Sales of the Shares will be made on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) or otherwise by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions.

14

(b)The Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company or its designated affiliate and BofA on any trading day (other than a day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) (each, a “Trading Day”), in each case, that BofA has been instructed to make such sales. On any Trading Day, the Company or its designated affiliate may instruct BofA by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by BofA) as to the maximum number of Shares to be sold through BofA, as agent, on such day (in any event not in excess of the number available for sale under the Prospectus and the currently effective Registration Statement) and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, BofA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as agent, all designated Shares. The Company and Carnival plc each acknowledge and agree that (A) there can be no assurance that BofA will be successful in selling the Shares, (B) BofA will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or Carnival plc or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by BofA to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement, and (C) BofA shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis. BofA shall discuss with the Company, in advance of execution, any market conditions which it considers to be relevant to such execution. In particular, it shall monitor the market impact of any actual or proposed sales instructed by the Company or its designated affiliate and shall, if it considers that any price movements in the market for shares of Common Stock could be attributed to any such sales, or are unexpected or abnormal, temporarily cease trading immediately (subject to any trades which at the relevant time are already in the order system or which are being processed, which will be halted as soon as possible) and as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Company and Carnival plc of the cessation of trading and the market impact information which it deems to be relevant, whereupon it shall discuss with the Company and Carnival plc any amendments or refinements to the original sale instruction and the resumption of trading.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not authorize the sale of, and BofA shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as agent, any Shares (i) at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time, or (ii) in a number in excess of the number of Shares authorized from time to time to be sold under this Agreement, in each case, by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to BofA in writing. In addition, the Company or BofA may, upon notice to the other by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged), suspend the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(d)Under no circumstances shall (i) the aggregate number of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement exceed the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock (A) set forth in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, (B) available for sale under the Prospectus and the then currently effective Registration Statement or (C) authorized from time to time to be sold under this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to BofA in writing; and (ii) any Shares be sold at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to BofA in writing.

15

(e)BofA hereby covenants and agrees (i) not to make any sales of Shares on behalf of the Company other than on the Exchange or otherwise by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions and (ii) in connection with any sale of Shares and any purchase of ordinary shares of Carnival plc, it will not use any “special selling efforts” or “special selling methods” within the meaning of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(f)The gross sales price of any Shares sold under this Agreement shall be the price for Shares sold by BofA under this Agreement, on the Exchange or otherwise by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions, at the time of such sale. The compensation payable to BofA for sales of Shares shall be as agreed from time to time by the Company and BofA, but shall not exceed 2.00% of the gross sales price of the Shares for amounts of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”). BofA shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be required.

(g)BofA shall provide written confirmation to the Company following the close of trading on the Exchange each day in which Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the gross sales prices of such Shares sold, the Net Proceeds to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to BofA with respect to such sales.

(h)Settlement for sales of Shares will occur on the second business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to by or on behalf of the Company and BofA (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Shares sold through BofA for settlement on such date shall be delivered by the Company to BofA against payment of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all Shares shall be effected by book-entry delivery of Shares to BofA’s account at DTC 5198 against payments by BofA of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares on any Settlement Date, the Company shall pay BofA any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default and the Company and Carnival plc shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold BofA harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company. If BofA breaches this Agreement by failing to deliver the applicable Net Proceeds on any Settlement Date for Shares delivered by or on behalf of the Company, BofA will pay the Company interest based on the effective overnight federal funds rate until such proceeds, together with such interest, have been fully paid.

Section 7.Indemnification.

(a)The Company and Carnival plc, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless BofA from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” approved or permitted by the Company and filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse BofA for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by BofA in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Carnival plc shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by BofA expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by BofA consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) below.

23

Insofar as this Section 7 may permit indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of any person who is a partner of BofA or who controls BofA within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and who, at the date of this Agreement, is a director or officer of the Company or Carnival plc, or controls the Company or Carnival plc within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, this Section 7 is subject to the undertaking of the Company in the Registration Statement under Item 17 thereof.

(b)BofA will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Carnival plc from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or Carnival plc may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any road show, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by BofA expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that no such information was furnished by BofA; and will reimburse the Company or Carnival plc, as applicable, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or Carnival plc in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

24

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection except and then only to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise of or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any such action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Carnival plc on the one hand and BofA on the other from the offering of the Shares to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and Carnival plc on the one hand and BofA on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and Carnival plc on the one hand and BofA on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company or Carnival plc bear to the total commissions received by BofA. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or Carnival plc on the one hand or BofA on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, Carnival plc and BofA each agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), BofA shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by it to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which BofA has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

25

(e)The obligations of the Company and Carnival plc under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and Carnival plc may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the directors and officers of BofA and to each person, if any, who controls BofA within the meaning of the Securities Act and each broker dealer affiliate of BofA; and the obligations of BofA under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which BofA may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and Carnival plc and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or Carnival plc within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Section 8.Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of each of the Company, Carnival plc and BofA, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of BofA or any controlling person of BofA or the Company or Carnival plc or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company or Carnival plc, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

Section 9.No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and Carnival plc each acknowledges and agrees that (i) BofA is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company and Carnival plc with respect to the offering of Shares contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of such offering) and (ii) BofA has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or Carnival plc with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether BofA has advised or is currently advising the Company or Carnival plc on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or Carnival plc except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iii)  the Company and Carnival plc have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they have deemed it appropriate. The Company and Carnival plc each agree that it will not claim that BofA has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or Carnival plc, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 10.Termination.

(a)The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale through BofA, as agent for the Company, the obligations of the Company and Carnival plc, including in respect of compensation of BofA, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 1, 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

26

(b)BofA shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time.

(c)This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until and unless terminated pursuant to Section 10(a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement or pursuant to this clause (c) shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 1, 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(d)Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by BofA or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(h) hereof.

No purchaser of Shares through BofA shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
