ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On April 8, 2004, Cedar Fair, L.P. (the "Registrant") completed the acquisition of Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, located near Cleveland, Ohio, from Six Flags, Inc., in a cash transaction valued at $144,250,000.

The transaction involved the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the park, including the adjacent hotel and campground, but excluded all animals located at the park, all personal property assets directly related to those animals, the use of the name "Six Flags" and the intellectual property related to that name, and the license to use Warner Bros. characters, all of which are being retained by Six Flags. Cedar Fair assumed the complete operations and management of the park as of April 9 and has renamed the park "Geauga Lake." Cedar Fair and Six Flags determined the purchase price in arms-length negotiations.

Cedar Fair entered into a new long-term financing arrangement to fund a portion of the cash purchase price. A private placement of $75 million was completed with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and its affiliates to provide funds for terms of seven to eleven years at a fixed rate of 4.72%. Cedar Fair funded the balance of the purchase price through an expansion of its revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association and six other banks.

Geauga Lake is a family-oriented theme park situated on approximately 690 acres, including a 50-acre spring-fed lake. The park offers its guests a wide variety of rides and attractions, including 10 roller coasters, several children's areas, a water park, and various live shows, and entertains more than 1.5 million guests each year, principally from the Cleveland/Akron, Youngstown and Pittsburgh markets. Geauga Lake's 2004 operating season is scheduled to begin on May 1.

Section 1.7 Post-Closing Adjustment

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth Sellers' estimate of the aggregate value of the Scheduled Liabilities (the "Estimated Scheduled Liabilities Valuation"), including an itemized list showing Sellers' estimate of each of the Scheduled Liabilities. The Estimated Scheduled Liabilities Valuation shall be prepared (i) in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Financial Statements of the Business. The Estimated Scheduled Liabilities Valuation shall be used to calculate the Closing Payment absent manifest error.

(b) No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement setting forth the aggregate value of the Scheduled Liabilities as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Liabilities Valuation"), including an itemized list showing Buyer's determination of the value of each of the Scheduled Liabilities. The Closing Date Liabilities Valuation shall be prepared (i) in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Financial Statements of the Business.

(c) After receipt of the Closing Date Liabilities Valuation, Sellers shall have thirty (30) days (the "Sellers' Review Period") to review it. If, within Sellers' Review Period, Sellers notify Buyer in writing that they object to any item(s) on the Closing Date Liabilities Valuation and specify the item(s) and amount(s) in dispute and the basis for such dispute (the "Sellers' Amendment Notice"), the parties shall use their best efforts to reach agreement in respect of the disputed items within the fifteen (15) day-period (the "Resolution Period") following the delivery of Sellers' Amendment Notice. Any item(s) on the Closing Date Liabilities Valuation not identified in writing as a disputed item within Sellers' Review Period shall be deemed to have been accepted by Sellers and not subject to any further review or change. If no Sellers' Amendment Notice is received by Buyer during Sellers' Review Period, the Closing Date Liabilities Va luation shall be deemed accepted by Sellers.

(d) If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period the parties have not reached an agreement on Sellers' objections, then all amounts and issues remaining in dispute shall be submitted by Sellers and Buyer to a Neutral Accountant. The fees, costs and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne proportionately by Buyer and Sellers to the extent that each party's calculation of the aggregate value of the Scheduled Liabilities differs from the final Scheduled Liabilities Valuation as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant. All costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with resolving any dispute under this Section 1.7 before the Neutral Accountant shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. The Neutral Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine only those issues still in dispute at the end of the Sellers' Review Period. The Neutral Accountant's determination shall be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement, shall be set fo rth in a written statement delivered to the Sellers and Buyer and shall be final, binding, conclusive and nonappealable for all purposes hereunder. The term "Final Scheduled Liabilities Valuation" shall mean the aggregate value of the Scheduled Liabilities as agreed to by Sellers and Buyer in accordance with Section 1.7(c) or the aggregate value of the Scheduled Liabilities resulting from the determination made by the Neutral Accountant in accordance with this Section 1.7(d) (in addition to those items theretofore agreed to by Sellers and Buyer during the Resolution Period or otherwise in accordance with Section 1.7(c)).

(e) If the Purchase Price is less than the Closing Payment, then the excess portion of the Closing Payment over the Purchase Price shall be paid by the Sellers to the Buyer. If the Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Payment, then the excess portion of the Purchase Price over the Closing Payment shall be paid by Buyer to the Sellers. The amount of any payment by Buyer or Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.7(e) plus interest thereon from and including the Closing Date but excluding the date of payment at the rate of 6.0% per annum shall be paid by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five business days after the Final Scheduled Liabilities Valuation is agreed to by Sellers and Buyer or is determined by the Neutral Accountant in accordance with this Section 1.7.

Section 1.8 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

No more than thirty (30) days before a payment of 2004 Property Taxes by Sellers, whether in accordance with customary procedures for the payment of Property Taxes, pursuant to audit findings or otherwise in accordance with applicable law, Sellers shall provide Buyer with a copy of the relevant return, assessment or other documentation or a certification of the amount of the payment to be made within such thirty (30) day period (a "Payment Certification"). At least one day before the due date of each payment of 2004 Property Taxes, Buyer shall pay to Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers in writing, Buyer's share of the total payment shown on such Payment Certification, as determined in accordance with this Section 1.9(a). Sellers shall pay, and indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against, all 2004 Property Taxes timely paid by Buyer to Sellers in accordance with this Section 1.9(a), all 2004 Property Taxes apportioned to Sellers in accordance with this Section 1.9(a) and all Property Taxes with respect to periods prior to 2004. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers against any liability in respect of 2004 Property Taxes apportioned to Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.9(a) that are not timely paid by Buyer to Sellers. This Section 1.9(a) sh all survive the Closing until the lapse of the latest statute of limitations applicable to 2004 Property Taxes. Buyer shall, promptly upon receipt, provide to Sellers all notices, bills, assessments and other correspondence relating to 2004 Property Taxes or to Property Taxes for any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to the extent allocable to the portion of such period up to and including the Closing Date).

The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year.

(d) Personal Property Leases, Contracts and Agreements and Permits. Sellers and Buyer shall make such prorations and adjustments under all Personal Property Leases, Contracts and Agreements and Permits as shall be reasonably necessary to reflect Sellers' responsibility thereunder for the period of time prior to and including the Closing and Buyer's responsibility thereunder for the period of time after the Closing Date.

(e) Errors. If any errors or omissions are made at the Closing regarding adjustments or prorations, the parties shall make the appropriate corrections promptly after the discovery thereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year.

Any such investigation and examination shall be coordinated by Sellers and Buyer and conducted during regular business hours upon reasonable advance notice subject to restrictions under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such investigation or examination shall be permitted to the extent that it would require Sellers to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege or conflict with any confidentiality obligations to which any of the Sellers is bound.

If Buyer proposes a means that provides reasonable assurance of protecting the information or privilege, Sellers shall then promptly disclose the information at issue. Subject to these limitations, Buyer and Buyer's agents will be given the right to perform and conduct any and all necessary physical, engineering, environmental and other inspections of the Assets and all other relevant agreements and documents relating to the Assets as Buyer may reasonably request. Buyer shall restore the Assets to a condition substantially similar to the condition such Assets were in prior to any such testing.

(b) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Sellers agree that they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the business of the Business in such a manner so that the representations and warranties of Sellers contained herein shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date.

Section 4.3 Consents and Approvals. In accordance with, and subject to Section 1.10 of this Agreement, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Permits required to be obtained by them from any appropriate governmental agency or authority or other person in connection with the consummation of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation (a) securing, whether before or after the Closing, all third party consents to the assignment of the Permits, Personal Property Leases, Real Property Leases and Contracts and Agreements, and (b) filing under the HSR Act, furnishing all requested materials throughout the HSR process (including any "second request"), and cooperating with all governmental agencies and authorities.

(b) any event, condition or circumstance occurring from the date hereof through the Closing Date that would constitute a material violation or breach of any Sellers' representation or warranty, whether made as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date, or that would constitute a material violation or breach of any covenant of any party contained in this Agreement.

Subject to reasonable approval of Sellers, Buyer and the Title Company, and consistent with applicable laws and governmental requirements, the metes and bounds legal description of the Owned Real Property contained in the Title Policy shall be used in the Deeds. In the event that the metes and bounds legal description used in the Final Survey (the "Final Survey Legal") is different from that contained in the Title Policy and/or in the Deeds, the parties agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Title Policy to be endorsed to use the Final Survey Legal and Sellers will file corrective deeds to ensure the vesting in Buyer of all Owned Real Property. The cost of obtaining the New Surveys shall be borne equally by Sellers and the Buyer.

Section 4.8 Software License. Sellers agree to cooperate with Buyer and reasonably assist Buyer, both before and for a reasonable period of time after Closing, in securing certain software used for the operation of the Business, as reasonably requested by Buyer. In particular, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable one (1) year software license with Buyer for such Business software owned by Sellers (including, but not limited to software related to the ticket system used in the Business), which license shall apply solely to the Business. In addition, Sellers shall assist Buyer in obtaining consents or licenses from third party owners of such operating software which is licensed to Sellers and available for use by the Business after the Transaction. In no event will Sellers be obligated to make any payments in respect of securing for use by Buyer any such software used in the operation of the Business.

Section 4.9 Title and Survey Objections/Cure of Title and Survey Objections. Buyer has delivered to Sellers the written notice attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Initial Objection Letter") listing all objections Buyer has to matters contained in the Title Commitments and any matters shown on the Initial Surveys ("Pre-Closing Objections"); provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be entitled to raise any Objection with respect to Permitted Exceptions. Furthermore, within fifteen (15) business days after receiving the Final Survey, Buyer shall provide written notice (the "Second Objection Letter," and, collectively with the Initial Objection Letter, the "Objection Letters") of objections Buyer may have to matters shown on the Final Survey, which shall exclude those matters which were depicted on the Initial Surveys and those matters which constitute Permitted Exceptions ("Post-Closing Objections," and, collectively with Pre-Closing Objections, "Objection(s)"). Sellers agree to cure any Objections which can be cured by the payment of a fixed sum of money (such as mortgages, judgment liens and mechanics liens) ("Monetary Objections"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary set forth herein:

(a) Timing. If Buyer fails to notify Sellers of an objection within the time provided herein, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Title Policy and Surveys subject to such objection and the basis therefore and such objection shall be deemed a Permitted Exception (except any Encumbrance to be released at or before Closing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Sellers of any Objection promptly upon discovering the basis for such Objection, which shall in all events be no later than the time period set forth above.

(b) Pre-Closing Objections. Sellers shall have until the Closing (or such longer period requested by Sellers as Buyer may in writing approve) to cure or remove, or have the Title Company insure over through Affirmative Assurance, all or any Pre-Closing Objections. If Seller is unable to effect a cure, removal or Affirmative Assurance of any Pre-Closing Objections prior to Closing (or any date to which Closing has been adjourned), Buyer shall accept conveyance of the Owned Real Property at Closing, subject to such Pre-Closing Objection in which event any such uncured Pre-Closing Objection automatically shall be deemed to be a Post-Closing Objection which shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.9(c), below; whereupon, Sellers shall convey the Owned Real Property as required under this Agreement subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

(c) Post-Closing Objections. From and after the delivery of the Second Objection Letter, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect, on written notice ("Cure Notice") to the Sellers and Title Company within six (6) months of the Closing Date, to cure or remove ("Cure") any of the Post-Closing Objections, at Seller's sole cost and expense. Within twenty (20) business days of receiving a Cure Notice, Sellers shall provide Buyer with written notice setting forth, in reasonable specificity, Sellers' proposed method ("Cure Plan") to be used by Buyer, at Sellers' sole cost and expense, to effect such Cure.

Sellers agree to execute any and all affidavits or other documents (including, without limitation, indemnification agreements) reasonably required by the Title Company in order for the Title Company to issue the Title Policy as required by this Agreement and to otherwise remove and/or cure any and all Post-Closing Objections and as to those Post-Closing Objections that cannot be removed or cured by the Title Company, to provide affirmative assurance to Buyer in form and substance acceptable to Buyer including, without limitation, affirmative assurance in respect of any encroachments against forced removal, forfeiture or reversion of title of any Improvements (the "Affirmative Assurance").

(d) Indemnification. In the event Sellers are not able or willing to cure any Post-Closing Objection and the Title Company is unable or unwilling to provide the Affirmative Assurance, then Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and Buyer's Indemnified Persons from and against all Losses with respect thereto as provided under Sections 9.2 and 9.5(g) of this Agreement, and subject to the terms thereof.

Section 4.10. Disclosure Schedules. Sellers may, at their option, include in the Schedules items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. All matters disclosed in a Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed in each Schedule to which it is, upon review of all Schedules, reasonably apparent that such matters relate.

Following the Closing, and for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, Buyer will permit representatives of Sellers access to the Business in order to continue the care and feeding of the animals located thereat and to arrange for the removal of the Animal Assets. Such activity will be at Sellers' sole cost and expense and will be conducted at times and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer and designed to minimize interference with Buyer's operation of the Business. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties that Sellers shall retain all liabilities related to the care and maintenance of the Animal Assets, including, but not limited to, all costs incurred to care for and maintain the Animal Assets, either before or after the Closing. Sellers shall also retain all risks related to the Animal Assets and the risk of loss of the Animal Assets, either before or after the Closi ng. Parent and Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Buyer from and against the entirety of any Losses Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Animal Assets, except to the extent such Losses are the result of Buyer's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Sellers agree to preserve and keep the records held by them or their respective affiliates relating to the Business for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records available to the Buyer as may be reasonably required by such party in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, legal proceedings or tax audits against or governmental investigations of Buyer or any of its respective affiliates in order to enable Buyer to comply with its respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event Sellers wish to destroy such records after that time, any Seller shall first give ninety (90) days prior written notice to Buyer and Buyer shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to Sellers within that ninety (90) day period, to take possession of the records within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of such notice.

Section 5.7 Maintenance of Assets.

Subject to the survival periods set forth in Section 9.1 and the claim procedures set forth in Section 9.5 hereof, Parent and Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its successors and assigns, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates ("Buyer's Indemnified Persons"), against any Losses actually incurred as the result of (a) a breach of any representation or warranty by Sellers contained in this Agreement or the other agreements to be delivered in connection with the closing of this Transaction; (b) a breach of the covenants and agreements of Sellers contained in this Agreement or the other agreements to be delivered in connection with the closing of this Transaction; (c) any Excluded Liabilities; (d) enforcement of this Section 9.2; (e) Liabilities arising from Prepaid Revenue to the extent not previously reflected in the Final Scheduled Liabilities Valuation; and (f) any Losses that are incurred in connection with any Claim made by the holder of any undivided fee simple interest in Parcel 6 of the Campground Property, including, without limitation, any cost incurred by Buyer in foreclosing on such interest; or (g) the Post-Closing Objections as specifically set forth in Section 4.9(c); provided, however, that, with respect to any Claims of Buyer for Losses pursuant to Section (a) above (other than for Losses in respect of a breach of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.14), neither Parent nor Sellers shall be liable for any such Losses unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses resulting to the Buyer's Indemnified Persons from all such breaches or claims exceeds $1,500,000 (the "Allowance"), and then Parent and Sellers shall be liable for all such amounts starting from the first dollar. In no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Parent and Sellers with respect to Claims for Losses resulting from the Second Objection Letter pursuant to Section 4.9(c) and pursuant to Section (a) above (other than for Losses in respect of a breach of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.14 and 5.5) exceed $30,000,000 (the "Cap"). Regardless of any limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including, without limitation, those in this Section 9.2), Parent and Sellers shall defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against Losses incurred to complete the project identified on Schedule 9.2 (the "Scheduled Project").

Section 9.3 Indemnity by Buyer. Subject to the survival periods set forth in Section 9.1 and the claim procedures set forth in Section 9.5 hereof, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Parent and Sellers, their respective successors and assigns, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates ("Sellers' Indemnified Persons") against any Losses which any of Sellers' Indemnified Persons may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as the result of (a) a breach of any representation or warranty by Buyer contained in this Agreement or the other agreements to be delivered in connection with the Closing of this Transaction; (b) a breach of the covenants and agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement or the other agreements to be delivered in connection with the closing of this Transaction; (c) any Assumed Liabilities; or (d) enforcement of this Section 9.3; provided, however, that, with respect to any Claims of Buyer for Losses pursuan t to Section (a) above (other than for Losses in respect of a breach of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3), Buyer shall not be liable for any such Losses unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses resulting to Sellers' Indemnified Persons from all such breaches or claims exceeds the Allowance set forth in Section 9.2, and then Buyer shall be liable for all such amounts starting from the first dollar. In no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Buyer with respect to any Claims of Buyer for Losses pursuant to Section (a) above (other than for Losses in respect of a breach of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3) exceed the Cap.

Section 9.4 Tax Indemnity. Parent and Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Buyer from and against the entirety of any Losses the Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by any Liability of the Parent or Sellers (a) for any Taxes of the Sellers for any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to the extent allocable to the portion of such period up to and including the Closing Date) and (b) for the unpaid Taxes of any Person (other than Sellers) under Treasury regulation Sec. 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. Buyer shall, promptly upon receipt, provide to Sellers all Tax notices, bills, assessments and other correspondence relating to Taxes for any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (or for any Tax peri od beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to the extent allocable to the portion of such period up to and including the Closing Date).

Section 9.5 Claims Procedure.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any event that a party hereto (the "Indemnified Party") asserts to be the basis for a claim for indemnification against the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Article IX (a "Claim"), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice (a "Claim Notice") to the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing, which Claim Notice shall set forth (i) a particular description of the event or condition that is the basis for the Claim; and (ii) the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy such Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

(b) If the Claim involves the claim of any third person (a "Third-Party Claim"), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its own choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, so long as the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party of such defense in writing within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel unless (i) the employment of such separate counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the I ndemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, or (iii) the named parties to the proceeding in which such Claim has been asserted include both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party and, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, there exists one or more defenses that may be available to the Indemnified Party that are in conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party.

(c) The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.5 to the contrary: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), unless as part of such judgment or settlement the Indemnified Party is released in writing from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim and the business of the Indemnified Party will not become subject to any restrictions or conditions not previously applicable to it or otherwise be adversely affected, and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless as part of such judgment or settlement the Indemnifying Party is released in writing from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim and the business of the Indemnifying Party will not become subject to any restrictions or conditions not previously applicable to it or otherwise be adversely affected.

(d) In the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.5(b), the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with or obtain any consent from the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith).

(e) Whenever the Indemnified Party shall have given a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Claim Notice, notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes the Claim for indemnification set forth in such Claim Notice (a "Dispute Notice"). If, with respect to the claim for indemnification set forth in a Claim Notice, no Dispute Notice is given to the Indemnified Party within such thirty (30) day period, the Claim shall be deemed valid, and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay to the Indemnified Party the amount specified in the Claim Notice with respect to such Claim. If a Dispute Notice is given to the Indemnified Party, the dispute that is the subject of such notice shall be resolved as follows: The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall first attempt to resolve the dispute through a good faith discussion of th e Claim. If such discussion does not result in a resolution acceptable to either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, either party may resort to any remedies available in law or in equity in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) Regardless of any other provisions to the contrary, Buyer shall undertake, direct and control any work not completed by Closing related to the Scheduled Project identified on Schedule 9.2. In conducting such work, Buyer shall act in a commercially reasonable manner at all times and shall provide Parent and Sellers with reasonable advance notice of and the opportunity to comment on its planned approach to the Scheduled Project. Buyer shall also provide Parent and Sellers access to monitor the performance of its work on the Scheduled Project and copies of all substantive correspondence and reports. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Sellers shall have no Liability to Buyer with regard to either (i) any Environmental Condition within the area of the Business commonly known as Hook's Lagoon identified on Exhibit F hereto ("Hook's Lagoon") that was either known to Buyer on the Closing Date or should have been known to Buyer on such date following a reas onable investigation or inquiry regarding Hook's Lagoon (it being understood that such Environmental Conditions do not include any condition that was reasonably discoverable only with physical sampling of soil or groundwater unless actually known to Buyer) or (ii) the condition of any of the Tangible Personal Property or Improvements located within Hook's Lagoon.

(g) If any Party is obligated to pay the cost of remediating or addressing any fact or condition affecting the Business or its operations to satisfy its indemnification obligations under this Agreement:

(i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall consult with one another as to the design and conduct of any work associated with such remediation; and

(ii) if the parties are unable to agree as to the design and conduct of any such work within 30 days of the initial consultation referred to in clause (i) above, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any costs in excess of those required by the design and conduct of such work if undertaken in the most practicable, cost effective and commercially reasonable manner consistent with the use and operation of the assets as an amusement park, and in a commercially reasonable manner that causes the least practicable disruption of the ordinary course of business.

Section 9.6 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Each of Parent, Sellers and Buyer agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes.

Section 9.7 Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies or otherwise with respect to such Losses.

(b) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party resulting from the receipt of indemnity payments hereunder and reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party resulting from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss or that would be realized if the proceeds of such indemnity payment were used to ameliorate the circumstance that gave rise to the Indemnification Claim (in each case, grossed-up and -down as appropriate in respect of changes in the actual amount of the indemnity payment resulting from adjustments pursuant to this Section 9.7). To the extent payment of such Claim does not give rise to a Tax cost currently payable by the Indemnified Party, if payment of the Claim gives rise to a Tax cost subsequently payable by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party the amount of such T ax cost when, as, and if payable by the Indemnified Party (grossed-up and -down as appropriate in respect of changes in the actual amount of the indemnity payment resulting from adjustments pursuant to this Section 9.7). To the extent such Claim does not give rise to a currently realizable Tax benefit, if the amount with respect to which any Claim is made gives rise to a subsequently realized Tax benefit to the Indemnified Party that made the Claim, such Indemnified Party shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit when, as and if realized (grossed-up and -down as appropriate in respect of changes in the actual amount of the indemnity payment resulting from adjustments pursuant to this Section 9.7). An Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable efforts to maximize and accelerate Tax benefits and to minimize and defer Tax costs whenever legally permissible. For purposes of this Section 9.7, "Tax cost" means the amount by which the Tax liability of the party (or grou p of entities including the party) is increased (including by increase in gross income, reduction in deductions by virtue of decreased tax basis or otherwise, reduction of refund or credit to which the party would otherwise be entitled, or otherwise) plus any related interest, penalty, or addition to tax payable to the relevant taxing authority as a result of such Tax cost; and "Tax benefit" means the amount by which the Tax liability of the party (or group of entities including the party) is or could be reduced (including by reduction of gross income, availability of deductions, reduction of income by virtue of increased tax basis or otherwise, entitlement to refund, credit or otherwise) plus any related interest received or reduction of interest payable directly related to such Tax benefit. For purposes of this Section 9.7, "Tax benefits" and "Tax costs" shall be computed as if Buyer were a corporation subject to tax under Section 11 of the Code." In computing the amoun t of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss. For purposes of this Section 9.7, a Tax cost is "currently payable" to the extent that such Tax cost relates to the current taxable period or year or any Tax Return with respect thereto or to any taxable period or year prior to the date of the Claim; and a Tax benefit is "currently realizable" to the extent that such Tax benefit could be realized in the current taxable period or year or in any Tax Return with respect thereto (including through a carryback to a prior taxable period) or in any taxable period or year prior to the date of the Claim. The amount of any increase, reduction or payment hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any final determination with respect to the Indemnified Party's l iability for Taxes, and payments between the parties to this Agreement to reflect such adjustment shall be made if necessary. For purposes of determining the amount of any Tax cost or Tax benefit hereunder, the receipt of an indemnity payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the basis of the asset or assets upon which the underlying Claim that gave rise to the indemnity payment was based and payment of an indemnified claim, if required to be capitalized, shall be treated as an adjustment to the basis of the same asset or assets. If the Internal Revenue Service asserts that such basis adjustments were not properly made, the Indemnified Party shall make such additional adjustments as are necessary to minimize and defer Tax costs and maximize and accelerate Tax benefits, unless precluded from doing so by a final determination with respect to the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates or unless it is advised, by written opinion of a tax adviser reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, which opi nion shall be made available to the Indemnifying Party, that any further adjustment is inappropriate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the application of this Section 9.7(b) to an indemnity payment owed by Sellers hereunder would increase the amount owed by Sellers, Sellers shall be liable to Buyer for such increased amount only if Buyer could not avoid such increased Tax cost by foregoing its payment of the indemnified Claim and instead providing Sellers the opportunity to pay such Claim directly. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood between the parties that, regardless of against whom a liability is asserted, if it is feasible for the liability to be paid by Sellers, the decision as to whether the liability will be paid directly by Sellers to the claimant or paid by Sellers to Buyer as an indemnity and then paid by Buyer to the claimant shall be made by Sellers, provided that a Seller informs Buyer of this decision in writing before the liability is paid.

Section 9.8 Exclusive Remedy. The sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or inaccuracy or alleged breach or inaccuracy, of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Article IX.

ARTICLE X
Employee Matters

Section 10.1 Employees.

(a) The current employees of the Business who are employed on a seasonal basis are referred to herein as "Seasonal Employees" and all other current employees are referred to herein as "Regular Employees." Buyer shall honor the first two thousand (2000) offers of employment made to Seasonal Employees in the ordinary course of preparation for the 2004 season; provided that Buyer shall not be required to honor any offers made to Seasonal Employees to care for the Animal Assets or work in the side of the park that contained the Animal Assets. At least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver, in writing, an offer of employment to each of the Regular Employees (excluding employees set forth in Schedule 10.1(a)) who Buyer in its discretion wishes to employ after the Closing Date. For one (1) year after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not make an offer of employment or solicit for employment any employee set forth on Schedule 10 .1(a) while they are employed by Sellers. Such Regular Employees who accept such offer by the Closing Date or expiration of approved leave will be provided employment by the Buyer commencing immediately following the Closing Date or expiration of approved leave (at such time, such employees are referred to as "Transferred Employees"). Regular Employees who are not granted such offer from the Buyer shall be considered terminated employees and the Buyer shall not employ or otherwise retain the services of such employees for a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Sellers.

(c) For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, Sellers shall not solicit for employment any of the Transferred Employees, other than any Transferred Employee who (i) is subsequently terminated by Buyer, or (ii) voluntarily leaves the employ of Buyer and with respect to whom Buyer gives prior written consent.

(d) Sellers will provide Buyer with sufficient information to, and Buyer shall, carryover the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxable wage base of all Transferred Employees.

Section 10.2 Paid Time Off. Except for any items shown on Schedule 1.4, Sellers shall be responsible for all Liabilities with respect to all accrued but unused vacation, sick days and personal days due to all Transferred Employees under the Employee Benefit Plans for all periods up to and including the Closing Date.

Section 10.3 Interviews. Sellers and Buyer shall make mutually acceptable arrangements for Buyer to interview the employees whose primary duties are at the Business and to review employee files with the prior written consent of any subject employee.

Section 10.4 Health Insurance. All Transferred Employees who are covered under any group health plan maintained by Sellers on the Closing Date shall be covered under a group health plan maintained by Buyer as of 12:00 a.m. on the day following the Closing Date. Dependents of such Transferred Employees shall also be so covered to the extent dependent coverage is provided under an Employee Benefit Plan on the Closing Date. Buyer's group health plan or plans shall be responsible for any expenses covered thereunder with respect to medical care or services rendered or medical expenditures incurred after the Closing Date without any preexisting condition limitations or exclusions.

Section 10.5 COBRA. Sellers shall be responsible for satisfying obligations under Section 601 et seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code to provide continuation coverage (commonly referred to as "COBRA Coverage") to or with respect to any Seasonal Employee or Regular Employee and/or dependent thereof on account of any "qualifying event" that occurs on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for satisfying such COBRA coverage obligations to or with respect to any Transferred Employee (and/or a dependent thereof) on account of any "qualifying event" which occurs after the Closing Date.

Section 10.6 Severance. Sellers shall be responsible for any and all severance obligations or Liabilities in connection with the termination of employment of any Seasonal Employee or Regular Employee except as hereinafter provided. Buyer shall be responsible for any and all severance obligations or Liabilities in connection with the termination of employment of any Seasonal Employee or Transferred Employee after the Closing Date.

Section 10.7 WARN Act. Sellers shall be responsible for, assume all liability for and indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from any and all obligations or liabilities, arising as a result of this Transaction, pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar state and local statutes ("WARN") and all WARN obligations, including all notices.

Section 10.8 Past Service Credit. Buyer shall credit each Transferred Employee with his or her years of service with the Sellers or any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled immediately prior to the Closing to credit for such service under any Employee Benefit Plan for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under Buyer's similar employee benefit plans.

ARTICLE XI

Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or if the date of such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary), (ii) the 30^th day after Prudential shall have given to the Co-Issuers, or the Co-Issuers shall have given to Prudential, a written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such 30^th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such 30^th day), (iii) the last Closing Day after which there is no Available Facility Amount, (iv) the termination of the Facility under paragraph 7A of this Agreement, and (v) the acceleration of any Note under paragraph 7A of this Agreement. The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the "Issuance Per iod".

2B(3). Request for Purchase. The Co-Issuers (or, if Prudential so agrees, the Company) may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a "Request for Purchase"). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to Prudential by telecopier or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $10,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than 12 years from the date of issuance), average life (which shall be no more than 10 years from the date of issuance), principal prepayment dates (if any) and amounts and interest payment periods (quarterly or semi-annually in arrears) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes , (iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 5 Business Days and not more than 25 Business Days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (vii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by Prudential.

2B(4). Rate Quotes. Not later than five Business Days after the Co-Issuers (or, if Prudential so agrees, the Company) shall have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to paragraph 2B(3), Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Issuer by telephone or telecopier, in each case between 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. New York City local time (or such later time as Prudential may elect) interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase. Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which a Prudential Affiliate or Affiliates would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

2B(5). Acceptance. Within the Acceptance Window with respect to any interest rate quotes provided pursuant to paragraph 2B(4), the Issuer may, subject to paragraph 2B(6), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer notifying Prudential by telephone or telecopier within the Acceptance Window that the Issuer elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being herein called an "Accepted Note") as to which such acceptance (herein called an "Acceptance") relates. The day the Issuer notifies Prudential of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the "Acceptance Day" for such Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraph 2B(6) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Issuer agrees to sell to a Prudential Affiliate or Affiliates, and Prudential agrees to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate or Affiliates of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Issuer and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (herein called a "Confirmation of Acceptance"). If the Issuer should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days following the Issuer's receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential or any Prudential Affiliate may at its election at any time prior to Prudent ial's receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Issuer in writing.

2B(6). Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2B(5), if Prudential shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4) and thereafter prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been notified to Prudential in accordance with paragraph 2B(5) the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or other financial instruments shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or other financial instruments, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Issuer thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudenti al shall promptly notify the Issuer that the provisions of this paragraph 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.

2B(7). Facility Closings. Not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Issuer will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Prudential Capital Group, 180 North Stetson Street, Suite 5600, Chicago, Illinois 60601, Attention: Law Department, the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser's name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Issuer's account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If the Issuer fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted No tes as provided above in this paragraph 2B(7), or any of the conditions specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Issuer shall, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the "Rescheduled Closing Day")) and certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Issuer reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Issuer will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with paragraph 2B(8)(iii) or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Issuer shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Issuer in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Issuer may not elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing.

2B(8). Fees.

2B(8)(i). [Intentionally Omitted].

2B(8)(ii). [Intentionally Omitted].

2B(8)(iii). Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note (other than the failure of a Purchaser to fund the purchase of an Accepted Note after all conditions to closing specified in paragraph 3 have been timely satisfied), the Issuer will pay to the Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note (a) on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale and (b) if earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note and on each Business Day following 90 days after the prior payment hereunder, a fee (herein called the "Delayed Delivery Fee") calculated as follows:

(BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA

where "BEY" means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note; "MMY" means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential and having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days for such Accepted Note (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing is delayed); "DTS" means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent Delayed Delivery Fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and "PA" means Principal Amount, i.e., th e principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2B(7).

2B(8)(iv). Cancellation Fee. If the Issuer at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Issuer is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the Issuer in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2B(7) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (other than the failure of a Purchaser to fund the purchase of an Accepted Note after all conditions to closing specified in paragraph 3 have been timely satisfied) (the date of any such notification or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the "Cancellation Date"), the Issuer will pay to the Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note in immediately av ailable funds an amount (the "Cancellation Fee") calculated as follows:

PI X PA

where "PI" means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and "PA" has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by TradeWeb LLC (or, if such data for any reason ceases to be available through TradeWeb LLC, any publicly available source of similar market data). Each price shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

3. No Further Commitment Increases. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that after giving effect to the Commitment Increases contemplated pursuant to this Amendment, Borrowers shall not hereafter be permitted to increase the Maximum Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.8(c) of the Credit Agreement, even if Borrowers subsequently voluntarily reduce the Maximum Commitment Amount to the Closing Commitment Amount in accordance with Section 2.8(b) of the Credit Agreement.
