Form of Executive Time-Based Restricted Share Unit Agreement
for the
Carnival plc 2014 Employee Share Plan 
(the Plan)
Conditional Right to Receive
This Executive Time-Based Restricted Share Unit Agreement (the Agreement), shall apply to the award of time-based restricted share units (the TBS RSUs) granted to Employees of Carnival plc (the Company), on [DATE] (the Grant Date) under the Carnival plc 2014 Employee Share Plan (the Plan)
The Company hereby grants you a TBS RSU award consisting of that number of TBS RSUs set forth in your EquatePlus portfolio, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.  In the event of any inconsistency, the rules of the Plan shall take precedence.  Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan.
1.    Nature of Award
Each TBS RSU comprised in your Award is equivalent to a hypothetical investment in one ordinary share of $1.66 each in the capital of the Company (a Share).  Your Award is in the form of a conditional right to acquire the number of Shares equal to the number of TBS RSUs comprised in your Award at a nil cost.  
You will have no beneficial interest in any Shares during the Restricted Period.  
2.    Restricted Period
Your Award is subject to a Restricted Period. In this case, the Restricted Period on the TBS RSUs shall expire as to [VESTING SCHEDULE] the TBS RSUs on [VESTING DATES] as specified in your EquatePlus portfolio.
Generally, your Award will be forfeited automatically on you ceasing to be an employee of the plc Group (whether lawfully or unlawfully) before the expiry of the Restricted Period.  The Company may allow certain exceptions to this, such as cessation of employment by reason of death in certain circumstances.  In addition, the Award shall vest and the Restricted Period shall expire in the event of termination due to disability.  Further, in accordance with Section 12(a) of the Plan, in the event a member of the Combined Group or an Affiliate terminates your employment with such company other than for Cause (as defined in the Plan) upon or within 12 months following a Change in Control, the Award shall vest and the Restricted Period shall expire on the date of your termination of employment.

3.    Release of Award
You will be deemed to have called for the release of your Award on the date on which your Award vests following expiration of the Restricted Period and attainment of the vesting criteria set out in the Restricted Period clause above unless the release of your Award would be prohibited by law, the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Companies or the Company’s dealing code.  In such a case you will be deemed to have called for the release of your Award on the first date following vesting of your Award on which the release of your Award would not be prohibited. This Award may only be settled in Shares.
4.    Dividends
The Compensation Committee has determined that on each occasion on which a dividend is paid in respect of one Share, a notional amount of cash and shares equal to the cash and share dividend paid in respect of one Share will be credited to each TBS RSU comprised in your Award (the Dividend Equivalents).  Dividend Equivalents will be withheld by the Company for your account and will be distributed to you in the form of additional Shares on settlement of your Award.  If your Award is forfeited, you will have no entitlement to such Dividend Equivalents.
5.    Taxation
You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, your employer (the Employer), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to your participation in the Plan and legally applicable to you (Tax-Related Items), is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  You further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if you are subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you agree to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, you authorize the Company or its agent to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:  (i) withholding from your wages or other cash compensation paid to you by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Award.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company will not withhold in Shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event other than where U.S. federal tax withholding is required upon your attainment of eligibility for Retirement, or if otherwise approved in advance by the Committee or the Board.
Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable 








withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case you may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, you are deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Award, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
Finally, you agree to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of your participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if you fail to comply with your obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
6.    Nature of Grant  
In accepting the grant, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:
(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)    the grant of your Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of TBS RSUs, or benefits in lieu of TBS RSUs, even if TBS RSUs have been granted in the past; 
(c)    all decisions with respect to future Awards or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 
(d)    the Award and your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming or amending an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer, or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates, as applicable, to terminate your employment or service relationship (if any);
(e)    you are voluntarily participating in the Plan; 
(f)    the Award and the Shares subject to the Award, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h)    the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; 
(i)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from the termination of your employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of 








employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); 
(j)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Award and the Shares, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service you may provide as a director of the Company or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates; 
(k)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award, and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and
(l)    neither the Company, the Employer or any member of the Combined Group or its Affiliates shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the British Pound Sterling that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

The services you provide are unique, extraordinary and essential to the business of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, particularly in view of your access to the Combined Group or its Affiliates’ confidential information and trade secrets.  Accordingly, in consideration of the Award, you agree that you will not, without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, at anytime during the term of your employment with the Combined Group or its Affiliates and (except as provided below) for the then remaining duration of the Restricted Period, if any, following the date on which your employment with the Combined Group or its Affiliates terminates, directly or indirectly, within the cruise industry wherever located, engage in any business activity directly or indirectly competitive with the business of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, or serve as an officer, director, owner, consultant, or employee of any organization then in competition with the Combined Group or its Affiliates.  In addition, you agree that during such restricted period following your employment with the Combined Group or its Affiliates, you will not solicit, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Combined Group or its Affiliates, its subsidiaries or division, who was such at the time of your separation from employment hereunder.  In the event that this provision should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable law.
10.    Nondisclosure
You expressly agree and understand that the Combined Group or its Affiliates own and/or control information and material which is not generally available to third parties and which Combined Group or its Affiliates consider confidential, including, without limitation, methods, products, processes, customer lists, trade secrets and other information applicable to its business and that it may from time to time acquire, improve or produce additional methods, products, processes, customers lists, trade secrets and other information (collectively, the Confidential Information).  You acknowledge that each element of the Confidential Information constitutes a unique and valuable asset of Combined Group or its Affiliates, and that certain items of the Confidential Information have been acquired from third parties upon the express condition that such items would not be disclosed to Combined Group or its Affiliates and its officers and agents other than in the ordinary course of business.  You acknowledge that disclosure of Combined Group or its Affiliates’ Confidential Information to and/or use by anyone other than in Combined Group or its Affiliates’ ordinary course of business would result in irreparable and continuing damage to Combined Group or its Affiliates.  Accordingly, you agree to hold the Confidential Information in the strictest secrecy, and covenant that, during the term of your employment with Combined Group or its Affiliates (or any member of the Combined Group or its Affiliates) or at any time thereafter, you will not, without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly, allow any element of the Confidential Information to be disclosed, published or used, nor permit the Confidential Information to be discussed, published or used, either by himself or by any third parties, except in effecting your duties for Combined Group or its Affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

Moreover, you may disclose trade secrets in a complaint, or other document, filed in a lawsuit, or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  Finally, if you file a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Company or an Affiliate for reporting a suspected violation of the law, you may disclose the trade secret to your attorney and use the trade secret in the court proceeding, if you file any document containing the trade secret under seal and do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

(a)    In the case of fraud, negligence, intentional or gross misconduct or other wrongdoing on your part (or any other event or circumstance set forth in any clawback policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any clawback policy adopted to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder) that results in a material restatement of the Company’s issued financial statements, you will (i) forfeit any unvested TBS RSUs and (ii) be required to reimburse the Company for all or a portion, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, of any income or gain realized on the settlement of the TBS RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the TBS RSUs with respect to any fiscal year in which the Company’s financial results are negatively impacted by such restatement.  You agree to and shall be required to repay any such amount to the Company within 30 days after the Company demands repayment.  In addition, if the Company is required by law to include an additional “clawback” or “forfeiture” provision to outstanding awards, under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or otherwise, then such clawback or forfeiture provision shall also apply to this Agreement as if it had been included on the Grant Date and the Company shall promptly notify you of such additional provision.  In addition, if you have engaged or are engaged in Detrimental Activity after your employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates has ceased, then, within 30 days after written demand by the Company, you shall return any income or gain realized on the settlement of the TBS RSUs or the subsequent sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the TBS RSUs.

The ACB would ordinarily equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if you own other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the ACB of the other shares.  It is your responsibility to comply with applicable reporting obligations.  You should consult with your personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.
CHINA
TERMS AND CONDITIONS 


The following terms and conditions will be applicable to you to the extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that your participation in the Plan will be subject to exchange control restrictions in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), as implemented by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE): 


Vesting.  This provision supplements the “Restricted Period” section of the Agreement:


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Award will not vest and no Shares will be issued to you unless and until all necessary exchange control or other approvals with respect to the Award under the Plan are obtained from SAFE or its local counterpart (SAFE Approval), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.  In the event that SAFE Approval has not been obtained, or the Company is unable to maintain its SAFE Approval, prior to any date(s) on which the Award is scheduled to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in Appendix A to the Agreement, the Award will not vest until the seventh day of the month following the month in which SAFE Approval is obtained or reinstated (the Actual Vesting Date).  If your Employment terminates prior to the Actual Vesting Date, you shall not be 








entitled to vest in any portion of the Award and the Award shall be forfeited without any liability to the Company, the Employer or any member of the Combined Group and its Affiliates.


If or to the extent the Company is unable to obtain or maintain SAFE Approval, no Shares subject to the TBS RSUs for which SAFE Approval has not been obtained or maintained shall be issued.  In this case, the Company retains the discretion to settle any TBS RSUs in cash paid through local payroll in an amount equal to the market value of the Shares subject to the TBS RSUs less any Tax-Related Items; provided, however, that in case the Company is able to obtain or reinstate its SAFE Approval with respect to any TBS RSUs, the cash payment for TBS RSUs not covered by the SAFE Approval shall not be made until the SAFE Approval has been obtained or reinstated.


Settlement of TBS RSUs and Sale of Shares.  This provision supplements the “Release of Award” section of the Agreement:


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Agreement, to facilitate compliance with PRC exchange control restrictions you agree that any Shares acquired at settlement of the Award may be immediately sold at settlement or, at the Company’s discretion, at a later time (including when you terminate your employment for any reason).  If, however, the sale of the Shares is not permissible under the Company’s insider trading policy, the Company retains the discretion to postpone the issuance of the Shares subject to the vested Award until such time that the sale is again permissible and to then immediately sell the Shares subject to the Award.  You further agree that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of the Shares (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization), and you expressly authorize such broker to complete the sale of the Shares.  You acknowledge that the Company’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of Shares at any particular price.  Upon the sale of the Shares, the Company agrees to pay the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions, to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations and provided any liability for Tax-Related Items has been satisfied.  Due to fluctuations in the share price and/or the United States Dollar exchange rate between the settlement date and (if later) the date on which the Shares are sold, the sale proceeds may be more or less than the market value of the Shares on the settlement date (which is the amount relevant to determining your tax liability).  You understand and agree that the Company is not responsible for the amount of any loss you may incur and that the Company assumes no liability for any fluctuation in the share price and/or United States Dollar exchange rate.  


You further agree that any Shares to be issued to you shall be deposited directly into an account with the Company’s designated broker.  The deposited Shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the brokerage account.  This limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms.  The limitation shall apply to all Shares issued to you under the Plan, whether or not you continue to be employed by the Company, the Combined Group or one of its Affiliates.


Exchange Control Restrictions.  By accepting the Award, you understand and agree that you will be required to immediately repatriate to China the proceeds from the sale of any Shares acquired under the Plan or from any cash dividends paid or such Shares.  You further understand that such repatriation of the proceeds may need to be effected through a special 








exchange control account established by the Company or any Affiliate, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds may be transferred to such account by the Company (or its designated broker) on your behalf prior to being delivered to you.  You also acknowledge and understand that there may be a delay between the date the Shares are sold and the date the cash proceeds are distributed to you.  You further agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated broker) to effectuate such transfers.  


The proceeds may be paid to you in United States Dollars or local currency, at the Company’s discretion.  If the proceeds are paid to you in United States Dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a United States Dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account.  If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, (i) you acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions, and (ii) you agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold or dividends are paid and the time the proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to you.  You agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
