to estimate a range of enterprise values of Redbox.

Duff & Phelps estimated the standalone value of Redbox (without giving effect to the proposed Transactions) using a discounted cash flow (which we refer to as “DCF”) analysis and a market approach analysis using selected public companies. The DCF analysis was based on the Redbox Projections.

Redbox Standalone DCF Analysis

A DCF analysis is designed to provide insight into the intrinsic value of a business based on its projected earnings and capital requirements as well as the net present value of projected unlevered free cash flows.

Duff & Phelps calculated the projected unlevered free cash flow of Redbox by subtracting taxes from earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and then by adding the estimated tax depreciation expense, subtracting projected capital expenditures and changes in working capital to arrive at projected unlevered free cash flow. In addition, Duff & Phelps treated all stock-based compensation expense as if it were a cash expense. All of the assumptions and estimates used to calculate Redbox’s unlevered free cash flow were provided by Redbox management.

Duff & Phelps estimated the terminal value of Redbox by selecting and applying a terminal earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple of 4.25x to 5.25x (which range was determined based on considerations that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience).

Duff & Phelps then discounted the projected unlevered free cash flow for the nine month period ending December 31, 2022, for the fiscal years 2023 through 2026 and the terminal value for Redbox using a weighted average cost of capital (the “WACC”). Duff & Phelps estimated Redbox’s WACC to range from 13.0 percent to 15.0 percent. To estimate Redbox’s WACC, Duff & Phelps (i) estimated the WACC of Redbox’s Legacy business, (ii) estimated the WACC of Redbox’s Digital Business, and (iii) estimated blended WACC for Redbox based on EBITDA contribution of Redbox’s Legacy Business and Redbox’s Digital Business.

The DCF analysis resulted in estimated total enterprise values ranging from $513.1 million to $604.7 million. This range includes the present value of the interim cash flows from 2022 through 2026 of approximately $243 million to $251 million, an estimated present value of the terminal value at the end of

85

2026 of approximately $249 million to $331 million, and an estimated present value of tax amortization benefits of approximately $22 million to $23 million.

The table below provides a summary of the results of Duff & Phelps’s DCF analysis of Redbox on a stand-alone basis.

The DCF analysis, like any other analytical technique used by Duff & Phelps, has inherent strengths and weaknesses. The range of valuation indications resulting from any particular technique, including the DCF analysis, should not be taken in isolation to be Duff & Phelps’s view of the valuation of Redbox. Accordingly, the valuation range derived from the DCF analysis was not necessarily indicative of Redbox’s present or future value.

Redbox Standalone Market Approach

The standalone market approach (the “Market Approach”) is a valuation technique that provides an estimation of fair market value based on market prices in actual transactions and on asking prices for assets (or businesses). The valuation process is a comparison and correlation between the subject asset (or business) and other similar assets (or businesses). Considerations such as time and condition of sale and terms of agreements are analyzed for comparable assets and are adjusted to arrive at an estimation of the fair market value of the subject asset.

Duff & Phelps analyzed selected public companies for purposes of estimating valuation multiples with which to select multiples to apply to Redbox’s estimated 2023 EBITDA figure. Due to limited recent relevant merger and acquisition transactions, Duff & Phelps relied solely on the selected public companies in the Market Approach. This collective analysis was based on publicly available information and is described in more detail in the sections that follow.

Each company is unique, and the companies utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis were not directly comparable to Redbox. Duff & Phelps does not have access to non-public information of any of the companies used for comparative purposes. Accordingly, a complete valuation analysis of Redbox cannot rely solely upon a quantitative review of the selected public companies, but involves complex

86

considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of Redbox. Therefore, the selected public companies analysis is subject to certain limitations.

Selected Public Companies Analysis

Duff & Phelps compared certain financial information of Redbox to corresponding data and ratios from digital streaming and legacy film & television-focused publicly traded companies. For purposes of its analysis, Duff & Phelps used certain publicly available historical financial data and consensus equity analyst estimates for the selected publicly traded companies. The 17 companies included in the selected public company analysis were:

Selected Public Companies	CSSE
​	CuriosityStream, Inc.
​	fuboTB Inc.
​	Netflix, Inc.
​	Roku, Inc.
​	Spotify Technology S.A.
​	AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.
​	Cinemark Holdings, Inc.
​	Comcast Corporation
​	Cumulus Media Inc.
​	DISH Network Corporation
​	iHeartMedia, Inc.
​	Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.
​	Paramount Global
​	Townsquare Media, Inc.
​	The Walt Disney Company
​	Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc.

Duff & Phelps selected these companies for its analysis based on their relative similarity, primarily in terms of product, end market, or business model, to that of Redbox.

The tables below summarize certain observed historical and projected financial performance, on an aggregate basis, and trading multiples of the selected public companies. The estimates for 2022 and 2023 in the tables below with respect to the selected public companies were derived based on information for the 12-month periods ending closest to Redbox’s fiscal year ends for which information was available. Data related to the companies’ EBITDAs were adjusted for purposes of this analysis to eliminate non-recurring income (expenses).

Summary of Selected Public Companies Analysis

In order to estimate a multiple range for Redbox, Duff & Phelps took into consideration projected financial performance metrics of Redbox relative to such metrics of the selected public companies. Duff & Phelps then analyzed the selected public companies’ trading multiples of enterprise value to their projected revenue and EBITDA.

In recognition of the differences between Redbox and the selected public companies, rather than applying the average or median multiple from these analyses, Duff & Phelps selected multiples that, in its judgement, reflected Redbox’s size, growth outlook, capital requirements, profit margins, revenue mix, and other characteristics relative to the selected public companies. Based on this analysis, Duff & Phelps’ selected an EBITDA multiple range of 5.25x to 6.25x to apply to Redbox’s 2023 estimated EBITDA.

Based on these assumptions, Duff & Phelps’ selected public companies analysis resulted in an estimated enterprise value range for Redbox of $498.3 million to $593.2 million.

Estimate of Redbox Equity Value Per Share on a Standalone, Pre-Transaction Basis

To estimate the equity value per share of Redbox on a standalone basis, certain adjustments were made to the estimated range of enterprise values set forth above. These adjustments were as follows:

Cash and Equivalents

As of March 31, 2022, Redbox had approximately $9.8 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet, which was added to the enterprise value. This excludes approximately $3.9 million of

89

restricted cash, which are cash balances established to secure Redbox’s letter of credit requirement to support its insurance obligations.

Debt

As of March 31, 2022, Redbox had approximately $349.3 million of total debt and accrued paid-in-kind interest on its balance sheet, which was deducted from the enterprise value. This included:

•

Approximately $271.6 million of Term B Facility debt

•

Approximately $38.4 million of accrued paid-in-kind interest related to the Term Loan Facility

•

Approximately $29.1 million of Revolving Credit Facility debt

•

Approximately $3.1 million of accrued paid-in-kind interest related to the Revolving Credit Facility

•

Approximately $4.1 million of Union Revolving Credit Facility debt

•

Approximately $3.0 million of capital lease obligations

Warrant Liability

As of March 31, 2022, there were 10,781,250 public warrants and 6,062,500 private placement warrants outstanding. As of March 31, 2022, Redbox recorded warrant liabilities of approximately $4.1 million on its balance sheet.

Redbox Standalone Per Share Value Conclusions

After making the adjustments described above to the enterprise value, Duff & Phelps arrived at an aggregate equity value range of approximately $162.0 million to $255.0 million. Based on (i) 12.619 million Redbox Class A Common Stock shares outstanding, (ii) 32.770 million Redbox Class B Common Stock shares outstanding, (iii) 2.409 million shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights related to the Redbox RSU Award plan, and (iv) 0.500 million common shares to be issued to BTIG, Duff & Phelps’s analysis indicated a range of values from $3.35 per share to $5.28 per share of Redbox common stock on a fully diluted basis. The number of shares issued from warrants, options, and restricted stock units and awards was based on the cashless treasury stock method.

The indicated range of per share values of $3.35 to $5.28 assumes the business will continue as a going concern and thus represents an illustrative going concern equity value range. The DCF analysis and the selected public company analysis reflect regular-way valuation methodologies and do not incorporate Redbox’s financial distress or liquidity position. In order to incorporate the reality of Redbox’s current financial situation, Duff & Phelps (i) estimated a range of probabilities of default, (ii) calculated the corresponding range of probabilities of going concern (i.e. calculated as one minus the probability of default), and (iii) applied the estimated range of probabilities of going concern to the indicated illustrative going concern equity value range per share. This analysis resulted in a per share value range of $0.00 to $1.79.

Duff & Phelps estimated the probability of default to range from 66.1% to 100.0%, based on (i) the 1-year CCC/C cumulative default rate (from post-original ratings 1981-2021) of 66.1%, per the 2021 S&P Annual Global Corporate Default Study and Ratings Transition Report, (ii) the proximity of Merger Agreement execution deadline, May 10, 2022, to the obligations and covenants required under Redbox Amended Credit Agreement that would provide Redbox with access to additional capital, and (iii) the estimated value to common equity holders in the event of bankruptcy.

Enterprise Valuation Analysis — Pro Forma Surviving Company

In order to estimate the value of the merger consideration to be received by Redbox’s public stockholders in the proposed transaction, Duff & Phelps performed a valuation of CSSE on a post-transaction basis including Redbox and the expected synergies, to estimate the enterprise value of pro-forma combined CSSE (the “Pro Forma Surviving Company”).

The valuation methodologies used to estimate the enterprise value of the combined company were a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Pro Forma Surviving Company Projections and an analysis of selected public companies.

Pro Forma Surviving Company DCF Analysis

Duff & Phelps calculated the projected unlevered free cash flow for each of the fiscal years 2022 through 2026 using the following assumptions and estimates of the combined company’s unlevered free cash flow were provided by Redbox management and CSSE management. That calculation was derived by starting with EBIT and (i) deducting taxes at an 26.0 percent tax rate; (ii) deducting projected content investment; (iii) adding projected content amortization; (iv) deducting projected capital expenditures; (v) deducting projected acquisitions; and (vi) deducting changes in working capital, to arrive at projected unlevered free cash flow. In addition, Duff & Phelps treated all stock-based compensation expense as if it were a cash expense.

Duff & Phelps estimated the terminal value of the Pro Forma Surviving Company by applying a terminal EBITDA multiple of 7.0x to 9.0x (which range was determined based on considerations that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience).

91

Duff & Phelps then discounted the projected unlevered free cash flow for fiscal years 2022 through 2026 and the terminal value for the Surviving Company using a WACC ranging from 12.5 percent to 14.5 percent. Duff & Phelps derived WACC by using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and based on considerations that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience.

The discounted cash flow analysis resulted in estimated total enterprise values of Pro Forma Surviving Company ranging from $822 million to $1,098 million. This range includes the present value of the interim cash flows from 2022 through 2026 of approximately $148 million to $157 million, an estimated present value of the terminal value after 2026 of approximately $672 million to $938 million, and estimated tax amortization benefits of approximately $2 million.

Duff & Phelps included cash flows for the full fiscal 2022 year in its DCF analysis since balance sheet information available to Duff & Phelps, including cash balances, was as of December 31, 2021. By capturing all fiscal 2022 cash flow, the use of cash for the full fiscal year was reflected in its analysis.

The table below provides a summary of the results of Duff & Phelps’s DCF analysis of the Surviving Company.

After stock based compensation expense and content amortization expense

The DCF analysis, like any other analytical technique used by Duff & Phelps, has inherent strengths and weaknesses. The range of valuation indications resulting from any particular technique, including the DCF analysis, should not be taken in isolation to be Duff & Phelps’s view of the valuation of the Surviving Company. Accordingly, the valuation range derived from the DCF analysis was not necessarily indicative of the Surviving Company’s present or future value.

Pro Forma Surviving Company Market Approach

The Market Approach is a valuation technique that provides an estimation of fair market value based on market prices in actual transactions and on asking prices for assets (or businesses). The valuation process

92

is a comparison and correlation between the subject asset (or business) and other similar assets (or businesses). Considerations such as time and condition of sale and terms of agreements are analyzed for comparable assets and are adjusted to arrive at an estimation of the fair market value of the subject asset.

Duff & Phelps analyzed selected public companies for purposes of estimating a range of valuation multiples from which were selected multiples to apply to the Pro Forma Surviving Company’s estimated 2023 EBITDA figure. Due to limited recent relevant merger and acquisition transactions, Duff & Phelps relied on the selected public companies in the Market Approach. This collective analysis was based solely on publicly available information and is described in more detail in the sections that follow.

Each company is unique and the companies utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis were not directly comparable to Pro Forma Surviving Company. Duff & Phelps does not have access to non-public information of any of the companies used for comparative purposes. Accordingly, a complete valuation analysis of Pro Forma Surviving Company cannot rely solely upon a quantitative review of the selected public companies, but involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of Pro Forma Surviving Company. Therefore, the selected public company analysis is subject to certain limitations.

Duff & Phelps selected the same public companies referenced above for its analysis based on their relative similarity, primarily in terms of product, end market, or business model, to that of Pro Forma Surviving Company. However, Pro Forma Surviving Company will have its own unique characteristics, both known and unknown, that will make it not directly comparable to the selected public companies.

Summary of Selected Public Companies Analysis — Pro Forma Surviving Company

In order to estimate a multiple range for Pro Forma Surviving Company, Duff & Phelps took into consideration projected financial performance metrics of Pro Forma Surviving Company relative to such metrics of the selected public companies. Duff & Phelps then analyzed the selected public companies’ trading multiples of enterprise value to their projected revenue and EBITDA.

Rather than applying the average or median multiple from these analyses, Duff & Phelps selected multiples that, in its judgement, reflected Pro Forma Surviving Company’s size, growth outlook, capital requirements, profit margins, revenue mix, and other characteristics relative to the selected public companies. Based on this analysis, Duff & Phelps’ selected an EBITDA multiple range of 7.0x to 9.0x to apply to Pro Forma Surviving Company’s 2023 estimated EBITDA.

Based on these assumptions, Duff & Phelps’ selected public company analysis resulted in an estimated enterprise value range for Pro Forma Surviving Company of $860.5 million to $1,106.3 million.

Estimated Value of the Merger Consideration

To estimate the value of the merger consideration to be received by Redbox Stockholders, certain adjustments were made to the estimated range of enterprise values of Pro Forma Surviving Company set forth above. Since the latest available balance sheet for CSSE was as of December 31, 2021, Duff & Phelps used the December 31, 2021 balance sheet information for Redbox and CSSE to derive combined company values for the Pro Forma Surviving Company. These adjustments were as follows:

Cash and Equivalents

As of December 31, 2021, Redbox had approximately $92.8 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021, CSSE had approximately $29.2 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. Redbox’s cash and cash equivalents line item was adjusted to include (i) approximately $3.0 million of incremental borrowings under the Union Bank revolving credit facility, (ii) approximately $45.0 million of incremental borrowing under the Term Loan Facility prior to the proposed Transactions, and (iii) approximately $35.0 million of incremental borrowing under the Term Loan Facility subsequent to the proposed Transactions. This was added to the Surviving Company’s enterprise value.

93

Debt

As of December 31, 2021, Redbox had approximately $404.9 million in debt and accrued paid-in-kind interest outstanding on its balance sheet. Redbox’s debt outstanding was adjusted to include (i) approximately $3.0 million of incremental borrowings under the Union Bank Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) approximately $45.0 million of incremental borrowing under the Term Loan Facility prior to the proposed Transactions, (iii) approximately $35.0 million of incremental borrowing under the Term Loan Facility subsequent to the proposed Transactions, and (iv) the B-2 Exchange Agreement, which reduced indebtedness but increased shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, CSSE had approximately $69.8 million of debt outstanding on its balance sheet, including (i) 9.5% Notes due 2025, (ii) revolving loan borrowings, and (iii) film acquisition advances. This was deducted from the combined company’s enterprise value.

Warrant Liability

As of the date of the Opinion, there were 10,781,250 public warrants and 6,062,500 private placement warrants outstanding. As of March 31, 2022, Redbox recorded warrant liabilities of approximately $4.1 million on its balance sheet. This was deducted from the combined company’s enterprise value.

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2021, Series A Preferred Stock issued by CSSE had a redemption value of approximately $94.5 million, including (i) Series A Preferred Stock with a redemption value of approximately $92.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and (ii) Series A Preferred Stock with a redemption value of approximately $2.0 million issued subsequent to December 31, 2021. This was deducted from the Surviving Company’s enterprise value.

Contingent Consideration

As of December 31, 2021, CSSE had approximately $21.2 of contingent consideration liabilities on its balance sheet, including (i) approximately $9.8 million of contingent consideration owed related to the acquisition of Sonar Entertainment, Inc. and (ii) a put option obligation of approximately $11.4 million related to the acquisition of Sonar Entertainment, Inc. This was deducted from the Surviving Company’s enterprise value.

Transaction Costs

Based on estimates of transaction costs provided by Redbox management, Duff & Phelps deducted $10.0 million in transaction costs from enterprise value.

Indicated Value of Merger Consideration to Redbox Stockholders

After making the adjustments described above to the indicated Surviving Company enterprise value ranging from $841.3 million to $1,101.9 million, Duff & Phelps estimated the aggregate equity value in the Surviving Company to range between $358.9 million to $619.5 million. Based on the estimated fully diluted shares for the Surviving Company of 20.375 million at the time of Duff & Phelps’s delivery of its fairness analysis to the Redbox Board, Duff & Phelps’s analysis indicated a range of the Surviving Company value per share of $17.62 to $30.43.

Duff & Phelps then multiplied the range of indicated equity value per share for the Surviving Company by the Exchange Ratio, resulting in an implied value of Merger Consideration to be received by the Redbox Stockholders in the range of $1.54 per share to $2.66 per share.

Other

The issuance of the Duff & Phelps opinion was approved by its fairness opinion review committee.

Fees and Expenses

Under the terms of Redbox’s engagement letter with Duff & Phelps, Redbox has agreed to pay Duff & Phelps a fee of $725,000, $300,000 of which was paid upon its engagement and $425,000 of which was paid

95

upon Duff & Phelps informing Redbox that it was prepared to deliver the opinion (regardless of the conclusion reached in the opinion). In addition, Redbox has agreed to reimburse Duff & Phelps for its out-of-pocket expenses, provided such expenses shall not exceed $75,000 without Redbox’s prior written consent. Redbox has agreed to indemnify Duff & Phelps and certain related persons against liabilities arising out of Duff & Phelps’s service as a financial advisor to the Redbox Board. The terms of the fee arrangement with Duff & Phelps, which Redbox and Duff & Phelps believe are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length between Redbox and Duff & Phelps. No portion of Duff & Phelps’s fee was contingent on either the conclusions reached in its opinion or the consummation of the Transactions.

Other than this engagement, during the two years preceding the date of the Duff & Phelps opinion, Duff & Phelps has not had any material relationship with any party to the proposed Transactions for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated. Duff & Phelps did not provide any services to or receive fees from Redbox or CSSE, other than services provided to and fees received from Redbox in connection with its opinion.

Interests of Certain Redbox Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

In considering the recommendation of the Redbox Board that stockholders vote “FOR” the Redbox Merger Proposal and the Redbox Adjournment Proposal, Redbox’s shareholders should be aware that certain members of the Redbox Board and executive officers of Redbox have various interests in the Transactions that may be different from, or in addition to the interests of Redbox shareholders generally and that may present actual or potential conflicts of interests. The Redbox Board was aware of theses interest and considered them, among other matters, when it unanimously (a) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions were in the best interests of Redbox and in the best interests of the holders of Redbox Common Stock, (b) approved the Merger Agreement and the other Transactions, and (c) directed that the Merger Agreement and the other Transactions be submitted to a vote or for the consent of the Redbox Stockholder and (d) resolved, and recommended, that the Redbox Stockholders approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.

Redbox Equity Awards

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Mergers, each outstanding vested and unvested Redbox RSU Award held by Redbox directors and executives officers will be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of such Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time. See “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Redbox Equity-Based Awards.”

The following sets forth the Redbox RSU Awards held by Redbox’s executive officers and directors, as of June 10, 2022: for Galen C. Smith, 576,036 Redbox RSUs; for Frederick Stein, 172,811 Redbox RSUs; for Michael Chamberlain 172,811 Redbox RSUs; for Jason K. Kwong, 345,622 Redbox RSUs; for Michael F. Feldner, 172,811 Redbox RSUs; for Christina Chu, 23,041 Redbox RSUs, and for Kimberly Kelleher, 8,640 Redbox RSUs.

Redbox Long Term Incentive Plan Awards

Under the terms of the Redbox 2020 and 2021 Redbox Cash Long Term Incentive Plans, certain cash incentive compensation awards are scheduled to be paid in September 2022 and September 2023, respectively, subject to the participant’s continued employment through the payment date. Under the terms of these plans, the awards will vest on a pro-rata basis based on the number of completed months from the date of grant through the consummation of the Mergers. The accelerated vested portion, as applicable, will be payable within 30 days following the consummation of the Mergers.

The following sets forth the outstanding amounts of the Redbox Long Term Incentive Awards held by Redbox’s executive officers: for Michael Feldner, in respect of his 2020 Cash Long Term Incentive Plan award, $50,000; and for Christina Chu, in respect of her 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan award, $30,000.

96

2021 Retention Bonus Payments

Redbox issued retention awards in respect of services rendered in 2021 (the “2021 Retention Award”), payable in two equal installments in May 2022 and September 2022, subject to continued employment through the respective payment dates. Under the terms of the 2021 Retention Awards, any unpaid balance of any 2021 Retention Award will accelerate and become due and payable within 30 days following the consummation of the Mergers.

The following sets forth the outstanding amounts of the Redbox 2021 Retention Awards held by Redbox’s executive officers: for Galen C. Smith, $162,604; for Frederick Stein, $11,317; for Michael Chamberlain, $39,339; for Jason K. Kwong, $47,265; for Michael F. Feldner, $26,979; and for Christina Chu, $10,000.

Key Employee Retention Plan

Redbox has adopted a Key Employee Retention Plan (the “KERP”) in connection with the Mergers to provide cash payments to certain employees of the Company, including Redbox executive officers. Payments under the KERP will be made in two equal installments, within 30 and 90 days following the consummation of the Mergers, subject to continued employment through the respective payment date. If a KERP participant is terminated from employment without cause, payment of any outstanding balance of the KERP award is accelerated. The participant will forfeit the remaining balance of his or her KERP award if the participant is terminated for cause or voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company.

The following sets forth the amounts awarded to Redbox executive officers under the KERP: for Galen Smith, $550,000, for Jason K. Kwong, $300,000, for Frederick Stein $250,000, for Michael Chamberlain $250,000, for Michael Feldner, $250,000, and for Christina Chu, $240,000.

Severance Arrangements

Certain Redbox executive officers are entitled to severance payments and benefits under their employment agreements in the event of a qualifying termination of employment (i.e., termination of the executive officer’s employment without “Cause” for Galen Smith, Michael Chamberlain, and Jason K. Kwong, and a resignation by Galen Smith for “Good Reason”, each as defined in the respective employment agreements) during the 12 month period following the consummation of the Mergers, subject to the execution of a general employment release of claims. The severance payments and benefits are as follows; (A) 18 months (24 months for Galen Smith) of base salary continuation payable over a 12 month period, (B) a lump sum payment equal to the executive’s target annual bonus for the year of termination, (C) a pro-rated payment of the executive’s target annual bonus for the year of termination based on the number of days worked in the year of termination, (D) 12 months of continuing health and welfare benefit plan coverage for the executive officers and their respective dependents, and (E) for Michael Chamberlain and Jason K. Kwong only, 12 months of senior executive level career transition services. As of June 10, 2022, the amount of such severance benefits would be, for Galen Smith, $3,829,106.68, for Jason K. Kwong, $1,257,179.33, and for Michael Chamberlain $1,041,993.19.

Certain other Redbox executive officers are entitled to severance payments and benefits under the terms of Redbox’s severance practice, which CSSE has agreed to honor for a period of 12 months pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In the event of a termination of employment of Christina Chu, Frederick Stein or Michael Feldner’s employment without cause, such executive officers are entitled to a cash severance payment, subject to the execution of a general employment release of claims, in an amount equal to thirty nine (39) weeks of base salary plus one week of base salary for every year of service (with a combined maximum of fifty two weeks (52) of base salary), 12 months of continuing health and welfare plan coverage for the executive officer and their respective dependents, plus $14,000 in outplacement services. As of June 10, 2022, the amount of such severance benefits would be, for Christina Chu, $289,517.05, for Frederick Stein, $325,249.99, and for Michael Feldner $329,096.15.

Certain Non-Employee Directors Compensation

Redbox’s current non-employee members of the Board, Gregory W. Frenzel, Neal P. Goldman, and Robert H. Warshauer, each receive a cash retainer of $30,000 per month for their services, which is to be

97

paid for a period of at least nine months from its adoption in April 2022. Any unpaid portion of these payments at the time of the consummation of the Mergers will be paid to these directors.

Tax Status of Mergers for the Holders of Redbox Class A Common Stockholders

It is intended that the Integrated Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Provided that the Integrated Mergers so qualify, Redbox Class A stockholders generally are not expected to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of their shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock for CSSE Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement. See discussion in “The Mergers — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers.”

Termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with its SPAC merger in October 2021, Redbox entered into the TRA with the TRA Holders, in which Redbox agreed to make specified future payments to the TRA Holders relating to tax attributes generated to Redbox’s benefit in future taxable exchanges of Opco LLC Units by the TRA Holders. The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for the payment by Redbox to the TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that Redbox actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances described below) in periods after the date of the TRA as a result of certain increases in tax basis and certain benefits attributable to imputed interest associated with such taxable exchanges, with Redbox retaining the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. Under the terms of the TRA prior to the TRA Amendment, a change of control (as defined under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which includes certain Mergers and business combinations (including the First Company Merger) generally would result in lump-sum payment obligations.

On May 10, 2022, however, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CSSE entered into the TRA Amendment with the other TRA parties. The TRA Amendment provides that immediately prior to the Effective Time, the TRA shall be terminated in its entirety as a result of and upon the closing of the Mergers at no cost to the TRA parties or any of their respective affiliates and shall be of no further force or effect, and no party shall have any further obligations under the TRA for any reason, and that Redwood waives, releases, remises and forever discharges the Corporate Taxpayer (as defined in the TRA), its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors, officers and employees from any obligations under the TRA, including as a result of past, present or future actions or events. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, the TRA amendment will no longer be of any force and effect.

Share Ownership

As described under “Share Ownership of Directors, Executive Officers and Certain Beneficial Owners of Redbox” and “The Merger Agreement — Terms of the Mergers; Merger Consideration”, executive officers and non-employee directors of Redbox beneficially own shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units, which will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units beneficially owned by them.

Indemnification and Insurance

CSSE has agreed to cause the Surviving Corporation to take all action to ensure that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and expense advancement and reimbursement existing in favor of any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of Redbox, Opco LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in any indemnification agreements with such indemnified persons and in Redbox’s organizational documents or Opco LLC’s organizational documents as in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Mergers and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. From and after the Effective time, for a period of 6 years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and CSSE shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all costs (including settlement costs) or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, penalties or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative

98

or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the Merger Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby)), arising out of or based on, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Redbox or Opco LLC, or is or was serving at the request of Redbox or Opco LLC as a director, officer, employee or agent of another person prior to the Effective Time, in each case, whether threatened, pending or completed and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that Redbox or Opco LLC would have been permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware, any applicable indemnification agreement to which such person is a party, the organizational documents of Redbox or Opco LLC in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement to indemnify such Person (and the Surviving Corporation shall, and CSSE shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced shall provide an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such person is not entitled to indemnification).

Prior to the Effective Time, Redbox may, and if Redbox does not or is unable to, the Surviving Corporation shall, and CSSE shall cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain as of the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as Redbox’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with a claims period of six years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are at least as favorable to the indemnified parties, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement); provided, however, that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend a one-time premium for such coverage in excess of 200% of the annual premium paid by Redbox prior to the date of the Merger Agreement in respect of such coverage (the “Maximum Premium”). If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at an annual premium equal to or less than the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation will obtain, and CSSE will cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

In the event CSSE or the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective successors or assigns, is not the surviving entity in a merger or consolidation or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to a third party, CSSE will ensure that these indemnification and insurance obligations are assumed by the surviving entity or purchaser in such transaction, as applicable.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers to U.S. holders (as defined below) of Redbox Class A Common Stock who exchange their eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Integrated Mergers. This discussion does not address any tax consequence of the Opco Merger to U.S. holders of Opco LLC Units who exchange their eligible Opco LLC Units for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Opco Merger because such holders have agreed pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement to vote for the Mergers, subject to certain conditions. The following discussion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial interpretations thereof and published rulings and other positions of the IRS, each as in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein

This discussion is limited to U.S. holders that hold their Redbox Class A Common Stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is not a complete description of all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Integrated

101

Mergers, nor does it describe any tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers arising under the laws of any state, local, or non-U.S. jurisdiction or under any U.S. federal laws, other than those pertaining to the U.S. federal income tax. Further, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular U.S. holders of Redbox Class A Common Stock in light of their individual circumstances (including the impact of the Medicare surtax on certain net investment income) or to U.S. holders of Redbox Class A Common Stock that are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

•

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

•

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or holders of interests therein;

•

tax-exempt or governmental organizations;

•

dealers in securities or traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

•

persons that hold Redbox Class A Common Stock, as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction;

•

persons that purchased or sell their shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock, as part of a wash sale;

•

certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States or persons whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar;

•

persons that are not U.S. holders (as defined below);

•

persons who acquired their Redbox Class A Common Stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan; and

•

persons who actually or constructively hold (or actually or constructively held at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the Integrated Mergers) 5% or more of the shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock.

THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE INTEGRATED MERGERS TO A REDBOX CLASS A STOCKHOLDER MAY BE COMPLEX AND WILL DEPEND ON SUCH HOLDER’S SPECIFIC SITUATION AND FACTORS NOT WITHIN CSSE’S OR REDBOX’S CONTROL. ALL REDBOX CLASS A STOCKHOLDERS AND OPCO LLC UNITHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS TO THEM IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX AND ANY U.S. FEDERAL, U.S. STATE OR LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF POTENTIAL CHANGES IN SUCH LAWS.

U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Redbox Class A Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

a trust (i) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more “United States persons” ​(within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) which has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Redbox Class A Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain

102

determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, if you are a partner in a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that holds Redbox Class A Common Stock, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you of the Integrated Mergers.

Treatment of the Integrated Mergers

Assuming that the Integrated Mergers are completed as currently contemplated, CSSE and Redbox intend for the Integrated Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. CSSE and Redbox have not requested, and do not intend to request, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to the discussion herein. The following discussion, as it relates to the U.S. holders of Redbox Class A Common Stock, assumes the Integrated Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Integrated Mergers to U.S. Holders of Redbox Class A Common Stock

Assuming that the Integrated Mergers, taken together, are treated as described above in “The Mergers — Treatment of the Integrated Mergers”, the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Integrated Mergers to U.S. holders of Redbox Class A Common Stock generally will be as follows:

•

a U.S. holder of Redbox Class A Common Stock will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Integrated Mergers;

•

the aggregate tax basis of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock received by a U.S. holder of Redbox Class A Common Stock in the Integrated Mergers will equal the aggregate adjusted tax basis of such U.S. holder’s eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock exchanged for such CSSE Class A Common Stock; and

•

the holding period of a U.S. holder of Redbox Class A Common Stock in the CSSE Class A Common Stock received in exchange for eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock will include the holding period of the Redbox Class A Common Stock exchanged for such CSSE Class A Common Stock.

If a U.S. holder of Redbox Class A Common Stock acquired different blocks of Redbox Class A Common Stock at different times or at different prices, such U.S. holder’s basis and holding period in its shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock may be determined separately with reference to each block of Redbox Class A Common Stock. Any such U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor regarding the tax bases and holding periods of the particular shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock received in the Integrated Mergers.

REDBOX CLASS A STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE INTEGRATED MERGERS TO THEM IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, U.S. STATE OR LOCAL NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF POTENTIAL CHANGES IN SUCH LAWS.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns may be required to be filed with the IRS in connection with the Integrated Mergers. Further, the consideration payable to U.S. holders in connection with the Integrated Mergers may be subject to deduction or withholding as required under applicable law. A U.S. holder of Redbox Class A Common Stock may be subject to U.S. backup withholding on any cash payments made pursuant to the Mergers unless such holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding rules or otherwise is not an additional tax and will

103

generally be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE INTEGRATED MERGERS. IT IS NOT A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL POTENTIAL TAX EFFECTS THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT TO A PARTICULAR U.S. HOLDER. ALL REDBOX CLASS A STOCKHOLDERS AND OPCO LLC UNITHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS TO THEM, INCLUDING TAX REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, U.S. STATE OR LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF POTENTIAL CHANGES IN SUCH LAWS.

Accounting Treatment of the Mergers

CSSE prepares its financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Mergers will be accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method of accounting with CSSE being considered the acquirer of Redbox for accounting purposes. This means that CSSE will record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Redbox at their acquisition date fair values at the effective date of the Mergers.

Regulatory Approvals

Antitrust Clearance

The completion of the Mergers may be subject to antitrust review in the United States. Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder, if certain HSR transaction size thresholds are triggered the Mergers cannot be completed until the parties to the Merger Agreement have given notification and furnished information to the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), and until the applicable waiting period has expired or has been terminated.

At any time before or after consummation of the Mergers, notwithstanding any prior expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, the FTC, the DOJ or any state could take such action under antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Mergers or seeking the divestiture of substantial assets of CSSE or Redbox or their respective subsidiaries. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

Securities and Exchange Commission

In connection with the CSSE Stock Issuance proposal, CSSE has filed a registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus a part, with the SEC under the Securities Act that must be declared effective by the SEC and pursuant to which the issuance at the Effective Time of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock comprising the Merger Consideration and the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Redbox’s public and private warrants will be registered with the SEC.

Nasdaq

In addition, the completion of the Mergers is subject to approval for listing of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers and reserved for issuance in connection with the Mergers on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance.

Listing of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock; Delisting and Deregistration of Redbox Class A Common Stock

It is a condition to the consummation of the Mergers that the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable to Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders in connection with the Mergers be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance. Shares of the CSSE Class A Common Stock currently trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the stock symbol “CSSE.”

Shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock currently trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the stock symbol “RDBX”. When the Mergers are completed, Redbox Class A Common Stock will cease to exist and the Redbox Class A Common Stock will cease to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Market and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

It is anticipated that the Redbox public warrants will continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “RDBXW” or will be listed under a new symbol to be publicly announced.

Appraisal Rights or Dissenters’ Rights

CSSE

Under Delaware law, CSSE Stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights in connection with the issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Redbox

Redbox Class A stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Mergers under Redbox’s organizational documents or Delaware law because they are receiving shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class A common stock is expected to continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Market during the pendency of and following the effectiveness of the Mergers and CSSE’s corporate status will not change because the Mergers are being consummated between various subsidiaries of CSSE, on the one hand, and Redbox or Opco LLC, on the other hand. Holders of Redbox Class B Common Stock may be entitled to exercise dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware law because shares of Redbox Class B Common Stock will be cancelled in connection with the Mergers with no consideration. However, holders of all of the Redbox Class B Common Stock and Opco LLC Unit have waived the right to exercise appraisal and dissenter rights in connection with the Mergers under the Redbox Voting Agreement.

This section is only intended to provide you with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. Neither CSSE nor Redbox intends that the Merger Agreement be a source of business or operational information about CSSE or Redbox.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement and this summary of its terms have been included to provide you with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. CSSE and Redbox are responsible for considering whether additional disclosure of material information is required to make the statements in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus not misleading. Factual disclosures about CSSE and Redbox contained in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus or CSSE’s or Redbox’s public reports filed with the SEC may supplement, update, or modify the factual disclosures about CSSE or Redbox contained in the Merger Agreement and described in the summary. The representations, warranties, and covenants made in the Merger Agreement by CSSE and Redbox are qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by CSSE and Redbox in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what is generally relevant to stockholders or applicable to reports and documents filed with the SEC, and in some cases are qualified by confidential disclosures that were made by each party to the other, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement or otherwise publicly disclosed. The representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement will not survive the completion of the Mergers. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of CSSE, Redbox or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Merger Agreement and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus or other public disclosures by CSSE or Redbox. For the foregoing reasons, the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions of those provisions should not be read alone, but instead should be read together with the information provided elsewhere in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus.

Terms of the Mergers; Merger Consideration

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) at the Effective Time, Merger Sub Inc. will merge with and into Redbox, with Redbox surviving the merger as the Surviving Corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CSSE, (ii) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, Opco Merger Sub LLC will merge with and into Opco LLC, with Opco LLC surviving the merger as the surviving company, and (iii) immediately First Company

106

Merger and Opco Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving entity.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (a) each share of Redbox Class A Common Stock will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive 0.087 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock; (b) each Opco LLC Unit will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and (c) each share of Redbox Class B Common Stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.

CSSE will not issue any fractional shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock in connection with the Mergers. In lieu of any fractional shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to which a Redbox Class A stockholder or Opco LLC Unitholder would otherwise have been entitled, the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share based on the aggregate number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued to each such holder.

Closing and Effective Time of the Mergers

Unless the parties agree otherwise, the closing of the Mergers will take place on a date that is three business days following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions to closing (other than any such conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of such conditions).

As soon as practicable on the closing date, a certificate of merger with respect to the First Company Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and, concurrently therewith, a certificate of merger with respect to the Opco Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The First Company Merger and the Opco Merger will each become effective at the same time on the closing date as the parties agree in writing and specify in the applicable certificate of merger. In addition, as soon as practicable on the closing date, a certificate of merger with respect to the Second Company Merger will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Second Company Merger will become effective one minute after the Effective Time, as will be specified in the certificate of merger.

CSSE and Redbox have targeted to complete the Mergers in the third quarter of 2022, subject to receipt of the required CSSE Stockholder approval and Redbox Stockholder approval, any required regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the Mergers (described below under “The Merger Agreement — Conditions Precedent to the Mergers”).

Treatment of Redbox Equity-Based Awards

Prior to the Effective Time, Redbox and CSSE will take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to provide that, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof each vested Redbox RSU Award (including any Redbox RSU Award that vests by its terms as a result of the consummation of the Mergers) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, at the Effective Time, a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of vested Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the total shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued to a holder rounded up to the nearest whole share based on the total of such shares being issued to such holder, less applicable withholding taxes.

Treatment of Redbox Warrants

Each public warrant of Redbox (Nasdaq Symbol: RDBXW) shall remain outstanding following the Mergers through its prescribed term but shall become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such public warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrant based on the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, a holder would be required to surrender warrants to acquire 11.494 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock in order to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the

107

warrants. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio.

Each private warrant of Redbox shall remain outstanding following the Mergers through its prescribed term but become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such private warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrant based on the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, a holder would be required to surrender warrants to acquire 11.494 shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock in order to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio.

Prior to the Effective Time, CSSE will execute an amendment to each of the Redbox private and public warrant agreements as necessary to assumes each such warrant, as applicable, as of the Effective Time in accordance with the terms thereof and the Merger Agreement.

Treatment of Redbox Stock Plan

As of the Effective Time, CSSE shall assume the Redbox Entertainment Inc. (f/k/a Seaport Global Acquisition Corp.) 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan,(as amended, the “Redbox Stock Plan”), including (i) all of the obligations with respect to all awards thereunder, as assumed, cancelled or converted under the terms of such plan and (ii) with respect to any number of shares (as adjusted pursuant to the Exchange Ratio) that remain (or may again become) available for future issuance thereunder (“Remaining Redbox Stock Plan Shares”), subject to any limitations under applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing requirements. In addition, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, CSSE shall file with the SEC one or more appropriate registration statements with respect to all converted awards under the Redbox Stock Plan and all CSSE Class A Common Stock that may be issued in connection with such converted awards and the Remaining Company Stock Plan Shares.

Exchange and Payment Procedures

The conversion of Redbox Class A Common Stock and Opco LLC Units into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the cancellation of Redbox Class B Common Stock for no additional consideration, will occur automatically at the Effective Time. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New York, will be the exchange agent in the Mergers and will exchange book-entry shares and certificates, if applicable, for the Merger Consideration and perform other duties as provided in the Merger Agreement.

Book-Entry Shares

As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no later than the third business day thereafter, the surviving company will cause the exchange agent to issue and send to each holder of uncertificated eligible shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock represented by book entry the Merger Consideration issuable to each holder.

Withholding

Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement and the exchange agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement such amounts it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to making such payment under applicable law; provided that, so long as Opco LLC delivers to CSSE a certificate of non-foreign status for a Opco LLC Unitholder, in a form reasonably acceptable to CSSE, no amount will be deducted or withheld under Code sections 1445 and 1446(f) from the consideration payable to such Opco LLC Unitholder unless there is a change in applicable tax law. To the extent that amounts are so properly deducted or withheld and paid over to the relevant governmental entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of the merger

108

agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made, and, if a portion of the CSSE Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable to a person is withheld hereunder, the relevant withholding party shall be treated as having sold such CSSE Class A Common Stock on behalf of such person for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the required withholding (which fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the CSSE Board) and having paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate governmental entity.

Dividends and Distributions

No dividends or other distributions with respect to CSSE Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to (A) the holder of any unsurrendered Redbox share certificate with respect to the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive upon surrender until the holder hereof shall surrender such certificate or (B) the holder of any Opco LLC Unit with respect to the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof until the holder thereof shall deliver to the exchange agent a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal,

Except as expressly permitted by the Merger Agreement, Redbox will not, and will direct or cause its respective subsidiaries Representatives not to:

•

withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to CSSE or its recommendation to approve and adoption the Merger Agreement and transaction contemplated thereby) its recommendation, recommend or otherwise declare advisable the approval by the Redbox Stockholders of any Takeover Proposal, or publicly propose to take any such actions (any action described in this bullet point being referred to as an “Redbox Adverse Recommendation Change”); or

•

making any “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or

•

making any disclosure to the shareholders of Redbox if the Redbox Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Redbox Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable law.

114

Notwithstanding the above, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Redbox Vote, Redbox receives a written bona fide Takeover Proposal from any third party that the Redbox Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take any of the below actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Redbox Stockholders under applicable law, then Redbox Board may:

•

participate in discussions or negotiations with the third party making such Takeover Proposal;

•

furnish to such third party non-public information relating to Redbox pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitute an Acceptable Confidential Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly (in all events within 48 hours) provided for informational purposes to CSSE);following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, make a Redbox Adverse Recommendation Change; and/or take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders such party to take (which order remains unstayed).

Redbox will, within 48 hours of receipt, notify CSSE of any Takeover Proposal (or any indication that a person is considering making an Takeover Proposal) and the material terms and conditions thereof and will keep CSSE reasonably informed on a timely basis regarding the status and details of any such Takeover Proposal. Redbox will not enter into any confidentiality agreement that would restrict it from complying with its non-solicitation obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Redbox Board may at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Redbox Vote take any of the actions described above constituting an Redbox Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate the Merger Agreement, in each case in response to a Superior Proposal if:

•

Redbox provides CSSE with at least four business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, specifying its reasons for doing so (including the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the person making, the Superior Proposal) and furnishing a copy (if any) of the proposed alternative acquisition agreement and any other relevant transaction documents;

•

Redbox has negotiated, and caused its Representatives to negotiate, with CSSE in good faith during such notice period regarding any revisions proposed by CSSE to the terms of the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

•

following the end of such notice period, the Redbox Board considers any adjusted terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement proposed by CSSE and determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that the Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and the failure to make and Redbox Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate the Merger Agreement to accept the Superior Proposal would reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; and

•

in the event of any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment to any material term of the Superior Proposal, Redbox shall have given CSSE notice of such amendment and a new notice period of two business days.

Additionally, in circumstances not involving an Takeover Proposal, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Redbox Vote, Redbox may take any of the actions described above constituting a Redbox Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Redbox Intervening Event (as defined below) if the Redbox Board has determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law..

•

merger, consolidation, other business combination, or similar transaction involving Redbox or any of its subsidiaries, pursuant to which such person or group (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) would own 20% or more of the consolidated net revenues, net income, or assets of Redbox and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

•

any combination of the foregoing.

A “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Takeover Proposal with respect to Redbox or its subsidiaries (except that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal,” each reference in the definition of “Takeover Proposal” to “20% or more” shall be “more than 50%”) that such party’s board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and such party’s financial advisor) is (a) reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and (b) if consummated, more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of such party’s common stock than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, in each case, after taking into account: (i) all financial considerations; (ii) the identity of the third party making such Takeover Proposal; (iii) the anticipated timing, conditions (including any financing condition or the reliability of any debt or equity funding commitments) and prospects for completion of such Takeover Proposal; (iv) the other terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal and the implications thereof on such party, including relevant legal, regulatory, and other aspects of such Takeover Proposal deemed relevant by such party (including any conditions relating to financing, stockholder approval, regulatory approvals, or other events or circumstances beyond the control of the party invoking the condition); and (v) any revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Mergers proposed by CSSE during the Superior Proposal Notice Period (as set forth in Section 5.04(e) of the Merger Agreement).

(B)   the receipt, existence of or terms of any inquiry, discussion, offer or request that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof; and

(C)   changes in the market price or trading volume of the Redbox Common Stock or the fact that Redbox meets or exceeds internal or external projections or forecasts or any estimates of earnings, revenues, or other financial or other metrics for any period (it being understood that the underlying cause of such change or fact shall not be excluded by this clause (C) from the meaning of “Redbox

116

Intervening Event” or the determination of whether there has been a Redbox Intervening Event so long as such underlying cause does not fall into clause (A) or (B) of this definition).

Efforts to Hold Redbox Special Meeting

Redbox has agreed to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal by Redbox Stockholders as promptly as practicable after the registration statement, of which this proxy statement/information statement/​prospectus forms a part, is declared effective by the SEC. Except as permitted in the Merger Agreement, the Redbox Board must recommend that the stockholders of Redbox vote in favor of the Redbox Merger Proposal at the Redbox Special Meeting and this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus is required to include such recommendation of the Redbox Board.

Redbox may postpone or adjourn the Redbox Special Meeting (i) with the prior written consent of CSSE, (ii) due to the absence of a quorum or if Redbox has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Redbox Common Stock to obtain the Requisite Redbox Vote, whether or not a quorum is present, to solicit additional proxies, or (iii) as reasonably determined by Redbox to comply with applicable law.

Except as permitted in the Merger Agreement, Redbox shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies to obtain the approval of the Redbox Merger Proposal and its obligations with respect to the Redbox Special Meeting will not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Redbox or any other person of any Redbox Takeover Proposal or the occurrence of any Redbox Adverse Recommendation Change.

Efforts to Close the Mergers

Each of the parties have agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date), the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, subject to applicable law and as otherwise required by any governmental entity, shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including promptly furnishing the other party with copies of notices or other communications received from any third party or any governmental entity with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance

The Merger Agreement requires CSSE and the Surviving Company to put in place a “tail policy” with a period of at least six years after the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance. In no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend a one-time premium for such coverage in excess of in excess of 200% of the annual premiums paid by the Company prior to the date of the Merger Agreement in respect of such coverage.

Employee and Employment Benefit Matters

The Merger Agreement provides that, for a period of at least one year following the Effective Time, CSSE will cause the Surviving Company to provide each individual employed by Redbox or its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continues employment with the Surviving Company or

117

its subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (any such individual being referred to as a “Redbox Continuing Employee”) with (i) annual base salary or wage level and annual bonus opportunities that are at least as favorable as that in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) equity incentive opportunities that are comparable to annual or other equity incentive opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of CSSE, and (iii) employee benefits (excluding any retiree health or defined benefit retirement benefits) that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the employee benefits (excluding any retiree health or defined benefit retirement benefits) provided by Redbox and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time. With respect to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by CSSE or any of its subsidiaries, excluding any retiree health plans or programs maintained by CSSE or any of its subsidiaries, any defined benefit retirement plans or programs maintained by CSSE or any of its subsidiaries, and any equity compensation arrangements maintained by CSSE or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “CSSE Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Effective Time, CSSE shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, credit all service of the Company Continuing Employees with Redbox or Opco LLC or any of their respective subsidiaries, as the case may be as if such service were with CSSE, for purposes of eligibility to participate (but not for purposes of vesting or benefit accrual, except for vacation and severance pay) for full or partial years of service in any CSSE Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time; provided, that, such service shall not be credited to the extent that: (i) such crediting would result in a duplication of benefits; or (ii) such service was not credited under the corresponding Company Employee Plan.

Financing Covenant

CSSE expects to execute the New Credit Agreement with HPS concurrently with the closing of the Mergers as described in this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus. CSSE and HPS have entered into the Binding Commitment Letter with respect to the execution of the New Credit Agreement and provision of funding by HPS to CSSE and Redbox thereunder. CSSE has covenanted in the Merger Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to secure the financing under the New Credit Agreement at closing, including complying in all material respects with the Binding Commitment Letter with HPS. If any portion of the financing prescribed by the New Credit Agreement becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Binding Commitment Letter for any reason other than failure of certain conditions prescribed therein, CSSE has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing.

CSSE’s Halcyon Television subsidiary manages the extensive film and television library CSSE acquired from Sonar Entertainment in 2021. This library is distributed by Screen Media and contains more than 1,000 titles, and 4,000 hours of programming, ranging from classics, including The Little Rascals, Laurel & Hardy and Blondie (produced by Hal Roach Studios), to acclaimed epic event mini-series such as Lonesome Dove and Dinotopia. CSSE’s Halcyon library titles have received 446 Emmy Award nominations, 105 Emmy Awards and 15 Golden Globe Awards. In March of 2022, Screen Media acquired 1091 Pictures that provides a diverse library of approximately 4,000 movies and television series.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Television Group, which was formed in the fourth quarter of 2021, houses CSSE’s film and television production activities and produces or co-produces original content for Crackle Plus as well as content for other third-party networks. This group’s production efforts are conducted through a number of affiliates, including Landmark Studio Group, Chicken Soup for the Soul Studios, APLUS.com, the recently acquired Locomotive Global Inc., and Halcyon Studios, which was formed in connection with our acquisition of the assets of Sonar Entertainment. Halcyon Studios develops, produces, finances and distributes high-caliber content for our company for all platforms across a broad spectrum in the U.S. and internationally, including shows such as Hunters(Amazon Prime) and Mysterious Benedict Society (Disney+).

Collectively, Screen Media and Chicken Soup for the Soul Television Group enable CSSE to acquire, produce, co-produce and distribute content, including its original and exclusive content, in support of its streaming services. CSSE believes that it is the only independent, AVOD business with the proven capability to acquire, create and distribute original programming, and that CSSE has one of the largest libraries of company-owned and third-party content in the AVOD industry. CSSE believes that this differentiation is important as consumers materially shift their viewing habits from network-scheduled viewing to individual, personal on-demand viewing in response to the ever-growing availability of high-speed content delivery across devices.

Redbox Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations*

*

To be filed with the Amendment to this Form F-4.

126

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations based upon the combined historical financial statements of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment Inc. (“CSSE”) and Redbox Entertainment Inc. (“Redbox”), after giving effect to the consummation of the Mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The Mergers will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires determination of the accounting acquirer. The accounting guidance provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected through an exchange of equity interests, all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered, including; the relative voting rights of the stockholders of the constituent companies in the combined company, the existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner or organized group of owners has a significant voting interest, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity securities in the business combination, including payment of any premium.

Immediately following the completion of the acquisition, on a fully diluted basis, shareholders of CSSE will own an approximate 76.5% economic interest and shareholders of Redbox’s pre-transaction will own an approximate 23.5% economic interest in the combined company. CSSE is considered to be the acquirer of Redbox for accounting purposes and will allocate the purchase price to the fair value of Redbox’s assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of March 31, 2022 gives effect to the Mergers as if they occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2021, gives effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to CSSE’s acquisition of certain assets of Sonar Entertainment, Inc. (“Sonar”) on May 21, 2021, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflecting the transaction have been prepared in accordance with business combination accounting guidance as provided in FASB ASC Topic 805 and reflect the preliminary allocation of the estimated merger consideration to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. CSSE’s historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger transaction, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger transaction had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of the combined company. In connection with the pro forma condensed combined financial information, CSSE allocated the estimated purchase price using its best estimates of fair value. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other analyses that are not yet final. Accordingly, the pro forma acquisition price adjustments are preliminary and subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. There can be no assurances that the final valuations will not result in material changes to the preliminary estimated purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the transaction or any integration costs. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include certain nonrecurring charges and the related tax effects that result directly from the transaction as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

127

The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of each of CSSE and Redbox included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated herein. For more information, see the sections titled “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of CSSE,” “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of Redbox,” and “Where You Can Find More Information” and the risk factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger transaction, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the transaction and certain other adjustments. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date the proposed transaction closes. CSSE will continue to assess its determination of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period.

CSSE’s and Redbox’s historical results reflect the unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the audited statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. Additionally, CSSE’s historical financial information has been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Sonar on May 21, 2021.

Note 2 — Description of Transaction

On May 10, 2022, CSSE, Merger Sub Inc., Merger Sub LLC, Opco Merger Sub, Redbox, and Opco LLC entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub Inc. will be merged with and into Redbox in the First Company Merger with Redbox continuing as the surviving corporation, and simultaneously with the First Company Merger, Opco Merger Sub will be merged with and into Opco LLC in the Opco Merger, with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving corporation, and immediately following the First Company Merger and the Opco Merger, Redbox will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC in the Subsequent Merger, with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Mergers, Redbox will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE.

Prior to the Mergers, Redbox is converting approximately $27.9 million of its outstanding debt into 4,035,943 shares of Redbox Class B Common Stock and 4,035,943 Opco Units. pursuant to the terms of the B-2 Exchange Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time: (a) each share of Redbox Class A Common Stock will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive 0.087 shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”); (b) each Opco LLC Units will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and (c) each share of Redbox Class B Common Stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.

At the Effective Time the vested and unvested restricted stock units of Redbox (each “Redbox RSU Award”) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time held by each holder will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of vested and unvested Redbox RSU Awards held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time. The shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issued in exchange for the Redbox RSU Awards comprise part of the Merger Consideration. See “The Merger Agreement — Treatment of Redbox Equity-Based Awards.”

Immediately following the completion of the Mergers, on a fully diluted basis, shareholders of CSSE will own an approximate 76.5% economic interest and shareholders of Redbox’s pre-transaction will own an approximate 23.5% economic interest in the combined company. CSSE will retain majority voting control in the combined entity and is considered to be the acquirer of Redbox for accounting purposes.

At the Effective Time, the outstanding public warrants and private warrants of Redbox shall remain outstanding but become the right to receive upon valid exercise thereof shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock subject to such warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, with the total number of shares

132

of CSSE Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants rounded up to the nearest whole share (based on the total number of shares subject to the warrants held by the applicable holder), and with a corresponding change to the exercise price of such warrants based on the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of the warrant agreements governing the Redbox warrants, the per-share exercise price for such warrants will become $132.18 per share of CSSE Class A Common Stock. This is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the 0.087 Exchange Ratio. It is anticipated that the Redbox public warrants will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under its current symbol following the Mergers.

Note 3 — Reclassification Adjustments

The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in CSSE’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. With the information currently available, CSSE has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Redbox’s consolidated financial statements to the accounting policies used by CSSE in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The reclassification adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report CSSE’s financial condition and results of operations as if the Mergers were completed.

The combined company will finalize the review of accounting policies and reclassifications after the transaction closes, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein. The reclassification adjustments currently identified are as follows:

Note 4 — Estimated Merger Consideration

The estimated value of the Merger Consideration for the purpose of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is approximately $29.5 million based on the $6.64 per share closing price of CSSE Class A Common Stock as of May 31, 2022. The actual value of Merger Consideration will change based on changes in the market share price of CSSE Class A Common Stock price and the number of shares of Redbox Class A Common Stock, RSUs and warrants outstanding on the closing date of the Mergers. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimate of the value of the Merger Consideration (amounts in thousands):

Fair value of CSSE Class A Common Stock issued	$	28,551
Fair value of consideration paid for the Redbox RSUs	​	291
Fair value of Redbox warrants converted into CSSE warrants	​	618
Estimated Merger Consideration	$	29,460

The final value of the Merger Consideration could significantly differ from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information due to movements in the market price of CSSE Class A Common Stock through the closing of the Mergers. A sensitivity analysis related to the fluctuation in CSSE Class A Common Stock price was performed to assess the impact of a hypothetical change of 10% on the closing price of such CSSE Class A Common Stock on the estimated value of the Merger Consideration and goodwill as of an assumed closing date of the Mergers.

The following table shows the estimated purchase consideration and goodwill resulting from a change in share price of the CSSE Class A Common Stock (amounts in thousands except share price):

Change in Share Price	Share Price			Estimated Purchase Consideration			Estimated Goodwill
Increase of 10%	​	$	7.30	​	$	32,406	​	$	103,181
Decrease of 10%	​	$	5.98	​	$	26,514	​	$	97,165

Note 5 — Allocation of Estimated Merger Consideration

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Redbox will be recognized and measured at fair value as of the closing date of the combination and added to those of CSSE. The determination of fair value used in the transaction-related adjustments presented herein are preliminary and based on management estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Mergers. The costs of finite-lived intangible assets are amortized through expense over their estimated lives. The final allocation of the merger consideration, upon the completion of the Mergers, will be based on Redbox’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Therefore, the actual allocations will differ from the transaction accounting adjustments presented herein. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma allocation of the merger consideration will be subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated value of the Merger Consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Redbox based on Redbox’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022, with the excess recorded to goodwill (amounts in thousands):

Net acquired tangible assets	​	(320,613)

DESCRIPTION OF CSSE COMMON STOCK

General

CSSE is authorized to issue 140 million shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock, 20 million shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock, and 40 million shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this proxy statement/​information statement/prospectus, there were [•] shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock outstanding, [•] shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock outstanding, and [•] shares of preferred stock outstanding, all of which are designated as 9.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock.

Voting Rights

Holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock have substantially identical rights, except that holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of the CSSE Stockholders, unless otherwise required by law or our charter. See “Description of CSSE Common Stock — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of CSSE Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws,” below.

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of CSSE directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

CSSE’s outstanding Series A preferred stock generally has no voting rights.

Dividend Rights

Shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends or distributions as may be declared and paid from time to time by the board of directors out of any assets legally available therefor.

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

CSSE Common Stock does not provide for any preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions

Subject to the preferential or other rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding, upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all of CSSE assets available for distribution to its stockholders unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by the affirmative vote (or written consent if action by written consent of stockholders is permitted at such time under CSSE’s certificate of incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Merger or Consolidation

In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock or CSSE Class B Common Stock upon CSSE’s consolidation or merger with or into any other entity, or in the case of any other transaction having an effect on the CSSE Stockholders substantially similar to that resulting from a consolidation or merger, such distribution or payment shall be made ratably on a per share basis among the holders of the CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock as a single class; provided, however, that shares of one such class may receive different or disproportionate distributions or payments in connection with such merger, consolidation or other transaction if (i) the only difference in the per share distribution to the holders of the CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock is that any securities distributed to the holder of a share CSSE Class B Common Stock have ten times the voting power of any securities distributed to the holder of a share of CSSE Class A

140

Common Stock, or (ii) such merger, consolidation or other transaction is approved by the affirmative vote (or written consent if action by written consent of stockholders is permitted at such time under CSSE’s certificate of incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Conversion

The outstanding shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock are convertible at any time as follows: (1) at the option of the holder, a share of CSSE Class B Common Stock may be converted at any time into one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock or (2) upon the election of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock, all outstanding shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock may be converted into shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock. Once converted into CSSE Class A Common Stock, the CSSE Class B Common Stock will not be reissued.

Warrants

CSSE has outstanding certain classes of warrants as described below.

Class W and Class Z Warrants

Each outstanding Class W warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at a price of $7.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. Each Class W warrant is exercisable at any time through June 30, 2023 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

Each outstanding Class Z warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of CSSE Class A Common Stock at a price of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. Each Class Z warrant is exercisable at any time through June 30, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

Cancellation

CSSE may call for cancellation of all or any portion of the Class W warrants or Class Z warrants for which a notice of exercise has not yet been delivered to us for consideration equal to $.01 per Class W warrant or Class Z warrant, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of such warrants, if (i) the CSSE Class A common stock is traded, listed or quoted on any U.S. market or electronic exchange, and (ii) the closing per-share sales price of the Class A common stock for any twenty (20) trading days during a consecutive thirty (30) trading days period exceeds $15.00, for Class W warrants, or $18.00, for Class Z warrants, in each case subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, stock dividends and the like.

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the call notice. On and after the call date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the call price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant.

The criteria for calling the Class W or Class Z warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of a call, the call will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.

Exercise Rights

Holders of the Class W warrants and Class Z warrants have cashless exercise rights that allow each holder to pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose will mean the average reported last sale price of the shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise.

141

The exercise price and number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or CSSE’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, neither the Class W warrants nor the Class Z warrants will be adjusted for issuances of shares of any equity or equity-based securities at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the Class Q or Class Z warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Class W warrants or Class Z warrants. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, CSSE will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Class I, II, III-A and III-B Warrants

Each Class I, Class II, Class III-A, and Class III-B warrant is exercisable for shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock for a five-year term that commenced on May 14, 2019. The Class I warrant has an exercise price of $8.13 per share, the Class II warrant has an exercise price of $9.67 per share, and the Class III-A and III-B warrants have an exercise price of $11.61 per share.

The exercise price and number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or CSSE’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Class I, Class II, Class III-A and Class III-B warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of any equity or equity-based securities at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The Class I, Class II, Class III-A and Class III-B warrants have cashless exercise rights that allow each holder to pay the exercise price by surrendering warrants for that number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (x) the product of the number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock underlying such warrants multiplied by the “fair market value” less (y) the product of the number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock underlying such warrants multiplied by the exercise price then in effect, by (ii) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose means the closing sale price or bid price of the CSSE Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of exercise, if the CSSE Class A Common Stock is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or the fair market value per share as determined by an independent appraiser, if the CSSE Class A Common Stock is not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange.

The holders of CSSE’s Class I, Class II, Class III-A and Class III-B warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of CSSE Class A Common Stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Class I, Class II, Class III-A and Class III-B Warrants. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, CSSE will, upon exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of CSSE’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws

Special meeting of stockholders

CSSE’s bylaws provide that special meetings of the CSSE Stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of the CSSE Board, or by CSSE’s chairman and chief executive officer or by CSSE’s secretary

142

at the request in writing of the CSSE Stockholders owning a majority of the voting power of the CSSE Common Stock, voting as a single class.

Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations

CSSE’s bylaws provide that CSSE Stockholders seeking to bring business before CSSE’s annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at CSSE’s annual meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be delivered to CSSE’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 60th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the scheduled date of the annual meeting of stockholders. In the event that less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting of stockholders is given, a stockholder’s notice shall be timely if delivered to CSSE’s principal executive offices not later than the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of CSSE’s annual meeting of stockholders is first made or sent by CSSE. CSSE’s bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude the CSSE Stockholders from bringing matters before CSSE’s annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at CSSE’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Dual Voting Structure

CSSE’s certificate of incorporation provides for two classes of common stock. Holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock have substantially identical rights, except that holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by law. Accordingly, the holders of shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock will exert significant control over CSSE’s actions.

Removal and Appointment of Directors

CSSE’s entire board of directors or any individual director may be removed from office with or without cause by a majority vote of the holders of the voting power of outstanding voting power of the shares of CSSE Common Stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors. In such case, new directors may be elected by the stockholders then holding a majority of such voting power. CSSE’s current chairman and chief executive officer, William J. Rouhana, Jr., beneficially owns [•] shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock and [•] shares of CSSE Class B Common Stock, and therefore controls the substantial majority of the voting power of the CSSE Common Stock and therefore will be able to unilaterally exercise the foregoing rights.

Class B Approval Required for Charter Amendments

Any amendment to the CSSE certificate of incorporation requires the approval of the majority of the outstanding CSSE Class B Common Stock. This approval requirement is separate and in addition to any general stockholder approval that would be required under CSSE’s certificate of incorporation and law.

Exclusive Forum Selection

Article Twelve of CSSE’s certificate of incorporation provides that, unless CSSE consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any CSSE stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of CSSE, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of CSSE to CSSE or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or CSSE’s charter documents, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court located within the State of Delaware, or if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. While this provision is intended to include all actions, excluding any arising under the

143

Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act of 1934 and any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision.

Limitation on Directors’ Liability and Indemnification

CSSE’s certificate of incorporation provides that no director of CSSE will be personally liable to CSSE or any of the CSSE Stockholders for monetary damages arising from the director’s breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, this does not apply with respect to any action in which the director would be liable under Section 174 of the DGCL nor does it apply with respect to any liability in which the director (i) breached his duty of loyalty to CSSE or the CSSE Stockholders; (ii) did not act in good faith or, in failing to act, did not act in good faith; (iii) acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or (iv) derived an improper personal benefit. This provision could have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against CSSE’s directors and may discourage or deter the CSSE Stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against CSSE’s directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited CSSE and its stockholders.

CSSE’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that all directors and officers shall be entitled to be indemnified by CSSE to the fullest extent permitted by law. The certificate of incorporation provides that CSSE may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law all employees. CSSE’s bylaws provide that, if authorized by the CSSE Board, CSSE may indemnify any other person whom it has the power to indemnify under section 145 of the DGCL. CSSE has entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in CSSE’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. CSSE also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or person controlling CSSE pursuant to the foregoing provisions, CSSE has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law

Provisions of the DGCL and CSSE’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire CSSE by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that CSSE’s board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of CSSE to first negotiate with the CSSE Board. CSSE believes that the benefits of increased protection of CSSE’s ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure CSSE outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in improved terms for the CSSE Stockholders.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute.

CSSE is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the acquisition of shares that resulted in a stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

144

Amendments to CSSE Certificate of Incorporation.

Under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote thereon is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Under the DGCL, the holders of the outstanding shares of a class of CSSE’s capital stock shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation, if the amendment would:

•

increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class;

•

increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class; or

•

alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely.

If any proposed amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of one or more series of any class of CSSE’s capital stock so as to affect them adversely, but shall not so affect the entire class, then only the shares of the series so affected by the amendment shall be considered a separate class for the purposes of this provision.

COMPARISON OF EQUITYHOLDER RIGHTS

Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders will receive shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock in the Mergers. Opco LLC is a Delaware limited liability company subject to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”). CSSE and Redbox are both Delaware corporations subject to the DGCL. If the Mergers are completed, the rights of Redbox Stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders who become CSSE Stockholders through the receipt of CSSE Class A Common Stock and the rights of CSSE Stockholders will be governed by the DGCL, the CSSE certificate of incorporation and the CSSE bylaws. The following summary compares the rights of Redbox Class A stockholders and Opco LLC Unitholders to the rights of CSSE Stockholders.

Voting Rights

The DGCL provides that each stockholder must be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation.

CSSE’s certificate of incorporation provides that each of the CSSE Stockholders is entitled to one vote for each share of CSSE Class A Common Class Stock held of record by such CSSE Stockholder and ten votes for each share of CSSE Class B Common Stock held of record by such CSSE Stockholder. The CSSE Stockholders holding CSSE Class A Common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters. The holders of CSSE Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. CSSE’s bylaws provide that other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. At the option of the holder, a share of CSSE Class B Common Stock Redbox’s certificate of incorporation provides that each Redbox Stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Redbox Common Stock held of record by such Redbox Stockholder.

Number of Directors and Size of Board

The DGCL provides that the board of directors of a Delaware corporation must consist of one or more directors as fixed by the company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

The CSSE Board currently has nine members. The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of the CSSE Board, but the number of directors may not be decreased if it would have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director. The Redbox Board currently has five members. Redbox’s bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.

Term of Directors

The DGCL provides that directors of a Delaware corporation may, by the company’s certificate of incorporation or by the company’s bylaws, be divided into one, two or three classes.

CSSE’s certificate of incorporation provides that all directors are to be elected annually. Each director holds office until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or otherwise until his or her earlier death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal. Redbox’s certificate of incorporation provides that the directors shall be divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The members of each class serve staggered, three-year terms (other than with respect to the initial terms of the Class I and Class II directors, which will be one and two years, respectively). Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders for the year in which such director’s term expires and a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Election of Directors

Under the certificate of incorporation, CSSE’s Board shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares cast; provided that, whenever the holders of any class or series of capital stock of CSSE are entitled to elect one or more directors pursuant to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, such directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by such holders. Under the certificate of incorporation, Redbox’s Board shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares cast; provided that, whenever the holders of any class or series of capital stock of Redbox are entitled to elect one or more directors pursuant to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, such directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by such holders.

Removal of Directors

Under CSSE’s bylaws, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Under the certificate of incorporation, subject to certain exceptions in the Stockholder’s Agreement and special rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock to elect directors, the

147

Redbox Board or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of Redbox entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Vacancies

The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, even if the number of directors then in office is less than a quorum.

Under CSSE’s bylaws, any vacancy on the CSSE Board that results from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause and newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director (but not by the common stockholders except as required by law). Any director elected to fill a vacancy will hold office until the first meeting of stockholders held after his or her appointment for the purpose of electing directors and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal from office. Under Redbox’s bylaws, any vacancy on the Redbox Board that results from death, resignation, removal from office or other cause and newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office for a term expiring on the date of the next following annual meeting. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in accordance with the DGCL. When one or more directors shall resign from the Redbox Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in the filling of the other vacancies.

Quorum for Board Meetings

The DGCL provides that in no case will a quorum be less than one-third of the authorized number of directors.

Each of CSSE’s and Redbox’s bylaws provide that the presence of at least a majority of the total number of authorized directors constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the corporation’s board (except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or each corporation’s charter).

Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Under the DGCL, if a corporation does not hold an annual meeting to elect directors within the thirteen-month period following its last annual meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the application of any stockholder or director.

Each of CSSE’s and Redbox’s bylaws provide that annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such dates and times as shall be designated by the corporation’s board and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which time the stockholders shall elect a board of directors and transact such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.

Quorum for Stockholder Meetings

Under the DGCL and each of CSSE’s and Redbox’s bylaws the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business.

148

Notice of Annual and Special Meetings of Stockholders

Under the DGCL and each of CSSE’s and Redbox’s bylaws notice of any meeting of stockholders must be sent not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

Calling Special Meetings of Stockholders

The DGCL provides that special meetings may be called by the board of directors or by such person as may be authorized by the certificate of incorporation or by the bylaws.

Special meetings of stockholders may only be called by the CSSE Board by a resolution approved by a majority of the directors of CSSE at the time in office, or by the order of the chief executive officer or chairman of the board, or by written request of the holders of a majority of the outstanding CSSE Common Stock (i.e., the CSSE Class A common Stock and CSSE Class B Common Stock, as a single class). Redbox’s certificate of incorporation provides that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Redbox Board or by a resolution adopted by a majority of the directors of Redbox. The stockholders do not have the power to call a special meeting of stockholders of Redbox.

Stockholders Action by Written Consent

The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of issued and outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

CSSE’s certificate of incorporation does not contain any prohibition on stockholders acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Redbox’s certificate of incorporation does not allow any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders to be effected by written consent.

Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the DGCL, the power to make, alter or repeal bylaws is conferred upon the stockholders. A corporation may, however, in its certificate of incorporation also confer upon the board of directors the power to make, alter or repeal its bylaws.

Under the certificate of incorporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of CSSE’s Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal CSSE’s bylaws. Under the certificate of incorporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of Redbox’s Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal Redbox’s bylaws.

Limitation on Liability of Directors

Delaware has adopted a law that allows corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of directors’ fiduciary duty of care. An amendment, repeal or elimination of such a provision shall not affect its application with respect to an act or omission by a director occurring before such amendment, repeal or elimination unless the provision provides otherwise at the time of such act or omission. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations allowed by the law, directors are accountable to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for acts of gross negligence. Although the Delaware law does not change directors’ duty of care, it allows corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. CSSE’s and Redbox’s certificate of incorporation limits the liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by this law.

149

Specifically, each of CSSE’s and Redbox’s directors is not personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of their fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

•

for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

•

for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or

•

for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

This limitation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors, and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the corporation’s stockholders.

To the extent that a present or former director or officer of CSSE or Redbox has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any threatened, pending, or completed proceeding referred to in Section 145(a) or (b) of the DGCL, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

Each of CSSE and Redbox may maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the respective corporation or is or was serving at the request of the respective corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the respective corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability.

Any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses conferred upon any current or former director or officer of CSSE or Redbox are contractual and shall continue as vested contract rights even if such person ceases to be a director, officer or employee of CSSE or Redbox. Any amendment, repeal, or modification of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with the rights conferred under each of CSSE’s and Redbox’s bylaws shall not adversely affect any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted to any person pursuant hereto with respect to any act or omission of such person occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption (regardless of whether the proceeding relating to such acts or omissions, or any proceeding relating to such person’s rights to indemnification or to advancement of expenses, is commenced before or after the time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption), and any such amendment, repeal, elimination, modification, or adoption that would adversely affect such person’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be ineffective as to such person, except with respect to any threatened, pending, or completed proceeding that relates to or arises from (and only to the extent such proceeding relates to or arises from) any act or omission of such person occurring after the Effective Time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption.

Anti-takeover Provisions

CSSE has no shareholder rights plan in place. CSSE maintains a dual-class common stock structure, with the CSSE Class B Common Stock having super voting rights as described above. The CSSE Class B Common Stock is not publicly traded and the ultimate beneficial ownership thereof is concentrated in CSSE’s chief executive officer and certain of his affiliates. The certificate of incorporation of CSSE contains certain other protective provisions, including (a) provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to call a special Redbox has no shareholder rights plan in place.

150

meeting, (b) advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations, (c) allowance for the removal of board members with or without cause and (d) requirement of approval of the majority of the outstanding CSSE Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, for any amendment to CSSE’s certificate of incorporation.

Exclusive Forum

Under the certificate of incorporation, unless CSSE consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder to bring (i) any derivative action, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) any action asserting a claim against CSSE, the CSSE Board, officers or any employees arising pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against CSSE, the CSSE Board, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Under the certificate of incorporation, unless Redbox consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder to bring (i) any derivative action, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Redbox, the Redbox Board, officers or any employees arising pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against Redbox, the Redbox Board, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those stockholders. This process, commonly called “householding,” provides cost savings for companies. Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker.

Requests for additional copies of this proxy statement/information statement/prospectus should be directed to, as applicable, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc., 132 E Putnam Ave, Cos Cob, CT 06807, Telephone: (855) 398-0443, or Redbox Entertainment Inc., 1 Tower Lane, Suite 800, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, 60181, Telephone: (630) 756-8010.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1:   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods have been included.

Readers of this unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated quarterly financial information should refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto of Redbox Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Redbox,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and also available on our website (www.redbox.com). Certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements or which are not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting have been condensed or omitted.

Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and estimates. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.

Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives

Historically, rentals have been correlated with the number and quality of new theatrical titles released in a quarter. During 2021 and for the first three months of 2022, Redbox’s business was negatively impacted by the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in fewer than expected theatrical releases. In addition, the significant increase in impacts from the Omicron variant caused further disruption to the business. As such, Redbox rentals have not recovered to the extent expected and, notwithstanding the year-over-year increase in new theatrical releases, were lower than pre-COVID-19 levels. As part of an effort to expand its business and transform into a multi-faceted entertainment company, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and into the first three months of 2022, Redbox increased its marketing and on-demand expenditures. Costs also increased as Redbox purchased more content, which were not offset by an increase in revenues.

Redbox has been exploring a number of potential strategic alternatives with respect to the Company’s corporate or capital structure and seeking financing to fund operations and one-time restructuring costs. In March 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors established a Strategic Review Committee to, among other things, consider and oversee strategic alternatives or transactions that may be available to the Company with respect to its corporate or capital structure. Redbox is also executing on a previously announced series of restructuring actions and initiatives to improve its efficiency and reduce its cost structure, including, but not limited to, (i) optimizing its kiosk network and (ii) executing a workforce reduction across its supply chain and corporate teams. However, the risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the strategic initiatives outlined below, within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $14.8 million, had an accumulated deficit of $334.4 million and negative working capital of $79.8 million. The Company evaluated the impact of the additional financing and restructuring actions and initiatives further described below on its ability to continue as a going concern.

F-6

On March 29, 2022, the Company completed a reduction in force of 150 employees. One-time restructuring charges of $3.8 million were incurred, the substantial amount of which related to severance. The Company estimates that the workforce reduction will decrease its annual operating costs by approximately $13.1 million.

On April 15, 2022 certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into the Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 6, amending its Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lenders (as defined in the Sixth Amendment) agreed to make available to certain subsidiaries of the Company Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an aggregate amount equal to $50.0 million (subsequently restricted to $45.0 million, as discussed in further detail in Note 17: Subsequent Events), the proceeds of which will be used to make payments in accordance with the Budget Plan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and pay certain fees and expenses. The details of the Sixth Amendment and its terms and conditions are discussed in further detail below in Note 6: Debt.

As a further condition of the Sixth Amendment, the Company issued to HPS Investment Partners, LLC (the administrative agent and collateral agent to the Credit Agreement) and certain affiliates (as defined in the Credit Agreement) warrants, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “HPS Warrants”), to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in the event certain milestones were not met under the Amended Credit Agreement. Upon signing of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the HPS Warrants became void and all rights of the warrant holders thereunder to exercise the HPS Warrants ceased.

In connection with the Sixth Amendment, on April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with AP VIII Aspen Holdings, L.P. (“Aspen”), Seaport Global SPAC, LLC and Redwood Holdco, LP (“Redwood”), (collectively the “Stockholders”), whereby the Stockholders agreed to vote their shares of the Company (i) in favor of any strategic transaction approved and recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), or any committee to which the Board delegates authority, subject to certain terms and conditions (each, a “Transaction”), (ii) in opposition to any transaction involving the Company that has not been approved and recommend by the Board, and (iii) in favor of any directors that are proposed or nominated to the Board by the Company at any annual meeting of the Company.

The Company further agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to (i) permanently reduce a portion of the Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses).

In connection with the execution of the Sixth Amendment, the Company also implemented certain changes to the composition and size of its Board of Directors as further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 19, 2022. The Strategic Review Committee of the Board was also dissolved in connection with these changes.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Voting and Support Agreement, Redwood permanently waived the “Early Termination Payment” by the Company (or an affiliate) to Redwood that could have resulted from a provision in that certain Tax Receivable Agreement dated as of October 22, 2021 (“TRA”), which would have been triggered upon the change to the Board’s composition.

Additionally, under the Voting and Support Agreement, the Company and Redwood agreed, in connection with the consummation of a Transaction, to (a) terminate the TRA upon the consummation of a Transaction and (b) waive all claims under the TRA with such waiver being effective upon the consummation of such Transaction.

On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (“CSSE”), pursuant to which, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result, additional borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility became available upon the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with CSSE provided, that the Company, under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility, restricts its

F-7

borrowings to $45.0 million. See Note 17: Subsequent Events and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 11, 2022 for additional information regarding the CSSE merger.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to implement one or more of the contemplated strategic alternatives, an event of default will occur under the Credit Agreement, and the Company could continue to experience adverse pressures on its relationships with counterparties who are critical to its business, its ability to access the capital markets, its ability to execute on its operational and strategic goals and its business, prospects, results of operations and liquidity generally. There can be no assurance as to when or whether the implementation of one or more of the Company’s strategic initiatives will be successful, or as to the effects the failure to take action may have on the Company’s business, its ability to achieve its operational and strategic goals or its ability to finance its business or refinance its indebtedness. A failure to address these matters, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and its ability to service or refinance its corporate debt as it becomes due.

Note 3:   Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and not restated comparative periods; rather the effect of the change is recorded at the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows us to carryforward historical lease classification. In addition, we are electing the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. Lastly, we elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for our leases. This means for short-term leases, we will not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU asset or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. In preparation for adoption of the standard, we have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information.

The Company recorded ROU assets of $9.1 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of $9.4 million as of January 1, 2022. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

The Company has operating leases primarily for office space, distribution centers, and other equipment. The Company also has finance leases for their fleet. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately 4 years. Most leases are not cancelable prior to their expiration. The expected term of the lease used for computing the lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and determining the classification of the lease as operating or financing may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and

F-8

circumstances present, such as, whether a contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration

Operating Leases.   Operating lease ROU assets, representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, are reflected in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities, representing the present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments over the lease term, are reflected in “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, non-current portion” in the Company’s March 31, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases which have an initial term of 12 months or less. These short-term leases are not recorded on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance Leases.   Finance lease ROU assets are included in “Property and equipment, net” and finance lease liabilities are included in the “Accrued and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in the Company’s March 31, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Although separation of lease and non-lease components is required, certain practical expedients are available to entities. We will not elect to take advantage of the ability to combine lease and non-lease components. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

The present value of the lease payments is calculated using a rate implicit in the lease, when readily determinable. However, as most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for the majority of its leases.

Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities at lease inception. All other variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities.

The components of lease cost were as follows:

Dollars in thousands	Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Operating lease cost	​	$	1,032
Finance lease cost	​	​	​
Amortization of right-of-use assets	​	​	709

Total finance least cost	​	$	738

Note 4:   Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed a quantitative impairment analysis for goodwill related to its Legacy and Digital reporting units due to its financial performance. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded the fair value of its Legacy and Digital reporting units exceeded its carrying value and as such, no impairment charge was recorded.

As part of the Company’s impairment analysis, the determination of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions including the business and financial performance of the Company’s reporting units, as well as how such performance may be impacted by COVID-19. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies, control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which the Company competes, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures, including considering the impact of COVID-19. Certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately affect the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units include such

F-10

items as: (i) a decrease in expected future new release movie titles resulting from the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (ii) an increase in competition across streaming platforms resulting in fewer titles available at Redbox or fewer rental transactions and (iii) the inability to achieve cost savings or growth initiative targets within an expected timeframe.

Although the Company believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions, including the impact of COVID- 19, could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of any goodwill impairment charges, or both. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the impact of COVID-19, its severity, duration and its impact on global economies, general economic conditions as well as the Company’s profitability. The Company will continue to monitor these potential impacts, including the impact of COVID-19 and economic, industry and market trends and the impact these may have on its Legacy and Digital reporting units.

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by reportable segment:

Dollars in thousands	Legacy Business			Digital Business			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2021	​	$	144,014	​	$	3,509	​	$	147,523

The Company recognized amortization expense of $17.9 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

There was no impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately affect the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future new release movie titles resulting from the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (ii) an increase in competition across streaming platforms resulting in fewer titles available at Redbox or fewer rental transactions and (iii) the inability to achieve cost savings or growth initiative targets within an expected timeframe.

On October 20, 2017, Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“RAR”) entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which provided for:

•

a first lien term loan facility (the “Term Loan B”), in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million, with a five-year maturity; and

•

a first lien revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan B, the “Senior Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, with a five-year maturity.

The Term Loan B was made available to RAR immediately upon closing and was used in part to retire all $280.0 million of the Company’s existing debt and to settle closing costs associated with the new Term Loan B totaling $19.5 million of which $4.6 million was paid to Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo, for services provided in connection with the financing. The balance of the Term Loan B proceeds were used towards a dividend, occurring on the same day, with total dividends of $160.0 million to equity holders of RAR. Additionally, at the execution of the new Credit Agreement, RAR wrote-off unamortized deferred financing costs of $21.7 million related to the extinguishment of the entire debt under the prior credit agreement.

On September 7, 2018, RAR entered into an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) an incremental Term B-1 Loan (“Term Loan B-1”) in an original aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million and (ii) the payment of one or more restricted payments to shareholders of RAR in an aggregate amount not to exceed $115.0 million. The proceeds received from the Amendment along with cash flow from the business were used towards a dividend distribution to equity holders of RAR totaling $115.0 million that

F-12

was paid within five business days of September 7, 2018, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Amendment totaling $3.7 million. The additional loan under Term Loan B-1 has terms identical to the original Term Loan B.

On September 30, 2020, RAR entered into the second amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to, among other things, increase the total net leverage covenant during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement and revise the quarterly amortization payment schedule.

On December 28, 2020, RAR entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The amendment deferred the December 2020 amortization payment to March 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Senior Facilities matured on October 20, 2022, and subsequent to the Amendment, Second Amendment and Third Amendment consisted of:

•

the Term Loan B, in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million;

•

the Term Loan B-1, in an aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million; and

•

the Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million.

As of March 31, 2022 there was no remaining borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 29, 2021, RAR entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) deferral of principal amortization payments until the maturity date (ii) extension of the maturity date to April 2023, (iii) at RAR’s election, subject to certain liquidity thresholds, payment PIK interest, and, (iv) removal of all financial covenant requirements.

In addition, under the Fourth Amendment, RAR incurred an incremental first lien term loan B-2 facility (“Term Loan B-2” and, together with Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1, the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million which was provided by New Outerwall Inc. The loan was subsequently assigned to Aspen Parent, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo and therefore a related party of the Company. The proceeds from the loan were used for general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, interest is payable on the Senior Facilities entirely in cash or, for a specified period, could be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Senior Facilities (PIK interest), or through a combination of cash and PIK interest, subject to certain liquidity thresholds. Borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at a rate at RAR’s option, either (a) a London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the prime rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal (or another national publication selected by the administrative agent) and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Facilities is 7.25% with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings (increasing to 8.25% if PIK interest is paid) and 6.25% with respect to ABR Borrowings (increasing to 7.25% if PIK interest is paid).

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Facilities, RAR is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. RAR is also required to pay customary agency fees.

In connection with the Business Combination, on May 16, 2021, RAR entered into another amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, provided consent to the planned Business Combination and among other things, extended the Senior Facilities maturity date to October 2023 and subordinated the Term Loan B-2 to the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1. In addition, among other things, concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid $50.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Senior Facilities including $15.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $35.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1.

F-13

On October 11, 2021, RAR entered into a consent to the Fifth Amendment to make certain additional changes to the Credit Agreement, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, including extending the maturity date of the Senior Facilities to April, 2024 and extending the PIK interest option until December 31, 2022 (subject to a minimum pro forma liquidity).

On April 15, 2022, RAR entered into a sixth amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) (capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Credit Agreement as amended through the Sixth Amendment). Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, an additional aggregate $50.0 million in financing under the Credit Agreement have been made available to the Company subject to certain conditions, the proceeds of which will be used to make payments in accordance with the Budget Plan and pay certain fees and expenses. From April 15, 2022 until the Signing Deadline Date, borrowings under the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility were limited to no more than $15.0 million in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, additional borrowings of $35.0 million became available on May 10, 2022, as a result of the Company entrance into a merger agreement with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”), pursuant to which, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE. See Note 17: Subsequent Events in Redbox’s Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the CSSE merger. Pursuant to the CSSE merger agreement, such merger shall be consummated not later than October 31, 2022.

Changes to the Credit Agreement effected by the Sixth Amendment included the following:

•

Call protection on the loans was modified so that at any time prior to maturity, a make-whole payment will be payable (i) on the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans if such loans are repaid or prepaid with a corresponding permanent commitment reduction and (ii) on the existing Term B Loans, Term B-1 Loans, and Revolving Facility Loans on the amount of such loan repaid or prepaid. The make-whole will not be payable if such loans are prepaid in full upon the consummation of the Company Sale on or prior to the Company Sale Outside Date.

•

Events of Default were added including:

•

Failure to meet Company Sale Milestones (including failure to consummate the Company Sale by October 31, 2022 (or such later date as agreed by the Administrative Agent)).

•

Failure to meet cost-cutting milestones, subject to a 5 day grace period.

•

Termination of an Acceptable Purchase Agreement other than in connection with the replacement thereof with certain replacement purchase agreements acceptable to the Administrative Agent, subject to a 5 day grace period.

•

Termination or cessation of validity of Voting and Support Agreement.

Union Revolving Credit Facility

On December 29, 2020, Redbox Entertainment, LLC entered into a four-year, $20.0 million revolving credit facility with Union Bank (the “Union Revolving Credit Facility”). The facility is used exclusively to pay for minimum guarantees, license fees and related distribution expenses for original content obtained under the Company’s Redbox Entertainment label. Borrowings outstanding under the Union Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $4.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Borrowings under the Union Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at either the alternate base rate or LIBOR (based on an interest period selected by the Company of one month, three months or six months) in each case plus a margin. The alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (i) the base rate in effect on such date, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1∕2 of 1.0%, and (iii) daily one month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The revolving credit facility borrowings that are LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR plus a margin of 0.50%. The borrowing interest rate for the Union Revolving Credit Facility was 4.25% as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

On April 15, 2022, the Company agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to (i) permanently reduce a portion of the Union Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to $10.6 million (and the Company made such reduction) and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing under

F-14

the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen and Redwood Holdco, LP (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses). Availability under the Union Revolving Credit Facility as of May 10, 2022 is $2.3 million.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Union Revolving Credit Facility, Redbox Entertainment, LLC is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder.

Dividend Restrictions

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including a limitation on the Company’s ability to pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments. The covenant prohibiting dividends and other restricted payments has certain limited exceptions, including for customary overhead, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses; taxes; customary salary, bonus and other benefits; and up to $1.03 million for dividends that were accrued on equity interests that were unvested as of the payment of the Company’s last dividend in 2018 and have subsequently vested.

Interest Rates and Fees

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the borrowing interest rate for the Senior Facilities was 9.25%.

Amortization and Prepayments

Required minimum principal amortization payments under the Senior Facilities as of March 31, 2022, are as follows:

Dollars in thousands	Repayment Amount
2022	​	$	38,394
2023	​	​	—
2024	​	​	271,562
Total	​	$	309,956

In addition, the Senior Facilities require RAR to prepay outstanding term loan borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, with:

•

a certain percentage set forth in the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Facilities of RAR’s annual excess cash flow, as defined under the Senior Facilities;

•

a certain percentage of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, other dispositions of property or certain casualty events, in each case subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights; and

•

the net cash proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the Senior Facilities.

RAR may voluntarily repay outstanding loans that are funded solely by internally generated cash from business operations under the Senior Facilities at any time, without prepayment premium or penalty, except customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR rate loans.

All obligations under the Senior Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by each of RAR’s existing and future direct and indirect material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and the direct parent of RAR. The obligations are secured by a pledge of substantially all of RAR’s assets and those of each guarantor, including capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain exceptions, and its capital stock owned by RAR’s direct parent. Such security interests consist of a first-priority lien with respect to the collateral.

F-15

All obligations under the Union Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company’s Redbox Entertainment, LLC entity.

Letters of Credit

As required under the Senior Facilities, the Company has a letter of credit arrangement to provide for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The arrangement supports the collateral requirements for insurance claims and is good for one year to be renewed annually if necessary. The letter of credit is cash-collateralized at 105% in the amount of $3.1 million and $3.4 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

In October 2021, the Company entered into a letter of credit arrangement of $0.8 million that serves as a security deposit for leased warehouse space and is pledged by an equal amount of cash pledged as collateral.

The Company’s letter of credit arrangements are classified as restricted cash and reflect balances of $3.9 million and $4.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 7:   Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company entered into an interest rate swap on October 22, 2018 to manage its exposure to changes in the interest rates related to its term loan (“Term B Facility”) following the Amendment discussed in Note 5: Debt. The swap is not designated as a hedging instrument and is reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported directly in earnings. The Company’s hedge consists of interest rate swaps, which was used to mitigate interest rate risk.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company entered into a three-year fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreement with Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. for a fixed notional amount of $200.0 million to swap the variable rate portion of interest payments tied to the one-month LIBOR under its term loans for fixed interest payments. The swap effectively locked in an average of a three-year forward curve for the one-month LIBOR at a fixed rate of 3.0335%, resulting in a total interest rate on the $200.0 million notional of 10.2835%. The interest rate swap agreement expired on October 31, 2021. See Note 6: Debt for additional disclosures about the Company’s Term B Facility.

The following table discloses the effect of the Company’s derivative instrument on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Note 8:   Segment Information and Geographic Data

The Company currently conducts its business through two operating segments: (1) Legacy Business and (2) Digital Business. For all periods presented, the Company did not operate outside the United States and Puerto Rico (collectively the United States). As such, all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

The Company’s Legacy Business operates a network of approximately 38,000 self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase new-release DVDs and Blu-ray DiscsTM (“movies”). The Company’s Legacy Business also produces, acquires, and distributes movies exclusively through its Redbox Entertainment label, as well as generating service revenue by providing installation, merchandising and break-fix services to other kiosks businesses. Our Legacy Business also includes corporate general and administrative expenses, which include technology and public company costs, along with corporate overhead expenses related to our Digital Business.

The Company’s Digital Business provides both transactional and ad-supported digital streaming services, which include 1) Redbox On Demand, a transactional service which provides digital rental or purchase of new release and catalog movies and TV content, 2) Redbox Free On Demand, an ad-supported

F-16

service providing free movies and TV shows on demand, and 3) Redbox Free Live TV, a free, ad-supported television service giving access to more than 145 linear channels. Furthermore, the Company monetizes digital advertising space in Redbox emails and apps amongst other platforms, which is referred to as Media Network. The Digital Business includes expenses directly attributable to this business.

Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. The Company believes this measure is most useful in assessing the underlying performance of its business. Adjusted EBITDA is before integration related costs, efficiency initiatives, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income tax and the non-cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization.

As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODM to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets and capital expenditures are not presented below.

Summarized financial information by segment is as follows:

​	March 31,
Dollars in thousands	2022			2021
Net revenue	​	​	​	​	​	​
Legacy Business	​	$	48,767	​	$	67,637

(a)

Business optimization costs include employee retention costs, IT costs as well as consulting costs for certain projects.

(b)

Includes costs related to project costs and initiatives, as well as bank, legal and other fees in connection with the Company’s debt financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $3.7 million in one-time legal and advisory expenses as the Company explores strategic alternatives.

F-17

(c)

Includes costs to support the Company’s On Demand and AVOD offerings, along with costs related to the Company’s service and media network businesses.

(d)

Restructuring related costs include such items as employee severance charges and costs incurred related to removing kiosks. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred severance and related costs of $3.8 million in connection with a reduction in force, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 9:   Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements. Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the two-class method.

The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per share for comparative periods presented and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Business Combination.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock:

Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022			2021
Basic and Diluted EPS	​	​	​	​	​	​
Numerator:	​	​	​	​	​	​

Denominator:	​	​	​	​	​	​
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding – Basic and Diluted	​	​	12,618,516	​	​	N/A
Earnings per share of Class A common stock outstanding – Basic and Diluted	​	$	(0.11)	​	​	N/A

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses, are not entitled to receive dividends, or to receive any portion of assets upon liquidation of the Company, and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

As the Company was in a loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has determined all potentially dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive in these periods and therefore are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This results in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding to be the same for basic and diluted EPS.

The following outstanding potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

At March 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2022, there were 12,618,516 shares issued and outstanding.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Class B, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. From time to time, holders of Class B common stock may exchange Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis with Redwood Intermediate common units held by such holders for Class A common stock. At March 31, 2022, there were 32,770,000 Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Non-controlling Interest — Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest in Redwood Intermediate LLC held by holders other than the Company. On October 22, 2021, upon the close of the Business Combination, Redwood Holdco, LP’s equity ownership percentage in Redwood Intermediate LLC was approximately 72.2%. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Redwood Intermediate LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by Redwood Holdco, LP as non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2022, Redwood Holdco, LP’s equity ownership percentage in Redwood Intermediate LLC was approximately 72.2%.

Note 11:   Warrant Liability

At March 31, 2022, there were 10,781,250 Public Warrants and 6,062,500 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a holder of Public Warrants may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The Public Warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants under the following conditions:

•

In whole and not in part;

•

At a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company gives proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met.

The redemption criteria discussed above prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Company’s Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than

F-19

the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded warrant liabilities of $4.1 million and $17.8 million, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $13.8 million on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12:   Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ​(“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 — 

Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 — 

Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

Level 3 — 

Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments.

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Dollars in thousands	Level		March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Liabilities:	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​

Total Warrant Liability	​	​	​	$	4,056	​	$	17,821

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and are presented within

F-20

Warrant liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within Interest and other income (expense), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Measurement

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The measurement of the Public Warrants as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market and the subsequent measurement of the Private Placement Warrants as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

Input	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Risk-free interest rate	​	​	2.40%	​	​	1.20%
Expected term (years)	​	​	4.60	​	​	4.80
Expected volatility	​	​	55.0%	​	​	31.4%
Stock price	​	$	2.36	​	$	7.41

As of March 31, 2022, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $0.23 and $0.26 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $2.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $1.04 and $1.09 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $11.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

Dollars in thousands	Public			Private Placement			Warrant Liabilities
Valuation as of December 31, 2021	​	$	11,213	​	$	6,608	​	$	17,821
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions	​	​	(8,733)	​	​	(5,032)	​	​	(13,765)
Fair value as of March 31, 2022	​	$	2,480	​	$	1,576	​	$	4,056

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the Private Placement Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Note 13:   Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases office facilities and certain equipment necessary to maintain its information technology infrastructure. Rent expense, net of sublease income, under its operating lease agreements was $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company also leases automobiles under finance leases expiring at various dates through September, 2025. Management assesses these leases as they come due as to whether it should purchase, enter into new finance leases, or enter into operating leases.

Legal Matters

The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company does not believe that any liability that may result from these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 14:   Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was (0.1)% and 25.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 does not reflect any material tax expense.

Tax Years Open for Examination

As of March 31, 2022, the years 2018 through 2021 were open under statutes of limitations for possible examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. There are currently no active examinations by the U.S. federal or state taxing authorities.

Waiver to Tax Receivable Agreement

As discussed in Note 1: Basis of Presentation, in connection with the Company’s entry into the Voting and Support Agreement, Redwood permanently waived the “Early Termination Payment” by the Company (or an affiliate) to Redwood that could have resulted from a provision in that certain Tax Receivable Agreement dated as of October 22, 2021 (“TRA”), which would have been triggered upon the change to the Board’s composition.

Additionally, under the Voting and Support Agreement, the Company and Redwood agreed, in connection with the consummation of a Transaction, to (a) terminate the TRA upon the consummation of a Transaction and (b) waive all claims under the TRA with such waiver being effective upon the consummation of such Transaction.

Note 17:   Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through May 13, 2022, the date on which the financial statements were issued, and based on our review did not identify any events that would have required recognition or disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements, except the following:

Departure and Appointment of Certain Officers

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 25, 2022, on April 24, 2022, Kavita Suthar notified the Company of her intention to resign from her position as Chief Financial Officer, effective as of May 16, 2022. Ms. Suthar will remain in her position as Chief Financial Officer until the date her resignation becomes effective.

F-23

The Company’s Board of Directors appointed Mitchell Cohen, to serve as interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Cohen joined the Company on April 25, 2022, performing transitional services until he assumes the interim Chief Financial Officer position effective May 17, 2022.

Merger Agreement

On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CSSE”), RB First Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub”), RB Second Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub LLC”), Redwood Opco Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Opco Merger Sub LLC”) and Redwood Intermediate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Opco LLC”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub Inc. will merge with and into Redbox (the “First Company Merger”), with Redbox continuing as the surving entity (the “Surviving Corporation”), (ii) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, Opco Merger Sub LLC will merge with and into Opco LLC (the “Opco Merger”), with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving entity (the “Opco Surviving Company”) and (iii) immediately following the First Company Merger and Opco Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Company Merger, and together with the First Company Merger and the Opco Merger, the “Mergers”, and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger Transactions”).

As a result of the Mergers, at the closing of the Merger Transactions, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE. At the effective time of the First Company Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s Class A common stock will be cancelled and represent the right to receive 0.087 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Class A common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, of CSSE (the “CSSE Class A Common Stock”), each share of the Company’s Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration and each Opco LLC Unit will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of CSSE Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. The closing of the Merger Agreement is subject to customary conditions, including expiration or termination of waiting periods under the HSR Act, if applicable, the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, the listing of CSSE Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq and the registration statement on Form S-4 registering the CSSE Class A Common Stock to be issued as consideration in the Mergers becoming effective.

Refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 11, 2022 for additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the Merger Transactions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
Redbox Entertainment Inc.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Redbox Entertainment Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $112.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, and as of that date, the Company had cash of $18.5 million, a working capital deficiency of $59.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $333.0 million. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

REDBOX ENTERTAINMENT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Description of Business

Redbox Entertainment Inc., a Delaware company, and subsidiaries (“Redbox” or the “Company”), operates self-serve kiosks in the United States where consumers can rent or purchase movies. As of December 31, 2021, the Company operated a network of approximately 38,000 self-service kiosks, in approximately 33,000 locations primarily at leading grocery stores, mass retailers, drug stores, dollar retailers, and convenience stores in every U.S. state and Puerto Rico (collectively the United States).

On October 22, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the acquisition of Seaport Global Acquisition Corp. (“Seaport”). The acquisition was completed pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement between the Company and Seaport dated May 16, 2021. The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the combined company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of Redbox is operated by Redwood Intermediate and its subsidiaries and the Company’s only material direct asset consists of equity interests in Redwood Intermediate.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Seaport has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Under this method of accounting, the ongoing financial statements of the registrant will reflect the net assets of Redbox and Seaport at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recognized. The shares and corresponding capital amounts prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination Agreement. For additional information on the Business Combination, see Note 3: Business Combination.

Redbox is an established brand and leading provider in the home video rental market in the United States. The Company is focused on providing its customers with the best value in entertainment and the most choice in how they consume it, through physical media and/or digital services. For its Legacy Business, the Company operates a nationwide network of approximately 38,000 self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase new-release DVDs and Blu-ray DiscsTM (“movies”). The Company also generates service revenue by providing installation, merchandising and break-fix services to other kiosk businesses. Finally, the Company also produces, acquires, and distributes movies exclusively through its film distribution label, Redbox Entertainment LLC, providing rights to talent-led films that are distributed across Redbox services as well as through third party digital services. For its Digital Business, the Company provides both transactional and ad-supported digital streaming services, which include 1) Redbox On Demand, a transactional service which provides digital rental or purchase of new release and catalog movies and TV content, 2) Redbox Free On Demand (AVOD), an ad-supported service providing free movies and TV shows on demand, and 3) Redbox Free Live TV (FLTV), a free, ad-supported television service giving access to over 130 linear channels. The Company also sells third-party display advertising via its mobile app, website, and e-mails, as well as display and video advertising at the kiosk.

Redbox is undergoing a significant business expansion and digital transformation. The Company has transitioned from a pure-play DVD rental company to a multi-faceted entertainment company that provides tremendous value and choice by offering DVD rentals as well as multiple digital products across a variety of content windows including transactional (TVOD), ad-supported (AVOD) and being a distributor of feature films with a growing library of original content.

Redbox currently conducts its business through two operating segments: (1) Legacy Business and (2) Digital Business.

Up until December 2019, the Company also offered video games for rent or purchase through its kiosks. In December 2019, the Company withdrew from the video games business, which represented a very small percentage of its overall business. The Company believes that exiting the video games business allows it to generate more value at the kiosk by making more kiosk slots available for movies its customer

F-31

seek, which drive the vast majority of its revenue and profitability. The last rental window for video games content expired prior to December 31, 2019. All purchasing, marketing, and distribution operations were discontinued by December 31, 2019. The Company completed final liquidation of its used video game inventory in April 2020, which were not material to the Company’s results of operations.

Business Update, Going Concern and Strategic Alternatives

Historically, rentals have been correlated with the number and quality of new theatrical titles released in a quarter. During 2021, Redbox’s business was negatively impacted by the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in fewer than expected theatrical releases. In addition, the significant increase in impacts from the Omicron variant caused further disruption to the business. As such, Redbox rentals have not recovered to the extent expected and, notwithstanding the year-over-year increase in new releases, were lower than the fourth quarter of 2020. As part of an effort to expand its business and transform into a multi-faceted entertainment company, during the fourth quarter of 2021 and into 2022, Redbox increased its marketing and on-demand expenditures. Costs also increased as Redbox purchased more content, which were not offset by an increase in revenues.

Redbox has been exploring a number of potential strategic alternatives with respect to the Company’s corporate or capital structure and seeking financing to fund operations and one-time restructuring costs. The Company’s Board of Directors established a Strategic Review Committee to, among other things, consider and oversee strategic alternatives or transactions that may be available to the Company with respect to its corporate or capital structure. Redbox has also announced a series of restructuring actions and initiatives to improve its efficiency and reduce its cost structure, including, but not limited to, (i) optimizing its kiosk network and (ii) initiating a workforce reduction across its supply chain and corporate teams. However, the risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operating results, together with the Company’s recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative working capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $29.2 million, had an accumulated deficit of $333.0 million and negative working capital of $59.3 million. The Company evaluated the impact of the additional financing and restructuring actions and initiatives described above on its ability to continue as a going concern.

Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The audited financial information included herein has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation in the periods presented as discussed below. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

The Company is an “emerging growth company” ​(“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “ JOBS Act “), following the consummation of the merger between the Merger Sub and the Company. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition periods provided by the JOBS Act. As result of this election, its consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

F-32

Amounts Due From/To Related Parties

Any transactions between Redbox and its owners, employees or non-employee directors and any transactions between Redbox and Apollo and its affiliates are settled in cash pursuant to commercial services agreements.

With respect to income taxes for all periods presented prior to the Business Combination, while generally the Company is part of a consolidated group for income tax filings, the income tax benefits and provisions, income tax payables, related tax payments and deferred tax balances reported within have been prepared as if the Company operated as a standalone taxpayer. Deferred taxes have been classified as net liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company remitted cash to Aspen Parent, Inc. or New Outerwall, Inc. to settle any third-party, tax-related obligations, as determined if the Company operated as a standalone taxpayer. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company is no longer part of a consolidated group for income tax filings with Aspen Parent, Inc. or New Outerwall, Inc. Aspen Parent, Inc. and New Outerwall, Inc. are affiliates of Apollo.

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward-looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from COVID-19, and policies and initiatives aimed at reducing its transmission. As the extent and duration of the impacts from COVID-19 remain unclear, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. The most significant estimates and assumptions include the:

•

rate at which the economic benefit of the content library is consumed through rental activity;

•

useful lives and recoverability of goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets, equipment and other long-lived assets; and

•

recognition and measurement of deferred income taxes (including the measurement of uncertain tax positions)

It is reasonably possible that the estimates the Company makes may change in the future and could have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales tax, when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue from movie rentals is recognized for the period that the movie is rented and is recorded net of promotional discounts offered to the Company’s consumers, uncollected amounts and refunds that it grants to its customers. Revenue from a direct sale out of the kiosk of previously rented movies is recognized at the time of sale. Revenue from On Demand rentals or purchases is also recognized at the time of sale. On rental transactions for which the related movie has not yet been returned to the kiosk at month-end, revenue is recognized with a corresponding receivable recorded in the balance sheet, net of a reserve for potentially uncollectable amounts that is considered a reduction from gross revenue as collectability is not reasonably assured.

F-33

A significant portion of the Company’s Legacy Business rental revenue is concentrated in kiosks installed with certain retail partners. Revenue aggregated at the following retailers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenue for the periods presented:

​	Year Ended December 31,
​	2021		2020		2019
Wal-Mart Stores Inc.	​	13.0%	​	13.8%	​	18.3%
Walgreen Co.	​	11.9%	​	14.6%	​	14.7%

Service revenue from the Company’s external kiosk servicing business is recognized as contract obligations related to other kiosk businesses are fulfilled. The Company has service agreements with multiple companies that have national and regional kiosk networks. Services for an external kiosk business may include, but is not limited to, our field team providing break-fix services, merchandising visits, and handling other kiosk-related projects as they arise.

Digital advertising revenue from the Company’s media network business is primarily recognized at a point in time when the ad is placed and delivered, based on the customers’ contract price.

For revenues generated from distributing and licensing Redbox Entertainment original content to other streaming platforms, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal, and reports revenue on a gross basis, or an agent, and reports revenue on a net basis.

Promotional Codes and Gift Cards

The Company offers its consumers the option to purchase stored value products in the form of bulk promotional codes and electronic gift cards. There are no expiration dates on these products and the Company does not charge service fees that cause a decrement to customer balances in the case of gift cards. Cash receipts from the sale of promotional codes and gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue in Accrued and other current liabilities and recognized as revenue upon redemption. Additionally, the Company recognizes revenue from non-redeemed or partially redeemed promotional codes and gift cards in proportion to the historical redemption patterns, referred to as “breakage.” Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual promotional code and gift card redemptions and is not material in any period presented.

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $7.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, were deferred related to purchased but unredeemed promotional codes and gift cards and are included in Accrued and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loyalty Program

In January 2018, the Company launched Redbox Perks. Redbox Perks allows members to earn points based on transactional and non-transactional activities with Redbox. As customers accumulate points, the Company defers revenue based on its estimate of both the amount of consideration paid by Perks members to earn awards and the value of the eventual award it expects the members to redeem. The Company defers an appropriate amount of revenue so as to properly recognize revenue from Perks members in relation to the benefits of the program. The Company also estimates the quantity of points that will not be redeemed by Perks members (“breakage”). Breakage reduces the amount of revenue deferred from loyalty points over the period of, and in proportion to, the actual redemptions of loyalty points based on observed historical breakage and consumer rental patterns.

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of revenue was deferred related to Perks and is included in Accrued and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Product Cost

Product cost primarily represents the amortization of the Company’s physical content library and digital revenue sharing costs. Amortization of the content library is calculated using rental decay curves

F-34

based on historical performance of movies and games over their useful lives to allocate content library costs to the periods over which the related revenues are earned. Given the steepness of the rental decay curve, amortization of the content library is recorded on an accelerated basis with substantially all of the content library cost recognized within the first year. The rental decay curves and salvage value of the Company’s content library are periodically reviewed and evaluated.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs, which are included as a component of marketing expenses, include media expenses for national and local advertising, internet advertising, and sponsorship fees. The costs were $2.8 million, $6.3 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Related Parties

Receivables or payables that existed as of the balance sheet date, due to or due from Apollo and affiliates of Apollo have been presented as Due from related parties, net and Due to related parties, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, Due to related parties, net includes unpaid dividends related to employees and non-employee directors. Right of offset is assumed for balances between Redbox and the same related counter party and, as such, are presented as net receivables or payables based on the net balances due to or from the respective counter parties as of the balance sheet date. For all periods prior to the Business Combination, Redbox is part of a consolidated filing group; income taxes are paid as a pass through to either Aspen Parent, Inc. or New Outerwall, Inc. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company is no longer part of a consolidated group for income tax filings with Aspen Parent, Inc. or New Outerwall, Inc. Aspen Parent, Inc. and New Outerwall, Inc. are affiliates of Apollo. The Company’s income tax obligations are presented as the amounts that would be owed if the Company had been a standalone taxpayer and are included in Accrued and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company grants stock-based awards to select employees and non-employee directors of the Company, consisting of restricted stock and performance stock units. Compensation expense is generally recognized for restricted stock units on a graded-vesting basis over the vesting period, which is generally one to three years. Compensation expense for performance stock units is generally recognized over the related vesting periods based on the grant-date fair value of the award when it becomes probable that the minimum return on Invested Capital (as defined under the plans) by Apollo will be satisfied. All awards granted are equity classified awards.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposit accounts. The Company’s cash balances with financial institutions may exceed the deposit insurance limits. The Company does not include outstanding amounts due from its payment card service providers for billed transactions in its cash balances, rather they are included in accounts receivable.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash balances are cash balances established to secure the Company’s letter of credit requirement to support its insurance obligations and is presented as a short-term asset. See also Note 7: Debt.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable balances primarily consist of receivables due from consumers for outstanding rental transactions, amounts due from the Company’s payment card service providers for billed transactions and amounts due from our advertising partners and service business customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts primarily reflects

F-35

management’s best estimate of amounts related to outstanding rental transactions that will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience and other currently available information.

Content Library

Content library consists of movies available for rent or purchase through the Company’s kiosks. The Company obtains its movie content primarily through revenue sharing agreements and license agreements with studios, as well as through distributors and other suppliers. The cost of content mainly includes (1) the costs paid to studios and other vendors to acquire content including revenue share as applicable, (2) costs incurred to label, sort, and ship content to the Company’s kiosks for merchandising, (3) costs incurred to destroy content after use if required under contractual arrangements with studios and (4) indirect taxes, if applicable. For content that the Company expects to sell, management determines an estimated salvage value. Content salvage values are estimated based on the historical sales activity. The cost of each title is capitalized and amortized to its estimated salvage value using rental decay curves as discussed above under Product Cost.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets are generally comprised of insurance-related receivables representing estimated amounts due from the Company’s insurance partners in excess of its deductibles, spare parts that are not separately capitalized for use in the repair and maintenance of its kiosks, the value of cases and labels used to vend and track discs, net of amortization, and various prepayments for operating expenses including software licenses when not determined to be a component of property and equipment.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures that extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the efficiency of property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the following approximate useful lives:

​	Useful Life
Redbox kiosks and components	3 – 5 years
Computers and software	2 – 3 years
Leasehold improvements (shorter of life of asset or remaining lease term)	3 – 6 years
Office furniture and equipment	5 – 7 years
Vehicles	3 – 4 years

Internal-Use Software

The Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software during the application development stage. Capitalization of software development costs occurs after the preliminary project stage is complete, management authorizes the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for the function intended. The Company expenses costs incurred for training, data conversion, and maintenance, as well as spending in the post-implementation stage. A subsequent addition, modification or upgrade to internal-use software is capitalized only to the extent that it enables the software to perform a task it previously could not perform. The internal-use software is included in computers and software under property and equipment in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company amortizes internal-use software over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization

The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization comprise the value of its retailer relationships, the Redbox trade name, its contactable customer list, and developed technology as determined on the date of the Apollo Acquisition. The Company amortizes its intangible assets over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis as the future pattern of consumption of the economic benefit derived from the identified

F-36

intangible assets cannot be reliably determined. The Company annually reassess the useful lives of its intangible assets subject to amortization and the methods under which they are amortized. For further information, see Note 5: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As part of the Company’s impairment analysis, fair value of a reporting unit is determined using both the income and market approaches. The income approach requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and discount rates. For further information, see Note 5: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Business Combinations

The Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Recoverability of Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the estimated remaining life and recoverability of equipment and other assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Factors that would indicate potential impairment include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of the long-lived asset(s), a significant change in the long-lived asset’s use or physical condition, and operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the long-lived asset. When there is an indication of impairment, the Company prepares an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to test recoverability. If the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, it indicates that the long-lived asset is not recoverable, in which case the Company will then compare the estimated fair value to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company will recognize the impairment loss and adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value. No impairment losses have been recorded during years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Trade Payables

Trade payables are primarily comprised of non-revenue share payments to the Company’s content partners, payments due to its retailer partners, and various other payments due for invoiced goods and services from its operational vendors.

Accrued and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued and other current liabilities generally consist of estimated total amounts due under contractual revenue-sharing arrangements with the Company’s content providers net of payments made during the respective title’s rental period, employee related liabilities primarily related to compensation, deferred revenue related to stored-value arrangements and the Company’s loyalty program, estimated income taxes payable, sales and rental-related taxes collected from the Company’s consumers on behalf of governmental entities, estimated gross amounts due for insurance claims incurred but not recorded, and various other estimates of amounts due but not invoiced for goods and services from the Company’s operational vendors.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company classifies its public and private placement warrants as a liability at is fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the

F-37

warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The Public Warrants are valued at a market price based on a quoted price in an active market. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes model to value the outstanding private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at each reporting period. For further information, see Note 14: Warrant Liability.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, management determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it will recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.

Non-controlling Interest

The Company presents non-controlling interests as a component of equity on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and reports the portion of its earnings or loss for non-controlling interest as net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Loss Contingencies

The Company accrues estimated liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation and other sources when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the claim assessment or damages can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has sufficient accruals to cover any obligations resulting from claims, assessments or litigation that have met these criteria.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain financial assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that it believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which would maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.

In evaluating the fair value measurement techniques for recording certain financial assets and liabilities, there is a three-level valuation hierarchy under which financial assets and liabilities are designated. The

F-38

determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular financial asset or liability depends on the inputs used in valuation as of the measurement date.

Valuations based on observable or market-based inputs for identical asset or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) are given the highest level of priority, whereas valuations based on unobservable or internally derived inputs (Level 3 measurement) are given the lowest level of priority. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

•

Level 1:   Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2:   Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or market-corroborated inputs; or

•

Level 3:   Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash equivalents approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying amount, which is presented net of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to interest rates. The Company actively monitors and attempts to mitigate but does not eliminate these exposures using derivative instruments including interest rate swaps. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company recognizes its derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at estimated fair value. The Company presents its derivative positions gross on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records changes in the fair value of derivatives as a component of other expense, net on its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Adopted:

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials (Subtopic 926-20), in order to align the accounting for production costs of an episodic television series with the accounting for production costs of films by removing the content distinction for capitalization. ASU 2019-02 also requires that an entity reassess estimates of the use of a film in a film group and account for any changes prospectively. In addition, 2019-02 requires that an entity test films and license agreements for impairment at a film group level when the film or license agreements are predominantly monetized with other films and license agreements. For private companies, the guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR or another referenced rate. ASU 2020-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) to simplify the accounting for income taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred

F-39

tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. This standard is effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842” or “ASC 842”) related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, using the cumulative effect transition approach. The cumulative effect transition approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and not restated comparative periods; rather the effect of the change is recorded at the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows us to carryforward historical lease classification. In addition, we are electing the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. Lastly, we elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for our leases. This means for short-term leases, we will not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU asset or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. In preparation for adoption of the standard, we have implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information.

Although management continues to evaluate the effect of adoption of ASC 842, management currently estimates a recognition of ROU assets of $9.1 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of $9.4 million as of January 1, 2022. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU provides new guidance regarding measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. Such guidance will impact how the Company determines its allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables. This ASU is effective for emerging growth companies that have elected to use private company adoption dates with annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3: Business Combination

On October 22, 2021 (the Closing Date), the Company consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the business combination agreement, dated as of May 16, 2021 and amended on September 24, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Seaport Global Acquisition Corp. (“Seaport”), Seaport Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), Redwood Holdco, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Redwood Holdco”), and Redwood Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Redwood Intermediate”). Redwood Holdco is controlled by funds affiliated with or controlled by Apollo Global Management, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Apollo” or the “Sponsor”). Upon the Closing Date of the Business Combination, Seaport was reincorporated in the State of Delaware and changed its name to Redbox Entertainment Inc.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued 32,770,000 shares of Class B common stock to Redwood Holdco, which have no economic rights, but entitle the holders thereof to one vote per issued share and may be exchanged on a one-for-one basis with Redwood Intermediate common units held by such holders for Class A common stock from time to time. Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $50 million. In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,995,989 shares of Class A common stock to certain investors (the “Backstop Subscribers”) for a purchase price of $10.10 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.2 million.

F-40

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, Seaport is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the existing controlling equity holder of Redbox having 72.2% of the voting power of the combined company and the operations of Redbox and its subsidiaries constituting the only ongoing operations of the combined company.

Following the closing of the Business Combination, the combined company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of Redbox is operated by Redwood Intermediate and its subsidiaries and the Company’s only material direct asset consists of equity interests in Redwood Intermediate.

The Company incurred $14.5 million in direct and incremental costs related to the equity issuance, consisting primarily of investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees, which were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also incurred $7.0 million of costs that were not direct and incremental costs and accordingly, were recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid $50.0 million in outstanding loans under its Senior Facilities including $15.0 million toward outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $35.0 million toward outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1.

In connection with the Business Combination, Redwood Holdco and Redwood Intermediate entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Sponsor and Seaport. Under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company generally will be required to pay to Redwood Holdco 85% of the tax savings, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of certain tax attributes that exist following the Business Combination and that are created thereafter, including as a result of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of the Closing Date and as of December 31, 2021, the liability is not deemed probable.

The Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $19.4 million for the difference between its book value and tax basis at the time of the Business Combination. The Company has assessed the realizability of the deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. As a result, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset resulting from the Business Combination.

The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Equity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021:

Note 5: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed a quantitative impairment analysis for goodwill related to its Legacy and Digital reporting units, as a result of the resurgence of COVID-19 due to the Omicron variant on its financial performance. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded the fair value of its Legacy and Digital reporting units exceeded its respective carrying value and as such, no impairment charge was recorded.

As part of the Company’s impairment analysis, the determination of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions including the business and financial performance of the Company’s reporting units, as well as how such performance may be impacted by COVID-19. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies, control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which the Company competes, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures, including considering the impact of COVID-19. Certain events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately affect the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future new release movie titles resulting from the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (ii) an increase in competition across streaming platforms resulting in fewer titles available at Redbox or fewer rental transactions and (iii) the inability to achieve cost savings or growth initiative targets within an expected timeframe.

F-42

Although the Company believes its estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions, including the impact of COVID- 19, could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of any goodwill impairment charges, or both. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the impact of COVID-19, its severity, duration and its impact on global economies, general economic conditions as well as the Company’s profitability. The Company will continue to monitor these potential impacts, including the impact of COVID-19 and economic, industry and market trends and the impact these may have on its Legacy and Digital reporting units.

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by reportable segment:

Dollars in thousands	Legacy Business			Digital Business			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2019	​	$	144,014	​	$	3,509	​	$	147,523

On October 20, 2017, Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“RAR”) entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which provided for:

•

a first lien term loan facility (the “Term Loan B”), in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million, with a five-year maturity; and

•

a first lien revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan B, the “Senior Facilities”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million, with a five-year maturity.

The Term Loan B was made available to RAR immediately upon closing and was used in part to retire all $280.0 million of the Company’s existing debt and to settle closing costs associated with the new Term Loan B totaling $19.5 million of which $4.6 million was paid to Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo, for services provided in connection with the financing. The balance of the Term Loan B proceeds were used towards a dividend, occurring on the same day, with total dividends of $160.0 million to equity holders of RAR. Additionally, at the execution of the new Credit Agreement, RAR wrote-off unamortized deferred financing costs of $21.7 million related to the extinguishment of the entire debt under the prior credit agreement.

On September 7, 2018, RAR entered into an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) an incremental Term B-1 Loan (“Term Loan B-1”) in an original aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million and (ii) the payment of one or more restricted payments to shareholders of RAR in an aggregate amount not to exceed $115.0 million. The proceeds received from the Amendment along with cash flow from the business were used towards a dividend distribution to equity holders of RAR totaling $115.0 million that was paid within five business days of September 7, 2018, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the

F-44

Amendment totaling $3.7 million. The additional loan under Term Loan B-1 has terms identical to the original Term Loan B.

On September 30, 2020, RAR entered into the second amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to, among other things, increase the total net leverage covenant during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement and revise the quarterly amortization payment schedule.

On December 28, 2020, RAR entered into a third amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The amendment deferred the December 2020 amortization payment to March 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Senior Facilities matured on October 20, 2022, and subsequent to the Amendment, Second Amendment and Third Amendment consisted of:

•

the Term Loan B, in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million;

•

the Term Loan B-1, in an aggregate principal amount of $85.8 million; and

•

the Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million.

As of December 31, 2021, there was $12.3 million available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 29, 2021, RAR entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) deferral of principal amortization payments until the maturity date (ii) extension of the maturity date to April 2023, (iii) at RAR’s election, subject to certain liquidity thresholds, payment PIK interest, and, (iv) removal of all financial covenant requirements.

In addition, under the Fourth Amendment, RAR incurred an incremental first lien term loan B-2 facility (“Term Loan B-2” and, together with Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1, the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million which was provided by New Outerwall Inc. The loan was subsequently assigned to Aspen Parent, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo and therefore a related party of the Company. The proceeds from the loan were used for general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, interest is payable on the Senior Facilities entirely in cash or, for a specified period, could be paid by increasing the principal amount of the Senior Facilities (PIK interest), or through a combination of cash and PIK interest, subject to certain liquidity thresholds. Borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at a rate at RAR’s option, either (a) a London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the prime rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal (or another national publication selected by the administrative agent) and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Facilities is 7.25% with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings (increasing to 8.25% if PIK interest is paid) and 6.25% with respect to ABR Borrowings (increasing to 7.25% if PIK interest is paid).

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Facilities, RAR is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. RAR is also required to pay customary agency fees.

In connection with the Business Combination, on May 16, 2021, RAR entered into another amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, provided consent to the planned Business Combination and among other things, extended the Senior Facilities maturity date to October 2023 and subordinated the Term Loan B-2 to the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1. In addition, among other things, concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid $50.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Senior Facilities including $15.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $35.0 million towards outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B and the Term Loan B-1.

F-45

On October 11, 2021, RAR entered into a consent to the Fifth Amendment to make certain additional changes to the Credit Agreement, which became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, including extending the maturity date of the Senior Facilities to April, 2024 and extending the PIK interest option until December 31, 2022 (subject to a minimum pro forma liquidity).

Union Revolving Credit Facility

On December 29, 2020, Redbox Entertainment, LLC entered into a four-year, $20.0 million revolving credit facility with Union Bank (the “Union Revolving Credit Facility”). The facility is used exclusively to pay for minimum guarantees, license fees and related distribution expenses for original content obtained under the Company’s Redbox Entertainment label. Borrowings outstanding under the Union Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $4.6 million and $2.55 million, respectively.

Borrowings under the Union Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at either the alternate base rat or LIBOR (based on an interest period selected by the Company of one month, three months or six months) in each case plus a margin. The alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (i) the base rate in effect on such date, (ii) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1∕2 of 1.0%, and (iii) daily one month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The revolving credit facility borrowings that are LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR plus a margin of 0.50%. The borrowing interest rate for the Union Revolving Credit Facility was 4.25% for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Union Revolving Credit Facility, Redbox Entertainment, LLC is required to pay a commitment fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including a limitation on the Company’s ability to pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments. The covenant prohibiting dividends and other restricted payments has certain limited exceptions, including for customary overhead, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses; taxes; customary salary, bonus and other benefits; and up to $1.03 million for dividends that were accrued on equity interests that were unvested as of the payment of the Company’s last dividend in 2018 and have subsequently vested.

Interest Rates and Fees

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the borrowing interest rate for the Senior Facilities was 9.25% and 8.25%, respectively.

Amortization and Prepayments

Required minimum principal amortization payments under the Senior Facilities, excluding the Revolving Credit Facility, as of December 31, 2021, are as follows:

Dollars in thousands	Repayment Amount
2022	​	$	31,480
2023	​	​	—
2024	​	​	271,562
Total	​	$	303,042

As noted above, pursuant to the consent agreement to the Fifth Amendment that RAR entered into on October 11, 2021, the maturity date of the Senior Facilities has been extended to April, 2024.

In addition, the Senior Facilities require RAR to prepay outstanding term loan borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, with:

F-46

•

a certain percentage set forth in the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Facilities of RAR’s annual excess cash flow, as defined under the Senior Facilities;

•

a certain percentage of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, other dispositions of property or certain casualty events, in each case subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights; and

•

the net cash proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the Senior Facilities.

RAR may voluntarily repay outstanding loans that are funded solely by internally generated cash from business operations under the Senior Facilities at any time, without prepayment premium or penalty, except customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR rate loans.

All obligations under the Senior Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by each of RAR’s existing and future direct and indirect material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and the direct parent of RAR. The obligations are secured by a pledge of substantially all of RAR’s assets and those of each guarantor, including capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain exceptions, and its capital stock owned by RAR’s direct parent. Such security interests consist of a first-priority lien with respect to the collateral.

All obligations under the Union Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company’s Redbox Entertainment entity.

Letters of Credit

As required under the Senior Facilities, the Company has a letter of credit arrangement to provide for the issuance of standby letters of credit in the amount of $3.4 million and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The arrangement supports the collateral requirements for insurance claims and is good for one year to be renewed annually if necessary. The letter of credit is cash-collateralized at 105% in the amount of $3.4 million and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In October 2021, the Company entered into a letter of credit arrangement of $0.8 million that serves as a security deposit for leased warehouse space and is pledged by an equal amount of cash pledged as collateral.

The Company’s letter of credit arrangements are classified as restricted cash and reflect balances of $4.2 million and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 8: Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company entered into an interest rate swap on October 22, 2018 to manage its exposure to changes in the interest rates related to its term loan (“Term B Facility”) following the Amendment discussed in Note 7: Debt. The swap is not designated as a hedging instrument and is reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported directly in earnings. The Company’s hedge consists of interest rate swaps, which was used to mitigate interest rate risk.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company entered into a three-year fixed-for-floating interest rate swap agreement with Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. for a fixed notional amount of $200.0 million to swap the variable rate portion of interest payments tied to the one-month LIBOR under its term loans for fixed interest payments. The swap effectively locked in an average of a three-year forward curve for the one-month LIBOR at a fixed rate of 3.0335%, resulting in a total interest rate on the $200.0 million notional of 10.2835%. The interest rate swap agreement expired on October 31, 2021. See Note 7: Debt for additional disclosures about the Company’s Term B Facility.

Note 9: Employee Benefit Plan

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan for all eligible employees. The plan includes optional employee contributions as a percentage of eligible earnings, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company matches up to 100% on the first 3% of participating employees’ contributions and 50% on each of the next 2% (up to a maximum of 4% when the participant contributes at least 5%). The Company’s matching contribution to this plan was $1.8 million and $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 10: Stock-Based Compensation

Redbox Equity Plan

In 2021, we adopted the Redbox Equity Plan providing for common stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The Redbox Equity Plan permits the granting of various types of awards including awards of nonqualified stock options, ISOs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, dividend equivalents, and/or performance compensation awards or any combination of the foregoing. The Redbox Equity Plan provides for an aggregate of 3,404,139 shares of Class A common stock to be delivered. Restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted for no consideration other than prior and future services. The purchase price per share for stock options may not be less than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 384,286 shares were available for future awards.

A summary of stock-based compensation cost recognized for stock-based payment arrangements is as follows (in thousands):

Dollars in thousands	Year Ended December 31, 2021
Compensation cost recognized:	​	​	​
Restricted stock units	​	$	996
Total compensation cost	​	$	996

We have granted 1 to 3-year time vested restricted stock unit awards where each unit represents the right to receive, at the end of a vesting period, one share of our Class A common stock with no exercise price. The fair value of restricted stock unit awards was determined based on the fair market value of our shares on the grant date. As of December 31, 2021, there was $23.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock unit awards.

F-48

A summary of the status of our restricted stock unit awards pursuant to the Redbox Equity Plan and of changes in our restricted stock unit awards outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

Redwood Holdco Management Incentive Plan

Pursuant to the Redwood Holdco Management Incentive Plan, the Company recognized stock-based compensation cost of $1.0 million, $0.0 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There is no future cost to be recognized.

Note 11: Segment Information and Geographic Data

The Company currently conducts its business through two operating segments: (1) Legacy Business and (2) Digital Business. For all periods presented, the Company did not operate outside the United States and Puerto Rico (collectively the United States). As such, all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

The Company’s Legacy Business operates a network of approximately 38,000 self-service kiosks where consumers can rent or purchase new-release DVDs and Blu-ray DiscsTM (“movies”). The Company’s Legacy Business also produces, acquires, and distributes movies exclusively through its Redbox Entertainment label, as well as generating service revenue by providing installation, merchandising and break-fix services to other kiosks businesses.

The Company’s Digital Business provides both transactional and ad-supported digital streaming services, which include 1) Redbox On Demand, a transactional service which provides digital rental or purchase of new release and catalog movies and TV content, 2) Redbox Free On Demand, an ad-supported service providing free movies and TV shows on demand, and 3) Redbox Free Live TV, a free, ad-supported television service giving access to more than 130 linear channels. Furthermore, the Company monetizes digital advertising space in Redbox emails and apps amongst other platforms, which is referred to as media network.

Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. The Company believes this measure is most useful in assessing the underlying performance of its business. Adjusted EBITDA is before integration related costs, efficiency initiatives, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income tax and the non-cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization.

As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODM to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets and capital expenditures are not presented below.

Note 12: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements. Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the two-class method.

The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per share for comparative periods presented and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Business Combination. The basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 represent only the period from the Closing Date of the Business Combination to December 31, 2021, the period where the Company had Class A common stock outstanding.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock:

Earnings per share of Class A common stock outstanding – Basic and Diluted	​	$	(0.58)	​	​	N/A	​	​	N/A

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses, are not entitled to receive dividends, or to receive any portion of assets upon liquidation of the Company, and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

As the Company was in a loss position for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company has determined all potentially dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive in these periods and therefore are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This results in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding to be the same for basic and diluted EPS.

The following outstanding potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

​	Year ended December 31,
​	2021		2020		2019
Unvested restricted stock units	​	110	​	325	​	376

Note 13 — Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2021, there were 12,618,516 shares issued and outstanding.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Class B, $0.0001 par value common stock. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. From time to time, holders of Class B common stock may exchange Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis with Redwood Intermediate common units held by such holders for Class A common stock. At December 31, 2021, there were 32,770,000 Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

Non-controlling Interest — Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest in Redwood Intermediate LLC held by holders other than the Company. On October 22, 2021, upon the close of the Business Combination, Redwood Holdco, LP’s equity ownership percentage in Redwood Intermediate LLC was approximately 72.2%. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Redwood Intermediate LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by Redwood Holdco, LP as non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021, Redwood Holdco, LP’s equity ownership percentage in Redwood Intermediate LLC was approximately 72.2%.

Note 14 — Warrant Liability

At December 31, 2021, there were 10,781,250 Public Warrants and 6,062,500 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a holder of Public Warrants may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The Public Warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants under the following conditions:

•

In whole and not in part;

•

At a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company gives proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met.

The redemption criteria discussed above prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Company’s Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than

F-52

the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded warrant liabilities of $17.8 million in the consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $3.5 million on the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities in Other Expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ​(“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 — 

Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 — 

Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

Level 3 — 

Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheet. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of December 31, 2021 due to the short maturities of such instruments.

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Dollars in thousands	Level		December 31, 2021
Liabilities:	​	​	​	​	​
Warrant Liability – Public Warrants	​	1	​	$	11,213
Warrant Liability – Private Placement Warrants	​	3	​	$	6,608
Total Warrant Liability	​	​	​	$	17,821

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and are presented within Warrant liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at

F-53

fair value at the closing of the Business Combination and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within Other expense, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Initial Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination. The initial value of the Public Warrants were classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The initial value of the Private Placement Warrants, using a Black Scholes model, were classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The key inputs into the Black Scholes model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows at closing of the Business Combination:

Input	(Initial Measurement)
Risk-free interest rate	​	​	1.20%
Expected term (years)	​	​	5.00
Expected volatility	​	​	20.2%
Stock price	​	$	9.62

As of the closing of the Business Combination, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $1.25 and $1.29 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $13.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

Subsequent Measurement

The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of December 31, 2021 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market and the subsequent measurement of the Private Placement Warrants as December 31, 2021 is classified Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs.

Input	(Initial Measurement)
Risk-free interest rate	​	​	1.20%
Expected term (years)	​	​	4.80
Expected volatility	​	​	31.4%
Stock price	​	$	7.41

As of December 31, 2021, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were determined to be $1.04 and $1.09 per warrant, respectively, for aggregate values of approximately $11.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities from the closing of the Business Combination to December 31, 2021:

Dollars in thousands	Public			Private Placement			Warrant Liabilities
Initial measurement at closing of the Business Combination	​	$	13,477	​	$	7,821	​	$	21,298
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions	​	​	(2,264)	​	​	(1,213)	​	​	(3,477)
Fair value as of December 31, 2021	​	$	11,213	​	$	6,608	​	$	17,821

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the Private Placement Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

Legal Matters

From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company does not believe that any liability that may result from these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. During 2020, the Company received $7.0 million in connection with a class action settlement specific to credit card fees, which were included in Direct Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 17: Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the CARES Act was not material to the Company’s financial statements.

In further response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on December 27, 2020, the Consolidations Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”) was signed into law. The Company does not expect the CAA to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Components of Income Taxes

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are included as part of the U.S. consolidated income tax group Aspen Parent, Inc. for the periods presented prior to the Business Combination. The income tax benefit and provisions, income tax payables, related tax payments and deferred tax balances have been prepared as if the Company operated as a standalone taxpayer. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company is no longer part of a consolidated group for income tax filings with Aspen Parent, Inc. or New Outerwall, Inc. Aspen Parent, Inc. and New Outerwall, Inc. are affiliates of Apollo.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company accrued interest of $0.0 million, $0.0 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

At December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, $0.2 million, $2.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $0.1 million of its currently remaining unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized by the end of 2022 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.

Tax Years Open for Examination

As of December 31, 2021, the years 2018 through 2021 were open under statutes of limitations for possible examination by the U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. During 2021, two state examinations were finalized without any material adjustments. There are currently no active examinations by the U.S. federal or state taxing authorities.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the carrying amounts used for income tax purposes. Future tax benefits for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are also recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

Deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and tax credit carryforwards are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Company expects to recognize those temporary differences and credits. In determining the Company’s tax provisions, management determined the deferred tax assets and liabilities for each separate tax jurisdiction and considered a number of factors including the positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of its deferred tax assets to determine whether a valuation allowance should be recognized with respect to its deferred tax assets.

This amount is the deferred tax asset the Company recognizes for its book to tax basis difference in its investment in Redwood Intermediate, LLC.

Redbox Entertainment, Inc. is organized as a Subchapter C corporation and, on October 22, 2021, as part of the Company’s business combination, became a 27.8% owner of Redwood Intermediate, LLC (see Note 13 — Shareholders’ Equity). Redwood Intermediate, LLC, is organized as a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. At December 31, 2021, the Subchapter C corporation had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.8 million, which will be able to offset future taxable income. All net operating loss carryforwards will be carried forward indefinitely.

As further described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of income tax and payroll tax payments or other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it relates to COVID-19 measures.

The large increase in the net deferred tax assets in 2021 is primarily due to the Company’s acquisition of 12,618,516 Redwood Intermediate, LLC common units (see Note 13 — Shareholders’ Equity) on the Business Combination in which it derecognized its existing deferred tax liability and recognized a deferred

F-58

tax asset of $19.4 million with a corresponding $19.4 million valuation allowance for the outside basis difference in the company’s investment in Redwood Intermediate, LLC. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine if they can be realized and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. At December 31, 2021, the Company determined that the deferred tax assets from the net operating loss, tax credit carryover, IRC Section 163(j) interest carryover and the outside basis difference in its investment in Redwood Intermediate, LLC are not more likely than not to be recognized. The current and cumulative valuation allowance is $2.7 million and $22.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The provision for income tax has been included in the consolidated financial statements. The income tax is based on the amount of taxes due on the Company’s tax returns plus deferred taxes computed based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using expected tax rates.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a particular tax position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted as appropriate for changes in facts and circumstances, such as significant amendments to existing tax law, new regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination. As of December 31, 2021, and December 21, 2020 the balance of the Company’s uncertain tax positions was $0.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $0.1 million of its currently remaining unrecognized tax benefits, may be recognized by the end of 2022 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties relating to income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

On October 22, 2021, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by the Company to Redwood Holdco, LP of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, the Company actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis from the Business Combination between Redbox Entertainment Inc. and Redwood Holdco, LP, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and the related transactions and any future redemptions that are funded by the Company and any future redemptions or exchanges of common units by Redwood Holdco, LP and (ii) certain other tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Redwood Intermediate, LLC intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for each tax year in which a redemption or exchange (including a deemed exchange) of common units for cash or stock occur. These tax benefit payments are not conditioned upon Redwood Holdco, LP maintaining a continued ownership interest in Redwood Intermediate, LLC. In general, Redwood Holdco, LP’s rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable, including to transferees of its common units in Redwood Intermediate, LLC (other than the Company as transferee pursuant to a redemption or exchange of common units in Redwood Intermediate, LLC). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of the tax benefits, if any, which may be realized. As of December 31, 2021, we have estimated the tax receivable liability of $14.5 million assuming (1) a constant federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate of 4.0% (net of any federal benefit), (2) no material changes in tax law, (3) the ability to utilize tax basis and attributes and (4) future tax receivable agreement payments. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for informational purposes only. If Redwood Holdco were to engage in an Exchange of all of its Redwood Intermediate equity interests as of December 31, 2021, the net present value of the liability we would recognize is approximately $154.3 million. No exchanges have occurred as of December 31, 2021.

Redwood Intermediate, LLC is subject to partnership audit rules enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the “Centralized Partnership Audit Regime”). Under the Centralized Partnership Audit Regime, any IRS audit of Redwood Intermediate, LLC would be conducted at the Redwood Intermediate, LLC level, and if the IRS determines an unfavorable adjustment, the default rule is that Redwood Intermediate, LLC would pay an “imputed underpayment” including interest and penalties, if applicable. Redwood Intermediate, LLC may instead elect to make a “push-out” election, in which case the partners for the year that is under audit would be required to take into account the adjustments on their own

F-59

personal income tax returns. If Redwood Intermediate, LLC does not elect to make a “push-out” election, Redwood Intermediate, LLC will determine the portion of such imputed underpayment attributable to each member and former member, and if necessary may seek reimbursement. If Redwood Intermediate, LLC receives an imputed underpayment, a determination will be made based on the relevant facts and circumstances that exist at that time. Any payments that Redwood Intermediate, LLC ultimately makes on behalf of its current members will be reflected as a distribution, rather than tax expense, at the time such distribution is declared.

Change in Valuation Allowance

During 2021, the Company increased its valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets to reduce them to the value more likely than not to be realized with a corresponding non-cash charge of $2.7 million to its income tax provision and $18.4 million to additional paid-in-capital. The valuation allowance balance of $22.1 million as of December 31, 2021 compares to a balance of $1.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

The Company receives and provides certain operating support under commercial services agreements with affiliates of Apollo, primarily ecoATM. A summary of the amounts due to/from such related parties is presented below:

The balance in amounts due to related parties primarily includes the unpaid dividends related to employee and non-employee directors.

Revenues from related parties for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $17.8 million, $14.0 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Provided under the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred additional principal amount under a Term B-2 Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, which was provided by New Outerwall, Inc. The proceeds from the loan will be used for general corporate purposes. The Term B-2 loan ranks pari passu basis with all obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The loan was subsequently assigned to Aspen Parent, Inc., an affiliate of Apollo. See Note 7, Debt for a further discussion.

With respect to income taxes for all periods presented prior to the Business Combination, while historically the Company is part of a consolidated group for income tax filings, the income tax benefits and provisions, income tax payables, related tax payments and deferred tax balances reported within have been prepared as if the Company operates as a standalone taxpayer. Deferred taxes have been classified as net liabilities in the respective Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company. Except for certain separate state tax obligations, the Company generally remitted cash to Aspen Parent, Inc. or New Outerwall, Inc., both affiliates of Apollo, to settle any third-party, tax-related obligations, as determined if the Company operated as a standalone taxpayer. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company is no longer part of a consolidated group for income tax filings with Aspen Parent, Inc. or New Outerwall, Inc. Income taxes

F-60

payable balances, which are included in Accrued and other current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, were $0.0 million and $15.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 20: Subsequent Events

On April 15, 2022, the Company’s subsidiary, Redbox Automated Retail, LLC, entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), pursuant to which the lenders party thereto will make available additional financing in an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000.

As a condition to the effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment, the Company entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Voting and Support Agreement”) with AP VIII Aspen Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Aspen Holdings”), Seaport Global SPAC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seaport”) and Redwood Holdco, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Redwood Holdco”, together with Seaport and Aspen Holdings, the “Stockholders”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Stockholders have each agreed to vote their shares of the Company: (i) in favor of any strategic transaction approved and recommended by our board of directors, or any committee to which the board of directors delegates authority, subject to certain terms and conditions; (ii) in opposition to any strategic transaction involving the Company that has not been approved and recommended to our board of directors; and (iii) in favor of any directors that are proposed or nominated to our board of directors by the Company at any annual meeting of the Company. The parties to the Stockholders Agreement also agreed to consent and waive certain governance and other rights related to the nomination, election and resignation of directors of the Company, the size of the board of directors of the Company, entry into the Voting and Support Agreement, entry into the waiver to the TRA (described below), as applicable, and to waive certain consent rights in connection with the additional financing.

The Company further agreed, pursuant to the Voting and Support Agreement, to cause its subsidiaries party to the Union Revolving Credit Facility to (i) permanently reduce a portion of its revolving commitments thereunder in an amount equal to $10.6 million, and (ii) among other agreements, refrain from borrowing

F-61

under the Union Revolving Credit Facility without the consent of Aspen Holdings and Redwood Holdco (other than with respect to certain scheduled borrowings and borrowings to cover interest, fees and expenses).

As a further condition to effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment, the Company has agreed to issue HPS and certain affiliates warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock.

In connection with the execution of the Sixth Amendment, the Company agreed to implement certain changes to the composition and size of the board of directors.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Voting and Support Agreement, Redwood Holdco permanently waived an accelerated termination payment by the Company (or an affiliate of the Company) under that certain Tax Receivable Agreement dated as of October 22, 2021 (“TRA”) that would be payable to Redwood Holdco if a change of control of the Company were to result from the changes to the board of directors of the Company contemplated in the Voting and Support Agreement. Additionally, under the Voting and Support Agreement, the Company and Redwood Holdco agreed, in connection with the consummation of a strategic transaction approved and recommended by our board of directors, to (a) terminate the TRA upon the consummation of any such transaction and (b) waive all claims under the TRA with such waiver being effective upon the consummation of such transaction.

Refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed on a concurrent basis for additional information regarding the Sixth Amendment, the Voting and Support Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, as well as certain accompanying matters.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2021, which is the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we completed the Business Combination on October 22, 2021. Prior to the Business Combination, we were a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses. As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date as our operations prior to the Business Combination were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination. The design of internal controls over financial reporting for the Company post-Business Combination has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. As a result, management was unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense to conduct an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. Accordingly, we are excluding management’s report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 215.02 of the SEC Division of Corporate Finance’s Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations.

F-62

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness

We previously identified and disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report, as well as in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, a material weakness in our operations of controls over the classification and accounting for the private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the “warrants”), which were initially issued by Seaport Global Acquisition Corp. in connection with its initial public offering and assumed by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2021, management has completed the implementation of our remediation efforts of the material weakness related to accounting for warrants issued as part of the Business Combination as previously reported. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our remediation efforts included demonstrating our ability to effectively operate our controls and enhancing our control design to require the formalized consideration of obtaining additional technical guidance prior to concluding on significant or unusual transactions. These additional considerations include items such as obtaining additional accounting pronouncements or performing consultations with third party accounting specialists, authoritative bodies or regulators.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, as specified above. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met.

(a)   Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), in trust for the benefit of (i) holders of Eligible Shares and (ii) holders of Opco LLC Stapled Units identified on the Opco Schedule, Book-Entry Shares (as defined) (or certificates if requested, available and permissible) representing the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i) or Section 2.02(a)(i), as applicable. In addition, Parent shall make available by depositing with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d). All shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, dividends, distributions and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of Eligible Shares and holders of Opco LLC Stapled Units are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued in exchange for Eligible Shares and Opco LLC Stapled Units pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated this Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(d) and Section 2.04(f), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will enter into an exchange agreement with the Exchange Agent, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, setting forth the procedures to be used in accomplishing the deliveries and other actions contemplated by this Section 2.04.

(b)   As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and the Opco Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to (i) each holder of record of a certificate (a “Certificate”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Eligible Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Company Merger Consideration, and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d), and (ii) each holder of Opco LLC Stapled Units identified on the Opco Schedule as entitled to receive the Opco Merger Consideration, and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d), (A) a form of letter of transmittal (which, with respect to holders of Certificates, shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), which letter shall be in customary form and reasonably acceptable to the Company and contain such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates or Opco LLC Stapled Units, as applicable, in exchange for the Company Merger Consideration or Opco Merger Consideration, respectively, and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to

A-7

Section 2.04(d). Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the Eligible Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (1) that number of whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (after taking into account all Eligible Shares then held by such holder under all Certificates so surrendered) to which such holder of Eligible Shares shall have become entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i) (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested), and (2) any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Upon delivery by a holder of Opco LLC Stapled Units of such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, to the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Opco LLC Stapled Units shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such Opco LLC Stapled Units (1) that number of whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to which such holder of Opco LLC Stapled Units shall have become entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(i) (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested), and (2) any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d). As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue and send to each holder of uncertificated Eligible Shares represented by book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (x) that number of whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to which such holder of Book-Entry Shares shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01(a)(i) (which shall be in book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested), and (y) any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d), without such holder being required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, and such Book-Entry Shares shall then be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any unpaid dividends and distributions or cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, payable to holders of Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Opco LLC Stapled Units. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.04, each Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Opco LLC Stapled Unit shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Company Merger Consideration or Opco Merger Consideration, as applicable, payable in respect thereof, and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4(d).

(c)   If payment of the Company Merger Consideration or the Opco Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Opco LLC Stapled Unit (as applicable) is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share or Opco LLC Stapled Unit shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Company Merger Consideration or Opco Merger Consideration (as applicable) to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate, Book-Entry Share or Opco LLC Stapled Unit or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable.

(d)   No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to (A) the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II or (B) the holder of any Opco LLC Stapled Unit with respect to the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof until the holder thereof shall deliver to the Exchange Agent a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal in accordance with this Article II. Following the surrender of a Certificate by a record holder of Eligible Shares or the delivery of a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal by a holder of Opco LLC Stapled Units, as applicable, in each case in accordance with this Article II, there shall be paid to such holder, without interest, (1) promptly after such surrender, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and (2) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, holders of Book-Entry Shares who are entitled to receive shares of Parent Class A Common Stock under this Article II shall be paid (A) at the time of issuance of such

A-8

Parent Class A Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.04(b), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the time of such payment by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.04(b) and a payment date subsequent to the time of such payment by the Exchange Agent under Section 2.04(b) payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Class A Common Stock.

(e)   The Merger Consideration or Opco Merger Consideration (as applicable), and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d), issued and paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Class A Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates, the Book-Entry Shares or the Opco LLC Stapled Units, as applicable. At the Effective Time, (i) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Company Class A Common Stock or Company Class B Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the transfer books of Opco LLC shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Opco LLC Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for transfer or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares or Opco LLC Stapled Units, such Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Opco LLC Stapled Units shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Opco LLC Stapled Units. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall round such fractional share up to the nearest whole share of Parent Class A Common Stock (based on the total number of share to be issued to such owner).

(g)   Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Opco LLC Stapled Units one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any remaining holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (except to the extent representing Excluded Shares) or Opco LLC Stapled Units (except to the extent representing Excluded Opco LLC Units) shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company, as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Company Merger Consideration or Opco Merger Consideration (as applicable), and any unpaid dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(d).

(h)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.04, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, the Opco Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, dividends or other distributions with respect thereto or cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws.

(i)   The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments in amounts in excess of the amounts payable hereunder shall be paid to Parent on demand at any time and from time to time. Parent or the Surviving Company shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Opco LLC Stapled Units pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent, for any reason, the amount in the Exchange Fund is below that required to make prompt payment of the aggregate cash payments contemplated by this Article II, Parent shall promptly replace, restore or supplement the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make the payment of the aggregate cash payments contemplated by this Article II.

(j)   If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Exchange Agent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is

A-9

reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Company Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, and any dividends or other distributions payable to Section 2.04(d).

Section 2.05.    Withholding Rights.

(a)   Each of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, the Opco Surviving Company, the Company, Opco LLC and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Eligible Shares, Opco LLC Stapled Units or Company Stock Awards, as applicable, such amounts as the Person making such payment is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law (and, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent deduction and withholding is required in respect of the delivery of any Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, a portion of the Parent Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable hereunder may be withheld). To the extent that amounts are so properly deducted or withheld and paid over to the relevant Governmental Entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made, and, if a portion of the Parent Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable to a Person is withheld hereunder, the relevant withholding party shall be treated as having sold such Parent Class A Common Stock on behalf of such Person for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the required withholding (which fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Parent Board) and having paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

(b)   Opco LLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Parent at or prior to the Closing a properly executed certificate of non-foreign status, meeting the requirements of Code Sections 1445 and 1446(f) (and the applicable regulations thereunder), in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, with respect to each holder of Opco LLC Units. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, any amount under Code Sections 1445 and 1446(f) from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Opco LLC Units (in respect of such Opco LLC Units) for which such a certificate of non-foreign status is provided; provided, that this Section 2.05(b) shall not be construed to restrict the rights of the Exchange Agent or any Party to withhold under Code Sections 1445 and 1446(f) in respect of a change in applicable tax law occurring after the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.06.    Dissenters Rights.   No dissenters’ or appraisal rights, or rights of objecting shareholders, shall be available with respect to the Mergers or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of or the taking of actions inconsistent with the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.04 by any Representative of the Company, purporting to act on behalf of the applicable party or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.04 by the Company.

A-38

advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; (ii) thereafter furnish to such third party non-public information relating to the Company pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly (in all events within 48 hours) provided for informational purposes to the Parent); (iii) following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; and/or (iv) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders such party to take (which order remains unstayed), but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d)   Adverse Recommendation Change or Acquisition Agreement.   Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.04, the Company Board shall not effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) an Acquisition Agreement.

A-39

outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (after taking into account any adjustments made by the Parent during the Superior Proposal Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement) and that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e)   Intervening Event.   In circumstances not involving a Takeover Proposal, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if, and only if, after the date of this Agreement, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with their respective outside legal advisors) that (A) a Company Intervening Event has occurred or arisen, and (B) the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its duties under applicable Law.

(f)   Stop, Look and Listen.   Nothing contained in this Section 5.04 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking or disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to shareholders of the Company), (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to shareholders of the Company) or (iii) making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that nothing in this Section 5.04(f) shall be deemed to permit a Company Adverse Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 5.04(d).

A-44

contemplated by this Agreement, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and advisable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, and, if permitted by applicable Law and by any applicable Governmental Entity, provide the other party’s counsel with advance notice and the opportunity to attend and participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any required filing made thereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in no event will Parent be under any obligation to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 5.22 that would waive the protection of the attorney-client or other legal privilege or result in the violation of any applicable confidentiality undertakings; provided, however, that in such case, Parent will, to the extent permitted by applicable

A-48

or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including each Stockholder’s obligations to vote its Subject Shares as provided in this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy, in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Parties to cause the other Parties to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 7 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement

Section 9.   Severability.   Each provision of this Agreement is separable from every other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is found or held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (i) such provision will be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest possible extent, (ii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction, and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, if any covenant of a Stockholder in this Agreement is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant shall be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, shall be effective, binding and enforceable against each Stockholder and the Company, as applicable.

Section 10.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction.   This Agreement, and all claims, disputes, controversies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto) or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim, dispute, controversy or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties agrees that any action related to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable law, exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court in the State of Delaware and any appellate court from any thereof (the “Chosen Courts”). By executing and delivering this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably: (i) accepts generally and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any action relating to this Agreement; (ii) waives any objections which such Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action contemplated by this Section 10 and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any such action has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (iv) agrees that it will not bring any action contemplated by this Section 10 in any court other than the Chosen Courts; (v) agrees that service of all process, including the summons and complaint, in any action may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to such Party at their respective addresses provided in accordance with Section 17 or in any other manner permitted by law; and (vi) agrees that service as provided in the preceding clause (v) is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over such Party in the action, and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action in a Chosen Court as provided above may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, and each Party further agrees to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the enforcement or execution of any such judgment.

Section 11.   Waiver of Jury Trial.   THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 12.   Waiver.   No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any extension or waiver in favor of a Stockholder or the Company, as applicable, of any provision hereto shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the other Parties hereto; and provided, that (a) any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given, and (b) no such waiver shall be made without the prior written consent of the Credit Facility Agent.

Section 13.   Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by electronic or .pdf transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of any signature page by facsimile, electronic or .pdf transmission shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page.

Section 14.   Successors and Assigns.   The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that, except in connection with a transfer of Subject Shares by a Stockholder as described in Section 1(f) herein, no Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its affiliates at any time; provided that no such transfer or assignment shall relieve such party of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other Party.

Section 15.   Trusts.   If applicable, for purposes of this Agreement, each Stockholder with respect to any Subject Shares held in trust shall be deemed to be the relevant trust and/or the trustees thereof acting in their capacities as such trustees, in each case as the context may require, including for purposes of such trustees’ representations and warranties as to the proper organization of the trust, their power and authority as trustees and the non-contravention of the trust’s governing instruments.

Section 16.   Amendments.   This Agreement may only be amended or modified by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties, provided that no such amendment or modifications shall be made without the prior written consent of the Credit Facility Agent.

The Board of Directors
Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc.
132 East Putnam Avenue — Floor 2W
Cos Cob, CT 06807

Members of the Board:

We understand that Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (“CSSE”) and Redbox Entertainment Inc. (“RDBX”) intend to enter into a Merger Agreement to be dated as of May 10, 2022 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) RB First Merger Sub Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub Inc.”), will merge (the “First Company Merger”) with and into RDBX, with RDBX continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Corporation”), (ii) Redwood Opco Merger Sub LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Opco Merger Sub LLC”), will merge (the “Opco Merger”) with and into Redwood Intermediate LLC (“Opco LLC”), with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving entity (the “Opco Surviving Company”) and (iii) the Surviving Corporation will merge (together with the First Company Merger and the Opco Merger, the “Mergers”) with and into RB Second Merger Sub LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub LLC”), with Opco Surviving Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE. Pursuant to the Agreement, (i) each of the issued and outstanding shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of RDBX (the “RDBX Class A Shares”), subject to certain exceptions, will be converted into 0.087 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of CSSE (the “CSSE Class A Shares”), (ii) each of the issued and outstanding common units of Opco LLC (the “Opco LLC Units”), subject to certain exceptions, will be converted into a number of CSSE Class A Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, (iii) each of the issued and outstanding shares of the Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Redbox will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration. The terms and conditions of the Mergers are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

You have asked us to render our opinion as to whether the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to CSSE.

In connection with rendering our opinion, we have:

•

Reviewed a draft of the Agreement dated as of May 10, 2022;

•

Reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information regarding each of CSSE and RDBX;

•

Reviewed certain non-public business and financial information regarding CSSE’s and RDBX’s respective businesses and future prospects (including (i) certain financial projections for CSSE for the years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026 and assumptions with respect to CSSE’s net revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margins and content amortization for the years ending December 31, 2027 through December 31, 2031 and (ii) certain financial projections for RDBX for the years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026 (all of the foregoing pursuant to the preceding two clauses (i) and (ii), the “CSSE-Provided Financial Projections”) and certain other estimates and other forward-looking information), all as prepared and approved for our use by CSSE’s senior management (collectively with the Synergy Estimates (as defined below), the “CSSE-Provided Information”);

•

Reviewed certain non-public business and financial information regarding RDBX’s businesses and future prospects (including certain financial projections for RDBX on a stand-alone basis for the years

D-1

ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026 (the “RDBX-Provided Financial Projections” and, together with the CSSE-Provided Financial Projections, the “Financial Projections”) and certain other estimates and other forward-looking information), all as prepared and approved for our use by RDBX’s senior management and reviewed by, discussed with and approved for our use by CSSE’s senior management (collectively, the “RDBX-Provided Information”);

•

Reviewed certain estimated revenue enhancements, cost savings and other combination synergies expected to result from the Mergers and estimated costs to achieve the same (collectively, the “Synergy Estimates” or the “Synergies”), all as prepared and approved for our use by CSSE’s senior management and discussed with RDBX’s senior management;

•

Discussed with CSSE’s senior management their strategic and financial rationale for the Mergers as well as their views of CSSE’s and RDBX’s respective businesses, operations, historical and projected financial results and future prospects and the commercial, competitive and regulatory dynamics in the DTC/streaming, traditional media and exhibitors sectors;

•

Discussed with RDBX’s senior management their views of RDBX’s business, operations, historical and projected financial results and future prospects and the commercial, competitive and regulatory dynamics in the DTC/streaming, traditional media and exhibitors sectors;

•

Performed discounted cash flow analyses based on the CSSE-Provided Financial Projections and the Synergy Estimates;

•

Reviewed the historical prices, trading multiples and trading activity of the CSSE Class A Shares and the RDBX Class A Shares;

•

Compared the financial performance of CSSE and RDBX and the trading multiples and trading activity of the CSSE Class A Shares and the RDBX Class A Shares with corresponding data for certain other publicly traded companies that we deemed relevant in evaluating CSSE and RDBX;

•

Reviewed the pro forma financial results, financial condition and capitalization of CSSE giving effect to the Mergers and illustrated the pro forma financial impact of the Mergers on a discounted cash flow basis and over a range of potential trading multiples;

•

Conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

With respect to the information used in arriving at our opinion:

•

We have relied upon and assumed the accuracy, completeness and reasonableness of all industry, business, financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, actuarial and other information provided by or discussed with CSSE or RDBX (including, without limitation, the CSSE-Provided Information and the RDBX-Provided Information) or obtained from public sources, data suppliers and other third parties.

•

We (i) do not assume any responsibility, obligation or liability for the accuracy, completeness, reasonableness, achievability or independent verification of, and we have not independently verified, any such information (including, without limitation, the CSSE-Provided Information or the RDBX-Provided Information), (ii) express no view or opinion regarding the reasonableness or achievability of the Financial Projections, the Synergy Estimates, any other estimates and any other forward-looking information provided by CSSE or RDBX or the assumptions upon which any of the foregoing are based and (iii) have relied upon the assurances of CSSE’s senior management that they are (in the case of the CSSE-Provided Information) and have assumed that RDBX’s senior management are (in the case of the RDBX-Provided Information) unaware of any facts or circumstances that would make the CSSE-Provided Information or the RDBX-Provided Information incomplete, inaccurate or misleading.

•

Specifically, with respect to (i) the CSSE-Provided Financial Projections and the Synergy Estimates utilized in our analyses, (a) we have been advised by CSSE’s senior management, and we have assumed, that the CSSE-Provided Financial Projections and the Synergy Estimates have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of CSSE’s senior management as to the expected future performance of CSSE, RDBX and the Surviving Company and

D-2

the expected amounts and realization of the Synergies and (b) we have assumed that the CSSE-Provided Financial Projections and the Synergy Estimates have been reviewed by CSSE’s Board of Directors with the understanding that such information will be used and relied upon by us in connection with rendering our opinion, (ii) the RDBX-Provided Financial Projections, we have assumed that such financial projections have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of RDBX’s senior management as to the expected future performance of RDBX on a stand-alone basis and (iii) any financial projections/forecasts, any other estimates and/or any other forward-looking information obtained by us from public sources, data suppliers and other third parties, we have assumed that such information is reasonable and reliable.

In arriving at our opinion, we have not performed or obtained any independent appraisal of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets and liabilities) of CSSE, RDBX or any other entity or the solvency or fair value of CSSE, RDBX or any other entity, nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals. We are not legal, regulatory, tax, consulting, accounting, appraisal or actuarial experts and nothing in our opinion should be construed as constituting advice with respect to such matters; accordingly, we have relied on the assessments of CSSE’s senior management, RDBX’s senior management and CSSE’s and RDBX’s respective other professional advisors with respect to such matters. We have assumed that the Mergers will qualify, for US federal income tax purposes, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and that the Agreement will qualify as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). We are not expressing any view or rendering any opinion regarding the tax consequences of the Mergers to CSSE, RDBX, Opco LLC or their respective securityholders. We have also assumed that no payments are made under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined in the Agreement) at any time following the execution of the Agreement and that the TRA Amendment (as defined in the Agreement) providing for the termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement with no payments thereunder is executed.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed that, in all respects meaningful to our analyses, (i) the final executed form of the Agreement (and all agreements included as Exhibits thereto) will not differ from the draft that we have reviewed, (ii) CSSE, Merger Sub Inc., Merger Sub LLC, Opco Merger Sub LLC, RDBX and Opco LLC will comply with all terms and provisions of the Agreement and (iii) the representations and warranties of CSSE, Merger Sub Inc., Merger Sub LLC, Opco Merger Sub LLC, RDBX and Opco LLC contained in the Agreement are true and correct and all conditions to the obligations of each party to the Agreement to consummate the Mergers will be satisfied without any waiver, amendment or modification thereof. We also have assumed that the Mergers will be consummated in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and in compliance with all applicable legal and other requirements, without any delays, limitations, restrictions, conditions, divestiture or other requirements, waivers, amendments or modifications (regulatory, tax-related or otherwise) that would have an effect on CSSE, RDBX, Opco or the Mergers (including its contemplated benefits) in any way meaningful to our analyses or opinion.

In rendering our opinion, we do not express any view or opinion as to the price or range of prices at which the CSSE Class A Shares, the RDBX Class A Shares, the Opco LLC Units or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to CSSE, RDBX or Opco LLC may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time, including subsequent to the announcement or consummation of the Mergers.

We have acted as a financial advisor to CSSE in connection with the Mergers and will receive a customary fee for such services, a substantial portion of which is payable upon successful consummation of the Mergers and a portion of which is payable upon rendering our opinion. In addition, CSSE has agreed to reimburse us for certain expenses and to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

As previously disclosed, we have in the past provided, and may in the future seek to provide, CSSE, RDBX, Apollo (as defined below) and their respective affiliates and creditors with financial advisory and investment banking services unrelated to the Mergers, for which services we have received, or would expect to receive, customary consideration.. Specifically during the past two years, in addition to our current engagement by CSSE as its financial advisor in connection with the Mergers, we were engaged as a joint book-running manager for CSSE’s July 2021 underwritten public offering of common stock for which services

D-3

we received agreed upon fees. Also as previously disclosed, we have not been previously engaged during the past two years by RDBX to provide financial advisory or investment banking services for which we received fees. During the past two years we have been engaged by Apollo Global Management Inc. and its affiliates, investment funds and portfolio companies (collectively, “Apollo,” with Apollo being RDBX’s majority stockholder) to provide certain financial advisory and other investment banking services in connection with various matters unrelated to the Mergers, for which services we received agreed upon fees.

We and our affiliates and related entities engage in a wide range of financial services activities for our and their own accounts and the accounts of customers, including but not limited to: asset, investment and wealth management; insurance services; investment banking, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions and restructuring; merchant banking; fixed income and equity sales, trading and research; and derivatives, foreign exchange and futures. In the ordinary course of these activities, we and our affiliates and related entities may (i) provide such financial services to CSSE, RDBX, Apollo, other participants in the Mergers and their respective affiliates, investment funds and portfolio companies, for which services we and our affiliates and related entities may have received, and may in the future receive, compensation and (ii) directly and indirectly hold long and short positions, trade and otherwise conduct such activities in or with respect to loans, debt and equity securities and derivative products of or relating to CSSE, RDBX, Apollo, other participants in the Mergers and their respective affiliates, investment funds and portfolio companies. Furthermore, we and our affiliates and related entities and our or their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants and agents may have investments in CSSE, RDBX, Apollo, other participants in the Mergers and their respective affiliates, investment funds and portfolio companies.

Consistent with applicable legal and regulatory guidelines, we have adopted certain policies and procedures to establish and maintain the independence of our research departments and personnel. As a result, our research analysts may hold views, make statements or investment recommendations and publish research reports with respect to CSSE, RDBX, Apollo, other participants in the Mergers and their respective affiliates, investment funds and portfolio companies and the Mergers that differ from the views of our investment banking personnel.

Our opinion has been provided to CSSE’s Board of Directors (in its capacity as such) for its information and assistance in connection with its evaluation of the Exchange Ratio. Our opinion may not be disclosed publicly, made available to third parties or reproduced, disseminated, quoted from or referred to at any time, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent; provided, however, that this letter may be included in its entirety in any proxy statement/​information statement/​prospectus to be distributed to the holders of CSSE common stock, RDBX common stock or Opco LLC Units in connection with the Mergers.

Our opinion and any materials provided in connection therewith do not constitute a recommendation to CSSE’s Board of Directors with respect to the Mergers, nor does our opinion or any summary of our underlying analyses constitute advice or a recommendation to any holder of CSSE common stock, RDBX common stock or Opco LLC Units as to how to vote or act in connection with the Mergers or otherwise. Our opinion does not address CSSE’s underlying business or financial decision to pursue or effect the Mergers, the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any alternative business or financial strategies that might exist for CSSE or the effects of any other transaction in which CSSE might engage. Our opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date hereof, of the Exchange Ratio to CSSE to the extent expressly specified herein. We do not express any view or opinion as to (i) any other term, aspect or implication of (a) the Mergers (including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Mergers) or the Agreement or (b) any other agreement, transaction document or instrument contemplated by the Agreement or to be entered into or amended in connection with the Mergers, including without limitation the TRA Amendment (as defined in the Agreement), the Debt Conversion Agreement (as defined in the Agreement) or the Redwood Voting Agreement (as defined in the Agreement) or (ii) the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the Mergers to, or of any consideration to be paid to or received by, the holders of any class of securities (other than as expressly specified herein), creditors or other constituencies of CSSE, RDBX or Opco LLC. Our opinion (i) does not address the individual circumstances of specific holders of securities (including stock options and warrants) of CSSE, RDBX, Opco LLC or their respective affiliates with respect to rights or aspects which may distinguish such holders or the securities (including stock options and warrants) of CSSE, RDBX, Opco LLC or their respective affiliates held by such holders, (ii) does not address, take into consideration or give effect to any rights, preferences, restrictions or limitations or other attributes of any

Our opinion has been authorized for issuance by our Fairness Opinion and Valuation Committee.

As CSSE is aware, global economic conditions and the global capital markets have been experiencing and remain subject to significant volatility, and we express no view or opinion as to any potential effects of such volatility on CSSE, RDBX, Opco LLC or the Mergers. We assume no responsibility for updating or revising our opinion based on facts, circumstances or events occurring after the date hereof.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to CSSE.

Very truly yours,

It is Duff & Phelps’ understanding that the proposed transaction involves a business combination between the Company and Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc.

E-2

information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing the same, and Duff & Phelps expresses no opinion with respect to such projections or the underlying assumptions, with Duff & Phelps being directed by Company’s management to utilize the Redbox Projections, the CSSE Projections and the Synergy Projections for purposes of the Pro Forma Combined Projections in connection with its financial analysis;

9.

Assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the Proposed Transaction.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Duff & Phelps’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction.

Duff & Phelps has prepared this Opinion effective as of the date hereof. This Opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date hereof, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after the date hereof.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate the Company’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise).

Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the Company’s common stock or CSSE’s common stock after the announcement or the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. This Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of the Company’s credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

E-3

In rendering this Opinion, Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the Company’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

This Opinion is furnished solely for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the Proposed Transaction and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without Duff & Phelps’ express consent. This Opinion (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Proposed Transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) does not address any transaction related to the Proposed Transaction; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how the Board of Directors or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Proposed Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction; and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration received is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it states whether the consideration in the Proposed Transaction is within a fairness range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which this Opinion is based. This letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Duff & Phelps to any party.

This Opinion is solely that of Duff & Phelps, and Duff & Phelps’ liability in connection with this letter shall be limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the engagement letter between Duff & Phelps and the Company dated April 20, 2022 (the “Engagement Letter”). This letter is confidential, and its use and disclosure are strictly limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the Engagement Letter.

Disclosure of Prior Relationships

Duff & Phelps has acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors and will receive a fee for its services. No portion of Duff & Phelps’ fee is contingent upon either the conclusion expressed in this Opinion or whether or not the Proposed Transaction is successfully consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, a portion of Duff & Phelps’ fee is payable upon Duff & Phelps informing the Company that it is prepared to deliver its Opinion. Other than this engagement, during the two years preceding the date of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has not had any material relationship with any party to the Proposed Transaction for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated.

Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, Duff & Phelps is of the opinion that as of the date hereof the consideration to be received by the public stockholders of the Company in the Proposed Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the public stockholders of the Company (without giving effect to any impact of the Proposed Transaction on any particular stockholder other than in its capacity as a stockholder).

This Opinion has been approved by the Opinion Review Committee of Duff & Phelps.

Section 2.02   Loans and Borrowings.

(a)   Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans under the same Facility and of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments under the applicable Facility. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b)   Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.

(c)   At the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than (i) 10 SOFR Borrowings outstanding under all Term Facilities at any time and (ii) 10 SOFR Borrowings outstanding under all Revolving Facilities at any time. Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(d)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing of any Class if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the Term Facility Maturity Date for such Class, as applicable.

Section 2.03    Requests for Borrowings.   To request a Revolving Facility Borrowing and/or an Incremental Term Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing in the form of a Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower by hand delivery or electronic means (a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, (x) at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a Revolving Facility Borrowing in an amount less than $5,000,000, and (y) at least fifteen (15) Business Days in advance of the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a Revolving Facility Borrowing in an amount greater than or equal to $5,000,000 or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time, (x) at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a Revolving Facility Borrowing in an amount less than $5,000,000, and (y) at least fifteen (15) Business Days in advance of the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a Revolving Facility Borrowing in an amount greater than or equal to $5,000,000 provided, that, (i) to request a SOFR Borrowing or ABR Borrowing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing (which may be by electronic means) not later than 5:00 p.m., Local Time, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), and (ii) any such notice of an Incremental Term Borrowing may be given at such time as provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each such written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)   whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable;

(ii)   the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(iii)   the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day (the “Borrowing Date”);

(iv)   whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing;

(v)   in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

F-46

(vi)   the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the currency of any Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, then the requested Borrowing shall be made in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04   [Reserved].

Section 2.05    [Reserved].

Section 2.06    Funding of Borrowings.

(a)   Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon receipt of all funds requested in the applicable Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account or accounts designated by the Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c)   The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make a Revolving Facility Loan on behalf of the Lenders. In such event, the applicable Lenders on behalf of whom the Administrative Agent made the Revolving Facility Loan shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Revolving Facility Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to each applicable Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Revolving Facility Loan for the period from and including the date on which such Revolving Facility Loan was made on such Lender’s behalf to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Revolving Facility Loan by such Lender shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

Section 2.07   Interest Elections.

(a)   Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected

F-47

Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)   To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by hand delivery or electronic means an Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

(c)   Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)   the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)   the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)   whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv)   if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall be in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and satisfy the limitations specified in Section 2.02(c) regarding the maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type.

(d)   Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)   If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, each Class of Term Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR shall have the same Interest Period.

Section 2.08   Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)   The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments.

F-48

(b)   If at any time, and from time to time, the Existing Midcap Facility Commitments are increased to an amount greater than the Specified Existing Midcap Facility Committed Amount, the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be automatically reduced by on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount by which the actual Existing Midcap Facility Commitments exceed the Specified Existing Midcap Facility Committed Amount.

(c)   The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination or reduction of Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.09   Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)   The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan to the Borrower on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Facility Loans as provided in Section 2.10(b) and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10(a).

(b)   Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c)   The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)   The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; providedfurther, that if such accounts are inconsistent with the Register, the Register shall prevail.

(e)   Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

(i)   all Net Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and Excess Cash Flow pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be allocated to the Class or Classes of Term Loans determined pursuant to Section 2.10(d); provided, that any Lender, at its option, may elect to decline any such prepayment of any Term Loan held by it if it shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent thereof by 5:00 p.m. Local Time at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (any such Lender, a “Declining Lender”) and on the date of any such prepayment, any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall instead be reoffered to the non-Declining Lenders on a pro rata basis and, if such Lenders elect to decline such amounts retained by the Borrower for application for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement, and

(ii)   any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Term B Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term B Loans.

(d)   Any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or (c) shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Term B Loans, the Term B-1 Loans and the Other Term Loans, if any, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term B Loans, Term B-1 Loans and Other Term Loans, if any. Prior to any prepayment of any Loan under any Facility hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable Facility to be prepaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which may be by electronic means) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, at least one Business Day before the scheduled date of such prepayment and (ii) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, at least three Business Days before the scheduled date of such prepayment (or, in each case such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. All repayments and prepayments of Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid to the extent required by Section 2.13(d).

Section 2.11   Prepayment of Loans.

(a)   The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(d).

(b)   The Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds and Extraordinary Receipts promptly upon receipt thereof (but in no event later than five Business Days after receipt thereof) to prepay Term Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) of Section 2.10.

(c)   Not later than 5 Business Days after the date on which the financial statements are, or are required to be, delivered under Section 5.04(a), as applicable with respect to each Excess Cash Flow Period, the Borrower shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period and the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to (i) the Required Percentage of Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) to the extent not financed using the proceeds of the incurrence of funded Indebtedness, the sum of the amount of any voluntary payments made during such Excess Cash Flow Period (plus, without duplication of any amounts previously deducted under this clause (c), the amount of any voluntary payments after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period but before the date of prepayment under this clause (c)) of Term Loans, to prepay Term Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) of Section 2.10. Such calculation will be set forth in a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount,

F-50

if any, of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal quarter, the amount of any required prepayment in respect thereof and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail.

(d)   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.11 to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, Extraordinary Receipts received by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) but is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States of America, the portion of such Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States of America, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), to the extent provided therein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent that repatriation of any or all of such Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow that would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Subsidiary to promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions within the reasonable control of the Borrower that are reasonably required to eliminate such tax effects).

(e)   In the event that the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Facility Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(a)   The Borrower shall pay to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the date that is three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the applicable Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

(b)   All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

(c)   The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the “Agent Fee” as set forth in the Agency Fee Letter.

Section 2.13   Interest.

(a)   The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)   The Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at the [Adjusted Term SOFR] for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(b), 7.01(c), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i)), at the election of the Required Lenders, and (y) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in

F-51

Section 7.01(b), 7.01(c), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i), automatically, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to (i) in the case of the principal amount of all Loans outstanding, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.13, or (ii) in the case of any other amount owed hereunder, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in clause (a) of this Section; provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(d)   Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon the termination of the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments, and (iii) in the case of the Term Loans, on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date; provided, that (A) interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Facility Loan that is an ABR Loan that is not made in conjunction with a permanent commitment reduction), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)   All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR or Adjusted Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)   (i)   With respect to each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the PIK End Date, the Borrower may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Loans on such Interest Payment Date (A) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”), (B) entirely by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (“PIK Interest”) or (C) a portion as Cash Interest and a portion as PIK Interest (such election PIK Interest under clauses (B) or (C), a “PIK Election”). The Borrower must elect the form of interest payment with respect to each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the PIK End Date by delivering a notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest on each Term Loan in the form of PIK Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date, and on each other date when interest otherwise would be payable in cash hereunder with respect to the Term Loans, during the PIK Period by capitalizing the amount thereof and adding such amount to the outstanding amount of such Term Loan as additional principal obligations hereunder on and as of such date and shall automatically constitute a part of the outstanding amount of such Term Loan for all purposes hereof (including the accrual of interest thereon at the rates applicable to such Term Loan generally). Interest on each Revolving Facility Loan in the form of PIK Interest shall be payable quarterly on each Interest Payment Date, and on each other date when interest otherwise would be payable in cash hereunder with respect to the Revolving Facility Loans, by capitalizing the amount thereof and by deeming such amount to be an additional loan (a “Revolving PIK Loan”) made by each Revolving Facility Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of such interest paid in kind on and as of such date. Each Revolving PIK Loan shall (i) be deemed to be a Revolving Facility Loan for all purposes under this Agreement (including the accrual of interest thereon at the rates applicable to Revolving Facility Loans generally); provided that (A) outstanding Revolving PIK Loans shall not be deemed to be outstanding Revolving Facility Loans for purposes of determining Revolving Facility Credit Exposure solely for purposes of Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.11(e), (B) amounts prepaid in respect of the Revolving PIK Loans shall not be permitted to be reborrowed and (C) amounts prepaid in respect of Revolving Facility Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied first to the Revolving PIK Loans.

(ii)   With respect to each Interest Payment Date occurring after the PIK End Date, interest on the Loans shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date solely as Cash Interest.

F-52

Section 2.14   Alternate Rate of Interest.   If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Borrowing:

(a)   the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period; or

(b)   the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16.

Section 2.15   Increased Costs.

(a)   If any Change in Law shall:

(i)   impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR); or

(ii)   subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to any Loan Document (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 or (ii) Excluded Taxes); or

(iii)   impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)   If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)   A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that any such certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of “Change in Law” shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation is not inconsistent with its treatment of other

F-53

borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)   Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16   Break Funding Payments.   In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow (other than due to the default of the relevant Lender), convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17   Taxes.

(a)   Any and all payments made by or on behalf of a Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes except as required by Requirements of Law. If a Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the applicable withholding agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by a Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of a Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, acting reasonably) received by the Loan Party showing payment thereof. Without duplication, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Requirements of Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(b)   The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

F-54

(c)   The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)   Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding of Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, any such withholding of Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(i)(A), (i)(B), (i)(C), (ii), (iii) and (iv)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(e)   Without limiting the generality of Section 2.17(d):

(i)   each Foreign Lender with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the date on which the first payment to the Foreign Lender is due hereunder, two copies of (A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any applicable successor form) (together with a certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, such certificate, the “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”) certifying that such Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a “10-percent shareholder” ​(within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a CFC related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and that the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business within the United States of America), (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement, (C) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (A) and (B) above, provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership, and one or more of the partners is claiming portfolio interest treatment, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such partners) or (D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

(ii)   each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly

F-55

executed, certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the U.S. Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(iii)   such Lender or such Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

(iv)   the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (x)(I) prior to the date on which the first payment by the Borrower is due hereunder or (II) prior to the first date on or after the date on which such Agent becomes a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.09 on which payment by the Borrower is due hereunder, as applicable, two copies of a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying its exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding or such other properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law certifying its entitlement to an available exemption from applicable U.S. federal withholding taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Agent by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document including, as applicable, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations, and (y) on or before the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrower, two further copies of such documentation.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update and provide two further copies of such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Each person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 9.04 or a Lender pursuant to Section 9.04 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.17(e); provided that a Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the person from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(f)   If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of an Indemnified Tax for which a payment has been made by a Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Loan Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Loan Party for such amount (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any Taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the Indemnified Tax giving rise to such refund had not been imposed in the first instance; provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event the Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. No Lender nor the

F-56

Administrative Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 2.17.

(g)   [Reserved].

(h)   The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document.

For purposes of this Section 2.17, the terms “applicable law” and “applicable Requirement of Law” include FATCA.

Section 2.18   Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)   Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, premiums, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments made under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b)   Subject to Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and premium then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and premium then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)   If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Term Loans of a given Class or Revolving Facility Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans of such Class and such Revolving Facility Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled to receive the same proportion of such payment, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase participations in the Term Loans of such Class and such Revolving Facility Loans of such other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the principal amount of each such Lender’s respective Term Loans of such Class and such Revolving Facility Loans and accrued interest thereon; provided, that the provisions of this clause (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

F-57

(d)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)   If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.06 or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19   Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)   If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.20, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)   If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.20, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the extent consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04, provided, that if such removed Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

(c)   If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted

their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to (and any such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Borrower’s request) assign its Loans and its Commitments (or, at the Borrower’s option, the Loans and Commitments under the Facility that is the subject of the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination) hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (unless such assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund); provided, that: (a) all Loan Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (c) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.20   Illegality.   If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any SOFR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to SOFR Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all SOFR Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

Section 2.21   Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

(a)   The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount; provided that (A) the Borrower shall first seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments from the existing Lenders, (B) any existing Lender approached to provide any Incremental Term Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, (C) if the existing Lenders decline to provide the full amount of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the Borrower may then seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments on the same terms from other persons and (D) any person that the Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Term Lender, if such person is not then an existing Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective and (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be (x) commitments to make term loans with terms identical to Term B Loans or (y) commitments to make term loans with pricing, maturity, amortization, participation in mandatory prepayments and/or other terms different from the Term B Loans or the Term B-1 Loans (“Other Term Loans”).

(b)   The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans shall be governed by this Agreement unless otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement. The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such

F-59

Incremental Term Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided, that:

(i)   any commitments to make additional Term B Loans shall have the same terms as the Term B Loans;

(ii)   the Other Term Loans incurred pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.21 shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term B Loans and shall have the same guarantees and collateral as the Term B Loans;

(iii)   the final maturity date of any such Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest of the Term B Facility Maturity Date and, except as to pricing, amortization, final maturity date, participation in mandatory prepayments, and any financial maintenance covenants contemplated by clause (x) below (which, in each case, shall, subject to the other clauses of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders in their sole discretion), shall have (x) substantially similar terms as the Term B Loans or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(iv)   there shall be no amortization;

(v)   with respect to any Other Term Loan, the All-in Yield shall be the same as that applicable to the Term B Loans on the Closing Date, except that the All-in Yield in respect of any such Other Term Loan may exceed the All-in Yield in respect of such Term B Loans on the Closing Date by no more than 0.50%, or if it does so exceed such All-in Yield (such difference, the “Term Yield Differential”) by more than 0.50% then the Applicable Margin (or the “Term SOFR floor” as provided in the following proviso) applicable to the outstanding Term B Loans or the Term B-1 Loans, as applicable, shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the applicable Term Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%; provided that, to the extent any portion of such Term Yield Differential is attributable to a higher “Term SOFR floor” being applicable to such Other Term Loans, such floor shall only be included in the calculation of the Term Yield Differential to the extent such floor is greater than the Adjusted Term SOFR in effect for an Interest Period of three months’ duration at such time, and, with respect to such excess, the “Term SOFR floor” applicable to the outstanding Term B Loans shall be increased to an amount not to exceed the “Term SOFR floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans prior to any increase in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Term B Loans then outstanding;

(vi)   such Other Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Term B Loans in any mandatory prepayment hereunder;

(vii)   there shall be no obligor in respect of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments that is not a Loan Party; and

(viii)   any Incremental Term Facility may include financial maintenance covenants in addition to, or more onerous than, the Financial Covenant (each, a “Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant”) so long as such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant is added for the benefit of the existing Facilities; provided that no existing Lender consent shall be required in order to add such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant.

Each party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in clause (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower; (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to

F-60

the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assure that the Incremental Term Loans are secured by the Collateral ratably with the Term B Loans, (iii) the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be used for general corporate purposes, other than for making Restricted Payments, and (iv) any fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans owed to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders hereunder or under the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement shall have been paid.

(d)   Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans of a different Class), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the outstanding applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of SOFR Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

(e)   Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) for the purpose of determining the number of outstanding SOFR Borrowings upon the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans, to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple SOFR Borrowings under the Term Facilities fall on the same day, such SOFR Borrowings shall be considered a single SOFR Borrowing and (ii) the initial Interest Period with respect to any SOFR Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans may, at the Borrower’s option, be of a duration of a number of Business Days that is less than one month, and the Adjusted Term SOFR with respect to such initial Interest Period shall be the same as the Adjusted Term SOFR applicable to any then-outstanding SOFR Borrowing as the Borrower may direct, so long as the last day of such initial Interest Period is the same as the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such outstanding SOFR Borrowing.

Section 2.22   Defaulting Lender.

(a)   Defaulting Lender Adjustments.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)   Waivers and Amendments.   Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Facility Lenders.”

(ii)   Defaulting Lender Waterfall.   Any payment of principal, interest, fees, premiums or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay

F-61

amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)   Certain Fees.   No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)   Defaulting Lender Cure.   If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.23   Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)   Benchmark Replacement.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)   Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.   In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)   Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.   The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.23(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.23, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.23.

(d)   Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” ​(or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings

F-62

at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” ​(or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)   Benchmark Unavailability Period.   Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark will not be used in any determination of ABR.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

Section 8.01   Appointment.

(a)   Each Lender and, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and Guarantees under the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank party to a Secured Hedge Agreement hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Collateral Agent as the agent for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under the Security Documents, and each such Lender and Hedge Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in such capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s behalf. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Hedge Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents.

(b)   In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender and, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and Guarantees under the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank party to a Secured Hedge Agreement hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Hedge Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) and Article IX (including, without limitation, Section 9.05) as though the Collateral Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 8.02   Delegation of Duties.   The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Each Agent may also from time to time, when it deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by an Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by such Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges

F-101

and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects with reasonable care.

Section 8.03   Exculpatory Provisions.   None of the Agents, or their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation under Section 7.01(l)) or any other Loan Document, except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) no Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. No Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 7.02, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank.

Section 8.04   Reliance by Agents.   Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Borrowing, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to such Borrowing. Each

F-102

Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 8.05   Notice of Default.   Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.06   Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.   Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of, the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 8.07   Indemnification.   The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and, in the case of the indemnification of each Agent, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments hereunder); provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its ratable

F-103

share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.08   Agent in Its Individual Capacity.   Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 8.09   Successor Administrative Agent.   The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Borrower shall have the right (so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Required Lenders shall have the sole right), subject to the reasonable consent of the Required Lenders, to appoint a successor which shall have an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such successor with an office in the United States, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective (except in the case of the Collateral Agent holding collateral security on behalf of such Secured Parties, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed), and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as provided above) appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.10   Credit Bidding.   The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (which governance documents shall not treat any Secured Party in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to the other Secured Parties without its consent), (iv) the Administrative Agent

F-104

on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, and shall issue to each of the Secured Parties, in each case, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Section 8.11   Security Documents and Collateral Agent.   The Lenders and the other Secured Parties authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Collateral or Guarantors in accordance with Section 9.18 or if approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 9.08.

The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (i) or (mm) of Section 6.02 or Section 6.02(a) (if the Liens thereunder are of a type that is contemplated by any of the foregoing clauses) in each case to the extent the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Liens on such property or (ii) that is or becomes Excluded Property; and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall do so upon request of the Borrower; provided, that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying (x) that such Lien is permitted under this Agreement, (y) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence, that the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Lien on such property and (z) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence, that (A) such property is or has become Excluded Property and (B) if such property has become Excluded Property as a result of a contractual restriction, such restriction does not violate Section 6.09(c).

Section 8.12   Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantees.   In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, either of the Agents or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other Disposition.

Section 8.13   Withholding Tax.   To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, fines, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.13.

Section 8.14   ABL Intercreditor Agreement.   Each Lender hereby (i) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) consents to the subordination of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the ABL Security Agreement) securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provision is intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the Borrower and such Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

(a)   The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null

F-107

and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 9.04), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b)   (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in subclause (ii) below, any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)   [reserved]; and

(B)   the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii)   Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)   except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x) $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans and (y) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, Revolving Facility Commitments, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided, that such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Related Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any;

(B)   the parties to each assignment shall (1) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (2) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in each case together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent);

(C)   the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and receipt by the Administrative Agent of all documentation and other information with respect to the assignee that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT ACT, including any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17; and

(D)   no Affiliate Lender may assign any Loans or commitments to any person without the consent of HPS.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” shall mean any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (A) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons described in this clause (A) or (B) a natural person.

(iii)   Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subclause (v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a

F-108

party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 9.04 (except to the extent such participation is not permitted by such clause (d) of this Section 9.04, in which case such assignment or transfer shall be null and void).

(iv)   The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and interest amounts on) the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice; provided, that no Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to, or be otherwise permitted to review, any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender.

(v)   Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and all documentation and other information with respect to the assignee that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT ACT (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section, if applicable, and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subclause (v).

(c)   [Reserved].

(d)   (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations in Loans and Commitments to one or more banks or other entities other than any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that both (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly adversely affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any waiver of any Default or Event of Default) and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between

F-109

such Lender and such Participant. Subject to clause (d)(iii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections and Section 2.19) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)   Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and interest amounts on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each party hereto shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Without limitation of the requirements of Section 9.04(d), no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other Loan Obligations under any Loan Document), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Loan Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or is otherwise required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(iii)   A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, which consent shall state that it is being given pursuant to this Section 9.04(d)(iii); provided, that each potential Participant shall provide such information as is reasonably requested by the Borrower in order for the Borrower to determine whether to provide its consent.

(e)   Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)   The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in clause (e) above.

(g)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(h)   [Reserved].

(i)   [Reserved].

(j)   [Reserved].

F-110

(k)   In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Section 9.05   Expenses; Indemnity.   

(a)   The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, if necessary, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction, and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all such persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where such person affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with, in the case of any Lender, the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), of another firm of counsel for such affected person).

(b)   The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates, successors and assignors, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and members (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with, in the case of any Lender, the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any violation of or liability under Environmental Laws to the extent relating in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of or exposure to Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted

F-111

from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (y) arose from a material breach of such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ obligations under any Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment) or (z) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent in its capacity as such). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to the Permitted Holders, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facilities or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 15 days after written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(c)   Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from a non-Tax claim), which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.17 and, to the extent set forth therein, Section 2.15.

(d)   To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e)   The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06   Right of Set-off.   If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 9.07   Applicable Law.   THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET

F-112

FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW.

Section 9.08   Waivers; Amendment.   

(a)   No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)   Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.14 or Section 2.21, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or, (A) in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 4.01 or 2.10(b) after the Closing Date, the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, rather than the Required Lenders, or (B) in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 2.11(b) or (c), the Required Prepayment Lenders, rather than the Required Lenders), and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i)   decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that any amendment to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

(ii)   increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender, or decrease the Commitment Fees or any other Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default, mandatory prepayments or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitments of any Lender for purposes of this clause (ii),

(iii)   extend or waive any Term Loan installment or reduce the amount due on any Term Loan installment or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(iv)   amend the provisions of Section 7.02 or Section 2.18(c) with respect to the pro rata application of payments required thereby in a manner that by its terms modifies the application of such payments required thereby to be on a less than pro rata basis, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(v)   amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders,” “Required Prepayment Lenders,” “Required Revolving Facility Lenders”

or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, in each case except, for the avoidance of doubt, as otherwise provided in Section 9.08(d) and (e) (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

(vi)   release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their respective Guarantees under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender other than a Defaulting Lender,

(vii)   effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in another Facility, without the consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility except, for the avoidance of doubt, as otherwise provided in Section 9.08(d) and (e) (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed);

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Assignee of such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be affected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(c)   Without the consent of any Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document.

(d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to permit additional extensions of credit to be outstanding hereunder from time to time and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, the Revolving Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the holders of such extensions of credit in any determination of the requisite lenders required hereunder, including Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and the Required Revolving Facility Lenders.

(e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of

F-114

any Lender) to the extent necessary (A) to integrate any Incremental Term Loan Commitments in a manner consistent with Section 2.21, including, with respect to Other Term Loans, as may be necessary to establish such Incremental Term Loan Commitments as a separate Class or tranche from the existing Term Facility Commitments, (B) to effect an alternate interest rate in a manner consistent with Section 2.14 or (C) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency.

(f)   Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be necessary to ensure that all Term Loans established pursuant to Section 2.21 after the Closing Date that will be included in an existing Class of Term Loans outstanding on such date (an “Applicable Date”), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class (the “Existing Class Loans”), on a pro rata basis, and/or to ensure that, immediately after giving effect to such new Term Loans (the “New Class Loans” and, together with the Existing Class Loans, the “Class Loans”), each Lender holding Class Loans will be deemed to hold its Pro Rata Share of each Class Loan on the Applicable Date (but without changing the amount of any such Lender’s Term Loans), and each such Lender shall be deemed to have effectuated such assignments as shall be required to ensure the foregoing. The “Pro Rata Share” of any Lender on the Applicable Date is the ratio of (1) the sum of such Lender’s Existing Class Loans immediately prior to the Applicable Date plus the amount of New Class Loans made by such Lender on the Applicable Date over (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Class Loans on the Applicable Date.

(g)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, waived or otherwise modified with the written consent of the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with respect to (i) the provisions of Section 4.01, solely as they relate to the Revolving Facility Loans and (ii) the provisions of Section 2.10(b).

(h)   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Affiliate Lender:

(1)   hereby agrees that in connection with any (i) consent (or decision not to consent) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document, (ii) other action on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) direction to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, such Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders, in each case, except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action (x) described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso of Section 9.08(b) or (y) that adversely affects such Affiliate Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to other Lenders;

(2)   if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliate Lender, hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliate Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliate Lender in the same proportion as the vote of Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders on the relevant matter, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliate Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliate Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it in the same proportion as the vote of Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders on the relevant matter; provided that (x) such Affiliate Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to vote on behalf of such Affiliate Lender, in each case, in connection with any matter to the extent that any such matter proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliate Lender in a manner that is different in an adverse way than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders;

(3)   will not be entitled to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited, (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive continuation notices

F-115

and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II) or (C) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent under the Loan Documents; and

(4)   shall not have any right to receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to Lenders other than Affiliate Lenders or to challenge the Lenders’ attorney-client privilege in its capacity as a Lender.

Each Affiliate Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliate Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliate Lender and in the name of such Affiliate Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 9.08(h).

Section 9.09   Interest Rate Limitation.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10   Entire Agreement.   This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.   EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12   Severability.   In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13   Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)   Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)   Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

F-117

such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender.

Section 9.17   Platform; Borrower Materials.   The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information (or, if the Borrower is not at the time a public reporting company, material information of a type that would not reasonably be expected to be publicly available if the Borrower was a public reporting company) with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as solely containing information that is either (A) publicly available information or (B) not material (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that such Borrower Materials shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16, to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute information subject to the terms thereof), (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

Section 9.18   Release of Liens and Guarantees.   

(a)   The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released: (i) in full upon the occurrence of the Termination Date as set forth in Section 9.18(d) below; (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral by any Loan Party to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent that such Collateral comprises property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or clause (b) below (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (vi) as provided in Section 8.11 (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), and (vii) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release (other than pursuant to clause (i) above) shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(b)   In addition, (i) the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be automatically released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary Loan Party or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry),

F-118

(ii) [reserved] and (iii) immediately prior to the incurrence of an Original Content Financing pursuant to Section 6.01(h), the Guarantee incurred by Redbox Entertainment and any of its Subsidiaries of the Obligations shall automatically terminate and Redbox Entertainment and its Subsidiaries shall be released from their obligations under the Loan Documents, shall cease to be Loan Parties and any Liens created by any Loan Documents on any assets or Equity Interests owned by Redbox Entertainment and its Subsidiaries shall automatically be released; provided that (i) upon the termination of an Original Content Financing, Redbox Entertainment shall be joined as a Guarantor in accordance with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and (ii) the release of Redbox Entertainment and any of its Subsidiaries shall only be permitted if at the time of such release the aggregate outstanding amount of cash Investments (valued at the time of making thereof, and without giving effect to any write downs or write offs thereof) made in Redbox Entertainment does not exceed $5,000,000.

(c)   The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18 and to return to the Borrower all possessory collateral (including share certificates (if any)) held by it in respect of any Collateral so released, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender or any other Secured Party. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, on the Termination Date, all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral under the Loan Documents and all obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties under any Loan Documents (other than such obligations that survive the Termination Date pursuant to the terms hereof) shall, in each case, be automatically released and, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to evidence the release its security interest in all Collateral granted to it pursuant to the Loan Documents (including returning to the Borrower all possessory collateral (including share certificates (if any)) held by it pursuant to the Loan Documents in respect of any Collateral so released), and to evidence the release of all obligations under any Loan Document (other than such obligations that survive the Termination Date pursuant to the terms hereof), whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements and (ii) contingent indemnification obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Any such release of obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (and their respective representatives) in connection with taking such actions to release security interest in all Collateral and all obligations under the Loan Documents as contemplated by this Section 9.18(d).

(e)   Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Secured Hedge Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Secured Hedge Agreements) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement. For

F-119

the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements.

Section 9.19   Judgment Currency.   If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 9.20   USA PATRIOT Act Notice.   Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.21   [Reserved].

Section 9.22   Agency of the Borrower for the Loan Parties.   Each of the other Loan Parties hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto.

Section 9.23   [Reserved].

Section 9.24   Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions(a)      . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)   the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)   the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)   a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)   a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)   the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Civ. Code § 1542, which provides:

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

2.4   Discovery of Additional Facts.   Each Party (on behalf of itself and its respective Mutual Release Parties) acknowledges that it may discover or learn facts in addition to or different from those now known or believed to be true with respect to the subject matter of the releases, but acknowledges that it is its intention to fully, finally, and forever settle, release, and discharge any and all Claims hereby known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which do or do not exist, or heretofore existed, and without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such additional or different facts.

2.5   Litigation Related to This Release.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent any Mutual Release Party is named as a defendant in any litigation or other proceeding related to the subject matter of the releases, the foregoing provisions shall not limit any defense such Mutual Release Party may raise in such litigation or other proceeding.

2.6   Third Party Beneficiaries.   Each of the Mutual Release Parties is and is intended to be an express third party beneficiary of all of the provisions of this Release Agreement and shall have the right, exercisable in its discretion, to enforce the terms and conditions of this Release Agreement against the other Mutual Release Parties, as applicable, or prevent the breach thereof, or to exercise any other right, or seek any other remedy, which may be available to it as a third-party beneficiary of this Release Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

4.1   Survival.   The agreements set forth in Article II and this Article IV shall survive indefinitely.

4.2   Counterparts; Effectiveness.   This Release Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be one and the same agreement.

In any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the Parties expressly waive the defenses of improper venue, lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens, and any right to a trial by jury

4.6   Remedies.   Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party contemplated by this Release Agreement are unique, and that any breach of this Release Agreement by it or any of the Mutual Release Parties would result in irreparable harm to the other Parties, and that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any such breach.

equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Release Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Release Agreement without proof of actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy, in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 4.4, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Parties to cause the other Parties to cause the actions contemplated hereby to be performed on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Release Agreement.

(5)   Each Existing Lender (as defined below) who executes and delivers this Agreement as an Existing Lender hereby consents to the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth herein.

(6)   Each Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender who executes and delivers this Agreement as a Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender agrees to provide a Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitment on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date to the Borrower in the amount set forth across from such Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender’s name on Schedule 1 hereto.

(7)   The Administrative Agent, Holdings, the Borrower, the Existing Lenders party hereto (which Existing Lenders constitute all Lenders (for this purpose only, as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to giving effect to the effectiveness of this Agreement) and each Subordinated Lender desire to memorialize the terms of this Agreement and make certain other changes set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) by amending, in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth below, such amendment to become effective on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.   Defined Terms.   Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, as used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified:

“Existing Lender” shall mean each Lender party to the Existing Credit Agreement on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect to the effectiveness of this Agreement).

“Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender” shall mean each Lender with a Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitment on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date and party to this Agreement as an “Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender”.

“Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments” shall mean, with respect to each Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender, the commitment of such Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender to make Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01(g) of the Amended Credit Agreement, as such commitment may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10(b) of the Amended Credit Agreement and (b) reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender under Section 9.04. The amount of each Lender’s Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitment as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date is set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.

The limited waiver in this Section 3 shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purposes set forth herein and does not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, which terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement is limited in nature and nothing contained herein is intended or shall be deemed or construed (i) to constitute a waiver of any future compliance with any term or provision of any Loan Document or applicable law or (ii) to establish a custom or course of dealing between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, on the other hand.

SECTION 4.   Amendment.   On the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, each Existing Lender party hereto (which Existing Lenders constitute all of the Existing Lenders as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) hereby consents to the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms contemplated hereunder. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 8 below, effective as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement to delete the bold, stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the bold, double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement attached as Annex A hereto (the Existing Credit Agreement, as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 15.   Governing Law; Etc.

Nothing implied in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as a borrower, guarantor or pledgor under any of the Loan Documents.

Each such written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)   whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Term B Loans, Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans or, Revolving Facility Loans or Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable;

(ii)   the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(iii)   the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day (the “Borrowing Date”);

(vi)   the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

If no election as to the currency of any Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, then the requested Borrowing shall be made in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Section 2.04   [Reserved].

Section 2.05   [Reserved].

Section 2.06   Funding of Borrowings.   (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by

I-47

notice to the Lenders. Upon receipt of all funds requested in the applicable Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account or accounts designated by the Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) (b) The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make a Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Loan on behalf of the Lenders. In such event, the applicable Lenders on behalf of whom the Administrative Agent made the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Loan shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to each applicable Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Loan for the period from and including the date on which such Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Loan was made on such Lender’s behalf to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Loan by such Lender shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

Section 2.07   Interest Elections.

(a) .(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)   To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by hand delivery or electronic means an Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

(c)   Each written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)   the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each

I-48

resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)   the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)   whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv)   if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall be in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and satisfy the limitations specified in Section 2.02(c) regarding the maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type.

(d)   Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)   If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, each Class of Term Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall have the same Interest Period.

Section 2.08   Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) . (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. On the Closing Date (after giving effect to the funding of the Term B Loans made on such date), the Term B Loan Commitments of each Lender as of the Closing Date were terminated. On the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date (after giving effect to the funding of the Incremental Term B-1 Loans to be made on such date), the Term B-1 Loan Commitments of each Lender as of the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date were terminated. On the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date (after giving effect to the funding of the Incremental Term B-2 Loans to be made on such date), the Term B-2 Loan Commitments of each Lender as of the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date will terminate. On the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the Revolving Facility Commitments of each Lender as of the Closing Date were terminated. Unless previously terminated, the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

(b) (a) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Sixth

I-49

Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments.

(c) (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination or reduction of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(d)    In the event that all or any portion of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans are for any reason repaid or prepaid or accelerated with a corresponding dollar-for-dollar permanent termination or reduction in the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments (the “Specified Revolver Repayment/​Commitment Reduction”), such Specified Revolver Repayment/Commitment Reduction will include payment of a premium equal to the Applicable Revolver Make-Whole Amount on the amount of such Specified Revolver Repayment/Commitment Reduction as of the date of such of such Specified Revolver Repayment/Commitment Reduction (the foregoing premium, the “Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Reduction/Termination Premium”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Reduction/Termination Premium shall not apply to (1) any Specified Revolver Repayment/Commitment Reduction on or prior to the Signing Deadline Date and (2) any termination of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Commitments in full upon the consummation of the Company Sale occurring on or prior to the Company Sale Outside Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if any Specified Revolver Repayment/Commitment Reduction occurs prior to April 20, 2024 in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Reduction/Termination Premium applicable with respect to a voluntary termination or reduction of such Specified Revolver Repayment/Commitment Reduction will be due and payable on the date of such termination or reduction as though the applicable Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and such Specified Revolver Repayment/​Commitment Reduction was voluntarily terminated or reduced as of such date and shall constitute part of the Loan Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early prepayment and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE SIXTH AMENDMENT INCREMENTAL REVOLVING REDUCTION/TERMINATION PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH SPECIFIED REVOLVER REPAYMENT/​COMMITMENT REDUCTION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Reduction/Termination Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Reduction/Termination Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Reduction/Termination Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.

(c) (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided further, that if such accounts are inconsistent with the Register, the Register shall prevail.

(e)(d) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Lender, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

Section 2.10   Repayment of Term Loans, Revolving Facility Commitments and Revolving Facility Loans.

I-51

reoffered to the non-Declining Lenders on a pro rata basis and, if such Lenders elect to decline such amounts retained by the Borrower for application for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement, and

(ii)   any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated (i) first, among the Term B Loans and the Term B-1 Loans, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term B Loans and Term B-1 Loans, until the Senior Obligations have been Paid in Full, and (ii) thereafter, to the Term B-2 Loans.

(d) (c) Any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or (c) shall be applied so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated (i) first, among the Term B Loans and the Term B-1 Loans, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term B Loans and Term B-1 Loans, until the Senior Obligations have been Paid in Full and (ii) thereafter to the Term B-2 Loans.

Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and, (y) in the case of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (z) in all other cases, shall be applied (i) first, among the Term B Loans and the Term B-1 Loans, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term B Loans and Term B-1 Loans, until the Senior Obligations have been Paid in Full and (ii) thereafter, to the Term B-2 Loans.

(b)   The Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds and Extraordinary Receipts promptly upon receipt thereof (but in no event later than five Business Days after receipt thereof) to prepay TermLoans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) of Section 2.10. The Borrower shall cause all proceeds of the Company Sale to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(d).

(c)   Not later than 5 Business Days after the date on which the financial statements are, or are required to be, delivered under Section 5.04(b)(i) or Section 5.04(b)(ii), as applicable with respect to each Excess Cash Flow Period, the Borrower shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period and the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to (i) the Required Excess Cash Flow Amount minus (ii) to the extent not financed using the proceeds of the incurrence of funded Indebtedness, the sum of the amount of any voluntary payments made during such Excess Cash Flow Period (plus, without duplication of any amounts previously deducted under this clause (c), the amount of any voluntary payments after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period but before the date of prepayment under this clause (c)) of Term Loans, to prepay Term Loans in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) of Section 2.10, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fifth Amendment Prepayment shall not reduce Excess Cash Flow or the amount of the prepayment required under this Section 2.11(c) for the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period(s).

I-52

calculation will be set forth in a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount, if any, of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal quarter, the amount of any required prepayment in respect thereof and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail.

(d)   Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.11 to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, Extraordinary Receipts received by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow attributable to a Foreign Subsidiary would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) but is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States of America, the portion of such Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States of America, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c), to the extent provided therein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent that repatriation of any or all of such Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow that would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Subsidiary to promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions within the reasonable control of the Borrower that are reasonably required to eliminate such tax effects).

(e)   In the event that the aggregate amount of Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the total Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (other than as a result of the payment of PIK Interest), the Borrower shall prepay the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Facility Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(f)   In the event that all or any portion of the Term B Loans are repaid or prepaid for any reason (including as a result of any mandatory prepayments, voluntary prepayments, payments made following acceleration of the Loans or during the continuation of an Event of Default, but excluding payments of the purchase price in connection with an assignment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.19(c)) during the term of this Agreement, such repayments or prepayments will includebe made together with a premium equal to (A) 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loansthe Applicable Make-Whole Amount on the amount repaid or prepaid, ifas of the date of such repayment or prepayment occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (B) 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans repaid or prepaid, if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and (D) 0.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans repaid or prepaid, if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the foregoing premiums, the “Term B Loan Prepayment Premium”). In the event that all or any portion of the Term B-1 Loans are repaid or prepaid for any reason (including as a result of any mandatory prepayments, voluntary prepayments, payments made following acceleration of the Loans or during the continuation of an Event of Default, but excluding payments of the purchase price in connection with an assignment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.19(c)), during the term of this Agreement, such repayments or prepayments will includebe made together with a premium equal to (A) 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-1 Loansthe Applicable Make-Whole Amount on the amount repaid or prepaid, ifas of the date of such repayment or prepayment occurs prior to the first anniversary of the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date, (B) 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans repaid or prepaid, if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or after the first anniversary of the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date but prior to the second anniversary of the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date, and (D) 0.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans repaid or prepaid, if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary of the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date (the foregoing premiums, the “Term B-1 Loan Prepayment Premium”). In the event that all or any portion of the Revolving Facility Loans are repaid or prepaid for any reason (including as a

I-53

result of any mandatory prepayments, voluntary prepayments, payments made following acceleration of the Loans or during the continuation of an Event of Default, but excluding payments of the purchase price in connection with an assignment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.19(c)) during the term of this Agreement, such repayments or prepayments will be made together with a premium equal to the Applicable Make-Whole Amount on the amount repaid or prepaid as of the date of such repayment or prepayment (the foregoing premiums, the “Revolving Facility Loan Prepayment Premium” and, together with the Term B Loan Prepayment Premium and the Term B-1 Loan Prepayment Premium, collectively, the “Prepayment Premium”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Prepayment Premium shall not apply to (1) scheduled amortization installment payments made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or Section 2.10(a)(ii), as applicable, (2) mandatory prepayments made by the Borrower of (i) Net Proceeds of the type specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Net Proceeds”, (ii) Extraordinary Receipts and (iii) any Cure Amount, in each case, pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), (3) mandatory prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(c) and (4) voluntary prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(a) that are funded solely by internally generated cash from the business operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (2) any repayment or prepayment of the Term B Loans, the Term B-1 Loans and the Revolving Facility Loans in full on or prior to the Signing Deadline Date and (3) any repayment or prepayment of the Term B Loans, the Term B-1 Loans and the Revolving Facility Loans in full from the proceeds of a Company Sale occurring on or prior to the Company Sale Outside Date. If the Term B Loans or, Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Facility Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the amount of principal of and premium on the Term B Loans or, Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Facility Loans that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Term B Loans or, Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration or such other due date, as if such acceleration or other occurrence were a voluntary prepayment of the Term B Loans or, Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Facility Loans , as applicable, accelerated or otherwise becoming due. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Term B Loans or, Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Facility Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium applicable with respect to a voluntary prepayment of the Term B Loans or, Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, will also be due and payable on the date of such acceleration or such other due date as though the Term B Loans or, Term B-1 Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Loan Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early prepayment and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.

(e)   All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)   In each case, subject to the Subordination Terms and Section 7.02:

I-55

(i)   With respect to each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to July 29, 2021, the Borrower may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Loans on such Interest Payment Date (A) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”), (B) entirely by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (“PIK Interest”) or (C) a portion as Cash Interest and a portion as PIK Interest. The Borrower must elect the form of interest payment with respect to each Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to July 29, 2021 by delivering a notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date; provided that in the absence of such election, interest on the Loans shall be payable as PIK Interest.

Section 2.14   Alternate Rate of Interest.   If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a)   the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)   the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders in writing by electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on

I-56

the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower, Required Lenders or Required Revolving Facility Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower, Required Lenders or Required Revolving Facility Lenders (as applicable) have determined, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing, that (i) the circumstance set forth in Section 2.14(a) above has arisen and such circumstance is unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstance set forth in Section 2.14(a) has not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate, or the administrator of the LIBO Rate, or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be published or used for determining interest rates for loans, then (A) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reasonably determine that there exists a then prevailing market convention generally accepted for determining a reference rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States of America as the successor to interest rates based on the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) (and any such amendment described in this clause (A) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08, immediately become effective), or (B) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower are unable to reasonably determine that a then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States of America as the successor to interest rates based on the LIBO Rate does exist, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect an alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), in each case that are acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and any such amendment described in this clause (B) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08, become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Facility Lenders (each acting reasonably) have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice that such Required Lenders or Required Revolving Facility Lenders, as applicable, do not accept such amendment) (any such alternate rate described in the foregoing clauses (A) or (B), a “LIBOR Successor Rate”); provided that, (x) if such LIBOR Successor Rate as so determined would be less than 1%, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be deemed to be 1% for all purposes of this Agreement and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, no fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14. If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) or (ii) above exist (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and, thereafter (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the ABR and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.15   Increased Costs.   (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)   impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii)   subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to any Loan Document (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.17 or (ii) Excluded Taxes); or

(iii)   impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;

I-57

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)   If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)   A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that any such certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of “Change in Law” shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)   Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16   Break Funding Payments.   In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow (other than due to the default of the relevant Lender), convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

I-58

Section 2.17   Taxes.

(a) . (a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of a Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes except as required by Requirements of Law. If a Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the applicable withholding agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by a Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of a Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, acting reasonably) received by the Loan Party showing payment thereof. Without duplication, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Requirements of Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(b) (a) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) (b) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) (c) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding of Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, any such withholding of Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17 (e)(i)(A), (i)(B), (i)(C), (ii), (iii) and (iv)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

I-59

(i)   each Foreign Lender with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the date on which the first payment to the Foreign Lender is due hereunder, two copies of (A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or any applicable successor form) (together with a certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, such certificate, the “Non-Bank Tax Certificate”) certifying that such Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a “10-percent shareholder” ​(within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a CFC related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and that the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business within the United States of America), (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement, (C) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (A) and (B) above, provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership, and one or more of the partners is claiming portfolio interest treatment, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such partners) or (D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

(iii)   such Lender or such Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrower, two further copies of such documentation.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update and provide two further copies of such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Each person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 9.04 or a Lender pursuant to Section 9.04 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 2.17(e); provided that a Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the person from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(f)(e) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of an Indemnified Tax for which a payment has been made by a Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Loan Party, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Loan Party for such amount (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any Taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the Indemnified Tax giving rise to such refund had not been imposed in the first instance; provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event the Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. No Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 2.17.

(g)(f) [Reserved].

(h)(g) The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document.

Section 2.18   Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.   (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, premiums, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set -off or counterclaim.

All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments made under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment

I-61

in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b)   Subject to Section 7.02, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and premium (including the Prepayment Premium) then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and premium (including the Prepayment Premium) then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)   If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Term Loans of a given Class or Revolving Facility Loans or Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans of such Class and such Revolving Facility Loans or Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled to receive the same proportion of such payment, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase participations in the Term Loans of such Class and such Revolving Facility Loans or Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans of such other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the principal amount of each such Lender’s respective Term Loans of such Class and such Revolving Facility Loans or Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans and accrued interest thereon; provided, that the provisions of this clause (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)   If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.06 or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f)   Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, (i) the equity issuance by Outerwall Holdings Inc. contemplated by Schedule 2 to the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement shall be made solely to those Lenders party to the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date and shall not be made to any an Incremental Term B-2 Lender and (ii) the Fifth Amendment Prepayment shall be applied solely to the Term B Loans and the Term B-1 Loans and not to the Term B-2 Loans.

Section 2.19   Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant

I-62

to Section 2.17 or any event that gives rise to the operation of Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17 or mitigate the applicability of Section 2.20, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) (a) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.20, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require any such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the extent consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. No action by or consent of the removed Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such removed Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04, provided, that if such removed Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

(c) (b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender “) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to (and any such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Borrower’s request) assign its Loans and its Commitments (or, at the Borrower’s option, the Loans and Commitments under the Facility that is the subject of the proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination) hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (unless such assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund); provided, that: (a) all Loan Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (c) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within one Business Day after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.20   Illegality.   If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for

I-63

any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

Section 2.21   Incremental Term Loan Commitments.   (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount; provided that (A) the Borrower shall first seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments from the existing Lenders, (B) any existing Lender approached to provide any Incremental Term Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, (C) if the existing Lenders decline to provide the full amount of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments, the Borrower may then seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments on the same terms from other persons and (D) any person that the Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Term Lender, if such person is not then an existing Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, that the foregoing requirements shall not apply to any Term B-2 Loans (including the Incremental Term B-2 Loans). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are requested to become effective. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans established and incurred after the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date shall be in the form of additional Term B-2 Loans with terms identical to the existing Term B-2 Loans.

(b)   The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans shall be governed by this Agreement unless otherwise provided in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement. The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender.

Each party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.08(e). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Loan Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in clause (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower; (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assure that the Incremental Term Loans are secured by the Collateral ratably with the Term B Loans, the Term B-1 Loans and the Term B-2 Loans, (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the making of Incremental Term

I-64

Loans thereunder and the transactions to be made on the date of effectiveness thereof and assuming that all applicable Incremental Term Loan Commitments are fully drawn, the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance for the Test Period most recently ended (it being understood and agreed that proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans incurred at such time shall not be netted against the applicable amount of Consolidated Debt for purposes of such calculation of the Net Total Leverage Ratio at such time), (iv) the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be used solely to finance Permitted Business Acquisitions, Investments (so long as the consideration for such Investment constitutes Collateral) and capital expenditures in each case in accordance with this Agreement and (v) any fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Term Loans owed to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders hereunder or under the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement shall have been paid; provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (c)(i) through (c)(v) shall not be applicable with respect to (x) the Term B-1 Loan Commitments made on the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date, the terms and conditions with respect to which are set forth in the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement or (y) the Term B-2 Loan Commitments made on or after the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date, the terms and conditions with respect to which are set forth in the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement (or, in the case of Term B-2 Loan Commitments established after the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date, the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement).

(d)   Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the outstanding applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

(e)   Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) for the purpose of determining the number of outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowings upon the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans, to the extent the last date of Interest Periods for multiple Eurocurrency Borrowings under the Term Facilities fall on the same day, such Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be considered a single Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) the initial Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans may, at the Borrower’s option, be of a duration of a number of Business Days that is less than one month, and the Adjusted LIBO Rate with respect to such initial Interest Period shall be the same as the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to any then-outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing as the Borrower may direct, so long as the last day of such initial Interest Period is the same as the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing.

(f)   Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Term B-1 Loan Commitments made on the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date shall be permitted to be incurred hereunder pursuant to the terms of the First Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement.

(g)   Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Term B-2 Loan Commitments made on or after the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date shall be permitted to be incurred hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement (or, in the case of Term B-2 Loan Commitments established after the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date, the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement) and this Section 2.21.

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be permitted to request additional Incremental Term Loan Commitments after the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date other than Term B-2 Loan Commitments (i) with identical pricing and terms as the Incremental Term B-2 Commitments established on the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement Effective Date, (ii) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000, (iii) provided by an Incremental Term B-2 Lender and (iv) subject to the Subordination Terms..

Section 2.22   Defaulting Lender.   (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

I-65

(i)   Waivers and Amendments.   Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Facility Lenders.”

(ii)   Defaulting Lender Waterfall.   Any payment of principal, interest, fees, premiums or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)   Certain Fees.   No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)   Defaulting Lender Cure.   If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans or Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

Section 8.01   Appointment.   (a) Each Lender and, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and Guarantees under the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank party to a Secured Hedge Agreement hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Collateral Agent as the agent for such Lender and the other Secured Parties under the Security Documents, and each such Lender and Hedge Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in such capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s behalf. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Hedge Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents.

(b)   In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender and, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and Guarantees under the Loan Documents, each Hedge Bank party to a Secured Hedge Agreement hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Hedge Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, Section 8.07) and Article IX (including, without limitation, Section 9.05) as

I-106

though the Collateral Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 8.02   Delegation of Duties.   The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their respective duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Each Agent may also from time to time, when it deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by an Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by such Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects with reasonable care.

Section 8.03   Exculpatory Provisions.   None of the Agents, or their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation under Section 7.01(l)) or any other Loan Document, except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) no Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. No Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 7.02, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guarantee or

I-107

any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank.

Section 8.04   Reliance by Agents.   Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Borrowing, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to such Borrowing. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 8.05   Notice of Default.   Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.06   Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.   Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of, the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the

I-108

business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 8.07   Indemnification.   The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and, in the case of the indemnification of each Agent, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments hereunder; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.08   Agent in Its Individual Capacity.   Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 8.09   Successor Administrative Agent.   The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Borrower shall have the right (so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Required Lenders shall have the sole right), subject to the reasonable consent of the Required Lenders, to appoint a successor which shall have an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such successor with an office in the United States, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective (except in the case of the Collateral Agent holding collateral security on behalf of such Secured Parties, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed), and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as provided above) appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.10   Credit Bidding.   The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (which governance documents shall not treat any Secured Party in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to the other Secured Parties without its consent), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, and shall issue to each of the Secured Parties, in each case, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Section 8.11   Security Documents and Collateral Agent.   The Lenders and the other Secured Parties authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Collateral or Guarantors in accordance with Section 9.18 or if approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 9.08.

The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (i) or (mm) of Section 6.02 or Section 6.02(a) (if the Liens thereunder are of a type that is contemplated by any of the foregoing clauses) in each case to the extent the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Liens on such property or (ii) that is or becomes Excluded Property; and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall do so upon request of the Borrower; provided, that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying (x) that such Lien is permitted under this Agreement, (y) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence, that the contract or agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted prohibits any other Lien on such property and (z) in the case of a request pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence, that (A) such property is or has become Excluded Property and (B) if such property has become Excluded Property as a result of a contractual restriction, such restriction does not violate Section 6.09(c).

Section 8.12   Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantees.   In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or

I-110

other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (ii) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, either of the Agents or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other Disposition.

Section 8.13   Withholding Tax.   To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, fines, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.13.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 9.04 (except to the extent such participation is not permitted by such clause (d) of this Section 9.04, in which case such assignment or transfer shall be null and void).

(iv)   The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and interest amounts on) the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice; provided, that no Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to, or be otherwise permitted to review, any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender.

(c)(b) [Reserved].

(d) (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations in Loans and Commitments to one or more banks or other entities other than any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that both (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly adversely affects such Participant (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any waiver of any Default or Event of Default) and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to clause (d)(iii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections and Section 2.19) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)   Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and interest amounts on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each party hereto shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Without limitation of the requirements of Section 9.04(d), no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other Loan Obligations under any Loan Document), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Loan Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or is otherwise required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(iii)   A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, which consent shall state that it is being given pursuant to this Section 9.04(d)(iii); provided, that each potential Participant shall provide such information as is reasonably requested by the Borrower in order for the Borrower to determine whether to provide its consent.

I-115

(e)(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in clause (e) above.

(g)(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(h) (g) [Reserved].

(i)(h) [Reserved].

(j)(i) [Reserved].

(k) (j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, if necessary, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction, and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for all such persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or

(b) (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates, successors and assignors, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and members (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (excluding the allocated costs of in house counsel and limited to not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel with, in the case of any Lender, the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any violation of or liability under Environmental Laws to the extent relating in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of or exposure to Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (y) arose from a material breach of such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ obligations under any Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment) or (z) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent in its capacity as such). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to the Fund, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the Facilities or the Transactions.

Section 9.06   Right of Set-off.   If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Section 9.08   Waivers; Amendment.

(a) . (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.14 or Section 2.21 (in respect of Term B-2 Loan Commitments permitted to be established pursuant to Section 2.21), (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or, (A) in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 4.01 or 2.10(b) after the Closing Date, the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, rather than the Required Lenders, or (B) in respect of any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 2.11(b) or (c), the Required Prepayment Lenders, rather than the Required Lenders), and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to

I-118

an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Loan Party party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i)

decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that any amendment to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

(ii)

increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender, or decrease the Commitment Fees or any other Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification); provided, that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default, mandatory prepayments or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitments of any Lender for purposes of this clause (ii),

(iii)

extend or waive any Term Loan Installment Date or reduce the amount due on any Term Loan Installment Date or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(iv)

amend the provisions of Section 7.02 or Section 2.18(c) with respect to the pro rata application of payments required thereby in a manner that by its terms modifies the application of such payments required thereby to be on a less than pro rata basis, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (which, notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent of such Lender directly adversely affected thereby shall be the only consent required hereunder to make such modification),

(v)

amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders,” “Required Prepayment Lenders,” “Required Revolving Facility Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, in each case except, for the avoidance of doubt, as otherwise provided in Section 9.08(d) and (e) (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

(vi)

release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their respective Guarantees under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Loan Party, all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender other than a Defaulting Lender,

(vii)

effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in another Facility, without the consent of the Majority Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility except, for the avoidance of doubt, as otherwise provided in Section 9.08(d) and (e) (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed);

I-119

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any Assignee of such Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be affected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(c) (b) Without the consent of any Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document.

(d) (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower (a) to permit additional extensions of credit to be outstanding hereunder from time to time and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and, the Revolving Facility Loans and the Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the holders of such extensions of credit in any determination of the requisite lenders required hereunder, including Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and the Required Revolving Facility Lenders.

(e) (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent necessary (A) to integrate any Term B-2 Loan Commitments in a manner consistent with the Fourth Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement, (B) to effect an alternate interest rate in a manner consistent with Section 2.14 or (C) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency.

(f) (e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be necessary to ensure that all Term Loans established pursuant to Section 2.21 after the Closing Date that will be included in an existing Class of Term Loans outstanding on such date (an “Applicable Date”), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class (the “Existing Class Loans”), on a pro rata basis, and/or to ensure that, immediately after giving effect to such new Term Loans (the “New Class Loans” and, together with the Existing Class Loans, the “Class Loans”), each Lender holding Class Loans will be deemed to hold its Pro Rata Share of each Class Loan on the Applicable Date (but without changing the amount of any such Lender’s Term Loans), and each such Lender shall be deemed to have effectuated such assignments as shall be required to ensure the foregoing. The “Pro Rata Share” of any Lender on the Applicable Date is the ratio of (1) the sum of such Lender’s Existing Class Loans immediately prior to the Applicable Date plus the amount of New Class Loans made by such Lender on the Applicable Date over (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Class Loans on the Applicable Date.

I-120

(g) (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended, waived or otherwise modified with the written consent of the Required Revolving Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower with respect to (i) the provisions of Section 4.01, solely as they relate to the Revolving Facility Loans,or Sixth Amendment Incremental Revolving Loans and (ii) the provisions of Section 2.10(b).

(h) (g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Affiliate Lender:

(1)   hereby agrees that in connection with any (i) consent (or decision not to consent) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document, (ii) other action on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) direction to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, such Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders, in each case, except with respect to (other than with respect to any consent, action or direction made in connection with consummating or giving effect to any Approved Transaction) any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action (x) described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso of Section 9.08(b) or (y) that adversely affects such Affiliate Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to other Lenders (it being understood and agreed that with respect to any consent, action or direction made in connection with consummating or giving effect to any Approved Transaction, such Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders);

(2)   if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliate Lender, hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliate Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliate Lender in the same proportion as the vote of Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders on the relevant matter, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliate Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliate Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it in the same proportion as the vote of Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders on the relevant matter; provided that (x) such Affiliate Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) and (y) the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to vote on behalf of such Affiliate Lender, in each case, in connection with any matter to the extent that any such matter proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliate Lender in a manner that is different in an adverse way than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders.;

(3)   will not be entitled to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited, (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive Continuation Notices and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II) or (C) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent under the Loan Documents; and

(4)   shall not have any right to receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to Lenders other than Affiliate Lenders or to challenge the Lenders’ attorney-client privilege in its capacity as a Lender.

Each Affiliate Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliate Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliate Lender and in the name of such Affiliate Lender, from time to time in the Administrative

I-121

Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 9.08(h).

Section 9.09   Interest Rate Limitation.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10   Entire Agreement.   This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.   EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12   Severability.   In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13   Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.

Section 9.14   Headings.   Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.15   Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.   (a) The Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, or any Affiliate of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the

I-122

jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)   Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)   Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.17   Platform; Borrower Materials.   The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information (or, if Holdings is not at the time a public reporting company, material information of a type that would not reasonably be expected to be publicly available if Holdings was a public reporting company) with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).

I-123

The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as solely containing information that is either (A) publicly available information or (B) not material (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that such Borrower Materials shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16, to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute information subject to the terms thereof), (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

Section 9.18   Release of Liens and Guarantees.   

(a)   The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released: (i) in full upon the occurrence of the Termination Date as set forth in Section 9.18(d) below; (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral by any Loan Party to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent that such Collateral comprises property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.08), (v) to the extent that the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the Holdings Guarantee Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement or clause (b) below (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (vi) as provided in Section 8.11 (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), and (vii) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release (other than pursuant to clause (i) above) shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(b)   In addition, (i) the Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be automatically released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction not prohibited hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary Loan Party or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (ii) [reserved] and (iii) immediately prior to the incurrence of an Original Content Financing pursuant to Section 6.01(h), the Guarantee incurred by Redbox Entertainment and any of its Subsidiaries of the Obligations shall automatically terminate and Redbox Entertainment and its Subsidiaries shall be released from their obligations under the Loan Documents, shall cease to be Loan Parties and any Liens created by any Loan Documents on any assets or Equity Interests owned by Redbox Entertainment and its Subsidiaries shall automatically be released; provided that (i) upon the termination of an Original Content Financing, Redbox Entertainment shall be joined as a Guarantor in accordance with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and (ii) the release of Redbox Entertainment and any of its Subsidiaries shall only be permitted if at the time of such release the aggregate outstanding amount of cash Investments (valued at

I-124

the time of making thereof, and without giving effect to any write downs or write offs thereof) made in Redbox Entertainment does not exceed $5,000,000.

(c)   The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.18 and to return to Holdings or the Borrower all possessory collateral (including share certificates (if any)) held by it in respect of any Collateral so released, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender or any other Secured Party. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to be made. In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, on the Termination Date, all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral under the Loan Documents and all obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties under any Loan Documents (other than such obligations that survive the Termination Date pursuant to the terms hereof) shall, in each case, be automatically released and, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to evidence the release its security interest in all Collateral granted to it pursuant to the Loan Documents (including returning to Holdings or the Borrower all possessory collateral (including share certificates (if any)) held by it pursuant to the Loan Documents in respect of any Collateral so released), and to evidence the release of all obligations under any Loan Document (other than such obligations that survive the Termination Date pursuant to the terms hereof), whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements and (ii) contingent indemnification obligations or expense reimburse claims not then due; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower containing such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Any such release of obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (and their respective representatives) in connection with taking such actions to release security interest in all Collateral and all obligations under the Loan Documents as contemplated by this Section 9.18(d).

(e)   Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Secured Hedge Agreement (after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such Secured Hedge Agreements) shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Security Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements.

Section 9.19   Judgment Currency.   If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents

I-125

shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “ Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

Section 9.20   USA PATRIOT Act Notice.   Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.21   [Reserved].

Section 9.22   Agency of the Borrower for the Loan Parties.   Each of the other Loan Parties hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto.

Section 9.23   [Reserved].

Section 9.24   Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)   the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)   the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)   a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)   a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)   the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 9.25   Subordination Terms.

(a)   The provisions of this Section 9.25 are the “Subordination Terms”.

(b)   All Term B-2 Loans and all other Subordinated Obligations are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Obligations, such that the holders of the Senior Obligations (each such holder, a “Senior Lender”) shall be entitled to receive Payment in Full of the amounts constituting the Senior Obligations that

I-126

are due and payable before any holder from time to time of Subordinated Obligations (together with its successors, transferees and assigns, each a “Subordinated Lender”) is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations and, in connection therewith, unless and until the principal of, premium, and interest on, and all other amounts that are due and payable in respect of, all Senior Obligations shall have been Paid in Full:

(i)   no payment on account of the principal of, premium, or interest on, or any other amount in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness (and no payment on account of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness) shall be made by or on behalf of any Loan Party; and

(ii)   no Subordinated Lender shall (A) ask, demand, sue for, accelerate or take or receive from any Loan Party, by set-off or in any other manner, any payment on account of the principal of, premium, or interest on, or any other amount in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness or (B) seek any other remedy allowed at law or in equity (including instituting any insolvency proceeding) against any Loan Party for breach of such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder or thereunder;

provided that, (1) the Loan Parties may make, and each Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive and retain from time to time, regularly scheduled payments of Interest on the Term B-2 Loans due and payable on a non-accelerated basis and required to be paid in cash in accordance with this Agreement, so long as (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) in the case of the payment of Cash Interest on the Term B-2 Loans, the Senior Lenders shall have received in cash all interest then due and payable on the Senior Obligations (which shall include for purposes of this provision payment in cash of all interest previously paid on the Senior Obligations in the form of PIK Interest (any such payment, a “Catch-Up Cash Interest Payment”)); provided, further, that (i) each Catch-Up Cash Interest Payment shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment of the Senior Obligations and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Obligations shall be automatically reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the previously paid PIK Interest payment related to such Catch-Up Cash Interest Payment and (ii) if on any Interest Payment Date the Subordinated Lenders are not entitled to receive payment of Cash Interest on the Term B-2 Loans, Interest on the Term B-2 Loans shall be payable as PIK Interest; and (2) in the case of a Company Sale pursuant to Section 5.15, each Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive the payments or distributions allocated to it under the Approved Transaction.

(c)   Prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations, if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in respect of the Subordinated Obligations shall be received by a Subordinated Lender in contravention of these Subordination Terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the Administrative Agent for distribution to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, ratably according to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.

(d)   These Subordination Terms shall not be affected by (i) any amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to any Loan Document, (ii) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) any waiver, consent, release, extension, renewal, modification, delay, or other action, inaction or omission in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent these Subordination Terms are expressly amended or modified.

(e) (A)   If in connection with (i) any enforcement action or exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (ii) any agreement between the Senior Lenders and the Borrower or any other Loan Party to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Senior Lenders, in any such case, releases any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, then the obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Debt Documents owing to the Subordination Lenders shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Subordinated Lenders shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such releases and other documents as the Administrative Agent may request to effectively confirm such release. Until all Senior Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, the Subordinated Lenders hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of

I-127

the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Subordinated Lender or in the Administrative Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this clause (e), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this clause (e), including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations.

(B)   Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, in connection with any Approved Transaction, the Subordinated Lenders (1) shall take any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Senior Lenders to consummate and give effect to such Approved Transaction (which actions may include, without limitation, to the extent contemplated by the Approved Transaction, the conversion of the Subordinated Obligations into Equity Interests of any person received as consideration in connection with such Approved Transaction) and (2) hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Subordinated Lender or in the Administrative Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this clause (B) to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this clause (B), including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subordinated Lender shall be required to take any action which would result in any Approved Transaction failing to meet the requirements of Section 1(a)i of the Voting Support Agreement (as in effect as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date). This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations.

(f)   The provisions of these Subordination Terms constitute a continuing agreement and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until this Agreement has been terminated and all Senior Obligations have been Paid in Full, (ii) be binding upon each Subordinated Lender, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto and their respective successors, transferees and assignees, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Senior Lenders. These Subordination Terms are a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other bankruptcy law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding.

(g)   The foregoing provisions are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness on the one hand and the Subordinated Lenders on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as between the Loan Parties and the Subordinated Lenders, the obligations of the Loan Parties, which are unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Subordinated Lenders the principal, interest and other amounts owing on the Subordinated Indebtedness in accordance with the terms hereof. These Subordination Terms shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Senior Indebtedness, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

(h)   These Subordination Terms shall be binding on and enforceable against all Subordinated Lenders (including their assignees and transferees).
