In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness or issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock or preferred stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Fixed Charge Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; provided, however, that the pro forma calculation of Fixed Charges shall not give effect to (i) any Permitted Debt incurred on the Fixed Charge Calculation Date or (ii) the discharge on the Fixed Charge Calculation Date of any Indebtedness to the extent that such discharge results from the proceeds of Permitted Debt.

In addition, for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued

operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) and any operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has determined to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, discontinued operations and other operational changes, business realignment projects or initiatives, restructurings or reorganizations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, discontinued operation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, operational change, business realignment project or initiative, restructuring or reorganization had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Lead Borrower as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, synergies or cost savings reasonably expected to result from the applicable event. Any calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may be made, at the option of the Lead Borrower, either (i) at the time the Board of Directors of the Lead Borrower approves the action necessitating the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or (ii) at the completion of such action necessitating the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Lead Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Lead Borrower may designate.

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent

twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable period.

(h) Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make or continue Advances hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such Advance; provided that such Advance shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the

obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Advance shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility.

Section 2.3 Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, and the Security Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon (i) between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrowers and the Security Agent, as relevant. Except as may otherwise be separately agreed, fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.4 [Reserved].

Section 2.5 [Reserved].

Section 2.6 Repayment of Advances.

(a) The Borrowers shall repay (a) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Initial Advances made by such Lender as provided in Section 2.6(b)(i), (b) [reserved] and (c) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Incremental Lender on the then unpaid principal amount of each Incremental Advances of such Lender on the Maturity Date applicable to such Incremental Advances as provided in Section 2.6(b)(iii).

(b) (i) The Borrowers shall repay Initial Advances on the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning on the last day of the first fiscal quarter to end after the Effective Date and ending with the last such day to occur prior to the Initial Facility Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Advances outstanding on the Effective Date (as such amount shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.6(d)); and (ii) the Borrowers shall repay Incremental Advances of any Series in such amounts and on such date or dates as shall be specified therefor in the Incremental Facility Amendment establishing the Incremental Commitments of such Series (as such amount shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.6(d) or pursuant to such Incremental Facility Amendment).

(c) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Initial Advances shall be due and payable on the Initial Facility Maturity Date and (ii) all Incremental Advances of any Series shall be due and payable on the applicable Incremental Maturity Date.

(d) Any prepayment of Advances of any Class after the Effective Date shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Advances of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section 2.6 in direct order of maturity to the scheduled repayments following the date of such prepayment; provided that any prepayment of Advances of any Class made pursuant to Section 2.10(a) after the Effective Date shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Advances of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section 2.6 as directed by the Borrowers.

(e) Prior to any repayment of any Advances of any Class under this Section 2.6, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic mail) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of an Advance shall be applied ratably to the Advances included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Advances shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid.

Section 2.7 Interest on Advances.

(a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it and owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. With respect to Advances denominated in Dollars, during such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the result of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(ii) Term SOFR Rate Advances. With respect to Advances denominated in Dollars, during such periods as such Advance is a Term SOFR Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the result of (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period for such Term SOFR Rate Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Term SOFR Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(iii) [Reserved].

(iv) [Reserved].

(v) RFR Advances. Each RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on each RFR Interest Payment Date for such Advances.

(b) Default Interest. After the date any principal amount of any Advance is due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrowers shall have become due and payable, the Borrowers shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above (in each case, as certified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers (which certification shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error)).

Section 2.8 Interest Rate Determination.

(a) If the Borrowers shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders and such Advances shall, on such last day, automatically be continued as an Advance with an Interest Period having a duration of one month.

(b) If the Borrowers fail to Convert any Term SOFR Rate Advance denominated in Dollars prior to the expiration of the Interest Period for such Term SOFR Rate Advance, the Interest Period for such Term SOFR Rate Advance shall convert to an Interest Period of one month.

Section 2.9 Optional Conversion or Continuation of Advances. The Borrowers may on any Business Day, upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit C not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuation and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.8 and 3.1, Convert all Term SOFR Rate Advances comprising the same Borrowing into Base Rate Advances and all Base Rate Advances comprising the same Borrowing into Term SOFR Rate Advances; provided, however, that (a) any Conversion of Term SOFR Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Rate Advances, (b) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Term SOFR Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the Borrowing Minimum or shall be an amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and (c) no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.2(c). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Term SOFR Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.

Section 2.10 Prepayments of Advances.

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10.

(b) Mandatory. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales or an Event of Loss that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 6.2.5(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $250.0 million (or at an earlier time, at the option of the Borrowers), within ten Business Days thereof, the Company will prepay Advances and may make an offer to all holders of other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral and that is pari passu with Obligations or any Guarantees with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets or events of loss to purchase, prepay or redeem (such other Indebtedness, “Pari Passu Prepayment Indebtedness”) the maximum principal amount of Advances and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an offer to holders of Pari Passu Prepayment Indebtedness, the Company shall prepay Advances in an amount equal to such Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Advances and such other pari passu Indebtedness required to be prepaid or redeemed or tendered into an applicable offer to prepay or redeem, in each case, hereunder or under the applicable documentation governing such Indebtedness exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Advances and such other Indebtedness shall be prepaid, redeemed or repurchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed, as applicable.

(c) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under this Section 2.10, the Borrowers shall, subject to the next sentence, specify the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid in the notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Advances made at a time when Advances of more than one Class are outstanding, the Company shall select Advances to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Advances pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class;

provided that the amounts so allocable to Incremental Advances of any Series may be applied to other Borrowings as provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic mail) at least one Business Day (or such shorter period as may be established by the Administrative Agent) prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Advances pursuant to this Section 2.10 (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the payment that would have been applied to prepay Advances but was so declined shall be retained by the Borrowers.

(d) The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or electronic mail) of any optional prepayment and, to the extent practicable, any mandatory prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term SOFR Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, one Business Day (or two Business Days, in the case of a mandatory prepayment) before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of prepayment of Advances pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type and currency as provided in Section 2.2(a), except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Advances included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.7.

(e) All (i) Permitted Amendments, amendments, amendments and restatements or other modifications of this Agreement on or prior to the date that is six months after the Effective Date constituting Repricing Transactions, (ii) repayments of the obligations owing to, or replacements of, a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 11.1 occurring on or prior to the date that is six months after the Effective Date in connection with any amendment constituting a Repricing Transaction and (iii) prepayments in connection with any Repricing Transaction effected on or prior to the date that is six months after the Effective Date, shall in each case be accompanied by a fee payable to the Initial Lenders in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Advances so prepaid or repaid (or in the case of transactions described in clause (i) above, the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Advances amended or modified in the applicable Repricing Transaction). Such fee shall be paid by the Company to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Initial Lenders on the date of such prepayment.

The Company hereby expressly waives (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) the provisions of any present or future statute or other law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the foregoing applicable premium or other premium payable pursuant to section 2.10(e) in connection with any such events.

Section 2.11 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Local time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of a Lender Assignment Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 11.11.3, from and after the effective date specified in such Lender Assignment Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Lender Assignment Agreement shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, to the extent the Base Rate is computed by reference to the Prime Rate, shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Base Rate, to the extent the Base Rate is not computed by reference to the Prime Rate, the Term SOFR Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term SOFR Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day and provided, further, that any such adjustment to the payment date shall in each case be made in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(e) To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrowers under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than Dollars, the Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11; provided that the Borrowers and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrowers or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this

Section 2.11(e) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrowers agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.11(e).

Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances of any Class owing to it (other than (x) pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7. 11.3 or 11.4 or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Commitments or Advances of any Class in accordance with Section 11.11.1, Section 11.11.2 or Section 11.11.4) in excess of its Ratable Share of payments on account of the Advances of such Class obtained by all the Lenders in respect of such Class, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from such other Lenders such participations in the Advances of such Class owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. For purposes of clause (b) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date(s) on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) or Advance(s) (as applicable) to which such participation relates.

Section 2.13 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.11.3 shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrowers may on one or more occasions after the Effective Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of Incremental Commitments; provided, except with respect to Indebtedness that constitutes Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any Indebtedness secured pursuant to clause (B), (C) or (E) of the definition of Permitted Collateral Liens (it being understood that to the extent the refinanced Indebtedness consists of Junior Obligations, such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness shall be Junior Obligations), that after giving pro forma effect thereto and the use of proceeds thereof, the Loan-to-Value Ratio does not exceed 25%. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date on which the Lead Borrower proposes that the Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) the amount of the Incremental Commitments being requested (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment and (y) any Person that the Lead Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Assignee).

(b) The terms and conditions of any Incremental Facility and the Incremental Advances to be made thereunder shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, identical to those of the Initial Commitments and Initial Advances; provided that (i) the upfront fees, interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Facility and Incremental Advances shall be determined by the Lead Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Commitments; provided that if the weighted average yield relating to any Incremental Advance established or incurred exceeds the weighted average yield relating to any Class of Advances immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment by more than 0.50% (to be determined by the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practices, after giving effect to margins, upfront or similar fees, or original issue discount, in each case shared with all lenders or holders thereof and applicable interest rate floors (but only to the extent that an increase in the interest rate floor applicable to such Class of Advances would result in an increase in an interest rate then in effect for such Class of Advances hereunder)), then the Applicable Margin relating to such Class of Advances shall be adjusted so that the weighted average yield relating to such Incremental Advances shall not exceed the weighted average yield relating to such Class of Advances by more than 0.50%; provided further that, the benefit of the foregoing proviso shall not apply with respect to (x) Incremental Advances that have a weighted average life to maturity and an Incremental Maturity Date, in each case, that is 12 months or longer than the weighted average life to maturity of the Initial Advances and (y) any Series of Incremental Advances (the “Declining Series”), with respect to the incurrence of other Incremental Advances if the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment in respect of the Declining Series so provides, (ii) except in the case of an Incremental Facility effected as an increase to an existing Class of Advances or as Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, (a) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Advances shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Advances with the latest Maturity Date (calculated based on the weighted average life to maturity of such Advances as of the date of funding thereof (giving effect to any amendments thereto)) and (b) no Incremental Maturity Date shall be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to any Advance, (iii) any Incremental Facility shall be

secured only by all or a portion of the Collateral securing the Obligations and shall be guaranteed only by the Loan Parties and (iv) to the extent the terms and conditions of any Incremental Facility and Incremental Advances are not identical to the terms and conditions of the Initial Commitments and the Initial Advances (except to the extent permitted pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)), either (A) such terms and conditions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (B) to the extent such terms and conditions are more favorable to the Incremental Lenders than the terms and conditions of any then-existing Class of Commitments or Advances, this Agreement shall be amended in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to apply such terms and conditions to each such Class of Commitments and Advances. Any Incremental Commitments established pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment that do not have identical terms and conditions, and any Incremental Advances made thereunder, shall be designated as a separate series (each a “Series”) of Incremental Commitments and Incremental Advances for all purposes of this Agreement. Each Incremental Facility and all extensions of credit thereunder shall be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the other Obligations.

(c) The Incremental Commitments and Incremental Facilities relating thereto shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Amendments executed and delivered by the Borrowers, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Incremental Commitments shall become effective unless (i) no Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of any Incremental Acquisition Facility, no Event of Default under Section 7.1.1 or 7.1.6) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments shall have been funded as Advances on such date), (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents (or, in the case of any Incremental Acquisition Facility, the Specified Representations and the Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations) shall be true and correct (A) in the case of such representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such prior date, (iii) the Company shall make any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.4 in connection with such Incremental Commitments and the related transactions under this Section 2.14 and (iv) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Each Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.14.

(d) Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Commitment of any Incremental Lender, (i) such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Advances of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Advances of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Advances of the applicable Class) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, each Lender holding an Incremental Commitment of any

Series shall make a loan to the Company in an amount equal to such Incremental Commitment on the date specified in such Incremental Facility Amendment.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Company referred to in Section 2.14(a) and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof.

Section 2.15 Loan Modification Offers.

(a) The Lead Borrower may on one or more occasions after the Effective Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all (and not fewer than all) the Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Loan Modification Offer and (ii) the date on which such Loan Modification Offer is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Advance and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Advances and Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. With respect to all Permitted Amendments consummated by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Permitted Amendments shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.10 and (ii) any Loan Modification Offer, unless contemplating a Maturity Date already in effect hereunder pursuant to a previously consummated Permitted Amendment, must be in a minimum amount of $25.0 million (or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that the Lead Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Amendment that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Loan Modification Offer in the Lead Borrower’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Lead Borrower) of Commitments or Advances of any or all Affected Classes be extended. If the aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Advances of any Affected Class in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Loan Modification Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Advances of such Affected Class offered to be extended by the Company pursuant to such Loan Modification Offer, then the Commitments and Advances of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Loan Modification Offer.

(b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to a Loan Modification Agreement executed and delivered by the Borrowers, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct (A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that specifically relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such earlier date, (iii) the Borrowers shall have delivered, or agreed to deliver by a date following the effectiveness of such Permitted Amendment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents (including reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments to Security Documents, in each case

to the extent applicable) as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith and (iv) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied (unless waived by the Lead Borrower). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.15, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Advances and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new Class of loans and/or commitments hereunder (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendments); provided that (i) all Borrowings, all mandatory prepayments of Advances and all reductions of Commitments shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Commitments (i.e., both extended and nonextended), until the repayment of the Advances attributable to the non-extended Commitments (and the termination of the non-extended Commitments) on the relevant Maturity Date (unless the Loan Modification Agreement provides that the extended Advances receive less than their ratable share of any mandatory prepayments). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.15. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 11.1 to the contrary.

Section 2.16 Loan Purchases.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, a Purchasing Borrower Party may from time to time, in its discretion, conduct modified Dutch auctions to make Auction Purchase Offers, each such Auction Purchase Offer to be managed by an investment bank of recognized standing selected by the Lead Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”) and to be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.16 and the Auction Procedures, in each case, so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of purchase of any Advances or on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice;

(ii) the assigning Lender and the Purchasing Borrower Party shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Purchasing Borrower Party Lender Assignment Agreement;

(iii) [reserved];

(iv) the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Advances that the Purchasing Borrower Party offers to purchase in any Auction Purchase Offer shall be no less than $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion);

(v) any Advances assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder, and such Advances may not be resold (it being understood and agreed that any gains or losses by any Purchasing Borrower Party upon purchase or acquisition and cancellation of such Advances shall not be taken into account in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA);

(vi) no more than one Auction Purchase Offer with respect to any Class may be ongoing at any one time and no more than four Auction Purchase Offers (regardless of Class) may be made in any one year; and

(vii) at the time of each purchase of Advances through an Auction Purchase Offer, the Lead Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of a Financial Officer of the Lead Borrower certifying as to compliance with the preceding clause (i).

(b) A Purchasing Borrower Party must terminate any Auction Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Advances pursuant to such Auction Purchase Offer. If a Purchasing Borrower Party commences any Auction Purchase Offer (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of such Auction Purchase Offer have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Purchasing Borrower Party reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the consummation of such Auction Purchase Offer shall be satisfied, then the Purchasing Borrower Party shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of such Auction Purchase Offer as a result of the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Auction Purchase Offer, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Advances of any Class or Classes made by a Purchasing Borrower Party pursuant to this Section 2.16, (x) the Purchasing Borrower Party shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Advances of the applicable Class or Classes up to the settlement date of such purchase and (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Purchasing Borrower Party and the cancellation of the purchased Advances) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 or any other provision hereof. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auction Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.16 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auction Purchase Offer). The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article X to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction Purchase Offer.

ARTICLE III

CERTAIN TERM SOFR RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Term SOFR Rate Lending Unlawful. If the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over such Lender asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Advance bearing interest at a rate based on the Term SOFR Rate, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Advances bearing interest at a rate based on the Term SOFR Rate shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrowers, the Administrative

Agent and each other Lender, forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, provided that such Lender’s obligation to make, continue and maintain Advances hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain Advances bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrowers that is the equivalent of the sum of the Term SOFR Rate for the relevant Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Term SOFR Rate Advances or, if such negotiated rate is not agreed upon by the Borrowers and such Lender within fifteen Business Days, a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Term SOFR Rate Advances for the relevant Interest Period.

Section 3.2 [Reserved].

Section 3.3 Increased Costs, etc. If a change in any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement (including by introduction or adoption of any new treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement) or in the interpretation thereof or in its application to the Borrowers, or if compliance by any Lender with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law, and for the avoidance of doubt, including any changes resulting from (i) requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and in each case for both clauses (i) and (ii), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) of any governmental or other authority including any agency of the United States, the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the Effective Date, shall:

(a) subject any Agent or Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes); or

(b) [reserved]; or

(c) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity or capital adequacy requirements (other than the reserve costs described in Section 3.7) or other banking or monetary controls or requirements which affect the manner in which a Lender shall allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder or require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, any Lender (provided that such Lender shall, unless prohibited by law, allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder in a manner which is consistent with its present treatment of the allocation of its capital resources); or

(d) impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its commitment to lend hereunder, and the result of any of the foregoing is either (i) to increase the cost to such Lender of making Advances or maintaining its Commitment or any part thereof, (ii) to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender or its effective return hereunder or on its capital or (iii) to cause such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then and in any such case if such increase or reduction in the opinion of such Lender materially affects the interests of such Lender, (A) the Lender concerned shall (through the Administrative Agent) notify the Borrowers of the occurrence of such event and use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the effects of such law, regulation or regulatory requirement or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be

otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (B) the Lead Borrower shall forthwith upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction and ancillary expenses, including taxes, incurred as a result of such adjustment. Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the event leading to such additional cost, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such additional cost, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is the Lender’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions, and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstance is of general application to the commercial banking industry in such Lender’s jurisdiction of organization or in the relevant jurisdiction in which such Lender does business. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the circumstance giving rise to such cost or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

Section 3.4 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (other than loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as a Term SOFR Rate Advance or RFR Advance as a result of:

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Term SOFR Rate Advances on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise;

(b) any Term SOFR Rate Advances not being made in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing therefor due to the fault of the Borrowers or as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV not being satisfied;

(c) (i) any payment of any principal of any RFR Advance other than on the RFR Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, (ii) the failure to borrow or prepay any RFR Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked) or (iii) the assignment of any RFR Loan other than on the RFR Interest Payment Date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.8,

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, within five Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall include calculations in reasonable detail setting forth the loss or expense to such Lender.

Section 3.5 Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law and for the avoidance of

doubt, including any changes resulting from (i) requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and in each case for both clauses (i) and (ii), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority increases the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitments or the Advances made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such change in circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall immediately pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. Any such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy or liquidity requirements which have been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such lowered return, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is such Lender’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request for such additional amounts is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstances is of general application to the commercial banking industry in the jurisdictions in which such Lender does business. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, deem applicable. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid such reduction in such rate of return and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

Section 3.6 Taxes.

(a) All payments by any Loan Party of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.6) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of a payment received by an Agent for its own account, the applicable Lender Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 3.6, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.6 agrees, if requested by the Lead Borrower, to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office, or assign its rights hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that this shall not affect or postpone any obligations of the Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 3.6. The Lead Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(e) Without duplication of any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or Section 3.6(b), the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Agent or Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Agent or Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.11.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).

(g) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.6(h)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by Law or upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; and

(ii) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter

when required by law or upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two duly completed copies of the following, as applicable:

(A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the applicable form of Exhibit H (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Company as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership, or is a Foreign Lender that has granted a participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W- 9, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required documentation from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate shall be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)).

(E) any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax Laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, any United States federal withholding Tax on any payments to such Lender under any Loan Document, together with supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(j) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations

under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 3.7 [Reserved].

Section 3.8 Replacement Lenders, etc. If the Borrowers shall be required to make any payment to any Lender pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 or 3.7, the Borrowers shall be entitled at any time (so long as no Default and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) within 180 days after receipt of notice from such Lender of such required payment to (a) prepay the affected portion of such Lender’s Advances in full, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such prepayment (provided that the Borrowers shall not prepay any such Lender pursuant to this clause (a) without replacing such Lender pursuant to the following clause (b) until a 30-day period shall have elapsed during which the Borrowers shall have attempted in good faith to replace such Lender), and/or (b) at any time, replace such Lender with another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that:

(i) each such assignment shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and

(ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrowers or one or more assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Borrowers that, as of the Effective Date (or, with respect to any Lender not a party hereto on the Effective Date, on the date that such Lender becomes a party hereto), there is no existing treaty, law, regulation, regulatory requirement, interpretation, directive, guideline, decision or request pursuant to which such Lender would be entitled to request any payments under any of Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 to or for account of such Lender.

Section 3.9 [Reserved]

Section 3.10 [Reserved].

Section 3.11 Rates Unavailable.

(a) Subject to paragraphs (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 3.11, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Rate Advance or an RFR Advance:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Screen

Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for Dollars; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advances) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for Dollars will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advances) included in such Borrowing for Dollars;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, (A) any Interest Period Notice that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Term SOFR Rate Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an Base Rate Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Advance is outstanding on the date of the Lead Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 3.11(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Advance, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Advance denominated in Dollars on such day.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to Advances denominated in Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 6.1.10 Re-flagging of Vessels. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Restricted Subsidiary may reconstitute itself in another jurisdiction, or merge with or into another Restricted Subsidiary, for the purpose of re-flagging a vessel that it

owns or bareboat charters so long as at all times each Restricted Subsidiary remains organized under the laws of any country recognized by the United States with an investment grade credit rating from either S&P or Moody’s or any Permitted Jurisdiction; provided that contemporaneously with the transactions required to complete the re-flagging of such vessel, to the extent that any Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations were released as provided for under Section 13.5, (x) the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary grants a Lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same assets securing the Obligations and (y) the Lead Borrower delivers to the Security Agent and the Administrative Agent, either (1) a solvency opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent and the Administrative Agent, from an independent financial advisor or appraiser or investment bank which confirms the solvency of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to any transactions related to such re-flagging, (2) a certificate from an Officer of the relevant Person which confirms the solvency of the Person granting such Lien after giving effect to any transactions related to such re-flagging, or (3) an Opinion of Counsel (subject to any qualifications customary for this type of opinion of counsel), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, confirming that, after giving effect to any transactions related to such re-flagging, the Lien or Liens created under the Security Document, as so released and retaken are valid and perfected Liens. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 6.2.4 will not apply to a reconstitution or merger permitted under this Section 6.1.10.

Section 6.1.11 Automatic Reduction of New Secured Debt Secured by the Collateral. The Borrowers and Guarantors agree and will cause their Restricted Subsidiaries to agree, that:

(a) if any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.2.1(b)(i)(A), Section 6.2.1(b)(i)(E), Section 6.2.1(b)(i)(H), or Section 6.2.1(b)(vi) (solely in respect of Indebtedness incurred under such Section 6.2.1(b)(i)(A), Section 6.2.1(b)(i)(E), or Section 6.2.1(b)(i)(H))) is secured by a Lien on the Collateral after the Effective Date (“New Secured Debt”); and

(b) if (i) there are TTA Test Debt Agreements outstanding; and (ii) at any time the Lead Borrower’s (or if the Lead Borrower is not rated, Carnival plc’s) long term senior indebtedness credit rating by S&P is below BBB- and by Moody’s is below Baa3; and (iii) at such time the Company and its Subsidiaries have Security Interests in respect of Covered Indebtedness that would otherwise exceed 25% of Total Tangible Assets at such time (subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, a “Reduction Event”); then

(c) the principal amount of such New Secured Debt that is secured by Liens on the Collateral shall (without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any other party) automatically be reduced (i) on a pro rata basis among the various tranches of New Secured Debt,(ii) in such other manner as may be specified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Lead Borrower to the Security Agent and the Administrative Agent not less than five Business Days prior to the date of the applicable Reduction Event or (iii) in such other manner as may be specified in the documents governing the various tranches of New Secured Debt, in each case of subclause (i), (ii) or (iii) as applicable, such that the Company and their respective Subsidiaries no longer have Security Interests in respect of Covered Indebtedness that exceed 25% of Total Tangible Assets.

(d) If any such automatic reduction occurs with respect to any New Secured Debt under clause (c) above, and at a later date the Lead Borrower determines that some or all of the then-unsecured amount of such New Secured Debt can be secured by a Lien on the Collateral without at such time causing a reduction in the secured principal amount thereof pursuant to clause (c) above, then such principal amount of New Secured Debt the Lead Borrower determines can be so secured will automatically (without any further action on the part of the

Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any other party) become secured by the Collateral, subject to future automatic reductions as provided in clause (c) above. The Lead Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent in writing of any such determination in an Officer’s Certificate.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of the Advances, the 2027 First-Priority Secured Notes and the 2028 First-Priority Notes that is secured by Liens on the Collateral shall not be subject to reduction pursuant to this Section 6.1.11.

(f) In the event that any New Secured Debt is incurred, the agent or representative with respect to such New Secured Debt shall, as a condition to the ability of the Company to issue such New Secured Debt hereunder, have entered into the applicable credit or other agreement, indentures or financing agreements whereby the holders (or the agent or representative on behalf of such New Secured Debt) of the New Secured Debt shall agree that if a Reduction Event occurs, the principal amount of such New Secured Debt that is secured by Liens on the Collateral shall (without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any other party) automatically be reduced prior to any reduction of the secured portion of the principal amount of the Advances. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the outstanding principal amount of the Advances be reduced pursuant to any Savings Clause.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and solely with respect to this Section 6.1.11:

“Total Tangible Assets” means the amount of the total assets of the Company and their respective Subsidiaries as shown in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company and their Subsidiaries (excluding for these purposes the value of any intangible assets).

“Covered Indebtedness” of a person means (a) any liability of such person (i) for borrowed money, or under any reimbursement obligation related to a letter of credit or bid or performance bond facility, or (ii) evidenced by a bond, note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (including a purchase money obligation) representing extensions of credit or given in connection with the acquisition of any business, property, service or asset of any kind, including any liability under any commodity, interest rate or currency exchange hedge or swap agreement (other than a trade payable, other current liability arising in the ordinary course of business or commodity, interest rate or currency exchange hedge or swap agreement arising in the ordinary course of business) or (iii) for obligations with respect to (A) an operating lease, or (B) a lease of real or personal property that is or would be classified and accounted for as a Covered Capital Lease; (b) any liability of others either for any lease, dividend or letter of credit, or for any obligation described in the preceding clause (a) that (i) the person has guaranteed or that is otherwise its legal liability (whether contingent or otherwise or direct or indirect, but excluding endorsements or negotiable instruments for deposit or collection in the ordinary course of business) or (ii) is secured by any Lien on any property or asset owned or held by that person, regardless whether the obligation secured thereby shall have been assumed by or is a personal liability of that person; and (c) any amendment, supplement, modification, deferral, renewal, extension or refunding of any liability of the types referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Covered Indebtedness” shall not include any liabilities or obligations that do not constitute “Covered Indebtedness” for purposes for the 25% of Total Tangible Assets described in the definition of TTA Test Debt Agreements under all of the TTA Test Debt Agreements.

“Covered Capital Lease” means with respect to any Person, any lease of any property (whether real, personal or mixed) by such Person as lessee that in accordance with GAAP (in

effect from time to time), either would be required to be classified and accounted for as a capital lease on a balance sheet of such Person or otherwise be disclosed as such in a note to such balance sheet, other than, in the case of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, any such lease under which the Company or such Subsidiary is the lessor.

The Company shall apply the proceeds of each Incremental Advance for the purpose or purposes set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment. No part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, including Regulations T, U and X. The Borrowers will not request any Borrowing, and the Borrowers shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except to the extent permitted for a Person required to comply with Sanctions, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

Section 6.1.14 Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 6.2.4, the Borrowers and each Guarantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Borrowers, the Company and each Guarantor; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrowers and the Guarantors as a whole.

Section 6.1.15 Maintenance of Properties. The Borrowers shall cause all properties owned by it or any Guarantor or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Guarantor to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Lead Borrower may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided that nothing in this Section 6.1.15 shall prevent the Borrowers from discontinuing the maintenance of any such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Lead Borrower, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrowers and the Guarantors as a whole.

Section 6.1.16 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Board of Directors of the Lead Borrower may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.

(b) If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.2.3 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Lead Borrower. The designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will only be permitted if the deemed Investment resulting from such designation would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(c) The Lead Borrower may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

(d) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by providing the Administrative Agent a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 6.2.3. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 6.2.1, the Borrowers will be in default of such Section 6.2.1. The Board of Directors of the Lead Borrower may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 6.2.1, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 6.1.17 Conference Calls. Not later than ten Business Days after delivery of each of the statements pursuant to Sections 6.1.1(a) and (b), the Lead Borrower will hold a conference call related to such statements and post details regarding access to such conference call at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of such call on the Platform.

which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(c) None of the Borrowers nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Borrower or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations or the applicable Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of either Borrower or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.2.1, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xxi) of Section 6.2.1(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.2.1(a), the Lead Borrower, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses and will be permitted on the date of such incurrence to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Sections 6.2.1(a) and (b) and from time to time to reclassify or redivide (as if incurred at such time) all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 6.2.1.

(e) In connection with the incurrence or issuance, as applicable, of (x) revolving loan Indebtedness or (y) any commitment relating to the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, in each case, in compliance with this Section 6.2.1, and the granting of any Lien to secure such Indebtedness, the Lead Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may, at its option, designate such incurrence or issuance and the granting of any Lien therefor as having occurred on the date of first incurrence of such revolving loan Indebtedness or commitment (such date, the “Deemed Date”), and any related subsequent actual incurrence or issuance and granting of such Lien therefor will be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to have been incurred or issued and granted on such Deemed Date, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, usage of any baskets described herein (if applicable), the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, the Loan-to-Value Ratio and Consolidated EBITDA (and all such calculations on and after the Deemed Date until the termination or funding of such commitment shall be made on a pro forma basis giving effect to the deemed incurrence or issuance, the granting of any Lien therefor and related transactions in connection therewith). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Agreement, all Indebtedness outstanding on the Effective Date under the Existing Multicurrency Facility is deemed to have been incurred on the Deemed Date of March 18, 2020 pursuant to clause (e) and allocated as having been incurred under Section 6.2.1(a).

(f) The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock, the accretion of liquidation preference and the increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 6.2.1; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such

101

accrual, accretion, amortization, payment, reclassification or increase is included in the Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.

(g) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a different currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred or, in the case of Indebtedness incurred under a revolving credit facility and at the option of the Lead Borrower, first committed; provided that (a) if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing indebtedness does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced; and (b) if and for so long as any Indebtedness is subject to a Hedging Obligation with respect to the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated covering principal amounts payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness, if denominated in Dollars, will be the amount of the principal payment required to be made under such Hedging Obligation and, otherwise, the Dollar-equivalent of such amount plus the Dollar-equivalent of any premium which is at such time due and payable but is not covered by such Hedging Obligation.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.2.1, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 6.2.1 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such refinancing indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(i) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount, the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP;

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 6.2.2 Liens.

(a) The Company shall not and shall not cause or permit any of the Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, except:

(i) in the case of any property or assets that constitute Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens, which may be secured on a pari passu basis with or junior to the Liens

102

on the Collateral securing the Obligations and the Guarantees, subject to Section 6.1.11; and

(ii) in the case of any property or assets that do not constitute Collateral, (A) Permitted Liens or (B) a Lien on such property or assets that is not a Permitted Lien (each Lien under clause (B), a “Triggering Lien”) if, contemporaneously with (or prior to) the incurrence of such Triggering Lien, all payments due under this Agreement (or the relevant Guarantee, in the case of Liens on property or assets of a Guarantor) are secured on an equal and ratable basis with or on a senior basis to the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by such Triggering Lien; provided that, (1) if the Indebtedness secured by such Triggering Lien is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Obligations, then such Triggering Lien securing such Indebtedness shall be subordinate or junior in priority to the Lien securing the Obligations and (2) if any Secured Indebtedness is also required to be secured by Liens on such property or assets pursuant to provisions in the Secured Indebtedness Documents that are similar to this clause (ii), the Liens on such property or assets securing the Obligations may rank senior or pari passu in priority to the Liens on such property or assets securing such Secured Indebtedness pursuant to a Customary Intercreditor Agreement.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.2.2, (A) Liens securing Indebtedness and obligations need not be incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof) but are permitted to be incurred in part under any combination thereof, and (B) in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens (or subparts thereof), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify, divide or later reclassify or redivide (as if incurred at such later time) such Liens (or any portions thereof) in any manner that complies with the definition of Permitted Liens, and such Liens (or portions thereof, as applicable) will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to such clause, clauses or subparts of the definition of Permitted Liens (and in the case of a subsequent division, classification or reclassification, such Liens shall cease to be divided or classified as it was prior to such subsequent division, classification or reclassification).

To the extent that any Liens are imposed pursuant to Section 6.2.2(a)(ii) (the “Equal and Ratable Provision”) on any assets or property to secure the Obligations, additional Liens may be granted on any such asset or property, which additional Liens may be pari passu or junior in priority to the Liens on such asset or property securing the Obligations subject to any limitations or requirements set forth in the Equal and Ratable Provision. The Administrative Agent and the Security Agent shall enter into a Customary Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such permitted pari passu Liens, junior Liens and Liens imposed pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision, if any.

(b) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, any Lien that is permitted under this Agreement to secure Indebtedness shall also be permitted to secure any obligations related to such Indebtedness.

103

(c) Any Lien created in favor of this Agreement and the Obligations or a Guarantee pursuant to the Equal and Ratable Provision will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged (i) upon the release and discharge of the Triggering Lien to which it relates and (ii) otherwise as set forth under Section 13.5.

Section 6.2.3 Restricted Payments.

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

(ii) after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Company would have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 6.2.1(a); and

(E) 100% of any dividends or distributions received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary after April 8, 2020 from an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent that such dividends or distributions were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period (excluding, for the

105

avoidance of doubt, repayments of, or interest payments in respect of, any Permitted Investment pursuant to clause (16) of the definition thereof).

(iv) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would not have been greater than 5.00:1.00 on a pro forma basis.

(b) The preceding provisions will not prohibit the following (“Permitted Payments”):

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution or the consummation of any redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or distribution or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement;

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (1) in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more categories (or subparts thereof) of Permitted Payments or Permitted Investments, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be entitled to

107

classify or re-classify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification in any manner that complies with this covenant, and such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) will be treated as having been made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or such clause or clauses (or subparts thereof) in the definition of Permitted Payments or Permitted Investments, (2) the amount of any return of or on capital from any Investment shall be netted against the amount of such Investment for purposes of determining compliance with this covenant and (3) payments made among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the agreements, constituent documents, guarantees, deeds and other instruments governing the “dual listed company” structure of the Company shall not be deemed to be Restricted Payments.

For purposes of this clause (2), each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities, as recorded on the balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities or liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Obligations or the Guarantees), that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and as a result of which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities or are indemnified against further liabilities or that are otherwise retired or repaid;

(F) consideration other than cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in Asset Sales with a Fair Market Value not exceeding $250.0 million in the aggregate outstanding at any one time.

110

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale or any Event of Loss, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall apply such Net Proceeds:

(i) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business; provided that (i) after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) to the extent the assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss comprised part of the Collateral, the assets comprising such Permitted Business shall also be pledged as Collateral;

(ii) to make a capital expenditure; provided that to the extent the assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss comprised part of the Collateral, such capital expenditures shall be made in respect of assets that are Collateral;

(iii) to acquire other assets (other than Capital Stock) not classified as current assets under GAAP that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; provided that to the extent the assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss comprised part of the Collateral, the assets being acquired shall also be pledged as Collateral;

(v) to make mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(b); or

(vi) any combination of the foregoing.

Section 6.2.6 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $100.0 million, unless:

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are, taken as a whole, no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and

(ii) the Lead Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $250.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Lead Borrowers set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate

111

Transaction complies with this Section 6.2.6 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Lead Borrower (or in the event there is only one disinterested director, by such disinterested director, or, in the event there are no disinterested directors, by unanimous approval of the members of the Board of Directors of the Lead Borrower).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 6.2.6(a):

(vi) Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 6.2.3;

(vii) transactions pursuant to or contemplated by any agreement in effect on the Effective Date and transactions pursuant to any amendment, modification or extension to such agreement, so long as such amendment, modification or extension, taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Lenders than the original agreement as in effect on the Effective Date;

(viii) Permitted Investments (other than Permitted Investments described in clause (16) of the definition thereof);

(ix) Management Advances;

(x) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement that are fair to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors of the Lead Borrower or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated Person;

(xi) the granting and performance of any registration rights for the Company’s Capital Stock;

112

(xii) any contribution to the capital of the Company;

(xiii) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(xv) transactions made pursuant to the agreements, constituent documents, guarantees, deeds and other instruments governing the “dual listed company” structure of the Company; and

(xvi) transactions undertaken in good faith (as certified by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Lead Borrower in an Officer’s Certificate) between the Company and any other Person or a Restricted Subsidiary and any other Person with which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries files a combined, consolidated, unitary or similar group tax return or which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is part of a group for tax purposes that are effected for the purpose of improving the combined, consolidated, unitary or similar group tax efficiency of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any provision of this Agreement.

Section 6.2.7 Limitation on Issuance of Guarantees of Indebtedness.

(a) Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) that is not a Guarantor to Guarantee, directly or indirectly, the payment of any obligations of a Borrower or a Guarantor under a Credit Facility, the Convertible Notes, the Existing Multicurrency Facility (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Carnival Holdings (Bermuda) II Limited and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that guarantee the Forward-Start Facility), the Existing Term Loan Facility, the Existing First-Priority Secured Notes, the Existing Second-Priority Secured Notes, the Existing Unsecured Notes (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Carnival Holdings (Bermuda) Limited and any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries that guarantee the 2028 Priority Notes) or any other Indebtedness of a Borrower or a Guarantor, in each case, having an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $300.0 million unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a Joinder providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Obligations by such Restricted Subsidiary which Guarantee will be senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee of such other Indebtedness and with respect to any Guarantee of Indebtedness that is expressly contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations or to any Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, any such Guarantee will be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee at least to the same extent as such subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Obligations.

Following the provision of any additional Guarantees as described in the immediately preceding paragraph, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement (if such security is being granted in respect of the other Indebtedness), any such Guarantor shall provide security over its material assets that are of the same type as any of the Borrowers’ or the Guarantors’ assets that are required to be a part of the

113

Collateral (excluding any assets of such Guarantor which are subject to a Permitted Lien at the time of the execution of such Joinder (to the extent that such Permitted Lien was not created, incurred or assumed in contemplation thereof) if providing such security interest would not be permitted by the terms of such Permitted Lien or by the terms of any obligations secured by such Permitted Lien) to secure its Guarantee on a first-priority basis with the priority of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Pari Passu Obligations.

This paragraph (a) will not be applicable to any Guarantees of any Restricted Subsidiary:

(i) existing on the Effective Date;

(ii) that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary if the Guarantee was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; or

(iii) arising solely due to granting of a Permitted Lien that would not otherwise constitute a Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Borrowers or any Guarantor.

Any additional Guarantee may be contractually limited as necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors or sureties as a matter of applicable law (including those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally) and other legal restrictions applicable to the Guarantors and their respective shareholders, directors and general partners.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to cause such Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee the Obligations or provide security to the extent that such Guarantee or the grant of such security by such Restricted Subsidiary would be inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or the Agreed Security Principles or would reasonably be expected to give rise to or result in (x) any liability for the officers, directors or shareholders of such Restricted Subsidiary, (y) any violation of applicable law that cannot be prevented or otherwise avoided through measures reasonably available to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary or (z) any significant cost, expense, liability or obligation (including with respect to any Taxes) other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and other than reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any governmental or regulatory filings required as a result of, or any measures pursuant to clause (y) undertaken in connection with, such Guarantee which cannot be avoided through measures reasonably available to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 6.2.8 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) Each Parent Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to its Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the relevant Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(ii) make loans or advances to its Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

114

(iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to its Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

provided that (x) the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock, (y) the subordination of (including the application of any standstill period to) loans or advances made to the relevant Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the relevant Parent Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and (z) the provisions contained in documentation governing or relating to Indebtedness requiring transactions between or among the relevant Parent Company and any Restricted Subsidiary or between or among any Restricted Subsidiaries to be on fair and reasonable terms or on an arm’s-length basis, in each case, shall not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction.

(b) The provisions of Section 6.2.8(a) above shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(i) agreements or instruments governing or relating to Indebtedness as in effect on the Effective Date (including pursuant to the Convertible Notes, the Existing Multicurrency Facility, the Existing Term Loan Facility, the Existing First-Priority Secured Notes, the Existing Second Priority Secured Notes, the Existing Unsecured Notes, and the related documentation) and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Lender with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements or instruments on the Effective Date (as determined in good faith by the Lead Borrower);

(ii) this Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the Existing First-Priority Secured Notes, the Existing Second Priority Secured Notes, the 2026 Unsecured Notes, the 2027 Unsecured Notes, the Existing Term Loan Facility, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents;

(iii) agreements or instruments governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 6.2.1 and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the Company determines at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness that such encumbrances or restrictions will not adversely effect, in any material respect, the Borrowers’ ability to make principal or interest payments on the Obligations;

(iv) applicable law, rule, regulation or order or the terms of any license, authorization, concession or permit;

(v) any agreement or instrument governing or relating to Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the relevant Parent Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (other than any agreement or instrument entered into in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be incurred;

(vi) customary non-assignment and similar provisions in contracts, leases and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

115

(vii) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature set forth in Section 6.2.8(a)(iii) or any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to a joint venture agreement that imposes restrictions on the transfer of the assets of the joint venture;

(viii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock or all or substantially all of the property and assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(ix) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that either (i) the restrictions contained in the agreements or instruments governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements or instruments governing the Indebtedness being refinanced or (ii) the Lead Borrower determines at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness that such encumbrances or restrictions will not adversely effect, in any material respect, the Borrowers’ ability to make principal or interest payments on the Advances;

(x) Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 6.2.2 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(xi) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment or Permitted Investment) entered into with the approval of the Lead Borrower’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements;

(xii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or suppliers or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case, under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xiv) any encumbrance or restriction existing with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary or the property or assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary that is designated as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at the time of such designation and not incurred in contemplation of such designation, which encumbrances or restrictions are not applicable to any Person other than such Unrestricted Subsidiary or the property or assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that the encumbrances or restrictions are customary for the business of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and would not, at the time agreed to, be expected to affect the ability of the Borrowers and the Guarantors to make payments under this Agreement;

(xv) customary encumbrances or restrictions contained in agreements in connection with Hedging Obligations permitted under this Agreement;

(xvi) the agreements, constituent documents, guarantees, deeds and other instruments governing the “dual listed company” structure of the Company; and

(xvii) any encumbrance or restriction existing under any agreement that extends, renews, refinances, replaces, amends, modifies, restates or supplements the agreements

116

containing the encumbrances or restrictions in the foregoing clauses (i) through (xvi), or in this clause (xvii); provided that the terms and conditions of any such encumbrances or restrictions are no more restrictive in any material respect than those under or pursuant to the agreement so extended, renewed, refinanced, replaced, amended, modified, restated or supplemented.

Section 6.2.9 Impairment of Security Interest. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral (it being understood that (i) the incurrence of Permitted Collateral Liens and (ii) the release or modification of the Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and related Security Documents, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), shall under no circumstances be deemed to materially impair the security interest with respect to the Collateral) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, grant to any Person other than the Security Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the other beneficiaries described in the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, any Lien over any of the Collateral that is prohibited by Section 6.2.2; provided that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur any Lien over any of the Collateral that is not prohibited by Section 6.2.2, including Permitted Collateral Liens, and the Collateral may be discharged or released in accordance with this Agreement, the applicable Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement.

Subject to the foregoing, the Security Documents may be amended, extended, renewed, restated or otherwise modified or released to (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein; (ii) provide for Permitted Collateral Liens; (iii) add to the Collateral; or (iv) make any other change thereto that does not adversely affect the Lenders in any material respect; provided, however, that (except where permitted by this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or to effect or facilitate the creation of Permitted Collateral Liens for the benefit of the Security Agent and holders of other Indebtedness incurred in accordance with this Agreement) no Security Document may be amended, extended, renewed, restated or otherwise modified or released, unless contemporaneously with such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement or modification or release (followed by an immediate retaking of a Lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same assets), the Lead Borrower delivers to the Security Agent and the Administrative Agent, either (1) a solvency opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent and the Administrative Agent, from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of international standing which confirms the solvency of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, modification or release, (2) a certificate from an Officer of the relevant Person which confirms the solvency of the Person granting such Lien after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, modification or release (followed by an immediate retaking of a Lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same assets) or (3) an Opinion of Counsel (subject to any qualifications customary for this type of opinion of counsel), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, confirming that, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, modification or release (followed by an immediate retaking of a Lien of at least equivalent ranking over the same assets), the Lien or Liens created under the Security Document, so amended, extended, renewed, restated, modified or released and retaken, are valid and perfected Liens not otherwise subject to any limitation, imperfection or new hardening period, in equity or at law, that such Lien or Liens were not otherwise subject to immediately prior to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, modification or release and retake and to which the new Indebtedness secured by the Permitted Collateral Lien is not subject. In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries comply with the requirements of this Section 6.2.9, the

117

Administrative Agent and the Security Agent shall (subject to customary protections and indemnifications) consent to such amendments without the need for instructions from the Lenders.

Section 6.2.10 Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers will not request any Borrowing, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not use the proceeds of any Borrowing (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, or (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, in violation of Sanctions applicable to any party hereto. The Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly, place, invest or give economic use to the proceeds from any Advance in the Republic of Panama.

ARTICLE VII

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 7.1 Listing of Events of Default. Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 7.1 shall constitute an “Event of Default”.

Section 7.1.1 Non-Payment of Obligations. The Borrowers shall default in the payment when due of any principal of or interest on any Advance, any fee or other amount payable under any Loan Document, provided that, in the case of any default in the payment of any interest on any Advance or any fee or other amount (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, principal on any Advance) payable under any Loan Document, such default shall continue unremedied for a period of at least ten (10) Business Days after such payment shall have become due and payable.

Section 7.1.2 Breach of Warranty. Any representation or warranty of the Borrowers made or deemed to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto) is or shall be incorrect in any material respect when made and such incorrect or misleading representation or warranty (or, if such representation or warranty is capable of being cured, such representation or warranty shall remain false or misleading for a period of 30 days from the date of such representation of warranty).

Section 7.1.3 Non-Performance of Certain Covenants and Obligations. The Borrowers shall default in the due performance and observance of any other agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document (other than the covenants set forth in Article VI and the obligations referred to in Section 7.1.1) and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or, if (a) such default is capable of being remedied within 30 days and (b) the Borrowers are actively seeking to remedy the same during such period, such default shall continue unremedied for at least 30 days after such notice to the Borrowers).

Section 7.1.4 Default on Other Indebtedness. There shall occur any default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Effective Date, if that default:

118

(a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default; or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

THE AGENTS

Section 10.1 Actions.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advance and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.3, 2.7, 3.3, 11.3 and 11.4) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, provisional liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan

121

Documents (including under Sections 11.3 and 11.4). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(c) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions.

Section 10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Persons (including the Security Agent) and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Persons were not the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 10.3 Lender Indemnification.

(a) Each Lender hereby severally indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent (in each case, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender’s Ratable Share of any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against, the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses which have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s or the Security Agent’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent, as applicable, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Section 10.3 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, any Lender or a third party.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, as provided

122

herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its Ratable Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent, as applicable, for such other Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 10.3 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent, as applicable, agrees to promptly return to the Lenders their respective Ratable Shares of any amounts paid under this Section 10.3 that are subsequently reimbursed by the Borrowers.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with the consent of the Lead Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, subject to the consent of such proposed successor Administrative Agent to such appointment.

Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Security Agent Resignation Effective Date. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Security Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Security Agent, and the retiring or removed Security Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 10.7(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Security Agent under the Security Documents or any other Loan Documents, the retiring Security Agent shall (x) at the cost and expense of the Borrowers

Section 10.15 Collateral Matters; Credit Bidding.

(a) In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived by the Company on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part

131

thereof, or consent to the use by any Loan Party of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Lenders, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released by the Company on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries. The Company further agrees on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the premises of the Borrowers, another Loan Party or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 10.15, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

(b) Except with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(c) The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (i) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (ii) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles

132

that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(d) Each Lender party hereto acknowledges that subject to Section 6.1.11, the Obligations hereunder constitute “New Secured Debt” (as defined in the 2028 First-Priority Note Indenture as in effect on the Effective Date) and are subject to automatic reduction of “New Secured Debt” (as defined in the 2028 First-Priority Note Indenture as in effect on the Effective Date) secured by the Collateral upon occurrence of a Reduction Event in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement and Sections 4.25 and 4.26 of the 2028 First-Priority Note Indenture as in effect on the Effective Date. Any such reduction shall be pro rata with any such reduction of the Existing Term Loan Facility and the 2029 First-Priority Secured Notes.

the Register pursuant to Section 11.11.3 and the principal amount of the Advances held by the assignees after giving effect to such assignment will be as reflected in the Register.

Section 11.11.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Advances, its Commitment, or other interests of such Lender hereunder without the consent of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that:

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 11.11.2 shall relieve such Lender from its Commitment(s) or its other obligations hereunder;

(e) the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant became a Participant; and

(f) each Lender that sells a participation under this Section 11.11.2 shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest on) each of the Participant’s interest in the Lender’s Advances, Commitments or other interests hereunder (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes hereunder; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Advances or its other obligations under any Loan Document), except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5 of the United States Treasury Proposed Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation interest as the owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Lender, by maintaining the Participant Register, undertakes any duty, responsibility or obligation to the Borrowers (including that in no event shall any such Lender be a fiduciary of the Borrowers for any purpose). For the avoidance of doubt, the

144

Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Advances to any Purchasing Borrower Party in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 2.16 or in accordance with this Section 11.11.4 (which assignment will not, except as otherwise provided herein, be deemed to constitute a payment on or prepayment of Advances for any purposes of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including Sections 2.6, 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12); provided that:

(a) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;

The Borrowers acknowledge that the Arrangers, the Bookrunners, the Bookrunning Managers, the Global Coordinators, the Co-Managers, the Security Agent and each Lender may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates.

Section 11.20 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

Section 11.21 Approval and Authorization. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent (i) to enter into the Loan Documents on their behalf

148

and (ii) to perform their duties and obligations and to exercise their rights and remedies thereunder. The Lenders acknowledge that the Security Agent will be acting as collateral agent for the holders of the Obligations under the Security Documents, on the terms provided for therein.

Section 11.22 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement with respect to any swap, forward, future or derivative transaction or option or similar agreement involving, or settled by reference to, one or more rates, currencies, commodities, equity or debt instruments or securities, or economic, financial or pricing indices or measures of economic, financial or pricing risk or value or any similar transaction or any combination of these transactions, or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(a) The Guarantors, either by execution of this Agreement or a Joinder, fully and, subject to the limitations on the effectiveness and enforceability set forth in this Agreement or such Joinder, as applicable, unconditionally guarantee, on a joint and several basis to each Lender and to the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns on behalf of each Lender, the full payment of the Obligations. The Guarantors further agree that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantors and that the Guarantors shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

149

invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of this Agreement, any failure to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Borrowers with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (except payment in full); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification, indulgence or circumstance shall without the written consent of the Guarantors increase the principal amount of an Advance or the interest rate thereon or change the currency of payment with respect to any Advance, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof.

Section 12.3 Release of Guarantees. The Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than Carnival plc) shall automatically be released:

(i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation or combination) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 6.2.5;

150

(ii) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 6.2.5 and the Subsidiary Guarantor either (i) ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such sale or other disposition or (ii) would not be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 6.2.7;

(iii) if the Lead Borrower designates such Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement;

The Guarantee of Carnival plc shall automatically be released upon any of the circumstances described in clause (iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph; provided that, in each case, Carnival plc has delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such release have been complied with.

The Administrative Agent shall take all necessary actions at the request of the Lead Borrower, including the granting of releases or waivers under the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Intercreditor Agreement, to effectuate any release of a Guarantee in accordance with these provisions. Each of the releases set forth above shall be effected by the Administrative Agent without the consent of the Lenders and will not require any other action or consent on the part of the Lenders.

Section 12.4 Limitation and Effectiveness of Guarantees. Each Guarantor and each Lender hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Agreement, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Agreement to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Section 12.5 Successors and Assigns. This Article XII shall be binding upon the Guarantors and each of their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders and, in the event of

Section 12.6 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders herein expressly specified are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 12.7 Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.1, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.

Section 12.8 Limitation on the Italian Guarantor’s Liability. Without prejudice to Section 12.4, the obligations of the Italian Guarantor under this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations:

As used herein, the term “Intercreditor Agreement” shall include

155

references to any Additional Intercreditor Agreement that supplements or replaces the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent and Security Agent shall be required to enter into any customary intercreditor agreement with respect to the establishment of junior-priority liens securing such Junior Obligations upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate (upon which the Administrative Agent and Security Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely) to the effect that such customary intercreditor agreement is in customary form for an intercreditor agreement governing the relationship between Pari Passu Obligations and Junior Obligations. Such customary intercreditor agreement will set forth the relative rights in respect of the Collateral between holders of the Pari Passu Obligations, on the one hand, and holders of the Junior Obligations, on the other hand, and will provide that the Security Agent will, subject to very limited circumstances, have the exclusive right to exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Furthermore, such intercreditor agreement will set forth the priorities relative to the Collateral, and the application from the proceeds thereof, first to the Pari Passu Obligations, then to the Junior Obligations.

Section 13.5 Release of the Collateral.

(a) To the extent a release is required by a Security Document, the Security Agent shall release, and the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall release and if so requested direct the Security Agent to release, without the need for consent of the Lenders, Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations:

(i) as to all of the Collateral, upon payment in full of the Obligations;

156

(iii) as to any Collateral, in connection with any disposition or transfer of such Collateral to any Person (but excluding any transaction subject to Section 6.2.4); provided that if the Collateral is disposed of to a Borrower or a Guarantor, the relevant Collateral becomes immediately subject to a substantially equivalent Lien in favor of the Security Agent securing the Obligations; provided, further, that, in each case, such disposition is permitted by this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement;

(iv) as to any Collateral held by a Subsidiary Guarantor, if the Lead Borrower designates such Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the release of the property, assets and Capital Stock of such Unrestricted Subsidiary;

Each of the foregoing releases shall be effected by the Security Agent without the consent of the Lenders or any action on the part of the Administrative Agent.

(b) Any release of Collateral made in compliance with this Section 13.5 shall not be deemed to impair the Lien under the Security Documents or the Collateral thereunder in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents (including Section 6.2.9).

(c) In the event that the Borrowers or any Guarantor seek to release Collateral, the Lead Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (which the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent shall rely upon in connection with such release) to the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent setting forth that the specified release complies with the terms of this Agreement as well as with the terms of the relevant Security Document. Upon receipt of the Officer’s Certificate and if so requested by the Lead Borrower or such Guarantor, the Security Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 13.6 Appointment of Security Agent and Supplemental Security Agents. The Lenders hereby appoint U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association to act as Security Agent hereunder, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association accepts such appointment. Each Lender authorizes and expressly directs the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent on such Lender’s behalf to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that the Security Agent will be acting in respect to the Security Documents and the security granted thereunder on the

157

terms outlined therein (which terms in respect of the rights and protections of the Security Agent, in the event of an inconsistency with the terms of this Agreement, will prevail).

(a) The Security Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through one or more sub-agents or co-trustees appointed by it. The Security Agent and any such sub-agent or co-trustee may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its affiliates. All of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Security Agent including its rights to be indemnified, shall apply to and be enforceable by any such sub-agent and affiliates of a Security Agent and any such sub-agent or co-trustee. All references herein to a “Security Agent” shall include any such sub-agent or co-trustee and affiliates of a Security Agent or any such sub-agent or co-trustee.

(b) It is the purpose of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. Without limiting paragraph (a) of this Section 13.6, it is recognized that in case of litigation under, or enforcement of, this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Security Documents, or in case the Security Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the Security Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Security Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Security Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, Security Agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Security Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Security Agents”).

SCHEDULE IV

AGREED SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1 Agreed security principles

The Liens to be provided under and in connection with this Agreement will be given in accordance with the security principles set out in this Schedule (the Agreed Security Principles), and subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.

2 General principles

2.1 The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective Liens from the Carnival Group in certain jurisdictions. In particular:

(a) general statutory limitations, capital maintenance, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalisation” rules, retention of title claims, regulatory restrictions and similar principles may limit the ability of a member of the Carnival Group to provide Liens or may require that the Liens be limited by an amount or otherwise; provided that the Carnival Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome any such obstacle and assist in demonstrating that adequate corporate benefit accrues to the Carnival Group and each relevant Guarantor. If any such limit applies, the Liens provided will be limited to the maximum amount which the relevant member of the Carnival Group may provide having regard to applicable law;

(b) a factor in determining whether or not Liens shall be taken is the applicable cost which shall not be disproportionate to the benefit to the Lenders (or any other beneficiary of the Liens) of obtaining such Liens. For these purposes, “cost” includes, but is not limited to, income or corporate tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or enforcement or for the continuance of any Liens, notary costs, stamp duties, out-of-pocket expenses and other fees and expenses directly incurred by the relevant grantor of Liens or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or

A-168

Affiliates; except that such registration taxes related to enforcement shall not be applicable in the case of Liens governed by Italian law;

(c) except in the case of the Guarantors, unless each consent required by law, statute, the terms of any applicable contract, instrument or constitutional document or otherwise from the minority shareholders in, or any relevant corporate body of, any member of the Carnival Group which is not wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by another member of the Carnival Group is obtained, such member shall not be required to grant Liens; provided that the relevant company and the Lead Borrower have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent, it being acknowledged that commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the payment by the Lead Borrower or the relevant company of any monetary consent or waiver excluding any reasonable legal fees that may be payable;

(d) Liens shall not be created or perfected to the extent that it would result in the directors or officers of the relevant grantor being in contravention of any statutory duty in such capacity or their fiduciary duties and/or which could reasonably be expected to result in personal, civil or criminal liability on the part of any such director or officer; provided that the relevant member of the Carnival Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome any such obstacle, it being acknowledged that commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the payment by the Lead Borrower or the relevant company of any monetary consent or waiver;

(e) any assets (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Vessels) subject to third party arrangements (including shareholder agreements or joint venture agreements) which are permitted by the terms of the Agreement and which would prevent or prohibit those assets from being subject to legal, valid, binding and enforceable Liens will be excluded from the Liens created by any relevant Security Document; provided that the relevant member of the Carnival Group has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consent or waiver if the asset is material, it being acknowledged that commercially reasonable efforts shall not require the payment by

A-169

the Lead Borrower or the relevant company of any monetary consent or waiver excluding any reasonable legal fees that may be payable;

(f) where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting Liens over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such Liens, Liens will be granted over the material assets only;

(g) the granting of Liens or the perfection of the Liens granted will not be required if:

(i) it has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant member of the Carnival Group to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Agreement; or

(ii) it has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the tax arrangements of the Carnival Group or any member of the Carnival Group,

provided that, in each case, the relevant member of the Carnival Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome such obstacle. The secured obligations will be limited where necessary to prevent any material additional tax liability of any member of the Carnival Group;

(h) in the case of any Liens granted by any member of the Carnival Group, no fixed Liens will be given over hedging or intellectual property rights registered outside of the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom or the European Union (as a whole), which instead in each case shall be subject to floating Liens to the extent applicable under the laws of the jurisdiction governing the relevant Security Document. Nothing in this paragraph will restrict any provision permitting the crystallisation of any floating charge in certain circumstances as set out in the Security Documents; and

(i) other than in respect of: (i) the registration of the mortgages in respect of the Vessels with the relevant ship registry and in the jurisdiction in which the relevant Vessel owner is organized, to the extent required under the law of such jurisdiction; (ii) UCC financing statements to be filed in the applicable jurisdictions and (iii) any

A-170

other notifications expressly contemplated in these Agreed Security Principles, no perfection action will be required in jurisdictions in which Guarantors are not located, except as required to effect a share pledge over any shares held in Italy. In the case of Italian mortgages over Vessels, the relevant grantor shall obtain as soon as practically possible annotation of the mortgage on the Vessel’s “atto di nazionalità”, but such annotation shall not be required to constitute “perfection” of the Vessel mortgage.

3 Security

Security will be for all Obligations of the relevant members of the Carnival Group (including the Guarantors) under this Agreement, in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction.

4 Terms of Security Documents

4.1 Security will be first ranking (save as described below, and subject to certain liens mandatorily preferred by applicable laws), to the extent possible (and subject to certain liens mandatorily preferred by applicable laws), in accordance with the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. It is hereby understood and agreed that, whenever a lien or security interest is referred to herein as being “first-ranking”, in the case of certain liens on assets located in Italy, such liens may be formally of a lower priority than “first-ranking”, as applicable, but made effectively “first-ranking”, as applicable, pursuant to deeds of equalization (atti di parificazione di grado) and/or deeds of subordination (atti di antergazione/postergazione di grado) of previously existing security.

4.2 Security shall (to the extent legally possible, subject to the general principles above) be created in favour of the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Pari Passu Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) or the Security Agent on behalf of or as trustee for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Pari Passu Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (as considered appropriate by counsel to the Security Agent (it being anticipated that the latter option shall be appropriate in most cases)), to secure all of the obligations of the party giving the

A-171

relevant Liens as well as all liabilities under this Agreement and the other Pari Passu Documents (to the extent permitted by local law) and provided that “parallel debt” provisions may be used where necessary.

4.3 The Security Documents should only operate to create Liens rather than to impose new commercial obligations other than to the extent required by local law in order to create, enforce or perfect the Liens expressed to be created thereby, or to deal with requirements directly related thereto. Accordingly, subject to customary representations and undertakings as to the Vessels, representations and undertakings (such as in respect of insurance, maintenance of assets, information or the payment of costs) shall be strictly limited to those necessary for the creation, registration and/or perfection of the Liens, will not unreasonably interfere with the normal running of the business and/or the Vessels and shall not be included to the extent the subject matter thereof is the same as a corresponding undertaking in this Agreement and shall not operate so as to prevent transactions which are otherwise permitted under the Agreement or to require additional consents or authorizations or to impose commercial obligations, in each case other than to the extent required by local law in order to create, enforce or perfect the Liens expressed to be created thereby, or to deal with requirements directly related thereto.

4.4 Unless otherwise required under applicable law, if a member of a Carnival Group grants a Lien over any asset it shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Pari Passu Documents, be free to deal with that asset in the ordinary course of its business until a Declared Default (as defined below) has occurred.

4.5 The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any Liens taken as part of this transaction:

(a) Liens will not be enforceable in respect of this Agreement until an Event of Default has occurred in respect of which the Advances or any other series of indebtedness under the Intercreditor Agreements, if any, is being accelerated (a Declared Default);

(b) information, such as lists of assets, will be provided if, in the opinion of counsel to the Security Agent or the Administrative Agent, these are required by local law to be

A-172

provided to perfect or register the Liens or to ensure the Liens can be enforced and, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Security Agent or the Administrative Agent required to be provided by local law more frequently, be provided annually or, following an Event of Default which is continuing, on the Security Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request; and

(c) each of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders should only be able to exercise any power of attorney granted to it under the Security Documents following a Declared Default.

5 Bank accounts

No Liens will be given over bank accounts.

6 Real estate

No Liens will be given over land, building and improvements or other real estate.

7 Security in respect of Vessels

7.1 Security will be given over the Vessels set out in the table below. It is acknowledged and agreed that certain of the Collateral in respect of the Vessels has already been entered into in connection with the issue of the Carnival Corporation’s 11.500% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (2023 First-Priority Notes) and no further Security Documents shall be entered into or perfection action required under this Agreement in respect of such Collateral. The status of such Collateral is set out in the table below.

7.2 No Liens will be given over or in respect of the contractually restricted Vessels (being: (i) Carnival Panorama; (ii) Carnival Horizon; (iii) Sky Princess; (iv) Nieuw Statendam; (v) Seabourn Ovation; (vi) Costa Smeralda; (vii) Carnival Venezia (formerly Costa Venezia); (viii) Costa Diadema; and (ix) Britannia).

7.3 Where a new mortgage is required, each such mortgage (or, as the case may be, an amendment in respect of an existing mortgage) (a Mortgage) in respect of a Vessel must be perfected by its due registration in the relevant ship registry of the Ship’s Flag State

A-173

(and evidence of such registration shall be provided in the form of transcript or equivalent Mortgage registration document from the relevant registry or, to the extent such transcript or registration document is not available, such other evidence as may be provided by the relevant local counsel that evidences (to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably)) that the relevant Mortgage has been duly registered in its favour as soon as possible following the Effective Date , but no later than the deadline set out next to each ship in the table under paragraph 7.6 below, provided that, if any government office is closed on one or more days on which it would normally be open, and the closure precludes the registration of a Mortgage within such period, such Mortgage will be registered not later than the day that is the later of: (a) the deadline set out in the table under paragraph 7.6 below; and (b) the business day following the 15th day after the latest date such government office was closed on a day on which it would normally be open.

7.4 All other Liens in respect of a Vessel shall be entered into on or before the same deadline as its Mortgage. No manager’s undertakings will be procured or given.

7.5 Any Panamanian Mortgages shall be registered on a provisional basis no later than the applicable deadlines set forth below and the relevant owner shall be under an obligation to procure the permanent registration of the relevant mortgage within 180 days of the provisional registration.

7.6 In addition to the Mortgage over a Vessel, the vessel Collateral shall include: (a) in connection with any Mortgage that is in account current form, a deed of covenants; (b) an assignment of insurances and any requisition compensation (as set out in more detail below) from the relevant owner and (if applicable) the bareboat charterer (with such assignment from the bareboat charterer also including a subordination of its rights under the relevant charter in favour of the Security Agent); and (c) an assignment of earnings generated by the Vessel from the relevant owner and (if applicable) the bareboat charterer (which earnings assignment(s) shall also contain a mortgage and charge over the assignor’s property on the Vessels (specifically, inventory, trade receivables, intangibles, computer software and casino equipment, as set out in more detail below)) (the Ancillary Vessel Collateral).

8 Insurances in respect of Vessels

8.1 The owner of each Vessel will be required to take out and maintain in its name or procure to be taken out and maintained in its name customary insurances on each Vessel with financially sound and reputable insurers or underwriters, including without limitation: (a) hull, machinery and equipment insurance (covering all fire and usual marine risks including excess risks, but excluding war risks); and (b) protection and indemnity insurance (including pollution risks, but excluding war risks).

8.2 The policies shall be assigned by each owner and each bareboat charterer of the Vessels simultaneously with the granting of the Mortgages described in paragraph 7 above, and the insurers shall be instructed to apply claims proceeds as follows:

(a) all claims under the hull and machinery (and war risks) policy for the Vessels in respect of an actual or constructive or compromised or arranged total loss of such Vessel shall be paid in full to the Security Agent or to its order; and

(b) all other claims under the hull and machinery (and war risks) policy and the protection and indemnity cover for a Vessel shall be paid in full to the relevant owner or, in the case of a Vessel subject to a bareboat charter, the relevant charterer or to its order, unless and until the Security Agent shall have notified the insurers to the contrary, whereupon all such claims shall be paid to the Security Agent or to its order.

8.3 Forthwith following the Liens being granted, the owner and (if applicable) the charterer of a Vessel shall serve a notice of assignment of insurances over that Vessel on the relevant brokers and Protection and Indemnity Club and shall then use reasonable endeavours to obtain:

(a) a loss payee or other endorsement or, in the case of entries in a protection and indemnity association, a note of the Security Agent’s interest made on the insurance policy; and

A-181

(b) a letter of undertaking issued to the Security Agent by the broker(s) through whom the relevant policy is placed (or, in the case of entries in protection and indemnity or war risks associations, by their managers).

If, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, the owner and (if applicable) the charterer has not been able to obtain the items referred to in (a) and (b) above for a period of six (6) weeks from the serving of the notice of assignment, such obligation to obtain those items shall cease at the end of that six (6) week period.

8.4 Reference is made to the table set forth at paragraph 7 above as to the status of the Ancillary Vessel Collateral. Accordingly, no further Security Documents or perfection action is required under this Agreement in respect of Vessel insurances.

9 Intellectual property

9.1 No Liens shall be granted over any licensed intellectual property which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant licensing agreement. No notice shall be prepared or given to any third party from whom intellectual property is licensed until a Declared Default has occurred.

9.2 The Security Documents will not provide for registration of the Liens over owned intellectual property registered outside of the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom or the European Union (as a whole) unless otherwise agreed. The Security Documents are required to be recorded with:

(a) the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, not later than the 30th day after the Effective Date; and

(b) with the applicable Governmental Authorities in the United Kingdom and Germany, and with the European Union Intellectual Property Office, using commercially reasonable efforts, not later than the 90th day after the Effective Date,

provided that, if any government office is closed on one or more days on which it would normally be open, and the closure precludes the filing of a Lien in such intellectual

A-182

property within such period, such Liens will be filed not later than the day that is the later of:

(i) the 30th day after the Effective Date in respect of the intellectual property registered in the United States or, using commercially reasonable efforts, the 90th day after the Effective Date in respect of the intellectual property registered in the United Kingdom, Germany or the European Union (as a whole); and

(ii) the business day following the 15th day after the latest date such government office was closed on a day on which it would normally be open.

9.3 It is acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral in respect of intellectual property has already been entered into in connection with the issue of the 2023 First-Priority Notes and no further Security Documents shall be entered into or perfection action required under this Agreement.

10 Other personal property in respect of Vessels

Security will be given by the Lead Borrower and the Guarantors over assets consisting of inventory, trade receivables, intangibles, computer software and casino equipment, in each case associated with the Vessels required to be pledged. Reference is made to the table set forth at paragraph 7 above as to the status of the Ancillary Vessel Collateral. Accordingly, no further Security Documents or perfection action is required under this Agreement in respect of such assets.

11 Shares and partnership interests

11.1 The following share pledges will be given over all shares and partnership interests in the Subsidiary Guarantors listed below (excluding the 0.02% of Costa Crociere S.p.A. held by individuals) within 30 days of the Effective Date (or, (x) in the case of shares of entities organized in Italy, within 75 days of the Effective Date or (y) in the case of shares of entities organized in Curaçao, 45 days after the Effective Date); provided that, if any applicable government office is closed on one or more days on which it would normally be

CONSOLIDATED EBITDA ADJUSTMENTS

The adjustments below, which the Company has set forth in Clause (10) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” pursuant to the 2028 First-Priority Note Indenture, are hereby incorporated by reference and copied below:

Net revenue yields enables us to separate the impact of predictable capacity or ALBD changes from price and other changes that affect our business. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors and expanded insight to measure our revenue and cost performance as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements.

Net revenue yields is a combination of net passenger ticket revenues and net onboard and other revenues divided by ALBDs. Net passenger ticket revenues reflect gross passenger ticket revenues, net of commissions, transportation and other costs. Net onboard and other revenues reflect gross cruise onboard and other revenues, net of onboard and other costs.

Net revenue yields are commonly used in the cruise industry to measure a company’s cruise segment revenue performance and for revenue management purposes. We believe that net cruise revenues is a more meaningful measure in determining revenue yield than gross cruise revenues because it reflects the cruise revenues earned net of our most significant variable cost, which are travel agent commissions, costs of air and other transportation, certain other costs that are directly associated with onboard and other revenues and credit and debit card fees.
