2.03 Notice of Borrowing. Subject to the second parenthetical in Section 2.02(a)(ii) and other than in respect of a Deferred Loan, whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing hereunder, it shall give the Facility Agent at its Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of each Loan to be made hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M.

No later than 12:00 Noon (Frankfurt time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion of each Borrowing requested in the Notice of Borrowing to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be made available in the currency required by Section 2.02(b) in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Facility Agent, and the Facility Agent will make available to (I) in the case of Loans disbursed in Dollars, the Borrower (and/or its designee(s), to the extent possible and to the extent such designee is a provider of Earmarked Foreign Exchange Arrangements referenced in the definition of Dollar Equivalent) and (II) in the case of Loans disbursed in Euro, designee(s) of the Borrower (to the extent any such designee is the Yard or, in the case of the Hermes Premium, Hermes), in each case prior to 3:00 P.M.

Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Facility Agent such Xxxxxx’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Facility Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such amount available to the Facility Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Facility Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Facility Agent by such Lender, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Facility Agent’s demand therefor, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Facility Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Facility Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, at the overnight Eurodollar Rate and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.06. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

2.05 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Loans (including Deferred Loans) under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments as at the time or, in the case of the Deferred Loans, deemed time, of the relevant

(35)

Borrowing. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

2.06 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (other than a Deferred Loan) from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrower until the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan at the Fixed Rate or if an election is made by the Borrower to elect the Floating Rate pursuant to Section 2.07, at the Floating Rate.

Any interest accruing under this Section 2.06(b) shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.

(c)At any time when interest is payable at the Floating Rate, if any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of a Floating Rate Interest Period relating to that Loan:

(i)the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Floating Rate Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(ii)the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be [*]% plus the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(d)Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

(e)Accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in respect of each Loan on each Fixed Interest Payment Date (if interest is payable on the Loan at the Fixed Rate) or, if

(36)

interest is payable on the Loan at the Floating Rate, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, on any repayment or prepayment date (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(f)At any time when interest is payable on the Loan at the Floating Rate, upon each Interest Determination Date, the Facility Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the Loans to be made pursuant to the applicable Borrowing and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the respective Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(g)At any time when interest is payable on the Loan at the Fixed Rate, the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender on demand for the amount by which the 6 month Eurodollar Rate for any Fixed Rate Interest Period plus the fee for administrative expenses of [*]% per annum for such Fixed Rate Interest Period plus [*]% per annum less the Fixed Rate exceeds [*]% per annum (being the amount by which the interest make-up is limited under Section 1.1 of the CIRR General Terms and Conditions).

(a)By written notice to the Facility Agent delivered prior to the earlier of (i) 5 days from the date of execution of this Agreement and (ii) 5 Business Days prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower may elect, without incurring any liability to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.10 or to pay any other indemnity or compensation obligation, to pay interest on the Loans at the Floating Rate.

(c)This Section 2.07 shall not apply to Deferred Loans (in respect of which the Floating Rate shall always apply).

(b)the initial Floating Rate Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Loan (or deemed Borrowing in the case of a Deferred Loan) and each Floating Rate Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Loan

(37)

shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(d)if any Floating Rate Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Floating Rate Interest Period shall expire on the first succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Floating Rate Interest Period for a Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Floating Rate Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(e)no Floating Rate Interest Period longer than three months may be selected at any time when an Event of Default (or, if the Facility Agent or the Required Lenders have determined that such an election at such time would be disadvantageous to the Lenders, a Default) has occurred and is continuing;

(f)no Floating Rate Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date;

If upon the expiration of any Floating Rate Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Floating Rate Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a three month Floating Rate Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Floating Rate Interest Period.

2.09 Increased Costs, Illegality, Market Disruption, etc.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i)at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs (including, without limitation, pursuant to Basel II and/or Basel III to the extent Basel II and/or Basel III, as the case may be, is applicable), Mandatory Costs (as set forth on Schedule 1.01(b)) or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of, without duplication, any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation, governmental order, governmental guideline or governmental request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the

(38)

interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, governmental regulation, governmental order, governmental guideline or governmental request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender, or any franchise tax based on net income or net profits, of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which such Lender’s principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04, or (B) a change in official reserve requirements; or

(ii)at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order;

then, and in any such event, such Lender shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Facility Agent of such determination (which notice the Facility Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the Borrower agrees (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased costs or reductions to such Lender or such other corporation and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.09(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Xxxxxx’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.09(a) shall, absent manifest error be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(a), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amounts; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from its Credit Document Obligations hereunder.

(b)At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(ii) shall) either (x) if the affected Loan is then being made initially, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Facility Agent notice in writing on the same date or the next Business Day that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii) or (y) if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Facility Agent, in the case of any Loan, repay all outstanding Borrowings (within the time period required by the applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order) which include such affected Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 4.02; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).

(39)

(c)If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date (i) the introduction of or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation, governmental order, governmental guideline, governmental directive or governmental request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, (ii) compliance with any law or regulation or any request from or requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority made after the Effective Date (including any which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which a Lender allocates capital resources to obligations under this Agreement, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement and/or any Other Hedging Agreement) or (iii) to the extent that such change is not discretionary and is pursuant to law, a governmental mandate or request, or a central bank or other fiscal or monetary authority mandate or request, any change in the risk weight allocated by such Lender to the Borrower after the Effective Date, then the Borrower agrees (to the extent applicable) to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.09(c) shall, absent manifest error be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b), the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from its Credit Document Obligations hereunder.

(d)This Section 2.09(d) applies at any time when interest on the Loan is payable at the Floating Rate. If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any Lender’s share of a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i)the Applicable Margin;

(ii)the rate determined by such Xxxxxx and notified to the Facility Agent by 5:00 P.M. (Frankfurt time) on the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to each such Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for a period equivalent to such Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select; provided that the rate provided by a Lender pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not be disclosed to any other Lender and shall be held as confidential by the Facility Agent and the Borrower; and

(iii)the Mandatory Costs, if any, applicable to such Lender of funding its participation in that Loan.

(40)

(e)This Section 2.09(e) applies at any time when interest on the Loan is payable at the Floating Rate. If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so require, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties. If no agreement is reached pursuant to this clause (e), the rate provided for in clause (d) above shall apply for the entire applicable Interest Period.

2.10 Indemnification; Breakage Costs. (a) When interest on the Loan is payable at the Floating Rate, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, within two Business Days of demand (in writing and which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting and the calculation of such amount and which in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive evidence as to the amount due), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any such loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain in respect of Loans made to the Borrower: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Facility Agent) a Borrowing of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.09(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.09(a), Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 (in each case other than on the expiry of a Floating Rate Interest Period) or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) of any of its Loans, or assignment and/or transfer of its Loans pursuant to Section 2.12, occurs on a date which is not the last day of a Interest Period with respect thereto; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(b)When interest on the Loan (and ignoring for this purpose the Deferred Loans) is payable at the Fixed Rate, and at the time of any prepayment or commitment reduction pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05 or 4.01 or any mandatory repayment or commitment reduction pursuant to Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, within two Business Days of demand in writing, which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting and the calculation of such amount and which in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive evidence as to the amount due, for all losses, expenses and liabilities which such Lender may sustain in respect of the early repayment or prepayment of the Loans made to the Borrower including, without limitation, the costs of breaking deposits or re-employing funds under any swap agreements or interest rate arrangement products entered into in respect of the Loans or any prepayment compensation as set forth in the CIRR General Terms and Conditions, it being understood that for this purpose clause 8.3 of the CIRR General Terms and Conditions shall be read as “the interest calculated based on the Fixed Rate (2.98%) less the fee for administrative expenses (0.4%) less 0.605% that would have accrued if the agreement had been fulfilled from the time of cancellation of the Guarantee until the end of the overall term”.

(41)

(c)It is understood and agreed that no amounts under this Section 2.10 will be payable by the Borrower if the Total Commitment is terminated no later than the 5 days from the date of execution of this Agreement.

2.11 Change of Lending Office; Limitation on Additional Amounts. (a) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09 (a), Section 2.09(b), or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable good faith efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event or otherwise take steps to mitigate the effect of such event, provided that such designation shall be made and/or such steps shall be taken at the Borrower’s cost and on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage in excess of de minimus amounts, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 2.09 and Section 4.04.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within 180 days of the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender has knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be indemnified for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10, or 4.04, as the case may be, to the extent the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to such Lender giving notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04, as the case may be. This Section 2.11(b) shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 4.04.

2.12 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09(a) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower material increased costs in excess of the average costs being charged by the other Lenders, or (z) as provided in Section 14.11(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall (for its own cost) have the right, if no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) (subject to the consent of (a) the CIRR Representative if at such time interest is payable at the Fixed Rate and (b) the Hermes Agent) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent (it being understood that all then-existing Lenders are reasonably acceptable); provided that:

(42)

(a)at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Transfer Certificates pursuant to Section 13.01(a) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.02 to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (without duplication) of (x) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, and (y) an amount equal to all accrued, but unpaid, Commitment Commission owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01;

(b)all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (a) above) in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement; and

(c)if the Borrower elects to replace any Lender pursuant to clause (x), (y) or (z) of this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall also replace each other Lender that qualifies for replacement under such clause (x), (y) or (z).

Upon the execution of the respective Transfer Certificate and the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 14.01 and 14.05), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

(v)the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Facility Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Section 2.13; and

The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender for Taxes attributed to such Xxxxxx’s failure to provide the required documents under this Section 4.04(b).

(ii)second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding Credit Document Obligations shall be paid to the Lender Creditors as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof, with each Lender Creditor receiving an amount equal to such outstanding Credit Document Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Credit Document Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;

(iii)third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Other Obligations shall be paid to the Other Creditors as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof, with each Other Creditor receiving an amount equal to such outstanding Other Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Other Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

(iv)fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement, the Credit Documents, the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and the Other Hedging Agreements in accordance with their terms, to the relevant Credit Party or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(b)For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be.

(c)If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid Credit Document

(52)

Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution.

(d)All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Facility Agent under this Agreement for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.

(e)For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 4.05, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Facility Agent under this Agreement and (ii) the Representative for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Facility Agent, each Representative for any Other Creditors and the Secured Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Credit Document Obligations and Other Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements are in existence.

(f)It is understood and agreed that each Credit Party shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it under and pursuant to the Security Documents and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations of such Credit Party.

each of which assignees or transferees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of (I) an Assignment Agreement (in the case of assignments) and (II) a Transfer Certificate (in the case of transfers under Section 13.06); provided that (x) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such New Lender and of the Existing Lenders, (y) the consent of the Facility Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment or transfer pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (z) the consent of the CIRR Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment or transfer pursuant to preceding clause (i) or (ii) if the New Lender elects to become a Refinanced Bank; and provided, further, that at no time shall a Lender assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a hedge fund, private equity fund, insurance company or other similar or related financing institution that is not in the primary business of accepting cash deposits from, and making loans to, the public.

(b)If (x) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Credit Documents or changes its Facility Office and (y) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Credit Party would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04, then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under that section to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This Section 13.01(b) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Credit Agreement.

(c)Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility 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 transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

(d)The Borrower and Bookrunner hereby agree to discuss and co-operate in good faith in connection with any initial syndication and transfer of the Loans.

13.02 Assignment or Transfer Fee. Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an assignment or transfer (i) to an Affiliate of a Lender, (ii) made in connection with primary syndication of this Agreement or (iii) as set forth in Section 13.03, each New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of $3,500.

13.03 Assignments and Transfers to Hermes or KfW. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from assigning its rights or transferring its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) Hermes and (y) KfW in support of borrowings made by such Lender from KfW pursuant to the KfW Refinancing, in each case without the consent of the Borrower and without being required to pay the non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 referred to in Section 13.02 above.

(94)

13.04 Limitation of Responsibility to Existing Lenders. (a) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(i) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Credit Documents, the Security Documents or any other documents;

(ii) the financial condition of any Credit Party;

(iii)the performance and observance by any Credit Party of its obligations under the Credit Documents or any other documents; or

(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Credit Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the other Lender Creditors and the Secured Creditors that it (1) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Lender Creditor in connection with any Credit Document or any Lien (or any other security interest) created pursuant to the Security Documents and (2) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Credit Party and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Credit Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c)Nothing in any Credit Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Section 13; or

(ii) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Credit Party of its obligations under the Credit Documents or otherwise.

13.05 [Intentionally Omitted].

13.06 Procedure and Conditions for Transfer.

(ii)each of the Credit Parties and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Credit Party or other member of the NCLC Group and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Credit Party and the Existing Lender;

(iii)the Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Hermes Agent, the New Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Security Documents 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 Facility Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Credit Documents, it being understood that the indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 14.01 and 14.05) shall survive as to such Existing Lender; and

(c)On the date of the assignment:

(i) the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender its rights under the Credit Documents and in respect of any Lien (or any other security interest) created

(96)

(ii) the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the “Relevant Obligations”) expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of any Lien (or any other security interest) created pursuant to the Security Documents), it being understood that the indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 14.01 and 14.05) shall survive as to such Existing Lender; and

(iii) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

13.08 Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Parent. The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement, send to the Parent a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement.

13.09 Security over Lenders’ Rights. In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Section 13, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Credit Party, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Lien (or any other security interest) or declare a trust in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Credit Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

(i)any charge, assignment or other Lien (or any other security interest) or trust to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank or the CIRR Representative; and

(ii)in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Lien (or any other security interest) granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Lien (or any other security interest) or trust shall:

(i) release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Credit Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or other Lien (or any other security interest) or trust for the Lender as a party to any of the Credit Documents; or

(ii) require any payments to be made by a Credit Party or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Credit Documents.

13.10 Assignment by a Credit Party. No Credit Party may assign any of its rights or transfer by novation any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any

(97)

other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Hermes Agent, the CIRR Representative, and the Lenders.

13.11 Lender Participations. (a) Although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer by novation its rights and obligations or assign its rights under all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.12 and 13.01) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and

(b) no Lender shall grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Commitment Commission thereon (except (m) in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (n) that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (x)) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (y) consent to the assignment by the Borrower of any of its rights, or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations, under this Agreement or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) securing the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Xxxxxx in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

13.12 Increased Costs. To the extent that a transfer of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Credit Document Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 13.01 would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

SECTION 14 Miscellaneous.

14.01 Payment of Expenses, etc.

The Borrower agrees that it shall: whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, (i) pay all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each of the Agents (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees

(98)

and disbursements of Xxxxxx Xxxx LLP, Bahamian counsel, Bermudian counsel, other counsel to the Facility Agent and the Lead Arrangers and local counsel) in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, and (b) any initial transfers by KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH as original Lender pursuant to Section 5.11 carried out during the period falling 6 months after the Effective Date including, without limitation, all documents requested to be executed in respect of such transfers, and all respective syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement; (ii) pay all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each of the Agents and each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein (including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (excluding in-house counsel) for each of the Agents and for each of the Lenders); (iii) pay and hold the Facility Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, documentary, transfer, sales and use, value added, excise and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters, the performance of any obligation under this Agreement or any Credit Document or any payment thereunder, and save the Facility Agent and save each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Facility Agent or such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iv) other than in respect of a wrongful failure by any Lender to fund its Commitments as required by this Agreement, indemnify the Agents and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any of the Agents or any Lender is a party thereto) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein, or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on the Vessel or in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any property at any time owned or operated by the Borrower, the generation, storage, transportation, handling, disposal or Environmental Release of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by the Borrower, the non-compliance of the Vessel or property with foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to the Vessel or property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower or the Vessel or property at any time owned or operated by the Borrower, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified or by reason of a failure by the Person to be indemnified to fund its Commitments as required by this Agreement). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless each of the Agents or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it

(99)

violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

14.02 Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent but in any event excluding assets held in trust for any such Person against and on account of the Credit Document Obligations and liabilities of the Parent or such Subsidiary of the Parent, as applicable, to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Credit Document Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.05(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Credit Document Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender upon the exercise of its rights to set-off pursuant to this Section 14.02 shall give notice thereof to the Facility Agent.

14.03 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telexed, telegraphic, telecopier or electronic (unless and until notified to the contrary) communication) and mailed, telexed, telecopied, delivered or electronic mailed: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified on Schedule 14.03A; if to any Lender, at its address specified opposite its name on Schedule 14.03B; and if to the Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent, at its Notice Office; or, as to any other Credit Party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Parent, the Borrower and the Facility Agent; provided that, with respect to all notices and other communication made by electronic mail or other electronic means, the Facility Agent, the Hermes Agent, the Lenders, the Parent, the Borrower and the Pledgor agree that they (x) shall notify each other in writing of their electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means and (y) shall notify each other of any change to their address or any other such information supplied by them. All such notices and communications shall, (i) when mailed, be effective three Business Days after being deposited in the mails, prepaid and properly addressed for delivery, (ii) when sent by overnight courier, be effective one Business Day after delivery to the overnight courier prepaid and properly addressed for delivery on such next Business Day, (iii) when sent by telex or telecopier, be effective when sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent shall not be effective until received by the Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent (as the case may be), or (iv) when electronic mailed, be effective only when actually received in readable form and in the case of any electronic communication made by a Lender, the Parent, the Borrower or the Pledgor to the

(100)

Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent, only if it is addressed in such a manner as the Facility Agent shall specify for this purpose. A copy of any notice to the Facility Agent shall be delivered to the Hermes Agent at its Notice Office. If an Agent is an Impaired Agent the parties to this Agreement may, instead of communicating with each other through such Agent, communicate with each other directly and (while such Agent is an Impaired Agent) all the provisions of the Credit Documents which require communications to be made or notices to be given to or by such Agent shall be varied so that communications may be made and notices given to or by the relevant parties to this Agreement directly. This provision shall not operate after a replacement Agent has been appointed.

14.04 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of an Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and an Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which an Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of an Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.05 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Facility Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Credit Document Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Credit Document Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b)Other than in connection with assignments and participations (which are governed by Section 13), each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Commitment Commission, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Credit Document Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Credit Document Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Credit Document Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(101)

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 14.05(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

14.06 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Parent to the Lenders). In addition, all computations determining compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 10.06 through 10.09, inclusive, shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the historical financial statements delivered to the Lenders for the fiscal year of the Parent ended December 31, 2011 (with the foregoing generally accepted accounting principles, subject to the preceding proviso, herein called “GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, all references in this Agreement to “generally accepted accounting principles” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.

(b)All computations of interest and Commitment Commission hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Commitment Commission are payable.

14.07 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction of English Courts; Service of Process.

(a)This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

(b)The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a “Dispute”). The parties hereto agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle disputes and accordingly no party hereto will argue to the contrary. This section 14.07 is for the benefit of the Lenders, Agents and Secured Creditors. As a result, no such party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Lenders, Agents and Secured Creditors may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(c)Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Credit Party (other than a Credit Party incorporated in England and Wales): (i) irrevocably appoints EC3 Services Limited, having its registered office at The St Botolph Building, 000 Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX0X 0XX, as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any credit document and (ii) agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Credit Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. If any person appointed as an agent for service of

(102)

process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Parent (on behalf of all the Credit Parties) must immediately (and in any event within five days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the facility agent. Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

Each party to this Agreement expressly agrees and consents to the provisions of this Section 14.07.

14.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Facility Agent.

14.09 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall take effect as a deed on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which (i) the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Agents and each of the Lenders who are initially parties hereto shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Facility Agent or, in the case of the Lenders and the other Agents, shall have given to the Facility Agent written or facsimile notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Facility Agent for its own account and/or the account of Lenders and/or Agents, as the case may be, the fees required to be paid pursuant to the heads of terms, dated September 14, 2012, among the Parent and KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH (the “Heads of Terms”) and (iii) the Credit Parties shall have provided (x) the “Know Your Customer” information required pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and (y) such other documentation and evidence necessary in order to carry out and be reasonably satisfied with other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the Transaction and the Hermes Cover, in each case as requested by the Facility Agent, the Hermes Agent or any Lender in connection with each of the Facility Agent’s, the Hermes Agent’s, Xxxxxx’ and each Lender’s internal compliance regulations. The Facility Agent will give the Parent, the Borrower and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

14.10 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

14.11 Amendment or Waiver; etc.

(a)Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto, the Hermes Agent and the Required Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, extend the timing for or reduce the principal amount of any Scheduled Repayment, increase or extend any Commitment (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of

(103)

a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), or reduce the rate (including, without limitation, the Applicable Margin and the Fixed Rate) or extend the time of payment of interest on any Loan or Commitment Commission or fees (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (y) any amendment or modification to the definitions used in the financial covenants set forth in Sections 10.06 through 10.09, inclusive, in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i)), or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash), (ii) release any of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under any of the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 13 or this Section 14.11, (iv) change the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Effective Date) or a provision which expressly requires the consent of all the Lenders, (v) consent to the assignment and/or transfer by the Parent and/or Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (vi) replace the Parent Guaranty or release the Parent Guaranty from the relevant guarantee to which such Guarantor is a party (other than as provided in such guarantee); provided, further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (u) without the consent of Hermes, amend, modify or waive any provision that relates to the rights or obligations of Hermes and (v) without the consent of each Agent, the CIRR Representative and/or each Lead Arranger, as applicable, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of such Agent, the CIRR Representative and/or such Lead Arranger, as applicable.

(b)If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 14.11(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Commitment), and/or repay outstanding Loans and terminate any outstanding Commitments of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent, in accordance with Section 4.01(d), provided that, unless the Commitments are terminated, and Loans repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined before giving effect to the proposed action) and the Hermes Agent shall specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Xxxxxx’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 14.11(a).

(104)

(c)Subject to the further proviso to Section 14.11(a), if a Screen Rate Replacement Event has occurred in relation to the Screen Rate, any amendment or waiver that relates to (i) providing for the use of a Replacement Benchmark in relation to that currency in place of that Screen Rate and (ii)(A) aligning any provision of any Credit Document to the use of that Replacement Benchmark, (B) enabling that Replacement Benchmark to be used for the calculation of interest under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any consequential changes required to enable that Replacement Benchmark to be used for the purposes of this Agreement), (C) implementing market conventions applicable to that Replacement Benchmark, (D) providing for appropriate fallback (and market disruption) provisions for that Replacement Benchmark, or (E) adjusting the pricing to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one party to another as a result of the application of that Replacement Benchmark (and if any adjustment or method for calculating any adjustment has been formally designated, nominated or recommended by the Relevant Nominating Body, the adjustment shall be determined on the basis of that designation, nomination or recommendation), may be made, having regard to the following paragraphs of this Section 14.11, with the consent of the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower.

(d)At least six months prior to the LIBOR Discontinuation Date (or, if the LIBOR Discontinuation Date is not known such that the date six months prior to its occurrence cannot be determined, such shorter period as is appropriate in the circumstances), the Facility Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower (or the Parent on the Borrower’s behalf) will enter into good faith negotiations with a view to agreeing the Replacement Benchmark, the Consequential Technical Amendments as well as any other necessary adjustments to the Credit Documents for the period following the LIBOR Discontinuation Date. The negotiations will take into account the then current market standards and will be conducted with a view to ensuring that the interest yield under this Agreement is not impacted and will also take into account any corresponding changes required in respect of the Refinancing Agreements.

(e)Subject to paragraph (d) above, for any Interest Period following the LIBOR Discontinuation Date, the Eurodollar Rate shall be replaced by the weighted average of the rates notified to the Facility Agent by each Lender three Business Days prior to the first day of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of funding or refinancing an amount equal to the outstanding Loan during the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select (other than from KfW).

(f)Upon the LIBOR Discontinuation Date, the Replacement Reference Rate or, as applicable, the reference rate determined pursuant to paragraph (e) above shall also replace the Eurodollar Rate accordingly.

(ii)

in the opinion of the Required Lenders and the Borrower, generally accepted in the international or any relevant domestic syndicated loan markets as the appropriate successor to a Screen Rate; or

(iii)

“Replacement Reference Rate” means the reference rate which it is agreed in accordance with the above provisions will replace the Screen Rate for the purpose of this Agreement.

“Screen Rate Replacement Event” means:

(i)

(106)

successor administrator to continue to provide that Screen Rate, (C) the supervisor of the administrator of that Screen Rate publicly announces that such Screen Rate has been or will be permanently or indefinitely discontinued, or (D) the administrator of that Screen Rate or its supervisor announces that that Screen Rate may no longer be used;

(iv)

14.12 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.11, 4.04, 14.01 and 14.05 shall, subject to Section 14.13 (to the extent applicable), survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans.

14.13 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.13 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.09, 2.10, or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

14.14 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will use its best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Parent or the Borrower (other than to their respective Affiliates or their respective Affiliates’ employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company, Affiliates or board of trustees in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.14 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that the Hermes Agent and the CIRR Agent may disclose any information to Hermes or the CIRR Representative, provided, further, that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 14.14 by the respective Lender, (b) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to

(107)

have jurisdiction over such Lender or similar organizations (whether in the United States, the United Kingdom or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to an Agent, (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee expressly agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 14.14, (g) to a classification society or other entity which a Xxxxxx has engaged to make calculations necessary to enable that Lender to comply with its reporting obligations under the Poseidon Principles and (h) to Hermes and/or the Federal Republic of Germany and/or the European Union and/or any agency thereof or any person acting or purporting to act on any of their behalves. In the case of Section 14.14(h), each of the Parent and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such information may be used by Xxxxxx and/or the Federal Republic of Germany and/or the European Union and/or any agency thereof or any person acting or purporting to act on any of their behalves for statistical purposes and/or for reports of a general nature.

14.15 Register. The Facility Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment and prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the assignment or transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such assignment or transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Facility Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans. Prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans (as the case may be) shall be recorded by the Facility Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Facility Agent of a properly executed and delivered Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 13.06(a) or 13.07(a), respectively.

14.16 Third Party Rights. Other than the Other Creditors with respect to Section 4.05 and Xxxxxx with respect to Sections 5.15 and 9.06, a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement unless expressly provided to the contrary in a Credit Document. Notwithstanding any term of any Credit Document, the consent of any person who is not a party to this Agreement is not required to rescind or vary this Agreement at any time.

14.17 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Facility Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Facility Agent’s Frankfurt office on the

(108)

Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or an Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or an Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or an Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency; if the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

14.18 Language. All correspondence, including, without limitation, all notices, reports and/or certificates, delivered by any Credit Party to an Agent or any Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed by the respective recipients thereof, be submitted in the English language or, to the extent the original of such document is not in the English language, such document shall be delivered with a certified English translation thereof. In the event of any conflict between the English translation and the original text of any document, the English translation shall prevail unless the original text is a statutory instrument, legal process or any other document of a similar type or a notice, demand or other communication from Hermes or in relation to the Hermes Cover.

14.19 Waiver of Immunity. The Borrower, in respect of itself, each other Credit Party, its and their process agents, and its and their properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of its or their properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity from any legal proceedings, whether in the United Kingdom, the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Germany or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Credit Document Obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, the Borrower, for itself and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United Kingdom, the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Germany or elsewhere.

14.20 “Know Your Customer” Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and/or other applicable laws and regulations, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and/or such other applicable laws and regulations, and each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

(109)

14.21 Release of Xxxxx and the Parent Guaranty; Flag Jurisdiction Transfer. (a) In the event that any Person conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of the Collateral to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Collateral Agent to release any Liens created by any Credit Document in respect of such Collateral, and, in the case of a disposition of all of the Equity Interests of any Credit Party (other than the Borrower) in a transaction permitted by this Agreement and as a result of which such Credit Party would not be required to guaranty the Credit Document Obligations pursuant to Sections 9.10(c) and 15, each Lender hereby consents to the release of such Credit Party’s obligations under the relevant guarantee to which it is a party. Each Lender hereby directs the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or, at the Borrower’s expense, file such documents and perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the relevant guarantee, as applicable, and the Liens when and as directed pursuant to this Section 14.21. In addition, the Collateral Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Credit Documents when all the Credit Document Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Credit Document Obligations and expense reimbursement claims to the extent no claim therefore has been made) are paid in full and Commitments are terminated. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Credit Document relating to any such Equity Interests or asset of the Borrower shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or asset is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

(b)In the event that the Borrower desires to implement a Flag Jurisdiction Transfer with respect to the Vessel, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice thereof from the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonably efforts to provide, or (as necessary) procure the provision of, all such reasonable assistance as any Credit Party may request from time to time in relation to (i) the Flag Jurisdiction Transfer, (ii) the related deregistration of the Vessel from its previous flag jurisdiction, and (iii) the release and discharge of the related Security Documents provided that the relevant Credit Party shall pay all documented out of pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent or a Secured Creditor in connection with provision of such assistance. Each Lender hereby consents, in connection with any Flag Jurisdiction Transfer and subject to the satisfaction of the requirements thereof to be satisfied by the relevant Credit Party, to (i) deregister the Vessel from its previous flag jurisdiction and (ii) release and hereby direct the Collateral Agent to release the Vessel Mortgage. Each Lender hereby directs the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver or, at the Borrower’s expense, file such documents and perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the Vessel Mortgage when and as directed pursuant to this Section 14.21(b).

14.22 Partial Invalidity. If, at any time, any provision of the Credit Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired. Any such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall to

(110)

the extent possible be substituted by a legal, valid and enforceable provision which reflects the intention of the parties to this Agreement.

SECTION 15 Parent Guaranty.

15.01 Guaranty and Indemnity. The Parent irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i)guarantees to each Lender Creditor punctual performance by each other Credit Party of all that Credit Party’s Credit Document Obligations under the Credit Documents; or

(ii)undertakes with each Lender Creditor that whenever another Credit Party does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Credit Document, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(iii)agrees with each Lender Creditor that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Lender Creditor immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Credit Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Credit Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Section 15 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

15.02 Continuing Guaranty. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Credit Party under the Credit Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

15.03 Reinstatement. If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Credit Party or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Lender Creditor in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Section 15 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

15.04 Waiver of Defenses. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 15 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Section 15, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Section 15 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Lender Creditor) including:

(i)any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Credit Party or other person;

(ii)the release of any other Credit Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the NCLC Group;

(111)

(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 Credit Party 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 realize 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 a Credit Party or any other person;

(v)any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Credit Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Credit Document or other document or security;

(vi)any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Credit Document or any other document or security; or

(vii)

any insolvency or similar proceedings.

15.05 Guarantor Intent. Without prejudice to the generality of Section 15.04, the Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Credit Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Credit Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

15.06 Immediate Recourse. The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Credit Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Section 15. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Credit Document to the contrary.

15.07 Appropriations. Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Lender Creditor (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(i)refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Lender Creditor (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(112)

(ii)hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Section 15.

15.08 Deferral of Guarantor’s Rights. Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Credit Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Section 15:

(i)

to be indemnified by a Credit Party;

(ii)

to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Credit Party’s obligations under the Credit Documents;

(iii)to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender Creditors under the Credit Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Credit Documents by any Lender Creditor;

(iv)to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Credit Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Section 15.01;

(v)to exercise any right of set-off against any Credit Party; and/or

(vi)to claim or prove as a creditor of any Credit Party in competition with any Lender Creditor.

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Lender Creditors by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Lender Creditors and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Section 4.

15.09 Additional Security. This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Credit Party.

SECTION 16 Bail-In.

Notwithstanding any other term of any Credit Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties to a Credit Document, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party to a Credit Document under or in connection with the Credit Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:

(113)

(a)any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

(i)a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and

(iii)a cancellation of any such liability; and

(b)a variation of any term of any Credit Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.
