QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT

Why am I being furnished with this Information Statement?

The Exchange Act, the DGCL, and our Bylaws require us to provide you with information regarding the actions taken by written consent of the Majority Stockholders in lieu of a meeting. Your vote is neither required nor requested.

Was stockholder approval of the potential issuance of common stock pursuant to the Warrants and the Contribution Agreement required by the DGCL?

No. In general, there is no requirement under the DGCL that stockholder approval be obtained to issue the Company’s securities. However, stockholder approval of the issuance or potential issuance of our common stock in connection with the transactions described herein is required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) requires listed companies to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company if, due to the present or potential issuance of common stock, including shares issued pursuant to an earn-out provision or similar type of provision, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, other than a public offering for cash: (i) the common stock has or will have upon issuance voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. As discussed more fully below, the Warrants were structured with a share “cap”, in accordance with published Nasdaq guidance. Pursuant to such share cap, all of the warrants were immediately issued following approval of the Company’s board of directors, however, in accordance with its terms, the Class B-III Warrants do not become exercisable until the shareholder approval described in this Information Statement has been obtained.

Why am I not being asked to vote?

Section 228 of the DGCL states that unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by the DGCL to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such 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, shall be signed by the holders of all 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. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation does not prohibit, and the Company’s Bylaws permit, stockholders holding not less than the minimum number of votes required to authorize or take action at a meeting, to authorize or take action through a written consent. The Majority Stockholders, holding approximately 95.02% of our issued and outstanding common stock entitled to vote, executed a written consent dated September 16, 2019 approving the issuance of warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, and the reservation of 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. Such approval is sufficient under the DGCL, and no further approval by our stockholders is required. Therefore, your vote is not required and is not being sought. We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.

What do I need to do now?

Nothing. This Information Statement is furnished to you solely for your information and does not require or request you to do anything.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN

This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Warrants Approval, which will become effective on the date that is 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement to stockholders. We currently expect that such effective date will be on or about November 4, 2019.

Background

On May 14, 2019, the Company consummated (the “Closing”) the creation of a joint venture entity branded “Crackle Plus”, under the terms of the Contribution Agreement. The Contribution Agreement provides, among other things, for the creation of a new streaming video joint venture, for the contribution by CPEH and its affiliates of certain U.S. and Canadian assets of the Crackle branded advertising-based video on demand streaming business to the JV Entity, and for the contribution by the Company and its affiliates of certain assets of their advertising-based and subscription-based video on demand businesses to the JV Entity.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the JV Entity issued to Crackle 37,000 units of preferred equity (“Preferred Units”), and 1,000 units of common equity (“Common Units”) of the JV Entity (collectively, the “Crackle JV Interest”), which are now held by CPEH, and issued to the Company 99,000 Common Units. Additionally, upon Closing the Company issued to CPEH warrants to purchase (a) Eight Hundred Thousand (800,000) shares of the Class A common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $8.13 per share (the “Class I Warrants”), which represents 105% of the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock on March 27, 2019 (“30-day VWAP”), the date the Contribution Agreement was executed; (b) warrants to purchase One Million Two Hundred Thousand (1,200,000) shares of the Class A common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $9.67 per share, which represents 125% of the 30-day VWAP (the “Class II Warrants”); (c) warrants to purchase Three Hundred Eighty Thousand (380,000) shares of the Class A common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $11.61 per share, which represents 150% of the 30-day VWAP (the “Class III-A Warrants”); and (d) warrants to purchase One Million Six Hundred Twenty Thousand (1,620,000) shares of the Class A common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $11.61 per share, which represents 150% of the 30-day VWAP (the “Class III-B Warrants”). All of such warrants have a five-year term commencing on the Closing and are exercisable during such term immediately, except for the Class III-B Warrants, which only will become exercisable upon approval by the vote of the holders of the outstanding common stock of the Company contemplated by this Information Statement, as required by Nasdaq rules. In connection with the Contribution Agreement, affiliates of the Company delivered an irrevocable proxy to vote all of the shares of the Company’s common stock owned by them in favor of the required approval, which culminated in the Warrants Approval described herein. CPEH has registration rights with respect to the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock underlying the warrants.

The foregoing descriptions of the Contribution Agreement, Class I Warrants, Class II Warrants, Class III-A Warrants, and Class III-B Warrants, and the transactions contemplated thereby, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Contribution Agreement, Class I Warrants, Class II Warrants, Class III-A Warrants, and Class III-B Warrants, copies of which are attached as Annex A and Annexes C through F hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. The Contribution Agreement is not intended to provide any factual information about the Company, the JV Entity, CPEH, Crackle, or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Contribution Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties, which were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specified dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Contribution Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Contribution Agreement; are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosure schedules; may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Contribution Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, JV Entity, CPEH, Crackle, or any of their respective

TABLE OF CONTENTS

subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Contribution Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Stockholders Entitled to Receive Notice of Action by Written Consent

Under Section 228 of the DGCL and our Bylaws, (a) any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action consent to such action in writing, and (b) prompt notice of any action so taken by written consent must be provided to all holders of our common stock as of the Record Date.

Nasdaq Listing Requirements and the Necessity of Stockholder Approval

We are subject to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market because our Class A common stock and 9.75% Series A cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of stock or assets of another company if: (a) where, due to the present or potential issuance of common stock, including shares issued pursuant to an earn-out provision or similar type of provision, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, other than a public offering for cash: (i) the common stock has or will have upon issuance voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities; or (b) any director, officer or Substantial Shareholder (as defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(e)(3)) of the Company has a 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the Company or assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid in the transaction or series of related transactions and the present or potential issuance of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, could result in an increase in outstanding common shares or voting power of 5% or more. Pursuant to IM-5635-2 — Interpretative Material Regarding the Use of Share Caps to Comply with Rule 5363, Nasdaq acknowledged that companies sometimes comply with the 20% limitation in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) by placing a “cap” on the number of shares that can be issued in the transaction, such that there cannot, under any circumstances, be an issuance of 20% or more of the common stock or voting power previously outstanding without prior shareholder approval. The Company structured the warrants issued to CPEH under the Contribution Agreement to comply with such a share cap. As a result, warrants to purchase all 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock have been issued in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), however, the exercisability of the Class III-B Warrant is dependent upon receipt of the Warrants Approval described in this Information Statement. Had the Warrants Approval not been obtained, pursuant to the terms of the Class III-B Warrant and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), the Class III-B Warrant would not be exercisable.

If the warrants issued as consideration to CPEH pursuant to the Contribution Agreement are exercised in full, we would be required to issue 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to CPEH or its affiliates, representing approximately 34% of the common stock of the Company outstanding as of the Closing.

The Majority Stockholders have approved the issuance of the warrants and the reservation and issuance of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

Record Date

This information statement is being furnished to holders of record of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on September 16, 2019 in accordance with the requirements of Sections 14(c) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14c-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act. As of September 16, 2019, the Company had 12,073,858 shares of common stock outstanding, consisting of 4,259,920 shares of Class A

TABLE OF CONTENTS

common stock and 7,813,938 shares of Class B common stock. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes. The Company’s shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class and are the only class of securities entitled to vote on the Warrants Approval.

Effective Date

The Warrants Approval shall become effective 20 calendar days following the date that this Information Statement is mailed to our stockholders. Because the Warrants Approval has been duly authorized and approved by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power of our common stock, your vote or consent is not requested or required for the Warrants Approval. This Information Statement is provided solely for your information, under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation 14C. This Information Statement also serves as the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL and Section 2.7 of our Bylaws of the taking of an action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of stockholders.

Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal

Neither Delaware law nor the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with the Warrants Approval. Accordingly, stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.

Please read this Information Statement carefully. It describes the Warrants Approval in detail.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF STOCKHOLDER WRITTEN CONSENT

On September 16, 2019, the Company received a written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock approving the issuance of the Warrants (as defined below) (and the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants) to CPEH.

Reasons for the Warrants Approval

On March 25, 2019, the Company’s board of directors unanimously determined that the Contribution Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby, including the creation of the Crackle Plus joint venture and the issuance of the Company’s warrants as consideration to CPEH and its affiliates, were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In making this determination, the board of directors consulted with senior management and with its legal advisors and considered a number of factors including the film library assets and content partnerships that both parties would contribute, and potential synergies of the joint venture, including the ability to consolidate technology costs and marketing spend.

Following approval of the Company’s board of directors, we entered into the Contribution Agreement on March 27, 2019 and consummated the creation of Crackle Plus on May 14, 2019. As part of the consideration to CPEH pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we agreed to issue to CPEH and its affiliates warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, at various exercise prices. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Contribution Agreement limited our ability to issue warrants that were immediately exercisable for common stock in excess of 20% of the common stock outstanding at the time of issuance. Therefore, the exercisability of an aggregate of 1,620,000 of such warrants (the “Class III-B Warrants”) are subject to the stockholder approval described in this Information Statement.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of stock or assets of another company if: (a) where, due to the present or potential issuance of common stock, including shares issued pursuant to an earn-out provision or similar type of provision, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, other than a public offering for cash: (i) the common stock has or will have upon issuance voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities; or (b) any director, officer or Substantial Shareholder (as defined by Rule 5635(e)(3)) of the Company has a 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the Company or assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid in the transaction or series of related transactions and the present or potential issuance of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, could result in an increase in outstanding common shares or voting power of 5% or more. Pursuant to IM-5635-2 — Interpretative Material Regarding the Use of Share Caps to Comply with Rule 5363, Nasdaq acknowledged that companies sometimes comply with the 20% limitation in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) by placing a “cap” on the number of shares that can be issued in the transaction, such that there cannot, under any circumstances, be an issuance of 20% or more of the common stock or voting power previously outstanding without prior shareholder approval. The Company structured the warrants issued to CPEH under the Contribution Agreement to comply with such a share cap. As a result, warrants to purchase all 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock have been issued in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), however, the exercisability of the Class III-B Warrant is dependent upon receipt of the Warrants Approval described in this Information Statement. Had the Warrants Approval not been obtained, pursuant to the terms of the Class III-B Warrant and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), the Class III-B Warrant would not be exercisable.

The Majority Stockholders consented by written action to the Warrants Approval on September 16, 2019. Such stockholder written consent constitutes the required stockholder approval for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effect of the Warrants Approval

We have outstanding Class W warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 708,939 shares of Class A common stock, Class Z warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Class A common stock, Class I Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 800,000 shares of Class A common stock, Class II Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of Class A common stock, and Class III-A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 380,000 shares of Class A common stock. Following the effectiveness of the Warrants Approval, the previously issued Class III-B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of an additional 1,620,000 shares of Class A common stock will become exercisable. The sale, or even the possibility of sale, of such warrants or the shares underlying such warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities and on our ability to obtain future public financing. If and to the extent our warrants are exercised, current stockholders may experience material dilution to their holdings.

Interest of Officers and Directors in the Warrants Approval

No officer or director of the Company has any substantial interest in the matters consented to by the Majority Stockholders, other than in their roles as an officer, director, or stockholder of the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF CRACKLE PLUS TRANSACTION

The discussion in this Information Statement regarding the Contribution Agreement and the consideration payable to CPEH pursuant to the Contribution Agreement is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Contribution Agreement and the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Crackle Plus (“Operating Agreement”). A copy of the Contribution Agreement is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A. A copy of the Operating Agreement is attached to this Information Statement as Annex B.

General

On May 14, 2019, the Company consummated (the “Closing”) the creation of a joint venture entity branded “Crackle Plus”, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. The Contribution Agreement provided, among other things, for the creation of a new streaming video joint venture and for the contribution by CPEH and its affiliates of certain U.S. and Canadian assets of the Crackle branded advertising-based video on demand streaming business to the JV Entity and for the contribution by the Company and its affiliates of certain assets of their advertising-based and subscription-based video on demand businesses to the JV Entity.

CPEH’s Contributions

CPEH and its affiliates contributed to the JV Entity the Crackle brand, Crackle’s monthly active users and its advertising representation business (the “Crackle Contributed Assets”). Ownership of Crackle’s original content library was retained by CPEH and its affiliates but made available for licensing to the JV Entity. The JV Entity also entered into a license agreement with Sony Pictures Television Inc. (“SPT”) for rights to distribute popular TV series and movies from the Sony Pictures Entertainment library on the Crackle Plus AVOD services. In addition, Crackle Plus entered into an agreement with New Media Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Electronics Inc. (“NMS”), to provide the technology back-end services for the JV Entity.

No liabilities of Crackle were assumed by the JV Entity except for (i) those liabilities arising in or specifically relating to periods, events or occurrences happening with respect to the Crackle Contributed Assets on or after the Closing; (ii) the accounts payable of Crackle selected by the Company in an amount equal to the accounts receivable of Crackle contributed to the JV Entity as part of the Crackle Contributed Assets; (iii) certain liabilities relating to employees of Crackle that joined the JV Entity following Closing; and (iv) certain other specifically identified liabilities.

The Company’s Contributions

The Company’s contribution to the JV Entity includes six owned and operated AVOD networks (Popcornflix, Truli, Popcornflix Kids, Popcornflix Comedy, Frightpix, and Españolflix), the Company’s SVOD Pivotshare platform, and a sublicense to use the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand (“Company Contributed Assets”).

Expense Reimbursement

The Contribution Agreement provides that, upon Crackle’s (now CPEH’s) written request during the six month period following the first anniversary of the Closing, Crackle and CPEH will be entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable, documented third-party expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, up to a maximum of $5,000,000 (the “Crackle Reimbursement”), payable (a) in cash by the JV Entity, or (b) upon the reasonable determination of the JV Entity’s board of managers that the JV Entity does not have sufficient cash available to make such reimbursement payment in cash, by the issuance by the Company of shares of Series A Preferred Stock valued at a price per share of $25.00, or (c) upon Crackle’s election, by the issuance by the Company of shares of Series A Preferred Stock valued at a per-share price of $25.00.

JV Entity Operating Agreement

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company and Crackle entered into the Operating Agreement. Terms of the Operating Agreement include the provisions described below.

Management

The Company, as majority owner of the Common Units of the JV Entity, manages the day to day operations of the JV Entity through its officers that are also serving as officers of the JV Entity. The JV Entity also maintains a board of managers, with three managers designated by the Company, who are currently William J. Rouhana, Jr., Elana Sofko, and Philippe Guelton, and, as long as Crackle holds at least 25% of the membership interest in the JV Entity it received at Closing, two managers designated by Crackle, who are currently Jon Hookstratten and Maria Anguelova.

The Common Units so issued shall be the same class and type of equity, and have identical rights, privileges and preferences as the Common Units owned by the Company.

JV Interest (including any units of the JV Entity held by Crackle’s permitted transferees, the “Subject Units”). If this right is exercised by CPEH, the Company shall pay for the Subject Units through either the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock or, at the Company’s election, an amount of cash based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would have been issued in payment therefor, using a price per share of $25. The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock comprising the consideration payable upon exercise of the Put Option shall be calculated in accordance with a formula set forth in the Operating Agreement. CPEH has registration rights with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock it may be issued in connection with the transactions described in this Information Statement.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

Overview

The Company is a growing, branded media company building online video-on-demand (“VOD”) networks that provide positive and entertaining video content for all screens. In May 2019, we formed a joint venture with Crackle, Inc. (“Crackle”), a business of SPT, through which we operate our VOD business. The joint venture is named “Crackle Plus.” Our Crackle Plus offering includes Crackle® and Popcornflix®, both popular online advertiser-supported VOD (“AVOD”) networks, Pivotshare, a subscription-based VOD (“SVOD”) network, Truli.com, a faith-based AVOD network, and numerous additional AVOD networks.

Crackle Plus is one of the largest AVOD companies in the United States. Crackle Plus:

•

has more than 26 million registered users;

•

has more than 38,000 combined hours of programming, including access to library assets from SPT, Screen Media and other affiliates of the joint venture partners;

•

streams more than 1.3 billion minutes per month;

•

has more than 90 content partnerships; and

•

includes more than 100 VOD networks.

Our Screen Media subsidiary is a leading global independent television and film distribution company, which owns one of the largest independently owned television and film libraries. We also curate, produce and distribute long- and short-form video content that brings out the best of the human spirit, and distribute the online content of our U.S. based subsidiary, A Plus. We are aggressively growing our business through a combination of organic growth, licensing and distribution arrangements, acquisitions and strategic relationships. We are also expanding our partnerships with sponsors, television networks and independent producers.

All of our online networks are available for all screens, including mobile devices. We expect the increasingly widespread penetration of 5G mobile networks, with virtually no latency and 10 times the download capacity of 4G, to be an accelerator of mobile video consumption.

We have an exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license agreement (“CSS License Agreement”) with our intermediate parent, CSS, a publishing and consumer products company, to create and distribute video content under the Chicken Soup for the Soul® brand (the “Brand”).

We operate in three areas:

•

Online Networks. In this business area, we distribute and exhibit VOD content through Crackle Plus directly to consumers across all digital platforms, such as connected tv’s, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles and the web through our owned and operated AVOD networks. We also distribute our own and third-party owned content to end users across various digital platforms through our SVOD network. We generate advertising revenues primarily by serving video advertisements to our streaming viewers and collecting subscription revenue from consumers.

•

Television and Film Distribution. In this business area, we distribute movies and television series worldwide to consumers through license agreements across all media, including theatrical, home video, pay-per-view, free, cable, pay television, VOD, mobile and new digital media platforms worldwide. We own the copyright or long-term distribution rights to over 1,000 television series and feature films.

•

Television and Short-Form Video Production. In this business area, we work with sponsors and use highly regarded independent producers to develop and produce our television and short-form video content, including Brand-related content. We also derive revenue from our subsidiary A

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Plus, which develops and distributes high-quality, empathetic short-form videos to millions of people worldwide. A Plus enhances our ability to distribute short form versions of our video productions and video library and provides us with content developed and distributed by A Plus that is complementary to the Brand.

Since our inception in January 2015, our business has grown rapidly. For the full year 2018, our net revenue was $26.9 million, as compared to 2017 net revenue for the full year of $10.7 million. This increase was primarily due to the revenue impact of Screen Media, our acquisition of Pivotshare in August 2018, and increased production revenue. We had net losses of $2.0 million in 2018, as compared to net income of $21.1 million in 2017. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC, for more information.

Business Strategy

Our vision is to build a powerful portfolio of online VOD networks and assets. Our production and distribution businesses are designed to provide content to our VOD networks and generate current revenue to fund our rapidly growing VOD networks. We intend to build and acquire assets such as content libraries, digital publishers with strong customer bases and content related to our own, and stand-alone VOD networks.

Evolution of Our Online Networks

Our acquisition of Screen Media in 2017 began our entry into the direct-to-consumer online VOD market through Popcornflix® which has an extensive footprint with apps that have been downloaded more than 27 million times.

Popcornflix® is one of the largest AVOD services. Under the Popcornflix® brand, we operate a series of direct-to consumer advertising supported channels. On Popcornflix®, we have the rights to exhibit more than 3,000 films and approximately 60 television series comprised of approximately 1,500 episodes, with new content added regularly. As a “free-to-consumer” digital streaming channel, Popcornflix® is a popular online video platform that can be found on Internet-connected televisions, the web, iPhones and iPads, Android products, Roku, Xbox, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and Chromecast, among others. Popcornflix® is currently available in 56 countries and territories, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the Scandinavian countries, Germany, France, Hong Kong and Singapore, with additional countries and territories to be added.

We have also begun to expand in SVOD networks.

Our entry into subscription-based VOD was initiated by our acquisition of the Pivotshare VOD network in August 2018.

In October 2018, we completed the acquisition of the assets of Truli Media Corp., a nascent global family-friendly and faith-based online video channel (“Truli”). The Truli content library includes 2,500 hours of programming and brought us an additional 630,000 Facebook fans. Truli’s content fits strategically in our plans and includes film, television, music videos, sports, comedy, and educational material. With the completion of this acquisition, Truli became our seventh advertiser-supported VOD channel.

In May 2019, we consummated our agreement (“Contribution Agreement”) with Crackle, which is a business of SPT, one of the television industry’s leading content providers, by which the parties agreed to contribute their respective VOD businesses to a newly-formed joint venture entity, Crackle Plus, LLC. The combined VOD businesses is known as “Crackle Plus.” The formation and operation of Crackle Plus is expected to more than double our overall annual revenue and add meaningful EBITDA.

Television and Film Distribution

We distribute television series and films worldwide through Screen Media. We own the copyright or long-term distribution rights to approximately 1,700 hours of television series and feature films, representing one of the largest independently owned libraries of filmed entertainment in the world. We distribute our television series and films through direct relationships across all media, including theatrical, home video, pay-per-view, free, cable and pay television, VOD and emerging digital media platforms worldwide.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Screen Media’s distribution capabilities across all media gives us the ability to distribute our produced television series directly. We believe that the cost savings from Screen Media’s distribution capabilities may enhance our revenue and profits from our produced television series.

We have distribution licensing agreements with numerous digital services across all major platforms, such as cable and satellite VOD and Internet VOD, which includes TVOD for rentals or purchases of films, AVOD for free-to-viewer streaming of films and TV shows supported by advertisements and SVOD for unlimited access to films and TV shows for a monthly fee.

Our cable and satellite VOD distribution agreements include those with DirecTV, Dish, Optimum (Altice USA), Verizon and In Demand (owned by Comcast, Charter and Cox). Our Internet VOD distribution agreements include those with Amazon, iTunes, Microsoft, Samsung, YouTube, Hulu, Xbox, Netflix, Sony and Vudu, among others.

We are rapidly expanding international distribution of our content through agreements with Film Mode Entertainment, iTunes, Sony PlayStation and Xbox, among others. Under these agreements, our titles are available in various media and on iTunes, Sony PlayStation and Xbox in the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Italy and Hong Kong, with additional territories added regularly.

Television and Short-Form Video Production

We utilize the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand, together with our management’s industry experience and expertise, to generate revenue through the production and distribution of video content with sponsors. We partner with sponsors and use highly-regarded independent producers to develop and produce video content. Using this approach provides us with access to a diverse pool of creative ideas for new video content projects and allows us to scale our production business on a variable cost basis. We currently have producer agreements or arrangements in place with a number of these producers, including Litton Entertainment (a Hearst company). We anticipate entering into relationships with additional independent producers.

We seek committed funding from corporate and foundation sponsors covering more than just the production costs prior to moving forward with a project. Since we seek to secure both the committed funding and production capabilities for our video content prior to moving forward with a project, we have high visibility into the profitability of a particular project before committing to proceed with such project. In addition, we take limited financial risk on developing our projects.

Corporate and foundation sponsors with which we have worked include HomeAway, Hilton Grand Vacations, American Humane, Chegg, Acorns, the Boniuk Foundation, State Farm, Michelson Found Animals Foundation and the Morgridge Family Foundation, and we are currently in discussions with numerous others. We endeavor to retain meaningful back-end rights to our video content in these relationships, which provides opportunities for improved profitability and enhances our library value.

In December 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of A Plus, an affiliate of ours. Prior to the acquisition, A Plus was majority owned by an affiliate of CSS and, pursuant to a distribution agreement, we had the exclusive worldwide rights to distribute all video content (in any and all formats) and all editorial content (including articles, photos and still images) created, produced, edited or delivered by A Plus, and we received a net distribution fee equal to 30% of gross revenue generated by the distribution of the A Plus video content. As a result of the acquisition, the distribution agreement was terminated, resulting in our retention of 100% of the revenues generated by A Plus going forward, along with projected cost savings in 2018 and 2019.

Our long-form video content consists of 30- to 60-minute episodic programs typically distributed initially on traditional television or cable networks. Our current long-form video content projects include:

•

Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Hidden Heroes (‘‘Hidden Heroes’’). The multi-award-winning Hidden Heroes was hosted by Brooke Burke. The series third season was on The CW Network. The Boniuk Foundation has agreed to sponsor a fourth season of Hidden Heroes with a new host. Production of season 4 is finished and we are considering exhibiting the series on our own networks. A segment of Hidden Heroes can be seen at https://cssentertainment.com/hiddenheroes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Hidden Heroes was nominated for an Emmy award for “Outstanding Children’s or Family Viewing Series” in March 2019. Information accessible through any website link in this Information Statement shall not be deemed to form a part of this Information Statement.

•

Being Dad, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Original Series (“Being Dad”). This series is an intimate, revealing and entertaining portrait of nine men who are tackling one of the most important roles in the world: fatherhood. The episodes are about the lives of dads who are facing challenges that are simultaneously unique and universal. The fathers are all bound by the singular belief that raising their children is life’s greatest gift. In August 2018, the series began streaming on Netflix.

•

Vacation Rental Potential. This television series gives viewers the information and inspiration needed to realize their dreams of using real estate entrepreneurship to afford a vacation home for their family. Hosted by Holly Baker, Vacation Rental Potential offers insight on how to make the dream of vacation homeownership possible. The show premiered on A&E Network in December 2017. Its second season also aired on A&E Network in 2018. The series was nominated for a Real Screen award in the “Digital and Branded Content: Brand-Funded Content” category.

•

Going From Broke. Ashton Kutcher is the executive producer on this new series about the 44 million young Americans that are today saddled with student and credit card debt totaling nearly $1.5 trillion. Recent college graduates have no idea how to dig themselves out of their financial disaster. Going From Broke is hosted by money expert Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg. Throughout the series, Dan helps these millennials deal with their financial challenges. The show will premiere on Crackle Plus in October 2019.

•

Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Animal Tales (“Animal Tales”). This series is sponsored by Chicken Soup for the Soul Pet Food and American Humane, the country’s first national humane organization. This series celebrates everything pets and animals add to our lives. The series brings awareness to the Chicken Soup for the Soul mission of helping all pets eat well, whether that’s by making super premium pet food that is affordable or donating millions of meals to shelter pets every year. The show premiered on the CW Network in January 2019 and is hosted by Eva La Rue. It has been renewed for a second season.

Our short-form video content, including our branded short-form video content known as Sips, is receiving increased focus from our advertisers and sponsors. Such short-form video content is typically exhibited through online video content distribution through A Plus and various social media platforms, such as YouTube, Facebook, as well as on the social media channels of Chicken Soup for the Soul and our sponsors. A Plus is adding more short-form video content to its site and its social media platforms and we are focusing on possible acquisitions in this space. Increasing revenue from short-form video could make our business less cyclical and assist in reducing the relative size of fourth quarter revenue compared to other quarters.

Competition

Video content production and distribution direct to consumers are highly competitive businesses. We face competition from companies within the entertainment business and from alternative forms of leisure entertainment, such as travel, sporting events, outdoor recreation, video games, the internet and other cultural and computer-related activities. We compete with the major studios, numerous independent motion picture and television distribution and production companies, television networks, pay television systems and online media platforms for the services of performing artists, producers and other creative and technical personnel and production financing, all of which are essential to the success of our businesses.

In addition, our video content competes for media outlet and audience acceptance with video content produced and distributed by other companies. As a result, the success of any of our video content is dependent not only on the quality and acceptance of a particular production, but also on the quality and acceptance of other competing video content available in the marketplace at or near the same time.

Given such competition, and our stage of development, we intend to initially emphasize a lower cost structure, risk mitigation, reliance on financial partnerships and innovative financing strategies. Our cost structures are designed to utilize our flexibility and agility as well as the entrepreneurial spirit of our employees, partners and affiliates, in order to provide creative, desirable video content.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Intellectual Property

We are party to a license agreement with CSS (“CSS License Agreement”) through which we have been granted the perpetual, exclusive, worldwide license by CSS to produce and distribute video content using the brand and related content, such as stories published in the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Chicken Soup for the Soul and related names are trademarks owned by CSS. We have the proprietary rights (including copyrights) in all our company-produced content. With the acquisition of Screen Media, the Company now owns copyrights or global long-term distribution rights to the Screen Media film library. Our Crackle Plus joint venture owns trademarks to several AVOD and SVOD applications including Crackle®, Popcornflix, and Pivotshare.

We rely on a combination of confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other similar measures to protect our proprietary information and intellectual property rights.

Employees

As of July 31, 2019, we had 81 direct employees, including through our Crackle Plus joint venture. The services of certain personnel, including our chairman and chief executive officer, vice chairman and chief strategy officer, our senior brand advisor and director, and chief financial officer, are provided to us under a management agreement with CSS (“CSS Management Agreement”). We also utilize many consultants in the ordinary course of our business and hire additional personnel on a project-by-project basis. We believe that our employee and labor relations are good, and we are committed to inclusion and strict policies and procedures to maintain a safe work environment.

Corporate Information

We are a Delaware corporation formed on May 4, 2016. CSS Productions, our predecessor and immediate parent company, was formed in December 2014 by CSS, and initiated operations in January 2015. We were formed to create a discrete entity focused on video content opportunities using the Brand. In connection with our succession to the operations of CSS Productions, all video content assets owned by CSS and any of its affiliates, including all rights and obligations related thereto, were transferred to us upon our formation on May 4, 2016.

In May 2016, pursuant to the terms of the contribution agreement among CSS, CSS Productions and the Company (the “CSS Contribution Agreement”), all video content assets (the “Subject Assets”) owned by CSS, CSS Productions and the subsidiaries of CSS were transferred to the Company in consideration for its issuance to CSS Productions of 8,600,568 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. Since the date of the CSS Contribution Agreement, CSS Productions has transferred certain of these shares of Class B common stock to third parties in certain transactions. Concurrently with the consummation of the CSS Contribution Agreement, certain rights to receive payments under certain agreements comprising part of the Subject Assets owned by Trema, LLC (“Trema”), a company principally owned and controlled by William J. Rouhana, Jr., the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, were assigned to the Company under a contribution agreement (the “Trema Contribution Agreement”) in consideration for the Company’s issuance to Trema of 159,432 shares or our Class B common stock.

Following completion of the transactions described above, CSS Productions’ operating activities ceased, and the Company continued the business operations of producing and distributing the video content.

The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 132 E. Putnam Ave., Floor 2W, Cos Cob, Connecticut 06807 and our telephone number is (855) 398-0443.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to:

•

Not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;

•

Not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors’ report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;

•

Reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and

•

Exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We may remain an “emerging growth company” until as late as December 31, 2022, the fiscal year-end following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, though we may cease to be an emerging growth company earlier under certain circumstances, including if (a) we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue in any fiscal year, (b) the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 or (c) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES

Introduction

In the discussion that follows, we have summarized selected provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law, or “DGCL,” relating to our capital stock. This summary is not complete. This discussion is subject to the relevant provisions of Delaware law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, each of which are attached as exhibits to the periodic reports we file with the SEC from time to time. You should read the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws as currently in effect for provisions that may be important to you.

General

We are authorized to issue 70 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $.0001, 20 million shares of Class B common stock, par value $.0001, and 10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001, of which 4,300,000 has been designated Series A Preferred Stock.

Certain of the shares of Class B common stock so issued have since been converted into shares of Class A common stock at the election of the holders of such shares and in accordance with the terms thereof.

On August 17, 2017, we completed our IPO consisting of 2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock at an offering price of $12.00 per share. The shares of Class A common stock offered and sold in the IPO were comprised of (a) an aggregate of 2,241,983 shares of our newly issued Class A common stock and (b) an aggregate of 258,017 shares of issued and outstanding Class A common stock that were sold by certain non-management, non-affiliated selling stockholders.

On June 29, 2018, we completed a follow-on underwritten public offering of our Series A Preferred Stock at an offering price of $25.00 per share. We initially sold 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and, on July 10, 2018, we sold an additional 46,497 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a result of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Affiliates of William J. Rouhana, Jr., our chief executive officer and chairman of the board, and Amy Newmark, a director, purchased shares in the offering on the same terms as offered to the public. The sale of Series A Preferred Stock generated aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately $14.8 million. In connection with our acquisition of Pivotshare in August 2018, we issued 134,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. On November 19, 2018, we completed an additional underwritten public offering of our Series A Preferred Stock at an offering price of $25.00 per share.

On August 19, 2019, we entered into an underwriting agreement for the sale of 192,174 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering. On August 20, 2019, we were advised by the underwriters that they would be exercising in full the over-allotment option prescribed by the underwriting agreement for the purchase of 28,826 additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. We consummated the sale of 221,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock on August 22, 2019 at an offering price of $25 per share.

Our Class A common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “CSSE” and “CSSEP”, respectively.

As of the date of this Information Statement, 4,259,920 shares of our Class A common stock are outstanding, 7,813,938 shares of our Class B common stock are outstanding and 1,599,002 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding. We also have outstanding Class W warrants to purchase an

Subject to the preferential or other rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding, including the Series A Preferred Stock, upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be entitled to receive ratably all of our assets available for distribution to our 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 our Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and 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 Class A common stock or Class B common stock upon our consolidation or merger with or into any other entity, or in the case of any other transaction having an effect on 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 Class A common stock and 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 Class A common stock and Class B common stock is that any securities distributed to the holder of a share Class B common stock have ten times the voting power of any securities distributed to the holder of a share of Class A 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 our Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, each voting separately as a class.

Cancellation

We 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) our Class A common stock is traded, listed or quoted on any U.S. market or electronic exchange, and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(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 the Class W or Class Z warrants will be forfeited unless such warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the call notice. On and after the call date, a record holder of Class W or Class Z 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 our Class W and 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 our call, the call will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.

We may not call the Class I, II, III-A or III-B Warrants for cancellation.

Exercise Rights

Holders of the Warrants have cashless exercise rights that allow each holder to pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of 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 common stock for the ten trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise.

The exercise price and number of shares of 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 our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the 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 Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check or wire transfer payable to us, for the number of Warrants being exercised. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock or other series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

The description of certain terms of the 9.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock in this Information Statement does not purport to be complete and is in all respects subject to, and qualified in its entirety by references to the relevant provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, the amended certificate of designations establishing the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock, our Bylaws and the DGCL. Copies of our Certificate of Incorporation, certificate of designations, Bylaws and all amendments thereto, are filed as exhibits to our periodic reports filed with the SEC and are available from us upon request.

General

We have sold shares of Series A Preferred Stock in various public and private offerings, all at offering prices of $25.00 per share, as described more fully in the section titled “Description of the Company’s Securities — General” above.

As of the date of this Information Statement, 1,599,002 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding.

Our board of directors may, without the approval of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or our common stock, designate additional series of authorized preferred stock ranking junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock or designate additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and authorize the issuance of such shares. Designation of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock will require approval of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, as described below in “Voting Rights.”

The registrar, transfer agent, and dividend and redemption price disbursing agent in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption

The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we decide to redeem or otherwise repurchase them. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.

Ranking

The Series A Preferred Stock will rank, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up:

•

senior to all classes or series of our common stock and to all other equity securities issued by us other than equity securities referred to in the next two bullet points below;

•

on a parity with all equity securities issued by us with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up;

•

junior to all equity securities issued by us with terms specifically providing for ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up (please see the section entitled “Voting Rights” below); and

•

effectively junior to all our existing and future indebtedness (including indebtedness convertible to our common stock or preferred stock) and to any indebtedness and other liabilities of (as well as any preferred equity interests held by others in) our existing subsidiaries.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dividends

Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our board of directors, out of funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 9.75% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $2.4375 per annum per share). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be payable monthly on the 15th day of each month; provided that if any dividend payment date is not a business day, as defined in the certificate of designations, then the dividend that would otherwise have been payable on that dividend payment date may be paid on the next succeeding business day and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that dividend payment date to that next succeeding business day. Any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock, including dividends payable for any partial dividend period, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in our stock records for the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the last day of the calendar month, whether or not a business day, immediately preceding the month in which the applicable dividend payment date falls. As a result, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends on a dividend payment date if such shares were not issued and outstanding on the applicable dividend record date.

No dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be authorized by our board of directors or paid or set apart for payment by us at any time when the terms and provisions of any agreement of ours, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not we have earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared by our board of directors. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears, and holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends described above. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to those shares.

Future distributions on our common stock and preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash flow from operations, financial condition and capital requirements, any debt service requirements and any other factors our board of directors deems relevant. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make cash distributions on our preferred stock or what the actual distributions will be for any future period.

Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no dividends (other than in shares of common stock or in shares of any series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Also, any shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall not be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any moneys paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by us (except by conversion into or exchange for our other capital stock that we may issue ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up).

When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series A Preferred Stock and the shares of any other series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series A Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other series of preferred stock that we may issue shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other series of preferred stock that we may issue (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such preferred stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets we have legally available for distribution to our stockholders, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of our capital stock we may issue ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of our common stock or any other class or series of our capital stock we may issue that ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights.

In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our available assets are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of our capital stock that we may issue ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to holders of Series A Preferred Stock of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up no fewer than 10 days prior to the payment date. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets. The consolidation or merger of us with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other entity with or into us, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our property or business, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us (although such events may give rise to the special optional redemption to the extent described below).

Redemption

The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable by us prior to June 27, 2023, except as described below under “— Special Optional Redemption.”

Optional Redemption. On and after June 27, 2023, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

Special Optional Redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when the following have occurred and are continuing:

•

the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (other than Mr. Rouhana, the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer and our principal stockholder, any member of his immediate family, and any “person” or “group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, that is controlled by Mr. Rouhana or any member of his immediate family, any beneficiary of the estate of Mr. Rouhana, or any trust, partnership, corporate or other entity controlled by any of the foregoing), of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of our stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and

•

following the closing of any transaction referred to above, neither we nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or American Depositary Receipts representing such securities) listed on the NYSE, the NYSE American, or Nasdaq, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American, or Nasdaq.

Redemption Procedures. In the event we elect to redeem Series A Preferred Stock, the notice of redemption will be mailed to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption at such holder’s address as it appears on our stock transfer records, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, and will state the following:

•

the redemption date;

•

the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed;

•

the redemption price;

•

the place or places where certificates (if any) for the Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price;

•

that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date;

•

whether such redemption is being made pursuant to the provisions described above under “— Optional Redemption” or “— Special Optional Redemption”; and

•

if applicable, that such redemption is being made in connection with a Change of Control and, in that case, a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control.

If less than all of the Series A Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the Series A Preferred Stock at the place designated in the notice of redemption and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends payable upon the redemption following the surrender. If notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been given and if we have irrevocably set aside the funds necessary for redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless default shall be made by us in providing for the payment of the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any), dividends will cease to accrue on those shares of Series A Preferred Stock, those shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption. If any redemption date is not a business day, then the redemption price and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption may be paid on the next business day and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after that redemption date to that next business day. If less than all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method we determine.

In connection with any redemption of Series A Preferred Stock, we shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a dividend record date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, in which case each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on such dividend record date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such dividend payment date. Except as provided above, we will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

No shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid and all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. We shall not otherwise purchase or acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except by exchanging it for our capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition by us of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Subject to applicable law, we may purchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that we acquire may be retired and reclassified as authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation as to class or series, and may thereafter be reissued as any class or series of preferred stock.

Voting Rights

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights, except as set forth below or as otherwise required by law.

On each matter on which holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote. In instances described below where holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote with holders of any other class or series of our preferred stock as a single class on any matter, the Series A Preferred Stock and the shares of each such other class or series will have one vote for each $25.00 of liquidation preference (excluding accumulated dividends) represented by their respective shares.

Whenever dividends on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for eighteen or more monthly dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be automatically increased by two (if not already increased by two by reason of the election of directors by the holders of any other class or series of our preferred stock we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and with which the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote as a class with respect to the election of those two directors) and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other classes or series of preferred stock we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote as a class with the Series A Preferred Stock in the election of those two directors) will be entitled to vote for the election of those two additional directors (the “preferred stock directors”) at a special meeting called by us at the request of the holders of record of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or by the holders of any other class or series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote as a class with the Series A Preferred Stock in the election of those two preferred stock directors (unless the request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of stockholders, in which case, such vote will be held at the earlier of the next annual or special meeting of stockholders), and at each subsequent annual meeting until

TABLE OF CONTENTS

all dividends accumulated on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In that case, the right of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to elect any directors will cease and, unless there are other classes or series of our preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, any preferred stock directors elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall immediately resign and the number of directors constituting the board of directors shall be reduced accordingly. In no event shall the holders of Series A Preferred Stock be entitled under these voting rights to elect a preferred stock director that would cause us to fail to satisfy a requirement relating to director independence of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which any class or series of our capital stock is listed or quoted. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the total number of preferred stock directors elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other classes or series of preferred stock we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote as a class with the Series A Preferred Stock in the election of such directors) under these voting rights exceed two. Any person nominated to serve as a director of our company under the foregoing terms shall be reasonably acceptable to our company.

If a special meeting is not called by us within 30 days after request from the holders of Series A Preferred Stock as described above, then the holders of record of at least 25% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock may designate a holder to call the meeting at our expense.

If, at any time when the voting rights conferred upon the Series A Preferred Stock are exercisable, any vacancy in the office of a preferred stock director shall occur, then such vacancy may be filled only by a written consent of the remaining preferred stock director, or if none remains in office, by vote of the holders of record of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and any other classes or series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote as a class with the Series A Preferred Stock in the election of the preferred stock directors. Any preferred stock director elected or appointed may be removed only by the affirmative vote of holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and any other classes or series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which classes or series of preferred stock are entitled to vote as a class with the Series A Preferred Stock in the election of the preferred stock directors, such removal to be effected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and any such other classes or series of preferred stock, and may not be removed by the holders of the common stock.

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, we will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66.67% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), (a) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassify any of our authorized capital stock into such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares; or (b) unless redeeming all Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such action, amend, alter, repeal or replace our Certificate of Incorporation, including by way of a merger, consolidation or otherwise in which we may or may not be the surviving entity, so as to materially and adversely affect and deprive holders of Series A Preferred Stock of any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock (each, an “Event”). An increase in the amount of the authorized preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, or the creation or issuance of any additional Series A Preferred Stock or other series of preferred stock that we may issue, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed an Event and will not require us to obtain 66.67% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and all such other similarly affected series, outstanding at the time (voting together as a class).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be affected, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to affect such redemption.

Except as expressly stated in the certificate of designations or as may be required by applicable law, the Series A Preferred Stock do not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.

During any period in which we are not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we will use our best efforts to (i) make available on our corporate investor webpage, copies of the Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that we would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required) and (ii) promptly, upon request, supply copies of such reports to any holders of Series A Preferred Stock. We will use our best effort to provide the information to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock within 15 days after the respective dates by which a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, in respect of such information would have been required to be filed with the SEC, if we were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in each case, based on the dates on which we would be required to file such periodic reports if we were a “non-accelerated filer” within the meaning of the Exchange Act.

No Conversion Rights

The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock or any other security.

No Preemptive Rights

No holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will, as holders of Series A Preferred Stock, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for our common stock or any other security.

Credit Rating of Our Series A Preferred Stock

Our Series A Preferred Stock has been rated BBB(-) by Egan-Jones Rating Co., a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). The Series A Preferred Stock has not been rated by any other NRSRO or other agency. A securities rating reflects only the view of a rating agency and is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold the Series A Preferred Stock. Any rating may be subject to revision upward or downward or withdrawal at any time by a rating agency if such rating agency decides that circumstances warrant that change. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. No report of any rating agency is being incorporated herein by reference.

The credit ratings assigned by Egan-Jones are based, in varying degrees, on the following considerations:

•

Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;

•

Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and

•

Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.

Credit ratings assigned by Egan-Jones are expressed in terms of default risk. The rating scale utilized by Egan-Jones is as follows:

•

AAA — An obligation rated “AAA” has the highest rating assigned by Egan-Jones. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

AA — An obligation rated “AA” differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

•

A — An obligation rated “A” is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

•

BBB — An obligation rated “BBB” exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

•

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C — Obligations rated “BB”, “B”, “CCC”, “CC”, and “C” are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. “BB” indicates the least degree of speculation and “C” the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

•

D — An obligation rated “D” is in payment default. The “D” rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Egan-Jones believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The “D” rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

•

Plus (+) or minus (-) — The ratings from “AA” to “CCC” may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Certain Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation

Special Meeting of Stockholders

Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors, or by our chairman and chief executive officer or by our secretary at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding capital stock.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our 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 our 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 our principal executive offices not later than the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of our annual meeting of stockholders is first made or sent by us. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

Removal and Appointment of Directors

Our 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 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 our voting power.

Class B Approval Required for Charter Amendments

Any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation requires the approval of the majority of the outstanding Class B common stock. This approval requirement is separate and in addition to any general stockholder approval that would be required under our Certificate of Incorporation and law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Exclusive Forum Selection

Article Twelve of our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of our company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of our company to our company or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our 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 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.

Forward-looking statements in this Information Statement may include, for example, statements about our:

•

limited operating history;

•

financial performance, including our ability to generate revenue;

•

inability to pay dividends if we fall out of compliance with our loan covenants in the future and then are prohibited by our bank lender from paying dividends;

HOUSEHOLDING

To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate materials to our stockholders, we are relying on the SEC rules that permit us to deliver only one Information Statement to multiple stockholders who share an address unless we receive contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” reduces duplicate mailings, thus saving printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we 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 wish to receive a separate copy of the Information Statement, promptly and free of charge, or if you wish to receive separate copies of future stockholder materials, please mail your request to Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment Inc. 132 E.

Section 5.11 Employment Matters.

(a) At Closing, Crackle shall facilitate the transfer and the employment by the JV Entity of the Employees employed by Crackle, CPE or another Affiliate thereof that are providing services in connection with the Crackle VOD Business, all of which are set forth on Schedule 5.11(a) (“Existing Crackle Employees”), and the JV Entity shall (i) assume, and thereafter perform, all obligations of Crackle (or its applicable Affiliate) under each Employment Agreement Employee’s employment agreement (each, a “Crackle Employment Agreement”), and (ii) offer to each Existing Crackle Employee not party to an employment agreement at Closing (an “Other Employee”), effective as of Closing, terms and conditions of employment, including with respect to location, role, position, and base pay that are substantially equivalent in terms of location, role, position, and base pay as was provided by Crackle or any of its Affiliates to Existing Employees immediately prior to Closing (“Substantially Similar Terms”); provided, however, that the JV Entity may offer any such Other Employee terms and conditions of employment which are lesser than Substantially Similar Terms, but in the event that such Other Employee does not accept such employment offer, he or she shall be deemed to have been terminated by the JV Entity without cause (a “JV Terminated Employee”), and the JV Entity shall have the liability for (or reimburse Crackle for, as the case may be) payment of severance (in accordance with the JV Entity Severance Policy) and provision of related benefits to such JV Terminated Employee. The offer of employment required by this Section 5.11(a) shall be delivered to each Other Employee by CSSE on behalf of the JV Entity in writing prior to the Closing Date and shall be conditioned upon and effective at Closing. Prior to the delivery of the employment offer to the Other Employees, CSSE shall provide to Crackle for its reasonable and timely review a draft of the form of offer of employment to be made to such employees. Each Employment Agreement Employee shall be notified in writing by Crackle of the transfer of his or her Crackle Employment Agreement prior to the Closing Date, which transfer shall be conditioned upon and effective at Closing. Each Other Employee who accepts the JV Entity’s offer of employment, and each Employment Agreement Employee whose employment agreement is transferred to the JV Entity at Closing, shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee.” After the date hereof, CPE and Crackle shall promptly provide to CSSE all information requested by CSSE that is or will be reasonably necessary for the JV Entity to comply with its obligations with respect to the Transferred Employees under this Section 5.11(a) and the other provisions of this Section 5.11. Such obligations include, without limitation, those arising under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act and information that must be supplied when any terminated employees are part of a reduction in force.

(b) For purposes of any notice, retention, severance, retrenchment or termination of any benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement, the parties to this Agreement intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance of employment of any Existing Crackle Employee or Transferred Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, so that (i) Transferred Employees will be offered continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before, during and immediately following the Closing, and (ii) Existing Crackle Employees who received an offer of employment which contained Substantially Similar Terms but who rejected such offer will be offered continuous and uninterrupted employment after closing with Crackle (or an Affiliate thereof) or terminated by Crackle (or an Affiliate thereof), at its sole expense, and in its sole discretion. The JV Entity shall retain and be solely responsible for all liabilities in respect of claims made by any Transferred Employee or JV Terminated Employee for any notice, retention, severance, retrenchment, termination pay or other benefits arising from any action or inaction of the JV Entity after Closing (including claims for constructive dismissal, termination indemnities, any damages arising from a breach of such Transferred Employee’s employment contract, and any payments required to be made under any applicable law in respect of the termination of the Employee’s employment). Crackle similarly shall be responsible for all such liabilities in respect to Existing Crackle Employees who received an offer of employment which contained Substantially Similar Terms and who rejected such offer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) Effective as of the Closing, subject to Section 5.11(c), below, each Transferred Employee shall cease to actively participate in (including eligibility to contribute to) and accrue benefits under all Crackle Benefit Plans. After the Closing Date, the JV Entity shall cooperate with Crackle to provide each other with such current information regarding the Transferred Employees on an ongoing basis as may be necessary to facilitate determinations of eligibility for, and payments of benefits to, the Transferred Employees under any applicable Benefit Plans that continue to be maintained by CPE or Crackle or any of their Affiliates.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits, but excluding defined benefit pension plans) under the employee benefit plans pursuant to which the JV Entity provides benefits to any Transferred Employee after the Closing (the “New Plans”), each Transferred Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the JV Entity, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for service with Crackle under any similar Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the JV Entity shall use best efforts to ensure that (i) each Transferred Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing coverage under a Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately before the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”) and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, the JV Entity shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Old Plans in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Closing. The JV Entity shall cause eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under the New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(f) With respect to Existing Crackle Employees:

(i) Crackle shall retain the obligation to provide health continuation coverage required by Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”) under a Benefit Plan with respect to any Employee and his or her “qualified beneficiaries” (as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Code) who experience a “qualifying event” (as defined in Section 4980B(f)(3) of the Code) prior to the Closing Date, and the JV Entity shall assume the obligation to provide health continuation coverage required by COBRA under a New Plan with respect to any Transferred Employee or JV Terminated Employee and his or her qualified beneficiaries (as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Code) who experience a “qualifying event” (as defined in Section 4980B(f)(3) of the Code) on or after the Closing Date.

(ii) Effective on the Closing Date, the JV Entity shall provide to the Transferred Employees the right to participate in a tax-qualified “401(k)” plan sponsored, established or maintained by the JV Entity (the “JV Entity 401(k) Plan”). Each Transferred Employee who, prior to the Closing, participated in a 401(k) plan sponsored or maintained by Crackle or any of its Affiliates (the “Crackle 401(k) Plan”) shall be given the opportunity by Crackle as soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date to receive a distribution of his or her account balance under the Crackle 401(k) Plan (in cash, but also including any promissory notes for associated participant loans) and by the JV Entity to elect to roll over such account into the JV Entity 401(k) Plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(g) The JV Entity shall assume and honor under substantially equivalent terms to those currently provided by Crackle, all vacation, sick leave and other personal time off accrued and unused as of the Closing of each Transferred Employee. Thereafter, such accrued and unused time shall be subject to the vacation, sick leave and other personal time-off policies of the JV Entity applicable to the respective Transferred Employee, consistent with this Section 5.11.

(h) Crackle and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for workers’ compensation obligations by or with respect to any Transferred Employee that are incurred prior to the Closing and the JV Entity and its Affiliates (excluding Crackle) shall be solely responsible for workers’ compensation by or with respect to any Transferred Employee that are incurred on or after the Closing. Crackle also shall be responsible for such post-Closing obligations regarding Existing Crackle Employees who received an offer of employment which contained Substantially Similar Terms and who rejected such offer. For purposes of this Section 5.11(h) a workers’ compensation claim shall be considered incurred before the Closing if the injury or condition giving rise to the claim occurs before the Closing. Crackle acknowledges and agrees that, unless otherwise provided under applicable Law, Benefit Plans that provide group health benefits shall be solely responsible for health benefit claims incurred by Transferred Employees before the Closing and JV entity shall be responsible for all health benefit claims incurred by Transferred Employees on or following Closing. A health benefit claim shall be considered incurred before the Closing if rendering of the health service occurs before Closing.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at Closing, the JV Entity shall adopt a severance policy (the “JV Severance Policy”) applicable to Existing Crackle Employees (including JV Terminated Employees and Transferred Employees) with respect to any termination of any such Existing Crackle Employee at Closing, or, in the case of Transferred Employees, at any time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the ninety first (91st) day following the Closing Date. The JV Severance Policy shall provide for severance benefits equivalent in value, including all payment obligations, to Crackle’s existing severance policy (inclusive of the payment of base salary, COBRA reimbursement and third party recruiting/placement services, but not bonuses); provided, however, the JV Severance Policy may provide that terminated Transferred Employees receive staggered severance payments rather than lump sum payments. The JV Entity shall reimburse CPE, or any Affiliate thereof, promptly upon written request therefore, for any COBRA provided to a JV Terminated Employee or a Transferred Employee under a Crackle Benefit Plan, or any other Benefit Plan maintained by CPE or any Affiliate thereof. The JV Severance Policy shall condition all payments and benefits on execution by any terminated Transferred Employee or JV Terminated Employee of a separation agreement and release in favor of the JV Entity, Crackle and CSSE, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the JV Entity. The form of separation agreement counsel for the JV Entity prepares will not reduce any payments or benefits that, pursuant to this Agreement, the JV Entity undertakes to offer to each contemplated Transferred Employee. The JV Entity Severance Policy shall not permit termination of severance payments to any terminated Transferred Employee or JV Terminated Employee because such employee finds other employment. Crackle shall remain responsible for payment to all Existing Crackle Employees of all year-end bonuses for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and Crackle shall pay same as and when due and the same shall be payable in accordance with Crackle’s and its Affiliates’ internal policies. With respect to any Transferred Employee, the payment of such bonus shall be subject to his or her continued employment with the JV Entity through the date such payments are due.

(j) In the event of a conflict between this Section 5.11 and any employee-related Benefit Plan, program, arrangement, contract or practice of the JV Entity, this Section 5.11 shall control.

Section 5.12 Tax Matters.

(a) The parties shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any Tax audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes and payments in respect thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other parties’ request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional

The JV Entity, CPE, Crackle and CSSE shall retain all books and records with respect to their respective Tax matters relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until six (6) months after the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the JV Entity, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority. Each of the parties shall furnish the other parties with copies of all relevant correspondence received from any Governmental Authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any Taxes for which any other party may have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement. Each party, upon request of another party, agrees to provide such other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, neither CPE and Crackle, on the one hand, nor CSSE, on the other hand, shall be required to disclose any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar income Tax Return of which it or its Affiliates is the common parent or any other information relating to Taxes or Tax Returns other than information relating solely to Crackle, the Crackle Contributed Assets, the Crackle Assumed Liabilities, or the Crackle VOD Business, in the case of CPE, and Crackle, and the CSSE Contributed Assets, the CSSE Assumed Liabilities, or the CSSE VOD Business, in the case of CSSE.

(b) The JV Entity shall pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, gross receipts, stamp, registration, or other similar transfer taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement when due, and the JV Entity will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable Law, the other applicable parties hereunder will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The parties hereto shall cooperate to minimize or avoid any such Transfer Taxes that might be imposed to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(i) Any real property, personal property, or similar Taxes applicable to the Crackle Contributed Assets and the Crackle Assumed Liabilities for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date shall be paid by Crackle or the JV Entity, as applicable, and such Taxes shall be apportioned between Crackle and the JV Entity based on the number of days in the portion of the taxable period that ends on and includes the Closing Date (the “Crackle Pre-Closing Apportioned Taxes”) and the number of days in the entire taxable period. Crackle shall pay to the JV Entity an amount equal to any such Taxes payable by the JV Entity which are attributable to the Crackle Pre-Closing Apportioned Taxes, and the JV Entity shall pay to Crackle an amount equal to any such Taxes payable by Crackle which are not attributable to the Crackle Pre-Closing Apportioned Taxes. Such payments shall be made on or prior to the Closing Date or, if later, on the date such Taxes are due (or thereafter, promptly after request by the JV Entity or Crackle if such Taxes are not identified by the JV Entity or Crackle on or prior to the Closing Date).

(ii) Any real property, personal property, or similar Taxes applicable to the CSSE Contributed Assets and the CSSE Assumed Liabilities for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date shall be paid by CSSE or the JV Entity, as applicable, and such Taxes shall be apportioned between CSSE and the JV Entity based on the number of days in the portion of the taxable period that ends on and includes the Closing Date (the “CSSE Pre-Closing Apportioned Taxes”) and the number of days in the entire taxable period. CSSE shall pay to the JV Entity an amount equal to any such Taxes payable by the JV Entity which are attributable to the CSSE Pre-Closing Apportioned Taxes, and the JV Entity shall pay to CSSE an amount equal to any such Taxes payable by CSSE which are not attributable to the CSSE Pre-Closing Apportioned Taxes. Such payments shall be made on or prior to the Closing Date or, if later, on the date such Taxes are due (or thereafter, promptly after request by the JV Entity or CSSE if such Taxes are not identified by the JV Entity or CSSE on or prior to the Closing Date).

(d) For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, Crackle, CSSE, the JV Entity, and their respective Affiliates, agree to treat the contributions of the Crackle Contributed Assets and the CSSE Contributed Assets as tax-deferred contributions. The Crackle Contributed

Assets shall be contributed to the JV Entity in exchange for the Crackle JV Interest and the CSSE Contributed Assets shall be contributed to the JV Entity in exchange for the CSSE JV Interest, in each case, which Crackle, CSSE, the JV Entity, and their respective affiliates agree shall be treated as tax-deferred contributions pursuant to Section 721 of the Code (and any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or foreign income Tax Law). CSSE is deemed to issue the Class I Warrants, the Class II Warrants, the Class III-A Warrants and the Class III-B Warrants as an inducement to CPE to enter into the transaction. Each of Crackle, CSSE, the JV Entity, and their respective affiliates agree to report, act, and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes in a manner consistent with this Section 5.12(d).

Section 5.13 Further Assurances.

(a) After Closing and without additional consideration, (i) Crackle and CPE will execute and deliver to CSSE and the JV Entity such further instruments and certificates of conveyance and transfer as CSSE may reasonably request in order to more effectively convey and transfer the Crackle Contributed Assets from Crackle to the JV Entity; (ii) CSSE will execute and deliver to CPE and the JV Entity such further instruments and certificates of conveyance and transfer as CPE may reasonably request in order to more effectively convey and transfer the CSSE Contributed Assets from CSSE to the JV Entity; and (iii) each of the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and execute and deliver such documents and other papers as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(i) any asset of Crackle that was intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was not transferred on the Closing Date (such asset, an “Omitted Crackle Asset”), then, without additional consideration, Crackle will use commercially reasonable efforts (including with respect to procuring any required consent, waiver or approval of any Person) to promptly assign and transfer to the JV Entity all right, title and interest in such Omitted Crackle Asset; and

(ii) any asset of CSSE that was intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was not transferred on the Closing Date (such asset, an “Omitted CSSE Asset”), then, without additional consideration, CSSE will use commercially reasonable efforts (including with respect to procuring any required consent, waiver or approval of any Person), promptly assign and transfer to the JV Entity all right, title and interest in such Omitted CSSE Asset.

(c) If, after the Closing, (i) the JV Entity or, (ii) solely with respect to determinations respecting the CSSE Contributed Assets, CPE, or (iii) solely with respect to determinations respecting the Crackle Contributed Assets, CSSE determines in good faith that any consent, approval or notice is required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that was not obtained or made, as applicable, at or prior to the Closing, then the parties hereto will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make, as applicable, such consent, approval or notice, and the party that would have been responsible for delivering such consent had same been identified prior to Closing shall pay all fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.13(a), above, to the extent that, following Closing, CSSE and CPE mutually determine in good faith that:

(i) any asset of Crackle that was not intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was instead transferred on the Closing Date (such asset, an “Erroneous Crackle Asset”), or that any Assumed Crackle Liability which was intended to be assumed by the JV Entity pursuant to this Agreement was not effectively assumed (“Omitted Crackle Liability”) then, without additional consideration, the JV Entity will promptly assign and transfer back to Crackle (or, to the extent that Crackle has been liquidated or dissolved, to CPE) all right, title and interest in such Erroneous Crackle Asset or assume in all respects such Omitted Crackle Liability, as the case may be; and

(ii) any asset of CSSE that was not intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was instead transferred on the Closing Date (such asset, an “Erroneous CSSE Asset”), or that any Assumed CSSE Liability which was intended to be assumed by the JV Entity pursuant to this Agreement was not effectively assumed (“Omitted CSSE Liability”) then, without additional consideration, the JV Entity will promptly assign and transfer back to CSSE all right, title and interest in such Erroneous CSSE Asset or assume in all respects such Omitted CSSE Liability, as the case may be.

Section 5.15 Patent License.

(a) As of the Closing Date, and conditioned upon the Closing, Crackle hereby grants to the JV Entity an exclusive, non-transferrable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license (the “Patent License Grant”), under each of the Excluded Patents to make, use, sell, and have made, used, and sold, products and services covered by a claim in an Excluded Patent. For the avoidance of doubt, Crackle and each of Crackle’s Affiliates do not grant any license to any other Patent. Furthermore, the Patent License Grant does not include any right to sublicense other than to contractors or third parties acting for and on behalf of the JV Entity.

For so long as Crackle (together with its Affiliates) owns any of the Crackle JV Interest or any of the Common Units into which the Crackle JV Interest may be converted, or fifty percent (50%) or more of the shares of CSSE Preferred Shares into which the Crackle JV Interest may be converted (such period being the “User Data Sharing Period”), and subject to all applicable local, state, federal and international privacy laws and regulations as same are amended, modified, introduced or implemented from time to time, the JV Entity shall provide Crackle and its Affiliates with access to and a copy of all of the consumer user data generated or collected by the JV Entity. At or promptly following Closing, and during the User Data Sharing Period, the JV Entity shall adopt (subject to Crackle’s review and approval) and maintain appropriate privacy disclosure policies that allow for such sharing and use of same by Crackle and its Affiliates as contemplated hereby, including as may be necessary under Applicable Privacy Laws or otherwise advisable, by updating the JV Entity’s privacy policies to disclose such sharing to end users and to obtain end user consent to such sharing. The JV Entity hereby grants Crackle and its Affiliates a perpetual, royalty-free license to use, copy and store all consumer user data provided by the JV Entity to Crackle during the User Data Sharing Period, and to combine such data with other data, for all lawful commercial purposes, including marketing and advertising.

Section 5.17 Additional Registration Rights. It is acknowledged and agreed by CSSE that under the terms of the JV Operating Agreement, Crackle may elect to convert the Crackle JV Interest into CSSE Preferred Shares.

None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms.

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement (if to be performed following the Closing) of CPE or Crackle contained in this Agreement;

(c) any claim against a CSSE Indemnified Person arising under the federal WARN Act or the California WARN Act (collectively, “WARN Liability”) if the CSSE Indemnified Person incurs such WARN Liability as a result of a termination or terminations by Crackle or CPE of an Existing Crackle Employee on or after the Closing Date, or within ninety-one (91) days prior to the Closing Date (each a “CPE Termination); and

(d) any Taxes with respect to Crackle, the Crackle Contributed Assets or the Crackle VOD Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; and

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by CSSE in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by CSSE at the Closing pursuant hereto;

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement (if to be performed following the Closing) of CSSE or the JV Entity contained in this Agreement;

Section 7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) CPE shall have no liability pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (i) with respect to Losses for an individual claim if the amount of such Losses do not exceed two hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($250,000), (ii) except to the extent the aggregate amount of Losses indemnifiable pursuant to such Section exceeds seven hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($750,000) (the “Basket”), and then only in respect of such excess and subject to the other limitations herein provided; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation or breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty based on Fraud by CPE, and (iii) in an aggregate amount greater than (A) Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), or (B) solely resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation, Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000);

A-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provided, however, that no such limitations shall apply to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty based on Fraud by CPE. CPE shall not have liability under this Agreement in an aggregate amount greater than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000).

(b) CSSE shall have no liability pursuant to Section 7.2(b) (i) with respect to Losses for an individual claim if the amount of such Losses do not exceed two hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($250,000), (ii) except to the extent the aggregate amount of Losses indemnifiable pursuant to such Section exceeds the Basket, and then only in respect of such excess and subject to the other limitations herein provided; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation or breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty based on Fraud by CSSE, and (iii) in an aggregate amount greater than (A) Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), or (B) solely resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation, Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000); provided, however, that no such limitations shall apply to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty based on Fraud by CSSE.

Section 7.5 Further Limitations.

(a) For all purposes of this Section 7.5, “Losses” shall be net of any amounts paid or payable to an Indemnified Person under any insurance policy or Contract in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification hereunder, and each Indemnified Person shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to recover all amounts payable from an insurer or other third party under any such insurance policy or Contract prior to seeking indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the amount deemed to be paid under such insurance policies shall be net of the deductible for such policies.

(b) If the amount to be netted hereunder from any indemnification payment required hereunder is determined after payment by an Indemnifying Person to an Indemnified Person of any amount otherwise required to be paid as indemnification pursuant hereto, the Indemnified Person shall repay, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Person would not have had to pay pursuant hereto had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

(c) Notwithstanding the fact that any Indemnified Person may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover the amount of any Loss suffered by such Indemnified Person more than once, regardless of whether such Loss may be as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, obligation or covenant or otherwise. In addition, any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability, or a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, as applicable.

(d) Each Indemnified Person shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Loss, and in the event that it fails to so mitigate an indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Person made such efforts.

(e) The covenants of a party contained in this Agreement may not be used to circumvent the negotiated limitations (e.g., knowledge qualifiers, materiality standards, dollar thresholds, survival periods and the like) contained in the representations and warranties and procedures with respect to the recovery by Indemnified Persons on account of the breach of such representations or warranties.

(f) For the purpose of clarity, even if a representation and warranty of CPE (with respect to the Crackle VOD Business) or CSSE (with respect to the CSSE VOD Business) is not accurate by reason of any means, methods, practices, processes or other manner by which such party operated its business prior to the Closing, such party (as applicable) will not be responsible for post-Closing liabilities arising from operating the JV Entity by using the same means, methods, practices, processes or other manner.

A-41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(g) In lieu of making a cash indemnity payment to any CSSE Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 7.2, notwithstanding anything set forth in this ARTICLE 7, CPE shall have the right to elect, within two (2) Business Days of the date that such payment obligation first becomes established, in its sole and absolute discretion, to:

(i) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date on which Crackle exercises its Put Option or Conversion Right (as each such term is defined in the JV Operating Agreement), cause the JV Entity to cancel a number of Preferred Units held by Crackle equal to the amount of the indemnification payment owed by CPE to such CSSE Indemnified Person, divided by a price per Preferred Unit of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000);

(ii) following the end of the Exercise Period, if Crackle has exercised its Put Option (as such term is defined in the JV Operating Agreement) and received CSSE Preferred Shares, or Crackle has received CSSE Preferred Shares in the Crackle Refund, cause CSSE to cancel a number of shares of CSSE Preferred Shares held by Crackle equal to the amount of the indemnification payment owed by CPE to such CSSE Indemnified Person, divided by a price per share of Twenty Five Dollars ($25); and

(iii) following the end of the Exercise Period, if Crackle has exercised its Conversion Option, and received Common Units, cause the JV Entity to cancel a number of Common Units held by Crackle equal to the amount of the indemnification payment owed by CPE to such CSSE Indemnified Person, divided by a price per Conversion Unit equal to such Conversion Unit’s Fair Market Value (as defined in the JV Operating Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the rights afforded CPE under this clause (g) shall not apply to indemnity payments obligations arising from or related to breaches of Section 2.1 (Authority and Enforceability), Section 3.1 (Organization), Section 3.2 (Authority and Enforceability), or Section 3.23 (Brokers’ Fees).

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnified Persons shall have no right to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to, or based on, Taxes to the extent such Taxes (i) are attributable to any Tax period other than a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (ii) are due to the unavailability in any Tax periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attributes from a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date.

Section 7.6 Third-Party Claim Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which a party (in such capacity, an “Indemnifying Person”) may have liability to any Indemnified Person hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Person by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person shall promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) days following such Indemnified Person’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Person of such Third-Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable, any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto, a reasonably detailed explanation of the events giving rise to such Third-Party Claim and any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to timely give a Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure or as provided in Section 7.1. Thereafter, the Indemnified Person shall deliver to the Indemnifying Person, promptly following the Indemnified Person’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Person relating to the Third-Party Claim.

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Person notifies the Indemnified Person that it elects to defend the Indemnified Person against a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Person by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Person has made such election, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in (but not control) any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at such Indemnified Person’s expense. Whether or not the

A-42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability with respect to, settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Person’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim and is in good faith contesting such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall agree to and cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Person in connection with any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Person may reasonably recommend pursuant to which (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or Contract by the Indemnified Person, and (ii) the sole relief provided to the Third Party is monetary damages that are paid in full by (A) insurance, and/or (B) the Indemnifying Person to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is liable in connection with such Third-Party Claim.

(c) The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third-Party Claim, including by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant books and records, by preserving such books and records and by making employees and representatives available on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

Section 7.7 Direct Claim Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Each Indemnified Person shall assert any claim on account of any Losses as to which an Indemnifying Person may have liability hereunder, and which do not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) by giving the Indemnifying Person written notice thereof reasonably promptly. Such notice by the Indemnified Person shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, include copies of all available material written evidence thereof and indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that the failure to timely give such notice shall not affect the rights of an Indemnified Person hereunder (i) unless such failure has a prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Direct Claim or on the Indemnifying Person’s ability to mitigate such Direct Claim, (ii) unless the indemnification obligations are materially increased as a result of such failure or (iii) as provided in Section 7.1.

(b) In the event the JV Entity has the right to assert a Direct Claim pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, then notwithstanding anything set forth in the JV Operating Agreement, the Member (as such term is defined in the JV Operating Agreement) who is not the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Direct Claim shall have the right to control all decisions of the JV Entity with respect to such Direct Claim, including the assertion and resolution thereof.

(c) In the event the JV Entity has the right to assert a Direct Claim against an Indemnifying Person which Direct Claim arises from or relates to Crackle or CSSE’s failure to contribute any of the Crackle Contributed Assets or the CSSE Contributed Assets as contemplated by Section 1.1(a) or by Section 1.1(d) and Annex H hereof, as applicable, then such Indemnifying Person shall be able to satisfy such indemnification obligation to the JV Entity by contributing, or causing the contribution of, to the JV Entity, any such additional Crackle Contributed Assets or CSSE Contributed Assets (or replacement assets, as permitted by and in compliance with Annex H).

Section 7.8 Investigation by Indemnifying Persons. In connection with any claim pursuant to this ARTICLE 7:

(a) The Indemnified Person shall allow the Indemnifying Person and its financial, accounting or legal advisers to investigate the fact, matter or circumstance alleged to (or which may) give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is or may be payable in respect of such claim.

A-43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) The Indemnified Person shall disclose to the Indemnifying Person all materials of which such Indemnified Person is aware which relate to the claim and shall, and shall cause such Indemnified Person’s Affiliates and Representatives to, provide such information and assistance as the Indemnifying Person or its financial, accounting or legal advisers shall reasonably request, including:

(i) access to premises and personnel (including any employee with knowledge relating to the relevant facts, matters or circumstances or who can otherwise reasonably assist the Indemnifying Person); and

(ii) the right to examine and copy or photograph any relevant assets, accounts, correspondence, documents and records.

Section 7.9 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the rights and remedies of CSSE, Crackle and CPE, and any Indemnified Persons under this ARTICLE 7 are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which CSSE, Crackle or CPE, or any Indemnified Person, may have for breaches under this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not affect the rights, duties or obligations of any Person under any other Transaction Document.

ARTICLE 8

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by written agreement of CSSE and CPE;

(b) by CSSE or CPE, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, on or after May 15, 2019 (the “Outside Date”), if the Closing shall not have occurred, prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that neither party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) at any time during which such party is in material breach of its covenants in this Agreement;

(c) by CSSE, if there has been a material violation or breach by Crackle or CPE of any representation or warranty (or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue in any material respect after the date hereof) or of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which, in either case, would prevent the satisfaction of or result in the failure of any condition to the obligations of CSSE at the Closing and such violation or breach has not been waived by CSSE or, in the case of a breach of any covenant or agreement under this Agreement that is curable, has not been cured (if capable of cure) prior to the earlier to occur of (x) thirty (30) days after receipt by Crackle or CPE, as applicable, of written notice of such breach from CSSE and (y) the Outside Date; provided, however, that CSSE may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) at any time during which CSSE is in material breach of this Agreement; or

(d) by CPE, if there has been a material violation or breach by CSSE of any representation or warranty (or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue in any material respect after the date hereof) or covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which would, in either case, prevent the satisfaction of or result in the failure of any condition to the obligations of CPE at the Closing and such violation or breach has not been waived by CPE or, with respect to a breach of any covenant or agreement under this Agreement that is curable, has not been cured (if capable of cure) by CSSE prior to the earlier to occur of (x) thirty (30) days after receipt by CSSE of written notice of such breach from Crackle or (y) the Outside Date; provided, however, that CPE may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) at any time during which Crackle or a CPE is in material breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no party shall have any liability to the other party or their respective Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, shareholders partners, members, attorneys, accountants, agents, representatives or employees or their heirs, successors and permitted assigns, except for the obligations of the parties contained in Section 5.6, this Section 8.2 and ARTICLE 9 (and any related definitional provisions set forth herein) (which provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement), and except that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve

A-44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

either party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement that arose prior to such termination. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the failure of a party to comply with its obligations to consummate the Closing if and when required hereunder shall be deemed a willful breach of this Agreement if such failure is not cured (if capable of cure) within three (3) Business Days’ notice from the other party. The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Annexes hereto), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. No Person is asserting the truth of any factual statements contained in any representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement; rather, the parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove inaccurate, the other party shall have the specific remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor.

Section 9.3 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by CSSE, Crackle and CPE, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom such waiver is intended to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 9.4 No Assignment or Benefit to Third Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties and any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio; provided, however, that each of CSSE and CPE shall be entitled to assign or delegate this Agreement or all or any part of its rights or obligations hereunder (a) to any one or more of its Affiliates or (b) for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to CSSE or CPE (as applicable). No assignment or delegation shall relieve the assigning or delegating party of any of its obligations hereunder. Except as expressly set forth herein, in Section 5.7, Section 5.11(j), or ARTICLE 7, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than CSSE, Crackle, CPE and the JV Entity, and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights, benefits or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.5 Expenses.

(a) During the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the date on which Crackle exercises its Put Option or Conversion Right (as each such term is defined in the JV Operating Agreement), as applicable, the JV Entity shall, upon (and no later than three (3) Business Days following) Crackle’s written request therefor, refund (the “Crackle Refund”) CPE and Crackle’s reasonable, documented, third-party expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Refunded Amount”), up to a cap of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Refund Cap”). The Crackle Refund shall be paid to Crackle (a) in cash, (b)(i) if the Board reasonably determines that the JV Entity does not have sufficient cash available to make such cash payment and concurrently meet the JV Entity’s working capital needs, or (ii) upon Crackle’s election, in an amount of shares of CSSE’s Series A 9.75% perpetual preferred stock (the “CSSE Preferred Shares”) equal to the lesser of the Refunded Amount and the Refund Cap divided by Twenty-Five Dollars ($25), or (c) upon Crackle’s election, in any combination of cash and CSSE Preferred Shares equal to the lesser of the Refunded Amount and the Refund Cap. If Crackle is issued CSSE Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9.5, such CSSE Preferred Shares shall be subject to the Registration Rights Agreement. Upon, and no later than three (3) Business Days following a cash payment by the JV Entity of the Crackle Refund, the JV Entity shall refund CSSE’s reasonable, documented third-party expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby

A-46

(the “CSSE Refund”) in cash, up to the amount of the lesser of the Refunded Amount and the Refund Cap; provided, in no event will the JV Entity be obligated to pay the CSSE Refund if the Board (including any Crackle-designated member thereof) reasonably determines that the JV Entity does not have sufficient cash available to make such cash payment and concurrently meet the JV Entity’s working capital needs. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.5, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

(b) Promptly upon (and no later than five (5) Business Days following) receipt of the invoice from PricewaterhouseCoopers, CPE will submit a reimbursement request to CSSE in an amount equal to and with a due date coinciding with such invoice. CSSE shall, upon receipt of such reimbursement request, refund the amount indicated therein in cash on or prior to the due date set forth therein.

(a) The “CPE Disclosure Schedule” means that certain document identified as the CPE Disclosure Schedules, dated as of the date hereof (as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof), delivered by Crackle and CPE to CSSE and the JV Entity in connection with this Agreement and which: (i) sets forth the information specifically described in certain of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 2 and ARTICLE 3 and (b) sets forth exceptions or qualifications to the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 2 and ARTICLE 3. It is specifically acknowledged that the CPE Disclosure Schedule may expressly provide exceptions to a particular Section of ARTICLE 2 and ARTICLE 3 notwithstanding that the Section does not state “except as set forth in Section ‘__’ of the CPE Disclosure Schedule” or words of similar effect.

(b) The “CSSE Disclosure Schedule” means that certain document identified as the CSSE Disclosure Schedules, dated as of the date hereof (as may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof), delivered by CSSE to Crackle, CPE and the JV Entity in connection with this Agreement and which: (i) sets forth the information specifically described in certain of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 4 and (b) sets forth exceptions or qualifications to the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE 4. It is specifically acknowledged that the CSSE Disclosure Schedule may expressly provide exceptions to a particular Section of ARTICLE 4 notwithstanding that the Section does not state “except as set forth in Section ‘__’ of the CSSE Disclosure Schedule” or words of similar effect.

(c) For purpose of this Section 9.6, “Disclosure Schedule” refers to the CPE Disclosure Schedule or the CSSE Disclosure Schedule as the case may be, and “Material Adverse Effect” refers to a “Crackle Material Adverse Effect” or “CSSE Material Adverse Effect” as the case may be. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to vary the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” or to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Each Section of each Disclosure Schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to specific provisions of this Agreement and does not constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties or covenants of any party, except as and to the extent provided in this

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Agreement. Certain matters set forth in each Disclosure Schedule are included for informational purposes only notwithstanding that, because they do not rise above applicable materiality thresholds or otherwise, they may not be required by the terms of this to be set forth herein. All attachments to the Disclosure Schedule are incorporated by reference into the Section of the Disclosure Schedule in which they are referenced.

(e) Crackle and CPE, on one hand, and CSSE, on the other hand, may, from time to time prior to or at the Closing, by notice to the other parties hereto, supplement, amend or create any Section of the applicable Disclosure Schedule, in order to add information or correct previously supplied information. No such supplement, amendment or addition shall be evidence, in and of itself, that the representations and warranties in the corresponding Section are no longer true and correct in all material respects. It is specifically agreed that each Disclosure Schedule may be supplemented, amended and/or added to, to add immaterial, as well as material, items thereto. No such supplement, amendment or addition shall be deemed to cure any breach for purposes of Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(a). If, however, the Closing occurs, any such supplement, amendment or addition will be effective to cure and correct for all other purposes any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty, or covenant which would have existed if such supplement, amendment or addition had not been made, and all references to any part of the Disclosure Schedule which is supplemented or amended shall for all purposes after the Closing be deemed to be a reference to the Disclosure Schedule as so supplemented or amended. In such case, a party shall be deemed to have waived any and all rights, remedies or other recourse to which such party might otherwise be entitled in respect of such breach or inaccuracy.

Section 9.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of such state.

The Arbitrator shall be a retired judge with at least ten (10) years of experience in commercial matters.

(b) The Arbitrator’s fees shall be split equally between the parties and each party shall be responsible for the payment of its own costs, attorneys’ fees, expert fees and all of its other fees, costs and expenses in connection with any arbitration, unless the Arbitrator finds that a party proceeded in bad faith, in which case the Arbitrator may award fees or costs in the exercise of discretion.

(c) The parties shall be entitled to conduct discovery as the Arbitrator authorizes as reasonable under all of the circumstances, based on findings that the material sought is relevant to the issues in dispute and that the nature and scope of such discovery is reasonable under all the circumstances. Such discovery ordered by the Arbitrator shall be limited to depositions and production of documents.

(d) There shall be a record of the proceedings at the arbitration hearing and the Arbitrator shall issue a Statement of Decision setting forth its factual and legal basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if another period is expressly stated. All Schedules and Annexes attached hereto or referred to herein are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

Section 9.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts (any of which counterparts may be delivered by facsimile, portable document format (pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (including DocuSign)), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties.

Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers, will be disregarded in determining a party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

It is accordingly agreed that, without posting a bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party hereto will allege, and each party hereto hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 9.13, a party hereto shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party hereto under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 9.13 shall require any party hereto to institute any action for (or limit such party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 9.13 before exercising any other right under this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Certain Waivers. CSSE acknowledges and agrees that a CPE Indemnified Person may from time to time waive or excuse breaches or defaults by the JV Entity with respect to any obligations under Section 1.2(c) of this Agreement and refrain from enforcing any or all of its rights or remedies with respect thereto from time to time available to it hereunder; and as a result of any or all of the foregoing, any rights of CSSE in the nature of subrogation or other claims upon or following any exercise by a CPE Indemnified Person of any of its rights or remedies hereunder with respect to Section 1.2(c), may be unavailable to CSSE, or may have been destroyed, or may otherwise be impaired, diminished or curtailed.

agrees not to assert any right or claim of offset, setoff, reduction, modification or exoneration of or against its obligations pursuant to Section 1.2(c), based upon any event or matter described in the preceding sentence, or any other event or matter, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the events or matters described in the preceding sentence, upon which CSSE might otherwise base any such claim, defense, or excuse, or right of offset, setoff, reduction, modification or exoneration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CSSE hereby expressly waives (a) pursuant to Section 2856(a)(1) of the Civil Code of the State of California, all of CSSE’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to CSSE by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the Civil Code of the State of California, (b) pursuant to Section 2856(a)(2) of the Civil Code of the State of California, all rights and defenses arising out of any election of remedies by a CPE Indemnified Person, even if any such election of remedies has destroyed or impaired any right or claim of subrogation and/or reimbursement that might otherwise have been available to CSSE, (c) notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by any Person, (d) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the JV Entity or of any other fact that might increase CSSE’s risk hereunder, and (e) notice of demand for payment or performance, or notice of default or nonpayment or nonperformance, under this Agreement or otherwise, in respect of the obligations of the JV Entity for which CSSE may be liable pursuant to Section 1.2(c).

Section 2.07 No State-Law Partnership. The Members intend that the Company shall not be a partnership (including a limited partnership) or joint venture, and that no Member, Manager, or Officer of the Company shall be a partner or joint venturer of any other Member, Manager or Officer of the Company, for any purposes other than as set forth in Section 11.03.

Section 2.08 Foreign Qualification. The Board shall cause the Company to comply with all requirements necessary to qualify the Company as a foreign limited liability company in California promptly after the date hereof and thereafter in any other jurisdiction in which the Company owns property or transacts business to the extent, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, such qualification or registration is necessary or advisable for the protection of the limited liability of the Members or to permit the Company lawfully to own property or transact business. The Board may execute, acknowledge, swear to, and deliver any and all certificates and other instruments conforming with this Agreement that are necessary or appropriate to qualify, continue, or terminate the Company as a foreign limited liability company in all such jurisdictions in which the Company may conduct business.

Section 2.09 Doing Business in California. The Members acknowledge that the Company will be registered to do business in California. Effective January 1, 2014, the California Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, as set forth in the California Corporation Code, Sections 17701.01 et seq., as may be amended from time to time (the “California Act”), applies to all new and existing foreign limited liability companies that are registered with the California Secretary of State.

The Members desire for the California Act to apply as narrowly as possible and for the Act to apply as broadly as possible to determine all matters affecting the Company and its Members. The foregoing four concepts listed in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above shall be governed by the Act and broadly construed to carry out the agreements, desires and expectations of the parties hereto.

MEMBERSHIP UNITS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

Section 3.01 Membership Units. The Membership Interest of each of the Members of the Company shall be represented by a number of “Units.”

Section 3.02 Classes of Units. There shall be two classes of Units, designated as “Preferred Units” and “Common Units.” Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, only Members holding Common Units shall have the right to share in the Net Income and Net Loss of the Company as provided in this Agreement and the right to receive distributions from the Company as provided in this Agreement, except in cases of distributions made upon liquidation or winding up of the Company. Holders of Common Units and Preferred Units shall have (i) the right to receive distributions from the Company upon any liquidation or winding up of the Company, with distributions made first to the holders of the Preferred Units until their Preferred Liquidation Preference is satisfied, and then to the holders of the Common Units as further provided herein, and (ii) the right to receive information concerning the business and affairs of the Company.

B-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Contributions to the Company (“Initial Capital Contributions”) in exchange for the Membership Interest, as represented by Preferred Units and/or Common Units, in the amount set forth opposite such Initial Member’s name on Schedule A attached hereto:

(i) the contribution by CSSE and its Affiliates of the CSSE Contributed Assets (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) and the granting of the CSSE Trademark License Agreement (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); and

(ii) the contribution by the Preferred Member and its Affiliates of the Crackle Contributed Assets (as defined in the Contribution Agreement).

(b) The Board shall update Schedule A attached hereto upon the issuance or Transfer of any Membership Interest to any new or existing Member in accordance with this Agreement, to reflect any Cram-Down Contribution in accordance with Section 3.04(d), or as otherwise required by the terms hereof.

Section 3.04 Funding of the Company; Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) Unless approved by the Board with Supermajority Approval if then required or otherwise set forth below in this Section 3.04(a), no additional Membership Interests shall be issued in connection with any Capital Contribution or otherwise during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) the Conversion Closing Date under Section 9.04 of this Agreement and (ii) the Put Closing Date under Section 9.03 of this Agreement (the “Initial Funding Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such Initial Funding Period, CSSE hereby agrees, and shall be entitled, to provide or obtain all necessary funding for the Company in order to ensure the Company has sufficient working capital to operate efficiently, conduct its business as contemplated hereunder and meet its obligations, whether through secured or unsecured loans of the Company, lines of credit against the Company’s receivables, or the issuance of equity interests of the Company or other instruments made by the Company; provided that any equity interests or instruments issued by the Company in connection with such funding shall in no way dilute the equity interest (based on Common Units, including those into which the Preferred Units may be converted) or the Preferred Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Member.

(b) In addition to their Initial Capital Contributions and any Capital Contributions of CSSE during the Initial Funding Period pursuant to Section 3.04(a), subject to approval by the Board with any required Supermajority Approval then required, the Common Members shall make additional Capital Contributions in cash, in proportion to their respective Common Units, as determined by the Board with Supermajority Approval if then required from time to time to be reasonably necessary to pay any operating, capital or other expenses relating to the Business (such additional Capital Contributions, the “Additional Capital Contributions”). Upon the Board making such determination to call for Additional Capital Contributions, the Board shall deliver to the Common Members a written notice of the Company’s need for Additional Capital Contributions, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail (i) the purpose for such Additional Capital Contributions, (ii) the aggregate amount of such Additional Capital Contributions, (iii) each Common Member’s pro rata share of such aggregate amount of Additional Capital Contributions (based upon such Common Member’s Percentage Interest), and (iv) the date (which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days following the date that such notice is given) on which such Additional Capital Contributions shall be required to be made by the Members.

(c) If any Common Member shall fail to timely make, or notifies the Company that it shall not make, all or any portion of any Additional Capital Contribution that such Common Member is obligated to make under Section 3.04(b), then such Common Member shall be deemed to be a “Non-Contributing Member.” Any other Common Member that is not in default of its obligations under Section 3.04(b) (a “Contributing Member”) shall be entitled, but not obligated, to loan to the Non-Contributing Member, by contributing to the Company on its behalf, all or any part of the amount (the “Default Amount”) that the Non-Contributing Member failed to contribute to the Company (each such loan, a “Default Loan”). Such Default Loan shall be treated as an Additional Capital Contribution by the Non-Contributing Member. Each Default Loan shall bear interest

B-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(compounded monthly on the first day of each calendar month) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time remaining from the date advanced until repaid, at the lesser of (i) 10% per annum and (ii) the maximum rate permitted at law (the “Default Rate”). Each Default Loan shall be recourse debt solely to the Non-Contributing Member’s Membership Interest. Default Loans shall be repaid out of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Non-Contributing Member under Section 6.01, Section 6.02 or Article XII, as more fully provided for in Section 3.04(d). So long as a Default Loan is outstanding, the Non-Contributing Member shall have the right to repay it (together with interest then due and owing) in whole or in part. Upon a repayment in full of a Default Loan made to a Non-Contributing Member (prior to its conversion pursuant to a Cram-Down Contribution in accordance with Section 3.04(d)), such Non-Contributing Member (so long as it is not otherwise a Non-Contributing Member with respect to any other Additional Capital Contributions) shall cease to be a Non-Contributing Member. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Preferred Member be obligated to make an Additional Capital Contribution or be deemed to be a Non-Contributing Member unless such Additional Capital Contribution and capital call have been approved by the Board with Supermajority Approval.

(d) At any time commencing three months after a Default Loan is made, at the option of the Contributing Member, (i) the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to have received a distribution, pursuant to Section 6.01, of an amount equal to the unpaid principal and interest on such Default Loan, (ii) such distribution shall be deemed paid to the Contributing Member in repayment of the Default Loan, (iii) such amount shall be deemed contributed by the Contributing Member as an Additional Capital Contribution (a “Cram-Down Contribution”) and (iv) the Contributing Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by, and the Non-Contributing Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by, an amount equal to the unpaid principal and interest on such Default Loan. A Cram-Down Contribution shall be deemed an Additional Capital Contribution by the Contributing Member making (or deemed making) such Cram-Down Contribution as of the date such Cram-Down Contribution is made or the date on which such Default Loan is converted to a Cram-Down Contribution. At the time of a Cram-Down Contribution, the Percentage Interest of the Contributing Member shall be increased proportionally by the amount of such contribution, thereby diluting the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member, and the Board shall update Schedule A hereto accordingly without the need for any consent or approval by the Members. Once a Cram-Down Contribution has been made (or deemed made), (x) no subsequent payment or tender in respect of the Cram-Down Contribution shall affect the Membership Interests of the Members, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.04(d) and (y) the Non-Contributing Member as to which the Cram-Down Contribution is made (or deemed made) shall (so long as it is not otherwise a Non-Contributing Member with respect to any other Additional Capital Contributions) cease to be a Non-Contributing Member.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any amount that otherwise would be paid or distributed to a Non-Contributing Member pursuant to Section 6.01, Section 6.02 or Article XII shall not be paid to the Non-Contributing Member but shall be deemed paid and applied on behalf of such Non-Contributing Member (i) first, to accrued and unpaid interest on all Default Loans (in the order of their original maturity date), (ii) second, to the principal amount of such Default Loans (in the order of their original maturity date) and (iii) third, to any Additional Capital Contribution of such Non-Contributing Member that has not been paid and is not deemed to have been paid.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Non-Contributing Member fails to make its Additional Capital Contribution in accordance with Section 3.04(b), without limitation of any other available rights or remedies under this Section 3.04 the Contributing Member may:

(i) institute proceedings against the Non-Contributing Member, either in the Contributing Member’s own name or on behalf of the Company, to obtain payment of the Non-Contributing Member’s portion of the Additional Capital Contribution, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date that such Additional Capital Contribution was due until the date that such Additional Capital Contribution is made, at the cost and expense of the Non-Contributing Member; or

(ii) purchase the Membership Interest of the Non-Contributing Member at a price equal to 50% of the lesser of (i) the price paid by the Non-Contributing Member for its Membership Interest and (ii) the Fair Market Value of its Membership Interest.

(g) Except as set forth in this Section 3.04 or Section 3.08, no Member shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions or make loans to the Company.

Section 3.05 Issuance of Additional Membership Interests.

(a) Subject to the approval of the Board, including any required Supermajority Approval, and Section 3.04(a), the Company may issue (a) additional Membership Interests, as represented by either Common Units or Preferred Units, and/or create and issue new series, types or classes of equity interests, including preferred interest, in the Company with such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as the Board may determine and authorize, (b) obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or interests of the Company convertible or exchangeable into Membership Interests or other equity interests in the Company and (c) warrants, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Membership Interests or other equity interests in the Company, in each case to any Person in such amounts and on such terms as so approved by the Board.

(b) Each Member shall have a preemptive right to participate in any issuance of new Units (including securities or debt convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Units) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue to any Person or Persons (each, a “Proposed Issuance”); provided that such issuance does not fall within the exclusions described in Section 3.05(c). In the event the Company proposes to undertake a Proposed Issuance, then, with respect to each such Proposed Issuance, the Company shall give each of the Members a written notice of its intention (the “Issuance Notice”), describing (a) the quantity of new Units to be issued, (b) the price and the general terms (including the proposed acquiror(s)) upon which the Company proposes to make such Proposed Issuance and (c) the number of new Units such Member shall have a right to purchase, which number shall be equal to the total number of new Units to be issued multiplied by the pro rata portion of all of the Company’s Units then held by such Member (calculated on a deemed as-converted basis with any Preferred Units held by such Member deemed to be converted to the appropriate number of Common Units in accordance with Section 9.04(e) for purposes of such calculation). The Members shall only be obligated to pay cash for the new Units in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of any consideration that is a term of the Proposed Issuance. Each of the Members shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the Issuance Notice to agree, by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein its election to purchase all or any portion of the total new Units allocated to such Member for the price and upon the terms applicable to the Proposed Issuance (any Member electing to exercise its preemptive right by providing such notice, the “Participating Member”). If any such Member fails to deliver such notice within such twenty (20) day period, it shall be deemed not to have exercised its preemptive right under this Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Proposed Issuance. In the event that any Member elects not to purchase all of such Member’s allocated portion of the new Units or is deemed not to exercise its preemptive rights, the Participating Members shall have the right to purchase, for a subsequent ten (10) day period, their respective pro rata portions of any non-participating Member’s allotment pursuant to this Section that a non- participating Member did not elect to purchase. The Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the exercise periods set forth above, issue the remaining unsubscribed portion of the Proposed Issuance at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those specified in, the Issuance Notice.

(c) The provisions of Section 3.05(b) shall not be applicable to any Units and Units deemed issued pursuant to the following options and convertible securities: (i) Units, options or convertible securities issued as a dividend, recapitalization, split, split-up, or distribution on Units; (ii) Units or convertible securities actually issued upon the exercise of options or the conversion or exchange of convertible securities, in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of options or convertible or exchangeable securities which are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, (iii) any

Conversion Units issued upon conversion of the Preferred Units; and (iv) Units, options or other securities issued in connection with a conversion of the Company to a corporation or other legal form that is approved with Supermajority Approval. If the Company consummates an Initial Public Offering, the terms of Section 3.05(b) shall terminate immediately prior, and shall not apply, to the Initial Public Offering.

Section 3.06 Maintenance of Capital Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain for each Member a separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) on its books and records in accordance with this Section 3.06. Each Capital Account shall be established and maintained in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by the amount of:

(i) such Member’s Capital Contributions, including such Member’s Initial Capital Contribution and any Additional Capital Contributions;

(ii) any Net Income or other item of income or gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Article V; and

(iii) any liabilities of the Company that are assumed by such Member or secured by any property distributed to such Member.

(i) the cash amount or Book Value of any property distributed to such Member pursuant to Article VI and Section 12.03(c);

(ii) the amount of any Net Loss or other item of loss or deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Article V; and

In the event that any Membership Interest is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred Membership Interest and, subject to Section 5.04, shall receive allocations and distributions pursuant to Article V, Article VI and Article XII in respect of such Membership Interest.

Section 3.08 Negative Capital Accounts. In the event that any Member shall have a deficit balance in its Capital Account, such Member shall have no obligation, including during the Term or upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to restore such negative balance or make any Capital Contributions to the Company by reason thereof, except as may be required by Applicable Law or in respect of any negative balance resulting from a withdrawal of capital or dissolution in contravention of this Agreement.

Section 3.09 No Withdrawals from Capital Accounts. No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Company, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. No Member shall receive any interest, salary, management or service fees, or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its Capital Account, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any JV Agreement. The Capital Accounts are maintained for the sole purpose of allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members and shall have no effect on the amount of any distributions to any Members, in liquidation or otherwise.

Section 3.10 Loans from Members. Loans by any Member to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions and shall not affect the maintenance of such Member’s Capital Account, other than to the extent provided in Section 3.04 and Section 3.06, if applicable.

Section 3.11 Modifications. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury

Regulations. If the Board determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases to the Capital Accounts, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Board may authorize such modifications.

(a) Net Income shall be allocated among the Members in the following order of priority:

(i) first, cumulatively to offset in reverse order any Net Loss not previously offset under this clause (i) that was allocated to the Members under Section 5.01(b)(ii);

B-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) second, to the Preferred Member until the Preferred Member has been allocated a cumulative amount of Net Income pursuant to this Section 5.01(a)(ii) (and not offset pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(i)) equal to the aggregate amount of the Preferred Return to which the Preferred Member is entitled at the time of such allocation; and

(iii) third, to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Net Loss shall be allocated among the Members in the following order of priority:

(i) first, cumulatively to offset in reverse order any Net Income not previously offset under this clause (i) that was allocated to the Members under Section 5.01(a)(ii) and (iii); and

(ii) second, to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 5.02 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01:

(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.02 is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Net Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.02(b) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their proportionate Capital Account balances.

(d) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), Net Income shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 5.02(d) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Income and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 5.03 Tax Allocations.

(a) Subject to Section 5.03(b), Section 5.03(c) and Section 5.03(d), all income, gains, losses and deductions of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses and deductions pursuant to Section 5.01 and Section 5.02, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by

B-19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Code or other Applicable Law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses and deductions shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other Applicable Law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth in Section 5.01 and Section 5.02.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with any reasonable method permitted by the Treasury Regulations pursuant to Code Section 704(c) as determined in consultation with the Preferred Member Managers, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value.

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as provided in clause (c) of the definition of Book Value in Section 1.01, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).

(d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

(e) Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.03 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.04 Allocations in Respect of Transferred Membership Interests. In the event of a Transfer of a Common Unit during any Fiscal Year made in compliance with the provisions of Article IX, Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company attributable to such Common Unit for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using the interim closing of the books method.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.01 General.

(a) Subject to the obligations relating to the Preferred Liquidation Preference, any available cash of the Company (other than cash from a Capital Transaction, which shall be distributed pursuant to Article XII), after allowance for payment of all Company obligations then due and payable, including debt service, operating expenses and such other reasonable reserves as the Board, with Supermajority Approval, may determine, shall be eligible for distribution as determined by the Board on at least an annual basis, with any such distribution to Common Members made pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distributions shall be made under this Section 6.01 during the Initial Funding Period.

(b) If a Member has (i) an unpaid Additional Capital Contribution that is overdue or (ii) an outstanding Default Loan due to another Member, any amount that otherwise would be distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 6.01, Section 6.02 or Article XII (up to the amount of such unpaid Additional Capital Contribution or outstanding Default Loan, together with interest accrued thereon) shall not be paid to such Member but shall be deemed distributed to such Member and applied on behalf of it pursuant to Section 3.04(e).

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any distribution to the Members if such distribution would violate § 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other Applicable Law or if such distribution is prohibited by the Company’s then-applicable debt-financing agreements.

B-20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 6.02 Tax Distributions.

(a) Subject to Section 6.01(b) and Section 6.01(c), at least ten (10) days before each date prescribed by the Code for a calendar-year corporation to pay quarterly installments of estimated tax, the Company shall distribute cash to each Member in proportion to and to the extent of such Member’s Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for the applicable calendar quarter (each such distribution, a “Tax Distribution”) taking into account taxable losses allocated to such Member in respect of prior calendar years and not previously taken into account under this definition to the extent such loss would be available under the Code to offset income of such Member (or as appropriate, the direct or indirect partners, members, or shareholders of such Member) determined as if income and loss from the Company were the only income and loss of such Member (or as appropriate, the direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders of such Members) in such calendar year and all prior calendar years.

(b) If, at any time after the final Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount has been distributed pursuant to Section 6.02(a) with respect to any Fiscal Year, the aggregate Tax Distributions to any Member with respect to such Fiscal Year are less than such Member’s Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (a “Shortfall Amount”), the Company shall distribute cash in proportion to and to the extent of such Member’s Shortfall Amount. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute Shortfall Amounts with respect to a Fiscal Year before the seventy-fifth (75th) day of the next succeeding Fiscal Year; provided, that if the Company has made distributions in such next succeeding Fiscal Year other than pursuant to this Section 6.02, the Board may apply such distributions to reduce any Shortfall Amount.

(c) If the aggregate Tax Distributions made to any Member pursuant to this Section 6.02 for any Fiscal Year exceed such Member’s Tax Amount (an “Excess Amount”), such Excess Amount shall reduce subsequent Tax Distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to this Section 6.02.

(d) All Tax Distributions made to the Members in respect of a taxable year will be treated as advances on distributions under Section 6.01, thereby reducing future distributions under Section 6.01 or, if necessary, reducing liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 12.03(c)(v).

Section 6.03 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.

(a) Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall be reasonably requested by the Board to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.

(b) The Company is hereby authorized at all times to make payments (“Withholding Advances”) with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company (as determined by the Partnership Representative based on the advice of legal or tax counsel to the Company) to withhold or make payments to any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (a “Taxing Authority”) with respect to any distribution or allocation by the Company of income or gain to such Member and to withhold the same from distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a distribution by reason of this Section 6.03(b) shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) Any Withholding Advance made by the Company to a Taxing Authority on behalf of a Member and not simultaneously withheld from a distribution to that Member shall, with interest thereon accruing from the date of payment at a rate equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of payment plus two percent (2.0%) per annum (the “Company Interest Rate”):

(i) be promptly repaid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made (which repayment by the Member shall not constitute a Capital Contribution, but shall credit the Member’s Capital Account if the Board shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account); or

B-21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) with the consent of the Board (not including, for purposes of such vote any Managers appointed by the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance has been made), be repaid by reducing the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions to be made to such Member (which reduction amount shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Member, but which shall not further reduce the Member’s Capital Account if the Board shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account).

Interest shall cease to accrue from the time the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made repays such Withholding Advance (and all accrued interest) by either method of repayment described above.

(d) Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties that may be asserted by reason of the Company’s failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Member, including with respect to any “imputed underpayment” pertaining to the Company within the meaning of Code Section 6225. The provisions of this Section 6.03(d) and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 6.03(c) shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or Transfer of its Membership Interest. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 6.03, including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.

(e) Neither the Company nor any Manager shall be liable for any excess taxes withheld in respect of any distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority.

Section 6.04 Distributions in Kind. No Member has the right to demand or receive property other than cash in payment for its share of any distribution made in accordance with this Agreement. Except as set out in Section 12.03(d), non-cash distributions are not permitted, unless approved by the Board.

Section 6.05 Liquidation. In the event of the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its Members shall be distributed as set forth in Section 12.03.

(e) Each Member shall take all necessary action to carry out fully the provisions of Section 7.02 and the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.03 to ensure that the Board and the board of directors or managers or other governing body of any Subsidiary consists of the Managers that are duly appointed in accordance with such sections.

Section 7.04 Meetings.

(a) Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at least every four months (i.e., three times during each full calendar year) at such dates and times as the Board may designate. Special meetings of the Board may be called at any time by the Chairperson and shall be called by the Chairperson at the written request of any Manager who makes such request in good faith. Meetings of the Board may be held either in person at the executive office of the Company or by telephone or video conference or other communication device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other.

(b) Written notice of a meeting of the Board or any Committee stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be given to each Manager by telephone, electronic mail or facsimile no less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting; provided that, in the case of a special meeting, the Chairperson or the Manager requesting the meeting may reduce the advance notice period to not less than three (3) Business Days if the Chairperson or such Manager determines, acting reasonably and in good faith, that it is necessary and in the best interests of the Company for the Board to take action within a time period of less than ten (10) days. Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing by any Manager. Presence at a meeting shall constitute waiver of any deficiency of notice under this Section 7.04(b), except when a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not called or convened in accordance with this Agreement and does not otherwise attend the meeting.

(c) The Secretary of the Company (or the Chairperson, if there is no Secretary) shall circulate to each Manager an agenda for each regular meeting not less than two (2) Business Days in advance of such meeting. In the case of a regular meeting, such agenda shall include a discussion of the financial

B-23

reports most recently delivered pursuant to Section 11.01 and any other matters that a Manager may reasonably request to be included on such agenda. In the case of a special meeting, the agenda for such meeting shall be established by the Chairperson, shall, if applicable, include any matters specified by the Manager requesting such meeting, and shall be provided to each Manager at the time such special meeting is called.

(d) The decisions and resolutions of the Board and any Committee thereof shall be recorded in minutes, which shall state the date, time and place of the meeting (or the date of any written consent in lieu of a meeting), the Managers present at the meeting, the resolutions put to a vote (or the subject of a written consent) and the results of such voting or written consent. The minutes shall be entered in a minute book kept at the principal office of the Company and a copy of the minutes of each Board and Committee meeting shall be provided promptly to each Manager and Member.

Section 7.05 Quorum; Manner of Acting; Supermajority Approval.

(a) The presence in person or by proxy of a number of Managers equal to a majority of the total number of Managers serving on the Board shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at any meeting of the Board; provided that, in order to constitute a quorum, (i) at least one of the Managers present in person or by proxy must be a Common Member Manager and (ii) at least one of the Managers present in person or by proxy must be a Preferred Member Manager. If such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board (a “Suspended Meeting”), the Managers present shall adjourn the meeting and promptly give notice to the Managers of when it shall be reconvened (a “Reconvened Meeting”), which notice shall include a copy of the notice and agenda originally given with respect to such Suspended Meeting and, if applicable, specify in writing that the Board has invoked the procedures with respect to such Reconvened Meeting set forth in the following sentence. If such notice is given and the Reconvened Meeting is held at least 48 hours after the Suspended Meeting at which a quorum was not present, then, at such Reconvened Meeting, the presence in person or by proxy of at least any two Managers shall be sufficient for a quorum to be present; provided, however, that (x) the only business that may be conducted at such Reconvened Meeting is the business specifically set forth in the original agenda for the Suspended Meeting and (y) no action that requires Supermajority Approval under Section 7.05(e) may be taken at such Reconvened Meeting unless a Preferred Member Manager is present and such action is approved in accordance with Section 7.05(e).

(b) Any Manager may participate in a meeting of the Board or any Committee by telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. A Manager may vote or be present at a meeting either in person or by proxy in accordance with Section 7.05(d).

(c) Each Manager shall have one vote on all matters submitted to the Board or any Committee; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without limitation of any other rights or remedies that may be available, if a Member is a Defaulting Member, any Managers appointed by it shall cease to have any voting rights on any matters voted on by the Board and any decision that requires the vote or approval of Managers appointed by such Defaulting Member shall be made without regard to such Managers or any requirement to obtain the vote or approval of such Managers. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including Section 7.05(e)), the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers in attendance at any meeting of the Board or any Committee at which a quorum is present shall be required to authorize any action by the Board or Committee and shall constitute the action of the Board or Committee for all purposes.

(d) Each Manager may authorize another individual (who may or may not be a Manager, but who shall be an officer or employee of the Member that appointed such Manager or an Affiliate of such Member) to act for such Manager by proxy at any meeting of the Board or any Committee, or to express consent or dissent to a Company action in writing without a meeting. Any such proxy may be granted in writing, by Electronic Transmission or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for so long as the Preferred Member (together with its Affiliates) holds at least 25% of the Units held by the Preferred Member on the date of this Agreement (calculated on a deemed as-converted basis with the Preferred Units deemed to be

Section 7.06 Action by Written Consent. Any action of the Board or any Committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is signed unanimously by all the Managers (or the Managers comprising the Committee, as applicable). Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote at a meeting where a quorum was present and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State.

Section 7.07 Compensation; No Employment.

(a) Each Manager shall serve without compensation in his capacity as such. Each Manager shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for his reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of his duties as a Manager, pursuant to such policies as may from time to time be established by the Board.

(b) This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any Manager any rights with respect to employment by the Company, and nothing herein should be construed to have created any employment agreement or relationship with any Manager.

Section 7.08 Chairperson of the Board. The Board may appoint any one of the Common Member Managers to act as Chairperson of the Board (“Chairperson”) and preside at all meetings of the Board at which he is present, subject to the ultimate authority of the Board to appoint an alternate presiding chairperson at any meeting. The initial Chairperson of the Board shall be William J. Rouhana, Jr. For the avoidance of doubt, a Manager shall not be considered to be an officer of the Company by virtue of holding the position of Chairperson and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not have any rights or powers different from any other Manager other than with respect to any procedural matters to the extent delegated by the Board or as expressly set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that any procedural rights or powers granted to the Chairperson shall not be in derogation of any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to any Preferred Member Manager.

Section 7.09 Committees.

(a) The Board may designate from among the Managers one or more committees of the Board (each, a “Committee”), each of which shall be comprised of at least one (1) Common Member Manager and one (1) Preferred Member Manager. Any such Committee, to the extent provided in the resolution forming such Committee, shall have and may exercise the authority of the Board, as limited by Section 7.05(e). The Board may dissolve any Committee at any time.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the resolution initially establishing such Committee, the presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the Managers shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at any meeting of such Committee; provided that, in order to constitute a quorum (i) at least one (1) of the Managers on such Committee present in person or by proxy must be a Common Member Manager and (ii) at least one (1) of the Managers on such Committee present in

B-26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

person or by proxy must be a Preferred Member Manager. Except as otherwise provided in the resolution adopting such Committee, actions of any Committee shall be made and determined in accordance with Section 7.05(b), Section 7.05(c) and Section 7.05(d). Notice of Committee meetings shall be given to each member of the Committee in the manner provided in Section 7.04(b).

Section 7.10 Officers. The Board shall appoint individuals as officers of the Company (the “Officers”) as it deems necessary or desirable to carry on the business of the Company and the Board may delegate to such Officers such powers and authorities as the Board deems advisable. The initial Officers of the Company shall be the persons listed on Schedule B in the offices designated therein. No Officer need be a Member or Manager. Any individual may hold two or more offices of the Company. Each Officer shall hold office until his successor is designated by the Board or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Any Officer may resign at any time on written notice to the Board. Any Officer may be removed by the Board with or without cause at any time. A vacancy in any office occurring because of death, resignation, removal or otherwise, may, but need not, be filled by the Board. The Officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Members fiduciary duties of the type owed by the officers of a Delaware corporation to the stockholders of such corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 7.11 No Personal Liability. Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or by Applicable Law, no Manager will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Manager.

Section 7.12 Budget. At least sixty (60) days before the beginning of each Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2020), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall prepare and submit to the Board a proposed budget (“Budget”) for such upcoming Fiscal Year. The Board shall review, modify and approve the Budget after giving the Preferred Member Managers a reasonable opportunity to provide meaningful consultation on the Budget.

Section 7.13 Other Activities; Business Opportunities. Except as expressly provided in the JV Agreements, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any Member or any of its Affiliates from engaging in any other activities or businesses, regardless of whether those activities or businesses are similar to or competitive with the Business. None of the Members nor any of their Affiliates shall be obligated to account to the Company or to the other Member for any profits or income earned or derived from other such activities or businesses. Except as otherwise provided in JV Agreements, none of the Members nor any of their Affiliates shall be obligated to inform the Company or the other Member of any business opportunity of any type or description.

Section 7.14 Claims Under JV Agreements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a breach by a Member or its Affiliate of an obligation owed under any JV Agreement, the other Member, so long as it is not a Defaulting Member, shall be entitled to assert a claim for and enforce, at the Company’s reasonable expense, such obligation on behalf of the Company, pursue on behalf of the Company all remedies available to it in respect of such breach, and control all decisions of the Company with respect to such any such claim. The Company shall cooperate and comply with any reasonable instructions received from the Member enforcing the rights of the Company in connection with any of the foregoing actions. The Member exercising any rights pursuant to this Section 7.14 agrees to promptly reimburse the Company for any expenses advanced by it to such Member or incurred by the Company in connection with such claim if it is not successful.

Section 7.15 Code of Conduct. The Board shall adopt a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of its executive officers, managers, and employees.

Section 7.16 Sony Marks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Common Members acknowledge and agree that Sony Corporation is entitled under the TMLA to suspend or terminate the use of any or all Sony Marks (each as hereinafter defined), at its sole discretion in accordance with the terms of the TMLA upon notice to the Company, without any liability to any third party, including the Common Members and the Company. In the event that Sony Corporation, or any designee thereof, exercises such right to suspend or terminate the Company’s use of any Sony Mark as described in the foregoing sentence or otherwise under the TMLA, the Common Members shall (i) agree to and approve such suspension or termination and the taking of any other actions necessary to effect such

B-27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

suspension or termination without any reservation, claim, conflict or demurral, and (ii) cause each Common Member Manager (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Chairperson of the Board if the Common Members have appointed the Chairperson of the Board) to approve such suspension or termination and the taking of any other actions necessary to effect such suspension or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the cessation, suspension or termination of the use of the Sony Mark in accordance with the foregoing shall not be considered a Supermajority Approval item. As used in this Section 7.16, “TMLA” means the trademark license agreement between the Company and Sony Corporation granting the Company a license or right to use a trademark, service mark, trade name, trade dress, logo, corporate name or other intellectual property of Sony Corporation (collectively, “Sony Marks”).

ARTICLE VIII

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01 Exculpation of Covered Persons.

(a) As used herein, the term “Covered Person” shall mean (i) each Member; (ii) each officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, Affiliate, employee, agent or representative of each Member, and each of their Affiliates; and (iii) each Manager, Officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company.

(b) No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member or any Affiliate of a Member for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in his or its capacity as a Covered Person, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or a material breach or knowing violation of Applicable Law or this Agreement by such Covered Person.

(c) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Net Income or Net Losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) a Manager; (ii) one or more Officers or employees of the Company; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in § 18-406 of the Delaware Act.

Section 8.02 Liabilities and Duties of Covered Persons.

(a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Covered Person. Furthermore, each of the Members and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by Applicable Law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Covered Person to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including with respect to any Affiliates of a Member or Manager in their capacities as Officers pursuant to Section 7.10. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(b) Whenever in this Agreement a Member or Manager is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Member or Manager’s “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), such Member or Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Covered Person desires, including its own interests (or, in the case of a Manager, the interests of the Member that appointed such Manager or such Member’s Affiliates), and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or

B-28

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any other Person. Whenever in this Agreement a Member or Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in such Member or Manager’s “good faith,” the Member or Manager shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other Applicable Law.

(c) This Section 8.02 does not apply to any obligation or duty of a Covered Person or any Affiliate thereof arising under any other JV Agreement.

Section 8.03 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement, only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay and reimburse any Covered Person against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (other than in connection with any claims brought by (A) a Member or its Affiliate against another Member or its Affiliate or (B) the Company) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of:

(i) any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company in connection with the Business of the Company; or

(ii) such Covered Person being or acting in connection with the Business of the Company as a Member, an Affiliate of a Member, a Manager or an Officer, or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, partner, director, officer, employee or agent of any other Person;

provided, that (x) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be within, or not opposed to, the scope of such Covered Person’s authority conferred on him or it by the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or its conduct was unlawful, and (y) such Covered Person’s conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or a material breach or knowing violation of Applicable Law or this Agreement by such Covered Person, in each case as determined by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or a material breach or knowing violation of Applicable Law or this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.03; provided, that if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 8.03, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 8.03 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 8.03 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.03 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Covered Person.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Article VIII shall (or shall be construed to) (i) relieve any Member or other Person from any liability or obligation of such Person

B-29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

pursuant to any JV Agreement, or to in any way impair the enforceability of any provision of any JV Agreement against any party thereto, or (ii) require the Company to indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay or reimburse (x) any Covered Person with respect to any Loss to the extent a Member or its Affiliate is required to indemnify such Covered Person with respect thereto under any JV Agreement or (y) a breaching or indemnifying Member or Affiliate, including with respect to a successful claim brought against such Member or Affiliate under Section 7.14.

(e) To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may purchase, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person’s duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the Board may determine; provided, that (i) all Members and Managers shall be treated equally under any such insurance policies and (ii) the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company in respect of such Losses.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 8.03 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.

(g) Notwithstanding that a Covered Person has or may from time to time obtain certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more third party indemnitors (including as an officer, director or employee of a Member), the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to such Covered Person are primary and any obligation of a third party indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Covered Person are secondary), and the Company shall not assert that the Covered Person must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from third party indemnitor before the Company must perform its expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by a third party indemnitor on behalf of a Covered Person with respect to any claim for which such Covered Person has sought indemnification from the Company in accordance with this Agreement shall affect the foregoing. The third party indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which such Covered Person would have had against the Company if the third party indemnitor had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of such Covered Person.

(h) If this Section 8.03 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 8.03 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 8.03 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(i) The provisions of this Section 8.03 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 8.03 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 8.03 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.

Section 8.04 Survival. The provisions of this Article VIII shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Company.

TRANSFER

Section 9.01 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04 and this Article IX, no Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company prior to the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement without the written consent of the other Member, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the other Member. No Transfer of Membership Interests to a Person not already a Member of the Company shall be deemed completed until the prospective Transferee is admitted as a Member of the Company in accordance with Section 4.01(b).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 9.02), each Member agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company, and the Company agrees that it shall not issue any Membership Interests:

(i) except as permitted under the Securities Act and other applicable federal or state securities or blue-sky laws, and then, with respect to a Transfer of Membership Interests, only upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Transfer may be affected without registration under the Securities Act;

(ii) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Company to be considered a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704(b) of the Code within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3);

(iii) if such Transfer or issuance would affect the Company’s existence or qualification as a limited liability company under the Delaware Act;

(iv) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes;

(v) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the Company to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; or

(vi) if such Transfer or issuance would cause the assets of the Company to be deemed “Plan Assets” as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving the Company.

(c) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Membership Interest in contravention of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books or otherwise recognized by the Company, and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated as the owner of such Membership Interest for any purposes of this Agreement or have any rights as a Member (and the purported Transferor shall continue to be treated as the owner of such Membership Interest and as a Member).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of a Membership Interest permitted by this Agreement shall be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal of such Membership Interest in its entirety as intended by the parties to such Transfer, and shall not be deemed a sale, transfer, assignment or other disposal of any less than all of the rights and benefits described in the definition of the term “Membership Interest,” unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by the parties to such Transfer.

Section 9.02 Permitted Transfers.

(a) General. The provisions of Section 9.01(a) shall not apply to any Transfer by any Member of all or any portion of its Membership Interest to its Affiliate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) Right of First Offer.

(i) If at any time (subject to the written consent requirement in Section 9.01(a) if prior to the third anniversary of the date hereof) a Member (the “Transferring Member”) desires to Transfer all or any portion of its Units to a third party (“Third Party Purchaser”), such Transferring Member shall first offer to sell such Units to each other Member (each, other than any Affiliate of a Transferring Member, a “Non-Transferring Member”) by providing written notice (“Sale Election Notice”) to the Company and the Non-Transferring Members. The Sale Election Notice shall set forth the number of Units proposed to be Transferred (“Subject Units”), the proposed offer price and other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer (an “Offer”). The Non-Transferring Members (and their respective Affiliates) shall have a right, exercisable upon written notice to the Transferring Member delivered to it within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Sale Election Notice (“Response Due Date”), to accept the Offer and elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Subject Units, which may be allocated among themselves in such proportions as the Non-Transferring Members may agree. In the event competing Sale Election Notices are sent on the same day, the Members agree that a Sale Election Notice provided by the Preferred Member shall take priority.

(ii) If on or prior to the Response Due Date either (a) such Offer is accepted in writing by the Non-Transferring Members or (b) the Non-Transferring Members elect to make a counter-offer in writing to the Transferring Member that is accepted in writing by the Transferring Member (or within five (5) Business Days thereafter, in the case of a counter-offer delivered on the Response Due Date), then the Non-Transferring Members (or their respective Affiliates, as applicable) shall purchase, and the Transferring Member shall sell to the Non-Transferring Members (or their respective Affiliates), the Subject Units on a date selected by the Non-Transferring Members, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after Response Due Date. Such purchase of the Subject Units shall be made at the offices of the Company, at which the Transferring Member shall represent and warrant to the Non-Transferring Members purchasing the Subject Units that (x) such Transferring Member has full right, title and interest in and to the Subject Units, (y) such Transferring Member has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell the Subject Units as contemplated by this Section 9.02, and (z) the Subject Units are free and clear of any encumbrance other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.

(iii) If the Offer is not accepted in writing by the Non-Transferring Members or the Transferring Member has not accepted any counter-offer made by the Non-Transferring Member, in each case on or prior to the Response Due Date, then for a period of ninety (90) days after the Response Due Date (as extended as necessary to account for any time during such period that such transaction is delayed due to any antitrust or other governmental reviews or approvals) the Transferring Member shall have the right to consummate the sale of the Subject Units to a Third Party Purchaser at a price and on terms that are not materially more favorable, in the aggregate, to such Third Party Purchaser than those set forth in the Sale Election Notice.

(c) Tag-Along Rights. If a Transferring Member elects to sell its Subject Units to a Third Party Purchaser in accordance with Section 9.02(b)(iii), the Transferring Member shall provide written notice of the proposed sale (“Third Party Sale Notice”) to the other Members (each eligible Member, a “Tagging Member”, provided that “Tagging Member” shall not include CSSE or its Permitted Transferees at any time following CSSE’s requirement to deliver notice of a CSSE Change of Control) and the Company setting forth the proposed sale price, the name of the Third Party Purchaser and any other material terms of the proposed sale. Each Tagging Member shall have the right, upon written notice to the Transferring Member (“Tag-Along Notice”) delivered to it within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Third Party Sale Notice, to sell to the Third Party Purchaser, on the terms contained in the Third Party Sale Notice, up to such number of Tagging Units (as defined) equal to the product of (i) the total number of Units that the Third Party Purchaser proposes to buy as stated in the Third Party Sale Notice and (ii) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Units then held by the Tagging Member and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the number of Units then held by the Transferring Member and all participating Tagging Members (in each case, with

B-32

(i) and (ii) calculated on a deemed as-converted basis with any portion of the Preferred Units included therein deemed to be converted to the appropriate number of Common Units in accordance with Section 9.04(e) for purposes of such calculation) (such number, the “Tagging Units”). If any Tagging Member exercises its right hereunder through the delivery of a timely Tag-Along Notice, the Tagging Member shall join in the Transferring Member’s contract with the Third Party Purchaser on the same terms as set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, shall receive consideration in the same amount per Unit (calculated on a deemed as-converted basis) as the Transferring Member and such consideration will be allocated among such Members and distributed in accordance with Section 12.03; provided, that (a) such Tagging Member shall only be obligated to make individual representations and warranties with respect to its right, title and interest in and to its Units, power and authority to sell its Units, absence of encumbrances upon its Units, and other matters relating to such Tagging Member (and the liability of such Tagging Member for indemnification, if any, with respect to any such representations and warranties shall be several and not joint and shall be pro rata in proportion to and shall not exceed the amount of consideration payable to such Tagging Member), but not with respect to any of the foregoing in respect of any other Members or any other Members’ Units; (b) no Tagging Member shall be obligated to execute or otherwise agree to, or be bound by, any restrictive covenant or exclusivity obligation other than reasonable and customary covenants with respect to confidentiality. To the extent that the Third Party Purchaser refuses to purchase Units from an exercising Tagging Member, the Transferring Member shall not Transfer any Subject Units to such Third Party Purchaser unless and until, simultaneously with such Transfer, the Transferring Member shall purchase the applicable number of Units from the exercising Tagging Member for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the Transferring Member receives from the Third Party Purchaser. If no Non-Transferring Member timely delivers a Tag-Along Notice, or if all Non-Transferring Members waive their rights hereunder, the Transferring Member shall have the right to consummate the sale of the Subject Units to the Third Party Purchaser on the terms set forth in the Third Party Sale Notice within the date set forth in Section 9.02(b)(iii).

Section 9.03 Put Option; Call Option.

(a) During the Exercise Period, the Preferred Member shall have the right (“Put Option”), upon written irrevocable notice to the Company and CSSE (“Put Election Notice”), to sell to CSSE, and require CSSE to purchase from the Preferred Member, all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Member’s Units (including any such Units then held by a Permitted Transferee of the Preferred Member). CSSE shall pay for the Units being so sold and purchased through the issuance to the Preferred Member of shares of CSSE’s Series A 9.75% redeemable perpetual preferred stock (“CSSE Preferred Stock”) or an amount of cash payable in lieu of such CSSE Preferred Stock, in either case, calculated in accordance with Schedule C. The aggregate CSSE Preferred Stock and/or the cash paid in lieu thereof is referred to herein as the “Put Consideration.”

(b) The Preferred Member (and any applicable Permitted Transferee of the Preferred Member) shall, at the closing of such sale (“Put Closing”), represent and warrant to CSSE that (i) it has full right, title and interest in and to its Units, (ii) it has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to sell its Units as contemplated by this Section 9.04, and (iii) its Units are free and clear of any encumbrance other than those arising as a result of or under the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Put Closing shall take place no later than thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company and CSSE of the Put Election Notice on a date specified by CSSE (the “Put Closing Date”); provided that CSSE shall give the Preferred Member at least ten (10) Business Days’ written notice of the Put Closing Date.

(d) At the Put Closing, CSSE shall pay the Put Consideration through the issuance and delivery at the Put Closing of certificates evidencing the CSSE Preferred Shares or the payment of the cash amount in lieu thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Preferred Member (or a combination of CSSE Preferred Shares and cash), and CSSE and the Company shall expressly release the Preferred Member and its Affiliates (and the Preferred Member and its Affiliates shall expressly release CSSE and the Company) from any liabilities in

B-33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

connection with or arising out of the Preferred Member’s ownership of the Units and membership in the Company. All CSSE Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall be subject to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Contribution Agreement).

(e) At the Put Closing, in exchange for the Put Consideration, the Preferred Member (and any applicable Permitted Transferee of the Preferred Member) shall deliver to CSSE (i) a certificate or certificates (if any) representing the Units, accompanied by an assignment of the certificate to CSSE or its assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(f); (ii) the resignation of the Preferred Member Managers; and (iii) a certificate meeting the requirements of IRS Notice 2018-29 and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b) (modified to take into account Code Section 1446(f)) that the Preferred Member is not a foreign person within the meaning of Code Section 1446(f) or Code Section 1445.

(f) Each Member agrees that CSSE may assign its purchase right or obligation under this Section 9.04 in whole or in part to any Affiliate who, upon the Put Closing, shall become a Member, and that such purchase right or obligation shall be assignable by CSSE without the consent of the Preferred Member; provided that (i) CSSE delivers notice to the Preferred Member of such assignment and of the identity of the assignee prior to the Put Closing, (ii) such assignee pays all of the Put Consideration in cash and (iii) CSSE shall be responsible for any failure of such assignee to perform its obligations under this Section 9.04 with respect to such assigned purchase right or obligation.

(g) Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.04, each Member agrees to cooperate and take, and to cause its controlled Affiliates to cooperate and take, all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the purchase of the Preferred Member’s Units by CSSE or its designee pursuant to this Section 9.03.

(i) Except in the event of a Trigger Failure, if the Preferred Member has not exercised the Put Option prescribed by this Section 9.03 or, alternatively, has not exercised the Conversion Right prescribed by Section 9.04, below, during the Exercise Period, then the Preferred Member shall be deemed to have exercised the Put Option under the terms of this Section 9.03 as if the Preferred Member had sent a Put Election Notice on the last day of the Exercise Period.

(d) On the Conversion Closing Date, the Preferred Member (and any applicable Permitted Transferee of the Preferred Member) shall deliver to the Company a certificate or certificates (if any) representing all of the Preferred Units then outstanding, and the Company shall deliver to the Preferred Member (and any applicable Permitted Transferee of the Preferred Member) a certificate or certificates evidencing the Conversion Units.

(e) The number of Conversion Units issued shall be equal to the number of Common Units that, when added to the Common Units already held by the Preferred Member (and its Permitted Transferees), will provide the Preferred Member (together with its applicable Permitted Transferees) with a Percentage Interest of 49% on a fully diluted basis assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of all securities or debt convertible into or exercisable for exchangeable for Units (as adjusted for transactions and equity issuances consummated prior to conversion that have been approved by the Board with Supermajority Approval).

(f) Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.04, each Member agrees to cooperate and take, and to cause its controlled Affiliates to cooperate and take, all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the conversion of the Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 9.04.

Section 9.05 Initial Public Offering.

(a) At any time following the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, if the Preferred Member is unable to sell its Membership Interest after a good faith effort to do so, or at any other time upon the written agreement of the Preferred Member and CSSE, with such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, then, if requested in writing by the Preferred Member, the Board shall authorize a public offering of equity securities of the Company by one or more underwriters, including Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc., and on such other terms and conditions to be agreed between the Preferred Member and CSSE (the “Initial Public Offering”).

(b) The Initial Public Offering may include the resale of equity interests held by the Members, provided that (i) such selling Members enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for the Initial Public Offering and (ii) if the underwriters advise the Company and the selling Members in writing that the dollar amount or number of Units which the selling Members desire to sell, taken together with all of the Units or other equity interests proposed to be sold by the Company, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in the Initial Public Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall reduce the number of Units proposed to be sold by selling Members in the Initial Public Offering to the Maximum Number of Shares; provided that the number of Units held by the Preferred Member to be included in the Initial Public Offering shall not be reduced unless all Units held by any other Member are first entirely excluded therefrom.

(c) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to list, or cause to be listed, the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering on a national securities exchange in the United States.

The Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Member, for its review and comment, copies of all tax returns at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing thereof.

B-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 12.03 Liquidation. If the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 12.01, the Company shall be liquidated and its business and affairs wound up in accordance with the Delaware Act and the following provisions:

(a) The Board shall act as liquidator to wind up the Company (the “Liquidator”); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if the Company is being dissolved pursuant to Section 12.01(b) or Section 12.01(c) based on the Bankruptcy or a default by CSSE, the Preferred Member shall act as Liquidator; or (ii) if the Company is being dissolved pursuant to Section 12.01(b) or Section 12.01(c) based on the Bankruptcy or a default by the Preferred Member, CSSE shall act as Liquidator. The Liquidator shall have full power and authority to sell, assign and encumber any or all of the Company’s assets and to wind up and liquidate the affairs of the Company in an orderly and business-like manner; provided that, if the Board is the Liquidator, it shall act in accordance with the governance provisions in Article VII until the winding up occurs.

(b) As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

(c) The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law:

(i) first, to the payment of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to its creditors (including Members that are creditors, if applicable) and the expenses of liquidation (including sales commissions incident to any sales of assets of the Company);

(ii) second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the Liquidator to be reasonably necessary for any contingent unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company;

(iii) third, to the payment of any liquidation preference under any preferred stock or other instrument of the Company that is senior in right to the Preferred Liquidation Preference;

(iv) fourth, to the Preferred Member (but only to the extent of its then outstanding Preferred Units), prior and in preference to any distribution in respect of the Common Members, an aggregate amount (the “Preferred Liquidation Preference”) equal to the sum of (x) the Preferred Return, plus (y) the then unreturned Preferred Capital Contribution. If the assets of the Company available for distribution to its Members shall be insufficient to pay the Preferred Member the full amount of the Preferred Liquidation Preference, the remaining assets and funds of the Company shall be distributed to the Preferred Member; and

(v) thereafter, to the Common Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.03(c) that require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 12.03(c), if upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator reasonably determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, upon unanimous consent of the Members, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.03(c), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distribution in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties at such time. For purposes of any such distribution, any property to be distributed will be valued at its Fair Market Value, as determined by the Liquidator in good faith.

(e) The Company shall distribute the proceeds in connection with a Capital Transaction in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 12.03(c) above. In addition, in connection with a Capital Transaction that results in proceeds paid directly to the Members, such proceeds shall be

B-41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

allocated among and paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 12.03(c) with distributions to each Member made in proportion to the amounts that each Member would have received if all of the Company’s assets had been sold and the proceeds were distributed by the Company in complete liquidation pursuant to the rights and preferences set forth in Section 12.03(c).

(f) In the event that the dissolution and liquidation of the Company or a Capital Transaction occurs prior to the contribution by CSSE of all of the CSSE Contributed Assets comprising its Initial Capital Contribution in accordance with the procedures in the Contribution Agreement, CSSE covenants and agrees that any such CSSE Contributed Assets not yet contributed to the Company shall be included within the Capital Transaction, if possible, or otherwise liquidated, transferred or sold by CSSE concurrently with or as promptly as possible thereafter to a bona fide third party buyer for fair market value on arm’s-length terms that are mutually approved by the Preferred Member and the proceeds received in connection therewith shall be added to and included within the aggregate proceeds from such liquidation or Capital Transaction to be distributed in accordance with this Section 12.03.

Section 12.04 Cancellation of Certificate. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 12.03(c), the Company shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate of Formation in the State of Delaware and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

Section 12.05 Survival of Rights, Duties and Obligations. Dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company for any reason shall not release any party from any Loss that at the time of such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination already had accrued to any other party or thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall replace, diminish or otherwise adversely affect any Member’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.03.

Section 12.06 Recourse for Claims. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all distributions with respect to the Company, such Member’s Capital Account, and such Member’s share of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Liquidator or any other Member.

CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

CLASS I WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF
SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

No. I-1
Date: May 14, 2019

Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Company”), hereby certifies that for value received, CPE Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its registered successors and/or assigns (“Registered Holder” or “Holder”), with a principal address of 10202 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on May 14, 2024 (the “Exercise Period”), 800,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to $8.13 per share.

The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the exercise price per share, each as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares” and the “Exercise Price,” respectively.

This Warrant is issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of that certain Contribution Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2019 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Registered Holder, Crackle, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Crackle Plus, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

1. Exercise.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder during the Exercise Period, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the Notice of Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) duly executed by such Registered Holder) at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased upon such exercise.

(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above, if so surrendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or if surrendered after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, as of the next business day. At such time, the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(c), below, shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.

C-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 3, exercises hereunder shall be only in full share increments. Within five (5) business days after the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant, the Company at its expense will use its best efforts to cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including the requirement that there be a registration statement then in effect with respect to transfers or an exemption therefrom), to such other individual or entity as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of whole Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise (as such number of Warrant Shares may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3 hereof), and

(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, stating on the face or faces thereof the number of shares currently stated on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(a) above.

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, whether or not at the time of such exercise a registration statement is effective (or the prospectus contained therein is available for use) for the resale by the Registered Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Registered Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the applicable Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

Net Number = (A x B) – (A x C)
B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B = as applicable: (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the United States federal securities laws) on such Trading Day; (ii) the Bid Price of the Common Stock as of the time of the Registered Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 1(a); (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day, of (iv) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Principal Market, the fair market value per Share as determined by: (A) an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Registered Holder and the Company or (B) as otherwise may be mutually agreed upon by the Registered Holder and the Company.

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

2. Adjustments; Conversions.

2.1 Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

(i) Stock Dividends — Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups. If, after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up or other similar event affecting the class of Common Stock as a whole, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of

C-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares.

(ii) Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation or combination of shares of Common Stock, or by a reverse stock split, or other similar event affecting the class of Common Stock as a whole, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be equitably decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

(iii) Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in this Section, the Exercise Price shall be equitably adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

(iv) Price Reduction; Exercise Period Extension. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Warrant, at any time and from time to time during the period that this Warrant is exercisable, the Company in its sole discretion may reduce the Exercise Price or extend the period during which this Warrant is exercisable.

(v) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect against impairment of the rights of the Holder of this Warrant to adjustments in the Exercise Price.

(vi) Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 (i.e., proportional adjustments to reflect changes in the Company’s capital structure, but not anti-dilution protections based on the issuance price of new securities) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features, an “Other Adjustment Event”), then the Company’s Board of Directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.1(vi) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not reasonably accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s Board of Directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company unless such adjustment, as finally determined by such investment bank, is within three percent (3%) of the Company’s originally proposed adjustment, in which case such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, an Other Adjustment Event shall not include a bona fide financing transaction in which the Company sells its securities for the principal purpose of raising working capital or other operating capital or any issuance or grant to an employee, director or consultant of the Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) under an incentive stock plan agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

which the Company is the continuing entity and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another Person of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event.

2.3 Restrictions on Transfer. The holder of this Warrant acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, as of the date of issuance hereof and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise, in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares under any applicable Blue Sky or state securities law then in effect or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.

2.4 Notice of Adjustment or Conversion. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, or a conversion of the Warrant or any other material change, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereto to the Registered Holder of this Warrant stating, in the case of an adjustment, the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares, or in the case of a conversion, reasonably detailed instruction on how to surrender this Warrant, and setting forth such other detail as the Company reasonably deems appropriate.

3. No Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock and instead, upon each exercise of this Warrant, shall round (up or down) to the nearest whole number of Warrant Shares, which shall then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of any such fractional share.

4. Limitation on Sales. Further to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.3 above, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the offering and sale of the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise of the Warrant shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the shares covered by such exercise unless and until the Registered Holder shall have executed an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Holder, including a covenant at the time of such exercise that it is acquiring such shares for its own account, and will not transfer the Warrant Shares unless pursuant to an effective and current registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable restrictions, in which event the Registered Holder shall be bound by the provisions of a legend or legends to such effect which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) representing the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to such exercise. In such event, the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, SUPPORTED BY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

5. Intentionally Omitted.

C-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

notwithstanding the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company at any time does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, then the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the number of shares necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of the failure to have sufficient authorized shares to permit the exercise of this Warrant (“Authorized Share Failure”), but in no event later than seventy (70) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.

7. Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

8. Transfers, etc.

(a) The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant. Any Registered Holder may change its, his or her address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.

(b) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if and when this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

9. No Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.

10. Successors. The rights and obligations of the parties to this Warrant will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns, pledgees, transferees and purchasers. Without limiting the foregoing, the registration rights set forth in this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of the Registered Holder and all the Registered Holder’s successors, heirs, pledgees, assignees, transferees and purchasers of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

11. Change or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be changed or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change or waiver is sought.

12. Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision of this Warrant.

13. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of Delaware without giving effect to choice of law principles.

14. Arbitration. Subject to Section 13, above, Section 9.8 (Arbitration) of the Contribution Agreement is incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

Holder (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation (as the case may be) of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value or the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price or fair market value (as the case may be) to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant (as the case may be) to perform the determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the Holder of the results as soon as reasonably practicable. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of the investment bank or the accountant shall be borne by the Company unless (x) the number is question, as finally determined by such investment bank or accountant, is within three percent (3%) of the Company’s originally proposed number and (y) the Holder is the party who initiated the dispute resolution procedure contemplated by this Section 15, in which case such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Holder.

16. Remedies, Characterization, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. Each party acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the other party and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). Each party therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the other party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

17. Notice of Record Dates and Events. Subject to applicable law, the Company shall provide the Holder with (a) not less than five days’ prior written notice of any record date that will be established by the Company for holders of Common Stock to participate in any dividend or distribution to be made with respect the outstanding Common Stock and (b) not less than ten days’ prior written notice prior to the date of consummation of any capital reorganization, reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to a third party.

18. Current Public Information. So long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company shall make and keep current public information available in accordance with Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act.

If the Company and the Registered Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 15.
