(i) a US Dollar facility in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Tranche A Commitments;
(ii) a Sterling facility in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Tranche B Commitments;
(iii) a euro facility in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Tranche C Commitments; and
(iv) a US Dollar facility in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Tranche D Commitments.
(b) Each Lender under Tranche C which lends to Borrowers incorporated in Italy must be a Qualifying Lender (as defined in Clause 18.10) unless such Lender has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender by reason of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority.
(c) If a Borrower is incorporated in Italy, that Borrower may only request a Loan under Tranche C.
2.2 Increase
(a) The Company may by giving prior notice to the Facilities Agent after the effective date of a cancellation of:
(i) the Available Commitment and/or the Available Swingline Commitment of a Defaulting Lender (or its Affiliate) in accordance with Clause 13.6(g) (Involuntary prepayment and cancellation and replacement of Lender);
(ii) the Available Commitment and/or the Available Swingline Commitment of a Lender (or its Affiliate) in accordance with paragraphs (a) to (f) of Clause 13.6 (Involuntary prepayment and cancellation and replacement of Lender); or
(iii) the Commitments of a Lender (or its Affiliate) in accordance with Clause 13.1 (Mandatory prepayment - illegality),
request that the Total Commitments or the relevant Swingline Commitments be increased (and the Total Commitments under that Facility or the relevant Swingline Commitments shall be so increased) in an aggregate amount in the Base Currency of up to the amount of the Available Commitments or Available Swingline Commitment so cancelled as follows:
(iv) the increased Commitments and/or relevant Swingline Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks or financial institutions (each an Increase Lender) selected by the Company (each of which shall not be a member of the Carnival Corporation & plc Group) and each of which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Defaulting Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Commitments and/or relevant Swingline Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender;
Page 28

(v) each of the Obligors and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;
(vi) each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and (where appropriate) “Swingline Lender” and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;
(vii) the Commitments and Swingline Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect; and
(viii) any increase in the Total Commitments and/or the relevant Swingline Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Company in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the conditions set out in paragraph (b) below are satisfied.
(b) An increase in the Total Commitments and/or the relevant Swingline Commitments will only be effective on:
(i) the execution by the Facilities Agent of an Increase Confirmation from the relevant Increase Lender; and
(ii) in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase the performance by the Facilities Agent of all necessary “know your customer”
or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Commitments and/or the relevant Swingline Commitments by that Increase Lender, the completion of which the Facilities Agent shall promptly notify to the Company and the Increase Lender.
(c) No Swingline Commitment of a Lender may exceed the Commitment of that Lender or its Affiliate pursuant to the operation of this Clause 2.2. Accordingly where the Swingline Commitments are to be increased pursuant to this Clause to replace Swingline Commitments of a Swingline Lender that have been cancelled pursuant to Clause 13.6(g) (Involuntary prepayment and cancellation and replacement of Lender) or Clause 13.1 (Mandatory prepayment - illegality) without a commensurate cancellation of the Commitments of that Swingline Lender’s Affiliate being required at the time of such cancellation, that Affiliate shall (to the extent of its Commitments at the time of the increase in Swingline Commitments) be required to transfer its Commitments to the relevant Increase Lender (or its Affiliate) on the terms provided for in Clause 41.6 (Replacement of a Defaulting Lender) to the extent necessary to ensure that the Commitments of the Increase Lender (or its Affiliate) are at least equal to each of the Swingline Commitments assumed by that Increase Lender.
(d) Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Facilities Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the increase becomes effective.
(e) Unless the Facilities Agent otherwise agrees or the increased Commitment and/or Swingline Commitment is assumed by an existing Lender, the Company shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Facilities Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD3,500 and promptly on demand pay to the Facilities Agent the amount of all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by it in connection with any increase in Commitments under this Clause 2.2.
(f) The Company may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the Company and the Increase Lender in a letter between the Company and the Increase Lender setting out that fee. A reference in this Agreement to a Fee Letter shall include any letter referred to in this paragraph.
(g) Clause 29.3 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to:
Page 29

(i) an Existing Lender were references to all the Lenders immediately prior to the relevant increase;
(ii) the New Lender were references to that Increase Lender; and
(iii) a re-transfer and re-assignment were references to respectively a transfer and
assignment.
2.3 Finance Parties’ rights and obligations
(a) The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.
(b) The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance
Party from an Obligor is a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with paragraph (c) below. The rights of each Finance party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, any part of a Loan or any other amount owed by an Obligor which relates to a Finance Party’s participation in the Facilities or its role under a Finance Document (including any such amount payable to the Facilities Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Obligor.
(c) A Finance Party may, except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under or in connection with the Finance Documents.
2.4 Obligors’ Agent
(a) Each Obligor (other than the Company, Costa Crociere S.p.A. and any other Obligor incorporated in Italy) by its execution of this Agreement, an Accession Letter or a Subsidiary Deed of Guarantee irrevocably appoints the Company to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents and irrevocably authorises:
(i) the Company on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Borrower, Utilisation Requests), to execute on its behalf any Accession Letter, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and
(ii) each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents to the Company,
and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the notices and instructions (including without limitation, any Utilisation Requests) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.
(b) Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligors’ Agent or given to the Obligors’ Agent under any Finance Document on behalf of another Obligor or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such Obligor became an Obligor under any Finance Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Obligors’ Agent and any other Obligor, those of the Obligors’ Agent shall prevail.

(b) If on any Test Date – Bonds (i) the Test Total – Bonds of any Tranche D Lender exceeds (ii) that Tranche D Lender’s Tranche D Commitment, each of the Bond Borrowers will, if requested by that Tranche D Lender within three Business Days of the Test Date – Bonds, ensure that within three Business Days of receipt of such request either (at the discretion of the Bond Borrowers):
(i) sufficient Bonds are cancelled so that the Test Total – Bonds of that Tranche D Lender does not exceed its Tranche D Commitment; and/or
(ii) that Tranche D Lender receives cash cover in US Dollars which when aggregated with all other amounts then held by it (or any of its Affiliates) as cash cover under this Agreement, will result in that Tranche D Lender (or any of its Affiliates) holding cash cover in an amount not less than the amount by which the Test Total – Bonds of that Tranche D Lender exceeds its Tranche D Commitment.
Page 35

(c) If on any Test Date - Bonds (i) any Tranche D Lender’s Tranche D Commitment exceed (ii) the Test Total – Bonds of that Tranche D Lender, that Tranche D Lender shall to the extent that it (or any of its Affiliates) holds cash cover as a result of the operation of paragraph (b)(ii) repay to the Bond Borrowers (or other relevant Obligors) an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such excess and the amount of such cash cover held by it (or any of its Affiliates).

7.1 Immediately payable
(a) If a claim is made under a Bond, the Bond Borrower which requested that Bond shall pay to the Facilities Agent for the account of the relevant Tranche D Lender(s) the amount of that claim promptly and in any event within three Business Days of demand.
(b) If the relevant Bond Borrower does not repay such amount in full within three Business Days of demand by the relevant Tranche D Lender(s):
(i) subject to Subclause (iv) below, the Bond Borrower will on the immediately following Business Day be deemed to have delivered a Loan Utilisation Request under Tranche D for a Loan Utilisation in an amount equal to, and in the same currency as, the amount
demanded under paragraph (a) above with an Interest Period of two weeks and a Utilisation Date of the Business Day following the deemed date of the Loan Utilisation Request;
(ii) the amount of each Lender’s share in the Loan Utilisation shall be determined in accordance with Clause 5.4;

(iv) in any case where the Bond Borrower is not permitted under this Agreement to utilise Tranche D by way of Loan, the Loan Utilisation shall be deemed requested under Tranche C (or another Tranche under which it is permitted to utilise Loans), provided that if the amount of the Utilisation would exceed the Available Tranche C Facility (or other relevant Available Commitment) then the amount of such excess shall constitute a Loan Utilisation by Carnival plc under Tranche D (and then Tranche A, then Tranche B to the extent that Loan Utilisation under Tranche D exceeds the Available Tranche D Facility) in each case with an Interest Period of two weeks.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in any case where it is not possible for a Loan Utilisation to be deemed to have been made pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the failure by the relevant Bond Borrower to repay the amount demanded under paragraph (a) above within three Business Days of demand shall constitute a failure to pay for the purposes of Clause 28.1 (Non-payment) of this Agreement.
7.2 Claims under a Bond

(b) The relevant Tranche D Lender shall examine the claim made under any Bond in accordance with the criteria set out in the Rules by which that Bond is stated to be governed and accordingly the responsibility of the relevant Tranche D Lender shall be limited to ascertaining that the documents constituting the claim appear on their face to be in accordance
Page 36

with the relevant Bond, properly completed and in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and, subject to the terms of the Bond, the relevant Rules.
(c) Each Bond Borrower acknowledges that the relevant Tranche D Lender:
(i) is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any confirmation from any other person before paying a claim other than set out in paragraph (b); and
(ii) deals in documents only and will not be concerned with the legality of a claim or any underlying transaction or any available set-off, counterclaim or other defence of any person.
(d) Without prejudice to the limits on the liability of the Borrower under Clause 7.3(a) or against any Tranche D Lender at law, the obligations of a Bond Borrower under this Clause 7 will not be affected by:
(i) the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any claim or any other document; or
(ii) any incapacity of, or limitation on the powers of, any person signing a claim or other document.
7.3 Indemnities
(a) Each Bond Borrower shall immediately on demand indemnify the relevant Tranche D Lender against any cost, loss or liability incurred by that Lender (otherwise than by reason of that Tranche D Lender’s breach of this Agreement, gross negligence or wilful misconduct) as a direct consequence of, or in the performance of its obligations or the exercise of its rights under, any Bond requested by that Bond Borrower or on its behalf.
(b) The obligations of each Borrower under this Clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by that Borrower in respect of any Bond, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
(c) The obligations of any Borrower under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any other person) including:
(i) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Bond or other person;
(ii) the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;
(iii) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Bond or other person or any non-presentation or non- observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;
(iv) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor, any beneficiary under a Bond or any other person;
(v) any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance Document, any Bond or any other document or security;
(vi) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document, any Bond or any other document or security; or

14. INTEREST
14.1 Calculation of interest – Term Rate Loans

(a) Margin;
(b) Term Reference Rate; and
(c) (in the case of a Term Rate Loan denominated in US Dollars only) USD Credit Adjustment Spread,
provided that (in the case of a Term Rate Loan denominated in US Dollars only) if the aggregate of paragraphs (b) and (c) above is less than zero, then such aggregate amount shall be deemed to be zero.
14.2 Calculation of interest – RFR Loans
(a) The rate of interest on each RFR Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) for any day during an Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:
(i) Margin; and
(ii) Compounded Reference Rate for that day.
(b) If any day during an Interest Period for an RFR Loan is not an RFR Banking Day, the rate of interest on that RFR Loan for that day will be the rate applicable to the immediately preceding RFR Banking Day.
14.3 Payment of interest
The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period and, if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period.
14.4 Interest on overdue amounts
(a) If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Facilities Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.
(b) Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facilities Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facilities Agent (acting reasonably) of up to three months.
Page 51

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount consists of all or part of a Term Rate Loan and which became due and payable on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan, then:
(i) the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period for that Loan; and
(ii) the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Interest Period will be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.
After the expiry of the first Interest Period for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above.
(d) Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.
(e) The amount of interest on overdue amounts payable by an Italian Obligor under this Agreement will only be compounded in accordance with and to the extent permitted by article 1283 of the Italian Civil Code and article 120 of the Italian Banking Act (and any relevant implementing regulations), each as amended, supplemented or implemented from time to time.

rate per annum specified in Column 2 as set out opposite the Carnival Credit Rating at the relevant time by Moody’s and S&P specified in Column 1 below.
Page 52

Column 1 - Carnival Credit Rating | Column 2 Margin % p.a.

A-/A3 | 0.225
BBB+/Baa1 | 0.30
BBB/Baa2 | 0.45

(e) Subject to paragraphs (i) and (j) below, the applicable Margin will be adjusted depending on the CO 2 Performance, as follows:
(i) if the CO 2 Emissions Rate in respect of a financial year ending 30 November falls within the ‘Outperform target’ column of the definition of ‘CO 2 Performance’, the Margin will be reduced by 0.025 per cent. per annum;
(ii) if the CO 2 Emissions Rate in respect of a financial year ending 30 November falls within the ‘Within target range’ column of the definition of ‘CO 2 Performance’, the Margin will not be subject to adjustment; and

(f) For the purposes of this Agreement, any reduction or increase in the Margin shall be determined on, and shall take effect from, the Business Day immediately following:
(i) in the case of a reduction or increase based on the Carnival Credit Rating, the date of publication of the relevant change to the Carnival Credit Rating; and
(ii) in the case of a reduction or increase based on CO 2 Performance, subject to paragraph
(i) below, the date that the relevant Assurance Statement is delivered to the Facilities Agent pursuant to Clause 25.4 (Assurance Statement) of this Agreement.

(h) For the purposes of paragraph (e) above, the CO 2 Performance for each financial year ending 30 November will be determined by reference to the Assurance Statement in respect of that financial year which is to be delivered pursuant to Clause 25.4 (Assurance Statement) by no later than 30 June in the following financial year.
Page 53

(i) If the Company fails to comply with its obligation pursuant to Clause 25.4 (Assurance Statement) to supply an Assurance Statement by 30 June in any year (unless such failure is as a result of the circumstances described in paragraph (j) below) then the CO 2 Performance shall be deemed for the purposes of paragraph (e) above to fall within the ‘Below target’ column of the definition of ‘CO 2 Performance’ until such time that the Company delivers an Assurance Statement which shows there should be a decrease in Margin following which the Margin will be adjusted in accordance with paragraph (e) above, such adjustment to take effect from the Business Day immediately following the date that the relevant Assurance Statement is delivered to the Facilities Agent.
(j) In the event that the Termination Date is extended pursuant to paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of Clause 10 (Extension option), the Company and the Facilities Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) agree to negotiate in good faith for a period of not more than 30 days, to agree the CO 2 Performance target levels for the period from:

(e) above.
(k) For the purpose of this Clause 14.6, Carnival Credit Rating means, in respect of Moody’s or S&P:

18.9 Taxes
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if an Obligor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Clause 18.9) the Facilities Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) that Obligor shall make such deductions and (iii) that Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender, or by the Facilities Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such certificate shall include a description in reasonable detail of the Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which the indemnity is being demanded and the calculation in reasonable detail of the amount of such indemnity. The Facilities Agent and each Lender agrees to use its reasonable endeavours to complete any procedural formalities necessary for the Facilities Agent and the Lender to obtain a credit against any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax or any relief or remission for an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax (or its repayment). Notwithstanding any contrary provision under the Finance Documents, the Facilities Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, shall have no obligation to contest the imposition or assertion of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by an Obligor to a Governmental Authority, the Obligor shall deliver to the Facilities Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment (if such a receipt is reasonably obtainable from such Governmental Authority), a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Facilities Agent.
(e) The Facilities Agent will deliver to the Company, and each Lender will deliver to the Facilities Agent and the Company, on or before the first Utilisation Date (or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender after the first Utilisation Date, on or before such later date on which such Lender becomes a Lender) such properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service form (Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8IMY, or W-9, as applicable) as will demonstrate, in accordance with applicable regulations, that payments of interest by an Obligor to the Facilities Agent for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Agreement will be exempt from (or entitled to a reduction in the rate of) United States federal withholding taxes. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Obligor is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Facilities Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such other properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company (including any replacement or successor form) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that
Page 65

such Foreign Lender has received prior written notice from the Company advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and containing all applicable documentation.
(f) If the Facilities Agent or a Lender determines that it has received a refund of or Tax Credit for any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an Obligor or with respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Clause 18.9, it shall pay over such refund or Tax Credit to that Obligor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Obligor under this Clause 18.9 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or Tax Credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Facilities Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or Tax Credit); provided, that the Obligor, upon the request of the Facilities Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Facilities Agent or such Lender to the extent that the Facilities Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Clause 18.9 shall not be construed to require the Facilities Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Obligor or any other person.
(g) If an Obligor is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Clause 18.9, then the Obligor may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Facilities Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Clause 29), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Obligor shall have received the prior written consent of the Facilities Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its share in the Utilisations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligor (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to this Clause 18.9, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Obligor to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(a) Any amount (including costs and expenses) expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must
pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party shall as soon as reasonably practicable provide an appropriate value added tax invoice to that Party).
(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(c) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
Page 73

(d) Any reference in this Clause 18.24 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).
(e) In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply

(b) Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Company, the Facilities Agent and the other Finance Parties.
(c) Subject to paragraph (e) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:
(i) confirm to that other Party whether it is:
(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(iii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.
(d) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.
(e) Paragraph (c) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:
(i) any law or regulation;
(ii) any fiduciary duty; or
(iii) any duty of confidentiality.
(f) If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (e) above applies), then if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until (in each case) such time as
Page 74

the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.
(g) If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, or where the Facilities Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

supply to the Facilities Agent:
(i) a withholding certificate on Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or any successor form) (as applicable); or
(ii) any withholding statement and other documentation, authorisations, waivers and other withholding certificates as the Facilities Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA.
The Facilities Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers it receives from a Lender pursuant to this paragraph
(g) to the Company and shall be entitled to rely on any such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided without further verification. The Facilities Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this paragraph (g).
(h) Each Lender agrees that if any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided to the Facilities Agent pursuant to paragraph (f) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, it shall promptly update such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or promptly notify the Facilities Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

29. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS
29.1 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders
(a) A Lender (the Existing Lender) may, subject to the provisions of this Clause 29, at any time assign or transfer (including by way of novation) any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other bank or financial institution (the New Lender) provided that where the Existing Lender is a Lender under Tranche C and/or a Swingline Lender, such New Lender is able to perform that function or those functions in the same manner as the Existing Lender to the extent of the commitment transferred, and provided that such assignment or transfer shall be of an amount not less than EUR 1,000,000 or equivalent amount.
(b) The consent of the Company is required for any assignment or transfer unless: (i)
(A) the New Lender is another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and
(B) following such assignment or transfer no Borrower would be obliged to pay any greater amount under Clause 18 (Taxes), Clause 19 (Increased Costs) or any other provision of a Finance Document, in the circumstances existing at the time of such assignment or transfer or which, at the time of such assignment or transfer, the Existing Lender or the New Lender knows will apply in the 12 month period following such assignment or transfer, than would have been payable but for the assignment or transfer; or
(ii) an Event of Default has occurred and has been outstanding for fifteen Business Days or more.
(c) A Tranche D Lender may not assign or transfer any obligations under an outstanding Bond without the consent of the Company.
(d) The Company may, at any time, remove or replace any Tranche D Lender (in its capacity as Tranche D Lender) without the consent of the Facilities Agent or any of the other Lenders, by notice to that Tranche D Lender and the Facilities Agent, and (in the case of a replacement) a Lender (or Lenders) with a Tranche A Commitment (other than a Non-Eligible Tranche D
Page 99

Lender) selected by the Company (Replacement A Lender). Where the Company is replacing a Tranche D Lender, the notice shall require:
(i) that Tranche D Lender to (and, to the extent permitted by law, that Tranche D Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under Tranche D to the Replacement A Lender which will assume all the obligations of that Tranche D Lender in relation to its Tranche D Commitment in accordance with Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders); and
(ii) the Replacement A Lender to (and, to the extent permitted by law, that Replacement A Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) its rights and obligations under the Tranche A Commitment held by such Replacement A Lender in an amount equal to the Tranche D Lender’s Tranche D Commitment (the Transferring
A Commitment) to the Tranche D Lender which will assume all the obligations of the transferring Replacement A Lender in relation to its Transferring A Commitment in accordance with Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders),
provided that the amount of the Transferring A Commitment shall not be greater than the Replacement A Lender’s total Tranche A Commitment less its Swingline Tranche A Commitment.
(e) The consent of the Company must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to any request for consent under this Clause 29. It will not be unreasonable for the Company to withhold consent where following an assignment or transfer, a Borrower would be obliged to pay any greater amount under Clause 18 (Taxes), Clause 19 (Increased Costs) or any other provision of a Finance Document if, in the circumstances existing at the time of such assignment or transfer, such greater amount would not have been payable but for the assignment or transfer or which, at the time of such assignment or transfer, the Existing Lender or the New Lender knows will apply in the 12 month period following such assignment or transfer. The Company will be deemed to have given its consent 10 Business Days after the Company is given notice of the request unless it is expressly refused by the Company within that time.
(f) A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either:
(i) the obligations are novated in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause; or
(ii) the New Lender confirms to the Facilities Agent and the Company in form and substance satisfactory to the Facilities Agent that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. On the transfer becoming effective in this manner the Existing Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender.
(g) Unless the Facilities Agent otherwise agrees, the New Lender must pay to the Facilities Agent, for its own account, on or before the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, a fee of USD3,500.
(h) Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement.
29.2 Procedure for transfer
(a) In this Subclause:
Transfer Date means, for a Transfer Certificate, the latest of:
(a) the proposed Transfer Date specified in that Transfer Certificate;
(b) the date on which the Facilities Agent executes that Transfer Certificate; and
(c) the date on which the consent of the Company, if required under Clause 29.1(b), is obtained or is deemed to have been given.
(b) A novation is effected if:
Page 100

(i) the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facilities Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and
(ii) the Facilities Agent executes it.
The Facilities Agent must execute as soon as reasonably practicable a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order.
(c) The Facilities Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender upon its satisfactory completion of all “know your customer” checks that it is required to carry out in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.
(d) Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facilities Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf. A Transfer Certificate shall not be duly completed unless any and all consents required under this Agreement have been obtained or deemed obtained.
(e) On the Transfer Date:
(i) the New Lender will assume the rights and obligations of the Existing Lender expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Transfer Certificate in substitution for the Existing Lender;
(ii) the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and cease to have those rights; and
(iii) the Lenders and the New Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Lenders and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement.
(f) Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, further represents that it is a “professional market party” (professionele marktpartij), as that term is used in the Netherlands Financial Supervision Act (wet op het financieel toezicht).
29.3 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders
(a) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for the legality, validity, adequacy, accuracy, completeness or performance of:
(i) any Finance Document or any other document; or
(ii) any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or supplied in connection with any Finance Document,
and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.
(b) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:
(i) has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and
(ii) has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document.
(c) Nothing in any Finance Document requires an Existing Lender to:
(i) accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause; or
Page 101

(ii) support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise.
29.4 Costs resulting from change of Lender or Facility Office
If:
(a) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and
(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, (or which such Lender knows will apply in the following 12 month period) an Obligor would be obliged to pay an amount under Clause 18 (Taxes), Clause 19 (Increased Costs) or any other provision of a Finance Document,
then, unless the assignment, transfer or change is made by a Lender pursuant to Clause 13.6(d) (Involuntary prepayment and cancellation and replacement of Lender) or in order to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to the payment of an amount under Clause 18 (Taxes), Clause 19 (Increased Costs) or any other provision of a Finance Document or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, the Obligor need only pay that amount under Clause 18 (Taxes), Clause 19 (Increased Costs) or any other provision of a Finance Document to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred, except that this Clause 29.4 shall not apply in relation to Clause 18 (Taxes) in the case of an Obligor to which Clauses 18.2 to 18.17 apply, to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (j)(ii)(B) of Clause 18.3 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender.
29.5 Affiliates of Lenders
(a) Without prejudice to Clause 44, each Lender may fulfil its obligations in respect of a Loan through an Affiliate if the relevant Affiliate is specified in this Agreement as a Lender or becomes a Lender by means of a Transfer Certificate in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) If paragraph (a) above applies, the Lender and its Affiliate will be treated as having a single Tranche A Commitment, Tranche B Commitment, Tranche C Commitment and/or Tranche D Commitment, as the case may be, and a single vote, but, for all other purposes, will be treated as separate Lenders.
(c) A Swingline Lender may only assign or transfer all or any (the Swingline Commitment Transfer Amount) of its Swingline Tranche A Commitment, its Swingline Tranche B Commitment or its Swingline Tranche C Commitment to a Lender which is not its Affiliate if it or, where it does not have a Tranche A Commitment, Tranche B Commitment or Tranche C Commitment, its Affiliate, transfers simultaneously to that proposed Lender or that proposed Lender’s Affiliate an amount equal to or greater than the Swingline Commitment Transfer Amount of its (or its Affiliate’s) Tranche A Commitment, its (or its Affiliate’s) Tranche B Commitment or its (or its Affiliate’s) Tranche C Commitment, as the case may be, and in any event in accordance with the other terms of this Clause 29.
29.6 Sub-participation
A Lender may sub-participate all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents or enter into any contractual arrangement with any person so that the effect thereof is to give that person an economic or other interest in that Lender’s rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents which is less than a legal or equitable transfer or assignment of those rights and obligations, provided that:
(a) a Lender may not directly or indirectly transfer its voting rights under the Finance Documents without the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and
(b) following such sub-participation, no Borrower would be obliged to pay any greater amount under Clause 18 (Taxes), Clause 19 (Increased Costs) or any other provision of a Finance Document in the circumstances existing at the time of such sub-participation or which, at the time of such sub-participation, the Lender knows will apply in the twelve (12) month period following such sub-participation, by reason of such sub-participation.

29.7 Security over Lenders’ rights
In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 29, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender to a federal reserve, central bank or any governmental department or agency, including His Majesty’s Treasury, and except that no such charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:
(a) release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security Interest for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or
(b) require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.
29.8 Pro rata interest settlement
(a) If the Facilities Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 29.2 (Procedure for transfer) the Transfer Date of which is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):
(i) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (Accrued Amounts) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the next of the dates which falls at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and
(ii) the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:
(A) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the Existing Lender; and
(B) the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 29.8, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.
(b) In this Clause 29.8 references to "Interest Period" shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.
(c) An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 29.8 but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents.
29.9 The Register
The Facilities Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Obligors, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment agreement, Transfer Certificate and Increase Confirmation delivered to it and a register (the Register) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the commitments of and obligations owing to each Lender. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and each Obligor, the Facilities Agent and each Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each Obligor at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

30.3 Resignation of a Borrower

30.4 Resignation of a Subsidiary Guarantor
(a) The Company may designate that a Subsidiary Guarantor automatically ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor by notifying the Facilities Agent if:

(ii) the Majority Lenders have consented to the resignation of that Subsidiary Guarantor.
(b) A resignation of a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above shall only be effective if:
(i) the Company has confirmed that no Default is continuing or would result from the acceptance of the notice of resignation;
(ii) no payment is due from the Subsidiary Guarantor under a Finance Document; and

The agreement of any Lending Substitute is not required to approve a request for any such consent, waiver, amendment or vote.
44.9 Effect on assignments and transfers
(a) Any assignment or transfer by an Appointing Lender pursuant to Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) of its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents which relate to that portion of its Commitment which relates to a Lending Substitute Utilisation shall be construed to include an assignment or transfer, as the case may be, by it, on behalf of its Lending Substitute nominated to participate in that Lending Substitute Utilisation, of that Lending Substitute’s rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents which relate to that Lending Substitute Utilisation.
(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below the rights and/or obligations of a Lending Substitute under the Finance Documents may not be assigned or transferred other than pursuant to an assignment or transfer by its Appointing Lender described in paragraph (a) above.
(c) A Lending Substitute (the Existing Lending Substitute) may, subject to Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) (including Clause 29.4), assign any of its rights under any Finance Document which relate to an outstanding Lending Substitute Utilisation to another Lending Substitute of its Appointing Lender (the Alternative Lending Substitute) or to its Appointing Lender.
(d) An assignment described in paragraph (c) above will only be effective on receipt by the Facilities Agent of written confirmation from the Alternative Lending Substitute or, as the case may be, the Appointing Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facilities Agent) that the Alternative Lending Substitute or, as the case may be, the Appointing Lender
Page 134

will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if, in the case of an Alternative Lending Substitute, it had been nominated to participate in that Lending Substitute Utilisation or, in the case of an Appointing Lender, the Existing Lending Substitute had not been nominated to participate in that Lending Substitute Utilisation.
44.10 Communications
(a) Each Lending Substitute shall be represented by its Appointing Lender for all administrative purposes under the Finance Documents and each Lending Substitute shall deal with each other Party exclusively through its Appointing Lender.

44.12 Other adjustments
(a) Any obligation under this Agreement for a Lending Substitute to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be construed as an obligation for the Appointing Lender of that Lending Substitute to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement which relate to that portion of its Commitment which relates to any Lending Substitute Utilisation of that Lending Substitute.
(b) If:
(i) a Lending Substitute is nominated to participate in any Utilisation, or class of Utilisation, pursuant to the delivery of a Lending Substitute Utilisation Notice; and
(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date of delivery of that Lending Substitute Utilisation Notice an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to that Lending Substitute under Clause 18 (Taxes) or Clause 19 (Increased Costs) or any other provision of a Finance Document,
then that Lending Substitute is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses or provisions in respect of a Lending Substitute Utilisation which is the subject of that Lending Substitute Utilisation Notice to the same extent as its Appointing Lender would have been if that Utilisation had not been a Lending Substitute Utilisation. This paragraph (b) shall not apply:
(iii) in relation to Clause 18.3 (Tax gross-up),in the case of an Obligor to which Clauses
18.2 (General) to 18.7 (Stamp taxes) apply, to a Lending Substitute that is a Treaty Lender and that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (a) of Clause 44.2 (Original Lending Affiliate tax status confirmations) or paragraph (j)(ii)(B) of Clause 18.3 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender.
44.13 Resignation of Lending Substitute
(a) If no Lending Substitute Utilisation in respect of which a Lending Substitute has rights or obligations under this Agreement is outstanding, that Lending Substitute and its Appointing Lender may request that such Lending Substitute (the Resigning Lending Substitute) ceases to be a Lending Substitute by delivering to the Facilities Agent a Lending Substitute Resignation Notice.
(b) The Facilities Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Lending Substitute Resignation Notice appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, accept that Lending Substitute Resignation Notice and notify the Appointing Lender of that Resigning Lending Substitute and the Company of its acceptance.
Page 135

(c) Upon notification by the Facilities Agent to that Appointing Lender and the Company of its acceptance of the resignation of that Resigning Lending Substitute:
(i) that Resigning Lending Substitute shall cease to be a Lending Substitute and shall have no further rights or obligations under the Finance Documents as a Lending Substitute; and
(ii) any nomination of that Lending Substitute to participate in any Utilisation, or class of Utilisation, shall be cancelled.
(d) A Lending Substitute shall, and its Appointing Lender shall procure that such Lending Substitute will, resign pursuant to this Clause 44.13 if:
(i) that Lending Substitute ceases to be an Affiliate or Facility Office (as relevant) of its Appointing Lender; or
(ii) its Appointing Lender ceases to be a Party.

“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA of such Person for such period to the Fixed Charges of such Person for such period. In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness or issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock or preferred stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Fixed Charge Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; provided, however, that the pro forma calculation of Fixed Charges shall not give effect to (i) any Permitted Debt incurred on the Fixed Charge Calculation Date or (ii) the discharge on the Fixed Charge Calculation Date of any Indebtedness to the extent that such discharge results from the proceeds of Permitted Debt.
In addition, for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) and any operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has determined to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations and other operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger,
Page 12

amalgamation, consolidation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of Carnival Corporation as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost savings reasonably expected to result from the applicable event. Any calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may be made, at the option of Carnival Corporation, either (i) at the time the Board of Directors of Carnival Corporation approves the action necessitating the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or (ii) at the completion of such action necessitating the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.
If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Carnival Corporation to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Carnival Corporation may designate.
For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable period.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 2.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (21) of Section 2.01(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 2.01(a), Carnival Corporation, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify
Page 30

such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses and will be permitted on the date of such incurrence to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Sections 2.01(a) and (b) and from time to time to reclassify or redivide (as if incurred at such later time) all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 2.01.
(e) In connection with the incurrence or issuance, as applicable, of (x) revolving loan Indebtedness or (y) any commitment relating to the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, in each case, in compliance with this Section 2.01, and the granting of any Lien to secure such Indebtedness, Carnival Corporation or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may, at its option, designate such incurrence or issuance and the granting of any Lien therefor as having occurred on the date of first incurrence of such revolving loan Indebtedness or commitment (such date, the “Deemed Date”), and any related subsequent actual incurrence or issuance and granting of such Lien therefor will be deemed for all purposes under this Schedule to have been incurred or issued and granted on such Deemed Date, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, usage of any baskets described herein (if applicable), the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Loan-to-Value Ratio and Consolidated EBITDA (and all such calculations on and after the Deemed Date until the termination or funding of such commitment shall be made on a pro forma basis giving effect to the deemed incurrence or issuance, the granting of any Lien therefor and related transactions in connection therewith).

(g) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a different currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred or, in the case of Indebtedness incurred under a revolving credit facility and at the option of Carnival Corporation, first committed; provided that (a) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar- denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing indebtedness does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; and (b) if and for so long as any Indebtedness is subject to a Hedging Obligation with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal amounts payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness, if denominated in U.S. dollars, will be the amount of the principal payment required to be made under such Hedging Obligation and, otherwise, the U.S. dollar-equivalent
of such amount plus the U.S. dollar-equivalent of any premium which is at such time due and payable but is not covered by such Hedging Obligation.
Page 31

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.01, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such refinancing indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
(i) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(i) in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount, the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP;
(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:
(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and
(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.
SECTION 2.02 L IENS
(a) The Loan Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, except:
(1) Permitted Liens; and
(2) a Lien on such property or assets that is not a Permitted Lien (each Lien under clause (2), a “Triggering Lien”) if, contemporaneously with (or prior to) the incurrence of such Triggering Lien, all Facilities Agreement Obligations are secured on an equal and ratable basis with or on a senior basis to the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Triggering Lien; provided that, (i) if the Indebtedness secured by such Triggering Lien is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Facilities Agreement Obligations, as the case may be, then such Triggering Lien securing such Indebtedness shall be subordinate or junior in priority to the Lien securing the Facilities Agreement Obligations and (ii) if any Secured Indebtedness is also required to be secured by Liens on such property or assets pursuant to provisions in the Secured Indebtedness Documents that are similar to this clause (2), the Liens on such property or assets securing the Facilities Agreement Obligations may rank junior in priority to the Liens on such property or assets securing such Secured Indebtedness pursuant to a Customary Intercreditor Agreement.
For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 2.02, (A) Liens securing Indebtedness and obligations need not be incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof) but are permitted to be incurred in part under any combination thereof, and
(B) in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof), Carnival Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, classify, divide or later reclassify or redivide (as if incurred at such later time) such Liens (or any portions thereof) in any manner that complies with the definition of Permitted Liens, and such Liens (or portions thereof, as applicable)
will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to such clause, clauses or subparts of the definition of Permitted Liens (and in the case of a subsequent division, classification or reclassification, such Liens
Page 32

shall cease to be divided or classified as it was prior to such subsequent division, classification or reclassification).
To the extent that any Liens are imposed pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(2) (the “Equal and Ratable Provision”), (i) Permitted Liens may be of any priority (including senior in priority) relative to any Liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, except where otherwise specified, and (ii) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Liens ranking junior in priority to the liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision (“Junior Liens”). The Facilities Agreement Agent shall enter into a Customary Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such Permitted Liens, Junior Liens and Liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, if any.
(b) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, any Lien that is permitted under this Schedule to secure Indebtedness shall also be permitted to secure any obligations related to such Indebtedness.
(c) Any Lien created in favor of the Facilities Agreement Obligations pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Triggering Lien to which it relates.

(E) 100% of any dividends or distributions received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Reference Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent that such dividends or distributions were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, repayments of, or interest payments in respect of, any Permitted Investment pursuant to clause (16) of the definition thereof); and

SECTION 2.04 D ESIGNATION OF R ESTRICTED AND U NRESTRICTED S UBSIDIARIES
(a) The Board of Directors of Carnival Corporation may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.
(b) If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 2.03 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by Carnival Corporation. The designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will only be permitted if the deemed Investment resulting from such designation would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
(c) Carnival Corporation may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.
(d) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Facilities Agreement Agent by filing with the Facilities Agreement Agent a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of Carnival Corporation giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 2.03. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Schedule and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 2.01, Carnival Corporation will be in default of such Section 2.01. The Board of Directors of Carnival Corporation may at any
Page 37

time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 2.01, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (ii) no Default would be in existence following such designation.
