(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5(b), no Affiliated ZHG Designee shall be entitled to participate in any discussions, consideration or voting by the Board regarding, and shall not be entitled to receive any Board (or committee) materials relating to, any transaction or matter that, in the good faith determination of the Board (other than the Affiliated ZHG Designees), presents an actual or potential conflict of interest for such Affiliated ZHG Designee, including, without limitation, any Acquisition Proposal involving a ZHG Entity.

(d) Each Independent ZHG Designee shall be permitted to participate in all discussions, consideration and voting by the Board regarding, and shall be entitled to receive any Board materials relating to, any Acquisition Proposal, except when such attendance or receipt of materials would present an actual or potential conflict of interest for such Independent ZHG Designee in the good faith determination of the Board (other than the Affiliated ZHG Designees and such Independent ZHG Designee).

(e) If the Board establishes a committee of the Board to consider any Acquisition Proposal, one (1) ZHG Designee, as determined by the ZHG Designator, shall be entitled to be a member of such committee; provided, that such ZHG Designee may be an Affiliated ZHG Designee only if (i) a ZHG Standstill Commitment has been delivered by ZHG to the Company in accordance with Section 2.5(b), and (ii) any Acquisition Proposal previously made by a ZHG Entity has been withdrawn; provided, further, that no ZHG Designee may serve as a member of such committee if, in the good faith determination of the Board (other than the Affiliated ZHG Designee), such service presents an actual or potential conflict of interest for such ZHG Designee.

2.6 Resignations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, at any time, (a) the number of ZHG Designees is greater than the number of Directors that the ZHG Designator has the right to designate pursuant to Section 2.1 or (b) any ZHG Entity breaches any of the Material Terms in any material respect and such breach continues after written notice from the Company and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure, in each case, if requested by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the ZHG Designator shall cause, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that certain number of ZHG Designees to promptly tender his, her or their resignations from the Board and any applicable committee of the Board, such that the number of ZHG Designees serving on the Board corresponds with the number of Directors that the ZHG Designee has the right to designate pursuant to Section 2.1, or in the case where any ZHG Entity breaches any of the Material Terms in any material respect and such breach continues after written notice from the Company and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure, such that there are no ZHG Designees serving on the Board; provided, however, that notwithstanding Section 2.1 and the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6, if the closing of an issuance of Equity Securities of the Company (other than an issuance of New Securities in which ZHG is permitted to purchase New Securities pursuant to Section 4.2) or a Stock Acquisition causes the aggregate Total Share Ownership of the ZHG Entities, as a percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, to decline below a requisite percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding such that the ZHG Designator would be required by this Section 2.6 to cause, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, a ZHG Designee or ZHG Designees, as applicable, to promptly tender his, her, or their resignations from the Board, then (i) the ZHG Designator shall not be required to cause such ZHG Designee or ZHG Designees, as applicable, to promptly tender his, her, or their resignations from the Board, and (ii) the Company and the Board shall not seek or take any action to remove such ZHG Designee or ZHG Designees from the Board, in each case unless in the applicable Buy-Back Period the ZHG Entities have not made purchases of Common Stock in open market transactions, as permitted by Section 4.3(c), such that the aggregate Total Share Ownership of the ZHG Entities, as a percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, exceeds the applicable percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, such that the ZHG Designator would not be required by this Section 2.6 to cause a ZHG Designee or ZHG Designees, as applicable, to promptly tender his, or her, or their resignations from the Board. If the ZHG Designator is required to cause, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, a ZHG Designee to tender his or her resignation from the Board and such ZHG Designee does not promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board, such ZHG Designee shall not thereafter be entitled to participate as a member of any committee of the Board pursuant to this Agreement.

2.7 Other ZHG Investments. For the avoidance of doubt, no investment by any ZHG Entity in any Person, including any Restricted Entity, shall, in and of itself, limit the rights of the ZHG Designator pursuant to this Article II.

THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF March 24, 2017, AMONG SEAWORLD ENTERTAINMENT, INC., SUN WISE (UK) CO., LTD AND, SOLELY FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 4.3 THEREOF, ZHONGHONG ZHUOYE GROUP CO., LTD., AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

4.2 Right of First Refusal.

(a) If the Company, at any time or from time to time following the Closing, proposes to issue (a “New Issuance”) any New Securities, for cash in an offering that is not an underwritten public offering or an offering pursuant to Rule 144A (or a successor rule) under the Securities Act (any such offering, a “Private Placement”), the Company shall provide ZHG with written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of such New Issuance at least thirty (30) days prior to the issuance of such New Securities. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the New Issuance, including (i) the proposed number of New Securities if known or, if not known, an estimate thereof, (ii) a description of the New Securities and proposed manner of sale, (iii) the purchase price per New Security (or conversion price or premium in the event of an offering of convertible debt) (the “Per Security Offering Price”) if known or, if not known, an estimate thereof, and (iv) the proposed issuance date if known or, if not known, an estimate thereof. ZHG shall be entitled to purchase (either directly or through any other ZHG Parties or any of ZHG’s Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees), at the Per Security Offering Price and on the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice, up to the number of such New Securities that would result in the aggregate Total Share Ownership of the ZHG Entities, as a percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following such New Issuance being equal to the aggregate Total Share Ownership of the ZHG Entities, as a percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such New Issuance, provided that for this purpose such percentage shall not exceed the Maximum Ownership Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of New Securities that ZHG (directly or through any other ZHG Parties or their Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees) shall be entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 4.2 with respect to any New Issuance shall be limited to the maximum amount that may be issued by the Company to ZHG (directly or through any other ZHG Parties or their Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees) without requiring approval of such issuance by the stockholders of the Company under the rules of the Exchange, as determined in good faith by the Company (which such determination shall be binding on the parties).

(b) ZHG may exercise its rights under this Section 4.2 by delivering written notice of its election to purchase (either directly or through any other ZHG Parties or any of ZHG’s Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees) such New Securities to the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of the Issuance Notice, which notice shall specify the number of New Securities requested to be purchased by ZHG. Delivery of such notice shall constitute a binding commitment of ZHG to purchase (either directly or through any other ZHG Parties or any of ZHG’s Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees) the amount of New Securities so specified at the Per Security Offering Price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice. If, at the termination of such ten (10) day period, ZHG has not exercised its right to purchase any such New Securities, ZHG shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 4.2 with respect to, and only with respect to, the purchase of the New Securities specified in the applicable Issuance Notice.

(c) The closing of any sale of New Securities to ZHG, any other ZHG Parties or any of ZHG’s Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall take place concurrently with the consummation of the sale of the New Securities on the terms set forth in the Issuance Notice to all other Persons purchasing such New Securities (the “New Issuance Closing”).

(d) If the Company issues, at the New Issuance Closing, less than all of the New Securities described in the Issuance Notice, then the number of New Securities that ZHG (and any other ZHG Parties and any of ZHG’s Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees) shall be entitled to purchase in connection with such New Issuance pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be reduced proportionately and ZHG’s notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(b) shall be deemed amended to reflect such reduction. If the number of New Securities is reduced as contemplated by this Section 4.2(d), the Company shall not issue or sell the remainder of the New Securities described in the Issuance Notice without again complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2.

(e) If the New Issuance Closing (other than any over-allotment closing) does not occur within ninety (90) days after the date of the Issuance Notice, the Company shall not issue or sell the New Securities described in the Issuance Notice without again complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2.

(f) ZHG (or any other ZHG Parties or any of ZHG’s Controlled Affiliates that are ZHG Permitted Transferees) shall, prior to the closing of any Private Placement in which any of them has elected to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2, execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as are customarily required in connection with such an offering or are reasonably requested by the Company, including, without limitation, customary investment representations and representations as to its status as the type of offeree to whom a private sale may be made pursuant to the Securities Act, and any failure to deliver or enter into any such documents and instruments at or prior to such closing shall constitute a waiver of the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 4.2 with respect to such New Issuance.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, this Section 4.2 shall not apply and the ZHG Entities shall have no rights under this Section 4.2 if, at any time, any ZHG Entity breaches any of the Material Terms in any material respect and such breach continues after written notice from the Company and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure.

4.3 Standstill.

(a) Subject to Section 4.3(b) and Section 4.3(c), on and after the Closing, ZHG Group and the ZHG Parties shall not, shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, and shall cause the representatives of ZHG Group, the ZHG Parties and their respective Affiliates acting at their direction not to, in any manner, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of, or waiver by, the Company:

result of any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification or similar capital transaction involving Equity Securities of the Company; (B) pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(ii), Section 4.1(b)(iii), Section 4.2 or Section 4.3(c) or (C) a Transfer between ZHG Parties; provided, that no ZHG Party shall be in breach of this Section 4.3(a)(i) as a result of the acquisition by any ZHG Designee of any Equity Securities of the Company pursuant to (x) the grant or vesting of any equity compensation awards granted by the Company to any ZHG Designee, or (y) the exercise of any stock options, restricted stock units, or similar awards relating to any Equity Securities of the Company granted by the Company to any ZHG Designee;

(ii) make any public announcement or public offer with respect to any merger, business combination, recapitalization, reorganization, restructuring, liquidation, change of control or other similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (unless such transaction is approved or affirmatively recommended by the Board);

(iii) make, knowingly encourage or in any way participate in, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC promulgated pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act) to vote any Voting Securities, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any Voting Securities (other than, in each case, in a manner that is consistent with the Board’s recommendation in connection with a matter);

(iv) seek election to, or seek to place a representative on, the Board or removal of any member of the Board or otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek representation or to control or influence the management, the Board or policies of the Company (other than (A) with respect to the election or removal of a ZHG Designee or (B) to vote in accordance with the requirements of Article III);

(v) call, or seek to call, a meeting of the stockholders of the Company or initiate any stockholder proposal for action by stockholders of the Company;

(viii) advise or knowingly assist or encourage or enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements or arrangements with any other Persons in connection with any of the foregoing activities;

(ix) publicly disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with any of the foregoing activities;

(x) arrange, or in any way provide, directly or indirectly, any financing for the purchase by any Person or Group of any Equity Securities or assets of the Company, other than financing for (A) the purchase of assets then being offered for sale by the Company and approved by the disinterested Directors, (B) the Transfer of any shares of Common Stock to a ZHG Party or a ZHG Permitted Transferee, (C) purchases of any Equity Securities of the Company by a ZHG Entity that are permitted by this Agreement and (D) a ZHG Acquisition.

(xi) take any action that ZHG Group or a ZHG Party knows, or would reasonably be expected to know, after consultation with outside legal counsel, would require the Company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of an Acquisition; or

(xii) contest the validity of this Section 4.3(a) or initiate or participate in any judicial proceeding to amend, waive, terminate or seek a release of the restrictions contained herein, it being understood and agreed that (A) without prejudice to Section 2.5, this Section 4.3 shall not limit (x) the activities of any ZHG Designee taken in good faith in his or her capacity as a Director or (y) the participation of any ZHG Designee in any Board (or committee of the Board, as applicable) discussions, deliberations, negotiations or determinations, and (B) ZHG and ZHG Group shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 4.3 caused by any action taken by any ZHG Entity or by a representative of a ZHG Entity acting at the direction of any ZHG Entity.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.3(a), on and after the date hereof, other than during any Standstill Commitment Period, no ZHG Party shall be prohibited or restricted from: (i) initiating and engaging in private discussions with, and/or making and submitting to, the Company and/or the Board a non-public, confidential Acquisition Proposal so long as such ZHG Party does not know, and would not be reasonably expected to know, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such actions would be reasonably likely to require ZHG, the Company or any other Person to make a public announcement regarding such Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) from and after a public announcement of a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition entered into between the Company and any Person other than a ZHG Entity and until the earlier of (A) the closing of such Acquisition and (B) thirty (30) days after the termination of such definitive agreement, notwithstanding any ZHG Standstill Commitment, making and submitting to the Company, the Board, and/or the Company’s stockholders, an alternative Acquisition Proposal on a publicly disclosed and announced basis for all outstanding shares of Common Stock, which, if a tender or exchange offer, shall be on the same terms for all such shares and include a non-waivable condition that a majority of outstanding shares of Common Stock not Beneficially Owned by any ZHG Entity are tendered into such offer. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.2, Section 4.3(a) and Section 4.6 shall continue to apply except to the extent such provisions would prevent a ZHG Party from taking the actions expressly permitted by Section 4.3(b)(i) or Section 4.3(b)(ii).

Common Stock then Beneficially Owned by all ZHG Entities, would not then exceed a percentage of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time equal to the lower of (i) twenty four and nine-tenths percent (24.9%) and (ii) the Adjusted Ownership Percentage (such lower percentage, the “Maximum Ownership Percentage”).

For purposes of this Section 4.3(c), the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time shall be the number specified in the latest of (i) the most recent SEC filing of the Company disclosing the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or (ii) a written notice from the Company, which will be provided to ZHG as soon as reasonably practicable upon a written request therefor from ZHG following any New Issuance or Stock Acquisition.

4.4 Information and Access Rights. The books and records of the Company shall be available for inspection by the ZHG Parties at the principal place of business of the Company.

ZHG hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, ZHG and its Affiliates shall be provided confidential information in accordance with and subject to the terms of a Confidentiality Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, which such Confidentiality Agreement shall be executed and delivered concurrently with the Closing (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Such tender by the ZHG Parties shall be made within twelve (12) hours of notification from any depositary for such tender or exchange offer of the percentage of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by holders other than ZHG Entities then received by such depositary. The ZHG Parties shall be free, in their sole discretion, to tender or not tender into such offer, any and all shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by ZHG Entities up to and including the Voting Percentage Limit.

4.7 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by ZHG and the Company. Thereafter, ZHG and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereby and, except in respect of any such press release or other public announcement as may be required by applicable Law or any applicable rule of any securities exchange or association, shall not issue any such press release or other public announcement prior to such consultation.
