PRODUCT AND SERVICE SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This
Product and Service Supply Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between you (“you” or “Seller”),
Carnival Corporation and each operating company of Carnival Corporation and/or Carnival plc from time to time and as are
listed at the execution clause of this Agreement (individually an “Operating Company” and collectively, “Operating
Companies”) for the products and/or services that are the subject of this Agreement as specified on Exhibit A (“Products
and/or Services”). The Operating Company placing an Order (as defined in Section 1) with you will be solely responsible
for its actions (or inactions) hereunder and accepting or rejecting such Order, making payments, and handling all general operational
matters relating to the purchase, receipt, and use of the Products and/or Services. It is a condition of this Agreement and you
expressly agree that none of Carnival Corporation (unless it is a Buyer, as defined below), Carnival plc (collectively with Carnival
Corporation, “Carnival”) or any other Operating Company is responsible for any matter hereunder relating to
any other Operating Company or relating to such Order and you shall look solely to the Operating Company placing the Order for
recourse with regard to any matters relating to the Products and/or Services. In consideration of any Order placed by an Operating
Company you hereby waive any legal right or other right to recourse from any other Operating Company and/or from Carnival in connection
with any and all matters in connection with this Agreement. Carnival Corporation may provide notice to Seller that any subsidiary,
division, branch or operating company of Carnival Corporation and/or Carnival plc which is not signatory hereto as of the date
hereof (including any entity which does not currently have an unsigned signatory block set forth on the signature pages) (an “Additional
Operating Company”) is to become an Operating Company hereunder. Such notice will reference this Agreement, contain any
and all applicable information of such Additional Operating Company pursuant to Exhibit B and Exhibit C hereof and will
be executed by Carnival and the Additional Operating Company. Upon delivery of such notice to Seller, the Additional Operating
Company will be deemed to be an Operating Company hereunder. For the remainder of this Agreement, the term “Buyer”
refers to the Operating Company placing an Order.
The
following terms and conditions of this Agreement and the information set forth in each Schedule and Exhibit attached hereto
are incorporated into and form an integral part of each Order. Buyer’s Order of the Products or Services shall include
all of the following terms and conditions, and such other terms and conditions contained in any Order.
1. Orders.
An Operating Company may offer or agree to purchase the Products and/or Services from you on a non-exclusive basis pursuant to
a purchase order submitted by Buyer (each, an “Order”). Seller warrants that the prices shown on each Order
are complete, and no additional charges of any type shall be added without Buyer’s express written agreement. Unless specified
otherwise in Exhibit B for a particular Operating Company, the price in each Order is in USD. The Buyer and Seller
may mutually agree in writing, prior to you having finished shipment of the Order, unilaterally by an Order amendment make changes
within the general scope of the Order to the shipping or packaging instructions, the technical requirements, the delivery dates,
the delivery destination, the quantity of Products or the other terms of the Order. The Seller shall comply with any and all of
the above change(s) without delay and the parties shall subsequently agree to an equitable adjustment to the Order price to
reflect any increased or decreased costs incurred because of the amendment.
2. Order
Process and Conformity of Order. Unless otherwise specified in Exhibit B, Buyer shall provide Seller with an Order, and
Seller shall confirm each Order by return facsimile, e-mail or e-commerce trade acceptance confirmation to Buyer (a “Confirmation”)
within 2 business days of receipt by Seller. The terms in this Agreement and in any Order prevail over any additional or different
terms or conditions which may appear in any communication from Seller, including without limitation any printed form of Seller,
which shall not be effective or binding unless specifically in each case agreed to in writing by Buyer via initialing of the additional
or different terms or specifications. The foregoing applies notwithstanding Buyer’s acceptance of Products or Services or
Buyer’s execution of any forms or other writings provided by Seller incident to such acceptance. The Products or Services
shall conform with the provisions of Section 11. It is understood and agreed that no changes to any Order made by Seller in
any Confirmation shall be deemed effective unless the Confirmation is countersigned by Buyer and, absent such countersignature,
the terms of the Order as provided by Buyer shall be fully binding on the Seller.
3. Delivery. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE DELIVERY OF ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Buyer may cancel any Order without penalty if delivery
is not made by the date and time specified in the Order and such delay is not due to any action of Buyer or otherwise excused in
accordance with this Agreement. No change in the scheduled delivery date or performance will be permitted, unless Buyer has otherwise
agreed in writing. Buyer’s acceptance of Products or Services after the scheduled delivery date shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of Buyer’s rights with respect to such late delivery, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Seller’s obligation
to comply with future scheduled delivery dates and times. Buyer’s schedules are based upon the delivery dates shown on the
face of the Order. The Products or Services shall be delivered in the quantities and on the dates or on expiry of the periods specified
in the Order to the place(s) named therein at the risk of the Seller, but in no event shall the Products be shipped before
the earliest shipping date specified on the face of the Order. The Products shall be properly packed and secured in such manner
as to reach their destination such that upon arrival they conform in all respect with the Order, and a packing slip shall accompany
each parcel. Title to the Products shall pass to the Buyer on the earlier of payment and delivery to the Buyer or its agents. Transfer
of such title shall not in any way prejudice Buyer’s rights of rejection. If any or all of the Products are not delivered
on the date(s) specified in the Order, the Buyer shall be entitled to accept or reject any such Products and return rejected
Products at Seller’s risk and expense without prejudice to any other of its rights. Buyer shall also be entitled to recover
from the Seller any monies paid by the Buyer in respect of such returned Products together with any additional expenditure reasonably
incurred by the Buyer in obtaining other products in replacement. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary on the Proof of
Delivery (“POD”), signing a POD only signifies that a shipment was received by Buyer or its agent(s). Buyer
shall have thirty (30) days to review the contents of the shipment and if no claim is made within such thirty (30) days, this will
signify that the delivery was as indicated on the POD; provided, however, that Buyer will always be able to file a claim as to
the quality of the Products delivered, and Seller recognizes that the quality may not be ascertainable until the Products are used.
This Agreement contains specific brand identifiers for most items. Carnival expects that all items delivered will be of the correct
brand and item specification. In the event that Seller cannot deliver the contracted brand, the Buyer must be notified immediately.
In the event that a brand is delivered that is not the contracted brand and there is no prior written approval from the Buyer,
Seller agrees that Buyer shall treat such Products, as test samples which are free of charge to Buyer.
4. Shipping
and Risk of Loss. Seller shall ship all Products FCA its facility in accordance with Incoterms 2010, unless otherwise indicated
in Exhibit B or on the Order. Seller shall ship all Products to the attention of Buyer’s designee specified in the Order.
Seller shall keep on file for the term of this Agreement and one year thereafter each invoice for shipping charges an original
or a copy of the bill indicating that such charges have been paid, which will be available for Buyer’s review upon reasonable
notice. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all charges for shipping preparation, shipping,
handling, packaging, pallets, wrapping, labeling, bags, containers, documentation, certification and related matters, unless Buyer
has otherwise indicated in Exhibit B. Buyer reserves the right to reject C.O.D. (charges on delivery) shipments. Seller shall
not insure the Products for Buyer’s account during shipping except upon Buyer’s written request or if the shipping
method is parcel post. Seller shall bear all risk of loss or destruction of Products that occur prior to acceptance by Buyer. No
such loss or destruction shall release Seller from any obligations pursuant to any Order.
5. Health,
Environmental, Safety and Security Policy and Standards. Seller will comply with and meet all of the Buyer’s health,
environmental, safety and security policies and requirements in addition to any applicable laws, flag State requirements, local
regulations, and other environmental requirements. Buyer is ISO 14001:2015 certified and therefore takes proactive steps to consider
its operational impacts on the environment and implement initiatives to protect the environment from harm and degradation; Buyer
encourages Seller to do the same. Whenever there is more than one product that would satisfy Buyer’s
technical requirements, Seller will offer the most environmentally friendly of the alternative products unless Buyer otherwise
directs. Any applicable cost changes will be negotiated between the Buyer and Seller. Seller acknowledges that it has received
and read Buyer’s Health Environmental, Safety and Security Policy Statement (“HESS Policy”). Seller shall
also provide a statement to Buyer that any Products provided to Buyer comply with the EU Regulation No. 1257/2013 and the
Hong Kong Convention.
6. Documents
and Identification. Subject to each Operating Company’s requirements as set forth on Exhibit B or on an applicable
Order, all invoices, packages, shipping notices, instruction manuals and other written documents affecting the Order shall contain
the applicable Order number. Packing lists must be enclosed with each box or package shipped, indicating the contents. All Products
delivered must contain all documents required by applicable laws, including sanitary certificates, certificates of origin and Material
Safety Data Sheets if applicable, affixed to the outside of, as well as contained within, the parcel. Seller agrees to transmit
via facsimile or electronically delivery document, invoice or proforma invoice, all applicable certificates to Buyer 24 hours before
shipping any Products.
7. Availability. Seller shall ensure that it has available for purchase by Buyer at all times a sufficient quantity of Products to enable Seller
to fulfill all Orders from the Operating Companies up to the amounts, and otherwise meet the requirements of, Exhibit B attached
hereto.

later of the date of acceptance or receipt of a properly delivered and correct invoice (specifying discount availability). All

equal to any federal, state, or local sales, use, excise, privilege, value added, goods and services or other taxes that,
under Applicable Law, are Buyer’s legal liability and relate to payments made by it for Products or Services provided by
Seller hereunder (collectively, “Taxes”). If Seller has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Buyer
is responsible under this Section 8, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Buyer, unless Buyer provides
Seller with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. The parties shall cooperate to take
advantage of tax exemption. For clarity, Seller is responsible for taxes based on its employees, wages, net income, property or
net worth and other similar taxes imposed in lieu of or in addition to income taxes.

any supply made under or in connection with this Agreement by one party, or an agent of that party, is subject to GST, the payment
for that supply will be increased by an amount equal to the GST payable. The Buyer will not be obliged to make a payment on account
of GST under this Section 8 until the Seller has issued a tax invoice to the Buyer for the supply to which the payment relates.
If a payment made by one party to another party is a reimbursement or indemnification of a cost, expense, loss or liability incurred
by that other party, the tax invoice for the reimbursement or indemnification sum will be the cost before GST plus the applicable
GST.

Prior to the payment of any amounts by the Buyer for Products or Services under the Agreement,
Seller shall provide the Buyer with a properly completed and duly executed Form W-8 and/or W-9 (or successor form), as applicable.

as it may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(as amended), or any applicable provision of Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts

10. Inspection
and Quality Control. Buyer shall have the right to inspect and test all Products or Services. Buyer may inspect and test the
Products or Services at any time prior to delivery, upon delivery or after delivery. Buyer shall inspect and accept or reject the
Products or Services as promptly as practicable after delivery, regardless of prior payment, provided that failure to inspect,
accept or reject Products or Services shall neither impose liability on Buyer nor relieve Seller from responsibility for Products

free from defects in design, materials and workmanship and will conform to all applicable specifications, drawings, samples and
descriptions and will be merchantable and safe for use as intended or such other purposes as have been specified by the Buyer;
(c) any Products delivered or Services performed pursuant to an Order shall be provided free and clear of all liens, claims
or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever at all times; (d) Buyer’s purchase of Services and/or use of the Products

that it has not granted priority of supply status to any other person. Seller shall advise the Buyer in the event any Product has
experienced failure in service or is the subject of any safety warning or recall. Inspection, test, acceptance or use of or the
payment for the Products or Services furnished under an Order shall not affect the Seller's obligation under these warranties.
Seller shall be liable for all damages both to Buyer and to its customers incurred as a result of any defect or breach of warranty
in any Products or Services covered by any Order. The warranties of Seller in this Section shall survive the delivery of Products
or Services and are fully enforceable thereafter. Seller’s warranties in this Section are part consideration for any
Order; payment by Buyer is conditional on such warranties remaining in effect; and no modification or other change of such
warranties shall be valid unless agreed to in writing by Buyer. Seller's warranties shall run to Buyer, its successors, assigns
and customers, and users of products and services provided by Buyer. Seller agrees promptly to replace, rectify or correct defects
in any Products or Services provided pursuant to this Agreement or an Order without expense to Buyer, when notified of such nonconformity
by Buyer. In the event of failure of Seller to promptly rectify, correct defects in or replace nonconforming Products or Services,
Buyer, after reasonable notice to Seller, may make such corrections or replace such Products or rectify any defects in Services
performed and charge Seller for the cost incurred by Buyer in doing so; provided, however, that Buyer is under no affirmative obligation
to do so and shall not be responsible for any of its actions or omissions to act in connection therewith. A breach of warranty
shall be deemed to accrue, not when the Products are tendered or Services rendered, but when the actual breach is discovered.
12. Advertising. Seller shall not make any advertising or engage in any publicity having or containing any reference to Carnival or any Operating
Company or any of its personnel, without the prior written consent of Carnival Corporation or such Operating Company.
13. Disclosure

“Receiving Party”) technical or commercial know-how, spec-ifications, inventions, processes or initiatives which are
of a confidential nature and have been disclosed to, or otherwise learned by, the Receiving Party under this Agreement and any
other confidential information concerning the Disclosing Party’s business or its products which the Receiving Party may obtain
and the Receiving Party shall restrict disclosure of such confidential material to such of its employees, agents or sub-contractors
as need to know the same for the purpose of discharging the Receiving Party’s obligations to the Disclosing Party and shall
ensure that such employees, agents or sub-contractors are subject to like obligations of confidentiality as bind the Receiving
Party. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Seller shall keep confidential all data and information regarding Carnival
and/or any Operating Company that is not already in the public domain and is developed or disclosed as a result of this Agreement
or any Order. All such data and information shall be the property of the Operating Company.
14. Ethical
Standards. Seller agrees that, with respect to its role as a supplier to Buyer, including any interaction with any employee
of Buyer, it shall not (i) give or offer to give any gift or benefit to such employee, (ii) solicit or accept any services,
equipment or commitment, or confidential or proprietary information or data from such employee unless same is (a) required
under a contract between Buyer and Seller, (b) made pursuant to a written disclosure agreement between Buyer and Seller, or
(c) specifically authorized in writing by Buyer’s management, (iii) solicit or accept favoritism from such employee,

security or derivative thereof of Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc (iv) enter into any outside business relationship with
such employee without full disclosure to, and prior approval of, Buyer’s management. As used herein, “employee”

Seller, “gift or benefit” includes money, goods, services, discounts, favors and the like in any form, but excludes
low value advertising items, such as pens, pencils and calendars, “supplier ” includes prospective, current

and Carnival Corporation may terminate this Agreement as a whole with respect to Carnival and/or any and all Operating Companies
(including each Buyer), without charge or penalty or exercise any other remedy provided to buyers of goods or procurers of services
by law or in equity if Seller: (a) fails to make delivery of the Products or Services within the time specified in any Order
or any extension thereof; (b) fails to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement or any Order or in Buyer’s
reasonable judgment it appears as Seller will be unable to fulfill such obligations, including, without limitation, the breach
of any warranty provisions and Seller does not cure such failure within a period of two (2) days after receipt of notice from
Buyer specifying such failure; or (c) becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if there shall
be instituted by or against Seller any proceedings under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment or debt or insolvency
law in any jurisdiction; or if any application is made for the appointment of a receiver or trustee in respect of any of Seller’s
property; or if in Carnival Corporation’s or Buyer’s reasonable opinion any such action is likely to occur in the immediate
future. If any actions in (c) above are made against Seller’s property, then Buyer may offset any monies owed to Seller
to the extent Buyer is affected.
Buyer may
terminate an Order in whole or in part, and/or this Agreement (with respect to itself but not Carnival Corporation or any other
Operating Company) for its convenience at any time upon notice to Seller, and Carnival Corporation may terminate this Agreement
as a whole for its convenience with respect to Carnival and/or any and all Operating Companies (including each Buyer). Seller shall,
as directed by Buyer, stop work and the placement of further orders or subcontracts, terminate work under orders and subcontracts
outstanding, and take any necessary action to protect property in Seller’s possession in which Buyer has or may acquire an
interest. Seller shall be entitled to reasonable termination costs (not including lost profits), which shall not exceed the percentage
of the Order price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the receipt of the notice of termination plus actual
direct economic costs resulting from termination, provided that claims for payment due to termination are asserted within 45 days
from the date of receipt of notice of such termination and that Seller has fully complied with the terms of this provision. Buyer
may audit Seller’s books and records to determine termination costs. Buyer reserves the right to require the Seller to suspend
deliveries of Products or Services in the event of any strike, lockout, fire, accident, breakdown, delay or stoppage of Buyer’s
business or work or part thereof beyond the reasonable control of Buyer which prevents or hinders the use of the Products or Services,
and payment therefor shall be postponed until such time as Products or Services may be provided.
16. Rights
and Remedies. If Buyer cancels all or any part of any Order pursuant to Section 15 (Default) above, or in the event the
Seller does not have available for purchase by Buyer a sufficient quantity of Products as required by this Agreement (including
by reason of non-delivery to Buyer), the Buyer may procure upon such terms and in such manner as Buyer may deem appropriate Products
or Services similar to those cancelled or not available and Seller shall be liable to Buyer for any cost to cover for such similar
goods and all other damages of any kind incurred or suffered by Buyer as a result of any of the foregoing, provided that Seller
shall continue the performance of the Order to the extent not cancelled pursuant to Section 15. The rights and remedies of
Buyer shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or pursuant to this Agreement
or any Order. Seller assumes full responsibility for the acts and omissions of its own subcontractors, suppliers, employees, agents
and the employees and agents of its subcontractors and suppliers. BUYER'S LIABILITY TO SELLER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH

(“Losses”) arising from, in connection with or relating to, directly or indirectly, (i) any breach or alleged
breach of this Agreement or any Order, and/or (ii) acts or omissions attributable to the Party, its officers, agents, employees
and subcontractors. Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all Losses arising from, in connection with
or relating to the Products or Services. Buyer and Carnival may be represented by and actively participate through its own counsel
in any such suit, claim, demand or proceeding if it so desires, at Buyer’s or Carnival’s cost.
18. Intellectual
Property Rights. Materials, equipment, tools, dies, moulds, copyright, design rights or any other forms of intellectual property
rights in all drawings, specifications and data supplied by the Buyer to Seller or not so supplied but used by the Seller specifically
in the manufacture of the Products or supply of the Services shall at all times be and remain the exclusive property of the Buyer
but shall be held by the Seller in safe custody at its own risk and maintained and kept in good condition by the Seller until returned
to the Buyer and shall not be disposed of other than in accordance with the Buyer’s written instructions, nor shall such
items be used otherwise than as authorized by the Buyer in writing.
