On April 27, 2020, Cedar Fair, L.P ("Cedar Fair"), Magnum Management Corporation ("Magnum"), Canada's Wonderland Company ("Cedar Canada") and Millennium Operations LLC ("Millennium" and, together with Cedar Fair, Magnum and Cedar Canada, the "Issuers") entered into an Indenture among the Issuers, the guarantors named therein, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (in such capacity, the "Trustee") and notes US collateral agent (in such capacity, the "Notes U.S. Collateral Agent") and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as notes Canadian collateral agent (the "Notes Canadian Collateral Agent") (the "Indenture"), under which the Issuers co-issued (the "Offering") $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the "Notes"), which are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of Cedar Fair's direct and indirect wholly owned restricted subsidiaries (other than Cedar Canada, Magnum and Millennium) that guarantees (collectively, the "Guarantors") the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2017, by and among Cedar Fair, Magnum, Millennium and Cedar Canada, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto from time to time, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other parties thereto (as amended, restated, modified and supplemented from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") or certain other of its indebtedness.

The Notes and the guarantees will be secured, subject to permitted liens, by first-priority liens on the Issuers' and the Guarantors' assets that secure all of the obligations in respect of the facilities under its Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facilities") (as well as any interest rate protection or other hedging arrangements or any cash management arrangements with lenders under such Credit Facilities or their affiliates), other than excluded assets, and rank equally in priority as to the collateral securing the notes with respect to borrowings and guarantees under the Credit Agreement and any other future pari passu first lien indebtedness.

The Notes are the Issuers' and the Guarantors' joint and several senior secured obligations and: (i) rank equally in right of payment with any existing and future senior indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantors; (ii) are equal to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantors that is secured on a first priority basis by the collateral securing the notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral; (iii) rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantors; (iv) are effectively subordinated to existing and future indebtedness secured by assets that are not collateral for the Notes, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; (v) are structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of any non-guarantor subsidiaries; (vi) are effectively senior to all of Issuers' and the Guarantors' existing and future indebtedness that is secured on a junior-priority basis, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the notes; and (vii) are effectively senior to all of the Issuers' and the Guarantors' existing and future indebtedness that is not secured by the collateral securing the notes, to the extent of the value of the collateral.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time: (i) on or after May 1, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 102.750% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date; (ii) on or after May 1, 2023 at a redemption price equal to 101.375% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date; and (iii) on or after May 1, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable

redemption date. In addition, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at any time prior to May 1, 2022 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a price equal to 105.500% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The Issuers may also redeem some or all of the Notes before May 1, 2022 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus a "make whole" amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the Issuers must offer to purchase the Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The Notes were sold in a private placement in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes bear interest at 5.500% per annum and mature on May 1, 2025. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2020, to holders of record at the close of business on April 15 and October 15, as the case may be, immediately preceding each such interest payment date.
