conditions to be performed and observed by Carnival plc and the Guarantor under

Section 3. The following definition shall be added to Section 1.01
of the Original Indenture:
"Carnival plc" means Carnival plc, a public limited company existing
under the laws of England and Wales, and any successor thereto.
Section 4. The Original Indenture is hereby amended by adding a new
Section 2.19 to read in its entirety as follows:
"Section 2.19. Carnival plc Guarantee.
(a) Carnival plc, for value received, hereby unconditionally
guarantees (the "Carnival plc Guarantee") to the Holders of the Securities
and to the Trustee on behalf of each such Holder the due and punctual
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such
Securities, when and as the same shall become due and payable (subject to
any period of grace provided with respect thereto), whether at the Stated
Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to
therein. In the case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any
such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, Carnival plc
hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as
the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or
by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as
if such payment were made by the Company.
(b) All payments by Carnival plc in respect of the Carnival plc
Guarantee and the Securities shall be made free and clear of and without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes,
duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or
levied by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political subdivision
or authority thereof or therein having power to tax ("UK Taxes"), unless
the withholding or deduction is then required by law. If any deduction or
withholding for any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other
governmental charges of the United Kingdom (or any political subdivision
or taxing authority within the United Kingdom) will at any time be
required by the United Kingdom (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority within the United Kingdom) in respect of the payment of any
amounts by Carnival plc on the Securities, Carnival plc will pay to a
Holder of a Security who is not a resident in the United Kingdom for U.K.
tax purposes such additional amounts ("Carnival plc Additional Amounts")
as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder,
after such deduction or withholding, will be not less than the amounts
specified in new security affected to which its holder is entitled;
provided that the foregoing obligation to pay Carnival plc Additional
Amounts does not apply to (i) any tax, duty, assessment or other
governmental charge which would not have been imposed, withheld or
deducted but for (1) the existence of any present or former connection
between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Security (or between a
fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member or shareholder or possessor of a
power over, such holder or
beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust,
partnership or corporation) and the United Kingdom (or any political
subdivision or territory or possession within the United Kingdom or area
subject to its jurisdiction), including, without limitation, the holder or
beneficial owner (or the fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member,
shareholder or possessor) being or having been domiciliary, national or
resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or
business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment,
office, branch or fixed base therein or otherwise having or having had
some connection with the United Kingdom (or such political subdivision,
territory or possession of the United Kingdom or area subject to its
jurisdiction) other than the holding or ownership of a Security or the
collection of principal of and interest, if any, on, or the enforcement
of, a Security or (2) the presentation of a Security (where presentation
is required) for payment (x) in the United Kingdom or (y) on a date more
than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable
or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever
occurs later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been
entitled to the Additional Amounts if it had presented its Security for
payment on any day within the 30 day period; (ii) any estate, inheritance,
gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or
other governmental charge; (iii) any tax, duty, assessment or other
governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or
deduction from payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest
on, the Securities; (iv) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental
charge that is imposed, deducted or withheld by reason of the failure to
comply by the Holder or the beneficial owner of a Security or the
beneficial owner of any payment on the Security with a request of Carnival
plc addressed to the Holder to provide information concerning the
nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United Kingdom or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof of the Holder or
such beneficial owner or to make any declaration or other similar claim to
satisfy any information or reporting requirement, which in either case, is
required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation, ruling or
administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to
exemption from withholding or deduction of all or part of such tax, duty,
assessment or other governmental charge; (v) any tax, duty, assessment or
other governmental charge which is payable in respect of any payments on a
certificated Security issued at the request of the Holder on or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default; or (vi) any combination of the above
items; nor will Carnival plc Additional Amounts be paid with respect to
any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security to any
Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial
owner of such payment to the extent the payment would be required by the
laws of the United Kingdom (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority within the United Kingdom) to be included in the income for tax
purposes of a beneficiary or settler with respect to such fiduciary or a
member of such partnership or to a beneficial owner who would not have
been entitled to such Carnival plc Additional Amounts had it been the
Holder of the Security.
Carnival plc shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
facilitate administrative actions necessary to assist Holders to obtain
any refund of or credit against UK Taxes for which Carnival plc Additional
Amounts are not paid as a result of the conditions in the second preceding
sentence.
(c) Carnival plc agrees that its obligations under the Carnival plc
Guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall
be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any
Security or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any
Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence
granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of any Security
or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or
indulgence shall, without the consent of Carnival plc, increase the
principal amount of any Security, or increase the interest rate thereon,
or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the
Stated Maturity thereof. Carnival plc hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of a merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protect or notice with respect to
any Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands
whatsoever, and covenants that the Carnival plc Guarantee will not be
discharged except by payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on such Security.
(d) The Carnival plc Guarantee is limited to the maximum amount that
will result in the obligations of Carnival plc not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.
(e) Carnival plc shall not consolidate or merge with or into
(whether or not the Carnival plc is the surviving corporation), or sell,
convey or transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or more related transactions to another Person, and shall
not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into any such
transaction or transactions if such transaction or transactions, in the
aggregate, would result in a sale, assignment, transfer, lease or disposal
of all or substantially all of the assets of Carnival plc, as the case may
be, and its respective Subsidiaries to another Person, unless the
purchasing or transferee corporation or the successor, continuing or
resulting corporation in the case of a merger or consolidation (if the
Carnival plc is not the surviving corporation), as the case may be: (i) is
an entity in an EU member state, an Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development member nation, or a European Free Trade Association member
nation, in each case other than Greece, Liechtenstein, Mexico or Turkey;
and (ii) expressly assumes, by an amendment to this Indenture and the
Securities, pursuant to this Indenture, the obligations of Carnival plc
under the Carnival plc Guarantee It will be a condition to any
consolidation, merger, sale of assets or assumption under this section
that immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, merger, sale
of assets or assumption no Event of Default (and no event which, after
notice or lapse of time
or both, would become an Event of Default) will have occurred and be
continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of (1) any merger
or consolidation by (x) Carnival plc or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
with (y) Carnival Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) any sale,
conveyance, transfer or other disposition of assets by (x) Carnival plc or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to (y) Carnival Corporation or any of
its Subsidiaries, clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 2.19(e)
shall be deemed to have been satisfied.
(f) Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of Carnival plc in accordance with Section
2.19(e) hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or
into or with which Carnival plc, is merged or to which such transfer is
made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the
date of such consolidation merger, or transfer, the provisions of this
Indenture referring to "Carnival plc" shall refer instead to the successor
corporation and not to Carnival plc), and may exercise every right and
power of Carnival plc under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as Carnival plc herein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any provision of Section 2.19(e), upon any consolidation
or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
Carnival plc to the primary obligor under this Indenture or the
Securities, the Carnival plc Guarantee shall terminate automatically, and
this Section 2.19 shall be of no further force or effect.
(g) Carnival plc shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of
each Security and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any
amounts paid to such Holder by Carnival plc pursuant to the provisions of
the Carnival plc Guarantee, provided, however, that Carnival plc shall not
be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based
upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under such
Indenture shall have been paid in full."

Tangible Assets (or their respective equivalents in any other
currency) or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any indebtedness for money borrowed by Carnival plc or any Principal
Subsidiary of it, whether such indebtedness now exists or will
hereafter be created which default will have resulted in such
indebtedness of the greater of (pound)25,000,000 or 0.5% (or their
respective equivalents in any other currency) of Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets becoming or being declared due and payable prior to
the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable,

there is no further recourse by the relevant creditor against the general assets
of Carnival plc or any Principal Subsidiary of it; and provided further, that it
will not be an Event of Default under Clause (g)(ii) or (g)(iii) if the event in
question relates solely to property of Carnival plc or a Principal Subsidiary of
it that is the subject of a non-recourse financing arrangement described in the
previous proviso, and if such event does not, directly or indirectly, give
further recourse by the relevant creditor to the general assets (or any other
property) of Carnival plc or a Principal Subsidiary of it."
Section 9. Section 6.02 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended
by adding the following after the final sentence thereof: "If Carnival
