EXHIBIT A

Annual Bonus Parameters

Definitions:

“Performance Parameters” shall mean the following, as determined annually by the Board:

(a) Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA:  Total budgeted Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Company’s earnings releases).

(b) Budgeted Free Cash Flow:  Total Budgeted Free Cash Flow (as defined in the Company’s earnings releases).

(c) Budgeted Attendance:  Total budgeted attendance.

(d) Budgeted In-Park Net Revenue Per Capita:  Total budgeted in-park net revenue per capita.

(e) Budgeted Sponsorship/Licensing Revenue:  Total budgeted sponsorship/licensing revenue.

Rules for Calculation of Annual Bonus:

Any annual bonus payable under Section 3(b) of this Agreement, shall be determined annually by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in accordance with the rules below.  All determinations by the Committee shall be final and binding on Executive.  All Adjusted EBITDA and other bonus targets shall be determined by reference to the Company’s Budget for each year as approved by the Board.  The Committee shall work with the Chief Executive Officer to determine appropriate bonus targets for any items that are not specifically contained in the Company’s Budget each year.

1. Subject to the other rules, the Performance Parameters shall be weighted as follows in determining the amount of the annual bonus:  Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA:  50% and 12.5% for each of the remaining Performance Parameters.

2. No annual bonus whatsoever shall be payable in respect of a given fiscal year if actual Adjusted EBITDA for such year is less than 90% of Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA.

3. If actual results for a given Performance Parameter are less than 90% of the Performance Parameter, no amount shall be payable in respect of such Performance Parameter.

4. If actual Adjusted EBITDA for a given fiscal year equals or exceeds 90% of Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA, and the results for any given Performance Parameter (including Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA) equals or exceeds 90% of the Performance Parameter, then the amount payable in respect of such parameter shall be determined by multiplying the product of the Target Bonus and the weight ascribed to the Performance Parameter in Rule 1 above by the appropriate multiplier below:

5. If Executive’s employment with the Company ceases upon expiration of the Term, Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment, within ten (10) business days, equal to the Target Bonus for Executive for the year of termination pro-rated based on the number of days from the beginning of the year through the Date of Termination divided by the total number of days in the year of termination.
