“2.7.1.- MHI Loans assignments

On the Contribution Date at the latest, the Parties will simultaneously execute and formalise any and all of the following documents and transactions:

a) PDP as sole shareholder of Tertian shall acknowledge and fully accept the existence of a debt of Tertian (debtor) to MHI and Tenerife Sol (creditors) for an amount equivalent to the MHI Loans.

b) MHI and Tenerife Sol will assign their positions as creditors of the MHI Loans to PDP in accordance with the draft credit assignment agreement attached hereto as Schedule 1; PDP will accordingly subrogate into MHl’s and Tenerife Sol’s position in relation to Tertian (debtor) becoming PDP creditor of Tertian for the MHI Loans (“MHI-PDP Credit Assignment”).

c) As a consequence of the MHI-PDP Credit Assignment, PDP will become debtor to MHI and to Tenerife Sol for an amount equivalent to the MHI Loans (“PDP Assigned Debt”) and shall acknowledge and fully accept the existence of such PDP Assigned Debt, which shall thereafter be handled as follows:

To this end, the Parties (MHI acting on its own behalf and as the controlling shareholder of Tenerife Sol) are willing to reduce the PDP Assigned Debt to an amount of a maximum of 8,000,000 euros subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Once such reduction has been made, the remainder of the PDP Assigned Debt will be kept as an overall loan facility of up to a maximum of 8,000,000 euros. This maximum amount shall be adjusted according to cash requirements or cash surpluses of PDP and Tertian on an aggregate basis to keep such amount to the minimum required.

Such loan facility will be maintained by PDP with MHI as a 4-year term facility with interest payments at an annual rate of EURIBOR + 3.5%, calculated on a monthly basis and on the outstanding capital, from the date of the assignment contemplated in provision 2.7.1.b. The payment of the interests shall be half-yearly in arrears on 31 June and 31 December, respectively.

The maximum amount of the PDP Assigned Debt to be maintained during the 4-year period will be as follows:

● until 30 June 2016, the maximum draw down amount will be 8,000,000 euros;

● from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017, the maximum amount will be 5,000,000 euros;

● from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018, the maximum amount will be 2,500,000 euros, by which deadline the facility will be cancelled.

PDP-JVA – Second Amendment dated 29 January 2014 Page 5 of 12

 

d) MHI will assign to KAT the amount of 6,000,000 euros of the PDP Assigned Debt (“MHI-KAT Assignment”). The terms and conditions of the MHI-KAT Assignment will be the following:

d.l) KAT shall have amortised the principal and interests by 31 December 2015 at the latest (i.e. the deadline established for the additional equity contributions to PDP in clause 2.7.5 (Additional equity contributions)).

Simultaneously to each of the equity contributions to be made subject to clause 2.7.5 (Additional equity contributions) below, KAT shall amortise as follows:

● when the first additional joint equity contribution of 6,000,000 euros is made by the Shareholders, then KAT shall amortise a single amount of 1.500.000 euros; and

● when any other additional joint equity contribution is made by the Shareholders, then KAT shall amortise an amount equal to 100% of KAT’s part of such equity contribution (e.g. if KAT makes a contribution of 2,000,000 euros, then KAT would have to simultaneously amortise 2,000,000 euros).

d.2) From the date of assignment, KAT shall pay an annual interest rate of EURIBOR + 3.5%, calculated on a monthly basis and on the outstanding capital. The payment of the interests shall be half-yearly in arrears on 31 June and 31 December, respectively.

To guarantee the due and timely repayment of the MHI-KAT Assignment, KAT will: (i) pledge in favour of MHI (pledgee) the PDP shares newly issued to KAT (pledgor) on the basis of KAT’s capital contributions made under letters b), c) and d) of clause 2.7.2 below, (ii) pledge in favour of MHI (pledgee) the total 47% of KAT’s (pledgor) units in Katmandu Group, i.e. the partnership currently holding any and all of the intellectual property rights with respect to the “Katmandu Park” concept and its entertainment elements.

The pledge indicated under point “(i)” shall be made through a pledge agreement as attached as schedule 2 hereto, and the pledge indicated under point “(ii)” shall be made under equal conditions.

2.7.2.- Initial equity contributions

The Shareholders will, at the latest on the Contribution Date, but in any case concurrently with the execution and formalisation of the documents and transactions mentioned under clause 2.7.1 above, jointly contribute as equity to PDP the amount of 15,500,000 euros as follows:

a.2) The Shareholders’ respective equity contributions shall be formed as follows:

● if and as long as the MHI-KAT Assignment balance is equal or lower than 1,500,000 euros, then MHI shall make its respective contribution in cash only; and

● KAT shall make any and all such contributions in cash.

b) These additional equity contributions will be used for the following purposes and under the following order of priority:

b.l) if the cash provided to PDP through the initial Shareholders contributions (clause 2.7.2) and the external financing (clause 2.7.3) does not suffice to complete the funding referenced in clause 2.7.4.b), then the additional equity contributions will primarily be used to the complete such funding;
