(f)            Section 6.2.10
of the Existing Agreement shall be amended by adding the following text after clause (b) thereof:


 


(c)            The
Borrower will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Investment
(as defined in the Secured Indenture or the Unsecured Indenture) during the Waiver Period that is not permitted by the Secured
Indenture and the Unsecured Indenture (assuming the Secured Indenture and the Unsecured Indenture are in effect at the time of
the making of such Restricted Investment, regardless of whether such indentures are actually in effect or have been amended after
the First Waiver Extension Date); provided, however, that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower
or any Subsidiary may make any Investment (as defined in the Secured Indenture or the Unsecured Indenture) pursuant to clause

that any repayment of Indebtedness under any revolving credit agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall be accompanied
by a corresponding permanent reduction in the related revolving credit commitments.


 


(g)            The
Existing Agreement shall be amended by adding Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto as Exhibit I
and Exhibit J, respectively, thereto.


 


(h)            Item
5.9(b) of Schedule II to the Existing Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the form of Schedule
I hereto.


 


SECTION 2. 
Conditions of Amendment Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date on which each of the following
conditions has been satisfied (or waived) in accordance with the terms hereof (such date, the “Amendment Effective Date”):


 


(a)            The
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or,
as to any of the Lenders, advice satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has executed this Amendment.


 


(b)            The

Royal Caribbean – Amendment


 






    3


     


    

 


in all material respects except for those representations and warranties that are
qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct, and


 


(b)            No
Default, Prepayment Event or event which (with notice or lapse of time or both) would become a Prepayment Event has occurred and

SECTION 4. Reference
to and Effect on the Existing Agreement. On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Existing
Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to
the Existing Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Agreement. The Existing Agreement, as specifically amended
by this Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver
of any right, power or remedy of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Agreement, nor constitute a waiver
of any provision of the Existing Agreement. This Amendment shall be deemed to constitute a Loan Document.


 


SECTION 5. Costs
and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration, modification and amendment of this Amendment
and the other documents to be delivered hereunder (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel for

of the Amended Agreement.


 


SECTION 6. Execution
in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier or other
electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execute,”
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document
to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative
Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability
as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided
for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided
that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to
accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures
approved by it.

Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
