Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Trustee only. As a result, no such party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, any such party may take concurrent
proceedings in any number of jurisdictions. 
  

	 	10.2	None of the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder or the Manager may, without the Agent’s prior written consent, terminate the appointment of the New Process
Agent; if the New Process Agent resigns or its appointment ceases to be effective, the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder and/or the Manager (as the case may be) shall within fourteen (14) days appoint a company which has premises in
London and has been approved by the Agent to act as the Borrower’s, the Guarantor’s, the Shareholder’s and/or the Manager’s (as the case may be) process agent with unconditional authority to receive and acknowledge service on
behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder and/or the Manager of all process or other documents connected with proceedings in the English courts which relate to this Deed. 

  

 10 









	 	10.3	For the purpose of securing its obligations under Clause 10.2, each of the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder and the Manager irrevocably agrees that, if it for
any reason fails to appoint a process agent within the period specified in Clause 10.2, the Agent may appoint any person (including a company controlled by or associated with the Agent or any Lender) to act as the Borrower’s, the
Guarantor’s, the Shareholder’s or the Manager’s (as the case may be) process agent in England with the unconditional authority described in Clause 10.2. 

  

	 	10.4	No neglect or default by a process agent appointed or designated under this Clause (including a failure by it to notify the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder or
the Manager (as the case may be) of the service of any process or to forward any process to the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder or the Manager (as the case may be)) shall invalidate any proceedings or judgment. 

  

	 	10.5	Each of the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder and the Manager appoints in the case of the courts of England the New Process Agent to receive, for and on its
behalf, service of process in England of any legal proceedings with respect to this Deed. 

  

	 	10.6	A judgment relating to this Deed which is given or would be enforced by an English court shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Shareholder
and/or the Manager (as the case may be) and may be enforced without review in any other jurisdiction. 

  

	 	10.7	Nothing in this Clause shall exclude or limit any right which the Agent, the Lenders, the Hermes Agent or the Trustee may have (whether under the laws of any country,
an international convention or otherwise) with regard to the bringing of proceedings, the service of process, the recognition or enforcement of a judgment or any similar or related matter in any jurisdiction. 

  

	 	10.8	In this Clause “judgment” includes order, injunction, declaration and any other decision or relief made or granted by a court.


 IN WITNESS whereof the parties hereto have caused this Deed to be duly executed as a deed on the day and year first
before written.

Vessel permanently unfit for normal use, at noon Greenwich Mean Time on the date on which notice claiming the loss of the Vessel is given to its insurers. 

  


	 	4.6	Prepayment in case of sale of the Vessel 

 If the Vessel is sold by the Borrower with the prior consent of the Agent (which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), then the Borrower will concurrent with completion of the sale
prepay the Loan in accordance with Clause 4.7 and Clause 12.1. Subject to Clause 4.8 hereof, prepayment of the Loan consequent upon the permitted sale of the Vessel shall absolve the Borrower from any liability to pay prepayment fees or costs.

  

	 	4.7	Effect of prepayment 

 Any notice given by the Borrower under Clause 4.1, Clause 4.2 or Clause 4.4 shall be irrevocable and shall oblige the Borrower to pay to the Agent on account of the Lenders the amount or amounts therein stated on the date therein
stated. No amount prepaid under this Agreement may be redrawn. Subject to Clause 4.9, each prepayment under this Agreement shall be applied in satisfaction of the Borrower’s remaining obligations under Clause 3 in inverse chronological order.
Prepayments under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest thereon and the payment of all other sums then owing under any of the Security Documents.

 If any repayment or prepayment of the Loan or part thereof is made otherwise than on the last day of a Pre-Delivery Interest Period or an Interest Period or, following Conversion, any repayment or prepayment of the Loan or part thereof is
made otherwise than on the last day of the Fixed Rate Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders on demand such additional amount as the Agent may certify (such certificate to contain a calculation thereof in reasonable
detail) as necessary to compensate each of the Lenders for any loss (including the cost of breaking deposits or re-employing funds (including warehousing and other related costs)) or any losses under any Interest Exchange Arrangement and/or any swap
agreements or other interest rate management products entered into by the Lenders for the purpose of this transaction or expense (including warehousing and other related costs) on account of funds borrowed, contracted for or utilised to fund the
amount so repaid or prepaid provided that each Lender shall pay to the Borrower any swap breakage gain actually received by the Lender under any Interest Exchange Arrangement to which it is a party and/or any swap agreements or other interest rate
management products entered into by the Lender for the purpose of this transaction.

	5	Interest 

  

	 	5.1	Payment of interest prior to the Termination Date 

 From the first Drawdown Date in respect of a Portion until the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay interest on that Portion at the Floating Interest Rate applicable for each Pre-Delivery Interest
Period in respect thereof which interest shall be payable in arrears on each Pre-Delivery Interest Payment Date from the application of the amount of Portion 3 drawn down on that Pre-Delivery Interest Payment Date (if any) and by the Borrower.

 For the avoidance of doubt, Portion 3 or any part thereof may only be drawn down hereunder and applied in payment of interest
accrued up to the Termination Date. 
  

	 	5.2	Payment of interest from the Termination Date 

 From the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay interest on the Loan at the Applicable Interest Rate for each Interest Period in respect thereof which interest shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date PROVIDED THAT if the current Interest Period does not end on the relevant Interest Payment Date the Borrower shall only pay the interest accrued during that Interest Period up to but not including the Interest Payment

	 	5.3	Selection and duration of Pre-Delivery Interest Periods and Interest Periods 

  

	 	5.3.1	Subject to the other provisions of this Clause 5, the Borrower may give notice to the Agent to be received by the Agent not later than 9.00 a.m. London time five
(5) Business Days prior to the commencement of each Pre-Delivery Interest Period in respect of a Portion or part thereof or Interest Period in respect of the Loan (prior to the Conversion Date) or the Delayed Principal Amount, specifying
whether that interest period is to be of three (3) or six (6) months’ duration or end on the next Cash Sweep Payment Date or Repayment Date. Pre-Delivery Interest Periods shall commence, in the case of the first in respect of the
first part of Portion 1 and Portion 2 to be drawn down, on the First Drawdown Date, in the case of the first in respect of the first part of Portion 3 to be drawn down on the first Pre-Delivery Interest Payment Date and, in the case of Pre-Delivery
Interest Periods other than the first in respect of any Portion or part thereof, on the expiry of the preceding Pre-Delivery Interest Period. Interest Periods in respect of the Loan and the Delayed Principal Amount shall commence, in the case of the
first, on the Termination Date and 4 August 2009 respectively and, in the case of Interest Periods other than the first, on the expiry of the preceding Interest Period. 

 However, the Agent shall have the right to adjust the length of any Pre-Delivery Interest Period for a part of a Portion (other than the
first part to be drawn down) such that it ends on the same date as any existing Pre-Delivery Interest Period in respect of that Portion and the first Pre-Delivery Interest Period in respect of a Portion such that it ends on the same date as the
current Pre-Delivery Interest Period of the other Portions. 
 The final Pre-Delivery Interest Period in respect of a Portion,
the Portions or any part thereof (as the case may be) shall end on the Termination Date and the final Interest Period shall end on the final Repayment Date. 
  

	 	5.3.2	Subject to the consent of Hermes and of each of the Lenders remaining in full force and effect on the date of the Election Notice (as hereinafter defined), the Borrower
may, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Total Loss has occurred, at any time prior to 29 September 2006, elect to convert the basis upon which interest is calculated hereunder by giving notice (an “Election
Notice”) to the Agent not less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such shorter time as the parties may agree) before the date on which the Interest Exchange Arrangements are to be entered into (the “Election Date”) to
request that with effect from a date on or prior to 29 September 2006 (the “Conversion Date”) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan then outstanding shall be the Fixed Rate. 

  

	 	5.3.3	The Borrower shall forthwith provide a copy of the Election Notice to the Guarantor, who shall upon receipt provide a written confirmation to both the Borrower and the
Agent that the Guarantee remains in full force and effect, PROVIDED ALWAYS that no Interest Exchange Arrangement will be entered into by a Lender unless a confirmation satisfactory to the Agent, the Lenders and Hermes is received from the
Guarantor. 

  

 50 









	 	5.3.4	Any such request under Clause 5.3.2 shall be irrevocable, provided that any informal request made by the Borrower to the Agent for an indication of the rates which
might be available should the Borrower deliver an Election Notice shall not be construed as the giving of an Election Notice by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 5.3.2. The parties hereto agree that not more than two (2) informal requests may be
made. 

  

	 	5.3.5	On receipt of an Election Notice from the Borrower pursuant to Clause 5.3.2, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such election and of the applicable
Election Date and Conversion Date. 

  

	 	5.4	Conversion 

 Conversion
shall only occur if: 
  

	 	5.4.1	the Agent has received an Election Notice; 

  

	 	5.4.2	the Agent has received the confirmation from the Guarantor referred to in Clause 5.3.3; 

  

	 	5.4.3	the Agent has received evidence of the Interest Exchange Arrangements executed by the parties thereto; and 

  

	 	5.4.4	the Fixed Rate for the Loan has been determined. 

 In the absence of satisfaction of any of the above or any other relevant provision of Clause 5.3, interest on the Loan shall continue to be calculated at the Floating Interest Rate. 
  

	 	5.5	Fixed Rate 

 The Lenders,
the Agent and the Borrower agree that as soon as the Fixed Rate shall have been determined, the Agent shall inform the Borrower by issuing to the Borrower a Notice of Fixed Rate. Upon such issuance the Borrower’s obligation will be to pay
interest on the Loan (except in respect of the Delayed Principal Amount) at the Fixed Rate from the Conversion Date and, until such date, at the Floating Interest Rate. 
  


	 	5.6	Break costs in relation to Conversion 

 If an Election Notice has been given to the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 5.3.2 and Conversion does not occur on the Conversion Date as a result of the relevant provisions of Clause 5.3, Clause
5.4 and/or Clause 5.5 not being satisfied or waived, other than as a result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Agent or any of the Lenders, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders interest accrued to but
excluding the Conversion Date together with such amount as the Agent may certify (such certificate to contain a calculation thereof in reasonable detail) as necessary to compensate each of the Lenders for any loss (including the cost of breaking
deposits or re-employing funds (including warehousing and other related costs)) or any losses under any Interest Exchange Arrangement and/or any swap agreements or other interest rate management products entered into by the Lenders for the purpose
of this transaction as a consequence of Conversion not being made on the Conversion Date. 
  

 51 








 If it is necessary for the Lenders to break deposits or re-employ funds taken or borrowed
to make or maintain such Lender’s Contribution to the Portions in order for Conversion to take place on the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders interest accrued to but excluding the Conversion
Date together with such amount as the Agent may certify to be necessary to compensate a Lender for any losses incurred as a consequence of the Pre-Delivery Interest Period(s) in respect of the Portions or the Interest Period in respect of the Loan
(as the case may be) being prematurely terminated in order to allow Conversion to occur on the Conversion Date including, without limitation, any loss (including the cost of breaking deposits (including warehousing and other related costs)) or
expense (including warehousing and other related costs) on account of funds borrowed, contracted for or utilised to fund such Lender’s Contribution to the Loan. 
  

	 	5.7	No notice and unavailability 

 If the Borrower fails to select a Pre-Delivery Interest Period or an Interest Period in accordance with Clause 5.3 or the Agent certifies that deposits for the period selected by the Borrower are not available to each of the Lenders in the
ordinary course of business in the London Interbank eurocurrency market to fund the relevant Portion or the Loan (as the case may be), the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Pre-Delivery Interest Period or an Interest Period of six
(6) months (or such other period as the Agent may in its discretion decide). 
  

	 	5.8	Separate Interest Periods for Instalments 

 If an Interest Period would otherwise extend beyond any Repayment Date, the Loan shall be divided into two (2) or more portions. One (1) or more portions will be of an amount equal to the amount
of the Loan required to be repaid on each relevant Repayment Date and will have an Interest Period of such length as will expire on that date and the Interest Period relating to the remainder of the Loan will be determined in accordance with Clauses
5.3 and 5.7. 
  

	 	5.9	Extension and shortening of Pre-Delivery Interest Periods or Interest Periods 

 If a Pre-Delivery Interest Period or an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, the Pre-Delivery Interest
Period or Interest Period shall be extended until the next following Business Day unless the next following Business Day falls in the next calendar month or the Interest Period has been selected pursuant to Clause 5.3.2 in which case the Interest
Period will be shortened to expire on the preceding Business Day. 
  

 52 








 If a Pre-Delivery Interest Period or an Interest Period commences on the last Business Day
in a month or if there is no day in the month in which the Pre-Delivery Interest Period or Interest Period will end which corresponds numerically to the day on which it begins, the Pre-Delivery Interest Period or Interest Period shall end on the
last Business Day in that month. 
  

	 	5.10	Applicable Interest Rate 

  

	 	5.10.1	In respect of Pre-Delivery Interest Periods or Interest Periods pursuant to Clause 5.3.1 and subject to Clause 5.3.1, Clause 5.12 and Clause 6, the rate of interest
applicable to the Loan (or relevant part in the case of the division of the Loan under Clause 5.8) during a Pre-Delivery Interest Period or an Interest Period shall be the Floating Interest Rate. 

  

	 	5.10.2	In respect of Interest Periods pursuant to Clause 5.3.2 and subject to Clause 5.3.2, Clause 5.12 and Clause 6, the rate of interest applicable to the Loan (or relevant
part in the case of the division of the Loan under Clause 5.8) during an Interest Period shall be the Fixed Rate. 

  

	 	5.11	Bank basis 

 Pre-Delivery
Interest, interest, fees payable pursuant to Clause 13 and any other payments hereunder of an annual nature shall accrue from day to day and be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and for the actual number of
days elapsed. 
  

	 	5.12	Default interest 

 If the
Borrower fails to pay on the due date any sum due under this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents to which it may at any time be a party, the Borrower shall, without affecting any other remedy of the Agent or the Lenders, pay interest on
such sum from the due date to the actual date of payment (as well after as before judgment). Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis at the higher of the Applicable Interest Rate fixed for the latest interest period and the rate computed by the
Agent and certified by the Agent to the Borrower as being the aggregate of: 
  

	 	5.12.1	the Margin plus one per cent (1%); and 

  

	 	5.12.2	the greater of (a) in the case of the Lenders, the average (rounded upwards if necessary to the next integral multiple of one-sixteenth of one per cent (1/16%)) of the
respective rates per annum at which each of the Lenders is able to acquire in accordance with its normal practice deposits in Dollars in successive periods of one (1) month (or for such shorter period as the Agent may in its absolute discretion
select) in the London Interbank eurocurrency market in an amount equivalent to or comparable with its Contribution to such sum, and, in the case of the Agent, the rate per annum at which it is able to acquire in accordance with its normal practice
deposits in Dollars in successive periods of one (1) month (or for such shorter period as the Agent may in its absolute discretion select) in the London Interbank eurocurrency market in an amount equivalent to such sum, as at approximately 11.00
a.m. London time on any relevant day and (b) in the case of the Lenders, the average (rounded upwards if necessary to the next integral multiple of one-sixteenth of one per cent (1/16%)) of the cost to each of the Lenders of funding its Contribution
to such sum, and, in the case of the Agent, the cost of funding such sum, such interest to be compounded at the end of the period selected by the Agent and to be payable on demand. In the event of LIBOR not being available then the Agent shall in
its discretion use the Substitute Basis for its calculation as set out in Clause 6.3. 

  
  

	6	Substitute Basis of Funding 

  

	 	6.1	Absence of quotations 

 Subject to Clause 6.2, if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11.00 a.m. London time, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations
of the remaining Reference Banks. 
  

	 	6.2	Market disruption 

 If a
Market Disruption Event occurs for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s relevant Contribution for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: 
  

	 	6.2.1	the applicable Margin; and 

  

	 	6.2.2	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that
which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its relevant Contribution from whatever source it may reasonably select. 

  


 53 








 In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means: 
  

	 	(a)	at or about noon on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period Reuters BBA Page LIBOR 01 is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies
a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(b)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from Lenders (in number exceeding thirty
four per cent (34%) of the Lenders and whose Contributions and Commitments are not less than thirty four per cent (34%) of the Loan) that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the London Interbank eurocurrency market would be
in excess of LIBOR. 

  

	 	6.3	Substitute basis of interest or funding 

  

	 	6.3.1	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than
thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. 

  

	 	6.3.2	Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to Clause 6.3.1 shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties to this Agreement.


  

	 	6.4	Review 

 So long as any
Substitute Basis is in force, the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, shall from time to time, but not less often than monthly, review whether or not the circumstances referred to in Clause 6.1 or Clause 6.2 still prevail
with a view to returning to the normal provisions of this Agreement. 
  

	7	Payments 

  

	 	7.1	Place for payment 

 All

	 	7.2.1	Each payment to be made by the Borrower to a Lender or the Agent hereunder in Dollars shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of Taxes
unless the Borrower is required by law to make such a payment subject to the deduction or withholding of Taxes, in which case the sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased
to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Lender or the Agent receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it
would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made. 

  

 54 









	 	7.2.2	 Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 7.2.1, if any Lender or the Agent on its behalf is required to make any payment on account of Tax (not
being a tax imposed on the net income of its Office by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or in which its Office is located or any other tax existing and applicable on the date of this Agreement under the laws of any jurisdiction) on or in
relation to any sum received or receivable hereunder by such Lender or the Agent on its behalf (including, without limitation, any sum received or receivable under this Clause 7) or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed,
levied or assessed against such Lender or the Agent on its behalf, the Borrower shall, upon demand of the Agent, indemnify such Lender or the Agent against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties and expenses payable or
incurred in connection therewith, other than interest, penalties, and expenses (a) that accrue during any periods of time beginning on the thirty first (31st) day (or such longer period as any Lender may reasonably require) following the day on which the Lender or the
Agent, as applicable, has actual knowledge of the imposition or assertion of such Taxes or other Taxes, or (b) that are otherwise imposed or asserted on account of the bad faith or wilful neglect of such Lender or the Agent. If any Lender
proposes to make a claim under the provisions of this Clause 7.2.2 it shall certify to the Borrower in reasonable detail within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as any Lender may reasonably require) after becoming aware of the event by
reason of which it is entitled to make its claim or claims the basis of its claim or claims, such certificate to be conclusive, save for manifest error. 


  

	 	7.2.3	Without affecting the Borrower’s obligations under Clause 7.2.1 and in consultation with the Agent, the affected Lender will then take all such reasonable steps as
may be open to it to mitigate the effect of the event (for example (if then possible) by changing its Office or transferring some or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower, Hermes and the Agent). The reasonable costs of mitigating the effect of any such change shall be borne by the Borrower save where such costs are of an internal administrative nature and are not incurred in dealings by any Lender with third
parties. 

  

	 	7.2.4	No person to which a Lender assigns part or all of its interest under this Agreement pursuant to Clause 17 shall be entitled to receive any greater increase in payment
under Clause 7.2.1 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned unless such assignment shall have been made at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist. Each
assignee shall, on or prior to the date on which the assignor assigns all or part of its interest to such assignee, comply with the certification requirements of Clause 7.2.3. 

  

 55 









	 	7.3	Production of receipts for Taxes 

 If the Borrower makes any payment hereunder in Dollars in respect of which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding for Taxes, it shall pay the full amount to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other
authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and shall deliver to the Agent within thirty (30) days after they have made such payment to the applicable authority any original receipt issued by such authority
evidencing the payment to such authority of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from such payment. 
 If an
additional payment is made under Clause 7.2.1 and any Lender or the Agent on its behalf determines that it has received or been granted a credit against or relief of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such
additional payment, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment and provided that it has received the cash
benefit of such credit, relief or remission, pay to the Borrower such amount as such Lender or the Agent shall in its reasonable opinion have concluded to be attributable to the relevant deduction or withholding. Any such payment shall be conclusive
evidence of the amount due to the Borrower hereunder and shall be accepted by the Borrower in full and final settlement of its rights of reimbursement hereunder in respect of such deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere
with the right of any Lender and the Agent to arrange their respective tax affairs in whatever manner they think fit. 
  

	 	7.4	Money of account 

 If any
sum due from the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Security Document to which it may at any time be a party, or any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto, has to be converted from the currency (the “first
currency”) in which the same is payable under such Security Document, order or judgment into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of: 
  

	 	7.4.1	making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower; 

  

	 	7.4.2	obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal; or 

  

	 	7.4.3	enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto; 

 the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each of the Lenders from and against any damages or losses suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used
to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which each Lender and the Agent (as the case may be) may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency
with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The above indemnity shall constitute an obligation of the Borrower separate and independent from its other
obligations and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Agent or any of the Lenders. 
  

 56 









	 	7.5	Accounts 

 The Agent
shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing the amounts from time to time lent by and owing to each of the Lenders hereunder or under any of the other Security Documents. In any legal action or proceeding arising out of

recorded therein. 
  

	 	7.6	Earnings 

 Provided no
Event of Default has occurred (following which the Agent shall (inter alia) be entitled to request the Borrower to give notice pursuant to clause 3 of the Earnings Assignment and apply such Earnings in accordance with Clause 12.1) such Earnings

addition to and shall not in any way be prejudiced or affected by any collateral or other security now or hereafter held by the Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders, the Hermes Agent or any of them for all or any part of the amount hereby or thereby
secured or any other right or remedy of the Trustee, the Agent, the Lenders or the Hermes Agent or any of them under this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents, by operation of law or otherwise howsoever arising. All the powers arising
from such security may be exercised from time to time as the Trustee and/or the Agent and/or the Hermes Agent may deem expedient.

	 	8.1	Increased costs 

 If by
reason of: 
  

	 	8.1.1	any change in law or in its interpretation or administration; and/or

Banking Supervision whether or not having the force of law: 

  

	 	(a)	any of the Lenders incurs a cost as a result of its performing its obligations under this Agreement and/or its advancing its Contribution hereunder; or


  

 57

	 	(e)	any of the Lenders suffers any decrease in its rate of return as a result of any changes in the requirements relating to capital ratios, monetary control ratios, the
payment of special deposits, liquidity costs or other similar requirements affecting that Lender, 

 then the
Borrower shall from time to time on demand pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lender or Lenders amounts sufficient to indemnify the relevant Lender or Lenders against, as the case may be, such cost, such increased cost (or such
proportion of such increased cost as is in the reasonable opinion of the relevant Lender or Lenders attributable to the funding or maintaining of its or their Contribution(s) hereunder) or such liability. 
 A Lender affected by any provision of Clause 8.1 shall promptly inform the Agent after becoming aware of the relevant change and its
possible results (which notice shall be conclusive evidence of the relevant change and its possible results) and the Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, notify the Borrower of the change and its possible results. Without
affecting the Borrower’s obligations under Clause 8.1 and in consultation with the Agent, the affected Lender will then take all such reasonable steps as may be open to it to mitigate the effect of the change (for example (if then possible) by
changing its Office or transferring some or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Agent). The reasonable costs of mitigating the effect of any such
change shall be borne by the Borrower save where such costs are of an internal administrative nature and are not incurred in dealings by any Lender with third parties.

Agent, the Hermes Agent, the Trustee or any Lender (the “Non-Performing Party”) is prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of Force Majeure this Agreement shall remain in effect but the
Non-Performing Party’s relevant obligations shall be suspended for so long as the Force Majeure continues and to the extent that the Non-Performing Party is so prevented, PROVIDED THAT:

	 	(a)	the Non-Performing Party gives the Agent prompt written notice which the Agent shall forthwith upon receipt send to the Borrower describing the circumstances of Force
Majeure (including the nature of the occurrence, its expected duration and the effects of the Force Majeure on the ability of the Non-Performing Party to perform its relevant obligations), and continues to furnish weekly reports with respect thereto
during the period of Force Majeure; 

  

	 	(b)	the Non-Performing Party uses all reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform and to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure; and 


 

	 	(c)	as soon as reasonably possible after the cessation of the Force Majeure the Non-Performing Party shall notify the Agent (who shall notify the Borrower) in writing of
such cessation and shall resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement if such resumption is then possible.

liabilities imposed on the Borrower or the Vessel with respect to pollution by any state or nation or political subdivision thereof, including but not limited to OPA, and to provide the Agent on demand with such information or evidence as it may
reasonably require of such compliance;

equity investor in the Borrower or as an owner of any property or interest as to which the Borrower is also owner but only to their capacity as lenders, holders of security interests or beneficiaries of security interests; and


  

	 	(c)	unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and without prejudice to the right of each Lender to be indemnified pursuant to this Clause 10.22.11:

	 	(ii)	subject to the prior written approval of the relevant Lender which the Lender shall have the right to withhold, the Borrower will be entitled to take, in the name of
the relevant Lender, such action as the Borrower may see fit to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend any such claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and injuries as are referred to above in this Clause 10.22.11 or to recover

	 	10.22.13	maintain the registration of the Vessel under and fly the Bahamas flag and not do or permit anything to be done whereby such registration may be forfeited or
imperilled. 

  

	 	10.23	Hermes Cover 

 The
Lenders have claims arising from this Agreement guaranteed by the Federal Republic of Germany (represented by Hermes) by way of the Hermes Cover. The unrestricted existence of the Hermes Cover is a pre- requisite to drawdown of any Portion or part
thereof as referred to in Clause 2.3.3 and to the maintenance of the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement after drawdown. 
  

 82 








 The terms and conditions of the Hermes Cover are incorporated herein and in so far as they
impose terms, conditions and/or obligations on the Trustee and/or the Agent and/or the Hermes Agent and/or the Lenders in relation to the Borrower or any other Obligor then such terms, conditions and obligations are binding on the parties hereto and
further in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Hermes Cover and the terms hereof the terms of the Hermes Cover shall be paramount and prevail and any breach of those terms as applied to the Borrower or any other Obligor shall be
deemed to be an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower has no interest or entitlement in the proceeds of the Hermes Cover.

	 	10.24	Dividends 

 The Borrower
will procure that any dividends or other distributions and interest paid or payable in connection therewith received by the Shareholder will be paid to the Guarantor directly or indirectly by way of dividend in each case promptly on receipt.

  

	11	Default 

  

	 	11.1	Events of default 

 Each
of the events set out below is an Event of Default: 
  

	 	11.1.1	Non-payment 

 The
Borrower or any other Obligor does not pay on the due date any amount of principal or interest of the Loan (provided however that if any such amount is not paid when due solely by reason of some error or omission on the part of the bank or banks
through whom the relevant funds are being transmitted no Event of Default shall occur for the purposes of this Clause 11.1.1 until the expiry of three (3) Business Days following the date on which such payment is due), or within three
(3) Business Days of the due date any other amount, payable by it under any Security Document to which it may at any time be a party, at the place and in the currency in which it is expressed to be payable. 
  

	 	11.1.2	Breach of other obligations 

  

	 	(a)	Any Obligor or the Builder fails to comply with any other material provision of any Security Document or there is any other material breach in the sole opinion of the
Agent of any of the Transaction Documents and such failure (if in the opinion of the Agent in its sole discretion it is capable of remedy) continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of its occurrence and in any such
case as aforesaid the Agent in its sole discretion considers that such failure is or could reasonably be expected to become materially prejudicial to the interests, rights or position of the Lenders PROVIDED THAT no Event of Default will
arise if the Guarantor is unable to comply with the Moratorium Undertakings but a new equity contribution (as more particularly described in clause 16 of the Guarantee) is made within thirty (30) days from the date of the breach of the
Moratorium Undertakings and PROVIDED FURTHER THAT the new equity contribution will not prevent the Agent exercising its rights under Clause 11.2.2 if the Guarantor is in breach of the Moratorium Undertakings on or after the date when such new
equity contribution is made; or 

  

 83 









	 	(b)	If there is a repudiation or termination of any Transaction Document or if any of the parties thereto becomes entitled to terminate or repudiate any of them and
evidences an intention so to do. 

  

	 	11.1.3	Misrepresentation 

 Any
representation, warranty or statement made or repeated in, or in connection with, any Transaction Document or in any accounts, certificate, statement or opinion delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor thereunder or in connection therewith is
materially incorrect when made or would, if repeated at any time hereafter by reference to the facts subsisting at such time, no longer be materially correct.

or assign all of its rights and benefits hereunder and under the Security Documents to any other lending institution but shall, prior to such transfer or assignment, on request by the Agent, pay a fee to the Agent of one thousand Dollars (USD1,000)
PROVIDED THAT (save in the case of a transfer or assignment of rights and benefits to any subsidiary or holding company of such Lender or to another Lender) no such transfer or assignment may be made without the prior written consent of the
Borrower (which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If a Lender transfers or assigns its rights and benefits hereunder as provided above, all references in this Agreement and the other Security Documents to that Lender shall be
construed as a reference to that Lender and/or its Transferee or assignee to the extent of their respective interests. 
 Each
Lender may, however, without the prior approval of the Agent, the Hermes Agent or the Borrower and without payment of a fee to the Agent, at any time transfer or assign all of its rights and benefits hereunder and under the Security Documents to

obligations hereunder or under the other Security Documents by any such transfer or assignment. 
  

	 	17.4	Effectiveness of transfer 

 If a Lender transfers or assigns all or any of its rights and benefits hereunder in accordance with Clause 17.3, then, unless and until the Transferee or assignee has agreed that it shall be under the same obligations towards the parties to
this Agreement as it would have been under if it had been a party hereto as a lender, the parties to this Agreement shall not be obliged to recognise such Transferee or assignee as having the rights against each of them which it would have had if it
had been such a party hereto. 
  

	 	17.5	Transfer of rights and obligations 

 If any Lender wishes to transfer all or any of its rights, benefits and/or obligations hereunder or under the other Security Documents as contemplated in Clause 17.3, then such transfer may be effected by
the due completion and execution by the Lender and the relevant Transferee of a Transfer Certificate in the form of Schedule 6. The Agent shall then forthwith execute the Transfer Certificate on behalf of itself and the other parties to this
Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Clause 17.8. On the later of the Transfer Date and the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of delivery of the Transfer Certificate to the Agent for execution: 
  

	 	17.5.1	to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Lender party thereto seeks to transfer its rights, benefits and/or its obligations hereunder or under the other
Security Documents, the Borrower and the relevant Lender shall each be released from further obligations to the other hereunder and their respective rights against each other shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred to in this
Clause 17.5 as “discharged rights, benefits and obligations”); 

  

 95 









	 	17.5.2	the Borrower and the Transferee party thereto shall each assume obligations towards each other and/or acquire rights against each other which differ from such
discharged rights, benefits and obligations only insofar as the Borrower and such Transferee have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and the relevant Lender; and 

  

	 	17.5.3	such Transferee shall acquire the same rights and benefits and assume the same obligations as it would have acquired and assumed had such Transferee been an original
party hereto as a Lender with the rights, benefits and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer. 

  

	 	17.6	Consent and increased obligations of the Borrower 

 In the event that a Lender transfers its Office or transfers or assigns its rights and/or benefits hereunder to its affiliate or another Lender and, at the time of such transfer or assignment, there
arises an obligation on the part of the Borrower hereunder to pay to the relevant Lender or any other person any amount in excess of the amount they would have been obliged to pay but for such transfer or assignment and the consent of the Borrower
has not been obtained to such transfer or assignment and the increased cost then, without prejudice to any obligation of the Borrower which arises after the time of such transfer or assignment, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay the amount of
such excess. 
  

	 	17.7	Disclosure of information 

 Each of the Arrangers, each of the Lenders, the Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Trustee (in this Clause 17.7 a “Bank”) acknowledges that all information received now or in the future from or on behalf of the Obligors under
or pursuant to or in connection with the Transaction Documents (other than any information which is in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Clause), is confidential information. Any of the Banks may disclose to: 

 

	 	17.7.1	a potential Transferee or assignee who may otherwise propose to enter into contractual relations with the Bank in relation to this Agreement;

	19	Steering Committee 

  

	 	19.1	Establishment 

 The
Group-Wide Lenders shall establish the Steering Committee. 
  

	 	19.2	No obligation 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, no member of the Steering Committee shall: 
  

	 	19.2.1	be bound to enquire as to the occurrence or otherwise of any Event of Default or as to the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement;


  

	 	19.2.2	be bound to disclose to any other person any information relating to the Borrower if such disclosure would or might in its opinion constitute a breach of any law or
regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person; 

  

	 	19.2.3	have any responsibility to the Lenders or each other for: 

  

	 	(a)	the financial position, creditworthiness, affairs or prospects of the Borrower and the other Obligors; 

  

	 	(b)	the performance or non-performance howsoever by the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder; 

  

	 	(c)	the due execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any document relating hereto or any filing or recording thereof or the
taking of any other action whatsoever and howsoever in connection therewith or the collectability of any sum due hereunder; 

  

	 	(d)	be under any liability whatsoever for any consequence of relying on: 

  

	 	(i)	any written communication or document believed by it to be genuine or correct and to have been communicated or signed by the person by whom it is purported to have been
communicated or signed; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the advice or opinions of any professional advisers selected by it or the Steering Committee; or 

  

	 	(e)	be under any duty to account to any Lender for any sum received by it for its own account or the profit element of any such sum PROVIDED THAT any member of the

	 	19.3.1	carry out its duties through such officers, directors, employees, consultants or independent agents as it may in its unfettered discretion think fit;


  

	 	19.3.2	assume that no Event of Default has occurred and that the Borrower is not in breach of its obligations under this Agreement unless the member has actual knowledge or
actual notice to the contrary; 

  

	 	19.3.3	with the agreement of the Steering Committee, engage any internal or external lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other experts whose advice or services may to it seem

	 	19.4	No reliance

financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Borrower and the other Obligors and, accordingly, each of the Lenders warrants to the members of the Steering Committee that it has not relied and will not rely on
the Steering Committee: 
  

	 	19.4.1	to check or enquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Borrower or any other Obligor in connection with this

	 	19.6	No liability 

 No member
of the Steering Committee shall be under any liability as a result of taking or omitting to take any action in relation to the NCLC Group Credit Facilities and the Lenders will not assert or seek to assert against any director, officer or employee
of that member any claim they might have against any of them in respect of the matters referred to in this Clause 19.6. 
  

	 	19.7	No fiduciary relationship 

 The relationship between a member of the Steering Committee on the one part and each Lender on the other is that of agent and principal only and no member of the Steering Committee shall have a fiduciary relationship with or be, or be
deemed to be, a trustee of or for any such party. 
  

	 	19.8	Neither Agent nor Trustee 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 19.7, no member of the Steering Committee shall be regarded as the Agent or the Trustee or exercise any right, power or discretion expressly delegated to the Agent or the Trustee under this Agreement
or the Security Documents. 
  

	 	19.9	Non-binding 

 Unless
expressly authorised in writing by the Group-Wide Lenders and then on such terms and conditions as the Group-Wide Lenders may require, the Steering Committee shall not negotiate the terms of or enter into any agreement on behalf of the Group-Wide
Lenders of any of them. 
 This Clause 19 and Clause 14.4 may be relied upon by any member of the Steering Committee
notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 17.11. 
  

	20	Governing Law 

 This
Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising from or in connection with it shall be governed by English law. 
  

	21	Waiver of Immunity 

 To
the extent that the Borrower may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process in relation to this Agreement or the
other Security Documents and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to itself or its assets such immunity (whether or not claimed) the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees throughout the Security Period
not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction. In respect of any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with any of the Security Documents the Borrower
hereby consents generally as a matter of procedure in relation to the waiver of immunity (but not so as to prejudice any defence which it may have on the merits of the substantive issue) to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in
connection with such legal action or proceedings including without limitation, the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its uses or intended uses) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in
such legal action or proceedings. 
  

	22	Rights of the Agent and the Lenders 

  

	 	22.1	No derogation of rights 

 Any rights conferred on the Agent and the Lenders or any of them by this Agreement or any other Security Document shall be in addition to and not in substitution for or in derogation of any other right which the Agent and the Lenders or any
of them might at any time have to seek from the Borrower or any other person for payment of sums due from the Borrower or indemnification against liabilities as a result of the Borrower’s default in payment of sums due from it under this
Agreement or any other Security Document. 
  

 99 









	 	22.2	Enforcement of remedies 

 None of the Agent or the Lenders shall be obliged before taking steps to enforce any rights conferred on it by this Clause or exercising any of the rights, powers and remedies conferred on it hereby or by law: 
  

	 	22.2.1	to take action or obtain judgment in any court against the Borrower or any other person from whom it may seek payment of any sum due from the Borrower under this
Agreement or any other Security Document; 

  

	 	22.2.2	to make or file any claim in a bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation or re-organisation of the Borrower or any other such person; or 

  

	 	22.2.3	to enforce or seek to enforce any other rights it may have against the Borrower or any other such person. 

  

	23	Jurisdiction 

  

	 	23.1	The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute: 

  

	 	23.1.1	arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement); or


  

	 	23.1.2	relating to any non-contractual obligations arising from or in connection with this Agreement, 

 (a “Dispute”). Each party to this Agreement agrees that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient
courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary. 
 This Clause 23.1 is for the benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders only. As a result, no such party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, any such party may take concurrent proceedings in any number
of jurisdictions. 
  

	 	23.2	The Borrower may not, without the Agent’s prior written consent, terminate the appointment of the Process Agent; if the Process Agent resigns or its appointment
ceases to be effective, the Borrower shall within fourteen (14) days appoint a company which has premises in London and has been approved by the Agent to act as the Borrower’s process agent with unconditional authority to receive and
acknowledge service on behalf of the Borrower of all process or other documents connected with proceedings in the English courts which relate to this Agreement. 

  

	 	23.3	For the purpose of securing its obligations under Clause 23.2, the Borrower irrevocably agrees that, if it for any reason fails to appoint a process agent within
the period specified in Clause 23.2, the Agent may appoint any person (including a company controlled by or associated with the Agent or any Lender) to act as the Borrower’s process agent in England with the unconditional authority described in
Clause 23.2. 

  

 100 









	 	23.4	No neglect or default by a process agent appointed or designated under this Clause (including a failure by it to notify the Borrower of the service of any
process or to forward any process to the Borrower) shall invalidate any proceedings or judgment. 

  

	 	23.5	The Borrower appoints in the case of the courts of England the Process Agent to receive, for and on its behalf service of process in England of any legal
proceedings with respect to this Agreement and any other Security Document. 

  

	 	23.6	A judgment relating to this Agreement which is given or would be enforced by an English court shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and may be enforced
without review in any other jurisdiction. 

  

	 	23.7	Nothing in this Clause shall exclude or limit any right which the Agent or a Lender may have (whether under the laws of any country, an international convention
or otherwise) with regard to the bringing of proceedings, the service of process, the recognition or enforcement of a judgment or any similar or related matter in any jurisdiction. 

  

	 	23.8	In this Clause “judgment” includes order, injunction, declaration and any other decision or relief made or granted by a court.

 Schedule 9 
 Apollo-Related Transactions 
  

	1	Subscription Agreement 

  

	 	1.1	At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement (the “Closing”), the Investors shall pay to the Guarantor
USD1,000,000,000 as payment for newly-issued ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) in the capital of the Guarantor, par value USD1.00 per share (the “Subscribed Ordinary Shares”). The Subscribed Ordinary Shares shall
represent fifty per cent. (50%) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Guarantor as of the Closing. 

  

	 	1.2	On the Jade Transfer Date (i) NCL America Holdings will transfer the Jade Assets to NCL International (or one of NCL International’s existing or newly-formed
subsidiaries), and the Jade Vessel shall be re-flagged in connection with such transfer from the US flag to the Bahamas flag provided that in the event that the transfer of the Jade Assets can be effected in a manner that the parties to the
Subscription Agreement agree is more advantageous from a tax perspective than the manner set forth above, such transfer shall be effected in an alternative manner and (ii) NCL International (or one of its existing or newly-formed subsidiaries)
will assume the Jade Liabilities (such transactions together the “Jade Transfer”). 

  

	 	1.3	Effective as of the Closing, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained therein, the Guarantor has released, waived and forever discharged Star,
its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents and their respective counsel (for the benefit of Star and its Subsidiaries) from any and all actions, causes of actions,
demands, suits, contracts, agreements, Encumbrances, Liabilities, or Losses of any type, based on any fact or circumstance arising prior to the Closing based on Star’s relationship with the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing
(including any claims relating to actual or alleged breaches of fiduciary or other duties by Star’s directors, officers or shareholders), whether based on contract or any applicable law (including tort, statute, local ordinance, regulation or
any comparable law) in any jurisdiction. 

  

	 	1.4	Star, the Guarantor and the Investors have stated their mutual intention that, following the Closing, Star and the Guarantor continue their current policies and
practices of close collaboration in support of their mutual efforts to develop their respective cruise line businesses, including providing assistance to each other in mutually-beneficial strategic initiatives, consultation, co-ordination,
collaboration in shipbuilding and sharing of ship design and providing or assisting in obtaining any necessary consents and approvals relating to such initiatives, shipbuilding or ship design provided that in no event shall Star or the Guarantor be
obligated to engage in any such efforts if such efforts could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the operation or prospects of such party’s respective cruise line business. 

  

 114 









	 	1.5	Star has indemnification obligations running in favour of the Investors. In the event that the Investors suffer any indemnifiable Losses in cash, Star may elect in its
sole discretion to have all or a portion of the indemnity obligation of Star deemed satisfied by having the Guarantor issue to the Investors additional Ordinary Shares. 

  

	 	1.6	If the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement upon the Closing (as described in clause 1.1 of this Schedule) are consummated, at the Closing, the
Guarantor shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to each Person who is the payee of any outstanding Guarantor Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, the amount owed to such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event
that the Closing Date transaction fee payable to either (i) an Affiliate of the Investors or (ii) Star or an Affiliate thereof exceeds, in either case, an amount which is equal to half of the amount paid to Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.
or an Affiliate thereof for its mergers and acquisitions advisory fee, such excess amount shall be paid, with respect to (i), by Star, or with respect to (ii), by the Investors. If the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement upon the
Closing (as described in clause 1.1 of this Schedule) are not consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and
expenses. 

  

	2	Shareholders’ Agreement 

 For so long as the ratio of the number of the Equity Securities owned by the Star Group on a fully diluted basis divided by the number of the Equity Securities owned by the Investor Group on a fully diluted basis is at least 0.6, the
Guarantor may not take any of the actions set forth in schedule II of the Shareholders’ Agreement without the prior written approval of Star. For the purpose of this clause “on a fully diluted basis” means taking into account
any shares issued or issuable under warrants, options and convertible instruments (or other equity equivalents). 
  

	3	Reimbursement Agreement 

  

	 	3.1	NCL America Holdings Undertakings 

 Star and Investor I have agreed (the “NCLA Undertakings”) to cause the Guarantor to conduct the NCLA Business in the usual and ordinary course of business after the Closing Date. In
connection therewith, Star shall periodically reimburse the Guarantor for any NCLA Cash Losses up to the amount of the Cash Losses Cap. 
  

	 	3.2	Star Termination Election 

 At any time after the Closing Date, Star may give notice (the “Star Termination Election”) to the Guarantor and Investor I that it is terminating the NCLA Undertakings. Following receipt by the Guarantor of the Star
Termination Election, the parties to the Reimbursement Agreement shall then within thirty (30) days thereafter either (i) enter into the NCLA Continuation Agreement (as defined in clause 3.4 of this Schedule) or (ii) make the NCLA
Wind-up Determination (as defined in clause 3.5 of this Schedule). 
  

 115 









	 	3.3	Guarantor Termination Election 

 In the event the Star Termination Election has not been delivered prior to 1 December 2008, then on the earlier of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which the aggregate amount of NCLA Cash Losses actually accrued equals or
exceeds USD37,500,000, the Guarantor may give notice to Star (the “Guarantor Termination Election”) that it is terminating the NCLA Undertakings. Following receipt by Star of the Guarantor Termination Election (a) the parties
to the Reimbursement Agreement shall undertake the Shut Down Procedure (b) the America Assets shall be transferred by NCL America Holdings to NCL International (or one of its existing or newly-formed subsidiaries), which transfer shall be
accomplished through liquidations to the extent necessary and NCL International (or one of its existing or newly-formed subsidiaries) shall assume any liabilities associated with the America Assets, and the Pride of America Vessel shall be
re-flagged in connection with such transfer from the US flag to the Bahamas flag (such transactions together the “America Transfer”) (c) the Guarantor shall pay to Star an amount equal to USD460,000,000 less any America
Accumulated Book Depreciation and less any Allocable America Indebtedness (d) the Guarantor shall prepay and/or cancel the relevant percentage of the term loan and revolving credit facilities outstanding under the credit facilities related to
the Aloha Assets (and the lenders under such facilities shall release all of their liens on the Aloha Assets) and cause the transfer to Star (or one of its subsidiaries) of all of NCL America Holdings’ right, title and interest in the Aloha
Assets free and clear of any Encumbrances through liquidations that qualify as complete liquidations under section 331 of the Code of NCL America Holdings, Pride of Aloha, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and each of NCL America Holdings’ other
subsidiaries, to the extent necessary and (e) Star shall reimburse the Guarantor for any and all Shut Down Costs up to USD35,000,000 (each such payment, distribution or transaction, the “Wind Up Transactions”). Following any
decision to shut down the NCLA Business, any decision to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of the NCLA Business (other than the Pride of America Vessel, the Pride of Aloha Vessel and their respective related assets) as part of the Shut
Down Procedure shall be determined solely by Star. The net proceeds of any such sale or disposition(s) shall be deducted from and shall reduce the Shut Down Costs by such amount of net proceeds. 
  

	 	3.4	NCL America Holdings Continuation Agreement 

 In the event that Star has provided the Guarantor and Investor I with the Star Termination Election, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Guarantor and Star will mutually agree in writing
that the Guarantor shall continue to operate and manage the NCLA Business (the “NCLA Continuation Agreement”), in which case (i) Star’s obligations to reimburse the Guarantor for the NCLA Cash Losses shall terminate, and
Star shall not be obligated to pay for any Shut Down Costs and (ii) the Guarantor shall pay to Star an amount equal to USD800,000,000, less the Aloha Accumulated Book Depreciation, less the America Accumulated Book Depreciation, less the
Allocable Aloha Indebtedness and less the Allocable America Indebtedness (such amounts together the “Payment”) provided that the Payment shall be funded in part by an incremental equity contribution to the Guarantor by each of Star
and Investor I in the amount of USD170,000,000, less one-half of the Aloha Accumulated Book Depreciation and less one-half of the Allocable Aloha Indebtedness. 
  

 116 








 Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Guarantor shall use
reasonable best efforts to fund any payments to Star pursuant to the NCLA Continuation Agreement, NCLA Wind Up Transactions or the Guarantor Termination Election by either the use of funds generated internally by the Guarantor or generated from the
incurrence of additional Indebtedness from existing or new debt facilities. In the event that the Guarantor is unable to fund payments in such a manner, Star and Investor I acknowledge and agree that such funds shall be generated by the net proceeds
of a primary offering of additional Ordinary Shares to the existing shareholders of the Guarantor at the Subscription Price. 
  

	 	3.5	NCL America Holdings Wind-up Determination 

 In the event that the Guarantor and Star have not entered into the NCLA Continuation Agreement by the end of such thirty (30) day period or the Guarantor provides to Star notice prior to the
expiration of such thirty (30) day period that the Guarantor has elected to shut down the NCLA Business (either such circumstance, the “NCLA Wind-up Determination”) the parties shall consummate the Wind Up Transactions.

 If none of the Guarantor Termination Election, the NCLA Continuation Agreement or the NCLA Wind-up Determination has been
made by 31 December 2008, the provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement shall apply as if the Guarantor and Star have entered into the NCLA Continuation Agreement.

the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement (as described in clause 1.1 of this Schedule), a change of control is triggered under the Indenture, dated 15 July 2004, between the Guarantor and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as

of each and every part and the ultimate balance of the Outstanding Indebtedness in accordance with the Loan Agreement and each other Security Document to which any of the Obligors or the Builder is a party; and

time in respect of the Outstanding Indebtedness or any part thereof. 

  

	 	4.2	Any satisfaction of obligations by the Guarantor to the Trustee or any discharge given by the Trustee to the Guarantor or any other agreement reached between the
Trustee and the Guarantor in relation to this Deed shall be, and be deemed always to have been, void ab initio if any act satisfying any of the said obligations or on the faith of which any such discharge was given or any such agreement was entered
into is subsequently avoided in whole or in part by or pursuant to any provision of any applicable law whatsoever. 

  

	 	4.3	This Deed shall remain the property of the Trustee and, notwithstanding that all monies and liabilities due or incurred by any of the Obligors or the Builder to the
Trustee which are guaranteed hereunder shall have been paid or discharged, the Trustee shall be entitled not to discharge this Deed or any security held by the Trustee for the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder for such period as may in the
reasonable opinion of the Trustee be necessary or appropriate under any applicable insolvency law after the last of such monies and liabilities have been paid or discharged and in the event of bankruptcy, winding-up or any similar proceedings being
commenced in respect of any of the Obligors or the Builder, the Trustee shall be at liberty not to discharge this Deed or any security held by the Trustee for the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder for and during such further period as the
Trustee may determine at its sole discretion. 

  

	5	Exclusion of the Guarantor’s Rights 

  

	 	5.1	Until the obligations of any Obligor or the Builder under the Loan Agreement and each other Security Document to which any Obligor or the Builder is a party have been
fully performed, the Guarantor shall not: 

  

	 	5.1.1	be entitled to share in or succeed to or benefit from (by subrogation or otherwise) any rights which the Trustee may have in respect of the Outstanding Indebtedness or
any security therefor or all or any of the proceeds of such rights or security; or 

  

	 	5.1.2	without the prior written consent of the Trustee: 

  

	 	(a)	exercise in respect of any amount paid by the Guarantor hereunder any right of indemnity, subrogation, contribution or any other right or remedy which it may have in
respect thereof; or 

  

	 	(b)	claim payment of any other monies for the time being due to the Guarantor or to which it may become entitled or exercise or enforce or benefit from any other right,
remedy or security in respect thereof; or 

  

 134 









	 	(c)	prove in a liquidation of any Obligor or the Builder in competition with the Trustee for any monies owing to the Guarantor by any other Obligor or the Builder on any
account whatsoever, 

 PROVIDED ALWAYS that if the Guarantor, in breach of this Clause, receives or
recovers any monies pursuant to any such exercise, claim or proof, such monies shall be held by the Guarantor as trustee upon trust for the Trustee to apply the same as if they were monies received or recovered by the Trustee under this Deed.

  

	6	Payments 

  

	 	6.1	Each payment to be made by the Guarantor hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds in the currency in which such payment is due without set-off,
counterclaim, deduction or retention of any kind by payment to such account of the Trustee with such bank or financial institution as the Trustee may from time to time notify to the Guarantor in writing. 

 If the Guarantor is required by law to make such a payment subject to the deduction or withholding of Taxes, in which case the sum payable
by the Guarantor in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Trustee receives and retains (free from any
liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made. 
  

	 	6.2	Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 6.1, if any Lender or the Agent or the Trustee on the Lender’s behalf is required to make any payment on account of
Tax (not being a tax imposed on the net income of its Office by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or in which its Office is located or any other tax existing and applicable on the date of this Deed under the laws of any jurisdiction) on
or in relation to any sum received or receivable hereunder by such Lender or the Agent or the Trustee on the Lender’s behalf (including, without limitation, any sum received or receivable under this Clause 6) or any liability in respect of any
such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against such Lender or the Agent or the Trustee on the Lender’s behalf, the Guarantor shall, upon demand of the Agent, indemnify such Lender or the Agent or the Trustee against such payment
or liability, together with any interest, penalties and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith, other than interest, penalties, and expenses: 

  

	 	6.2.1	 that accrue during any periods of time beginning on the thirty first (31st) day (or such longer period as any Lender may reasonably require) following the day on which the Lender or the
Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, has actual knowledge of the imposition or assertion of such Taxes or other Taxes; or 


  

	 	6.2.2	that are otherwise imposed or asserted on account of the bad faith or wilful neglect of such Lender or the Agent or the Trustee. 

  

 135 








 If any Lender proposes to make a claim under the provisions of this Clause 6.2 it shall
certify to the Guarantor in reasonable detail within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as any Lender may reasonably require) after becoming aware of the event by reason of which it is entitled to make its claim or claims the basis of its
claim or claims, such certificate to be conclusive, save for manifest error. 
 Without affecting the Guarantor’s
obligations under Clause 6.1 and in consultation with the Agent, the affected Lender will then take all such reasonable steps as may be open to it to mitigate the effect of the event (for example (if then possible) by changing its Office or
transferring some or all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement to another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Hermes Agent and the Agent). The reasonable costs of mitigating the effect of
any such change shall be borne by the Guarantor save where such costs are of an internal administrative nature and are not incurred in dealings by any Lender with third parties. 
  

	 	6.3	No person to which a Lender assigns part or all of its interest under this Deed pursuant to clause 17 of the Loan Agreement shall be entitled to receive any greater
increase in payment under Clause 6.1 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned unless such assignment shall have been made at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment
did not exist and were not reasonably anticipated or reasonably foreseeable. 

  

	 	6.4	The certificate of the Trustee from time to time as to sums owed by any Obligor or the Builder under the Security Documents and sums owed by the Guarantor hereunder
shall, save for manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes and prima facie evidence of the existence and extent of such debts in any legal action or proceedings arising in connection herewith. 

  

	 	6.5	The provisions of Clause 7.3 of the Loan Agreement shall apply hereto (mutatis mutandis) as if set out in full herein. 

  

	7	Enforcement 

  

	 	7.1	The Trustee shall not be obliged before taking steps to enforce this Deed to take any action whatsoever against any of the Obligors, the Builder or Hermes under the
Loan Agreement or any other Security Documents to which they are a party and the Guarantor hereby waives all such formalities or rights to which it would otherwise be entitled or which the Trustee would otherwise first be required to satisfy or
fulfil before proceeding or making demand against the Guarantor hereunder provided that the Trustee shall not be entitled to enforce its rights under this Deed otherwise than in circumstances which would constitute an Event of Default.
