Within five (5) Days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnitor shall undertake the defense of each such claim with counsel that has been approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitor undertakes the defense of a claim in the manner required by this Clause 13.3, the Indemnitee nonetheless may also, at its own expense, engage separate counsel and participate in the defense of any claim brought against it. If the Indemnitor fails to undertake and sustain the defense of any

claim in the manner required by this Clause 13.3, the Indemnitee may engage separate counsel, pay, settle or otherwise finally resolve such claim for the account and at the risk and expense of the Indemnitor; provided, however, that any payment, settlement or final resolution otherwise received by the Indemnitee shall to the extent so received release the Indemnitor from liability for such claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no settlement or consent to any judgment, award or decree may be made that (i) does not unconditionally release the Indemnitee of all liability, or (ii) require the Indemnitee to make an admission of fault, in each case, without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.

13.4	Required Disclosures

The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee informed in reasonable detail of the progress of any claim or other matter for which indemnification is sought. Each Party hereto shall, subject to such confidentiality restrictions or other conditions as may be reasonably imposed, provide to the other Party hereto copies of such documents as are reasonably required to enable the other Party to make a reasonable determination respecting its indemnification rights and obligations hereunder. No proposed settlement agreement or other consensual resolution which could result in any liability or further claim against an Indemnitee shall be agreed to by the Indemnitor without the prior approval of the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the continuing obligations of each of the Parties as Indemnitors hereunder.

13.5	Mitigation

The Indemnitee shall:

(a)

make all reasonable efforts to prevent and reduce to a minimum and mitigate the effect of any Loss it incurs as a result of a matter giving rise to a claim and nothing in this Clause 13 (Indemnities) in any way restricts or minimizes this obligation or the Indemnitee’s general obligation to mitigate a Loss which it may incur as a result of a matter giving rise to a claim; and

(b)

not encourage or promote any claim by any Third Party in relation to any event or occurrence.

The provisions of this Clause 13.5 (Mitigation) apply to the indemnified Party in respect of every indemnity under this Agreement

14.	LIABILITY

14.1	Total Liability

Subject to Clause 14.3 (Exceptions), the total liability of each Party in relation to this Agreement, including as a result of breach of contract howsoever arising, including tort, claims in negligence and statutory duty, is limited to an amount equal to two (2) times the amount received by SeaWorld pursuant to Clauses 11.1 (Exclusivity Payments) and 11.2(a) (Consulting and Design Fees) of this Agreement.

14.2	Special, Consequential or Punitive Damages

Subject to Clause 14.3 (Exceptions), in connection with this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for special, consequential, or punitive damages or indirect costs or expenses or indirect loss of profits.

amounts required to be paid to Third Parties by the applicable Indemnitor pursuant to Clause 13 (Indemnities);

(c)

(d)

any other liability for which a Party may not exclude or limit its liability under Applicable Laws.

(c)

As between the Parties, any and all ZH Improvements shall be owned by ZH and shall be included in the ZH IPR; provided, that under no circumstances shall ZH be entitled to, or be deemed to acquire, any rights in the SeaWorld IPR on which the ZH Improvement is based, from which the ZH Improvement is derived, or without which the ZH Improvement cannot operate, function or be exploited as intended.

(e)

ZH shall have the sole and exclusive right to engage in any registration, prosecution, filing or maintenance action (“Registration Action”) with respect to any Project IP with any Governmental Instrumentality anywhere in the world; provided, that if ZH elects not to take a Registration Action outside of the Territory with respect to any Project IP (i) SeaWorld may direct ZH to take such Registration Action, so long as SeaWorld reimburses ZH for all costs in relation thereto, or (ii) ZH may elect to allow SeaWorld take such Registration Action on ZH’s behalf, in ZH’s name and at SeaWorld’s sole cost and expense, in which case ZH shall reasonably cooperate with SeaWorld at SeaWorld’s sole cost and expense.

15.2	License of SeaWorld Marks

(a)

Subject to the restrictions, limitations, reservations, terms, conditions and SeaWorld’s approval rights, each to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, and in consideration for the fees payable to SeaWorld under this Agreement, SeaWorld grants to ZH, or procures the grant to ZH of, and ZH hereby accepts for the Term of this Agreement an exclusive (during the Initial Exclusivity Period and subject to Clause 3 (Exclusivity)), non-transferable (except as expressly provided herein), non-sublicensable (except as expressly provided herein), irrevocable (subject to SeaWorld’s termination and suspension rights hereunder), license in the Territory to use the trademarks set forth on Schedule 2 and any successor trademarks thereto (the “SeaWorld Marks”):

(i)

in connection with its discussions with relevant governmental authorities on matters relating to this Agreement and the projects contemplated hereby; and

(ii)

in connection with its discussions with potential sources of equity and debt financing for the projects contemplated by this Agreement, using a pre-approved script; and

(iii)

otherwise as necessary to receive the Advisory and Support Services;

provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the exclusive nature of this license grant shall not prevent SeaWorld from using the SeaWorld Marks in the Territory in connection with: (A) the marketing of other SeaWorld Parks located outside the Territory or (B) the cross-marketing of the Licensed Parks with SeaWorld’s other parks located outside the Territory and ZH acknowledges that Schedule 2 hereto contains a summary from SeaWorld of the current status of certain trademark registrations in the Territory by SeaWorld or its Affiliates and potential qualifications on ZH’s use of such trademarks.

(b)

SeaWorld shall register, maintain, prosecute and enforce its rights in the SeaWorld Marks in a manner consistent with how it would register, maintain, prosecute, protect or enforce its rights in the Territory with respect to the SeaWorld Marks as if SeaWorld were developing a wholly-owned theme park or waterpark branded with the SeaWorld Marks in the Territory, but in any event, using no less than all Commercially Reasonable Efforts. SeaWorld shall provide ZH with regular updates on a reasonable basis regarding SeaWorld’s registration and prosecution actions with respect to the SeaWorld Marks within the Territory. ZH agrees to render all reasonable assistance, at SeaWorld’s sole cost and expense, in connection with such prosecution and enforcement. SeaWorld shall retain the sole and exclusive right to register, maintain and prosecute the SeaWorld Marks and associated trademarks in the Territory (and ZH shall agree to exclude any rights it has to register, maintain and prosecute the SeaWorld Marks under Applicable Law), however, subject to SeaWorld’s obligation in the first sentence of this Clause 15.2(b), if SeaWorld elects not to take a registration, maintenance or prosecution action within the Territory with respect to the SeaWorld Marks, ZH may direct SeaWorld to take such action, so long as ZH reimburses SeaWorld for all costs in relation thereto.

(c)

If notwithstanding the actions referred to in sub-clause (b) above, the Parties (acting reasonably) agree:

(i)

not to proceed with further efforts to register, maintain, prosecute and enforce SeaWorld’s rights in any of the trademarks that comprise the SeaWorld Marks in the Territory; and

(ii)

the absence of such rights precludes the use of such trademarks in the Development,

then the Parties shall, unless ZH exercises its rights pursuant to Clause 19.5(c) (Other Termination Events), as promptly as possible meet in good faith to agree on a strategy for developing and registering alternative trademarks in the Territory as closely as reasonably possible to such trademarks in order to enable ZH to proceed with the enjoyment of its rights under this Agreement.

(d)

ZH shall not authorize the SeaWorld Marks to be used except as expressly authorized pursuant to this Agreement. Except as expressly agreed upon in writing or pursuant to Clause 23.5 (Assignment), ZH shall have no right to sell, assign or in any way dispose of or encumber the right or license to use the SeaWorld Marks, or to grant any sublicenses with respect to any right, license or use of the SeaWorld Marks. Any attempt to transfer such rights shall be deemed null and void and shall entitle SeaWorld, in its sole discretion, to seek any and all legal or equitable remedies available to it.

(e)

ZH acknowledges that SeaWorld, or its Affiliates, are the owners of the SeaWorld IPR and SeaWorld Brand Marks and will not:

(i)

directly or indirectly challenge or contest:

SeaWorld’s, and its Affiliates’, ownership of:

(I)

the SeaWorld Brand Marks; and

SeaWorld IPR related to the subject matter of, and in existence as of the termination or expiration of, this Agreement; or

(B)

the validity of any trade ▇▇▇▇ registration covering the SeaWorld Brand Marks in any jurisdiction;

(ii)

unless expressly authorized pursuant to a Park Specific Agreement, apply for registration of a SeaWorld Brand ▇▇▇▇ in any country or apply for, or obtain, registration of any trade or service ▇▇▇▇ or domain name in any country which consists of, or comprises, or is confusingly similar to, a SeaWorld Brand ▇▇▇▇; or

(iii)

use any trademark which consists of, or comprises, or is confusingly similar to, a SeaWorld Brand ▇▇▇▇ or which it is aware that is the subject of a subsisting US trade ▇▇▇▇ registration or application owned by SeaWorld or its Affiliates without the express written permission of SeaWorld pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or a Park Specific Agreement.

(f)

Prior to any meeting with any Government Instrumentality or the issuance of any press release or public announcement for the purpose of disclosing a Development for the first time, the Parties will coordinate the registration of domain names and social media accounts incorporating the SeaWorld Marks and any other trademarks included in the SeaWorld IPR.

reasonably be expected from a skilled and experienced owner of theme parks, waterparks or Interactive Parks, as applicable, engaged in services similar to the services to be provided under the Agreements for a project of a similar size, scope and complexity to the Project; and

(ii)

the right to sublicense the rights granted in Clause 15.3(b) to its Affiliates and Project Consultants to the extent necessary to enable such Affiliates and Product Consultants to provide goods and services back to ZH solely for the purpose of enabling the ZH to exercise its rights in Clause 15.3(b),

to copy, adapt, translate, modify, enhance, maintain, further develop, prepare derivative works or otherwise alter, use and exploit the SeaWorld Know-How, and any other SeaWorld IPR, solely for the purposes of creating the Project Materials and as necessary for receiving the Advisory and Support Services.

(d)

Neither SeaWorld nor any of its Affiliates has granted any license to any other Person to use the SeaWorld IPR, SeaWorld Marks or SeaWorld Know-How for the development of theme parks, Interactive Parks or water parks in the Territory (other than joint marketing arrangements or agreements for the provision of know-how or as described in Clause 15.3(c) above), and except as disclosed on Schedule 2 none of SeaWorld or its Affiliates has exercised any right or taken any other action which could reasonably be expected to derogate, impair, compete or conflict with the rights granted to ZH hereunder in any material respect.

Enforceability

The prevailing Party in any action instituted under this Agreement will be entitled to recover all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in such action.

(iv)

Consolidation

(A)

Each Party agrees that:

(I)

for the purposes of the Rules, the arbitration agreement set out in this Clause 21 and the arbitration agreement contained in each other Park Specific Agreement shall together be deemed to be an arbitration agreement that binds each party to this Agreement and to each other Park Specific Agreement; and

(II)

in accordance with the Rules, Disputes in arbitration under this Agreement may be resolved in a single arbitration together with Disputes (as defined in any Park Specific Agreement) in arbitration arising out of such other Park Specific Agreement.

(vi)

Governing Law

This Clause 21.2 (Arbitration) shall be governed by the laws of Hong Kong.

Confidentiality

(a)

Confidential Information

The term “Confidential Information” means any trade secrets, Know-How or other confidential or proprietary information that is disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party under this Agreement, and that is either: (i) conspicuously marked or otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure; or (ii) should reasonably be understood by the receiving party to be confidential based upon the nature of the information disclosed or the circumstances of the disclosure, whether tangible or intangible, and in whatever form or medium provided, including, without limitation, all information generated by the Receiving Party that contains, reflects or is derived from the furnished information; provided that Confidential Information shall not include any information which:

(i)

is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Permitted Recipients, as defined below, in breach of the terms hereof;

(ii)

becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party, its agents, representatives, consultants or employees) not known by the Receiving Party to be under a duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; or

(iii)

is already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure.

The Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is and shall at all times remain the property of the Disclosing Party. No use of such Confidential Information is permitted except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or a Park Specific Agreement, the Disclosing Party grants to the Receiving Party no ownership, license or other right, title, or interest in, to, or under any Intellectual Property, trade secret, or other rights of the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it may rightfully disclose or make available the Confidential Information to the Receiving Party without the violation of any contractual, fiduciary, or other obligation to any person, and the Disclosing Party agrees to indemnify in full the Receiving Party and the Permitted Recipients against any and all Loss incurred by the Receiving Party or by any such person in connection with the untruth of such representation or the Disclosing Party’s breach of such warranty.

The term “Disclosing Party” shall mean the Party disclosing Confidential Information to the other Party, also known as the Receiving Party, defined below.

The term “Receiving Party” shall mean the Party receiving Confidential Information from the Disclosing Party.

(b)

Strict Confidence

In consideration of the Disclosing Party’s disclosure to the Receiving Party of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall retain in strict confidence, and not disclose in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any person other than the Permitted Recipients or use for any purpose other than as contemplated by this Agreement, any Confidential Information by taking all reasonable measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination or unauthorized use of the Confidential Information, including, at a minimum, those measures that it takes to protect its own confidential information (provided that such measures are consistent with at least a reasonable degree of care) and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, use or disclose the Confidential Information or any part thereof except as contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party hereby confirms that it is aware and that its Permitted Recipients have been or will be advised that applicable securities laws prohibit any person who has material non-public information about SeaWorld from purchasing or selling securities of SeaWorld on the basis of such information or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person may purchase or sell such securities. Each Party hereby confirms that it will take any action necessary or appropriate to prevent the use by the Receiving Party and its Permitted Recipients of any information in a way which might violate any securities law.

(c)

Permitted Recipients

The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information to its direct and indirect parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants and professional advisors and potential investors (provided that the Receiving Party shall not disclose the fees under this Agreement, the License Fee and the Animal Loan and Services Fee set forth in Scheduled 1 hereto without Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (collectively, the “Permitted Recipients”) who need to know the Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement or to perform their duties on behalf of a Party pertaining to the Project and provided that such Permitted Recipients are legally obligated to the Receiving Party:

(i)

to hold such information in confidence; and

(ii)

to use such information only for the purposes expressed herein.

The Receiving Party shall be liable to the Disclosing Party if any of the Receiving Party’s Permitted Recipients breach any of the foregoing obligations, whether or not, at the time of such breach, the individual is employed by the Receiving Party, and the Receiving Party hereby agrees to indemnify in full the Disclosing Party against any and all Losses incurred by the Disclosing Party as a result of any Permitted Recipient breaching this warranty. The Receiving Party agrees, at its sole expense, to take all reasonable measures to prohibit any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information.

(d)

Required Disclosures

Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate either Party to refrain from disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required by law, regulation, judicial process or the rules of any securities exchange. In the event that any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law, including, pursuant to the terms of a subpoena or similar document or in connection with litigation or other legal proceedings, or in connection with an arbitration proceeding under this Agreement or a Park Specific Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees to: (i) notify the Disclosing Party immediately of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such request; (ii) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to narrow such request; and (iii) exercise its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosed Confidential Information. If disclosure of the Confidential Information is required to prevent the Receiving Party from being held in contempt or subject to other penalty, the Receiving Party shall furnish only such portion of the Confidential Information as, in the written opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose. In addition, the Receiving Party shall allow the Disclosing Party, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, to contest the disclosure of Confidential Information on the Disclosing Party’s behalf, and the Receiving Party will exercise its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with the Disclosing Party in such efforts to contest such disclosure.

(e)

Term and Termination

This Agreement is intended to cover any Confidential Information exchanged by the Parties during the Term and for a period of five (5) years after the termination or expiry of the other Park Specific Agreements. Any termination or expiration of the Term of this Agreement shall not affect the restrictions on disclosure of any Confidential Information disclosed hereunder, and the other terms hereof which by their nature are intended to survive such termination or expiration.

(f)

Injunctive Relief

Notwithstanding the agreement to conduct discussions with respect to a Dispute in accordance with this Agreement or to arbitrate Disputes as set forth in this Agreement or in any other agreement between the Parties, each Party in its sole discretion may take appropriate action to have the confidentiality terms of this Agreement enforced by obtaining injunctive or other appropriate relief including, but not limited to, temporary relief before a time at which a preliminary hearing may be held by a court of competent

jurisdiction to prevent continuance of such breach in an appropriate court of law, in addition to any other remedies which may be available. It is understood and agreed that monetary damages might be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by either Party and that without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to it, a Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief by way of injunction, specific performance or otherwise if the other Party breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(g)

Intellectual Property Use

Nothing in this Clause 23.10 (Confidentiality) shall operate to limit or restrict each Party’s permitted use of the other Party’s Intellectual Property, materials or know-how pursuant to Clause 15 (Intellectual Property) or any license agreement entered into with respect to the Developments unless such right has been rescinded in accordance with Clause 19.9 (Return of the Parties’ IPR).

No Partnership

During the term of this Agreement, no Party shall be deemed to be a representative, agent or employee of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever and shall not hold itself out as having the authority or right to assume, create, or undertake any obligation on behalf of the other Party without the express written consent of the other Party. This Agreement is not a commercial agency agreement and shall not be registered with any Governmental Instrumentality.

23.16

Waiver of Immunity
