("NOMURA"), Malibu Entertainment Worldwide, Inc. ("MALIBU"), Malibu Centers,
Inc. ("MCI"), MEI Holdings, L.P. ("MEIH") and SZ Capital, L.P. ("SZ").

previously entered into that certain Recapitalization Agreement dated
as of March 1, 1999, as amended by letter agreement dated April 26,
1999 (collectively, the "PRIOR AGREEMENT") to evidence the parties'
agreements with respect to the $21,390,375 loan from Nomura to MCI

LOAN"), the loan from SZ to Malibu (the "SZ LOAN"), the loans from
MEIH to Malibu (the "MALIBU LOANS") and the recapitalization of
Malibu. The parties are entering into this Agreement to amend and
restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety.
2. FINAL DOCUMENTATION. The parties agree to work diligently and in good
faith to complete and execute final documentation incorporating the
terms of this Agreement, and such other terms as the parties may
reasonably require, on or before the date (the "CLOSING DATE") that is

is subject to the completion of such final documentation.
3. INTEREST ACCRUAL. Nomura agrees that no interest payments will be
payable under the MCI Loan and the MEIH Loan prior to the Closing
Date. Such interest will instead be capitalized on the dates such
interest payments were due. Each reference in Paragraphs 4, 5, 6 and 7
below to the "amount" of the MCI Loan, the MEIH Loan, the SZ Loan or

and expenses reasonably incurred by Nomura in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon such payment, Nomura
will exchange the remaining balance of the MCI Loan as of such date
for preferred stock of Malibu having the terms described for "Series

the discharge of the MCI Loan and the release of the collateral
securing it.

amount of the MEIH Loan as of such date for Series B Preferred Stock
at par, resulting in the discharge of the MEIH Loan and the release of
the collateral securing it,

and (b) without payment of additional consideration, Malibu will issue

additional 2 million shares of Malibu common stock issued by Malibu;
and (ii) an additional 4 million shares of Malibu common stock
conveyed by MEIH, all without payment of additional consideration.

Preferred Stock) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and
ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (a) up to $12
million in the aggregate (including amounts advanced between November

capital, certain past due payables, and other specified needs of

of the Malibu Loans as of such date into preferred stock of Malibu
having the terms described for "Series C" on Exhibit "A" ("SERIES C
PREFERRED STOCK")
8. RIGHT TO CONSULT WITH MALIBU ON OPERATING BUDGETS. In order to provide
the parties with a common benchmark against which to measure whether
SZ will be obligated to advance the additional $2 million described
above, Nomura will have the right to review (in good faith) and
approve (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)
Malibu's initial operating budget for 1999 and subsequent years during
which Nomura owns Series B Preferred Stock.
9. FAILURE OF RECAPITALIZATION TO OCCUR. If the events described in
Paragraphs 4-7 do not occur on or before the Closing Date, then
monthly interest payments as set forth in the loan documents will
again become due and owing from and after the first day after the
Closing Date.
10. RELEASES. The final documentation to be executed by the parties on the
Closing Date will include mutual waivers and releases of Nomura, on
the one hand, and Malibu, MCI, MEIH and SZ, on the other hand, with
respect to any and all claims and causes of action arising out of or
in connection with the MCI Loan, the MEIH Loan, the SZ Loan and the
Malibu Loans on or before the Closing Date (other than such parties'
obligations under this Agreement and the final documentation).
11. AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE. Except for Paragraph 3 hereof, this Agreement
is only a conceptual overview of the recapitalization of Malibu and
the other matters discussed herein. Additional reasonable details
