ITEM 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 12, 2009, Cedar Fair, L.P. and Canada’s Wonderland, its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“the Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent; and certain “Lenders” party thereto. The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2007.

As part of the Amendment, $900 million of term debt scheduled to mature in 2012 has been extended by two years. The extended term debt will mature in 2014 and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points, as long as the Company’s corporate rating from Moody’s is better than “B2” or its issuer credit rating from S&P is better than “B”.

The amendment will also allow, among other things:

 

   

The incurrence of secured debt (in the form of loans or bonds), with proceeds to repay existing term loans;

 

   

Up to $150 million of sales/leasebacks, with 100% of net proceeds used to repay existing term loans ahead of extended term loans;

 

   

Asset sales in aggregate of greater than $250 million in Fair Market Value, with 100% of net proceeds used to repay existing term loans ahead of extended term loans, and will include a revolving credit facility commitment reduction equal to 5% of the net proceeds upon such sale; and

 

   

Additional offerings of credit extensions.

Other terms of the amendment include a reduction in the Company’s existing $345 million revolving credit facilities, including a $30 million reduction in its U.S. facility and a $5 million reduction in its Canadian facility.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference.
