RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of November 10, 2015, between Outerwall Inc. (f/k/a Coinstar, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Paramount Home Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Paramount").
Reference herein is made to that certain Revenue Sharing License Agreement executed between Redbox Automated Retail, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Redbox"), and Paramount, dated as of August 25, 2009, and as subsequently amended by that First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment and Fifth Amendment thereto, dated December 10, 2009, June 15, 2010, July 12, 2010, June 3, 2011 and October 26, 2011, respectively (collectively, the "License Agreement"). Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the License Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth with respect to such terms in the License Agreement.
1. Restricted Stock Issuance
Pursuant to the License Agreement, in connection with Paramount’s exercise of the 2016 Extension Option and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to Paramount 50,000 shares (collectively, the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock").
The Company shall issue the Shares as of January 1, 2016 (or as soon as practicable following such date).
2. Status of Participant
Upon issuance of the Shares, Paramount will be recorded as a registered stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares. The Company and its transfer agent will promptly provide to Paramount written confirmation of such issuance and recordation. Upon issuance of the Shares, Paramount will have in connection with the Shares all rights of a holder of Common Stock of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions in respect of the Shares.
3. Securities Law Compliance; Certain Representations
3.1 The Shares to be acquired by Paramount under this Agreement will be acquired for investment for Paramount's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. Paramount has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Shares. Paramount does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or entity or to any other person or entity, with respect to any of the Shares. Paramount represents and warrants that it (a) has been furnished with all information which it deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of receipt of the Shares, (b) has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the information received about the Shares and the Company, and (c) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information it deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Shares and the Company. Paramount is an "accredited investor" under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
3.2 Paramount hereby agrees that it will in no event sell or distribute all or any part of the Shares unless (a) there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and applicable state and other securities laws covering any such transaction involving the Shares or (b) the Company receives an opinion of Paramount's legal counsel (which counsel may be Paramount's internal corporate counsel, and which opinion is reasonable or customary in form and substance) stating that such transaction is exempt from registration or the Company otherwise satisfies itself that such transaction is exempt from registration. The Company shall provide promptly to Paramount all information reasonably requested in connection with preparing such opinion. Paramount understands that the Company has no obligation to register the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and has not represented to Paramount that the Company will so register the Shares.
3.3 Paramount confirms that it has been advised, prior to its receipt of the Shares, that neither the offering of the Shares nor any offering materials have been reviewed by any administrator or other governmental entity under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities act.
3.4 The Company represents and warrants that each of the issuance and delivery of the Shares in accordance with the Agreement, as well as the execution and delivery of this Agreement, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, that all such Shares have been duly reserved for issuance and that the Shares will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any liens or encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer set forth herein and under applicable securities laws (subject only to the vesting and forfeiture provision in this Agreement). The Company further represents and warrants that, (a) the Company is not, and never has been a "shell company" as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and (b) assuming the accuracy of Section 3.1, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to Paramount does not require registration under the Securities Act and is in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
4. Independent Tax Advice
PARAMOUNT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE COMPANY HAS DIRECTED PARAMOUNT TO SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE REGARDING THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986 AND THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY APPLICABLE MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY WHERE PARAMOUNT IS OR MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAX.
Paramount acknowledges that determining the actual tax consequences to Paramount of receiving or disposing of the Shares may be complicated. These tax consequences will depend, in part, on Paramount's specific situation and may also depend on the resolution of currently uncertain tax law and other variables not within the control of the Company. Paramount is aware that it should consult a competent and independent tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax consequences of receiving or disposing of the Shares. Prior to executing this Agreement, Paramount either has consulted with a competent tax advisor independent of the Company to obtain tax advice concerning the Shares in light of its specific situation or has had the opportunity to consult with such a tax advisor but has chosen not to do so.
5. Book Entry Registration of the Shares
The Company will issue the Shares by registering the Shares in book entry form with the Company's transfer agent in Paramount's name and the applicable restrictions will be noted in the records of the Company's transfer agent and in the book entry system. Subject to provision by Paramount of any documentation reasonably requested by the Company, upon written request by Paramount the Company will provide to the transfer agent (and to such other persons as may be reasonably required) such documentation as is reasonably necessary to facilitate a lawful transfer of Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6. Stop‑Transfer Notices and Restrictive Legends
6.1 Paramount understands and agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to in this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate "stop‑transfer" and other instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. The Company will not be required to (a) transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) treat as the owner of the Shares, or otherwise accord voting, or dividend rights to any transferee to whom the Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement.
6.2 The restrictions noted in the records of the Company's transfer agent and any certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legends in substantially the following form (as well as any other legends required by applicable state and federal corporate securities laws) as reasonably deemed appropriate by the Company:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER TRANSFER THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR THE COMPANY'S RECEIPT OF AN OPINION OF TRANSFEROR'S LEGAL COUNSEL STATING THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION OR THE COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Paramount's request, promptly following the date that the Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without volume restrictions or manner of sale limitations, the Company shall cause its legal counsel to issue an instruction letter to the Company's transfer agent and to Paramount (which instruction letter shall be reasonable in form and substance) that
any and all certificates representing such Shares shall be issued free of all legends and any such legends shall be removed from the records of the Company's transfer agent.
7. Rule 144 Reporting
7.1 With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that will permit the sale of the Shares without registration with the SEC, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as such terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c)(i) of the Securities Act, at all times until the one year anniversary from the date of this Agreement;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); and
(c) so long as Paramount owns any Shares, upon request by Paramount, if the Company is not filing reports and other documents under the Exchange Act, the Company will make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of the Shares pursuant to, Rule 144A (including the provision of information to Paramount and prospective purchasers designated by Paramount pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)) and, commencing at such time as sales are permitted under Rule 144, Rule 144A, and in any event shall make available (either by mailing a copy thereof, by posting on the Company's website, or by press release) to Paramount a copy of:
(i) the Company's annual consolidated financial statements (including at least balance sheets, statements of profit and loss, statements of stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, no later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company; and
(ii) the Company's quarterly consolidated financial statements (including at least balance sheets, statements of profit and loss, statements of stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in a manner substantially consistent with the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements, no later than 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company.
7.2 If the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of clause (a) or (b) of Section 7.1 (a "Public Information Failure") then, in addition to Paramount's other available remedies, the Company shall pay to Paramount, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares then held by Paramount (or a U.S. affiliate of Paramount), an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate value of the Shares then held by Paramount (or a U.S. affiliate of Paramount) valued at the higher of $31.89 or the average closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock for the ten full trading days prior to, but not including, the day of the Public Information Failure on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required for Paramount to transfer its Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which Paramount shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 7.2 are referred to herein as "Public Information Failure Payments." Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (1) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (2) the third (3rd) business day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit Paramount's right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and Paramount shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
7. Tax Withholding
Paramount shall provide such certificates as reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to comply with any applicable information reporting or withholding requirements with respect to the Shares, and such certificates may include, among other things, a properly executed IRS Form W-9.
