                          OF THE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES
                                       OF
              SERIES B CONVERTIBLE NON REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURSUANT TO SECTION 78.195 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

      Essential Reality, Inc. a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Nevada (the "Company"), hereby certifies that the following
resolutions were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to
the authority of the Board of Directors.

      RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the
Board of Directors of this Company (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") in
accordance with the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each
as amended through the date hereof, the Board of Directors hereby amends Article
Fourth of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the
"Articles") to authorize a series of Series B Convertible Non Redeemable
Preferred Shares, $.001 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), and hereby
states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights,
preferences, privileges, powers and restrictions thereof as follows:

I. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

      For purposes of this amendment, capitalized terms are defined in this
amendment or shall have the following meanings:

      "Common Stock" means the common stock of the Company.

      "Person" means an individual or a corporation, partnership, trust,
incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability
company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or political subdivision
thereof) or other entity of any kind.

II. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT

      The designation of this series, which consists of 1,995,599 of Preferred
Stock, is the Series B Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B
Preferred Stock") and the par value shall be $.001 per share.

III. CONVERSION

      (a) The Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into
shares of Common Stock upon the effectiveness of a certificate of amendment to
the Articles duly filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada authorizing a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock of the Company to enable the
conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock of the Company then outstanding (the
"Conversion Date"). Any conversion under this Section III (a) shall entitle
Holder to receive 700 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B
Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting
such shares). Upon the entire conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the
Series B Preferred Stock shall be returned to the Company for cancellation. No
shares of the Company's Series A 6% Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock,
$.001 par value per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") shall convert into
Common Stock prior to the conversion of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock;
provided, however, that both Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock can convert into Common Stock simultaneously.

                                       1
<PAGE>

      (b) Upon the Conversion Date, all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock
shall immediately convert into the right to receive Common Stock. Within ten
(10) business days of the Conversion Date, the Company shall provide notice to
the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock that such conversion has occurred.
Promptly following the receipt of such notice from the Company that the Series B
Preferred Stock has been converted into Common Stock, the holders of the Series
B Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the office of the Company's transfer agent
(or at the principal office of the Company if the Company serves as its own
transfer agent). If required by the Company, certificates surrendered for
conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by
the registered holder of his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing.
The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, and in all
events within ten (10) business days of receipt of the certificate or
certificates surrendered for conversion, issue and deliver at such office to
such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which such holder shall be entitled; provided however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock until the Series
B Preferred Stock is either delivered for conversion to the Company or any
transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, or the Holder
notifies the Company that such Series B Preferred Stock has been lost, stolen or
destroyed and provides an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to
indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon a conversion hereunder
and the number of shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any conversion hereunder, the
Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by causing to be issued
to Holder an additional full share of Common Stock. The Company covenants that
all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly
and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

      (c) In case of any reclassification of the common stock, any consolidation
or merger of the Company with or into another Person, the sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
cash or property, then each holder of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding
shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series B Preferred Stock only
into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or
deemed to be held by holders of common stock of the Company following such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
(except in the event the property is cash, then the Holder shall have the right
to convert the Series B Preferred Stock and receive cash in the same manner as
other stockholders), and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive
such amount of securities or property as the shares of the Common Stock into

                                        2
<PAGE>

which such Series B Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior
to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange would have been entitled. The terms of any such consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to
give to the holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in
this Section III (c) upon any conversion following such consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share
exchanges.

      (d) The Company covenants that it will authorize, reserve and keep
available, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock free from
preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock,

      (e) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion
of Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder for any
documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other
than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

IV. RANK

      The Series B Preferred Stock shall, as to redemptions, and the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, rank (i) prior to the Company's Common Stock; (ii) prior to any class
or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created that, by its terms,
ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock ("Junior Securities"); (iii) junior
to any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created (with
the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred
Stock) which by its terms ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock ("Senior
Securities"); and (iv) pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock and any
other series of preferred stock of the Company hereafter created (with the
consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred
Stock) which by its terms ranks on a parity ("Pari Passu Securities") with the
Series B Preferred Stock. The foregoing notwithstanding so long as any Series B
Preferred Stock is outstanding without the consent of 66 2/3% of the holders of
the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class), the
Company shall not authorize any senior securities, pari passu securities or
junior securities other than Common Stock.

V. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

      (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
Change of Control or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the
assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders, after and
subject to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the
holders of any class or series of stock of the Company ranking on liquidation
prior and in preference to the Series B Preferred Stock, but before any payment
shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other Junior Shares, an
amount equal to $3.56 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (subject to
appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares). If upon
any such liquidation, dissolution, Change of Control or winding up of the
Company the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its
shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock
ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock shall share
ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Company in
proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect
of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or
with respect to such shares were paid in full. The Common Stock shall constitute
Junior Shares hereunder. For the purposes of hereof, "Change of Control" shall
mean (i) the sale, transfer or other conveyance of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company or (ii) the merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into any other entity whereafter the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, fail to own fifty percent
(50%) or more of the voting power of the surviving entity. The forgoing
notwithstanding, Change of Control shall not include any transaction of the
Company with AllianceCorner Distributors, Inc., or its successors or
shareholders.

      (b) After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to
the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of
stock of the Company ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series B
Preferred Stock, upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company,
the Series B Preferred Stock shall participate (on an as-converted to Common
Stock basis) with the holders of shares of Common Stock then outstanding in the
remaining assets and funds of the Company available for distribution to its
shareholders after the payment of any preferential amount otherwise payable on
any capital stock of the Company.

VI. VOTING RIGHTS

      Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise set forth herein, the
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters
on which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, including, without
limitation, the election of directors. Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock into which the Series B
Preferred Stock held by it is convertible at the record date for determination
of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to vote, or if no such
record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written
consent of holders of Series B Preferred is solicited.

VIII. NO IMPAIRMENT

      The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all the provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock and in
the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
against impairment.

IX. AMENDMENT

      No amendment to this Certificate of Designation of the Rights and
Preferences of Series B Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Shares or the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation changing or inconsistent with the terms
hereof shall be permitted without the consent of 66 2/3% of the holders of the
outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class) so long as
there is any Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

162(m) of the Code and the New York Stock Exchange.

      The expiration date of the Plan, on and after which no Awards may be
granted hereunder, shall be the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date;
provided, however, that the administration of the Plan shall continue in effect
until all matters relating to Awards previously granted have been settled.

4.    Administration

      The Committee shall administer the Plan. The majority of the members of
the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of a majority of the members
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present or acts approved in writing
by a majority of the Committee shall be deemed the acts of the Committee.

      Subject to the provisions of the Plan and applicable law, the Committee
shall have the power, in addition to other express powers and authorizations
conferred on the Committee by the Plan, to: (i) designate Participants; (ii)
determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to a Participant; (iii)
determine the number of Shares to be covered by, or with respect to which
payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with,
Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Awards; (v) determine
whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled or
exercised in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or
canceled, forfeited or suspended and the method or methods by which Awards may
be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited or suspended; (vi) determine whether,
to what extent, and under what circumstances the delivery of cash, Shares, other
securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect
to an Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the
holder thereof or of the Committee; (vii) interpret, administer, reconcile any

            (b) The Committee shall have the authority to amend the Plan
(including by the adaptation of appendices or subplans) and/or the terms and
conditions relating to an Award to the extent necessary to permit participation
in the Plan by Eligible Persons who are located outside of the United States on
terms and conditions comparable to those afforded to Eligible Persons located
within the United States; provided, however, that no such action shall be taken
without shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any
tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including as necessary to
prevent the Company from being denied a tax deduction on account of Section
162(m) of the Code).

            (c) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all
designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with
respect to the Plan or any Award or any documents evidencing Awards shall be
within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall
be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties, including, without
limitation, each member of the Combined Group, their respective Affiliates, any
Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any shareholder.

5.    Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan

<PAGE>

      The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards of Options, Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or other stock-based Awards pursuant to Section
9, to one or more Eligible Persons; provided, however, that:

            (a) Subject to Section 11, the aggregate number of Shares in respect
of which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 40,000,000;

            (b) Shares shall be deemed to have been used in settlement of Awards
whether they are actually delivered. In the event any Award shall be
surrendered, terminate, expire, forfeited or cancelled for any reason whatsoever
without the Participant having benefited from therefrom, the number of Shares no
longer subject thereto shall thereupon be released and shall thereafter be
available for new Awards under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
a Participant shall not be deemed to have received any "benefit" in the case of
forfeited Restricted Stock Awards by reason of having enjoyed voting rights and
dividend rights prior to the date of forfeiture;

            (c) Shares delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be
authorized and unissued Shares or Shares held in the treasury of the Company or
purchased on the open market or by private purchase; and

            (d) Subject to Section 11, no person may be granted an Award under
the Plan during any calendar year with respect to more than 2,000,000 Shares;
provided that such number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 11, and Shares
otherwise counted against such number, only in a manner which will not cause the
Awards granted under the Plan to fail to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

6.    Eligibility

      Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have received
written notification from the Committee, or from a person designated by the
Committee, that they have been selected to participate in the Plan.

7.    Terms of Options

      The Committee is authorized to grant one or more Incentive Stock Options
or Nonqualified Stock Options to any Eligible Person; provided, however, that no
Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is not an
employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. Each Option so granted shall be subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, or to such other conditions as
may be reflected in the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

            (a) Option Price. The Option Price per Share for each Option shall
be set by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than (i) in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option, and subject to Section 7(f), the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant, and (ii) in the case of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date
of Grant; provided, however, that all Options intended to qualify as
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code shall have an
Option Price per Share no less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date
of Grant.

            (b) Manner of Exercise and Form of Payment. No Shares shall be
delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the
Option Price therefor is received by the Company. Options which have become
exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written notice of exercise to the
Company accompanied by payment of the aggregate Option Price. The Option Price
shall be payable in cash and/or Shares valued at the Fair Market Value at the
time the Option is exercised (including by means of attestation of ownership of
a sufficient number of Shares in lieu of actual delivery of such Shares to the
Company), provided that such Shares are Mature Shares, or, in the discretion of
the Committee, either (i) in

<PAGE>

other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the
Option Price, (ii) by delivering to the Committee a copy of irrevocable
instructions to a stockbroker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount of
loan proceeds, or proceeds of the sale of the Shares subject to the Option,
sufficient to pay the Option Price or (iii) by such other method as the
Committee may allow.

            (c) Vesting, Option Period and Expiration. Options shall vest and
become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the
Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be
determined by the Committee (the "Option Period"); provided, however, that
notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option, which
acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such Option other than
with respect to exercisability. If an Option is exercisable in installments,
such installments or portions thereof which become exercisable shall remain
exercisable until the Option expires.

            Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Stock Option Agreement, an
Option shall expire earlier than the end of the Option Period in the following
circumstances:

                  (i) If prior to the end of the Option Period, the
Participant's employment or service with each member of the Combined Group and
all Affiliates is terminated by a member of the Combined Group without Cause or
by the Participant for any reason other than Retirement, the Option shall expire
on the earlier of the last day of the Option Period or the date that is three
months after the date of such termination; provided, however, that any
Participant whose employment or service with a member of the Combined Group or
any Affiliate is terminated and who is subsequently rehired or reengaged by a
member of the Combined Group or any Affiliate prior to the expiration of the
Option shall not be considered to have undergone a termination. In the event of
a termination described in this clause (i), the Option shall remain exercisable
by the Participant until its expiration only to the extent the Option was
exercisable at the time of such termination.

                  (ii) If the Participant dies or is terminated on account of
Disability prior to the end of the Option Period and while still in the employ
or service of a member of the Combined Group or an Affiliate, or dies following
a termination described in clause (i) above but prior to the expiration of an
Option, the Option shall expire on the earlier of the last day of the Option
Period or the date that is one year after the date of death or termination on
account of Disability of the Participant, as applicable. In such event, the
Option shall remain exercisable by the Participant or his or her beneficiary
determined in accordance with Section 10(p), as applicable, until its expiration
only to the extent the Option was exercisable by the Participant at the time of
such event.

                  (iii) If the Participant ceases employment or service with a
member of the Combined Group and Affiliates due to a termination by a member of
the Combined Group or an Affiliate for Cause, the Option shall expire
immediately upon such cessation of employment or service.

            Unless stated otherwise in an applicable Stock Option Agreement, if
the Participant terminates by reason of Retirement prior to the end of the
Option Period, the Option shall (i) expire at the end of the Option Period and
(ii) continue vesting in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the
Stock Option Agreement, without regard to any requirement in such vesting
schedule that the Participant remain employed with a member of the Combined
Group or an Affiliate as a condition to vesting.

            (d) Other Terms and Conditions. Each Option granted under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement. Except as specifically provided
otherwise in a Stock Option Agreement, each Option granted under the Plan shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  (i) Each Option or portion thereof that is exercisable shall
      be exercisable for the full amount or for any part thereof.

<PAGE>

                  (ii) Each Share purchased through the exercise of an Option
      shall be paid for in full at the time of the exercise. Each Option shall
      cease to be exercisable, as to any Share, when the Participant purchases
      the share or when the Option expires.

                  (iii) Subject to Section 8(h), Options shall not be
      transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and
      distribution and shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime
      only by him.

                  (iv) Each Option shall vest and become exercisable by the
      Participant in accordance with the vesting schedule established by the
      Committee and set forth in the Stock Option Agreement.

                  (v) At the time of any exercise of an Option, the Committee
      may, in its sole discretion, require a Participant to deliver to the
      Committee a written representation that the Shares to be acquired upon
      such exercise are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with
      a view to the distribution thereof. Upon such a request by the Committee,
      delivery of such representation prior to the delivery of any Shares issued
      upon exercise of an Option shall be a condition precedent to the right of
      the Participant or such other person to purchase any Shares. In the event
      certificates for Shares are delivered under the Plan with respect to which
      such investment representation has been obtained, the Committee may cause
      a legend or legends to be placed on such certificates to make appropriate
      reference to such representation and to restrict transfer in the absence
      of compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws.

                  (vi) Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under
      the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he
      makes a disqualifying disposition of any Shares acquired pursuant to the
      exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is
      any disposition (including any sale) of such Shares before the later of
      (a) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (b)
      one year after the date the Participant acquired the Shares by exercising
      the Incentive Stock Option.

                  (vii) Except as specifically provided otherwise in a Stock
      Option Agreement, any Participant who is classified as a "shipboard
      employee," and who has not otherwise evidenced a specific intent to
      permanently terminate his employment with each member of the Combined
      Group and all Affiliates (as reasonably determined by the Committee) shall
      not be considered to have terminated employment with each member of the
      Combined Group and all Affiliates until a six-month period has expired
      from his signing off of a ship without physically signing on to another
      ship.

            (e) Incentive Stock Option Grants to 10% Shareholders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, if an Incentive
Stock Option is granted to a Participant who owns stock representing more than
ten percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of a
Subsidiary or a parent of the Company, the Option Period shall not exceed five
years from the Date of Grant of such Option and the Option Price shall be at
least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value (on the Date of Grant) of the Shares
subject to the Option.

            (f) $100,000 Per Year Limitation for Incentive Stock Options. To the
extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Date of Grant) of
Shares for which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company)
exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as
Nonqualified Stock Options.

8.    Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

            (a) Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards.

<PAGE>

                  (i) The Committee shall have the authority (A) to grant
      Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards to Eligible
      Persons, (B) to issue or transfer Restricted Stock to Participants, and
      (C) to establish terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such
      Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, including the Restricted
      Period, which may differ with respect to each Participant, the time or
      times at which Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be granted
      or become vested and the number of Shares or units to be covered by each
      grant.

                  (ii) Each Participant granted a Restricted Stock Award shall
      execute and deliver to the Company a Restricted Stock agreement with
      respect to the Restricted Stock setting forth the restrictions applicable
      to such Restricted Stock. If the Committee determines that the Restricted
      Stock shall be held in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant
      pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may
      require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company
      (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee and (B) the
      appropriate blank stock powers with respect to the Restricted Stock
      covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an
      agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an
      escrow agreement and stock powers, the Award shall be null and void.
      Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 8(b), the Participant
      generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such
      Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. At
      the discretion of the Committee, cash dividends and stock dividends with
      respect to the Restricted Stock may be either currently paid to the
      Participant or withheld by the Company for the Participant's account, and
      interest may be credited on the amount of cash dividends withheld at a
      rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. The cash
      dividends or stock dividends so withheld by the Committee and attributable
      to any particular share of Restricted Stock (and earnings thereon, if
      applicable) shall be distributed to the Participant upon the release of
      restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the
      Participant shall have no right to such cash dividends stock dividends.

                  (iii) Upon the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock, the
      Committee shall cause a stock certificate registered in the name of the
      Participant to be issued and, if it so determines, deposited together with
      the stock powers with an escrow agent designated by the Committee. If an
      escrow arrangement is used, the Committee may cause the escrow agent to
      issue to the Participant a receipt evidencing any stock certificate held
      by it registered in the name of the Participant.

                  (iv) The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Stock
      Units shall be reflected in a written Restricted Stock Unit agreement. No
      Shares shall be issued at the time an Award of Restricted Stock Units is
      made, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the
      payment of any such Award. At the discretion of the Committee, each
      Restricted Stock Unit (representing one Share) awarded to a Participant
      may be credited with cash and stock dividends paid in respect of one Share
      ("Dividend Equivalents"). At the discretion of the Committee, Dividend
      Equivalents may be either currently paid to the Participant or withheld by
      the Company for the Participant's account, and interest may be credited on
      the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents withheld at a rate and subject to
      such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents credited
      to a Participant's account and attributable to any particular Restricted
      Stock Unit (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed to
      the Participant upon settlement of such Restricted Stock Unit and, if such
      Restricted Stock Unit is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to
      such Dividend Equivalents.

            (b) Restrictions.

                  (i) Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject
      to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted
      Period and the attainment of any other vesting criteria established by the
      Committee, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in
      the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is
      used, the

<PAGE>

      Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate;
      (B) the Shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set
      forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement; (C) the Shares shall be subject
      to forfeiture to the extent provided in the applicable Restricted Stock
      Agreement and, to the extent such Shares are forfeited, the stock
      certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the
      Participant to such Shares and as a shareholder shall terminate without
      further obligation on the part of the Company.

                  (ii) Restricted Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall
      be subject to (1) forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted Period
      and the attainment of any other vesting criteria established by the
      Committee, to the extent provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit
      agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited,
      all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Stock Units shall
      terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (2)
      such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable
      Restricted Stock Unit agreement.

                  (iii) The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or
      all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
      whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or
      other changes in circumstances arising after the date of the Restricted
      Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, such action is appropriate.

            (c) Restricted Period. The Restricted Period of Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units shall commence on the Date of Grant and shall expire from
time to time as to that part of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
indicated in a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable
Restricted Stock agreement or Restricted Stock Unit agreement.

            (d) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock
Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any Shares
covered by an Award of Restricted Stock and the attainment of any other vesting
criteria established by the Committee, the restrictions set forth in Section
8(b) and the Restricted Stock Agreement shall be of no further force or effect
with respect to shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited.
If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall
deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, the stock
certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been
forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired and any
other vesting criteria established by the Committee has been attained (to the
nearest full share) and any cash dividends or stock dividends credited to the
Participant's account with respect to such Restricted Stock and the interest
thereon, if any.

            Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period and the attainment of
any other vesting criteria established by the Committee, with respect to any
Restricted Stock Units covered by a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Company
shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, one Share
for each Restricted Stock Unit which has not then been forfeited and with
respect to which the Restricted Period has expired and any other such vesting
criteria are attained ("Vested Unit"); provided, however, that, if so noted in
the applicable Restricted Stock Unit agreement, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Shares in lieu of delivering
only Shares for Vested Units. If cash payment is made in lieu of delivering
Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of
the Shares as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to
such Vested Unit.

            (e) Stock Restrictions. Each certificate representing Restricted
Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend until the lapse of all
restrictions with respect to the Shares subject to the Award substantially in
the form set forth below, as well as containing any other information the
Company deems appropriate:

<PAGE>

            Transfer of this certificate and the shares represented hereby is
            restricted pursuant to the terms of the Carnival Corporation 2002
            Stock Plan, as amended from time to time, and a Restricted Stock
            agreement, dated as of _____________, between Carnival Corporation
            and _________________. Copies of such Plan and agreement are on file
            at the offices of Carnival Corporation.

Stop transfer orders shall be entered with the Company's transfer agent and
registrar against the transfer of legended securities.

            (f) Applicability of Section 162(m). With respect to Awards of
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units intended to qualify as
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, this Section
8 (including the substance of the Performance Goals, the timing of establishment
of the Performance Goals, the adjustment of the Performance Goals and
determination of the Award) shall be implemented by the Committee in a manner
designed to preserve such Awards as such "performance-based compensation."

9.    Other Stock Based Awards

      The Committee shall have the right to grant Awards determined in Shares,
or valued with reference to Shares, having such terms and conditions as the
Committee may determine, including the grants of Shares based upon the
attainment of certain conditions, including, without limitation, the payment by
the Participant of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the Date of Grant,
the grant of securities convertible into Shares and the grant of stock
appreciation rights.

10.   General

            (a) Additional Provisions of an Award. Awards granted to a
Participant under the Plan also may be subject to such other provisions (whether
or not applicable to Awards granted to any other Participant) as the Committee
determines appropriate including, without limitation, provisions to assist the
Participant in financing the purchase of Shares upon the exercise of Options
(provided that the Committee determines that providing such financing does not
violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), provisions for the forfeiture of or
restrictions on resale or other disposition of Shares acquired under any Award,
provisions giving the Company the right to repurchase Shares acquired under any
Award in the event the Participant elects to dispose of such Shares, provisions
allowing the Participant to elect to defer the receipt of Shares upon the
exercise of Awards for a specified period or until a specified event, and
provisions to comply with Federal and state securities laws and Federal and
state tax withholding requirements. Any such provisions shall be reflected in
the applicable Award Agreement.

            (b) Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Plan, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership
in respect of Shares which are subject to Awards hereunder until such Shares
have been issued to that person.

            (c) Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company
to issue Shares upon the exercise of Options or otherwise settle Awards in
Shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to
such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any
terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no
obligation to offer to sell or to sell and shall be prohibited from offering to
sell or selling any Shares pursuant to an Award unless such Shares have been
properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of
counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such Shares may be offered or sold
without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the
terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The
Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities
Act any of the Shares to be offered or sold under the Plan. If the Shares
offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold

<PAGE>

pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company
may restrict the transfer of such Shares and may legend the stock certificates
representing such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the
availability of any such exemption.

            (d) Tax Withholding.

                  (i) A Participant may be required to pay to a member of the
Combined Group or any Affiliate, and each member of the Combined Group or any
Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any
Shares or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or
other amounts owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares or other
property) of any required tax withholding and payroll taxes in respect of an
Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan
and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company
to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

                  (ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole
or in part, the foregoing withholding liability (but no more than the minimum
required withholding liability if using method (B) or (C) of this subsection) by
(A) payment in cash; (B) delivery of Shares owned by the Participant (which
Shares must be Mature Shares) with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding
liability or (C) having the Company withhold from the number of Shares otherwise
issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award a number of Shares with a Fair
Market Value equal to such withholding liability.

            (e) Claim to Awards and Employment Rights. No employee of a member
of the Combined Group, an Affiliate, or other person, shall have any claim or
right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the
grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. Neither the
Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant
any right to be retained in the employ or service of a member of the Combined
Group or an Affiliate.

            (f) No Liability of Committee Members. No member of the Committee
shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument
executed by such member or on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the
Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other
employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating
to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or
delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability
(including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such person's
own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board
shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against
any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive
of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled
under the Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, as a matter of law, or
otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them
harmless.

            (g) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of
any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Florida.

            (h) Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for
the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or
place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or
otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank
accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or
separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall
have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the
Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of

<PAGE>

additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same
rights as other employees under general law.

            (i) Nontransferability.

                  (i) Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant
during the Participant's lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by
the Participant's legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned,
alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a
Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale,
transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against each member of
the Combined Group or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a
beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment,
sale, transfer or encumbrance.

                  (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, permit Awards other than Incentive Stock Options to be
transferred by a Participant, without consideration, subject to such rules as
the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award Agreement to
preserve the purposes of the Plan, to:

            (A)   any person who is a "family member" of the Participant, as
                  such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8
                  (collectively, the "Immediate Family Members");

            (B)   a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his or
                  her Immediate Family Members;

            (C)   a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners
                  or shareholders are the Participant and his Immediate Family
                  Members; or

            (D)   any other transferee as may be approved either (a) by the
                  Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, or (b) as
                  provided in the applicable Award Agreement;

(each transferee described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above is hereinafter
referred to as a "Permitted Transferee"); provided that the Participant gives
the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the
proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that
such a transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan.

                  (iii) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and
any reference in the Plan, or in any applicable Award Agreement, to a
Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that
(A) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees
shall not be entitled to exercise a transferred Nonqualified Stock Option unless
there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form
covering the Shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Nonqualified
Stock Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Stock
Option Agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or
appropriate, (C) the Committee or any member of the Combined Group shall not be
required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such
notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant
under the Plan or otherwise, and (D) the consequences of a Participant no longer
being employed by, or in the services of, the a member of the Combined Group or
an Affiliate under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement
shall continue to be applied with respect to the Participant, including, without
limitation, that a Nonqualified Stock Option shall be exercisable by the
Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the
Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

<PAGE>

            (j) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each
member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the
case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in
good faith reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of
the Combined Group and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished
in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself.

            (k) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall
be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement,
profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of a member of the
Combined Group or any Affiliate except as otherwise specifically provided in
such other plan.

            (l) Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne
by the Company and Affiliates.

            (m) Gender and Number. Where the context admits, masculine pronouns
and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women, words in
the singular shall include the plural and words in the plural shall include the
singular.

            (n) Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in
the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any
conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall
control.

            (o) Termination of Employment. For all purposes herein, a person who
transfers from employment or service with a member of the Combined Group to
employment or service with an Affiliate or vice versa shall not be deemed to
have terminated employment or service with a member of the Combined Group or
such Affiliate.

            (p) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award
Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or
any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall
be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it
cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the
Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or Award, such provision
shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award and the remainder of
the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

            (q) Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant may designate one or
more beneficiaries by delivering a signed written designation thereof to the
Committee. Upon the death of a Participant, his beneficiaries shall be entitled
to the Awards granted to such Participant under the terms of this Plan. A
Participant may change his beneficiary designation at any time by delivering a
new designation in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph. Any
designation shall become effective only upon its receipt by the Committee. In
the absence of an effective beneficiary designation in accordance with this
Section 10(p), a Participant's beneficiary shall be his estate. After the
receipt of Options in accordance with this paragraph, beneficiaries will only be
able to exercise such Options in accordance with Section 7(c)(ii) of this Plan.

11.   Changes in Capital Structure

      Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the maximum number
of Shares subject to all Awards stated in Section 5(a) and the maximum number of
Shares with respect to which any one person may be granted Awards during any
period stated in Section 5(d) shall be subject to adjustment or substitution, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as to the number, price or
kind of a share of stock or other consideration subject to such Awards or as
otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of
changes in the outstanding Shares or in the capital structure of the Company by

<PAGE>

reason of stock or extraordinary cash dividends, stock splits, reverse stock
splits, recapitalization, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations,
combinations, exchanges, an unpairing of the shares of Common Stock from the
Trust Shares, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the
Date of Grant of any such Awards or (ii) in the event of any change in
applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result
in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or
available for, Participants, or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment
because it interferes with the intended operation of the Plan. Any adjustment in
Incentive Stock Options under this Section 11 shall be made only to the extent
not constituting a "modification" within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the
Code, and any adjustments under this Section 11 shall be made in a manner which
does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act. Further, with respect to Awards intended to qualify as
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, such
adjustments or substitutions shall be made only to the extent that the Committee
determines that such adjustments or substitutions may be made without causing
the Company to be denied a tax deduction on account of Section 162(m) of the
Code. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder
and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes.

      Notwithstanding the above, in the event of any of the following:

      A. The Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation or
entity and, in connection therewith, consideration is received by shareholders
of the Company in a form other than stock or other equity interests of the
surviving entity;

      B. All or substantially all of the assets of the Company are acquired by
another person;

      C. The reorganization or liquidation of the Company; or

      D. The Company shall enter into a written agreement to undergo an event
described in clauses A, B or C above,

then the Committee may, in its discretion and upon at least 10 days advance
notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and cause the
holders thereof to be paid, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof, the
value of such Awards based upon the price per share of the shares of stock or
other consideration received or to be received by other shareholders of the
Company in the event. The terms of this Section 11 may be varied by the
Committee in any particular Award Agreement.

12.   Effect of Change of Control

      Except to the extent a particular Award Agreement otherwise provides:

            (a) In the event of a Change of Control, notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary, all Options shall become immediately
exercisable with respect to 100 percent of the Shares subject to such Option,
and the Restricted Period shall expire immediately with respect to 100 percent
of the shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (including a waiver
of any applicable Performance Goals) and, to the extent practicable, such
acceleration of exercisability and expiration of the Restricted Period (as
applicable) shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected
Participants the ability to participate in the Change in Control transaction
with respect to the Shares subject to their Awards.

            (b) In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee
may in its discretion and upon at least 10 days' advance notice to the affected
persons, cancel any outstanding Award and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or
stock, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price
per Share received or to be received by other shareholders of the Company in the
event.

<PAGE>

            (c) The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding
upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor
corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and
business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate
provisions for the preservation of Participants' rights under the Plan in any
agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger,
consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.

13.   Nonexclusivity of the Plan

      Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this
Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as
creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements
may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

14.   Amendments and Termination

            (a) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any
time; provided that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation
or termination shall be made without shareholder approval if such approval is
necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the
Plan (including as necessary to prevent the Company from being denied a tax
deduction on account of Section 162(m) of the Code); and provided further that
any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that
would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any
Option theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the
consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

            (b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may waive any
conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue,
cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award
Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver,
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination
that would impair the rights of any Participant, holder or beneficiary in
respect of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective
without the consent of the affected Participant; and provided further that,
without stockholder approval, the Committee may not take any action that results
in the "repricing" of any Option granted under the Plan. For purposes of this
Section 13(b) a "repricing" means any of the following (or any other action that
has the same effect of any of the following): (i) amending or modifying the
terms of an Option after the Date of Grant in a manner that reduces the Option
Price of such Option; (ii) any other action that would either (A) be reportable
on the Company's proxy statement as Options which have been "repriced" (as such
term is used in Item 402 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act)
or (B) results in an Option being considered repriced under generally accepted
accounting principles; or (iii) canceling an Option at time when its Option
Price is equal to or less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to
the Option, in exchange for another Option, Restricted Stock Award or any other
equity-based award. A cancellation and exchange described in clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence will be considered a "repricing" regardless of whether (x)
the Option, Restricted Stock Award or other equity-based award is delivered
simultaneously with the cancellation of the Option, (y) it is reportable as a
repricing in the Company's proxy statement or under generally accepted
accounting principles, and (z) the cancellation of the Option was voluntary on
the part of the Participant.
