            WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the amended and restated Carnival
            Corporation 2002 Stock Plan pursuant to which awards of restricted Shares may be
            granted; and

            
            WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant Executive an award of restricted
            Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the LTCA and the Plan.

            
            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
            forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

            
                	
                            
                            1.

                        	
                            
                            Grant of Restricted
                            Stock.

                        

            

            
            Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, the LTCA and
            in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to Executive a Restricted Stock Award
            consisting of ____ Shares (the “Restricted

            restrictions described herein, including forfeiture under the circumstances described
            in Section 5 hereof (the
            “Restrictions”). The
            Restrictions shall lapse and the Restricted Stock shall become nonforfeitable in
            accordance with Section 3 and Section 5 hereof.

            
                	
                            
                            2.

                        	
                            
                            Incorporation by Reference, Etc.

                        

            

            
            The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
            Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in
            accordance with the provisions of the LTCA and the Plan. Any capitalized terms not
            otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan.
            The terms of the LTCA shall control in the event of a conflict with the provisions of
            this Agreement or the Plan. The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and
            construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them,
            and its decision shall be binding and conclusive upon Executive and his legal
            representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this
            Agreement.

            
                 
            

             

            
            

            

            

            	
                        
                        3.

                    	
                        
                        Lapse of Restriction.

                    

            
            Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, and contingent upon
            Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Restrictions with respect
            to the Restricted Stock shall lapse on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the authority to remove the
            Restrictions on the Restricted Stock whenever it may determine that, by reason of
            changes in applicable laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the Grant
            Date, such action is appropriate.

            
            Any shares of Restricted Stock for which the Restrictions have lapsed or
            been removed shall be referred to hereunder as “released
            Restricted Stock.”

            Certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall be issued by the
            Company and shall be registered in Executive 's name on the stock transfer books of the
            Company promptly after the date hereof. Subject to Section 6 hereof, the certificates
            evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the physical custody of Executive or
            Executive’s legal representative at all times prior to the date such Restricted
            Stock becomes released Restricted Stock.

            
                	
                            
                            5.

                            Employment.

                        

            

            
            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all unreleased
            Restricted Stock issued hereunder shall be forfeited upon the occurrence of any event
            set forth in Section 3 of Executive’s LTCA. In addition, in the event the
            Executive terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Restrictions on the
            Restricted Stock shall lapse on the date of Executive’s death or Disability and
            the Restricted Stock shall become Released Restricted Stock.

            Executive shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock unless and
            until such shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 or 5 hereof, and as record owner
            shall be entitled to all rights of a common shareholder of the Company;
            provided that the Restricted Stock shall be
            subject to the limitations on transfer and encumbrance set forth in this Agreement. As
            soon as practicable following the lapse or removal of Restrictions on any Restricted
            Stock, Executive shall return the certificate representing such released Restricted
            Stock to the company and the Company shall deliver to Executive or Executive’s
            legal representative a replacement certificate for such released Restricted Stock with
            the restrictive legend removed. In the event the Restricted Stock is forfeited pursuant
            to Section 5 hereof, Executive shall immediately return the certificate evidencing such
            forfeited unreleased Restricted Stock to the Company and Executive's name shall be
            removed from the stock transfer books of the Company.

BACKGROUND

          From

For that reason, and in consideration of Farm Credit making one or more loans
to the Company, Farm Credit and the Company
agree as follows:

          SECTION
1. Supplements. In
the event the Company desires to borrow from Farm Credit and Farm Credit is willing to lend to the Company,
or in the event Farm Credit and the Company desire to consolidate any existing loans hereunder, the
parties will enter into a Supplement to this agreement (a “Supplement”). Each Supplement will set forth the
amount of the loan, the purpose of the loan, the interest rate or rate options applicable to that loan, the repayment
terms of the loan, and any other terms and conditions applicable to that
particular loan. Each loan will be governed by the terms and conditions contained in this agreement and in the Supplement
relating to the loan.

          SECTION
2. Sale of Participation Interests and Appointment of Administrative Agent. The Company acknowledges that concurrent with
the execution of this Master Loan Agreement and related Supplements, Farm Credit is selling a participation interest in

January 30, 2007, (“Agency Agreement”),
Farm Credit and CoBank appointed CoBank to act as Administrative Agent (“Agent”)

any security documents to be executed
thereunder. All funds to be advanced hereunder shall be made by Agent, all
repayments by the Company hereunder
shall be made to Agent, and all notices to be made to Farm Credit hereunder
shall be made to Agent. Agent shall
be solely responsible for the administration of this agreement, the Supplements and the security documents to be
executed by the Company thereunder and the enforcement of all rights and remedies of Farm Credit
hereunder and thereunder. Company acknowledges the appointment of the Agent and consents to such
appointment.

          SECTION
3. Availability. Loans will be made available on any day on which Agent
and the Federal Reserve Banks are open for business upon the telephonic or
written request of the Company. Requests for loans must be received no later

will be made available by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
account or
accounts as may be authorized by the Company. The Company shall furnish to

and executed copy of a CoBank Delegation and Wire and Electronic Transfer
Authorization Form of the Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to rely on (and
shall incur no liability to the Company in acting on) any request or direction furnished in
accordance with the terms thereof.

          SECTION
4. Repayment. The Company’s obligation to repay each loan shall be

                    (C)     
Certain Affirmative Covenants. The Company or, to the
extent required hereunder, any Subsidiary should fail to perform or comply with
Sections 9(A) through 9(H)(ii), 9(H)(vi) through 9(H)(viii) or any reporting

accelerating
or permitting the acceleration of such indebtedness or obligation, whether or
not such indebtedness or obligation is actually accelerated or the right to

otherwise.

                    (G)     Judgments.
A judgment, decree, or order for the payment of money shall be rendered against
the Company or any Subsidiary and either: (i) enforcement proceedings shall have

agreement, maintenance agreement, or other agreement furnished in connection
with the Company’s obligations hereunder and under any Supplement shall, at any
time, cease to be in full force and effect, or shall be revoked or declared
null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by
the guarantor, surety or other maker thereof (the “Guarantor”), or the
Guarantor shall deny any further liability or obligation thereunder, or shall
fail to perform its obligations thereunder, or any representation or warranty

          SECTION
13. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default or any Potential Default, Farm Credit shall have
no obligation to continue to extend credit to the Company and may discontinue
doing so at any time without prior notice. For all purposes hereof, the term
“Potential Default” means the occurrence of any event which, with the passage
of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Event of Default. In
addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Farm Credit or Agent may, upon notice to the Company, terminate any
commitment and declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the loans, all
accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts payable under this agreement,
all Supplements, and the other Loan Documents to be immediately due and
payable. Upon such a declaration, the unpaid principal balance of the loans and
all such other amounts shall become immediately due and payable, without
protest, presentment, demand, or further notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Company. In addition, upon such an acceleration:

	
 

	
 

	
Master Loan
 Agreement RI0457

	
-12-

                         (A)     Enforcement.
Farm Credit or Agent may proceed to protect, exercise, and enforce such rights
and remedies as may be provided by this agreement, any other Loan Document or
under Law. Each and every one of such rights and remedies shall be cumulative
and may be exercised from time to time, and no failure on the part of Farm
Credit or Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy
shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any
right or remedy shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof, or the
exercise of any other right. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may hold
and/or set off and apply against the Company’s obligations to Farm Credit cash
collateral held by Farm Credit or Agent, or any balances held by Farm Credit or
Agent for the Company’s account (whether or not such balances are then due).

                         (B)     Application
of Funds. Agent may apply all payments received by it
to the Company’s obligations to Farm Credit in such order and manner as Agent
may elect in its sole discretion.

In addition to
the rights and remedies set forth above: (i) if the Company fails to purchase
any equity in Farm Credit when required or fails to make any payment to Agent
when due, then at Agent’s option in each instance, such payment shall bear
interest from the date due to the date paid at 4% per annum in excess of the
rate(s) of interest that would otherwise be in effect on that loan; and (ii)
after the maturity of any loan (whether as a result of acceleration or
otherwise), the unpaid principal balance of such loan (including without
limitation, principal, interest, fees and expenses) shall automatically bear
interest at 4% per annum in excess of the rate(s) of interest that would
otherwise be in effect on that loan. All interest provided for herein shall be
payable on demand and shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of
360 days.

          SECTION
14. Broken Funding Surcharge. Notwithstanding any
provision contained in any Supplement giving the Company the right to repay any
loan prior to the date it would otherwise be due and payable, the Company
agrees that in the event it repays any fixed rate balance prior to its
scheduled due date or prior to the last day of the fixed rate period applicable
thereto (whether such payment is made voluntarily, as a result of an
acceleration, or otherwise), the Company will pay to Agent a surcharge in an
amount equal to the greater of: (i) an amount which would result in Farm
Credit, Agent, and all subparticipants being made whole (on a present value
basis) for the actual or imputed funding losses incurred by Farm Credit, Agent,
and all subparticipants as a result thereof; or (ii) $300.00. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event any fixed rate balance is repaid as a result of the
Company refinancing the loan with another lender or by other means, then in
lieu of the foregoing, the Company shall pay to Agent a surcharge in an amount
sufficient (on a present value basis) to enable Farm Credit, Agent, and all
subparticipants to maintain the yield they would have earned during the fixed
rate period on the amount repaid. Such surcharges will be calculated in
accordance with methodology established by Farm Credit, Agent, and all
subparticipants (copies of which will be made available to the Company upon
request).

          SECTION
15. Complete Agreement, Amendments. This agreement,
all Supplements, and all other instruments and documents contemplated hereby
and thereby, are intended by the parties to be a complete and final expression
of their agreement. No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision
hereof or thereof, and no consent to any departure by the Company herefrom or
therefrom, shall be effective unless approved by Agent and contained in a
writing signed by or on behalf of Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given. In the event this agreement is amended or restated, each such
amendment or restatement shall be applicable to all Supplements hereto.

the event the parties desire to do so under the terms of this agreement, such

          SECTION

applicable federal law, this agreement and each Supplement shall be governed by

reference to choice of law doctrine.

19. Taxes and Expenses. To
the extent allowed by law, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel
retained or employed by Agent, including expenses of in-house counsel of Agent)
incurred by Agent and any participants from Farm Credit in connection with the
origination, administration, collection, and enforcement of this agreement and

incurred in perfecting, maintaining, determining the priority of, and releasing
any security for the Company’s obligations to Farm Credit, and any stamp,
intangible, transfer, or like tax payable in connection with this agreement or
any other Loan Document.

          SECTION
20. Effectiveness and Severability. This agreement shall continue in effect until: (i) all indebtedness and
obligations of the Company under this agreement, all Supplements, and all other
Loan Documents shall have been paid or satisfied; (ii) Agent has no commitment
to extend credit to or for the account of the Company under any Supplement; and
(iii) either party sends written notice to the other terminating this
agreement. Any provision of this agreement or any other Loan Document which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,

          SECTION
21. Successors and Assigns. This agreement, each
Supplement, and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and Farm Credit and their respective successors and assigns,
except that the Company may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations
under this agreement, any Supplement or any other Loan Document without the
prior written consent of Agent.

          SECTION
22. Participations, Etc. From time to time, Farm
Credit may sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other lenders a
participation in one or more of the loans or other extensions of credit made
pursuant to this agreement. However, no such participation shall relieve Farm
Credit of any commitment made to the Company under any Supplement hereto. In
connection with the foregoing, Farm Credit may disclose information concerning
the Company and its Subsidiaries to any participant or prospective participant,
provided that such participant or prospective participant agrees to keep such
information confidential. Farm Credit agrees that all Loans that are made by
Farm Credit and that are retained for its own account or repurchased may be
entitled to patronage distributions in accordance with the bylaws of Farm
Credit and its practices and procedures related to patronage distribution.
Accordingly, all Loans that are included in a sale of participation interest
and not retained or repurchased shall not be entitled to patronage
distributions from Farm Credit. A sale of participation interest may include
certain voting rights of the participants regarding the loans hereunder
(including without limitation the administration, servicing and enforcement
thereof). Farm Credit agrees to give written notification to the Company of any
sale of participation interests.

          SECTION
23. Counterparts. This agreement, each Supplement and
any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all

taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          SECTION
24. Administrative Fee. The Company agrees to pay to
Agent on November 30, 2007, and on each November 30 thereafter, for as long as
the Company has commitments from Farm Credit, an administrative fee in the
amount of $25,000.00.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this
agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date shown
