(G)

By an amending and restating agreement dated 21 November 2017 (the "2017 Amending and Restating Agreement") entered into between the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and the Security Trustee (as defined therein), the Secured Parties (as defined below) agreed to amend the Original Facility Agreement and the other Finance Documents to reflect the changes to the Shipbuilding Contract pursuant to the terms of the Sixth Addendum, provided that:

(i)

the Acceptable Deposit be held in an account opened by the Borrower with the Account Bank which shall be pledged in favour of the Lenders, the Joint Mandated Lead Arrangers, the Agent, the SACE Agent and the Security Trustee; and

(ii)

the next instalment under the Shipbuilding Contract is covered by a Refund Guarantee.

(H)

Due to the unprecedented and extraordinary impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the cruise sector and cruise operators, SACE informed the cruise operators of its availability to evaluate certain measures (the "Temporary Measures") applicable in relation to certain qualifying loan agreements in order to assist companies which are financially sound but dealing with the impact of the temporary but unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic; the possibility to access to such measures was subject, amongst other things, to certain principles titled "Cruise Debt Holiday Principles" offered by SACE dated 15 April 2020 for cruise lines offered by SACE (the "Original Principles").

(I)

On 21 January 2021 SACE confirmed its availability to evaluate an extension of the Temporary Measures (the "Extended Temporary Measures"), again subject to certain principles set out in a document titled "Debt Deferral Extension Framework for ECA-backed Export Financings" dated 26 November 2020 for cruise lines offered by SACE (together with the Original Principles, the "Principles").

(J)

Pursuant to the consent request letter dated 3 December 2020, the Borrower and the Guarantor notified the Agent and the SACE Agent of the wish to benefit from the Temporary Measures and the Extended Temporary Measures in relation to certain loan agreements listed therein, including the Original Facility Agreement, and requested, amongst other things, the temporary suspension of certain covenants under the Original Guarantee and the addition of certain covenants under the Original Facility Agreement for a period until 31 December 2022 (the "Borrower Request").

(K)

On 25 January 2021, the Agent (for and on behalf of the Lenders (as defined in the Original Facility Agreement)) provided its consent to part of the Borrower Request in accordance with and subject to certain conditions as set out in an amendment and restatement agreement to the Original Facility Agreement dated _____(as amended and restated by the 2017 Amending and Restating Agreement) dated 17 February 2021 between, amongst others, the Borrower, the Agent and the SACE Agent (the "February 2021 Amendment and Restatement Agreement") (the Original Facility Agreement, as amended and restated by the 2017 Amending and Restating Agreement and as amended and restated by the February 2021 Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the "Facility Agreement").

(L)

The Parties have agreed to amend and restate the Facility Agreement as set out in an amendment and restatement agreement dated [●] June 2021 and made between, amongst others, the Borrower, the Agent, the SACE Agent and the Security Trustee in order to, inter alia, provide for an increase of the Facility for the purpose of financing an amount to be applied towards the second instalment of the Additional SACE Premium (as defined below) (the "June 2021 Amendment and Restatement Agreement").
