WHEREAS, all of the Warrants are governed by the Existing Warrant Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, on May 10, 2022, a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) was entered into by and among the Company, CSSE, RB First Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub Inc.”), RB Second Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Merger Sub LLC”), Redwood Opco Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of CSSE (“Opco Merger Sub LLC”), and Redwood Intermediate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Opco LLC”);

 

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, (i) at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (A) Merger Sub Inc. will merge (the “First Company Merger”) with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Corporation”); and (B) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, Opco Merger Sub LLC will merge (the “Opco Merger”) with and into Opco LLC, with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving entity (the “Opco Surviving Company”); and (ii) immediately following the First Company Merger and Opco Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge (the “Second Company Merger” and, together with the First Company Merger, the “Integrated Mergers,” and the Integrated Mergers together with the Opco Merger, the “Mergers”) with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”). In connection with such Mergers, all shares of RDBX Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), other than any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be converted into and become exchangeable for 0.087 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of Class A common stock of CSSE (“CSSE Common Stock”), in accordance with the Merger Agreement;

 

 

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Mergers, as provided in Section 4.4 of the Existing Warrant Agreement, each of the issued and outstanding Warrants will no longer be exercisable for shares of RDBX Common Stock but instead will be exercisable (subject to the terms and conditions of the Existing Warrant Agreement as amended hereby) for shares of CSSE Common Stock;

 

WHEREAS, Section 9.8 of the Existing Warrant Agreement provides that the Company and CST may amend the Existing Warrant Agreement without the consent of any Registered Holders, to provide for the delivery of Alternative Issuance pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Existing Warrant Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 9.8 of the Existing Warrant Agreement, upon consummation of the Mergers, the Warrants held by each Registered Holder will be adjusted such that the total number of Warrants represented thereby will be equal to the product of the number of Warrants held prior to the Mergers multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and the exercise price for each such Warrant will be equal to $132.18 per share of CSSE Common Stock (which is calculated by dividing the current $11.50 per-share exercise price of such warrants by the Exchange Ratio).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
