(iii)Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws; provided that any non-cash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).  So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities permitted by the Credit Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.6(a)(iii).

After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.6 and that remain in such account.

(c)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have provided the Borrower with notice of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.6, then, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.6, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.6, shall cease, and all

CG&R DraftCurrent date:  08/09/2021 1:04 PM62203517v4

 



 

Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed by any Grantor after the date hereof and (ii) the UCC financing and continuation statements contemplated in Section 3.2(b)).

(f)Intellectual Property Covenants.

(i)Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement or with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other governmental authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property of such Grantor that are not Excluded Assets.

(v)Within 30 days after each March 31 and September 30, the Borrower shall provide a list of any additional registrations of Intellectual Property of all Grantors with the USPTO and USCO not previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent including such information as is necessary for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

Section 4.1.Remedies Upon Default

.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including the all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any 

 

CG&R DraftCurrent date:  08/09/2021 1:04 PM62203517v4

 



 

such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any applicable law now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at applicable law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 4.2.Application of Proceeds

.  The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 

CG&R DraftCurrent date:  08/09/2021 1:04 PM62203517v4

 



 

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied.  All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

Section 4.3.Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property

.  For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a nonexclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or, solely to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and remedies, sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same are located, and including in such license necessary access to media in which such licensed items are recorded or stored and to computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Collateral Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 4.3 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, with respect to such property or otherwise prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks material to the business of such Grantor shall be subject to restrictions, including, without limitation restrictions as to goods or services associated with such Trademarks and the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used, sufficient to preserve the validity and value of such Trademarks.  For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, the Collateral Agent may also exercise the rights afforded under Section 4.1 of this Agreement with respect to Intellectual Property contained in the Article 9 Collateral.

Section 6.2.Waivers; Amendment

.  

(a)No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan, the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the provision of services under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

Schedule III to
 the Amended and Restated Security Agreement

COMMERCIAL TORT CLAIMS

 


	
 
	
1.
	
On January 19, 2021, SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. filed a motion for recovery of certain costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in the defense of the Anderson Case (defined below). The amount in question is approximately $13,000,000.  On July 9, 2021, the court issued an order denying the motion. SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. is in the process of appealing the court’s ruling.




On April 13, 2015, a purported class action was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the City and County of San Francisco against SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Inc., captioned Marc Anderson, et. al., v. SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Inc. Civil Case No. 15-cv-02172-JSW, (the “Anderson Case”). The case was dismissed and refiled in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.  The court bifurcated the trial of the case into two phases: the plaintiffs’ standing to sue and the merits of their claims.  Before the first phase of the trial, plaintiff Anderson dismissed all claims against the Company.  The standing trial with regard to the remaining plaintiffs took place in March of 2020.   On October 13, 2020, the Court ruled that the remaining plaintiffs have no standing to sue and judgment was entered in favor of the Company. Plaintiffs have elected not to appeal this decision and the time to do so has passed.

Exhibit I to the 
Amended and Restated Security Agreement

SUPPLEMENT NO.         dated as of [•], to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated as of August 25, 2021, among the Grantors identified therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent.


	
A.
	
Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 25, 2021 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc., the direct parent of the Borrower, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender.





	
B.
	
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement.

The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit.

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:


	
SECTION 1.
	
In accordance with Section 6.13 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Grantor.  Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor.  The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.





	
SECTION 2.
	
The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity.





	
SECTION 3.
	
This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together 




CG&R DraftCurrent date:  08/09/2021 1:04 PM62203517v4



 


		
shall constitute a single contract.  This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.





	
SECTION 4.
	
The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the information required by Schedules II and III to the Security Agreement applicable to it and its and its’ subsidiaries legal name, jurisdiction of formation and location of Chief Executive Office and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.





	
SECTION 5.
	
Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.





	
SECTION 6.
	
THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.





	
SECTION 7.
	
If any provision of this Supplement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Supplement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.





	
SECTION 8.
	
All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.1 of the Security Agreement.





	
SECTION 9.
