restrictions or encumbrances on or affecting the properties and assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that are required to be disclosed in the Time of Sale Information are disclosed therein; (iii) the Company does not know of any

of any portion of any of the Properties is in default under any of the leases governing such Properties and there is no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under any of such leases,

Effect.

the Securities. 
 (bb) Neither the Company nor any of its partners, officers or affiliates has taken or will take, directly or indirectly,

(the “Purchase Price”). 
 On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and
subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Initial Purchasers the 

  

 10 

 
Additional Securities, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase up to $112,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities at
the Purchase Price, plus accrued interest, if any, from the Closing Date to the applicable Option Closing Date (as defined herein). You may exercise this right in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice not later than 30 days
after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall specify the principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers and the date on which such Additional Securities are to be purchased (each, an “Option
Closing Date”). Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice. 
 (b) The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers intend to offer the Securities for resale on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Information.
Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees that:

institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”) and an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act; 
 (ii) it has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by means of
any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act; and 
 (iii) it has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or
sell, the Securities as part of their initial offering except within the United States to persons whom it reasonably believes to be QIBs in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and in connection with
each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser of the Securities is aware that such sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A. 
 (c) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 5(f) and 5(g), counsel for the Company and counsel
for the Initial Purchasers, respectively, may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in paragraph (b) above, and each
Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance. 
 (d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may offer and sell
Securities to or through any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Initial Purchaser. 
 (e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to
the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as financial advisors or fiduciaries to, or agents of, the Company or any other person.
Additionally, the Initial Purchasers are not advising the Company or any other 

  

 11 

 
person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with their own advisors concerning
such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither Initial Purchaser shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto.
Any review by any Initial Purchaser of the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of such Initial Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall not be on
behalf of the Company or any other person. 
 3. Payment and Delivery.

 4. Further Agreements of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees, the Parent covenants and agrees solely for purposes of Section 4(k) and (p), with each Initial Purchaser that: 
 (a) The Company will deliver to the Initial Purchasers as many copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information and the
Offering Memorandum (including all amendments and supplements thereto) as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request. 
 (b) Before
finalizing the Offering Memorandum or making or distributing any amendment or supplement to any of the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum or filing with the Commission any document that will be incorporated by reference therein, the
Company will furnish to the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers a copy of 

  

 12 

 
the proposed Offering Memorandum or such amendment or supplement or document to be incorporated by reference therein for review, and will not distribute any
such proposed Offering Memorandum, amendment or supplement or file any such document with the Commission to which the Initial Purchasers reasonably objects. 
 (c) Before using, authorizing, approving or referring to any written communication (as defined in the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (an
“Issuer Written Communication”) (other than written communications that are listed on Annex A hereto and the Offering Memorandum), the Company will furnish to the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers a copy of
such written communication for review and will not use, authorize, approve or refer to any such written communication to which the Initial Purchasers reasonably objects, unless legal counsel for the Company advises the Company that such amendment or
supplement is necessary to correct an untrue statement of material fact or omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Time of Sale Information or Offering Memorandum, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading or if such amendment or supplement is required by applicable by law;” 
 (d) The Company will advise the
Initial Purchasers promptly (i) of the issuance by any governmental or regulatory authority of any order preventing or suspending the use of any of the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for that purpose; (ii) of the occurrence of any event at any time prior to the completion of the initial offering of the Securities as a result of which any of the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum as then amended
or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when such Time of Sale Information or the Offering
Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; and (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order preventing or suspending the use of any of the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum or
suspending any such qualification of the Securities and, if any such order is issued, will obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. 
 (e) (1) If at any time prior to the completion of the initial offering of the Securities (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Offering Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or
(ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Initial Purchasers thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (b) above, furnish to the Initial
Purchasers such amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Offering Memorandum as so amended or
supplemented (or including such document to be incorporated by reference therein) will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Offering Memorandum 

  

 13 

 
will comply with law and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which any
of the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement any of the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Initial Purchasers thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to
paragraph (b) above, furnish to the Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to any of the Time of Sale Information (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the
statements in any of the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading. 
 (f) The Company will endeavor to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers shall reasonably request; provided that in no event
shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or take any action that would subject it to general service of process suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the
securities as contemplated by this Agreement and each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, in any jurisdiction where it is not now subject. 
 (g) While the Securities remain outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Company will, during any period in which the Company is not
subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, furnish to holders of the Securities, prospective purchasers of the Securities designated by such holders and securities analysts, in each case upon request, the
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 (h) The Company will apply the net proceeds
from the sale of the Securities as described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum under the heading “Use of Proceeds.” 
 (i) The Company will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers in arranging for the Securities to be designated Private Offerings, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages (“PORTAL”) Market securities in
accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) relating to trading in the PORTAL Market and for the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

 (j) The Company will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements, if any, required to be filed by the
Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

of the Initial Purchasers, neither the Company nor the Parent will, during the period ending 60 days after the date of the Offering Memorandum, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any
option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common

registration statement under the Securities Act relating to any additional shares of its Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, any shares of its Common Stock, or publicly disclose the intention to effect any transaction
described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to (A) the sale of the Securities under this Agreement or the issuance of the Exchange Securities or the Underlying Securities, (B) the grant by the Company and/or the Parent of employee or director stock options in the
ordinary course of business, the issuance by the Parent of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion or exchange of a security of the Company or the Parent outstanding on the date hereof, (C) the

consideration in connection with future acquisitions or strategic investments of the Company and/or the Parent or securities of the Company and/or the Parent issuable upon exercise or conversion or exchange of the foregoing securities and
(F) the filing of any registration statement by the Company or the Parent in respect of any of the securities described in clauses (A) through (E) or in connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock by employees or directors to
the extent such sales are permitted by the terms of the “lock-up” agreements referred to in Section 5(m) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 60-day restricted period, the Company and/or
the Parent issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company and/or the Parent occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 60-day restricted period, the Company and/or the Parent announces that it will
release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 60-day period, the restrictions imposed by this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings
release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. 
 (l) Prior to any registration of the Securities pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, or at such earlier time as may be so required, to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and to enter into any necessary supplemental indentures in connection therewith; 
 (m) During the period from the Closing Date until two years after the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, if applicable, the Company will not, and
will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Securities that have been acquired by any of them, except for Securities purchased by the Company or any of its affiliates and resold in a
transaction registered under the Securities Act. 
 (n) Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of
Regulation D) will, directly or through any agent, sell, offer for sale, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act), that is or will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act. 
  

 15 

 (o) None of the Company or any of its affiliates or any other person acting on its or their behalf (other
than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no covenant is given) will (i) solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D
or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. 
 (p) The Parent will reserve
and keep available at all times, free of pre-emptive rights, shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company and the Parent to satisfy all obligations to issue the Underlying Securities upon exchange of the Securities. The Parent will
use its best efforts to cause the Underlying Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

 6. Indemnification and Contribution. 
 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any
claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other
Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any
information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein. 
  

 18 

 (b) Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its affiliates, directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph
(a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any
information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: (i) the last paragraph on the front cover page relating to the delivery of securities; (ii) the third and fourth
sentences of the third paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” relating to the offering price; and (iii) the second paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution—Over-Allotment Option, Price
Stabilization” relating to over-allotment, stabilization and syndicate covering transactions. 
 (c) If any suit, action, proceeding
(including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the
“Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve
it from any liability that it may have under this Section except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure
to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall
have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section
that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed
within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition
to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Company and
any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be
a final judgment for the plaintiff, 

  

 19 

 
the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The
Indemnified Person shall notify the Indemnifying Person promptly upon any such settlement or final judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the
Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more
than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person
shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder
by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability or claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding and (B) 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. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person
as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the
Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities
and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
by the Company or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (e) The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph
(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to 

  

 20 

 
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the
Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint. 
 (f) The remedies provided for in this
Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
 7. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Initial Purchasers, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the
Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended
on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation
of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed
with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum. 
 8. Payment of Expenses. 
 (a) Whether
or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without
limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection (it being understood that such taxes shall not include any taxes on original issue
discount on the Securities); (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the
distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) any fees charged by rating agencies for
rating the Securities; (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (vii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the application
for the inclusion of the Securities on the PORTAL Market and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (viii) any fees or costs incident to listing the Underlying Securities on the NYSE; and (ix) all expenses incurred
by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors. It is 

  

 21 

 
understood that, except as provided in Section 8(b), the Initial Purchasers will pay all of its costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of
its counsel, in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. 
 (b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by the
Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 5, other than Section 5(h) hereof, or (ii) the Company for any reason, except failure to deliver the Securities as a result of the events described in Section 5(i), fails to tender the
Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers, the Company agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in
connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. 
 9. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers and directors of each Initial Purchaser and the Company. Nothing in
this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser
shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase. 
 10. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of
contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered
pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Initial
Purchasers. 
 11. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term
“affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term

 Date:                      , 200

 You have been granted an award of restricted stock (the “Restricted Stock Award”) by Coinstar, Inc. (the

 COINSTAR, INC. 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT FOR AWARDS TO CEO OR CFO 
 Pursuant to your Notice of Restricted
Stock Award, (the “Grant Notice”) the Company has awarded you an award of restricted stock (the “Restricted Stock Award”) under its 1997 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice. The Grant Notice, the Plan and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) govern the
terms of the award. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan. 
 1. Vesting 
 Shares that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture according to the vesting schedule set forth in
the Grant Notice are referred to herein as “Vested Shares.” Shares that are not vested and remain subject to forfeiture under the preceding schedule are referred to herein as “Unvested Shares.” The
Unvested Shares will vest (and to the extent so vested cease to be Unvested Shares remaining subject to forfeiture) in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. Collectively, the Unvested Shares and the Vested Shares are
referred to herein as the “Shares.” 
 2. Transfer Restrictions 
 Any sale, transfer, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer
or disposition of any kind, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of Unvested Shares shall be strictly prohibited and void, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 3. Status of Participant 
 You will be recorded as a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares and will have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares, including voting rights; provided, however, that you will not accrue or be entitled to any dividends with respect to Unvested
Shares. 
 4. Securities Law Compliance 
 4.1 You represent and warrant that you (a) have been furnished with all information which you deem necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of receipt of the Shares, (b) have had the opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers concerning the information received about the Shares and the Company, and (c) have been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information you deem necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning
the Shares and the Company. 

 4.2 You hereby agree that you 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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws covering any such transaction involving the Shares or
(b) the Company receives an opinion of your legal counsel (concurred in by legal counsel for the Company) stating that such transaction is exempt from registration or the Company otherwise satisfies itself that such transaction is exempt from
registration. You understand that the Company has no obligation to you to register the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has not represented to you that it will so register the Shares. 
 4.3 You confirm that you have been advised, prior to your receipt of the Shares, that neither the offering of the Shares nor any offering
materials have been reviewed by any administrator under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities act. 
 4.4 You hereby
agree to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against any loss, claim or liability, including attorneys’ fees or legal expenses, incurred by the Company as a result of any breach by you of, or any inaccuracy in, any
representation, warranty or statement made by you in this Agreement or the breach by you of any terms or conditions of this Agreement. 
 5. Termination
of Employment; Company Transaction 
 5.1 Termination of Employment 
 Except as provided in Section 5.2 below, in the event your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates for any reason,
including without limitation, your voluntary termination, termination by the Company, or the occurrence of your death, disability or retirement, the Unvested Shares shall be forfeited by you without payment of any further consideration to you.

 5.2 Company Transaction 
 In the event of a merger, reorganization or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, then (a) if the performance goal set forth in the Grant Notice has been met, 100% of any Unvested Shares shall automatically become
fully vested so that the restrictions on the Unvested Shares will lapse and the Unvested Shares will no longer be subject to forfeiture and (b) if the performance goal set forth in the Grant Notice has not been met, then any Unvested Shares
shall be forfeited by you without payment of any further consideration to you. 
  

 -2- 

 6. Section 83(b) Election for Restricted Stock Award; Independent Tax Advice 
 You understand that under Section 83(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), the fair market value of the
Unvested Shares on the date the forfeiture restrictions lapse will be taxed, on the date such forfeiture restrictions lapse, as ordinary income subject to payroll and withholding tax and tax reporting, as applicable. For this purpose, the term
“forfeiture restrictions” means the right of the Company to receive back any Unvested Shares as provided in this Agreement. You understand that you may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at ordinary income rates on the
fair market value of the Unvested Shares at the time they are acquired, rather than when and as the Unvested Shares cease to be subject to the forfeiture restrictions. Such election (an “83(b) Election”) must be filed with
the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the grant date of the Restricted Stock Award. 
 You understand that there are
significant risks associated with the decision to make and 83(b) Election. If you make an 83(b) Election and the Unvested Shares are subsequently forfeited to the Company, you will not be entitled to a deduction for any ordinary income previously
recognized as a result of the 83(b) Election. If you make an 83(b) Election and the value of the Unvested Shares subsequently declines, the 83(b) Election may cause you to recognize more compensation income than you would have otherwise recognized.
On the other hand, if the value of the Unvested Shares increases and you have not made an 83(b) Election, you may recognize more compensation income than you would have if you had made the election. 
 THE FORM FOR MAKING AN 83(b) ELECTION IS ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AS EXHIBIT B. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE AN 83(b) ELECTION, IT IS
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FILE SUCH AN ELECTION WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND THAT FAILURE TO FILE SUCH AN ELECTION WITHIN THE 30-DAY PERIOD MAY RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION OF ORDINARY INCOME BY YOU AS THE FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS LAPSE. You
further understand that an additional copy of such election form should be filed with your federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls. You acknowledge that the foregoing is only a summary of the
federal income tax laws that apply to the award of the Shares under this Agreement and does not purport to be complete. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY HAS DIRECTED YOU TO SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE REGARDING THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF
THE CODE AND THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH YOU MAY RESIDE. 
 You agree to execute and
deliver to the Company with this Agreement a copy of the Acknowledgment and Statement of Decision Regarding Section 83(b) Election (the “Acknowledgment”) attached hereto as Exhibit A. You further agree that
if you choose to make an 83(b) Election with the Internal Revenue Service, you will also deliver to the Company with this signed Agreement a signed copy of the 83(b) Election. 
  

 -3- 

 You acknowledge that determining the actual tax consequences to you of receiving or disposing of the
Shares may be complicated. These tax consequences will depend, in part, on your specific situation and may also depend on the resolution of currently uncertain tax law and other variables not within the control of the Company. You are aware that you
should consult a competent and independent tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax consequences to you of receiving or disposing of the Shares. Prior to executing this Agreement, you either have consulted with a competent tax
advisor independent of the Company to obtain tax advice concerning the Shares in light of your specific situation or have had the opportunity to consult with such a tax advisor but have chosen not to do so. 
 7. 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 your name and the applicable restrictions will be noted in the records of the Company’s transfer agent and in the book entry system. No
certificate(s) representing all or a part of the Shares will be issued until the Shares become Vested Shares. 
 8. Stop-Transfer Notices 

You understand and agree that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to in this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate
“stop-transfer” 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, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee
to whom the Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement. 
 9. Tax Withholding 
 As a condition to the removal of restrictions from your Vested Shares registered in book entry form with the Company’s transfer agent, you agree to
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that arise either upon receipt of the Shares or as the forfeiture restrictions on any Shares lapse. You may satisfy
such withholding obligation by any of the following means or a combination thereof: (a) tendering a cash payment, (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the Restricted
Stock Award (up to the employer’s minimum tax withholding rate) or (c) delivering to the Company already owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock (up to the employer’s minimum required tax withholding rate to the extent the
shares have been held for less than six months). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, you acknowledge and agree that the Company and any Affiliate has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to you any federal, state, local or
foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock Award.
