case may be) and may be enforced without review in any other jurisdiction.

(6) months after the date of this Agreement and on each date falling at the end of each following consecutive six (6) month period, with the exception of the commitment fee due in respect of the last period, which shall be paid on the
Drawdown Date, or the date of receipt by the Agent of the written termination notice sent by the Borrower as described in Clause 29, whichever is the earliest. The commitment fee shall be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed divided by
three hundred and sixty (360). 
  

	 	7.1.3	For the Agent, an annual agency fee of [**] shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement and, unless this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Clause 29, on or before each anniversary date thereof until total repayment of the Loan. 

  

	 	7.1.4	For the Lenders, an amendment fee of nought point [*]. This amendment fee shall be deemed to have been earned on the date on which the Third Supplemental Deed and the
Amendment Documents have been signed by all the parties thereto but shall be payable on the date falling ninety (90) days prior to the Intended Delivery Date provided that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Clause 29 prior to that date then
the amendment fee shall be paid in full on the termination date. 

  

	8.	TAXES, INCREASED COSTS, COSTS AND RELATED CHARGES 

  

	8.1	All Taxes legally payable in France as a consequence of the signature or performance of this Agreement shall be paid by the Lenders. 


 

	8.2	All Taxes legally payable outside France (other than taxes payable by each of the Lenders on its overall net income) as a consequence of the signature or performance of
this Agreement shall be paid by the Borrower. In consequence, all payments of principal and interest, interest on late payments, compensation, costs, fees and related charges, due in connection with this Agreement shall be made without any deduction
or withholding in respect of Taxes. The Borrower therefore hereby agrees expressly that if for any reason full payment of the above amounts is not made, it will immediately pay the Lenders the sums necessary to compensate exactly the effect of the
deductions or withholdings made in respect of Taxes. If the Borrower fails to perform this obligation, the Lenders shall be entitled, in accordance with Clause 13, either not to make available the Loan or, as the case may require, to require
immediate repayment of the Loan. 

 If an additional payment is made under this Clause 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. 
  

 36 









	8.3	If after the date of this Agreement by reason of: 

  

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

  

	 	8.3.2	compliance with any request from or requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority including but without limitation the Basle Committee on
Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices 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 Commitment hereunder; or


  

	 	(b)	there is any increase in the cost to any of the Lenders of funding or maintaining all or any of the advances comprised in a class of advances formed by or including its
Commitment advanced or to be advanced by it hereunder; or 

  

	 	(c)	any of the Lenders incurs a cost as a result of its having entered into and/or its assuming or maintaining its commitment under this Agreement; or


  

	 	(d)	any of the Lenders becomes liable to make any payment on account of Tax or otherwise (other than Tax on its overall net income) on or calculated by reference to the
amount of its Commitment advanced or to be advanced hereunder and/or any sum received or receivable by it hereunder; or 

  

	 	(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 Commitment(s) hereunder) or such liability. 

A Lender affected by any provision of this Clause 8.3 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 this Clause 8.3 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 Facility 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. 

 

 37 









	8.4	The Borrower undertakes to pay to the Agent, upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses, duties and fees, including but without limitation agreed legal costs, out

into, or to be entered into, for the purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby as well as all costs and expenses, duties and fees incurred by the Lenders in connection with the registration, filing, enforcement or discharge of the said
guarantees or security agreements, including without limitation the fees and expenses of legal advisers and insurance experts, the cost of registration and discharge of security interests and the related travel and out of pocket expenses; the
Borrower further undertakes to pay to the Agent all costs, expenses, duties and fees incurred by the Lenders in connection with any variation of this Agreement and the related documents, guarantees and security agreements, any supplements thereto
and waiver given in relation thereto, in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement and/or the related guarantees and security agreements, including in each case the fees and expenses of legal advisers, and in
connection with the consultations or proceedings made necessary by the acts of, or failure to act on the part of, the Borrower. 

  

	8.5	The Borrower undertakes to pay to the Agent, upon demand, any reasonable costs necessarily incurred by the Lenders in funding the Loan in the event that the Delivery
Date is later than the Intended Delivery Date unless the Borrower has given the Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ notification of such delay in the Delivery Date. 


 

	8.6	The Borrower shall reimburse any Lender that is a member of the Steering Committee on demand on a full indemnity basis for all documented charges and expenses
reasonably incurred (including value added tax or any similar tax thereon and including the fees and expenses of legal and other advisers) by that Lender in carrying out its duties as a member of the Steering Committee on or before 31 December
2010.

forthwith upon receipt of the Second Valuation request the shipbrokers and/or shipvaluers appointed pursuant to Clauses 10.18.1 and 10.18.2 to obtain a third valuation (the “Third Valuation”) from a further independent reputable
shipbroker or shipvaluer experienced in valuing cruise ships approved by the Agent such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to the Third Valuation being made available within five (5) Business Days of the date of the

	 	10.20.2	to agree that the Agent shall take out mortgagee interest insurance on such conditions as the Agent may reasonably require and mortgagee interest insurance for
pollution risks as from time to time agreed each for an amount in the currency in which the Loan is denominated of one hundred and ten per cent. (110%) of the amount of the Loan, the Borrower having no interest or entitlement in respect of such
policies; the Borrower shall upon demand of the Agent reimburse the Agent for the costs of effecting and/or maintaining any such insurance(s) and the Agent hereby undertakes to use its reasonable endeavours to match the premium level that the

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;

	 	11.1.1	the difference (if positive), calculated by the Lenders, between the actual cost for the Lenders of the funding for the Loan and the rate of interest for the monies to
be invested by the Lenders, applied to the amounts so prepaid for the period from said prepayment until the next interest prepayment date (if prepayment does not occur on an interest payment date). Details of any such calculation shall be supplied
to the Borrower by the Lenders; and 

  

	 	11.1.2	the charges (if any) imposed on the Lenders by the French Authorities (funding or breakage costs of the French Authority in charge of monitoring the CIRR).


  

	11.2	Any prepayment of the whole of the Loan shall be made together with all other sums due under this Agreement.

	 	12.1.1	EONIA plus [**]; and 

  

	 	12.1.2	the CIRR plus [**]. 

 Such
interest will itself bear interest at the above rate if it is due for an entire year.

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 13.2.1 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 including but without limitation any amount payable by the Guarantor under the Guarantee, at the place and in

opinion of the Agent of any of the Transaction Documents. 

  

 59 








 If the Loan has already been drawn down, an Event of Default shall not have arisen if the
failure (if in the opinion of the Agent in its sole discretion it is capable of remedy) has been remedied within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of its occurrence, if the failure was known to that Obligor, or from the date the
relevant Obligor is notified by the Agent of the failure, if the failure was not known to that Obligor, unless in any such case as aforesaid the Agent in its sole discretion considers that the failure is or could reasonably be expected to become
materially prejudicial to the interests, rights or position of the Lenders; or 
  

	 	(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.

 Any
representation, warranty or statement made or repeated in, or in connection with, any Transaction Document or the Coface Insurance Policy or in any accounts, certificate, statement or opinion delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor thereunder or in

	 	13.2.4	Cross default 

  

	 	(a)	Any event of default occurs under any financial contract or financial document relating to any Financial Indebtedness of any member of the Group;

	 	(d)	Any other Financial Indebtedness of any member of the Group is not paid when due or is or becomes capable of being declared due prematurely by reason of default or any
security for the same becomes enforceable by reason of default; 

 PROVIDED THAT: 

 

	 	(i)	No Event of Default will arise if the relevant Financial Indebtedness is not accelerated or, if it is accelerated but, in aggregate, the Financial Indebtedness is less
than [*]; and 

  

	 	(ii)	Financial Indebtedness being contested by the Borrower in good faith will be disregarded for a period of [*] days from its occurrence if full details of the dispute are
submitted to the Agent forthwith upon its occurrence. If the dispute remains unresolved for a period of more than [*] from its occurrence, this Clause 13.2.4(ii) shall not apply to that Financial Indebtedness.

 Any member
of the Group becomes or is declared insolvent or is unable, or admits in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they fall due or becomes insolvent within the terms of any applicable law.

following final appeal remains unsatisfied for a period of thirty (30) days in the case of a judgment made in the United States of America and otherwise for a period of sixty (60) days PROVIDED THAT no Event of Default shall be
deemed to have occurred unless the distress, execution, attachment or other process adversely affects any Obligor’s ability to meet any of its material obligations under this Agreement or the other Security Documents or cause to occur any of
the events specified in Clauses 13.2.5 to 13.2.8 (the determination of which shall be in the Agent’s sole discretion).

	 	13.2.12	Revocation of consents

any Obligor to comply with any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents is materially adversely modified, revoked or withheld or does not remain in full force and effect and within ninety (90) days of the date of its occurrence
such event is not remedied to the satisfaction of the Agent and the Agent considers in its sole discretion that such failure is or might be expected to become materially prejudicial to the interests, rights or position of the Lenders provided that
the Borrower shall not be entitled to the aforesaid ninety (90) day period if the modification, revocation or withholding of the authorisation, approval or consent is due to an act or omission of any Obligor and the Agent is satisfied in its
sole discretion that the Lenders’ interests might reasonably be expected to be materially adversely affected.

 At any
time it is unlawful or impossible for any Obligor to perform any of its material (to the Finance Parties or any of them) obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party or it is unlawful or impossible for the Finance Parties or any
Lender to exercise any of their or its rights under any of the Transaction Documents, provided that no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred where: 
  

	 	(a)	the unlawfulness or impossibility preventing any Obligor from performing its obligations (other than its payment obligations under this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents) is cured within a period of twenty one (21) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the unlawfulness or impossibility and the relevant Obligor within the aforesaid period, performs its obligation(s) (except where the
unlawfulness or impossibility adversely affects any Obligor’s payment obligations under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (the determination of which shall be in the Agent’s sole discretion) in which case the following
provisions of this Clause 13.2.13 shall not apply); and/or 

  

	 	(b)	where a Finance Party was aware of the default and could, in its sole discretion, mitigate the consequences of the unlawfulness or impossibility. The reasonable costs

	 	13.2.15	Disposals 

 If the
Borrower or any other member of the Group shall have concealed, removed, or permitted to be concealed or removed, any part of its property, with intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors or any of them, or made or suffered a transfer of any

creditor. 
  

	 	13.2.16	Prejudice to security 


Anything is done or suffered or omitted to be done by any Obligor which in the reasonable opinion of the Agent would or might be expected
to imperil the security created by any of the Security Documents. 
  

	 	13.2.17	Material adverse change 


Any material adverse change in the business, assets or financial condition of any Obligor occurs which in the reasonable opinion of the
Agent would or might reasonably be expected to affect the ability of that Obligor duly to perform any of its material obligations under any Security Document to which it is or may at any time be a party. For the purposes of this Clause 13.2.17 and
without prejudice to the generality of the expression “material obligations” any payment obligations of any Obligor shall be deemed material.

intervention by or on behalf of any authority and within ninety (90) days of the date of its occurrence any such seizure or intervention is not relinquished or withdrawn and the Agent reasonably considers that the relevant occurrence is or
might be expected to become materially prejudicial to the interests, rights or position of the Lenders provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to the aforesaid ninety (90) day period if the seizure or intervention executed by any
authority is due to an act or omission of any member of the Group and the Agent is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the Lenders’ interest might reasonably be expected to be materially adversely affected. 

 

	13.3	If at any time during the period commencing on the day after the date of this Agreement and ending on the date falling sixty (60) days before the Intended Delivery
Date (the “Limited Period”) any event should occur that would constitute an Event of Default, the Agent shall not be entitled to serve a notice under Clause 13.4 unless during the Limited Period: 


 

	 	13.3.1	there is a failure by an Obligor to perform any material obligation under the Transaction Documents on the relevant due date or within any applicable grace period,
including but without limitation if the Guarantor fails to provide to the Agent the statement referred to in Clause 3.1.4 in the manner described in that Clause; or 


 

	 	13.3.2	the relevant event would imperil the security created by the Guarantee. 


 

 63 








 In no event shall the provisions of this Clause 13.3 be interpreted as a waiver of the
Agent’s right to serve a notice under Clause 13.4 in respect of any Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing on the date falling sixty (60) days before the Intended Delivery Date. 

 

	13.4	Notice of any Event of Default and/or of the acceleration of the payment of the principal of the Loan, interest thereon and all other sums due under this Agreement
shall be given by the Agent in accordance with Clause 27. 

  

	13.5	In no event shall any delay in exercising the Lenders’ right to require advance repayment be interpreted as a waiver of this right. 


 

	13.6	Furthermore, in case of such accelerated repayment following an Event of Default, the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Agent, in addition to the Coface Premium
pursuant to Clause 6, compensation calculated as provided for in Clause 11. 

  

	13.7	Following an Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, the Borrower irrevocably authorises the Agent and the Lenders to apply any credit balance to
which the Borrower is entitled upon any account of the Borrower with any branch of any of the Agent and the Lenders in or towards satisfaction of any sum due to the Agent or any Lender hereunder but unpaid, and to combine any accounts of the
Borrower for this purpose. If such set-off requires a credit balance in a currency other than the required currency to be transferred to an account maintained in connection herewith the transfer shall be effected by crediting to the account in
question the amount of the required currency which the Agent or the Lender (as the case may be) could obtain by exchanging such currency for the required currency at the rate of exchange at which its Facility Office would, at the opening of business
on the date on which the combination is effected, have sold the currency of that credit balance for the required currency for immediate delivery. 

  

	13.8	In the event that the accelerated amount is received by the Agent before the date of normal maturity of the accelerated interest payments, the Borrower shall, subject
to no sums remaining due to the Lenders from the Borrower, be entitled to refund of interest for the actual number of days between the date on which the Lenders received the amount and the normal date for payment of such amount.


  

	14.	MANDATORY PREPAYMENT 

  

	14.1	Subject to Clause 14.2, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (including but without limitation the amount representing the
financed Coface Premium) together with all other sums due under this Agreement if: 

  

	 	14.1.1	the Vessel shall become a Total Loss; or 

  

	 	14.1.2	if the Coface Insurance Policy is modified, suspended, terminated or rescinded unless caused by the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of a Finance Party.


  

	14.2	However, if the Vessel shall become a Total Loss (but without prejudice to the Lenders’ rights to receive the proceeds of the Insurances or Compulsory Acquisition
forthwith upon collection as may be provided for in the Mortgage and/or the Assignment of Insurances), the Borrower shall not be required to pay its indebtedness under this Agreement earlier than the date which is one hundred and fifty
(150) days after the Total Loss Date. 

  

 64 









	14.3	The provisions of Clause 11 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any prepayment pursuant to this Clause 14. 


 

	15.	CURRENCY OF PAYMENT 

 The
funds for payment of all sums due by the Borrower under this Agreement, shall be paid in euro or Dollars (in the case that the payment is due in Dollars) to the credit of:

freely transferable and convertible currency. For each payment to be made, the Borrower shall notify the Agent on the third Business Day prior to the due payment date that it will issue instructions to its bank (which shall be named in such
notification) to make the relevant payment. 
  

	16.	SECURITY 

 All the
Borrower’s payment obligations under this Agreement shall be secured by: 
  

	 	16.1.1	the Guarantee to be signed within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement in favour of the Finance Parties; 


 

	 	16.1.2	the Mortgage to be executed and registered in favour of the Finance Parties forthwith upon delivery of the Vessel; and 


 

	 	16.1.3	the Assignment of Warranty Rights, the Assignment of Insurances, the Assignment of Earnings and the Assignment of Management Agreement to be executed in favour of the
Finance Parties forthwith upon delivery of the Vessel.

without prejudice to complementary provisions of the Mortgage, be applied: 
  

	 	17.1.1	in priority, to payments of any kind due or in arrears in the order of their due payment dates and first, to fees, charges and expenses, second, to interest payable

rata to each of the Lenders and in each case in inverse order of maturity, the interest being recalculated accordingly.

	 	18.1.2	transfer by novation its rights and obligations, 


to another bank or financial institution which is authorised by the French Authorities to enter into French export credits benefiting from

to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and 

  

	 	(b)	performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations 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.

	 	18.2.6	If: 

  

	 	(a)	a Lender assigns or transfers its rights or obligations under the Security Documents or changes its Facility Office; and 


 

	 	(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender
acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 8, 

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

 

 66 









	18.3	Assignment or transfer fee

	 	(a)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor 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; and

the Security Documents or any Commitment is in force. 

  

	 	18.4.3	Nothing in any Security Document 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 or
otherwise. 

  

 67 









	18.5	Procedure for transfer

	 	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 each of the
Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Security Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Security Documents shall be cancelled (being the
“Discharged Rights and Obligations”); 

  

	 	(b)	each of the Obligors 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 that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender; 

  

	 	(c)	the Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the New Lender and the 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 Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Existing Lender
shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Security Documents; and

	20.14	Credit appraisal by the Lenders 


Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Security

not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Security Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Security

	 	22.1.1	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent; 


 

	 	22.1.2	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been
received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 17 and Clause 23), without taking account of any tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 


 

 74 









	 	22.1.3	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”)

	22.2	Redistribution of payments 


The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties

	 	22.3.1	On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 22.2, the Recovering Finance Party will, if possible under the relevant applicable laws, be subrogated to the rights of the
Finance Parties which have shared in the redistribution.

Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable. 

  

	22.4	Reversal of redistribution 


If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering
Finance Party, then: 
  

	 	22.4.1	each Lender which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 22.4 shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of that
Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which
that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and 

  

	 	22.4.2	that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing
Finance Party for the amount so reimbursed. 

  

	22.5	Exceptions 

  

	 	22.5.1	This Clause 22 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable
claim against the relevant Obligor. 

  

	 	22.5.2	A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of
taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if: 

  

	 	(a)	it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and 


 

 75 









	 	(b)	that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received
notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

	 	23.1.1	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Security Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent

payment. 

  

	 	23.1.2	Payment shall be made to such account in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London (or, in the case of any other currency, in the principal

Each payment received by the Agent under the Security Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 23.3, Clause 23.4 and Clause
20.15 be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may
notify to the Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice with a bank in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London (or, in the case of any other currency, in the principal financial centre of the
country of that currency). 
  

	23.3	Distributions to an Obligor

	23.4	Clawback 

  

	 	23.4.1	Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Security Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or
perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum. 

  

	 	23.4.2	If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or
the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect
its cost of funds. 

  

 76 









	23.5	No set-off by Obligors 


All payments to be made by an Obligor under the Security Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any

payable on the original due date.

of that country, then: 

  

	 	(a)	any reference in the Security Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Security Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid
in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Lenders and the Borrower); and 

  

	 	(b)	any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that
currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably). 

  

	 	23.8.2	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Lenders and the

	25.	ENFORCEMENT 

  

	25.1	Jurisdiction of English courts 


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

 

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


  

	 	25.1.2	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 25.1 is for the benefit of the
Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, any Finance Party may take concurrent proceedings in any number

Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Borrower:

any Finance Document; and 

  

	 	25.2.2	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Borrower of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

	30.1	Establishment 

 The

	 	30.2.2	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;

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

taking of any other action whatsoever and howsoever in connection therewith or the collectability of any sum due hereunder;

communicated or signed; or 

  

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


 

 80 









	 	(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; or

actual notice to the contrary; 

  

	 	30.3.3	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

Agreement; or

 APPENDIX V 

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. 


 

	 	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. 


 

 87 









	 	1.6	If the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement upon the Closing (as described in clause 1.1 of this Appendix) 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 Appendix) 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 Appendix) or (ii) make the NCLA Wind-up Determination (as defined in clause 3.5 of this Appendix). 

 

 88 









	 	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. 
  

 89 








 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 Appendix), a change of control is triggered under the Indenture, dated 15 July 2004, between the Guarantor 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 Guarantor will proceed with a repurchase offer for the outstanding bonds at a purchase

any sum received or receivable hereunder by such Lender or the Agent on the Lenders’ 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 on the Lenders’ behalf, the Guarantor 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 that are otherwise imposed or asserted on account of the bad faith or wilful neglect of such Lender or the Agent. 


 

 107 








 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. 
  

	 	6.3	The certificate of the Agent from time to time as to sums owed by any Obligor 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. 


 

	 	6.4	If the Guarantor makes any payment hereunder 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 it has made such payment to the applicable authority

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 Guarantor 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 Guarantor hereunder and shall be accepted by the Guarantor 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	Enforcement 

  

	 	7.1	The Beneficiaries shall not be obliged before taking steps to enforce this Deed to take any action whatsoever against any of the Obligors or any other person and the
Guarantor hereby waives all such formalities or rights to which it would otherwise be entitled or which the Beneficiaries would otherwise first be required to satisfy or fulfil before proceeding or making demand against the Guarantor hereunder

 less an amount equal to any Cash Balance and all amounts from time to time standing to the credit of the [*] as
at such date.

quarter) for the period between the Second Restatement Date up to and including 31 December 2010 is more than [*] lower than Budgeted Consolidated EBITDA for such period, then the Majority Group-Wide Lenders shall have the right to request the
Guarantor promptly to appoint, at its cost, an independent restructuring firm acceptable to the Majority Group-Wide Lenders to provide a due diligence report on the management restructuring plan and its present state to the Group-Wide Lenders as
soon as practicable. The Guarantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist such restructuring firm in preparing such due diligence report within sixty (60) days of the request. 


 

	12	Special Liquidity 

  

	 	12.1.1	Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Total Special Liquidity Sources Amount shall be applied on the relevant Special Liquidity Sources
Payment Date in prepayment, reduction and/or cancellation of the Cash Sweep Credit Facilities. 

  

	 	12.1.2	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, payment under this Clause 12 shall only be required to the extent such payment does not reduce Liquidity to a level below [*].


  

	 	12.1.3	No vessel in the Group Fleet may be sold unless any Special Liquidity Sources arising from the sale are applied in accordance with this Clause 12.


  

	13	Chartering

company in the Group shall), charter (in or out) any vessel, except that the following shall be permitted: 
  

	 	13.1	the chartering out of m.v. “NORWEGIAN JADE” by Pride of Hawaii, Inc. to the Manager and any other intra-Group chartering of any vessel, which complies with
clause 10.12 and clause 10.14.3 of the Loan Agreement; 

  

	 	13.2	any extra-Group chartering out of a vessel that would be permissible under clause 10.12 and clause 10.14 of the Loan Agreement, except that no such extra-Group charter
may be made: 

  

	 	13.2.1	other than in the usual course of business of the vessel’s owner or other Group operator; 


 

 120 









	 	13.2.2	directly or indirectly to another cruise line; 

  

	 	13.2.3	for a period longer than two (2) months; and/or 

  

	 	13.2.4	other than at or about market rate at the time the charter is fixed;

	 	13.4	any charter of a vessel in existence at the date of the Third Supplemental Deed to or from a person that is not a company in the Group at the Second Restatement Date
PROVIDED THAT any extension or renewal of such a charter shall only be permitted if either it is not materially adverse to the Group or the Group-Wide Lenders, in the opinion of the Majority Group-Wide Lenders, or the extension or renewal is
solely at the option of that person which is not a company in the Group. 

  

	14	Hedging 

 Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Loan Agreement or this Deed to the contrary, the Guarantor shall not (and will procure that no company in the Group shall) enter into any ISDA Master Agreement (or any other form of master agreement) or any transaction
under any such master agreement relating to a fuel, interest or currency exchange transaction unless: 
  

	 	a)	the counterparty to such master agreement is a Group-Wide Lender (or an Affiliate (as defined in Clause 11.4) of a Group-Wide Lender); and 


 

	 	b)	the entry into that master agreement or transaction is for non-speculative reasons. 


 

	15	Equity Contribution 

 If
the Guarantor fails to comply with the financial covenants under the loan documentation in respect of the Cash Sweep Credit Facilities during the period from the Second Restatement Date up to and including 31 December 2010, the Guarantor shall, with
the support and co-operation of its shareholders, use commercially reasonable endeavours and take all practicable steps to procure the contribution by the Investors, Star and/or any other capital provider of new equity in cash for the Guarantor. To
the extent such endeavour is successful, such contribution shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date of such breach and be in an amount (in addition to the New Cash Equity) not exceeding the lesser of the amount required by the Majority
Group-Wide Lenders and [*], in aggregate. 
  

	16	Indebtedness 


Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Agreement or this Deed to the contrary, the Guarantor shall not (and will procure that no
company in the Group shall) incur any Indebtedness (as defined in Clause 11.4) other than Permitted Indebtedness. 
  

	17	Discharge 

 Subject to
Clause 4.3, following the irrevocable repayment or payment to the Lenders or the Agent (for itself and on behalf of the Lenders) of all the Outstanding Indebtedness the Beneficiaries will at the Guarantor’s request return this Deed to the
Guarantor and shall, at the request and cost of the Guarantor, transfer to the Guarantor such rights as the Beneficiaries may at such time have in the security for the Outstanding Indebtedness and to the proceeds of any such rights or security.

  

 121

	 	18.1	This Deed shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Beneficiaries and their successors and permitted assigns and transferees. 


 

	 	18.2	The Guarantor shall not be entitled to assign or transfer all or any part of its rights, benefits or obligations under this Deed. 


 

	 	18.3	The Lenders and/or the Agent may transfer their respective rights hereunder to any person to whom their respective rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement are
transferred in accordance with the Loan Agreement. 

  

	 	18.4	Any Finance Party may disclose to any of its Affiliates and to the following other persons: 


 

	 	(a)	any person to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Deed;


  

	 	(b)	any person with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which
payments are to be made by reference to, this Deed or any Obligor; 

  

	 	(c)	any person to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation; 


 

	 	(d)	any other Finance Party, or any employee, officer, director or representative of such entity which needs to know such information or receive such document in the course
of such person’s employ or duties; 

  

	 	(e)	Coface, or any employee, officer, director or representative of such entity which needs to know such information or receive such document in the course of such
person’s employ or duties; 

  

	 	(f)	the Guarantor or any other member of the Group, or any employee, officer, director or representative of such entity which needs to know such information or receive such
document in the course of such person’s employ or duties; or 

  

	 	(g)	auditors, insurance and reinsurance brokers, insurers and reinsurers and professional advisers, including legal advisers, which need to know such information,


 any information about any Obligor, this Deed and the other Security Documents as that Finance Party shall
consider appropriate. Each of the Finance Parties may also disclose to the Builder, or any employee, officer, director or representative of the Builder which needs to know such information or receive such document in the course of such person’s
employ or duties, such information about any Obligor, this Deed and the other Security Documents as that Finance Party reasonably considers normal practice for a French export credit. 

 

 122 








 Each of the Finance Parties 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 or the Coface Insurance Policy (other than any information which is in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Clause) is
confidential information and undertakes to advise this fact to any recipient of any such information under this Clause. 
  

	 	18.5	A person (including any body of persons) who is not a party to this Deed has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this
Deed but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act. 

  

	19	Miscellaneous Provisions 

  

	 	19.1	No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part of the Beneficiaries or any of the other Finance Parties any right or remedy under this Deed or under any
other of the Security Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver by the
Beneficiaries or any of the other Finance Parties shall be effective unless it is in writing. 

  

	 	19.2	The rights and remedies of the Finance Parties provided herein and in the other Security Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided
by law. 

  

	 	19.3	If any provision of this Deed or the Loan Agreement or any other Security Document to which any Obligor is a party is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such prohibition or unenforceability shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

	20	Waiver of Immunity

	 	20.1.2	consents generally in respect of any such proceedings to the giving of any relief including, without limitation, the issue of any process in connection with such
proceedings and the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such proceedings.

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.
