 This Clause 11.1 is for the benefit of the Lenders, the
Agent, the Security Agent and the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent 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. 
  

	 	11.2	None of the Borrower, the Guarantors, 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 Guarantors, 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 Guarantors’, 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 Guarantors, the Shareholder and/or the Manager of all process or other documents connected with proceedings in the English courts which relate to this Deed. 

  

	 	11.3	For the purpose of securing its obligations under Clause 11.2, the Borrower, each of the Guarantors, 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 11.2, the Agent may appoint any person (including a company controlled by or associated with the Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender) to act as the
Borrower’s, that 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 11.2. 

  

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

  

	 	11.5	The Borrower, each of the Guarantors, 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. 

  

 11 









	 	11.6	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 Guarantors , the
Shareholder and/or the Manager (as the case may be) and may be enforced without review in any other jurisdiction. 

  

	 	11.7	Nothing in this Clause shall exclude or limit any right which the Agent the Security Agent or the Lenders 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. 

  

	 	11.8	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.

subject to the provisions of Clause 2.2, Clause 2.3 and Clause 3. Each Drawing shall be repaid on its Maturity Date. However, a Term may be extended to the end of the succeeding Interest Period in respect of that Drawing by the giving of a Renewal

	 	2.1.3	None of the Agent or any other Lender shall be liable for any failure or delay on the part of any Lender in making any advance hereunder nor shall the Agent have any

	 	2.3.2	the Advance Date proposed is a Business Day within the relevant Availability Period;

	 	2.3.5	on any Advance Date not more than five (5) Drawings will be outstanding in respect of the relevant Tranche;

	 	2.3.7	no Event of Default has occurred before the relevant Advance Date and such drawing would not constitute an Event of Default; 

  

	 	2.3.8	the representations and warranties set out in Clause 9 and each of the other Security Documents are correct on the relevant Advance Date; 

  

	 	2.3.9	no written notice has been received indicating that the Lower Saxony Guarantees do not, or the relevant Lower Guarantee does not (as the case may be), validly exist
without restriction; and 

  

	 	2.3.10	it is then lawful for each of the Lenders to make available its relevant Contribution to the Drawing; 

 PROVIDED THAT the Lenders will only be obliged to comply with Clause 3.1 if, on the relevant Advance Date or on the commencement of
the relevant Interest Period, no Event of Default is continuing or would result from the conversion and the representations made by the Borrower under Clause 9 are true in all material respects. 
 Each Drawing advanced under this Clause 2.3 shall be deemed to have been advanced pro rata from Portion A and Portion B of the relevant
Tranche. 
  

 47 









	 	2.4	Break costs 

 If for any
reason a Drawing is not drawn down by the Borrower hereunder after the relevant Drawdown Notice has been given to the Agent pursuant to Clause 2.3, the Borrower will pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders such amount as the Agent may
certify as necessary to compensate the Lenders (other than any Lender whose default has caused the Drawing not to be drawn down) for any loss (including any losses under any Master Agreements) or expense on account of funds borrowed, contracted for
or utilised in order to fund its Contribution to the Drawing. Each Lender shall supply to the Agent a certificate of break costs which in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive as to the amounts due. 
  

	 	2.5	Conditions of drawdown 

 The Agent shall not be under any obligation to advance a Drawing hereunder until all the documents and evidence referred to in the relevant part of Part I of Schedule 3 are in the possession of the Agent in form and substance satisfactory
to the Agent. 
  

	 	2.6	Several obligations of the Lenders 

 The obligations and rights of each Lender hereunder are several and if for any reason the Borrower receives an amount greater than the aggregate of the Contributions to the Drawing, the Borrower forthwith
upon the demand of the Agent shall pay to the Agent (for the account of those Lenders whose Contributions were exceeded) the amount certified by the Agent as representing the excess of the amount paid to the Borrower over the due and proper amount
of the Contributions of the Lenders actually received by the Agent. 
  

	 	2.7	Lender’s failure to perform 

 Subject to Clause 2.1.3, the failure by a Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower towards any other party hereto nor shall any such other party be liable for the failure by such Lender to
perform its obligations hereunder. 
  

	 	2.8	Fulfilment of conditions after drawdown 

 If the Lenders, acting unanimously, decide (or the Agent in accordance with Clause 20 decides) to permit the advance of a Drawing to the Borrower hereunder without the Agent having received all of the
documents or evidence referred to in the relevant part or parts of Part I of Schedule 3, the Borrower will nevertheless deliver the remaining documents or evidence to the Agent within such period as the Agent may stipulate and the advance of the
Drawing shall not be construed as a waiver of the Agent’s right to receive the documents or evidence as aforesaid nor shall this provision impose on the Agent or the Lenders any obligation to permit the advance of the Drawing in the absence of
any of such documents or evidence. 
  

	 	2.9	Conditions subsequent 

 The Borrower undertakes to deliver or to cause to be delivered to the Agent the additional documents and other evidence listed in Part II of Schedule 3.

selection of Dollars as the currency in which a Drawing is denominated is subject to the conditions of, and the observance of the restrictions to, conversion set out in Clause 3.3. The Borrower may in accordance with this Clause 3.1 select Dollars
as the currency in which it wishes a Drawing to be denominated. A selection shall be made either by the Borrower: 
  

	 	3.1.1	specifying the Dollar amount to be advanced in the Drawdown Notice relating to the relevant Drawing; or 

  

 48 









	 	3.1.2	giving 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 the next
Interest Period relating to the Drawing pursuant to Clause 5.2. 

  

	 	3.2	Conversion 

 If the
Borrower selects Dollars as the currency in which a Drawing is to be made in accordance with Clause 3.1, the Drawing shall be converted from euro into Dollars on, and with effect from, the beginning of the relevant Interest Period. The Drawing shall
remain denominated in Dollars until its Maturity Date and no further Drawings of the relevant Tranche may be made in euro. Further, the Maturity Date of any euro Drawing of the relevant Tranche shall be the next Interest Payment Date in respect of
that Drawing (notwithstanding the Maturity Date previously selected for the Drawing), on which date the Drawing shall be repaid in accordance with Clause 4.1. 
  

	 	3.3	Conditions and restrictions to conversion 

 The conversion into and denomination of any Drawing in Dollars shall be subject to Clause 2.3 and the following: 
  

	 	3.3.1	any Drawing up to the relevant Maximum Tranche Amount is available for conversion; 

  

	 	3.3.2	no Drawing may at any time be converted into and/or denominated in more than one (1) currency and any Drawdown Notice or other written instruction from the
Borrower requesting otherwise shall be of no effect; 

  

	 	3.3.3	a Drawing may only be converted into and denominated in Dollars if deposits in Dollars for the amount of the Drawing and for the Interest Period selected are available
to the Lenders in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business on the relevant date. If such deposits are not so available to the Lenders, the Drawing in question shall be advanced and denominated or remain denominated (as the case
may be) in euro; 

  

	 	3.3.4	the Agent being in possession of evidence in form and substance satisfactory to it that from the relevant first Currency Conversion Date the sums insured under the
Insurances of the relevant Vessel will be denominated in Dollars in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Mortgage; and 

  

	 	3.3.5	the Agent having been able to arrange for the sums insured under the mortgagee interest insurance and the mortgagee interest insurance for pollution risks (each as more
particularly described in the relevant Mortgage) to be in Dollars from the relevant first Currency Conversion Date. 

  

	 	3.4	Repayment in same currency 

 During each Interest Period in respect of a Dollar Drawing, the obligation of the Borrower to repay that Drawing in accordance with Clause 4.1 or Clause 4.5 and to pay interest in respect of that Drawing shall be an obligation to repay the
Drawing and to pay interest (and any default interest pursuant to Clause 5.7) in respect of the Drawing in Dollars. 
  

 49 









	 	3.5	Exercise of currency option 

 All losses, damages, expenses, profits or currency risks arising from the exercise of the currency option contained in this Clause 3 shall be for the account of the Borrower. 
  

	 	3.6	No prepayment 

 The
conversion of a euro Drawing into Dollars or the operation of this Clause 3 shall not constitute or be construed as a prepayment pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4. 
  


	 	3.7	No discharge 

 Notwithstanding the drawdown of a euro Drawing or the subsequent conversion of the relevant euro Drawing into Dollars it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the Security Documents shall remain in full force and
effect and that they shall stand as security for the Facility in whatever currency or currencies it is for the time being denominated. 
  

	4	Repayment, Reduction, Cancellation and Prepayment of the Facility 

  

	 	4.1	Repayment 

 The Borrower
shall repay each Drawing on its Maturity Date in the currency in which it was made available. If a Drawing (the “new Drawing”) is to be made on a day on which another Drawing (the “maturing Drawing”) is due to be
repaid then, subject to the terms of this Agreement: 
  

	 	4.1.1	the maturing Drawing shall be deemed to have been repaid on its Maturity Date either in whole (if the new Drawing is equal to or greater than the maturing Drawing) or
in part (if the new Drawing is less than the maturing Drawing); and 

  

	 	4.1.2	to the extent that the maturing Drawing is so deemed to have been repaid, the principal amount of the new Drawing to be made on such date shall be deemed to have been
credited to the account of the Borrower by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Lenders shall only be obliged to make available to the Borrower pursuant to Clause 2.3 a principal amount equal to
the amount by which the new Drawing exceeds the maturing Drawing. 

 On a Final Maturity Date, all relevant
outstanding Drawings and other sums (if any) then owing under this Agreement shall in any event be repaid or paid in full. 
  

	 	4.2	Scheduled reductions of Commitments to a Tranche 

  

	 	4.2.1	Subject to the second paragraph of this Clause 4.2.1, on each of the Reduction Dates the relevant Maximum Tranche Amount as at the date of the Third Supplemental Deed
shall be reduced by the relevant amount set out in the fifth column (Revised Reductions) of the relevant table in Schedule 8, as such Revised Reductions are reduced to reflect any relevant prepayments. 

  

 50 








 If the Borrower exercises the currency option contained in Clause 3 after the first
Reduction Date in respect of a Tranche the amounts of the reductions to be made in Dollars on the Reduction Dates in respect of that Tranche falling after the first Currency Conversion Date in respect of that Tranche shall be calculated on the first
of such Reduction Dates by dividing the relevant Maximum Tranche Amount as at the relevant Reduction Date by the number of one thirtieths (1/30ths) of the Tranche which have not been reduced prior to that Reduction Date. A reduction schedule
setting out the amounts of the reductions to be made in Dollars on the Reduction Dates remaining after the first Currency Conversion Date in respect of that Tranche shall be agreed between the Agent and the Borrower on the first Currency Conversion
Date in respect of that Tranche and shall from such date be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. Any reduction to be made on a Reduction Date in respect of a Tranche falling on or prior to the first Currency Conversion Date in respect of that
Tranche shall be made in euro. 
 The Borrower shall pay to the Agent in euro or in Dollars (as the case may be) all accrued
interest on the reduction amount to that Reduction Date. 
 Amounts repaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Clause 4.2.1 shall
not be available for reborrowing. 
  

	 	4.2.2	Without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement, the Commitments to a Tranche shall be reduced to zero on the relevant Final Maturity Date.


  

	 	4.3	Sale or Total Loss of a Vessel: mandatory cancellation 

 If at any time during the Security Period a Vessel is sold or is or becomes a Total Loss, the Commitments to the relevant Tranche shall be reduced to zero on the date on which the proceeds of such sale or
Total Loss are made available. 
  

	 	4.4	Amounts payable on prepayment 

 Any prepayment of a Drawing or a Tranche under this Clause 4 shall be made together with: 
  

	 	4.4.1	accrued interest on the amount to be prepaid to the date of such prepayment (calculated in respect of any period during which a Substitute Basis has applied by virtue
of Clause 6.3, at the rate per annum more particularly described in Clause 6.2); 

  

	 	4.4.2	any additional amounts payable under Clause 7.2 and Clause 8.1; 

  

	 	4.4.3	costs certified by the Agent as necessary to compensate the Lenders for the cost of repaying fixed deposits borrowed to fund any part of any Drawing or the Tranche
which is prepaid before the relevant Maturity Date or the fixed term by reference to which the relevant Interest Rate has been ascertained; and 

  

	 	4.4.4	all other sums payable by the Borrower to the relevant Lender or the German State of Lower Saxony under this Agreement including, without limitation, any accrued
commitment fee payable under Clause 14.1 and any accrued Lower Saxony Guarantee fee payable under Clause 14.3. 

  

 51 









	 	4.5	Notice of prepayment 

 No
voluntary prepayment of a Drawing may be effected under this Clause 4 unless the Borrower shall have given the Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of its intention to make such prepayment. Every notice of prepayment shall be
effective only on actual receipt by the Agent, shall be irrevocable, shall specify the amount to be prepaid and shall oblige the Borrower to make such prepayment on the date specified. Unless and to the extent that the Commitments to a Tranche are
cancelled or reduced on or with effect from the date of any such prepayment, amounts prepaid may be re-drawn under this Agreement. The Borrower may not prepay any Drawing or any part thereof save as expressly provided in this Agreement. 

The Drawing(s) to be wholly or partially prepaid pursuant to Clause 4.2.1 and Clause 4.8 shall be selected by the Borrower by not fewer
than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Agent, which shall be irrevocable. The Borrower shall not be permitted to make any selection pursuant to this Clause which would result in partial prepayment of more than one (1) Drawing. If
the Borrower fails to give notice to the Agent selecting the Drawing(s) to be prepaid, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected to prepay first any Drawings having an Interest Period ending on the Reduction Date in question. If there are no
such Drawings or the aggregate amount of the Drawing(s) having an Interest Period ending on the Reduction Date in question either exceeds or falls short of the amount required to be prepaid, the Borrower shall prepay, in full or in part, the
Drawing(s) selected by the Agent. 
  

	 	4.6	Voluntary cancellation of Commitments to a Tranche 

 The Borrower may at any time during an Availability Period by notice to the Agent (effective only on actual receipt) cancel with effect from a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the
receipt by the Agent of such notice the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of ten million euro (EUR10,000,000) or ten million Dollars (USD10,000,000) (as the case may be) or a whole multiple thereof but not more than the Available Commitments
of all of the Lenders to the relevant Tranche as at such date) of the total of the Available Commitments to the relevant Tranche as at such date of all the Lenders. Any such notice of cancellation, once given, shall be irrevocable and upon such
cancellation taking effect the Commitment of each of the Lenders to the relevant Tranche shall be permanently reduced proportionately and the Borrower shall on the date designated in its notice prepay such amount of the outstanding Drawings as will
ensure that immediately thereafter the aggregate amount of the Drawings will not exceed the Commitments to the relevant Tranche as so reduced by virtue of the Borrower’s cancellation. 
  

	 	4.7	Additional partial cancellation 

 The Borrower may also at any time during an Availability Period by notice to the Agent (effective only on actual receipt) cancel with effect from a date not less than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Agent of such notice the
whole but not part only, but without prejudice to its obligations under Clause 7.2 and Clause 8.1, of the Commitment to the relevant Tranche of any Lender to which the Borrower shall have become obliged to pay additional amounts under
Clause 7.2 or Clause 8.1. Upon any notice of such prepayment being given, the Commitment of the relevant Lender to the relevant Tranche shall be reduced to zero and the Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the Contribution of such Lender to the
relevant Tranche on such date. 
  

 52 








  

	 	4.8	Prepayment during Term 

 The Borrower may at any time by notice to the Agent (effective only on actual receipt) prepay the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of ten million euro (EUR10,000,000) or ten million Dollars (USD10,000,000) (as the case may be) or
such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Agent) of any Drawing prior to its Maturity Date on not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice (whether or not any part of the Commitment to the relevant Tranche is also being cancelled on such date
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement) and the Borrower shall when making such prepayment, make such prepayment together with any amounts as referred to in Clause 4.4. 
  

	 	4.9	Mandatory cancellation in case of illegality 

 If any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, any law, regulation or treaty shall make it unlawful in any jurisdiction applicable to any of the Lenders for that Lender to make available or
maintain its Contribution to a Tranche or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, the Agent may, by notice thereof to the Borrower, declare that the relevant Lender’s obligations shall be terminated forthwith whereupon (if any
of the relevant Tranche has then been advanced) the Borrower shall prepay forthwith to the relevant Lender its Contribution to the Tranche together with interest thereon to the date of such prepayment and all other amounts due to such Lender under
Clause 4.4 and under the Security Documents (or, if permitted by the relevant law, regulation or treaty, at the end of the then current Interest Period). 
 A Lender affected by any provision of this Clause 4.9 shall promptly inform the Agent after becoming aware of the relevant change 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 this Clause 4.9 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 (and if then possible and subject to the prior consent of the German State of Lower Saxony) by changing its Lending Branch 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. 
  

	 	4.10	Voluntary cancellation following imposition of Substitute Basis 

 The Borrower may notify the Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of a certificate from the Agent of a Substitute Basis under Clause 6.3 whether or not it wishes to cancel a Tranche or
the relevant part thereof, in which event the Borrower shall forthwith cancel the Tranche or such relevant part thereof and prepay such amount of the outstanding Drawings as will ensure that immediately thereafter the aggregate of the amount of the
Drawings will not exceed the Commitments to the Tranche or relevant part thereof as so reduced by virtue of the Borrower’s cancellation. 
  

	 	4.11	Cancellation in case of Total Loss of a Vessel 

 If a Vessel is or becomes a Total Loss, then the Borrower will, within thirty (30) days thereof or, if the Agent is satisfied in its sole discretion that the Total Loss is adequately covered by the
Insurances and that the relevant insurance proceeds will be payable to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders within one hundred and fifty (150) days thereof, by no later than the date which is one hundred and fifty (150) days after the date of the
event giving rise to such Total Loss cancel and prepay the relevant Tranche in accordance with Clause 4.3 and Clause 13.1. 
  

 53 








 For the purposes of this Clause 4.11, a Total Loss shall be deemed to have occurred:

  

	 	4.11.1	if it consists of an actual loss, at noon Greenwich Mean Time on the actual date of loss or, if that is not known, on the date on which the Vessel was last heard of;


  

	 	4.11.2	if it consists of a Compulsory Acquisition, at noon Greenwich Mean Time on the date on which the requisition is expressed to take effect by the person requisitioning
the Vessel; or 

  

	 	4.11.3	if it consists of a constructive or compromised or arranged or agreed total loss or damage to the Vessel rendering repair impracticable or uneconomical or rendering the
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. 

  


	 	4.12	Cancellation in case of sale of a Vessel

	 	5.3	No notice and unavailability 

 If the Borrower fails to select an Interest Period in accordance with Clause 5.2 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

	 	5.4	Extension and shortening of Interest Periods 

  

	 	5.4.1	If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, the Interest Period shall be extended until the next following Business Day unless the
next following Business Day falls in the next calendar month in which case the Interest Period will be shortened to expire on the preceding Business Day. 

  

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

  

	 	5.5	Interest Rate 

 Subject to
Clause 5.7 and Clause 6, the rate of interest applicable to a Drawing during an Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of EURIBOR or LIBOR (as the case may be), the Applicable Margin and Mandatory Costs. 
  

 55 









	 	5.6	Bank basis 

 Interest,
commitment fee and any other payments hereunder or under the commitment letter referred to in Clause 14.2 or any other fee letter of an annual nature shall accrue from day to day and be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty

	 	5.7	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, on demand 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 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 (a) the Applicable Margin, Mandatory Costs and two per cent (2%) and (b) the greater of (i) 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 euro or Dollars (as the case
may be) in successive periods of one (1) month (or for such shorter period as the Agent may in its sole discretion select) in the relevant interbank eurocurrency market in an amount equivalent to or comparable with its relevant 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 euro or Dollars (as the case may be) in successive periods of one (1) month (or for such shorter period as the
Agent may in its sole discretion select) in the relevant interbank eurocurrency market in an amount equivalent to such sum, as at approximately 11.00 a.m. Brussels time (in the case of euro) and as at approximately 11.00 a.m. London time (in the
case of Dollars) on any relevant day and (ii) 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 relevant
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 EURIBOR or LIBOR (as the case may be)
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 to a Tranche for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: 
  

	 	6.2.1	the Applicable Margin; 

  

 56 









	 	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; and 

  

	 	6.2.3	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s relevant Contribution. 

 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 relevant Tranche) that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the London Interbank 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.

a view to returning to the normal provisions of this Agreement.

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 Agent, the Lenders or the Lower Saxony
Guarantee 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. 

  

	 	7.2.2	Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 7.2.1, if any Lender or the Agent on its behalf, the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent is required to make any

than interest penalties and expenses that are otherwise imposed or asserted on account of the bad faith or wilful neglect of such Lender or the Agent on its behalf, the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent. If any Lender, the Agent or the Lower
Saxony Guarantee Agent 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, the Agent or the Lower Saxony
Guarantee Agent 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.


  

	 	7.3	Production of receipts for Taxes 

 If the Borrower makes any payment hereunder in respect of which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full amount to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time

authority of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from such payment. 
  

 58 








 If an additional payment is made under Clause 7.2.2 and any Lender or the Agent on its
behalf, the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent 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 on its behalf, the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower such amount as such
Lender or the Agent on its behalf, the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent shall in its 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, the
Agent and the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent to arrange their respective tax affairs in whatever manner they think fit.

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

 the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lower Saxony Guarantee 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, the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent may in the ordinary

the Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, notify the Borrower of the change or request and its possible results. Without affecting the Borrower’s obligations under Clause 8.1.1 and in consultation with the Agent, the

	 	10.10.2	carry on any other business which is substantial in relation to its business as presently conducted 

 if to do the same would imperil the security created by any of the Security Documents or affect the ability of any Obligor duly to perform
its obligations under any Security Document to which it is or may be a party from time to time, in each case in the opinion of the Agent and the German State of Lower Saxony, PROVIDED THAT any new leisure or hospitality venture embarked upon
by any member of the NCLC Group (other than the Borrower) shall not constitute a substantial change in its business and PROVIDED FURTHER THAT any change of or discontinuation in the business activities of any Obligor in accordance with the
Apollo-Related Transactions shall be permitted. 
  

	 	10.11	Mergers 

 Except with the
prior consent of the Majority Lenders and the German State of Lower Saxony, the Borrower will not enter into any amalgamation, restructure, substantial reorganisation, merger, de-merger or consolidation or anything analogous to the foregoing nor

 However, the prior consent of the Majority Lenders shall not be required in respect of any consolidation, reorganisation or restructure

 70 








 
(b) involving wholly owned (whether directly or indirectly) Subsidiaries of the Borrower only which does not imperil the security created by any of the Security Documents or the Lower Saxony
Guarantees or affect the ability of any Obligor duly to perform any of its obligations under any Security Document to which it is or may be a party at any time, PROVIDED THAT, except in relation to the Apollo-Related Transactions, the
Borrower has first consulted with the Agent with regard to the proposed consolidation, reorganisation or restructure and provides evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the Borrower will be in compliance with the financial undertakings contained in
Clause 10.3 after any such reorganisation or restructure SUBJECT TO: 
  

	 	10.11.1	Clause 9.2.20; and 

  

	 	10.11.2	the cash flows from which the Outstanding Indebtedness will be repaid remaining comparable as to amount (relative to the amount of the Outstanding Indebtedness) and
accessibility for the Borrower to the cash flows as at the Signing Date, in the sole discretion of the Agent. 

 For the avoidance of doubt, if the Agent and the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent are satisfied the Borrower will be in compliance with the financial undertakings contained in Clause 10.3 after the acquisition by a member of the NCLC Group of
any shares in any company or corporation, such acquisition shall not in itself constitute a merger or consolidation with such company or corporation requiring the consent of the Majority Lenders and the German State of Lower Saxony under this Clause
10.11. 
  

	 	10.12	Maintenance of status and franchises 

 The Borrower will do all such things as are necessary to maintain its corporate existence in good standing and will ensure that it has the right and is duly qualified to conduct its business as it is

shareholder of the Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the Borrower shall not make any repayments of principal, payments of interest or of any other costs, fees, expenses or liabilities arising from or representing indebtedness with
any other Obligor. 
  

 71 









	 	10.15	Guarantees 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause 10.5 of each of the Guarantees, save as contemplated by this Agreement or notified by the Borrower to the Agent prior to the Second Restatement Date, the Borrower will procure that none of
the owners or prospective owners of mortgaged vessels in the NCLC Fleet will issue or enter into any guarantee or indemnity or otherwise become directly or contingently liable for the obligations of any other person, firm or corporation, other than:

  

	 	10.15.1	in the ordinary course of its business as owner of its vessel; and 

  

	 	10.15.2	any guarantee of the obligations of any member of the NCLC Group to one or more providers of credit card processing services to the NCLC Group and/or any provider of a

	 	10.16	Further assurance 

 The
Borrower will, from time to time on being required to do so by the Agent, do or procure the doing of all such acts and/or execute or procure the execution of all such documents in a form satisfactory to the Agent as the Agent or the Lower Saxony

powers and remedies conferred upon the Agent, the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent and/or the Lenders in any such Transaction Document or the Lower Saxony Guarantees.

unless reasonably required by the Agent, physical inspection and on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for cash at arm’s length on normal commercial terms as between a willing buyer and a willing seller without taking into account the
benefit of any charterparty or other engagement concerning the Vessel). The first such valuations shall be obtained on or about thirty (30) days prior to the Delivery Date in respect of a Vessel and thereafter they shall be obtained within
fifteen (15) days of a request from the Agent (but at intervals no more frequently than annually at the Borrower’s expense unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). The average of the valuations shall constitute the value
of the Vessel for the purposes of this Clause 10.17. 

  

	 	10.17.2	The Borrower shall procure that forthwith upon the issuance of any valuation obtained pursuant to this Clause 10.17 a copy thereof is sent directly to the Agent for

 If at
any time the value of the Vessels as assessed in accordance with the provisions of Clause 10.17 is: 
  

	 	10.18.1 	less than one hundred and five per cent (105%) of the amount of the aggregate of the Available Commitments and the Contributions to the Facility during the period
commencing on the first Delivery Date and ending twenty four (24) months after the second Delivery Date; and 

  

	 	10.18.2 	thereafter, is less than one hundred and twenty per cent (120%) of the amount of the aggregate of the Available Commitments and the Contributions to the Facility,


 then the Borrower shall, upon notice from the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days either: 
  

	 	(a)	provide the Agent with additional security acceptable to the Majority Lenders such that the security value of the Vessels and any additional security provided to the
Agent hereunder (at valuations reasonably estimated by the Agent from time to time) is at least one hundred and five per cent (105%) or one hundred and twenty per cent (120%) (as the case may be) of the aggregate of the Available Commitments and the
Contributions to the Facility; or 

  

	 	(b)	reduce the Available Commitments by such an amount that the value of the security is at least one hundred and five per cent (105%) or one hundred and twenty per cent
(120%) (as the case may be) of the amount of the aggregate of the Available Commitments and the Contributions to the Facility. 

  

	 	10.19	Financial year end

Borrower shall not change its financial year end. 
  

	 	10.20	Maintenance and insurance

comprehensively insures, for its full reinstatement cost all of its property which is of an insurable nature in such name as the Agent shall in writing approve and on such terms, for such amounts and of such types as would be effected by prudent
companies carrying on business similar to the Borrower or its Subsidiary (as the case may be). In particular but without limitation, the Borrower shall procure that each of the Owners maintains and insures its Vessel in accordance with the
provisions of the relevant Mortgage. 
  

	 	10.21	Lower Saxony Guarantees 

 The Lenders have claims arising from this Agreement guaranteed by the German State of Lower Saxony (represented by PwC Deutsche Revision) by way of the Lower Saxony Guarantees. The unrestricted existence of the relevant Lower Saxony
Guarantee is a condition precedent to drawdown of the relevant Tranche as referred to in Clause 2.3.8 and to the maintenance of the Facility in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 The terms and conditions of the Lower Saxony Guarantees are incorporated herein and in so far as they impose terms, conditions and/or
obligations on the Agent and/or the Lower Saxony Guarantee 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. Further in

  

 73 








 
the event of any conflict between the terms of the Lower Saxony Guarantees and the terms of this Agreement the terms of the Lower Saxony Guarantees 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 Lower Saxony Guarantees. 
  

	 	10.22	Vessels 

 The Borrower
will procure that each of the Vessels is traded within the NCLC Fleet from her Delivery Date and throughout the remainder of the Security Period. 
  

	 	10.23	Cash sweep

Encumbrances and rights of set off other than the Account Charge. 

  

	 	10.23.2	Subject to Clause 10.23.3 and no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing, any Total Cash Sweep Amount shall be applied on the relevant Cash Sweep Payment
Date in prepayment, reduction and/or cancellation of the Cash Sweep Credit Facilities. The payment to be made under each Cash Sweep Credit Facility shall be calculated on the basis of the Accounts for the twelve (12) month period ending on the
relevant Cash Sweep Determination Date and be applied to each Cash Sweep Credit Facility on a pro rata basis based on each Cash Sweep Credit Facility’s remaining outstanding Delayed Principal Amount (as defined in this Agreement in respect of
the Facility and as defined in the relevant facility agreement in respect of each of the other Cash Sweep Credit Facilities) as of the Cash Sweep Payment Date. Each such outstanding Delayed Principal Amount, to the extent it is not already
denominated in Dollars, shall be converted into Dollars on the date falling ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant Cash Sweep Payment Date at the rate which appears on the Reuters Page ECB37 at 1.30 p.m. London time on that date, for the
purposes of such calculation. For the avoidance of doubt, once there is no longer any remaining outstanding Delayed Principal Amount under any of the Cash Sweep Facilities, no further payments under this Clause 10.23 shall be required.


  

	 	10.23.3	The Borrower shall procure that any Total Cash Sweep Amount on the Cash Sweep Determination Dates of 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2010 shall be paid into the Cash
Sweep Bank Account on the following 31 March. On 31 March 2011 the Borrower shall procure that the Total Cash Sweep Amount on the Cash Sweep Determination Dates of 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2010 held in the Cash Sweep Bank Account shall be
applied in accordance with Clause 10.23.2 as if it were a single Total Cash Sweep Amount existing on 31 December 2010.

for any purpose agreed by the Majority Cash Sweep Lenders. Save as provided in this Clause 10.23.4, no sum may be withdrawn from the Cash Sweep Bank Account prior to 31 March 2011. Any accumulated interest in the Cash Sweep Bank Account remaining
after 31 March 2011 shall be remitted to the Borrower.

Payment Date in prepayment, reduction and/or cancellation of the Cash Sweep Credit Facilities. The payment to be made under each Cash Sweep Credit Facility shall be applied to each Cash Sweep Credit Facility on a pro rata basis based on each Cash
Sweep Credit Facility’s remaining outstanding Delayed Principal Amount (as defined in this Agreement in respect of the Facility and as defined in the relevant facility agreement in respect of each of the other Cash Sweep Credit Facilities) as
of the Special Liquidity Sources Payment Date. Each such outstanding Delayed Principal Amount, to the extent it is not already denominated in Dollars, shall be converted into Dollars on the date falling ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant
Special Liquidity Sources Payment Date at the rate which appears on the Reuters Page ECB37 at 1.30 p.m. London time on that date, for the purposes of such calculation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, payment under this Clause 10.24.1 shall
only be required to the extent such payment does not reduce Liquidity to a level below [*]. 

  

	 	10.24.2	The Relevant Special Liquidity Sources Amount shall be applied to the Facility in accordance with Clause 4.15. 

  

	 	10.24.3	It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the provisions of this Clause 10.24 and Clause 4.15 may not be amended without the consent of the Cash Sweep Lenders.

 88 









	 	18.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer 

  

	 	18.2.1	The consent of the Agent, the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent and the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is
to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. The said consents of the Agent and the Borrower may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in the case of the Borrower, shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


 Each Lender may, however, without the prior approval of the Agent, the Lower Saxony Guarantee 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 the German State of Lower Saxony or its nominee. 
  

	 	18.2.2	An assignment will only be effective on: 

  

	 	(a)	receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations
to the Agent and the other Lenders as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and 

  

	 	(b)	performance by the Agent of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to
a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

	 	18.2.4	If: 

  

	 	(a)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Security Documents and the Lower Saxony Guarantees or changes its Lending Branch; and


  

	 	(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender
acting through its new Lending Branch under Clause 7, 

 then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new
Lending Branch is only entitled to receive payment under that Clause to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Lending Branch would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. 

 

	 	18.3	Assignment or transfer fee 

 The Existing Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of three thousand Dollars (USD3,000).

	 	(b)	the financial condition of the Borrower or the German State of Lower Saxony; 

  

	 	(c)	the performance and observance by any Obligor or the German State of Lower Saxony of its obligations under the Security Documents, the Lower Saxony Guarantees or any
other documents; or 

  

	 	(d)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Security Document, either Lower Saxony Guarantee or any other document,


 and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 
  

	 	18.4.2	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the Agent and the other Lenders that it: 

  

	 	(a)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and the German State of
Lower Saxony and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Security Document or either Lower Saxony
Guarantee; and 

  

	 	(b)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and the German State of Lower Saxony and its related entities whilst any
amount is or may be outstanding under the Security Documents or the Lower Saxony Guarantees or any Commitment is in force. 

  

	 	18.4.3	Nothing in any Security Document or either Lower Saxony Guarantee obliges an Existing Lender to: 

  

	 	(a)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 18; or 

  

	 	(b)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Security Documents,
the Lower Saxony Guarantees or otherwise. 

  

	 	18.5	Procedure for transfer 

  

	 	18.5.1	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 18.2, a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 18.5.3 when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer

terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate. 

  

 90 









	 	18.5.2	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with
all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender. 

  

	 	18.5.3	On the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(a)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Security Documents and the Lower
Saxony Guarantees each of the Borrower and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Security Documents and the Lower Saxony Guarantees and their respective rights against one another shall be
cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”); 

  

	 	(b)	each of the Borrower and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights
and Obligations only insofar as the Borrower and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and the Existing Lender; 

  

	 	(c)	the Agent, the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they
would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent and the Existing
Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement and/or the Lower Saxony Guarantees; and

	 	18.7.3	to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation, 

 any information about any Obligor, the Transaction Documents and the Lower Saxony Guarantees as that Lender shall consider appropriate if, in
relation to Clauses 18.7.1 and 18.7.2, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking. In the case of the German State of Lower Saxony and/or the Federal Republic of Germany and/or the European Union

Clause 12.2; 

  

	 	(d)	any other matter in respect of which this Agreement expressly provides that the consent of the Majority Lenders shall be required. 

  

	 	20.2.3	Any determination of the Lenders shall be ascertained by the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent (as the case may be) either: 

  

	 	(a)	by means of a telefax sent by the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent (as the case may be) to each of the Lenders in identical terms on the proposal or matter in

response of (or to give any notification to) any other Lender who has yet to reply to the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent (as the case may be).

given by the relevant Lenders to the Agent or the Lower Saxony Guarantee Agent (as the case may be) specifying the date, being not fewer than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice, on which the appointment of the successor Agent

	 	24.1.2	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 24.1 is for the benefit of the Lenders and
the Agent 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. 
  

	 	24.2	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. 

  

	 	24.3	For the purpose of securing its obligations under Clause 24.2, the Borrower irrevocably agrees that, if it for any reason fails to appoint a process agent within the

 Schedule 7 
 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 Borrower USD1,000,000,000
as payment for newly-issued ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) in the capital of the Borrower, 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 Borrower as of the Closing. 

  

	 	1.2	On the Jade Transfer Date (i) NCL America Holdings will transfer the Jade Assets to the Shareholder (or one of the Shareholder’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) the Shareholder (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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower and the Investors have stated their mutual intention that, following the Closing, Star and the Borrower 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 Borrower 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. 

  

	 	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 Borrower issue to the Investors additional Ordinary Shares. 

  

 117 









	 	1.6	If the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement upon the Closing are consummated, at the Closing (as described in clause 1.1 of this Schedule), the
Borrower shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to each Person who is the payee of any outstanding Borrower 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
Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower and Investor I that it is terminating the NCLA Undertakings. Following receipt by the Borrower 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). 
  

	 	3.3	Borrower 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 Borrower may give notice to Star (the “Borrower Termination Election”) that it is terminating the NCLA Undertakings. Following receipt by Star of the Borrower 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 the Shareholder (or one of its existing or newly-formed subsidiaries), which transfer shall be
accomplished through liquidations to the extent necessary and the Shareholder (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

  

 118 








 
connection with such transfer from the US flag to the Bahamas flag (such transactions together the “America Transfer”) (c) the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower and Investor I with the Star Termination Election, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Borrower and Star will mutually agree in writing
that the Borrower shall continue to operate and manage the NCLA Business (the “NCLA Continuation Agreement”), in which case (i) Star’s obligations to reimburse the Borrower for the NCLA Cash Losses shall terminate, and
Star shall not be obligated to pay for any Shut Down Costs and (ii) the Borrower 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 Borrower 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. 
 Subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall use reasonable best efforts to fund any payments to Star pursuant to the NCLA Continuation Agreement, NCLA Wind Up
Transactions or the Borrower Termination Election by either the use of funds generated internally by the Borrower or generated from the incurrence of additional Indebtedness from existing or new debt facilities. In the event that the Borrower 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 Borrower at the
Subscription Price. 
  

	 	3.5	NCL America Holdings Wind-up Determination 

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

 119 








 If none of the Borrower 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 Borrower and Star have entered into the NCLA Continuation Agreement. 
  

	4	Indenture 

 As a result of
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 Borrower and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
indenture trustee, with respect to USD250,000,000 10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2014. At Closing, pursuant to and as required by the terms of the Indenture, the Borrower will proceed with a repurchase offer for the outstanding bonds at a purchase
price in cash equal to one hundred and one per cent (101%) of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Apollo holds USD29,000,000 in principal amount of the said 10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2014.
