</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation&#146;s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1)
for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of the law, (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (regarding unlawful
dividends and stock purchases) or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated
bylaws provide that (1)&nbsp;the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to certain very limited
exceptions, (2)&nbsp;the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and
officers
in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, subject to certain very limited exceptions and (3)&nbsp;the rights conferred in the
amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification provision in the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Registrant&#146;s directors and officers for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. The Registrant has also obtained directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. At
present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer or employee of
the Registrant regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any such
threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;

required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to

benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:
(a) the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed
on February 26, 2009, as amended by the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year
ended December 31, 2008, filed on March 27, 2009, which contains audited financial statements for
the most recent fiscal year for which such statements have been filed;
(b) the Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and
June 30, 2009, filed on May 11, 2009 and August 6, 2009, respectively, which contain unaudited
interim financial statements;
(c) the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2009 (excluding the
report filed with respect to Item 2.02 and related Item 9.01), February 27, 2009, March 4, 2009,
March 30, 2009 (both reports filed on such date), April 6, 2009, April 21, 2009, May 1, 2009, May
21, 2009, June 8, 2009, and July 21, 2009; and
(d) the description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A filed on November 25, 2008 under Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any amendments or
reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that
indicates that the securities offered hereby have been sold or that deregisters the securities
covered hereby then remaining unsold, shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference into
this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof commencing on the respective dates on which
such documents are filed.
Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
None.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's amended and restated
certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of the law, (3) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (regarding unlawful
dividends and stock purchases) or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's amended and restated
bylaws provide that (1) the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to certain very limited
exceptions, (2) the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and
officers
in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, subject to certain very limited exceptions and (3) the rights conferred in the
amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.
The indemnification provision in the Registrant's amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act. The Registrant has also obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance. At
present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer or employee of
the Registrant regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any such
threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Coinstar, Inc. 1997 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (incorporated by
reference to Appendix A of the definitive proxy statement filed by the Registrant
on May 4, 2009)
Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
