Commitment Letter

You have Jefferies Finance LLC (“Jefferies”) and Bank of America, N.A. (“BoA”), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (or any of its designated affiliates, “MLPFS”), Credit Suisse AG (acting through such affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate (“CS”)) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS Securities” and together with CS and their respective affiliates, “Credit Suisse” and, together with Jefferies, BoA and MLPFS, the “Banks”) that (i) Aspen Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Redwood Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Redwood Holdings (as defined below) (“Redwood Merger Sub”), and Aspen Merger Sub, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Coin Merger Sub”), intend to enter into an agreement and plan of merger (including all exhibits and schedules thereto, the “Merger Agreement”) with Outerwall Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”) and Redbox Automated Retail, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Redwood”), pursuant to which (a) Redwood Merger Sub will merge with and into Redwood, with Redwood surviving such merger as a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Redwood Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Redwood Holdings” and, together with Redwood Merger Sub, “you”) (such merger, the “Acquired Business Merger”), and (b) Coin Merger Sub will merge with and into Target, with Target surviving such merger as a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Aspen Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Coin Holdings”), and (ii) you intend to consummate the other transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”).


You have further advised us that, in connection therewith, the Borrower (as defined in the Transaction Description) will obtain the Facilities (as defined in the Transaction Description), subject solely to the conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Commitment Letter, in the Term Sheet (as defined below) under the paragraph titled “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” and in Exhibit C hereto.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Transaction Description or the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Term Sheet”).

 

  1. Commitments.

In connection with the foregoing, (a) Jefferies is pleased to advise you of its several, but not joint, commitment to provide 45% of the principal amount of each of the Facilities, (b) BoA is pleased to advise you of its several, but not joint, commitment to provide 45% of the principal amount of each of the Facilities and (c) CS is pleased to advise you of its several, but not joint, commitment to provide 10% of the principal amount of each of the Facilities, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this commitment letter (including the Term Sheet and other attachments hereto, this “Commitment Letter”).

You shall have the right, at any time until 10 business days after the date this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below are executed and delivered by you, to obtain commitments from additional banks, financial institutions and other entities (the “Additional Initial Lenders” and, together with the Banks, each an “Initial Lender” and collectively, the “Initial Lenders”) to assume the rights and obligations of the Banks hereunder in respect of up to 5% of the commitments under the Facilities (allocated ratably among the Facilities); provided that the Additional Initial Lenders and the assignment and assumption documentation shall be reasonably acceptable to the Banks. The Banks’ commitments (and any commitment held by any and all lenders to which any Bank assigns a portion of its commitments in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the execution of such documentation other than to Additional Initial Lenders) shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate amount of commitments held by the Additional Initial Lenders upon the execution by such Additional Initial Lenders of such documentation and each such Additional Initial Lender’s several commitment shall be allocated pro rata among the Facilities.

 

  2. Titles and Roles.

It is agreed that (a) each of Jefferies (acting through any of its affiliates as it deems appropriate), MLPFS and CS Securities will act as a joint bookrunner and a joint lead arranger (each, a “Lead Arranger” and collectively, the “Lead Arrangers”) for the Facilities and (b) Jefferies will act as sole administrative agent and collateral agent for the Facilities, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. You may appoint additional co-agents and one or more joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers reasonably acceptable to the Banks (the “Additional Arrangers” and, together with the Banks, each, an “Arranger” and collectively, the “Arrangers” and, together with the Initial Lenders and their respective affiliates, the “Financial Institutions”, “we” or “us”). We, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and

 

2


exercised by us in such roles. You agree that Jefferies will have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities and the role and responsibilities customarily associated with such placement. You and we further agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation will be paid (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) in connection with the Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.

 

  3. Syndication.

Subject to Section 9 of this Commitment Letter, we reserve the right, prior to and/or after the execution of definitive documentation for the Facilities (which will be drafted by your counsel), to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lenders’ commitments with respect to the Facilities to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (together with the Initial Lenders and the Additional Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by us in consultation with you and subject to your consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any resales or assignments of the Facilities by any Lender (including the Initial Lenders) on or following the date of the initial borrowings under the Facilities shall be governed by the provisions of the Facilities as set forth in the Term Sheet. Each Lender further agrees not to syndicate any of the commitments with respect to the Facilities to certain financial institutions and other entities that have been specified by you in writing to the Lead Arrangers on or prior to the date hereof or competitors of Redwood and its subsidiaries each specified by you in writing to the Lead Arrangers on or prior to the date hereof (it being understood that additional bona fide competitors of Redwood and its subsidiaries may be designated in writing by you following the earlier to occur of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and 60 days after the date of the consummation of the Acquired Business Merger (the “Closing Date”)) (collectively, the “Disqualified Lenders”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such additional designation shall not apply retroactively to any prior assignment to any Lender permitted hereunder at the time of such assignment). We intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter, and you agree to assist us in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us and you until the earlier to occur of a Successful Syndication and 60 days after the Closing Date. During such period, such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit from Sponsor’s and your existing lending and investment banking relationships and, to the extent practical and appropriate, the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Target, (b) direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non-legal advisors of you (and, subject always to the extent expressly provided in the Merger Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non-legal advisors of the Target) and the proposed Lenders, in all such cases at times mutually agreed upon, (c) assistance by you and the Sponsor (and, subject always to the extent expressly provided in the Merger Agreement, your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assistance by the Target) in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum (“Confidential Information Memorandum”) for the Facilities and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, (d) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (which use of commercially reasonable efforts shall not require you to change the proposed terms of the Facilities), upon our request,

 

3


prior to commencement of general syndication of the Facilities, (i) public ratings for the Facilities and (ii) a public corporate credit rating and public corporate family rating in respect of the Borrower, in each case, from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively, and (e) the hosting, with the Arrangers, of up to three meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations mutually agreed upon. Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth above, neither the receipt of such ratings nor the commencement, conduct or completion of such syndication is a condition to the commitments or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.

You agree, at the request of the Arrangers, to assist us in the preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, consisting exclusively of information that is either publicly available or not material (or, in the case of a company that is not a public reporting company, information of a type that would reasonably be expected to be publicly available if such company were a public reporting company) with respect to Redwood Holdings, the Borrower, the Target, Redwood and their subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (all such information and documentation being “Public Lender Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”. It is understood that, in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters, consistent with the terms of this Commitment Letter, will be included in any information package and presentation whereby you authorize the distribution of such information to prospective Lenders containing a representation substantially consistent with the first sentence of Section 4 of this Commitment Letter and a representation by you to the Financial Institutions that the Public Lender Information does not include material non-public information (or, in the case of a company that is not a public reporting company, material information of a type that would not reasonably be expected to be publicly available if such company were a public reporting company) about Redwood Holdings, the Borrower, the Target, Redwood and their respective subsidiaries or their securities and exculpating us with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of such Public Lender Information or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof. You acknowledge and agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of Section 12 of this Commitment Letter, the following documents may be distributed to potential Lenders wishing to receive only Public Lender Information (unless you or your counsel promptly notify us (including by email) otherwise and provided that you and your counsel have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comply with applicable securities law disclosure obligations): (a) term sheets and drafts that are not marked confidential and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such term sheets may be distributed to any potential Lenders unless approved by us (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (b) administrative materials prepared by the Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda); and (c) notification of changes in the previously disclosed terms of the Facilities. You also agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of any other Information (as defined below) or Projections (as defined below) (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) to be distributed to “public side” lenders (i.e., lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information (or, in the case of a company that is not a public reporting company, material information of a type that would

 

4


not reasonably be expected to be publicly available if such company were a public reporting company) with respect to Redwood Holdings, the Borrower, the Target, Redwood and their subsidiaries or any of their respective securities), including by clearly and conspicuously marking such materials “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof. By marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Arrangers and the proposed Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (or, in the case of a company that is not a public reporting company, material information of a type that would not reasonably be expected to be publicly available if such company were a public reporting company) with respect to Redwood Holdings, the Borrower, the Target, Redwood and their subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark the Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”). You hereby acknowledge and agree that any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” shall be treated as Private Lender Information by the Arrangers.

The Lead Arrangers will manage all aspects of any syndication in consultation with you, including (in each case subject to the provisions set forth in this Commitment Letter), decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders, any naming rights and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide (and, subject always to the extent provided in the Merger Agreement, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to provide) to the Arrangers all customary information reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers that is reasonably available to you with respect to Redwood Holdings, the Borrower, Redwood and their respective subsidiaries and the Transactions (as defined in the Transaction Description), including customary financial information and projections (such projections, the “Projections”), as the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Facilities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Arrangers as a condition precedent to closing shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to Exhibit C hereof.

You hereby agree that, prior to the earlier of a Successful Syndication and 60 days after the Closing Date, there shall be no competing issues, offerings or placements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you or the Borrower or your or the Borrower’s subsidiaries, and you will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that there are no competing issues, offerings or placements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Target or Redwood, being offered, placed or arranged (other than the Facilities, debt incurred pursuant to the Other Company Business Debt Commitment Letter (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any indebtedness of the Target and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred or outstanding pursuant to the Merger Agreement and other indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Target and its subsidiaries for capital expenditures and working capital purposes), without the consent of the Lead Arrangers, if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities.

  4. Information.

You hereby represent that (with respect to information relating to Redwood or its subsidiaries, to the best of your knowledge) (a) all written factual information (other than the Projections, forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to us by you, Redwood, the Sponsor or any of your or their representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto) and (b) the Projections and other forward looking information that have been or will be made available to us by you, Redwood, the Sponsor or any of your or their respective representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time such Projections are made available to us; it being understood by the Lenders that such Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results, and that no assurance can be given that the projected results will be realized. You agree that, if at any time prior to the earlier of the occurrence of a Successful Syndication and the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect (to the best of your knowledge with respect to Information and Projections and any forward looking information relating to Redwood or its subsidiaries) in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct (to the best of your knowledge with respect to Information and Projections relating to Redwood or its subsidiaries) in all material respects under those circumstances; provided that the obligations to supplement the Information and Projections under this sentence shall not in any event terminate prior to the Closing Date. In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, we will be entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

 

  5. Fees.

As consideration for the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder, and our agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or to cause the Borrower to pay) to us the fees set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “Fee Letter”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances except as agreed to between you and us.

 

6


  6. Conditions Precedent.

The Initial Lenders’ obligations to fund their respective commitments hereunder, and our agreements to perform the services described herein, are subject solely to (a) the execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities on the terms set forth in the Term Sheet (as may be amended by the “Market Flex” provisions under the Fee Letter), consistent with the Documentation Precedent (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (b) the satisfaction (or waiver by the Initial Lenders) in all material respects of the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet under the paragraph titled “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” and Exhibit C hereto. There shall be no conditions to closing and funding other than those expressly referred to in this Section 6.

 

  7. Indemnification; Expenses.

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each Financial Institution and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members and representatives of each of the foregoing and their respective successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Transactions, the Facilities, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Facilities or any related transaction or any actual or threatened claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any such claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding, a “Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by you, your or Redwood’s or the Target’s equity holders, creditors or any other third party or by the Target, Redwood Holdings, Redwood or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates), and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person promptly upon demand for any reasonable documented out-of-pocket legal expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing by one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and local counsel, if applicable) for such affected Indemnified Person)) and other reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing or in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to (A) losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s controlled or controlling affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or representatives (collectively, such Indemnified Person’s “Related Persons”) (provided that each reference to “representatives” pertains solely to such representatives involved in the negotiation of this Commitment Letter or syndication of the Facilities), or (ii) arising out of a material breach by such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s Related Persons) of its obligations under this Commitment Letter (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in

 

7


a final and non appealable judgment), or (iii) arising out of any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of you or any of your affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Financial Institution in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent, other agent or Arranger under the Facilities), (B) any settlement entered into by such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s Related Persons) without your written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), or (C) any expenses of the type referred to in clause (b) of this sentence except to the extent such expenses would otherwise be of the type referred to in clause (a), and (b) in the event the Closing Date occurs, to reimburse the Financial Institutions from time to time, upon presentation of a reasonably detailed summary statement, for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to expenses of our due diligence investigation, fees of consultants hired with your prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), syndication expenses, travel expenses and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel identified in the Term Sheet and of a single firm of local counsel to the Arrangers in each appropriate jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and local counsel, if applicable) for such affected Indemnified Person)), in each case, incurred in connection with the Facilities and the preparation, negotiation and enforcement of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the definitive documentation for the Facilities and any ancillary documents or security arrangements in connection therewith. You acknowledge that we may receive a benefit, including, without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any of such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with us, including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto. It is further agreed that the Financial Institutions shall have no liability to any person other than you, and you shall have no liability to any person other than the Financial Institutions and the Indemnified Persons in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities or the transactions contemplated hereby. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems except to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Persons. None of the Indemnified Persons or (except solely as a result of your indemnification obligations set forth above to the extent an Indemnified Person is found so liable) you, the Sponsor or any of your or its respective affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, and agents of the foregoing shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Facilities or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 7 shall be superseded in each case by the applicable provisions contained in the definitive financing documentation, to the extent covered thereby, upon execution thereof and thereafter shall have no further force and effect. You shall not, without the prior written consent of each applicable Indemnified Person (which consent, except with respect to a settlement including a statement of the type referred to in clause (y) below, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such

 

8


Indemnified Person unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person and (z) includes customary confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements.

 

  8. Sharing Information; Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Affiliate Activities.

You acknowledge that we may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein or otherwise. We will not furnish confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or our other relationships with you to other companies. You also acknowledge that we do not have any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained by us from other companies.

EXHIBIT A

Project Aspen

$400 million Senior Secured First Lien Term Facility

$40 million Senior Secured First Lien Revolving Credit Facility

Transaction Description

Parent, Redwood Merger Sub and Coin Merger Sub intend to enter into the Merger Agreement with the Target.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Redwood Merger Sub will be merged with and into Redwood, with Redwood surviving such merger as a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Redwood Holdings. Prior to the Closing Date, Coin Merger Sub will commence a tender offer to purchase all of the shares of common stock of the Target (the “Tender Offer”) and, if such shares are accepted for purchase pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Tender Offer, such purchase will occur on the Closing Date prior to the Acquired Business Merger. After giving effect to the Transactions, Redwood will own the movie and video game rental self-service kiosk business of the Target (such business, the “Acquired Business”).

Redwood Holdings will be controlled by investment funds, or affiliates of investment funds, advised, managed or controlled by Apollo Global Management, LLC or its affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor”) and, at the Sponsor’s election, certain co-investors arranged or designated by the Sponsor (collectively with the Sponsor, the “Investors”).

The term “Borrower” means (i) prior to the Merger, Redwood Merger Sub and (ii) thereafter, Redwood.

In connection with the Acquired Business Merger, it is intended that:

1. the Investors will contribute, directly or indirectly, an amount (the “Equity Contribution”) in cash to Coin Holdings in the form of common equity, or other equity on terms reasonably acceptable to the Banks, which would cause the common equity interests of the Borrower on the Closing Date after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, to represent not less than 40% of the total pro forma consolidated capitalization of the Borrower.

For purposes of the foregoing, in determining the consolidated capitalization of the Borrower on the Closing Date, (i) the total amount of equity will be measured as the Redwood Enterprise Valuation less 100% of the aggregate principal amount of funded debt for borrowed money (excluding for purposes of this determination increased levels of debt as a result of all OID and/or upfront fees in respect of the Facilities in connection with the exercise of “Market Flex” provisions under the Fee Letter and any outstanding letters of credit (to the extent undrawn)), (ii) the parties agree that the Redwood Enterprise Valuation is $667 million (without giving effect to any purchase price reduction after the date hereof) and (iii) the total pro forma consolidated capitalization shall be defined as the sum of (x) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of funded debt for borrowed money calculated in accordance with clause (i) above and (y) the total amount of equity as calculated in accordance with clause (i) above.

 

Exh. A-1


In addition, the Sponsor shall directly or indirectly (whether by contract or otherwise) control not less than a majority of the voting and economic interests in the Borrower on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions;

2. the Borrower will obtain (i) the senior secured first lien term loan facility described in the Term Sheet in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) the senior secured first lien revolving credit facility described in the Term Sheet in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities”); and

3. fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing will be paid.

The Acquired Business Merger, the Tender Offer and the other transactions described in this Exhibit A are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

2 

For purposes of all leverage ratios, if additional debt is incurred to fund any OID or upfront fees in connection with the exercise of “Market Flex” provisions under the Fee Letter, then such leverage ratios will be modified upward to reflect any such additional debt.

 

Exh. B-2


   Incremental Facilities secured by liens on the Collateral that rank junior to the liens on the Collateral securing the Facilities, the ratio of all funded debt outstanding that is secured by a lien on the Collateral plus capitalized lease obligations and purchase money indebtedness and unreimbursed drawings under letters of credit (net of up to $75 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the cash proceeds of such Incremental Facilities on the date of incurrence)) to EBITDA (the “Net Secured Leverage Ratio”) on a Pro Forma Basis will be no greater than the Secured Leverage Incurrence Ratio (as defined in the Fee Letter) and, in each case without netting the cash proceeds of such Incremental Facility and assuming, in the case of the establishment of any Incremental Facilities constituting increases to the Revolving Facility or additional revolving credit facilities or delayed draw term facilities, that such facilities were fully drawn on the date of effectiveness thereof;
   (ii) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom (or, in the case of an Incremental facility established for the purpose of an acquisition or similar investment, to the extent required by the applicable incremental assumption agreement, no payment or bankruptcy event of default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom);
   (iii) (1) the loans under such additional credit facilities shall be senior secured obligations and shall rank pari passu with or, at the Borrower’s option, junior in right of security to the Facilities; provided, that, if such additional credit facilities rank junior in right of security with the Facilities, (x) such additional credit facilities will be established as a separate facility from the Facilities, (y) such Incremental Facilities shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement consistent with the Documentation Precedent and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, will not be subject to clause (vii) below and (2) there shall be no borrowers or guarantors in respect of such Incremental Facilities that are not the Borrower, a co-borrower or a Guarantor;
   (iv) the additional revolving loan commitments will mature no earlier than the Revolving Facility, shall have no amortization in an aggregate annual amount greater than 5.00% and all other terms of any such additional revolving loan commitments (other than pricing, maturity, participation in mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions or ranking as to security) shall be substantially similar to the Revolving Facility or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent;

 

Exh. B-3


  

(v) the loans under the additional term loan facilities will mature no earlier than, and will have a weighted average life to maturity no shorter than, that of the Term Facility and all other terms of any such additional term loan facility (other than pricing, amortization, maturity, participation in mandatory prepayments or ranking as to security) shall be substantially similar to the Term Facility or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent;

 

(vi) with respect to mandatory prepayments of term loans and borrowings and prepayments and commitment reductions of revolving loans, the Incremental Facilities shall not participate on a greater than pro rata basis than the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility, respectively;

 

(vii) the interest rate margins and original issue discount or upfront fees (if any) and interest rate floors (if any) applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder; provided that if the “yield” (to be defined to include upfront fees and original issue discount on customary terms and any interest rate floor but excluding any structuring, commitment and arranger fees or similar fees) of any Incremental Facility that is a term loan facility (an “Incremental Term Facility”) that is secured by pari passu liens on the Collateral exceeds the “yield” on the Term Facility by more than 50 basis points, the applicable margins for the Term Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the “yield” on the Term Facility is 50 basis points less than the “yield” on the Incremental Term Facility; provided that, if Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in Annex B-I hereto) in respect of such Incremental Term Facility includes a floor greater than the floor applicable to the Term Facility and such floor is greater than Adjusted LIBOR in effect for a 3-month interest period at such time, such increased amount (above the greater of such floor and such Adjusted LIBOR) shall be equated to interest rate for purposes of determining the applicable interest rate under such Incremental Term Facility; provided that this clause (vii) shall not be applicable to any Incremental Term Facility that is incurred more than 12 months after the Closing Date; and

 

(viii) any Incremental Facilities may include additional or more onerous financial maintenance covenants (each, a “Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant”) so long as, if the Incremental Facility consists of a revolving credit facility or term loans for which a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant will apply, such Previously Absent Financial

 

Exh. B-4


   Maintenance Covenant is added for the benefit of the existing Facilities (it being understood and agreed that no existing Lender consent shall be required in order to add any such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant to the existing Facilities).
Purpose:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Borrower and the Agent reasonably agree that the cost or other consequence of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, no subsidiaries of the Target will be acquired by the Borrower or its subsidiaries or will be Subsidiary Guarantors other than in respect of the Acquired Business.

 

Exh. B-9


Security:    Subject to the exceptions described below and other exceptions to be agreed upon, the Facilities, the Guarantees, and, at the option of the Borrower, any Hedging Arrangements and any Cash Management Arrangements will be secured on a first-priority basis by (a) all of the equity interests of the Borrower directly held by Redwood Holdings and (b) substantially all the assets of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case, whether owned on the Closing Date or thereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”), including but not limited to: (1) a perfected first priority pledge of all the equity interests directly held by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any subsidiary (x) that is a foreign subsidiary of a domestic entity or (y) is a FSHCO, shall be limited to 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of such subsidiary) and (2) perfected first-priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (with all required mortgages being permitted to be delivered on a post-closing basis).
   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Collateral shall exclude the following (collectively, the “Excluded Property”): (i) any fee-owned real property with a fair market value of less than an amount to be agreed and all leasehold interests in real property; (ii) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title, letter of credit rights and commercial tort claims below a threshold to be agreed except, in each case, to the extent a security interest therein can be perfected by filing a UCC-1; (iii) pledges and security interests prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or contractual obligation (with respect to any such contractual restriction permitted under the definitive documentation for the Facilities and binding on such assets to the extent in existence on the Closing Date or the date of acquisition thereof and not entered into in contemplation thereof (other than in connection with the incurrence of indebtedness of the type contemplated by clause (ii) of paragraph 4 under “Negative Covenants” below)) (in each case, except to the extent such prohibition is unenforceable after giving effect to the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code) or which could require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to be pledged (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received); (iv) equity interests in any person other than wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent not permitted by the terms of such person’s organizational documents, joint venture agreement or

 

Exh. B-10

In addition, in no event shall (1) control agreements or control, lockbox or similar arrangements be required, (2) landlord, mortgagee and bailee waivers be required, (3) prior to an Event of Default, notices be required to be sent to account debtors or other contractual third parties or (4) foreign-law governed security documents or perfection under foreign law

 

Exh. B-11


   be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the guarantee by Redwood Holdings will be recourse solely to the stock of the Borrower directly owned by Redwood Holdings.
  

All the above-described pledges and security interests shall be created on terms, and pursuant to documentation, consistent with the Documentation Precedent, subject to exceptions to be reasonably agreed.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, no assets or entities of the Target will be acquired by the Borrower or its subsidiaries or will constitute Collateral other than in respect of the Acquired Business.

Mandatory Prepayments:    Only the following: Unless the net cash proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in the business within 12 months and, if so committed to be reinvested, are actually reinvested within six months after the end of such initial 12-month period, after a non-ordinary course asset sale or other non-ordinary course disposition of property of the Borrower or any restricted subsidiary (including insurance and condemnation proceeds), the Mandatory Prepayment Percentage (as defined in the Fee Letter) of the net cash proceeds in excess of an amount to be agreed upon from such non-ordinary course asset sales or other non-ordinary course dispositions of property shall be applied to prepay the loans under the Term Facility, subject to customary exceptions, exceptions consistent with the Documentation Precedent and other exceptions to be agreed upon.
   In addition, beginning with the first full fiscal year of the Borrower after the Closing Date, the Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Percentage (as defined in the Fee Letter) of Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Precedent) of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (stepping down to the First Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Stepdown Percentage (as defined in the Fee Letter) if the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to the First Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Stepdown Ratio (as defined in the Fee Letter) but greater than the Second Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Stepdown Ratio (as defined in the Fee Letter), and stepping down to the Second Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Stepdown Percentage (as defined in the Fee Letter) if the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to the Second Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Stepdown Ratio) shall be used to prepay the loans under the Term Facility or, no more than ratably, other indebtedness secured by a lien on the Collateral that ranks pari passu with the liens that secure the Term Facility; provided that no voluntary prepayment of loans or such other indebtedness

 

Exh. B-12


  

shall be credited against excess cash flow prepayment obligations on a dollar-for-dollar basis unless such voluntary prepayment is applied to reduce the amount of the Term Facility payable at maturity.

 

In addition, 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of debt obligations of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries after the Closing Date (other than debt permitted under the definitive documentation for the Facilities (other than Refinancing Facilities and Refinancing Notes)) shall be used to prepay the loans under the Term Facility.

   Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender under the Term Facility shall have the right to reject its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayments described above, in which case the amounts so rejected may be retained by the Borrower and used for any purpose not prohibited by the definitive documentation for the Facilities and will be included in the calculation of the “Cumulative Credit” (as defined below).
   The above-described mandatory prepayments shall be applied to the Term Facility in direct order of maturity.
   Prepayments from foreign subsidiaries’ Excess Cash Flow and asset sale proceeds will be limited under the definitive documentation to the extent the repatriation of funds to fund such prepayments (x) is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local laws or (y) would result in material adverse tax consequences, as determined in good faith by the Borrower in consultation with the Agent; provided that in any event the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate such tax effects in its reasonable control in order to make such prepayments.
Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments:   

Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Facilities and prepayments of borrowings thereunder will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon (consistent with the Documentation Precedent), without premium or penalty, except as described below, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of Adjusted LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period. All voluntary prepayments of the Term Facility will be applied as the Borrower may direct.

 

The Borrower shall pay a “prepayment premium” in connection with any Repricing Event (as defined below) with respect to all or

 

Exh. B-13


  

any portion of the Term Facility that occurs on or before the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date, in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term Facility subject to such Repricing Event.

 

The term “Repricing Event” shall mean (i) any voluntary prepayment or repayment of Term Loans (or mandatory prepayment resulting from the incurrence of indebtedness not permitted under the definitive documentation for the Facilities or from the incurrence of Refinancing Facilities) with the proceeds of, or any conversion of Term Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of long-term secured term loans bearing interest with an “effective yield” that is less than the yield applicable to the Term Loans and (ii) any amendment to the Term Facility which reduces the yield applicable to the Term Loans (it being understood that (x) any prepayment premium with respect to a Repricing Event shall apply to any required assignment by a nonconsenting Lender in connection with any such amendment pursuant to so-called yank-a-bank procedures and (y) in each case, the yield shall exclude any structuring, commitment and arranger fees or other similar fees unless such similar fees are paid to all lenders generally in the primary syndication of such new or replacement tranche of term loans), other than, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), in connection with a qualified IPO, a change of control or a transformative acquisition (each such term to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Precedent).

Representations and Warranties:    Only the following representations and warranties will apply (to be applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries and, with respect to customary representations with respect to the validity of the Guarantee, to Redwood Holdings), subject to customary exceptions and qualifications consistent with the Documentation Precedent and others to be agreed upon: organization, existence, and power; qualification; authorization and enforceability; no conflict; governmental consents; subsidiaries; accuracy of financial statements and other information in all material respects; projections; no material adverse change; absence of litigation; compliance with laws (including ERISA, margin regulations and environmental laws); PATRIOT Act; OFAC; Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; laws with respect to sanctioned persons and any applicable anti-corruption laws; payment of taxes; ownership of properties; governmental regulation; inapplicability of the Investment Company Act; closing date solvency on a consolidated basis; labor matters; creation, validity, priority and perfection of security interests in the Collateral; intellectual property; treatment as designated senior debt under subordinated debt documents (if any); use of proceeds; and insurance.

The failure of any representation or warranty (other than the Specified Representations and the Acquired Business Representations) to be true and correct in all material respects on the Closing Date will not constitute the failure of a condition precedent to funding or a default under the Facilities.

1. The Acquired Business Merger and the Tender Offer shall be consummated simultaneously or substantially concurrent with the closing under the Facilities on the terms described in the Merger Agreement, without giving effect to any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification thereof by Parent that is materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such) unless it is approved by the Lead Arrangers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

For the avoidance of doubt, any reduction in the purchase price in connection with the Merger Agreement in respect of any business of the Target other than the Acquired Business (as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Lead Arrangers) shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such).
