THIS DEFERRED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, a corporation organized in the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee and the Board;
WHEREAS, the Participant elected to receive Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) in lieu of a portion of the cash retainer for the Participant’s service as a Director of the Company in accordance with the Participant’s Director Deferral Election form (“Deferral Election”); and
WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant DSUs provided herein to the Participant in accordance with the Participant’s Deferral Election.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1.Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
2.    Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant in accordance with the Deferral Election, as of the Grant Date specified above, the number of DSUs specified above. Each DSU corresponds to one share of Company Stock. Except




as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of the shares of Company Stock underlying the DSUs, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees that the Company by grant of the DSUs subject to this Agreement and by fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement will have fully discharged any and all obligations or commitments to grant equity awards to the Participant pursuant to the Deferral Election with respect to the current year.
3.    Vesting.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) hereof, the DSUs subject to this Award shall become vested as follows, provided that the Participant has not ceased to be a Director of the Company prior to each such vesting date:
Vesting Date
 
Number of DSUs
Grant Date
 
50%
July 2 following the Grant Date
 
25%
October 1 following the Grant Date
 
25%

There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate vesting date, subject to the Participant’s continued service as a Director with the Company on each applicable vesting date.
(b)    Board Discretion to Accelerate Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting of the DSUs at any time and for any reason.
(c)    Forfeiture. Subject to Section 3(b) and the Board's discretion to accelerate vesting hereunder, all unvested DSUs shall be immediately forfeited upon the Participant’s cessation of service as a Director of the Company for any reason.
4.    Delivery of Shares.
(a)    General.

otherwise be made pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, such distribution shall be instead made on the earlier of (i) the date that the Participant is not subject to any such policy or restriction and (ii) the later of (A) the end of the calendar year in which such distribution would otherwise have been made and (B) a date that is immediately prior to the expiration of two and one-half months following the date such distribution would otherwise have been made hereunder.
5.    Dividends; Rights as Stockholder. As of each dividend payment date with respect to shares of Company Stock, a dollar amount equal to the amount of the dividend that would have been paid on the number of shares of Company Stock equal to the number of DSUs to which the Participant is entitled (without regard to vesting conditions) under this Agreement as of the close of business on the record date for such dividend shall be accumulated on a book entry account basis uninvested and without interest until the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Company after such dividend payment date ("Next Annual Meeting Date") and then converted into a number of DSUs equal to the number of whole shares (rounded up or down in accordance with a reasonable rounding procedure) of Company Stock that could have been purchased at the closing price on the Next Annual Meeting Date with such dollar amount. In the case of any dividend declared on shares of Company Stock which is payable in shares of Company Stock, Participant shall be credited with an additional number of DSUs equal to the product of (x) the number of the DSUs which the Participant is entitled (without regard to vesting conditions) under this Agreement on the related dividend record date and the (y) the number of shares of Company Stock (rounded up or down in accordance with a reasonable rounding procedure) distributable as a dividend on a share of Company Stock.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Company Stock covered by any DSU unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.
6.    Non-Transferability. No portion of the DSUs may be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or pledged by the Participant, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the DSUs as provided herein, unless and until payment is made in respect of vested DSUs in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Participant has become the holder of record of the vested shares of Company Stock issuable hereunder.
7.    Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the choice of law principles thereof.
8.    Withholding of Tax. As a condition to receiving the shares of Company Stock hereunder, the Participant must remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the DSUs and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Company Stock otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.
