Item 1.02.                                          Termination of Material Definitive Agreements.

 

On September 28, 2010, the Company terminated, without cause, its employment agreement, dated April 1, 2009 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”), with Louis Koskovolis, Executive Vice President, Corporate Alliances.  Effective as of October 28, 2010, Mr. Koskovolis will no longer be employed by the Company.

 

The Employment Agreement has a term of four years and provides for a base salary of $650,000 and a target bonus in the amount of $500,000.  Mr. Koskovolis’ bonus is determined based upon the level of achievement of the following performance parameters, each as defined in the Employment Agreement: Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA, Budgeted Free Cash Flow, Budgeted Attendance, Budgeted In-Park Net Revenue Per Capita and Budgeted Sponsorship Revenue (Budgeted Sponsorship Revenue weighted 50% and others 12.5%). No bonus is payable if 90% of the Budgeted Adjusted EBITDA target is not obtained except that if 100% of the Budgeted Sponsorship Revenue target is obtained, Mr. Koskovolis would be entitled to receive 50% of the target bonus.

 

Severance is payable under the Employment Agreement upon termination of employment without “cause” or for “good reason” during the contract term.  In addition, Mr. Koskovolis would receive an amount equal to the sum of his base salary for the remaining balance of the contract term and his annual bonus for the prior year.  Under the Employment Agreement, in the event of such a termination, Mr. Koskovolis would receive twelve months of continued health and life insurance coverage.

 

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms thereof, which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on April 13, 2009.
