cedex, France, registered under the n° Siren 304 187 701 at the Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés of Nanterre (the “Agent”, which expression includes its successors and assigns). 


BACKGROUND 
  

	(A)	By a Master Shipbuilding (Contracts and Options) Agreement dated 14 May 2008 (the “Master Agreement”) entered into between (inter alia) Fincantieri - Cantieri Navali Italiani SpA (the
“Builder”), Prestige Cruise Holdings and, by way of endorsement, Marina New Build LLC (the “Borrower”) providing for an original shipbuilding contract dated 13 June 2007 (the “Original Shipbuilding
Contract”) between the Borrower and the Builder to be novated and modified in the form and on the terms set out in the Master Agreement (the Original Shipbuilding Contract as novated and modified by the Master Agreement being hereinafter
referred to as the “Shipbuilding Contract”), the Builder has agreed to design, construct and deliver, and the Borrower has agreed to purchase, a passenger cruise ship currently having hull number 6194. 


 

	(B)	By a loan agreement dated 18 July 2008 and made between (i) the Borrower, (ii) the Lenders, (iii) the Mandated Lead Arrangers and (iv) the Agent and SACE Agent, it was agreed that the Lenders would make available to the
Borrower a loan facility of the Dollar Equivalent of up to EUR 349,520,718 for the purpose of assisting the Borrower in financing (i) payment under the Shipbuilding Contract of all or part of 80% of the Final Contract Price up to the Eligible Amount
and (ii) payment to SACE of the Dollar Equivalent of 100% of the second instalment of the SACE Premium. 

  

	(C)	The execution and delivery to the Agent of this Guarantee is one of the conditions precedent to the availability of the facility under the said Loan Agreement. 


IT IS AGREED as follows: 
  

	1	INTERPRETATION 

  

	1.1	Defined expressions. Words and expressions defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings when used in this Guarantee unless the context otherwise requires. 









	1.2	Construction of certain terms. In this Guarantee: 

 “bankruptcy”
includes a liquidation, receivership or administration and any form of suspension of payments, arrangement with creditors or reorganisation under any corporate or insolvency law of any country; 

“Loan Agreement” means the loan agreement dated 18 July 2008 referred to in Recital (A) and includes any existing or future
amendments or supplements, whether made with the Guarantor’s consent or otherwise; and 
 “Oceania Cruises Group” means
the Guarantor and its subsidiaries. 
  

	1.3	Application of construction and interpretation provisions of Loan Agreement. Clauses 1.2 to 1.5 of the Loan Agreement apply, with any necessary modifications, to this Guarantee. 


 

	2	GUARANTEE 

  

	2.1	Guarantee and indemnity. The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably: 

  

	(a)	guarantees the due payment of all amounts payable by the Borrower under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and every other Finance Document; 


 

	(b)	undertakes to pay to the Agent acting on behalf of the Creditor Parties, on the Agent’s demand, any such amount which is not paid by the Borrower when payable; 


 

	(c)	undertakes to procure that the Borrower shall perform all its other obligations under the Loan Agreement and every other Finance Document; and 


 

	(d)	fully indemnifies the Agent and each other Creditor Party on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by the Agent as a result of or in
connection with any obligation or liability guaranteed by the Guarantor unenforceable, invalid, void or illegal; and the amount recoverable under this indemnity shall be equal to the amount which the Agent or any Creditor Party would otherwise have
been entitled to recover. 

  

	2.2	No limit on number of demands. The Agent acting on behalf of the Creditor Parties may serve any number of demands under Clause 2.1. 


 

	3	LIABILITY AS PRINCIPAL AND INDEPENDENT DEBTOR 

  

	3.1	Principal and independent debtor. The Guarantor shall be liable under this Guarantee as a principal and independent debtor and accordingly it shall not have, as regards this Guarantee, any of the rights or
defences of a surety. 

  

	3.2	Waiver of rights and defences. Without limiting the generality of Clause 3.1, the Guarantor shall neither be discharged by, nor have any claim against any Creditor Party in respect of: 


 

	(a)	any amendment or supplement being made to the Finance Documents or any of them; 

  

	(b)	any arrangement or concession (including a rescheduling or acceptance of partial payments) relating to, or affecting, the Finance Documents or any of them; 


 

	(c)	any release or loss whatsoever of any guarantee, right or Security Interest created by the Finance Documents or any of them; 


  
 2 









	(d)	any failure whatsoever promptly or properly to exercise or enforce any such right or Security Interest, including a failure to realise for its full market value an asset covered by such a Security Interest; or


  

	(e)	any other Finance Document or any Security Interest now being or later becoming void, unenforceable, illegal or invalid or otherwise defective for any reason, including a neglect to register it. 


 

	4	EXPENSES 

  

	4.1	Costs of preservation of rights, enforcement etc. The Guarantor shall pay to the Agent on its demand the amount of all expenses incurred by the Agent or any other Creditor Party in connection with any
matter arising out of this Guarantee or any Security Interest connected with it, including any advice, claim or proceedings relating to this Guarantee or such a Security Interest. 


 

	4.2	Fees and expenses payable under Loan Agreement. Clause 4.1 is without prejudice to the Guarantor’s liabilities in respect of the Borrower’s obligations under clauses 10 (Fees) and 11 (Taxes,
Increased Costs and Related Charges) of the Loan Agreement and under similar provisions of other Finance Documents. 

  

	5	ADJUSTMENT OF TRANSACTIONS 

  

	5.1	Reinstatement of obligation to pay. The Guarantor shall pay to the Agent on its demand any amount which any Creditor Party is required, or agrees, to pay pursuant to any claim by, or settlement with, a
trustee in bankruptcy of the Borrower or of any other Obligor (or similar person) on the ground that the Loan Agreement, or a payment by the Borrower or of such other Obligor, was invalid or on any similar ground. 


 

	6	PAYMENTS 

  

	6.1	Method of payments. Any amount due under this Guarantee shall be paid: 

  

	(a)	in immediately available funds; 

  

	(b)	to such account as the Agent acting on behalf of the other Creditor Parties may from time to time notify to the Guarantor; 

  

	(c)	without any form of set-off, cross-claim or condition; and 

  

	(d)	free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which the Guarantor is required by law to make. 

  

	6.2	Grossing-up for taxes. If the Guarantor is required by law to make a tax deduction, the amount due to the Agent acting on behalf of the other Creditor Parties shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure
that the Agent and (if the payment is not due to the Agent for its own account) the Creditor Party beneficially interested in the payment receives and retains a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount that it would
otherwise have received. 

  

	6.3	 Tax Credits. If an additional payment is made by the Guarantor under this Clause and any Creditor Party determines that it has received
or been granted a credit against or relief of or calculated with reference to the deduction giving rise to such additional payment, such Creditor Party 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 Creditor Party shall in its reasonable opinion have concluded to be attributable
to the relevant deduction. Any such payment shall be conclusive evidence of 



  
 3 









	 	
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. Nothing herein
contained shall interfere with the right of each Creditor Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit. 

  

	7	INTEREST 

  

	7.1	Accrual of interest. Any amount due under this Guarantee shall carry interest after the date on which the Agent demands payment of it until it is actually paid, unless interest on that same amount also accrues
under the Loan Agreement. 

  

	7.2	Calculation of interest. Interest on sums payable under this Guarantee shall be calculated and accrue in the same way as interest under clause 6 of the Loan Agreement. 


 

	7.3	Guarantee extends to interest payable under Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is confirmed that this Guarantee covers all interest payable under the Loan Agreement, including that payable under
clause 17 of the Loan Agreement. 

  

	8	SUBORDINATION 

  

	8.1	Subordination of rights of Guarantor. All rights which the Guarantor at any time has (whether in respect of this Guarantee or any other transaction) against the Borrower, any other Obligor or their respective
assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Creditor Parties under the Finance Documents; and in particular, the Guarantor shall not: 

  

	(a)	claim, or in a bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other Obligor prove for, any amount payable to the Guarantor by the Borrower or any other Obligor, whether in respect of this Guarantee or any other transaction;


  

	(b)	take or enforce any Security Interest for any such amount; 

  

	(c)	claim to set-off any such amount against any amount payable by the Guarantor to the Borrower or any other Obligor; or 

  

	(d)	claim any subrogation or right of contribution or other right in respect of any Finance Document or any sum received or recovered by any Creditor Party under a Finance Document. 


 

	9	ENFORCEMENT 

  

	9.1	No requirement to commence proceedings against Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any other Creditor Party will need to make any demand under, commence any proceedings under, or enforce any guarantee or any Security
Interest contained in or created by, the Loan Agreement or any other Finance Document before claiming or commencing proceedings under this Guarantee. 

  

	9.2	Conclusive evidence of certain matters. However, as against the Guarantor: 

  

	(a)	any judgment or order of a court in England or the Marshall Islands or the United States of America in connection with the Loan Agreement; and 


 

	(b)	any statement or admission of the Borrower in connection with the Loan Agreement, 

 shall be
binding and conclusive as to all matters of fact and law to which it relates. 
  

	9.3	Suspense account. The Agent and any Creditor Party may, for the purpose of claiming or proving in a bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other Obligor, place any sum received or recovered under or by virtue of this
Guarantee or any Security Interest connected with it on a separate suspense or other nominal account without applying it in satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement.

	(b)	continue to be the member of a group of companies whose main business is the operation of cruise vessels as well as the marketing of cruises on board such vessels and the Guarantor will not change its main line of

	 	(ii)	the ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA for the Oceania Cruises Group for the relevant Financial Year shall not exceed the level provided for, for that Financial Year, in Part A of Schedule 2 if the Letter of Credit shall
have been issued and on the Relevant Date shall remain held by the Agent as security for the Creditor Parties or, if that Part A shall not apply, in Part B of Schedule 2; and 


 

	 	(iii)	the ratio of Total Debt to Total Adjusted Equity for the Oceania Cruises Group for the relevant Financial Year shall not exceed the level provided for, for that Financial Year, in Part A of Schedule 2 if the Letter of
Credit shall have been issued and on the Relevant Date shall remain held by the Agent as security for the Creditor Parties or, if that Part A shall not apply, in Part B of Schedule 2; 


provided that the “relevant Financial Year” shall mean, at the end of the First Financial Quarter, the Financial Year of which that
First Financial Quarter forms part and, to the extent that there remain financial quarters still to come, in such Financial Year, the relevant numbers for calculation of the Financial Covenants at such time shall be made up of unaudited consolidated
accounts for those quarters that have already taken place and of projected consolidated accounts for any quarter(s) still to come, such projections to be prepared by the Guarantor in such form and on such basis as may be reasonably acceptable to the
Agent acting on behalf of the Creditor Parties, including being consistent with the approach adopted in the quarters that have taken place already.

	12	JUDGMENTS AND CURRENCY INDEMNITY

accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which a Creditor Party is entitled (whether under the general law or any document). 

  

	13.3	Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 13, a sum payable by the Guarantor to the Agent acting on behalf of the Creditor Parties for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be

	14.2	Rights cumulative, non-exclusive. The Agent’s and any other Creditor Party’s rights under and in connection with this Guarantee are cumulative, may be exercised as often as appears expedient and shall

	 	Guarantee, that shall not impair that or any other right of the Agent or any other Creditor Party under this Guarantee. 


  
 12 









	14.4	Severability of provisions. If any provision of this Guarantee is or subsequently becomes void, illegal, unenforceable or otherwise invalid, that shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability
of its other provisions. 

  

	14.5	Guarantee not affected by other security. This Guarantee shall not impair, nor be impaired by, any other guarantee, any Security Interest or any right of set-off or netting or to combine accounts which the
Agent or any other Creditor Party may now or later hold in connection with the Loan Agreement. 

  

	14.6	Guarantor bound by Loan Agreement. The Guarantor agrees with the Agent and any other Creditor Party to be bound by all provisions of the Loan Agreement which are applicable to the Security Parties in the
same way as if those provisions had been set out (with any necessary modifications) in this Guarantee. 

  

	14.7	Applicability of provisions of Guarantee to other Security Interests. Any Security Interest which the Guarantor creates (whether at the time at which it signs this Guarantee or at any later time) to secure any
liability under this Guarantee shall be a principal and independent security, and Clauses 3 and 17 shall, with any necessary modifications, apply to it, notwithstanding that the document creating the Security Interest neither describes it as a
principal or independent security nor includes provisions similar to Clauses 3 and 17. 

  

	14.8	Applicability of provisions of Guarantee to other rights. Clauses 3 and 17 shall also apply to any right of set-off or netting or to combine accounts which the Guarantor creates by an agreement entered
into at the time of this Guarantee or at any later time (notwithstanding that the agreement does not include provisions similar to Clauses 3 and 17), being an agreement referring to this Guarantee. 


 

	14.9	Third party rights. Other than a Creditor Party or SACE, no person who is not a party to this Guarantee has any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy
the benefit of any term of this Guarantee. 

  

	14.10	Waiver of rights against SACE. Nothing in this Guarantee or any of the Finance Documents is intended to grant to the Guarantor or any other person any right of contribution from or any other right or claim
against SACE and the Guarantor hereby waives irrevocably any right of contribution or other right or claim as between itself and SACE. 

  

	15	ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER 

  

	15.1	Assignment and transfer by Creditor Parties. The Agent and Creditor Parties may assign or transfer their rights under and in connection with this Guarantee to the same extent as they may assign or transfer
