SECTION 1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy is to set forth the commitment of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (“Six Flags” or the “Company”) to uphold the highest standards of business integrity and to comply with all applicable domestic and international anti- and corruption rules, regulations and laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). This policy provides employees and agents of the Company with information and guidance on how to identify, respond to, and avoid situations that could potentially violate applicable anti-corruption laws, both domestic and international.

2.2 Foreign Government Official – A political party candidate or any person acting on behalf of an international (non-U.S.) government or agency, department, instrumentality or other entity of such government (e.g., national, state or local governmental bodies). Also included are any employees of businesses or entities owned (in whole or in part), controlled or operated by a government agency. This term shall also mean any person who is employed by a Public International Organization, including but is not limited to, organizations such as the United Nations and World Bank.

2.3 Gift – Any item that is provided to a non-Six Flags individual or entity that is completely gratuitous and where the giving party receives nothing of value in return.

2.5 Third Party Intermediary – Any Business Partner engaged to act on Six Flags’ behalf with Foreign Government Officials or international government entities.

SECTION 3 APPLICABLE LAWS

3.1 U.S. Law

3.1.1 Anti-Bribery Law: The FCPA’s anti-bribery provisions make it unlawful for businesses and individuals to make corrupt payments to Foreign Government Officials in exchange for their assistance in obtaining or retaining a business advantage. This means that:

 nothing of value can be offered, promised, or given  either directly or indirectly  to induce or influence a Foreign Government Official  in an effort to obtain or retain a business advantage.

A “business advantage” is interpreted broadly by FCPA enforcement authorities to mean not only direct advantages (such as sales contracts) but also indirect advantages (such as favorable tax treatment or favors or other preferential treatment).

Items “of value” include not only the payment of cash or cash-equivalents, but other items of value such as gifts, lavish entertainment, charitable donations or political contributions. Even non-tangible items, such as an offer or promise of employment, can be considered “something of value” intended to improperly influence a Foreign Government Official.

3.1.2 Accounting Provisions: The FCPA has two parts. In addition to the anti- bribery provisions, it also requires U.S. and foreign public companies that are listed on stock exchanges in the U.S. maintain accurate books and records and a system of reasonable internal accounting controls. The accounting provisions also prohibits individuals and businesses from knowingly falsifying books and records or knowingly circumventing (or failing to implement) a system of internal controls.

3.1.3 Indirect Payments: U.S. companies may also be liable for knowing of a corrupt payment made on its behalf by its Business Partners to a Foreign Government Official. “Knowing” includes a conscious disregard—that is, ignoring the circumstances surrounding a transaction that would make a reasonable person suspicious that a violation may occur.

Red Flags: The following “red flags” may raise FCPA concerns and should be investigated before entering into any agreement or before providing any payment or thing of value. These include, but are not limited to:

 Dealing with a Business Partner that objects to providing FCPA representations and warranties.

-2-

 Dealing with a Business Partner that is known to be related to, or otherwise associated with, a current or former Foreign Government Official or that has been recommended by a Foreign Government Official.

 Dealings with a Foreign Government Official or entity that has a reputation for corruption.

 Requests for large or unusual payments or commissions.

 Requests for payments made through non-obvious third parties or to an account located in another country where the payee does no business.

 Unsupported travel or entertainment expenses.

Employees should consult with the Company’s General Counsel should they encounter any other circumstance raising a suspicion that a bribe may be involved.

3.1.4 Penalties: FCPA anti-bribery violations carry criminal penalties. Corporations can face fines up to $2 million and individuals can face fines up to $100,000 plus imprisonment of up to five years. The U.S. Government may also require disgorgement of up to twice the profits gained through the unlawful act.

Violations of the FCPA’s accounting provisions can also carry criminal penalties: individuals may face fines up to $5 million and imprisonment for up to 20 years, while corporations may be subject to fines up to $25 million.

Additional indirect costs of an FCPA violation can be significant: millions of dollars investigating the violation and taking measures to avoid future violations. FCPA violations also significantly damage reputations and disrupt normal business operations

3.2 Other Anti-Corruption Laws

Other nations have enacted anti-corruption laws (including China, India, and Brazil), and the U.S. and other countries are signatories to several anti-corruption conventions and treaties, including the United Nations Convention against Corruption, and the OECD Convention against Bribery. Several countries’ anti- corruption laws go beyond bribery of public officials to include commercial bribery involving non-government parties. For example, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) prohibits most conduct that violates the FCPA, but also prohibits commercial bribery not involving state-controlled entities. The U.K. Bribery Act prohibits both public and private sector bribery, and also prohibits the unlawful receipt of a bribe. India’s Prevention of Corruption Act (1988) is primarily aimed

-3-

at prohibiting public servants from accepting a bribe in any form—including gifts or hospitality that are likely to influence official acts. Employees should consult with the General Counsel for guidance on these laws and conventions.

SECTION 4 GUIDELINES

4.1 Certifications. All written agreements with Business Partners that may have a relationship, or interact, with a Foreign Government Official should include certifications (or “representations and warranties”) by such parties that they are in compliance with the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Where such Business Partners do not have a formal written agreement in place with Six Flags, a separate FCPA compliance certification should be signed and renewed on a periodic basis. The required Certification language appears as Attachment 2 to this policy. Higher risk Business Partners may warrant the enhanced compliance Certification language provided at Attachment 3.

4.2 Due Diligence. Certain Business Partners (including, but not limited to, Third Party Intermediaries) must undergo due diligence prior to commencing a business relationship with Six Flags. The required Due Diligence Procedure is provided as Attachment 4 to this policy.

4.3 Periodic Assessment. As part of its Internal Audit procedures, the Company will periodically assess the effectiveness of its FCPA compliance program. This may include review of: invoices, expense reimbursements, and Business Partner payment statements in order to detect any suspicious or problematic payments.

4.4 Expense Report Accuracy. The Company’s accounting systems are designed to ensure the proper recording of expenses incurred for FCPA-sensitive activities, including travel, hospitality and gifts for Foreign Government Officials. It is each employee’s duty to include accurate and detailed descriptions of all expenses in order to accurately document the purpose of each expense that is submitted in an expense report or otherwise reimbursed or paid for by Six Flags. Employees must follow applicable standards, principles, laws and Company practices for accounting and financial reporting.

4.5 Gifts and Hospitality. In general, no gift or entertainment should be given or accepted if it could, or if it creates the appearance that it could, improperly influence the Company’s business relationships, create obligations, violate the law or Six Flags’ policies, or otherwise cause potential embarrassment to the Company.

Six Flags’ Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides that, as a general principle, gifts and hospitality extended by Six Flags must:

 Be consistent with common courtesies usually associated with accepted business practice in a given culture;  Be legal, reasonable and approved by park or corporate management; -4-

 Be in a form that will not be construed as a bribe or pay-off; and  Comply with applicable law and the policy of the recipient’s organization. See the Guidelines appearing as Attachment 1 to this policy that provide additional guidance on permissible forms of business-related gifts, hospitality, and travel.

4.6 Political or Charitable Contributions. Consistent with Six Flags’ Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, any contributions made to political candidates or causes made on behalf of the Company must first be approved by the Chief Executive Officer or the General Counsel, prior to offering, promising or providing it. Additionally, any charitable contribution made on behalf of the Company must first be approved by the Chief Executive Officer or the General Counsel, prior to offering, promising or providing it.

As with all corporate expenditures, any such contributions must be accurately recorded in Six Flags’ books and records. No political or charitable contribution can be made with the implicit or explicit expectation that the recipient provide something to Six Flags in return for the contribution.

4.7 Reporting/Hotline. Six Flags employees should contact the General Counsel for questions regarding the scope or application of the FCPA. To report a violation (or suspected violation) of this policy anonymously through the Ethics and Compliance Hotline, call 855-223-1556 or file a report online at http://sixflags.ethicspoint.com.

ATTACHMENT 1 GUIDELINES FOR GIFTS, HOSPITALITY, AND BUSINESS TRAVEL FOR FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

To help employees comply with the FCPA and other potentially applicable anti-corruption laws, the Company provides the following guidelines on business-related gifts, hospitality, and business travel relating to Foreign Government Officials. Please remember these guidelines only address FCPA compliance—each Six Flags department has its own approval process regarding business entertainment and gratuities that employees must follow, and which may be more restrictive than the guidelines outlined below.

The FCPA and other foreign laws permit the payment of reasonable and bona fide expenditures of Foreign Government Officials, such as meals, travel and lodging expenses, and other business courtesies, provided that they are directly related to legitimate business purposes. As with all business expenditures, these must be clearly and accurately reflected in expense reports, as well as in the Company’s books and records.

Six Flags Legal must pre-approve all gifts, hospitality, business travel, or anything of value to Foreign Government Officials.

I. Special Occasion Business Gifts Business gifts contemplated for Foreign Government Officials must comply with all of the following guidelines:  Gifts may never be given in exchange for any improper business advantage, and may never take the form of cash or a cash equivalent (i.e. gift cards).  If permitted under local laws and regulations, gifts not exceeding a fair market value of US$50 (aggregating no more than $75 in a calendar year to any single recipient) may be provided to a Foreign Government Official as a token of esteem, courtesy or in return for hospitality in limited situations. In limited circumstances, gifts with a fair market value in excess of the foregoing limits may be appropriate but may only be given if discussed with and approved by the General Counsel. In addition, Six Flags Legal must provide written pre-approval prior to the provision of any gift to a Foreign Government Official. Proof of fair market value must be provided in order to document the transaction.  The nature and value of the gift must be customary for the country involved and appropriate for the occasion.  Unless a perishable item, all gifts should showcase the Company’s products or services, contain the Company’s logo, or otherwise fulfill a bona fide business purpose.  The expense for the gift must be accurately recorded in reasonable detail on the Company’s books and records.

Any provision of entertainment should be tangential to the primary purpose of the event, and must be reasonable and appropriate.  Hospitality must be furnished in conjunction with a direct business-related purpose, as well as be modest, reasonable and infrequent.  Any hospitality must be permitted under local laws and regulations, and consistent with local custom and practice. When practicable, invitations should be extended to the recipient’s employer in order to ensure acceptance of hospitality is consistent with the employer’s guidelines.  Expenses must be supported by relevant documentation and accurately recorded on the Company’s books and records.  Expenses should only be provided to the relevant designated Foreign Government Official, and not to any spouses, family members, or friends of an acceptable recipient.

III. Business-Related Travel and Lodging Business-Related Travel and Lodging contemplated for Foreign Government Officials must comply with all of the following guidelines:  Business-related travel and lodging may never be given in exchange for, or with the expectation of, any improper business advantage.  Six Flags Legal must pre-approve the payment or reimbursement of travel and lodging expenses offered, promised, or incurred by Foreign Government Officials.  Any payment of such travel and/or lodging expenses must directly relate to the promotion, demonstration, or explanation of Six Flags’ products or services. The Company must not fund “side trips” to additional destinations unrelated to the business purpose of the travel.  Six Flags representatives shall not select the Foreign Government Officials who travel in connection to a business-related site visit or product demonstration. This decision must only be made by the business partner/vendor/foreign government.  Six Flags shall not provide any Foreign Government Official with a cash stipend.

-7-

 Six Flags must only assume financial responsibility for travel and lodging expenses belonging to the designated officials and not to any spouses, family members or friends of the designated officials.  All costs must be paid directly by Six Flags to the service providers (e.g. hotel, airline, approved travel vendor). Airfare must be for economy class only unless otherwise approved by Six Flags Legal.  Any out-of-pocket expense requiring reimbursement must only be paid upon presentation of an original receipt, and up to a daily maximum of US$75 (unless otherwise approved by Six Flags Legal) for costs such as ground transportation or in- transit meals.  No reimbursements are permitted to be made in cash.

ATTACHMENT 4 DUE DILIGENCE FOR BUSINESS PARTNERS

Prior to entering into any future contractual business relationships, Six Flags shall undertake due diligence on higher risk business partners such as third parties that are likely to interact with Foreign Government Officials on Six Flags’ behalf, or where such business partners are themselves government-owned or operated.

Please contact the Six Flags Legal Department to determine what level of due diligence is necessary prior to entering into any third party business relationship.

This procedure is intended to reduce the risk of violation of applicable laws and regulations by limiting the risk of doing business with certain third parties. To the extent that local law prohibits some aspect of this program or requires that additional measures be taken, Six Flags will adjust its procedure in such jurisdiction(s) so as to comply with local laws.

Due diligence of all engaged parties should ideally be renewed at the time of contract renewal, but no longer than every three years.

I. Initial Step: Collecting Business Partner Information

The Six Flags employee (“Sponsor”) proposing the retention of the third party business partner (“proposed business partner”) must first submit a written request to Six Flags Legal specifying:

1. The name(s) and address(es) of the proposed business partner with a link to the entity’s website address, if available. 2. The proposed business partner’s contact person(s). 3. A brief explanation relating to any pre-existing relationships between the Sponsor and the proposed business partner or any individuals employed by it. 4. A brief explanation concerning how the proposed business relationship arose. 5. The names and contact information of at least two other comparable third party entities that were formally invited to bid on the opportunity to do business with Six Flags. Note that (i) the Sponsor should separately retain records and documentation concerning the selection process undertaken and (ii) if it is impracticable for the Sponsor to bid the opportunity to at least two other comparable third party entities, the Sponsor shall provide a detailed explanation to support such impracticability. 6. The existence of any publicly-available negative information regarding the proposed business partner. 7. Whether the proposed business partner would operate on behalf of Six Flags in a country assigned to the "most corrupt" quartile of countries surveyed (e.g. a CPI below 3.0), based upon the most recent Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (www.transparancy.org). -13-

8. Whether the proposed business partner would act on Six Flags’ behalf by (1) engaging with entities that are owned or controlled by a foreign government; or (2) having significant interaction with Foreign Government Officials.

II. Review by Six Flags Legal and Additional Due Diligence

Based on the initial steps outlined above, Six Flags Legal will determine whether additional due diligence must be undertaken prior to the engagement of the proposed business partner. Proposed business partners determined by Six Flags Legal to require additional due diligence will be required to complete and return the attached Six Flags’ Business Partner Due Diligence Questionnaire requiring detailed disclosures.

Upon receipt and review of the completed Due Diligence Questionnaire, Six Flags Legal may determine that unresolved or irresolvable compliance concerns exist that prevent Six Flags from entering into a business relationship with the proposed business partner. If reaching such conclusions, Six Flags Legal will document the basis for the conclusion and ensure that the proposed business partner is prohibited from engaging in future business with Six Flags. Such concerns may include:

 The proposed business partner has previously been held criminally or civilly liable for matters relating to violations of anti-bribery/anti-kickback/anti-corruption related laws or regulations.  The proposed business partner refuses to certify compliance with Six Flags’ anti- corruption standards.

Should Six Flags Legal determine that no unresolved or irresolvable compliance concerns exist, and that no additional due diligence is necessary, Six Flags Legal shall continue to oversee the relationship with the proposed business partner to ensure that the proposed business partner:

 Certifies its understanding of the FCPA and related anti-corruption laws, as well as its compliance with said laws.  Executes a written agreement that includes anti-bribery certifications and audit rights to be exercised by Six Flags.

When appropriate, Six Flags Legal will obtain a legal opinion from local counsel.
