relationship with the Venture or maintain such exclusive relationship on the
terms agreed under this Contract. In the event that the exclusive relationship
is terminated, and, so long as the duties, tariffs, taxes and other payments
listed in the Seventh Clause of the Contract as obligations of the Venture are
paid by the Venture, IRO shall permit the Venture to use the Pier on a
non-exclusive basis during the Effectiveness of this Contract and will provide

of first refusal throughout the Effectiveness period, to use the Pier with
respect to Other Routes. IRO shall notify the Venture in writing of any offer it
receives from any other party to use the Pier and shall immediately disclose the
details of such offer to the Venture. The Venture shall have a period of [*]
after receipt of such notice to decide whether it wishes to exercise such right
of first refusal. The Venture shall exercise its right of first refusal by
timely notifying IRO, in writing, of its intent to exercise such right of first
refusal. If the Venture fails to notify IRO within the aforementioned [*]
period, the Venture shall be deemed to have declined such right of first refusal
and IRO may contract with such party for the use of the Pier.
The following conditions shall apply in the event the Venture exercises
its right of first refusal:
(i) The Venture shall deposit in IRO's account, at least [*]
prior to the commencement date of the Other Route, a guarantee equivalent to [*]

* Marked text omitted pursuant to an application for an order for

(ii) The Venture shall at least match the offer of the company
proposing the Other Route, with the understanding that during the first two
years after the Beginning of Operations Date, IRO shall not grant Other Routes
to any other company, even if the Venture loses its exclusivity.
The Venture through this Contract guarantees that, independent of the
number of voyages made by the Cruise Ship during the first two years of the
Effectiveness, it shall pay IRO fees listed in Clauses Seventh A and B herein,
subject to compliance with the terms of this Contract.
The Venture, with input from the Pier's director, shall have the right
to determine which particular berth, dock or wharf may be used by it from day to
day for the berthing of said Cruise Ship. The berthing arrangements that are
provided for in this clause shall entitle the Venture to preferential berthing
rights (as compared to any other cruise ship which docks at the Pier) for any
particular Cruise Ship to be berthed, loaded or unloaded and readied for
departure. In the event that the Venture's Cruise Ship has not completed loading
and/or unloading, during any particular call at the Pier, due to a mechanical
breakdown, delay, schedule change or any other reason not imputable to IRO, then
and in that event, the Pier's director or his designee shall have the right to
require the Venture to move any such Cruise Ship from one dock, berth or wharf
to another berth, dock or wharf at no cost or expense to IRO if the extended
berthing of said Cruise Ship interferes with the flow of waterborne commerce at
the Pier.
Similarly, the Venture shall not directly or indirectly impede its
passengers from staying at the Hotel Rosarito Beach, but rather, on a
space-available basis, shall accommodate its passengers on-board the next Cruise
Ship in the event any have decided to lodge at the Hotel. Additionally, the

FIFTH. DOCKSIDE AREA. The particular berth, dock or wharf to be used by
the Venture during any particular time when a Cruise Ship is calling at the
Pier, shall have adjacent thereto a passenger gangway and other loading and
unloading facilities for the luggage of the passengers and sufficient land side
space for taxis and buses, at times of embarkation and disembarkation, without
blocking the movement of pedestrians or vehicles to the Hotel Rosarito Beach, as
shown on the diagram attached hereto as EXHIBIT 11. The Venture shall have the
right to use said dockside area for the purposes of this Contract during the
time at which any particular Cruise Ship is berthed at the Pier consistent with
the purposes of this Contract. The Venture shall keep every portion of the
dockside area in good repair and in a neat, orderly, clean, safe and healthy
condition at all times while being used by the Venture, including, but not
limited to, eliminating and removing all litter and trash from the dockside area
caused by the Venture, its representatives, agents, employees, invitees,
licensees, passengers, stevedores, subcontractors or others involved in the
loading and/or unloading of the Cruise Ship. IRO shall provide sufficient land
side facilities and personnel to assist in keeping cruise passengers and
associated pedestrian traffic isolated from other persons and from unauthorized
areas until the passengers are released by Mexican customs officials. IRO shall
also provide convenient access to the Pier for janitorial, security, baggage
handling, gangway and other personnel retained by the Venture, at the Venture's
expense, while the Cruise Ship is at the Pier.
SIXTH. CONDITION OF THE PIER. IRO, to ensure compliance with the
requirements for the construction of the Pier as set forth by SCT in the

"Estructuas y Puertos" S.A. de C.V. (a copy of the construction contract is
attached hereto as EXHIBIT 12), setting forth in such contract August 15, 1999
as the completion date for the Pier. Accordingly, IRO shall do everything within
its reach so that said contractor fully completes construction of the Pier
within the time and manner set

constructed and capable of receiving cruise ships alongside safely afloat
(including causing the Pier to have enough bollards, bits and other fixtures and
equipment to safely tie a Cruise Ship alongside) no later than the Beginning of
Operations Date and throughout the Effectiveness of this Contract. Furthermore,
IRO agrees that upon completion of the Pier, it shall have an average water
depth of at least [*] at the berthing area, considered at an average low-low
tide level. For further specifications, the SCT nautical survey is attached
hereto as EXHIBIT 13. In the event that water depth conditions mentioned above
do not exist, and because of that reason, the Cruise Ship cannot berth at Pier
in the area under Concession, [*]. At all events, the parties expressly agree
that in the event that a Cruise Ship cannot berth at the Pier in the area under
Concession for any reason, the Venture is not obliged to pay the amounts
referred at the Seventh Clause of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, in the event the Vessel is unable to dock at the Pier due to foul
weather or because it would be unsafe in the opinion of the Vessel's Captain to
do so, the Vessel shall anchor in the area under Concession (if to do so would
be safe in the opinion of the Vessel's Captain), PLAYMAR shall assure that
Mexican authorities document the Vessel's arrival in Mexico and the Venture
shall be obligated to pay the amounts referred to at the Seventh Clause for such
voyage as if it had docked at the Pier.
IRO shall install at the Pier, and have ready and in normal operating
conditions at the Beginning of Operations Date, all installations and services
required by the applicable laws, having at least nautical entry and exit signals

IRO agrees to deliver to the Venture, within the 20 days following each
tax and rights payment mentioned in Clause Seventh A, and Seventh B, and Seventh
C a copy of the corresponding receipts or any other document that irrefutably
proves that the payments were made duly and on time. In the event that IRO does

D. Linehandling may be accomplished by the Venture or by its
designated stevedore company without having the obligation to pay charges or
fees to the Pier.
E. Payment of the foregoing amounts shall entitle the Venture
to call at the Pier an unlimited number of times each day. Likewise, the parties
agree that the amounts set forth in this Contract are the valid ones at the time
of its execution. In the event that, because of Mexican authorities or by any
other cause the taxes related to Clauses Seventh B or Seventh C of this Contract
increase, IRO shall notify the Venture in writing within a period of time which
must not exceed twenty (20) days, so that both parties may adjust the amounts
