Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented.

Our operations are seasonal and results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Historically, demand for cruises has been strongest during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer months. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Earnings Per Share

A reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Net income	$	342,378	$	251,787	$	560,853	$	388,825
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding		227,096,142		227,384,616		227,102,560		225,805,901
Dilutive effect of share awards		502,465		2,890,140		757,057		4,054,999
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding		227,598,607		230,274,756		227,859,617		229,860,900
Basic earnings per share	$	1.51	$	1.11	$	2.47	$	1.72
Diluted earnings per share	$	1.50	$	1.09	$	2.46	$	1.69

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Deposits received from guests for future voyages are recorded as advance ticket sales and are subsequently recognized as passenger ticket revenue along with onboard and other revenue, and all associated direct costs of a voyage are recognized as cruise operating expenses on a pro-rata basis over the period of the voyage. Guest cancellation fees are recognized in passenger ticket revenue in the month of the cancellation. Certain of our product offerings are accounted for under the guidance included within multi-element arrangements and result in an allocation of the fair value between passenger ticket revenue and onboard and other revenue.

Table of Contents

Revenue and expenses include port fees and taxes. The amounts included on a gross basis are $80.3 million and $70.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $214.3 million and $184.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Foreign Currency

The majority of our transactions are settled in U.S. dollars. We translate assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in other currencies are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations within other expense. We recognized losses of $1.5 million and gains of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and losses of $1.9 million and gains of $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

The amortization of deferred financing fees is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statements of cash flows; however, for purposes of the consolidated statements of operations it is included in interest expense, net.

Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. Based on the recent performance of the Oceania Cruises’ reporting unit, we performed an interim Step 1 Test which consists of a combined approach using the expected future cash flows and market multiples to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. We determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as the Step 1 Test supports the carrying value of the reporting unit.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15 which amends Topic 230 (Statement of Cash Flows) to eliminate discrepancies in reporting certain items in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The transition should be made using a retrospective approach. We do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will be material to our consolidated statements of cash flows.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 which addresses improvements to the guidance on revenue from contracts from customers regarding collectibility, noncash consideration, and completed contracts at transition. Additionally, it provides a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. The effective date of this guidance is upon adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 which is presented below. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance to our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11 which is a rescission of Securities and Exchange Commission guidance related to the issuance of ASU No. 2014-09 which is presented below. The effective date of this guidance is upon adoption of ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance to our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 which does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 but clarifies two aspects: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The effective date of this guidance is upon adoption of ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 to improve multiple aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. We do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will be material to our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The ASU requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The ASU further modifies lessors’ classification criteria for leases and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The ASU will also require qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to give financial statement users additional information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance to our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 to simplify the measurement of inventory for all entities. This applies to all inventory that is measured using either the first-in, first-out or average cost method. The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance must be applied prospectively and will be effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance to our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05 to clarify a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license or if the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance will impact the accounting of software licenses but will not change a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The guidance will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. We have adopted this guidance and there has not been an impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 which requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, including identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 deferring the effective date for one year. We can elect to adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period or we can elect to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. We have initiated an assessment of our systems, data and processes related to the implementation of this guidance. This assessment is expected to be completed during 2017. Additionally, we are currently evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net increased $595.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the delivery of Seven Seas Explorer and the refurbishment of several ships.

Long-Term Debt

In June 2016, NCLC and Voyager Vessel Company, LLC, indirect subsidiaries of NCLH, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks which restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2014 (the “Existing Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility amends the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) (a) increase the aggregate amount of commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility from $625.0 million to $750.0 million (the “New Revolving Loan Facility”) and (b) increase the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the $1.38 billion term loan facility from $1.16 billion to $1.51 billion (the “New Term Loan A Facility”) and (ii) extend the maturity of the New Term Loan A Facility and the New Revolving Loan Facility to June 2021 (the “Extended Maturity Date”). The agreement incorporates a springing maturity date for the New Term Loan A Facility and the New Revolving Loan Facility such that both mature on (A) the earlier date that is 91 days prior to the final maturity date of NCLC’s $680.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2019 (the “5.25% Notes”) if on such date (x) the 5.25% Notes have not been repaid (or refinanced with indebtedness maturing after the Extended Maturity Date) by such date and (y) free liquidity does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.25% Notes by at least $50.0 million and (B) the earlier date that is 91 days prior to the final maturity date of NCLC’s $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the “4.625% Notes”) if on such date (x) the 4.625% Notes have not been repaid (or refinanced with indebtedness maturing after the Extended Maturity Date) by such date and (y) free liquidity does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.625% Notes by at least $50.0 million. NCLC used proceeds of approximately $1.59 billion from the New Term Loan A Facility and the New Revolving Loan Facility to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan Facility, the $1.38 billion term loan facility and a $350.0 million term loan facility.

Table of Contents

The New Term Loan A Facility and New Revolving Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum of (a) an adjusted LIBOR rate or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate in effect on such day and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1%, in each case plus an applicable margin that is determined by reference to a total leverage ratio, with an applicable margin of between 2.25% and 1.50% with respect to Eurocurrency loans and between 1.25% and 0.50% with respect to base rate loans. The initial applicable margin for borrowings is 2.25% with respect to Eurocurrency borrowings and 1.25% with respect to base rate borrowings.

The New Term Loan A Facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments that commenced in September 2016, in a principal amount equal to (a) in the case of installments payable on or prior to June 6, 2018, 1.25% of the loans outstanding immediately after the closing date under the New Term Loan A Facility and (b) in the case of installments payable after June 6, 2018, 2.50% of the loans outstanding immediately after the closing date under the New Term Loan A Facility, with the remaining unpaid principal amount of loans under the New Term Loan A Facility due and payable in full at maturity on June 6, 2021. Principal amounts outstanding under the New Revolving Loan Facility are due and payable in full at maturity on June 6, 2021, subject to earlier repayment pursuant to the springing maturity date described above.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the borrowings, we are obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate determined by reference to a total leverage ratio, with a maximum commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin for Eurocurrency loans.

In June 2016, we took delivery of Seven Seas Explorer. To finance the payment due upon delivery, we had export financing in place for 80% of the contract price. The associated $373.6 million term loan bears interest at 3.43% with a maturity date of June 30, 2028. Principal and interest payments are payable semiannually.

NCLC, a subsidiary of NCLH, entered into a Supplemental Agreement, dated July 26, 2016, by and among NCLC, as guarantor, Breakaway Four, Ltd. (the “Borrower”), as borrower, NCL International Ltd., as shareholder, and KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH (“KfW”), as facility agent and lender (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2012, by and among NCLC, as parent, the Borrower and KfW, as facility agent and lender (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount of commitments under the multi-draw term loan credit facility from €590.5 million to €729.9 million. Except as provided in the Credit Agreement Amendment, all other provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement remain in full force.

Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

Fair value is defined as the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

Fair Value Hierarchy

The following hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement dates.

Level 2	Significant other observable inputs that are used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources.

Level 3	Significant unobservable inputs we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.

Derivatives

We are exposed to market risk attributable to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and fuel prices. We attempt to minimize these risks through a combination of our normal operating and financing activities and through the use of derivatives. We assess whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are “highly effective” in offsetting changes in the cash flow of our hedged forecasted transactions. We use regression analysis for this hedge relationship and high effectiveness is achieved when a statistically valid relationship reflects a high degree of offset and correlation between the fair values of the derivative and the hedged forecasted transaction. Cash flows from the derivatives are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged transaction. The determination of ineffectiveness is based on the amount of dollar offset between the cumulative change in fair value of the derivative and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged transaction at the end of the reporting period. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, or if the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, then the amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is released to earnings. In addition, the ineffective portion of our highly effective hedges is recognized in earnings immediately and reported in other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. There are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and there are no credit-risk-related contingent features in our derivative agreements.

We monitor concentrations of credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which we conduct significant business. Credit risk, including but not limited to counterparty non-performance under derivatives and our New Revolving Loan Facility, is not considered significant, as we primarily conduct business with large, well-established financial institutions that we have established relationships with and that have credit risks acceptable to us or the credit risk is spread out among a large number of creditors. We do not anticipate non-performance by any of our significant counterparties. The following table sets forth our derivatives measured at fair value and discloses the balance sheet location (in thousands):

The fair values of swap and forward contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The Company determines the value of options and collars utilizing an option pricing model based on inputs that are either readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The option pricing model used by the Company is an industry standard model for valuing options and is used by the broker/dealer community. The inputs to this option pricing model are the option strike price, underlying price, risk-free rate of interest, time to expiration, and volatility. The fair value of option contracts considers both the intrinsic value and any remaining time value associated with those derivatives that have not yet settled. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk in its determination of all estimated fair values. Our derivatives and financial instruments were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, and we had no derivatives or financial instruments categorized as Level 1 or Level 3.

Our derivative contracts include rights of offset with our counterparties. We have elected to net certain assets and liabilities within counterparties when the rights of offset exist. We are not required to post cash collateral related to our derivative instruments.

Long-Term Debt

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $6.5 billion which was $16.4 million higher and $6.6 million lower, respectively, than the carrying values. The difference between the fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt is due to our fixed and variable rate debt obligations carrying interest rates that are above or below market rates at the measurement dates. The fair value of our long-term debt was calculated based on estimated rates for the same or similar instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities resulting in Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Market risk associated with our long-term variable rate debt is the potential increase in interest expense from an increase in interest rates. The calculation of the fair value of our long-term debt is considered a Level 2 input.

Other

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets of all other financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value.

Commitments and Contingencies

Ship Construction Contracts

We have Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Bliss and one additional Breakaway Plus Class Ship on order with Meyer Werft shipyard for delivery in the spring of 2017, spring of 2018 and the fall of 2019, respectively. These ships will be amongst the largest in our fleet, reaching approximately 164,600 Gross Tons. The combined contract price of these three ships is approximately €2.6 billion, or $2.9 billion based on the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate as of September 30, 2016. We have export credit financing in place that provides financing for 80% of their contract prices. We have an Explorer Class Ship on order with Fincantieri shipyard with an original contract price of approximately €422.0 million, or approximately $474.1 million based on the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate as of September 30, 2016. We have export credit financing in place that provides financing for 80% of the contract price. The Explorer Class Ship is expected to be delivered in the winter of 2020.

In connection with the contracts to build these ships, we do not anticipate any contractual breaches or cancellations to occur. However, if any would occur, it could result in, among other things, the forfeiture of prior deposits or payments made by us, subject to certain refund guarantees, and potential claims and impairment losses which may materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation

In the normal course of our business, various claims and lawsuits have been filed or are pending against us. Most of these claims and lawsuits are covered by insurance and, accordingly, the maximum amount of our liability is typically limited to our deductible amount.

Nonetheless, the ultimate outcome of these claims and lawsuits that are not covered by insurance cannot be determined at this time. We have evaluated our overall exposure with respect to all of our threatened and pending litigation and, to the extent required, we have accrued amounts for all estimable probable losses associated with our deemed exposure. We are currently unable to estimate any other potential contingent losses beyond those accrued, as discovery is not complete nor is adequate information available to estimate such range of loss or potential recovery. However, based on our current knowledge, we do not believe that the aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these matters will be material to our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We intend to vigorously defend our legal position on all claims and, to the extent necessary, seek recovery.

Restructuring Costs

Due to the Acquisition of Prestige, a number of employee positions were consolidated. As of September 30, 2016, we had no accrual balance for restructuring costs for severance and other employee-related costs. The expense of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is included in marketing, general and administrative expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Net Revenue, Adjusted Net Revenue, Net Yield, Adjusted Net Yield, Net Cruise Cost, Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, to enable us to analyze our performance. See “Terminology” for the definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures. We utilize Net Revenue and Net Yield to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that they are the most relevant measures of our revenue performance because they reflect the revenue earned by us net of significant variable costs. In measuring our ability to control costs in a manner that positively impacts net income, we believe changes in Net Cruise Cost and Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel to be the most relevant indicators of our performance.

As our business includes the sourcing of passengers and deployment of vessels outside of the U.S., a portion of our revenue and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, particularly British pound, Canadian dollar, euro and Australian dollar which are subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates versus our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. In order to monitor results excluding these fluctuations, we calculate certain non-GAAP measures on a Constant Currency basis whereby current period revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates of the comparable period. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP measures on both a reported and Constant Currency basis is useful in providing a more comprehensive view of trends in our business.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a supplemental financial measure as it is used by management to assess operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure in determining our performance as it reflects certain operating drivers of our business, such as sales growth, operating costs, marketing, general and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined term under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income as it does not take into account certain requirements such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments and tax payments and it includes other supplemental adjustments.

In addition, Adjusted Net Revenue and Adjusted Net Yield, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries, are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating business and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts and are used to supplement GAAP net income and EPS. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as key performance measures of our earnings performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparison to our historical performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EPS as a performance measure for our incentive compensation. The amounts excluded in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may vary from period to period; accordingly, our presentation of Adjusted Net Revenue, Adjusted Net Yield, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of future adjustments or results. For example, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred an $11.2 million write-off, primarily due to deferred financing fees due to the refinancing of certain credit facilities. We included the deferred financing fees as an adjustment in the reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income since these amounts are not representative of our day-to-day operations and we have included other write-offs of deferred financing fees as adjustments in prior periods.

Table of Contents

You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment used in calculating our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we consider our non-GAAP financial measures appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in our presentation. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other companies. Please see a historical reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure presented in our consolidated financial statements below in the “Results of Operations” section.

Financial Presentation

Revenue from our cruise and cruise-related activities are categorized by us as “passenger ticket revenue” and “onboard and other revenue.” Passenger ticket revenue and onboard and other revenue vary according to product offering, the size of the ship in operation, the length of cruises operated and the markets in which the ship operates. Our revenue is seasonal based on demand for cruises, which has historically been strongest during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer months.

Passenger ticket revenue primarily consists of revenue for accommodations, meals in certain restaurants on the ship, certain onboard entertainment, and includes revenue for service charges and air and land transportation to and from the ship to the extent guests purchase these items from us. Onboard and other revenue primarily consists of revenue from gaming, beverage sales, shore excursions, specialty dining, retail sales, spa services, photo services as well as certain Bareboat Charter revenue. We record onboard revenue from onboard activities we perform directly or that are performed by independent concessionaires, from which we receive a share of their revenue.

Our cruise operating expense is classified as follows:

•

Commissions, transportation and other primarily consists of direct costs associated with passenger ticket revenue. These costs include travel agent commissions, air and land transportation expenses, related credit card fees, costs associated with service charges, certain port expenses and the costs associated with shore excursions and hotel accommodations included as part of the overall cruise purchase price.

•

Onboard and other primarily consists of direct costs that are incurred in connection with onboard and other revenue. These include costs incurred in connection with gaming, beverage sales and shore excursions.

•

Payroll and related consists of the cost of wages and benefits for shipboard employees and costs of certain inventory items, including food, for a third party that provides crew and other hotel services for certain ships.

•

Fuel includes fuel costs, the impact of certain fuel hedges and fuel delivery costs.

•

Food consists of food costs for passengers and crew on certain ships.

•

Other consists of repairs and maintenance (including Dry-dock costs), ship insurance and other ship expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. Based on the recent performance of the Oceania Cruises’ reporting unit, we performed an interim goodwill impairment evaluation. Based on that evaluation, we determined that there was no impairment of goodwill because its fair value exceeded its carrying value. However, if the fair value of that reporting unit declines in future periods, its goodwill may become impaired at that time. As of September 30, 2016, there was $523.0 million of goodwill for the Oceania Cruises’ reporting unit.

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We have made no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Three months ended September 30, 2016 (“2016”) compared to three months ended September 30, 2015 (“2015”)

Revenue

Total revenue increased 15.6% to $1.5 billion in 2016 compared to $1.3 billion in 2015 primarily due to an increase in Capacity Days and improved pricing. Gross Yield increased 1.5%. Net Revenue in 2016 increased 17.4% to $1.1 billion from $975.2 million in 2015 due to an increase in Capacity Days of 13.9% and an increase in Net Yield of 3.1%.The increase in Capacity Days was primarily due to the delivery of Norwegian Escape in October 2015, Sirena joining our fleet in April 2016 and the delivery of Seven Seas Explorer in June 2016. The increase in Net Yield was primarily due to improved pricing. Adjusted Net Revenue includes a deferred revenue fair value adjustment of $3.0 million in 2015 related to the Acquisition of Prestige. On a Constant Currency basis, Net Yield and Adjusted Net Yield increased 3.7% and 3.4%, respectively, in 2016 compared to 2015. We refer you to the “Results of Operations” above for a reconciliation of Gross Yield to Adjusted Net Yield.

Expense

Gross Cruise Cost increased 10.5% in 2016 compared to 2015 due to an increase in total cruise operating expense and marketing, general and administrative expense. Total cruise operating expense increased 9.3% in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to the increase in Capacity Days as discussed above. Total other operating expense increased 10.0% in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses, which included an increase in marketing expenses of $16.0 million. Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively unchanged as the increase due to the addition of Norwegian Escape and ship improvement projects in 2016 was offset by the recognition in 2015 of an incremental $15.6 million of amortization of intangible assets due to the Acquisition of Prestige. On a Capacity Day basis, Net Cruise Cost decreased 2.6% on an actual and a Constant Currency basis as the increases in expenses discussed above were primarily offset by the decrease in fuel expense. The average fuel price decreased 11.5% to $500 per metric ton in 2016 from $565 per metric ton in 2015. Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel per Capacity Day increased 1.7% on an actual and a Constant Currency basis primarily due to the increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses discussed above. We refer you to the “Results of Operations” above for a reconciliation of Gross Cruise Cost to Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel.

Interest expense, net increased to $60.7 million in 2016 from $49.8 million in 2015 primarily due to an increase in average debt balances outstanding primarily associated with the delivery of Norwegian Escape in October 2015 and Seven Seas Explorer in June 2016 as well as slightly higher interest rates due to an increase in LIBOR rates.

Other expense was $5.3 million in 2016 compared to $1.7 million in 2015. In 2016, the expense was primarily related to unrealized and realized losses on fuel swap derivative hedge contracts and foreign exchange derivative hedge contracts and foreign currency transaction losses. In 2015, the expense was primarily related to the dedesignation of certain fuel swap derivative hedge contracts and the ineffectiveness of settled fuel swaps in 2015. The expense in 2015 was partially offset by income related to the fair value adjustment for a foreign exchange collar which did not receive hedge accounting treatment and foreign currency transaction gains.

In 2016, we had an income tax expense of $5.2 million compared to $3.5 million in 2015.

Nine months ended September 30, 2016 (“2016”) compared to nine months ended September 30, 2015 (“2015”)

Revenue

Total revenue increased 13.3% to $3.7 billion in 2016 compared to $3.3 billion in 2015 primarily due to an increase in Capacity Days and improved pricing. Gross Yield increased 1.3%. Net Revenue in 2016 increased 15.6% to $2.9 billion from $2.5 billion in 2015 due to an increase in Capacity Days of 11.8% and an increase in Net Yield of 3.4%. The increase in Capacity Days was primarily due to the delivery of Norwegian Escape in October 2015, Sirena joining our fleet in April 2016 and the delivery of Seven Seas Explorer in June 2016, slightly offset by the scheduled Dry-docks in 2016. The increase in Net Yield was primarily due to improved pricing. Adjusted Net Revenue includes a deferred revenue fair value adjustment of $31.5 million in 2015 related to the Acquisition of Prestige. On a Constant Currency basis, Net Yield and Adjusted Net Yield increased 4.1% and 2.8%, respectively, in 2016 compared to 2015. We refer you to the “Results of Operations” above for a reconciliation of Gross Yield to Adjusted Net Yield.

Expense

Gross Cruise Cost increased 10.4% in 2016 compared to 2015 due to an increase in total cruise operating expense and marketing, general and administrative expense. Total cruise operating expense increased 7.9% in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to the increase in Capacity Days as discussed above and an increase in Dry-dock expenses. Total other operating expense increased 13.2% in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses which included an increase in marketing expenses of $28.5 million and share-based compensation of $20.5 million. The increase was also due to recognition of a $43.4 million contingent consideration adjustment related to the Acquisition of Prestige which resulted in a reduction to expense in 2015 but not in 2016. Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively unchanged as the increase due to the addition of Norwegian Escape and ship improvement projects in 2016 was offset by the recognition in 2015 of an incremental $44.2 million of amortization of intangible assets due to the Acquisition of Prestige. On a Capacity Day basis, Net Cruise Cost remained relatively unchanged on an actual and a Constant Currency basis, due to the increases in expenses discussed above which were primarily offset by a decrease in fuel expense. The average fuel price decreased 14.9% to $468 per metric ton in 2016 from $550 per metric ton in 2015. Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel per Capacity Day increased 2.2% primarily due to the expenses discussed above (2.4% on a Constant Currency basis). We refer you to the “Results of Operations” above for a reconciliation of Gross Cruise Cost to Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel.

Interest expense, net increased to $188.8 million in 2016 from $153.2 million in 2015 primarily due to an increase in average debt balances outstanding primarily associated with the delivery of Norwegian Escape in October 2015 and Seven Seas Explorer in June 2016 as well as higher interest rates due to an increase in LIBOR rates. The increase in interest expense, net also includes a write-off of $11.5 million of deferred financing fees related to the refinancing of certain of our credit facilities.

Other expense was $13.3 million in 2016 compared to $35.6 million in 2015. In 2016, the expense was primarily related to unrealized and realized losses on fuel swap derivative hedge contracts and losses on foreign exchange partially offset by gains on foreign exchange derivative hedge contracts. In 2015, the expense was primarily related to the dedesignation of certain fuel swap derivative hedge contracts and the ineffectiveness of settled fuel swaps in 2015. Also included in 2015 was the expense related to the fair value adjustment for a foreign exchange collar which did not receive hedge accounting treatment.

In 2016, we had an income tax expense of $8.9 million compared to $6.9 million in 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of September 30, 2016, our liquidity was $905.4 million consisting of $155.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $750.0 million under our New Revolving Loan Facility. Our primary ongoing liquidity requirements are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and debt service.

As of September 30, 2016, we had a working capital deficit of $1.9 billion. This deficit included $1.2 billion of advance ticket sales, which represents the revenue we collect in advance of sailing dates, and accordingly, are substantially more like deferred revenue balances rather than actual current cash liabilities. Our business model, along with our New Revolving Loan Facility, allows us to operate with a working capital deficit and still meet our operating, investing and financing needs.

We evaluate potential sources of additional liquidity, including the capital markets, in the ordinary course of business. We believe that prevailing market conditions, particularly in the debt capital markets, are generally favorable. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our liquidity in the near term, taking into consideration our current and expected requirements, our assessment of prevailing market conditions and expectations regarding future conditions, and the contractual and other restrictions to which we are subject.

Sources and Uses of Cash

In this section, references to “2016” refer to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and references to “2015” refer to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion in 2016 as compared to $973.4 million in 2015. The change in net cash provided by operating activities reflects net income in 2016 of $560.9 million compared to a net income in 2015 of $388.8 million. The net cash provided by operating activities included timing differences in cash receipts and payments relating to operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $950.2 million in 2016, primarily related to payments for the delivery of Seven Seas Explorer, ship improvements, ships under construction and shoreside projects. Net cash used in investing activities was $330.5 million in 2015, primarily related to payments for ship improvements, ships under construction and shoreside projects.

Net cash used in financing activities was $99.0 million in 2016 primarily due to net repayments of our New Revolving Loan Facility, and other loan facilities and the repurchase of our ordinary shares and deferred financing fees and other. Net cash used in financing activities was $497.6 million in 2015 primarily due to net repayments of our Revolving Loan Facility and other loan facilities.

Future Capital Commitments

Future capital commitments consist of contracted commitments, including ship construction contracts, and future expected capital expenditures necessary for operations as well as our ship refurbishment projects. As of September 30, 2016, anticipated capital expenditures were $157.5 million for the remainder of 2016 and $1.3 billion for each of the years ending December 31, 2017 and 2018, of which we have export credit financing in place for the expenditures related to ship construction contracts of $47.8 million for the remainder of 2016, $762.6 million for 2017 and $732.9 million for 2018. These future expected capital expenditures will significantly increase our depreciation and amortization expense.

Table of Contents

In connection with the contracts to build these ships, we do not anticipate any contractual breaches or cancellation to occur. However, if any would occur, it could result in, among other things, the forfeiture of prior deposits or payments made by us, subject to certain refund guarantees, and potential claims and impairment losses which may materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Capitalized interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $8.9 million and $24.9 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $9.1 million and $24.2 million, respectively, primarily associated with the construction of our Breakaway Plus Class Ships.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

None.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2016, our contractual obligations with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year, including interest payments on long-term debt obligations, were as follows (in thousands):

	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Long-term debt (1)	$	6,503,978	$	566,911	$	1,104,015	$	3,231,018	$	1,602,034

(3)	For our newbuild ships based on the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate as of September 30, 2016. Export credit financing is in place from syndicates of banks.
(4)	Primarily for our usage of certain port facilities.
(5)	Includes fixed and variable rates with LIBOR held constant as of September 30, 2016.
(6)	Future commitments for service and maintenance contracts and other Business Enhancement Capital Expenditures.

The table above does not include $11.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits.

Other

Certain service providers may require collateral in the normal course of our business. The amount of collateral may change based on certain terms and conditions.

As a routine part of our business, depending on market conditions, exchange rates, pricing and our strategy for growth, we regularly consider opportunities to enter into contracts for the building of additional ships. We may also consider the sale of ships, potential acquisitions and strategic alliances. If any of these were to occur, they may be financed through the incurrence of additional permitted indebtedness, through cash flows from operations, or through the issuance of debt, equity or equity-related securities.

Funding Sources

Our debt agreements contain covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain a minimum level of liquidity, as well as limit our net funded debt-to-capital ratio, maintain certain other ratios and restrict our ability to pay dividends. Substantially all of our ships and other property and equipment are pledged as collateral for our debt. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2016.

Table of Contents

The impact of changes in world economies and especially the global credit markets has created a challenging environment and may reduce future consumer demand for cruises and adversely affect our counterparty credit risks. In the event this environment deteriorates, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

We believe our cash on hand, expected future operating cash inflows, additional available borrowings under our New Revolving Loan Facility and our ability to issue debt securities or raise additional equity, will be sufficient to fund operations, debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and maintain compliance with covenants under our debt agreements over the next twelve-month period. There is no assurance that cash flows from operations and additional financings will be available in the future to fund our future obligations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2016, we had interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to interest rate movements and to manage our interest expense. As of September 30, 2016, 56% of our debt was fixed and 44% was variable, which includes the effects of the interest rate swaps. The notional amount of outstanding debt associated with the interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2016 was $339.8 million. Based on our September 30, 2016 outstanding variable rate debt balance, a one percentage point increase in annual LIBOR interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $28.9 million excluding the effects of capitalization of interest.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2016, we had foreign currency derivatives to hedge the exposure to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates related to our ship construction contracts denominated in euros. These derivatives hedge the foreign currency exchange rate risk on a portion of the payments on our ship construction contracts. The payments not hedged aggregate €506.4 million, or $568.9 million based on the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate as of September 30, 2016. We estimate that a 10% change in the euro as of September 30, 2016 would result in a $56.9 million change in the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency denominated remaining payments.

Fuel Price Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in fuel prices relates to the forecasted purchases of fuel on our ships. Fuel expense, as a percentage of our total cruise operating expense, was 11.0% and 12.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 11.5% and 13.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We use fuel derivative agreements to mitigate the financial impact of fluctuations in fuel prices and as of September 30, 2016, we had hedged approximately 90%, 79%, 57%, 48% and 5% of our remaining 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 projected metric tons of fuel purchases, respectively. We estimate that a 10% increase in our weighted-average fuel price would increase our anticipated 2016 fuel expense by $6.5 million. This increase would be partially offset by an increase in the fair value of our fuel swap agreements of $4.5 million. Fair value of our derivative contracts is derived using valuation models that utilize the income valuation approach. These valuation models take into account the contract terms such as maturity, as well as other inputs such as fuel types, fuel curves, creditworthiness of the counterparty and the Company, as well as other data points.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of September 30, 2016. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Table of Contents

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We refer you to our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the risk factors that affect our business and financial results. We wish to caution the reader that the risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, elsewhere in this report or other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, could cause future results to differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements.

Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The first risk factor below is an amended and restated version of a risk factor included in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Conducting business internationally may result in increased costs and risks.

We operate our business internationally and plan to continue to develop our international presence. Operating internationally exposes us to a number of risks, including political risks, risks of increases in duties and taxes, risks relating to anti-bribery laws, as well as risks that laws and policies affecting cruising, vacation or maritime businesses, or governing the operations of foreign-based companies may change. Additional risks include imposition of trade barriers, restrictions on repatriation of earnings, withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries and changes in and application of foreign taxation structures, including value added taxes. If we are unable to address these risks adequately, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Operating internationally also exposes us to numerous and sometimes conflicting legal and regulatory requirements. In many parts of the world, including countries in which we operate, practices in the local business communities might not conform to international business standards. We have implemented safeguards and policies to prevent violations of various anti-corruption laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business by our employees and agents. However, our existing safeguards and policies and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective and our employees or agents may engage in conduct prohibited by our policies, but for which we nevertheless may be held responsible. If our employees or agents violate our policies, if we fail to maintain adequate record-keeping and internal accounting practices to accurately record our transactions or if we fail to implement or maintain other adequate safeguards, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions or severe criminal or civil sanctions and penalties.

We have operations in and source passengers from the United Kingdom and other member countries of the European Union. On June 23, 2016, voters in the United Kingdom approved an advisory referendum to withdraw from the European Union. The proposed withdrawal has resulted in increased volatility in the global financial markets and caused severe volatility in global currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, such as the euro, in which we do business. The proposed withdrawal could potentially adversely affect tax, legal and regulatory regimes to which our business in the region is subject. The withdrawal could also, among other potential outcomes, disrupt the free movement of goods, services and people between the United Kingdom and the European Union. Further, uncertainty around these issues could lead to adverse effects on the economy of the United Kingdom and the other economies in which we operate making it more difficult to source passengers from these regions. These events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

An impairment of our tradenames or goodwill could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

We evaluate tradenames and goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. Several factors including a challenging operating environment, impacts affecting consumer demand or spending, the deterioration of general macroeconomic conditions, or other factors could result in a change to the future cash flows we expect to derive from our operations. Reductions of the cash flows used in the impairment analyses may result in the recording of an impairment charge to a reporting unit’s tradename or goodwill. We will continue to monitor these intangible assets for potential impairment and perform interim testing of our tradenames or goodwill as necessary.

2.03 Notice of Borrowing . Subject to the second parenthetical in Section 2.02(a)(ii), 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.

- 31 -

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 Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender 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 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 under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments. 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 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.

(b) If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Credit Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount (in the case of overdue interest to the extent permitted by law) from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is (i) where interest is payable at the Fixed Rate, equal to [*] plus the Eurodollar Rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment constituted a Loan for successive interest periods, each of a duration of three months plus [*], or (ii) where interest is payable on the Loan at the Floating Rate and subject to paragraph (c) below, [*] plus the rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt,

- 32 -

the margin) which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). 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 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).

2.07 Election of Floating Rate .

(a) By written notice to the Facility Agent delivered at least 65 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.

(b) the initial Floating Rate Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Loan and each Floating Rate Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Loan shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Floating Rate Interest Period relating to a Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Floating Rate Interest Period, such Floating Rate Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(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; and

- 34 -

Floating Rate Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Floating Rate Interest Period.

(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).

(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:

- 36 -

(i) the Applicable Margin;

(ii) the rate determined by such Lender 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.

(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.

(f) If any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement, (x) it shall cease to be a Reference Bank and (y) the Facility Agent shall, with the approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrower, nominate as soon as reasonably practicable another Lender to be a Reference Bank in place of such Reference Bank.

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 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.

- 37 -

(b) When interest on the Loan 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 [*] less the fee for administrative expenses [*] less [*] 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”.

(c) It is understood and agreed that where the Initial Borrowing Date has not occurred, no amounts under this Section 2.10 will be payable by the Borrower if the Total Commitment is terminated no later than July 25, 2013.

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.

- 38 -

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:

(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 Lender’s failure to provide the required documents under this Section 4.04(b).

- 44 -

in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided , however , that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit, (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses and (iii) nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require any Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

4.05 Application of Proceeds .

(i) first , to the payment of all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent or any other Agent of the type described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Secured Obligations”;

(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;

(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

- 45 -

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 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.

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.

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.

(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 ”).

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 ec 3 Services Limited, having its registered office at The St Botolph

Building, 138 Houndsditch, London, ec3A 7AR , 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 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.

14.13 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 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 and (g) 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(g), each of the Parent and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such information may be used by 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 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

- 95 -

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 Hermes 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 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.

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 .

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

- 97 -

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 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

- 98 -

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;

(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.

- 99 -

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

(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;

- 100 -

(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.

SCHEDULE 1.01(b)

MANDATORY COSTS

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “ Additional Cost Rate ”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent as follows:

[*]

Where:

is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2.06 payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

For the purposes of this Schedule:

SCHEDULE 1.01(b)

“ Eligible Liabilities ” and “ Special Deposits ” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

“ Fees Rules ” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

“ Fee Tariffs ” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);

“ Participating Member State ” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union.

“ Tariff Base ” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules; and

“ Unpaid Sum ” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by any Credit Party under the Credit Documents.

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

SCHEDULE 1.01(b)

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

10.

The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.

The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.

Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

13.

The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties to the Credit Agreement any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

DELIVERY DATE OPINIONS

Pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, English Counsel to the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Lead Arrangers opine as follows (capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

the obligations expressed to be assumed by the Borrower in the Credit Documents governed by English law constitute its valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations;

(b)

there is no requirement under English law for the consent or authorisation of, or the filing, recording or enrolment of any documents with, any court or other authority in England and Wales to be obtained or made in order to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Credit Documents governed by English law;

(c)

English courts of competent jurisdiction will give effect to the choice of English law as the proper law of the Credit Documents governed by English law and will regard express submission by the Borrower to the jurisdiction contained in the Credit Documents governed by English law as sufficient to confer jurisdiction upon them over proceedings within the scope of the submission;

(d)

no stamp duty or similar tax is payable in the United Kingdom in respect of the execution or delivery of the Credit Documents governed by English law; and

(e)

each Assignment Agreement is effective to create valid security interests in favour of the Collateral Agent.

Pursuant to Section 7.05(b) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, Counsel to the Credit Parties opine as follows (capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

The Transaction Documents provide that they are to be governed by English law. To the extent that the Transaction Documents are governed by English law or the law of any other jurisdiction, we express no opinion as to those laws or their applicability to matters covered by this opinion, nor do we express any opinion as to whether or not New York law is applicable to the Transaction Documents. However, we are of the opinion that if the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the state of New York (without reference to New York choice of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction), the execution and delivery by each Credit Party of each Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance by each such Credit Party of its obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party do not breach or result in a default under, or result in the creation of any lien (other than the liens created pursuant to the Transaction Documents) upon any of the assets of

SCHEDULE 7.05

that Credit Party pursuant to any agreement listed on Schedule I to this letter (the “ Covered Agreements ”) (it being understood that a requirement to prepay loans under a Covered Agreement is not a breach of such Covered Agreement, and we express no opinion as to whether a prepayment is required under a Covered Agreement). If any Covered Agreement is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of New York, we have assumed such Covered Agreement would be interpreted in accordance with its plain meaning, except that technical terms would mean what lawyers generally understand them to mean for agreements governed by the laws of the state of New York. We express no opinion with respect to any provision of any Covered Agreement to the extent that an opinion with respect to such provision would require making any financial, accounting or mathematical calculation or determination.

Pursuant to Section 7.05(c) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, Bahamian Counsel to the Credit Parties opine as follows (capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

Under the laws of the Bahamas the Borrower is the registered owner of record of sixty-four sixty-fourth shares, being the whole thereof of the [ insert vessel name ] and the Vessel Mortgage constitutes the valid and legally binding act of the Borrower and the Vessel Mortgage is enforceable in accordance with its terms, and further, the Vessel Mortgage creates in favour of the Mortgagee a valid and effective first priority legal mortgage over the [ insert vessel name ] and there are no other charges, mortgages or encumbrances on record with respect thereto. It should be noted that maritime liens as set out in Section 281 of The Merchant Shipping Act of The Bahamas have priority over mortgages even if such liens are incurred after a mortgage has been registered.

(b)

No further registration authorization, approval or consent or other official action in The Bahamas is necessary to render any of the Documents or the security respectively created thereby valid, perfected and enforceable.

(c)

All filing, registration and recording fees required under the laws of The Bahamas in connection with the Vessel Mortgage and other fees necessary to ensure the validity, effectiveness and priority of any liens, charges and encumbrances created under the Vessel Mortgage have been paid.

(d)

The courts of The Bahamas will recognize as a valid judgment and enforce any final, conclusive and enforceable judgment obtained against a mortgagor in a United Kingdom court without re-examination of the merits of the case subject to registration of the judgment under the provisions of the Reciprocal Enforcements of Judgments Act of the Bahamas.

(e)

The Vessel Mortgage constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

SCHEDULE 7.05

(f)

No consents, authorizations or other approvals are required from any governmental or other authority of The Bahamas for the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Documents by any of the parties thereto or the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein.

(g)

Neither the execution nor delivery of the Documents by the Borrower, nor the performance of its obligations under the Documents, will contravene any existing applicable law or regulation of The Bahamas.

(h)

The Borrower is not entitled or required under any existing applicable law or regulation of The Bahamas to make any withholding or deduction in respect of any tax or otherwise from any payment which it is or may be required to make under the Documents (or any of them) and other than the fees paid in connection with the registration of the Vessel Mortgage no tax, impost, duty or registration fee is payable on any of the Documents in The Bahamas save for registration fees on the Vessel Mortgage.

(i)

Other than the fees paid in connection with the registration of the Vessel Mortgage, no stamp or registration duty or similar taxes or charges are payable in The Bahamas in respect of the Documents.

(j)

Under the laws of The Bahamas, the Mortgagee will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on any commercial activity in The Bahamas or subject to any tax of The Bahamas as a result of its entry into the Documents or the performance of any of the transactions contemplated thereby. It is not necessary for the Mortgagee to be authorized or qualified to carry on business in The Bahamas or establish a place of business in The Bahamas for the entry into or performance of the Documents.

(k)

It is not necessary or advisable to take any further action in the future in order to preserve the security interests referred to above or the priority thereof in connection with the Vessel Mortgage.

Pursuant to Section 7.05(d) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, Bermudan Counsel to the Credit Parties opine as follows (capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

Each of the Companies is duly incorporated with limited liability and is existing and in good standing under the laws of Bermuda (meaning that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax which might make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda).

(b)

The entering into of the relevant Opinion Documents and the execution and delivery of the relevant Opinion Documents by each of the Companies and the performance by each of the Companies of its obligations thereunder:

SCHEDULE 7.05

(i)

are within its corporate powers and have been duly authorised; and

(ii)

will not conflict with the memorandum of association or bye-laws of such Company or violate or result in the breach of any Bermuda law or regulation.

(c)

The relevant Opinion Documents have been duly executed by each of the Companies and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Companies, enforceable in Bermuda in accordance with its terms.

(d)

Based solely on the Litigation Searches, there are no judgments against, nor legal or governmental actions or proceedings pending in Bermuda to which any of the Companies is subject.

(e)

Based solely on the Company Searches, there are no notices to the Registrar of the passing of a resolution of members or creditors to wind up any of the Companies and no notice appointing a liquidator or receiver has been provided to the Registrar.

(f)

No authorisation, consent, approval, license, qualification or formal exemption from, or any filing, declaration or registration with any court, governmental or municipal authority or other public body of Bermuda is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Opinion Documents, the performance by each of the Companies of its obligations under the relevant Opinion Documents, the enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Opinion Documents.

(g)

It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in Bermuda of the Opinion Documents that they be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental or municipal authority or other public or regulatory body in Bermuda. However, on the basis that each of the Security Documents creates a charge over assets of the relevant Companies, it is desirable, in order to ensure the priority in Bermuda of the charge created, that such document be registered, and has been duly filed for such registration, in the Register of Charges in accordance with Section 55 of the Act. On registration, to the extent that Bermuda law governs the priority of a charge, such charge will have priority in Bermuda over any unregistered charges, and over any subsequently registered charges, in respect of the property subject to such charge. A registration fee will be payable in respect of the registration.

(h)

The Opinion Documents will not be subject to ad valorem stamp duty, registration, recording, filing or other fees, duties or taxes in Bermuda and no such fees, duties or taxes are payable in Bermuda in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Opinion Documents.

(i)

The choice of the English Laws as the governing law of the English Law Documents is a valid choice of law and the submission by each of the Companies to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts is valid and binding upon them

SCHEDULE 7.05

and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws:

(i)

which such court considers to be procedural in nature;

(ii)

which are revenue or penal laws; or

(iii)

the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda.

(j)

The choice of the Bahamian Laws as the governing law of the Bahamian Law Document is a valid choice of law and the submission by the Borrower to the jurisdiction of the Bahamian Courts is valid and binding upon the Borrower and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws:

(i)

which such court considers to be procedural in nature;

(ii)

which are revenue or penal laws; or

(iii)

the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda.

(k)

The payment obligations of the Companies under the Opinion Documents are direct, general and unconditional obligations of such Company and rank at least pari passu with all other present or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of such Company other than indebtedness which is preferred by virtue of any provision of the laws of Bermuda of general application.

(l)

None of the Companies nor any of their respective assets are entitled to immunity from suit, execution, attachment of legal process under the laws of Bermuda, whether characterised as sovereign immunity or otherwise from any legal action or proceeding in Bermuda (which shall include, without limitation, suit, attachment prior to judgment, execution or other enforcement).

(m)

No Bermuda taxes are imposed by withholding or otherwise on any payment to be made by any of the Companies under the relevant Opinion Documents or are imposed on or by virtue of the execution or delivery by the Companies of the Opinion Documents or any document or instrument to be executed or delivered under the Opinion Documents.

(n)

The courts of Bermuda will recognise as a valid judgment any final and conclusive judgment obtained against the Borrower by any party to the English Law Documents based upon such document in the English Courts under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty or multiple damages as defined in the Protection of Trading Interests Act 1981 (the “1981 Act”)) and such a judgment will be enforced by the Supreme Court of Bermuda

SCHEDULE 7.05

under The Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1958 (the “1958 Act”) without re-examination of the merits of the case provided that:

(i)

the judgment is final and conclusive notwithstanding that an appeal may be pending against it or that it may still be subject to an appeal in the relevant jurisdiction;

(ii)

the judgment has not been given on appeal from a court which is not a superior court; and

(iii)

the judgment is duly registered in the Supreme Court of Bermuda in circumstances in which its registration is not liable thereafter to be set aside.

(o)

The courts of Bermuda will recognise as a valid judgment any final and conclusive judgment obtained against the Borrower by any party to the Bahamian Law Document based upon such documents in the Bahamian Courts under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty or multiple damages as defined in 1981 Act) and such a judgment will be enforced by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under the 1958 Act without re-examination of the merits of the case provided that:

(i)

the judgment is final and conclusive notwithstanding that an appeal may be pending against it or that it may still be subject to an appeal in the relevant jurisdiction;

(ii)

the judgment has not been given on appeal from a court which is not a superior court; and

(iii)

the judgment is duly registered in the Supreme Court of Bermuda in circumstances in which its registration is not liable thereafter to be set aside.

(p)

Under Section 3 of the 1958 Act, the registration of the judgment of any of the courts referred to in paragraphs 14 to 15 in the Supreme Court of Bermuda involves the conversion of the judgment debt into Bermuda Dollars at the date of such court’s judgment. However, the Bermuda Monetary Authority has indicated that its present policy is to give the consent necessary for the Bermuda dollar award made by the Supreme Court of Bermuda to be converted into external currency. No stamp duty or similar or other tax or duty is payable in Bermuda on the enforcement of a foreign judgment. Court fees will be payable in connection with proceedings for enforcement.

(q)

No party to the Opinion Documents will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in Bermuda by reason only of the

SCHEDULE 7.05

negotiation, preparation, execution, performance, enforcement of, and or receipt of any payment due from the Companies under the relevant Opinion Documents.

(r)

It is not necessary under the laws of Bermuda:

(i)

in order to enable any party to enforce its rights under the Opinion Documents; or

(ii)

by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Opinion Documents by the parties thereto,

that such persons should be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Bermuda.

through internationally recognized independent first class insurance companies, underwriters, war risks and protection and indemnity associations reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent in each instance on terms and conditions approved by the Collateral Agent (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) including as to deductibles but at least in respect of:

(1) marine risks including all risks customarily and usually covered by first-class and prudent shipowners in the London insurance markets under English marine policies, or the Norwegian Plan or Collateral Agent-approved policies containing the ordinary conditions applicable to similar vessels;

SCHEDULE 9.03

(2) war risks including the Missing Vessel Clause, terrorism, piracy and confiscation, and, should Institute War and Strike Clauses, Hulls Conditions prevail, the London Blocking and Trapping Addendum and war risks (protection and indemnity) with a separate limit and in excess of the amount for war risks (hull);

4. If the Vessel shall trade in the United States of America and/or the Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States of America (the “EEZ”) as such term is defined in the US Oil Pollution Act 1990 (“OPA”), the Borrower shall comply strictly with the requirements of OPA and any similar legislation which may from time to time be enacted in any jurisdiction in which the Vessel presently trades or may or will trade at any time during the existence of the Vessel Mortgage and in particular before such trade is commenced and during the entire period during which such trade is carried on the Borrower shall:

(i) pay any additional premiums required to maintain protection and indemnity cover for oil pollution up to the limit available to it for the Vessel in the market;

SCHEDULE 9.03

(ii) make all such quarterly or other voyage declarations as may from time to time be required by the Vessel’s protection and indemnity association and to comply with all obligations in order to maintain such cover, and promptly to deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of such declarations;

(v) in particular strictly comply with the requirements of any applicable law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order with regard to financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on the Borrower or the Vessel with respect to pollution by any state or nation or political subdivision thereof, including but not limited to OPA, and provide the Collateral Agent on demand with such information or evidence as it may reasonably require of such compliance;

(vi) procure that the protection and indemnity insurances do not contain a clause excluding the Vessel from trading in waters of the United States of America and the EEZ or any other provision analogous thereto and provide the Collateral Agent with evidence that this is so; and

(vii) strictly comply with any operational or structural regulations issued from time to time by any relevant authorities under OPA so that at all times the Vessel falls within the provisions which limit strict liability under OPA for oil pollution.

5. The Borrower shall give notice forthwith of any assignment and/or transfer of its interest in the Insurances to the relevant brokers, insurance companies, underwriters and/or associations in the form reasonably approved by the Collateral Agent.

6. The Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and do all such things as may be necessary to confer upon the Collateral Agent legal title to the Insurances in respect of the Vessel and to procure that the interest of the Collateral Agent is at all times filed with all slips, cover notes, policies and certificates of entry and to procure (a) that a loss payable clause in the form reasonably approved by the Collateral Agent and exceeding [*] shall be filed with all the hull, machinery and equipment and war risks policies in respect of the Vessel and (b) that a loss payable clause in the form reasonably approved by the Collateral Agent and exceeding [*] shall be endorsed upon the protection and indemnity certificates of entry in respect of the Vessel.

7. At the Borrower’s expense the Borrower will cause such insurance broker and the P & I club or association providing P & I insurance to agree to advise the Collateral

SCHEDULE 9.03

Agent by telex or telecopier confirmed by letter of any expiration, termination, alteration or cancellation of any policy, any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Borrower of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Vessel, and to provide an opportunity of paying any such unpaid premium or call, such right being exercisable by the Collateral Agent on a vessel by vessel and not on a fleet basis. In addition, the Borrower or the Parent shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with any information which the Collateral Agent reasonably requests for the purpose of obtaining or preparing any report from an independent marine insurance consultant as to the adequacy of the insurances effected or proposed to be effected in accordance with the provisions contained herein as of the date hereof or in connection with any renewal thereof, and the Borrower or the Parent shall upon demand indemnify the Collateral Agent in respect of all reasonable fees and other expenses incurred by or for the account of the Collateral Agent in connection with any such report; provided the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to such indemnity only for one such report during any period of twelve months.

8. The Borrower shall procure that each of the relevant brokers and associations furnish the Collateral Agent with a letter of undertaking in such usual form as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent and waives any lien for premiums or calls except in relation to premiums or calls attributable to the Vessel.

9. The Borrower shall punctually pay all premiums, calls, contributions or other sums payable in respect of the Insurances on the Vessel and to produce all relevant receipts when so required by the Collateral Agent;

10. The Borrower shall renew each of the Insurances on the Vessel at least [*] Business Days before the expiry thereof and give immediate notice to the Collateral Agent of such renewal and procure that the relevant brokers or associations shall promptly confirm in writing to the Collateral Agent that such renewal is effected, it being understood by the Borrower that any failure to renew the Insurances on the Vessel at least [*] Business Days before the expiry thereof or to give or procure the relevant notices of such renewal shall constitute an Event of Default.

11. The Borrower shall arrange for the execution of such guarantees as may from time to time be required by any protection and indemnity and/or war risks association.

12. The Borrower shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time on request with full information about all Insurances maintained on the Vessel and the names of the offices, companies, underwriters, associations or clubs with which such Insurances are placed.

13. The Borrower shall not agree to any variation in the terms of any of the Insurances on the Vessel without the prior approval of the Collateral Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) (save in circumstances where the variation is imposed by the insurers or reinsurers without requiring the Borrower’s consent, in which case the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent of such variation in a timely manner) nor do any act or voluntarily suffer or permit any act to be done whereby any Insurances shall or may be rendered invalid, void, voidable, suspended, defeated or unenforceable and not to suffer or permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage nor to carry any cargo not permitted under any of the Insurances without first obtaining the consent of the insurers or reinsurers concerned and complying with such

SCHEDULE 9.03

requirements as to payment of extra premiums or otherwise as the insurers or reinsurers may impose. If a variation in the terms of the Insurances is imposed as aforesaid and in the absolute opinion of the Collateral Agent its interest in the Insurances is thereby materially adversely affected and/or the proceeds of the Insurances payable to the Collateral Agent would be adversely affected, the Borrower undertakes promptly to make such changes to the Insurances, or such alternative Insurance arrangements, provided that such alternative Insurance arrangements are available in the insurance market to the Borrower at that time, as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably require.

14. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, settle, compromise or abandon any claim in respect of any of the Insurances on the Vessel other than a claim of less than [*] or the equivalent in any other currency and not being a claim arising out of a Total Loss.

15. The Borrower shall promptly furnish the Collateral Agent with full information regarding any casualties or other accidents or damage to the Vessel involving an amount in excess of [*].

16. The Borrower shall apply or ensure the appliance of all such sums receivable in respect of the Insurances on the Vessel for the purpose of making good the loss and fully repairing all damage in respect whereof the insurance moneys shall have been received.

17. In the event of the Borrower defaulting in insuring and keeping insured its Vessel as hereinbefore provided then the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be bound to) insure the Vessel or enter the Vessel in such manner and to such extent as the Collateral Agent in its discretion thinks fit and in such case all the cost of effecting and maintaining such Insurance together with interest thereon shall be paid on demand by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent.
