NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Royal Caribbean,” "Royal Caribbean Group," the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and, depending on the context, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or affiliates. The terms “Royal Caribbean International,” “Celebrity Cruises,” and "Silversea Cruises" refer to our wholly owned global cruise brands. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we also refer to our partner brands in which we hold an ownership interest, including “TUI Cruises” and "Hapag-Lloyd Cruises." However, because these partner brands are unconsolidated investments, our operating results and other disclosures herein do not include these brands unless otherwise specified. In accordance with cruise vacation industry practice, the term “berths” is determined based on double occupancy per cabin even though many cabins can accommodate three or more passengers. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also includes trademarks, trade names and service marks of other companies. Use or display by us of other parties’ trademarks, trade names or service marks is not intended to and does not imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, these other parties other than as described herein.

Note 1. General

Description of Business 

We are a global cruise company. We own and operate three global cruise brands: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises (collectively, our "Global Brands"). We also own a 50% joint venture interest in TUI Cruises GmbH ("TUIC"), which operates the German brands TUI Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises (collectively, our "Partner Brands"). We account for our investments in our Partner Brands under the equity method of accounting. Together, our Global Brands and our Partner Brands have a combined fleet of 63 ships as of June 30, 2022. Our ships offer a selection of worldwide itineraries that call on more than 1,000 destinations on all seven continents.

Management's Plan and Liquidity

During 2021, we restarted our global cruise operations in a phased manner, following our voluntary suspension of global cruise operations that commenced in March of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have steadily increased the number of ships that have returned to service, with our full fleet in service as of June 30, 2022. Our operations incorporate our enhanced health and safety protocols, including vaccination protocols.

Since the start of the pandemic, we have implemented a number of proactive measures to mitigate the financial and operational impacts of COVID-19 and manage our liquidity. As part of our liquidity management, we rely on the estimation of our future liquidity requirements, which includes numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The principal assumptions used to estimate our future liquidity requirements consist of:

•Continued cruise operations and expected timing of cash collections for cruise bookings;

•Expected increase in revenue per available passenger cruise day;

•Expected increase in occupancy levels over time until we reach historical occupancy levels; and

•Inflationary increase to our operating costs, mostly impacting the expected cost of fuel and food.

As of June 30, 2022, we had liquidity of $3.3 billion, including $0.5 billion of undrawn revolving credit facility capacity, $2.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and a $0.7 billion commitment for a 364-day term loan facility available to draw on at any time prior to August 12, 2022. Our revolving credit facilities were mostly utilized through a combination of amounts drawn and letters of credit issued under the facilities as of June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with our financial covenants and we estimate we will be in compliance for the next twelve months. In July 2022, we amended our non-export-credit facilities and export credit facilities plus committed export-credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements. Refer to Note 7. Debt for further information regarding our debt facilities and credit card processing agreements, including related covenants.

In June of 2023, approximately $3.2 billion of long- term debt will become due. Accordingly, in addition to our $3.3 billion liquidity as of June 30, 2022, in February 2022 we entered into certain agreements with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC (“MS”) where MS agreed to provide backstop committed financing to refinance, repurchase and/or repay in whole or in

8

part our existing and outstanding 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, 9.125% Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes due 2023 (the "Priority Guaranteed Notes"), and 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2023. Pursuant to the agreements, we may, at our sole option, issue and sell to MS (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) five-year senior unsecured notes with gross proceeds of up to $3.15 billion at any time between April 1, 2023 and June 29, 2023, to refinance the aforementioned notes.

Based on our assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19 and our resumption of operations, as well as our present financial condition, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to fund our obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Additionally, we will continue to pursue various opportunities to raise additional capital to fund obligations associated with future debt maturities and/or to extend the maturity dates associated with our existing indebtedness or facilities. Actions to raise capital may include issuances of debt, convertible debt or equity in private or public transactions or entering into new or extended credit facilities.

If the Company is unable to comply with the applicable financial covenants, including maintaining the applicable minimum liquidity requirement, it could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods reported herein. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any items discussed in the notes below. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Estimates are required for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with these principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate entities over which we have control, usually evidenced by a direct ownership interest of greater than 50%, and variable interest entities where we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 6. Other Assets for further information regarding our variable interest entities. For affiliates we do not control but over which we have significant influence on financial and operating policies, usually evidenced by a direct ownership interest from 20% to 50%, the investment is accounted for using the equity method.

Effective March 19, 2021, we sold our wholly-owned brand, Azamara Cruises ("Azamara"), including its three-ship fleet and associated intellectual property, to Sycamore Partners for $201 million, subject to closing adjustments. The March 2021 sale of Azamara did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, as we continue to provide similar itineraries to and source passengers from the markets served by the Azamara business. Therefore, the sale of Azamara did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations reporting. Effective March 19, 2021, we no longer consolidate Azamara's balance sheet nor recognize its results of operations in our consolidated financial statements. We recognized an immaterial gain on the sale during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and have agreed to provide certain transition services to Azamara for a period of time for a fee.

Prior to October 1, 2021, we consolidated the operating results of Silversea Cruises on a three-month reporting lag to allow for more timely preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Effective October 1, 2021, we eliminated the three- month reporting lag to reflect Silversea Cruises' financial position, results of operations and cash flows concurrently and consistently with the fiscal calendar of the Company ("elimination of the Silversea reporting lag"). The elimination of the Silversea reporting lag represents a change in accounting principle which we believe to be preferable because it provides more current information to the users of our financial statements. A change in accounting principle requires retrospective application, if material. The impact of the elimination of the reporting lag was immaterial to prior periods and was immaterial for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, we have accounted for this change in accounting principle in our consolidated results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the results of Silversea Cruises from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 and from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 are included in our consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The results of Silversea Cruises from January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021 and from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 are included in our consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU") No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") or for convertible debt issued at a substantial premium. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, permitting more contracts to qualify for it. In addition, the guidance eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The guidance also decreases interest expense due to the reversal of the remaining non-cash convertible debt discount. On January 1, 2022, we adopted this pronouncement using the modified retrospective approach to recognize our convertible notes as single liability instruments given they do not qualify as derivatives under ASC 815, nor were they issued at a substantial premium. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2022, we recorded a $161.4 million increase to debt, primarily as a result of the reversal of the remaining non-cash convertible debt discount, as well as a reduction of $307.6 million to additional paid in capital, which resulted in a cumulative effect on adoption of approximately $146.2 million to increase retained earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB") issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Subsequently, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which presents amendments to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance in both ASUs was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. The impact, if any, will be dependent on the terms of any future contract modifications related to a change in reference rate.

Note 3. Revenues

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are measured based on consideration specified in our contracts with customers and are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

The majority of our revenues are derived from passenger cruise contracts which are reported within Passenger ticket revenues in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Our performance obligation under these contracts is to provide a cruise vacation in exchange for the ticket price. We satisfy this performance obligation and recognize revenue over the duration of each cruise, which generally ranges from two to 25 nights.

Passenger ticket revenues include charges to our guests for port costs that vary with passenger head counts. These type of port costs, along with port costs that do not vary by passenger head counts, are included in our cruise operating expenses. The amounts of port costs charged to our guests and included within Passenger ticket revenues on a gross basis were $236.2 million and $3.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $313.1 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Our total revenues also include Onboard and other revenues, which consist primarily of revenues from the sale of goods and services onboard our ships that are not included in passenger ticket prices. We receive payment before or concurrently with the transfer of these goods and services to cruise passengers and recognize revenue over the duration of the related cruise.

As a practical expedient, we have omitted disclosures on our remaining performance obligations as the duration of our contracts with customers is less than a year.

10

Disaggregated Revenues

The following table disaggregates our total revenues by geographic regions where we provide cruise itineraries (in thousands):

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Revenues by itinerary
North America (1)	$	1,344,043	$	11,632	$	2,233,130	$	11,632
Asia/Pacific	45,216		19,317		79,849		49,202
Europe	527,134		3,765		528,559		3,765
Other regions(2)	159,390		1,900		239,022		2,710
Total revenues by itinerary	2,075,783		36,614		3,080,560		67,309
Other revenues(3)	108,459		14,300		162,913		25,619
Total revenues	$	2,184,242	$	50,914	$	3,243,473	$	92,928

(1)Includes the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

(2) Includes seasonality impacted itineraries primarily in South and Latin American countries.

(3) Includes revenues primarily related to cancellation fees, vacation protection insurance, pre- and post-cruise tours and fees for operating certain port facilities. Amounts also include revenues related to procurement and management related services we perform on behalf of our unconsolidated affiliates. Refer to Note 6. Other Assets for more information on our unconsolidated affiliates.

Passenger ticket revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on where the reservation originates. For the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our guests were sourced from the following areas:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Passenger ticket revenues:
United States	78	%	44	%
Singapore	2	%	54	%
All other countries (1)	20	%	2	%

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Passenger ticket revenues:
United States	80	%	23	%
Singapore	3	%	61	%
China	1	%	15	%
All other countries (1)	16	%	1	%

(1)No other individual country's revenue exceeded 10% for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Customer Deposits and Contract Liabilities

Our payment terms generally require an upfront deposit to confirm a reservation, with the balance due prior to the cruise. Deposits received on sales of passenger cruises are initially recorded as Customer deposits in our consolidated balance sheets and subsequently recognized as passenger ticket revenues or onboard revenues during the duration of the cruise. ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, defines a “contract liability” as an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration from the customer. We do not consider customer deposits to be a contract liability until the customer no longer retains the unilateral right, resulting from the passage of time, to cancel such customer's reservation and receive a full refund. Customer deposits presented in our consolidated balance sheets include contract liabilities of $1.9 billion and $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

11

We have provided flexibility to guests with bookings on sailings cancelled due to COVID-19 by allowing guests to receive future cruise credits (“FCC”). As of June 30, 2022, our customer deposit balance includes approximately $0.6 billion of unredeemed FCCs. Given the uncertainty of travel demand caused by COVID-19 and lack of comparable historical experience of FCC redemptions, we are unable to estimate the number of FCCs that will not be used in future periods and get recognized as breakage. We will update our breakage analysis as future information is received.

Contract Receivables and Contract Assets

Although we generally require full payment from our customers prior to their cruise, we grant credit terms to a relatively small portion of our revenue sourced in select markets outside of the United States. As a result, we have outstanding receivables from passenger cruise contracts in those markets. We also have receivables from credit card merchants for cruise ticket purchases and goods and services sold to guests during cruises that are collected before, during or shortly after the cruise voyage. In addition, we have receivables due from concessionaires onboard our vessels. These receivables are included within Trade and other receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheets.

We have contract assets that are conditional rights to consideration for satisfying the construction services performance obligations under a service concession arrangement. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our contract assets were $118.9 million and $52.9 million, respectively, and were included within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Given the short duration of our cruises and our collection terms, we do not have any other significant contract assets.

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

Prepaid travel advisor commissions are an incremental cost of obtaining contracts with customers that we recognize as an asset and include within Prepaid expenses and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Prepaid travel advisor commissions were $119.4 million as of June 30, 2022 and $75.4 million as of December 31, 2021. Substantially all of our prepaid travel advisor commissions at December 31, 2021 were expensed and reported primarily within Commissions, transportation and other in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Note 4. (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Net (Loss) for basic and diluted loss per share	$	(521,582)	$	(1,347,255)	$	(1,688,724)	$	(2,478,977)
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	254,964		254,577		254,893		248,823
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	254,964		254,577		254,893		248,823
Basic (loss) per share	$	(2.05)	$	(5.29)	$	(6.63)	$	(9.96)
Diluted (loss) per share	$	(2.05)	$	(5.29)	$	(6.63)	$	(9.96)

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing Net Loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of potentially dilutive securities. As we had net losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, all potential common shares were determined to be antidilutive, resulting in the same basic and diluted net loss per share amounts for these periods. There were approximately 23,526,181 and 23,597,611 antidilutive shares for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 445,000 and 449,000 for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2022, ASU 2020-06 eliminated the treasury stock method and instead required the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share when the instruments may be settled in cash or shares. Under the if-converted method, shares related to our convertible notes, to the extent dilutive, are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period. The required use of the if-converted method did not impact our diluted net loss per share as the Company was in a net loss position. For further information regarding the adoption of ASU 2020-06, refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Note 5. Property and Equipment

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we determined that certain construction in progress projects would be reduced in scope or would no longer be completed due to the impact COVID-19 has had to our operations. This led to an impairment of $40.6 million of construction in progress assets previously reported in Property and equipment, net. This impairment charge was reported within Impairment and credit losses (recoveries) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

In January 2022 and April 2022, we took delivery of Wonder of the Seas and Celebrity Beyond, respectively. Refer to Note 7. Debt for further information on the financing for Wonder of the Seas and Celebrity Beyond.

In July 2022, we purchased a ship for our Silversea Cruises brand for $275.0 million, plus transaction fees. The ship is expected to enter service during the fourth quarter of 2022. For information regarding the financing of the ship, refer to Note 7. Debt.

Note 6. Other Assets

A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which the equity investors have not provided enough equity to finance the entity’s activities or the equity investors: (1) cannot directly or indirectly make decisions about the entity’s activities through their voting rights or similar rights; (2) do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; (3) do not have the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (4) have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the entity’s activities involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

We have determined that TUI Cruises GmbH ("TUIC"), our 50%-owned joint venture, which operates the brands TUI Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, is a VIE. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of TUIC. We believe that the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact TUIC’s economic performance is shared between ourselves and TUI AG, our joint venture partner. All the significant operating and financial decisions of TUIC require the consent of both parties, which we believe creates shared power over TUIC. Accordingly, we do not consolidate this entity and account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

As of June 30, 2022, the net book value of our investment in TUIC was $365.0 million, primarily consisting of $258.6 million in equity and a loan of €95.2 million, or approximately $99.5 million based on the exchange rate at June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the net book value of our investment in TUIC was $444.4 million, primarily consisting of $322.4 million in equity and a loan of €103.0 million, or approximately $117.2 million based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2021. The loan, which was made in connection with the sale of Splendour of the Seas in April 2016, accrues interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable over 10 years. This loan is 50% guaranteed by TUI AG and is secured by a first priority mortgage on the ship. The majority of these amounts were included within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we and TUI AG each contributed €59.5 million, or approximately $69.9 million based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2021, of additional equity through a combination of cash contributions and conversion of existing receivables.

TUIC has various ship construction and financing agreements which include certain restrictions on each of our and TUI AG’s ability to reduce our current ownership interest in TUI Cruises below 37.55% through May 2033. Our investment amount and outstanding term loan are substantially our maximum exposure to loss in connection with our investment in TUIC.

We have determined that Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd. ("Grand Bahama"), a ship repair and maintenance facility in which we have a 40% noncontrolling interest, is a VIE. This facility serves cruise and cargo ships, oil and gas tankers and offshore units. We utilize this facility, among other ship repair facilities, for our regularly scheduled drydocks and certain emergency repairs as may be required. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, we made payments of $4.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively to Grand Bahama for ship repair and maintenance services compared to payments of $2.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of this facility as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the facility’s economic performance. Accordingly, we do not consolidate this entity.

Our loan to Grand Bahama matures March 2026 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% to 3.75%, capped at 5.75%. Interest payable on the loan is due on a semi-annual basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received principal and interest payments of $8.9 million related to a term loan that had fully matured. We did not receive principal and interest payments during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we had exposure to credit loss in Grand Bahama of $10.7 million related to the loan. The outstanding loan balance is in non-accrual status and is included within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we are currently recognizing our share of net accumulated equity method losses against the carrying value of our loan receivable from Grand Bahama. We monitor credit risk associated with the loan through

13

our participation on Grand Bahama’s board of directors along with our review of Grand Bahama’s financial statements and projected cash flows. 

The following tables set forth information regarding our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, including the entities discussed above (in thousands):

Credit Losses

We reviewed our notes receivable for credit losses in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. In evaluating the allowance, management considered factors such as historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. Based on these credit loss estimation factors, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a net credit loss recovery of $10.6 million primarily resulting from cash collections received on a note receivable, in which credit losses were previously recorded. Our credit loss allowance beginning and ending balances as of January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022 primarily relate to credit losses recognized on notes receivable for the previous sale of our property and equipment of $81.6 million and other receivable balances primarily related to loans due from travel advisors of $12.6 million.

The following table summarizes our credit loss allowance related to receivables for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

(2) Includes $1.9 billion facility and $1.3 billion facility, the vast majority of which is due in 2024. Our $1.9 billion facility accrues interest at LIBOR plus a maximum interest rate margin of 1.30% which interest was 3.09% as of June 30, 2022 and is subject to a facility fee of a maximum of 0.20%. Our $1.3 billion facility accrues interest at LIBOR plus a maximum interest rate margin of 1.70%, which interest was 3.49% as of June 30, 2022 and is subject to a facility fee of a maximum of 0.30%.

(3) At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate for total debt was 6.09% and 5.47%, respectively.

In January 2022, we took delivery of Wonder of the Seas. To finance the delivery, we borrowed a total of $1.3 billion under a credit agreement novated to us upon delivery of the ship in January 2022, resulting in an unsecured term loan which is 100% guaranteed by Bpifrance Assurance Export ("BpiFAE"), the official export credit agency ("ECA") of France. The unsecured loan amortizes semi-annually over 12 years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.18% per annum.

In January 2022, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes (the "January 2022 Unsecured Notes") due in 2027 for net proceeds of approximately $990.0 million. Interest accrues on the January 2022 Unsecured Notes at a fixed rate of 5.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears. The proceeds from the January 2022 Unsecured Notes are being used to repay principal payments on debt maturing in 2022 (including to pay fees and expenses in connection with such repayments) and have been temporarily applied to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.

In February 2022, we entered into certain agreements with MS where MS agreed to provide backstop committed financing to refinance, repurchase and/or repay in whole or in part our existing and outstanding 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, Priority Guaranteed Notes and 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2023. Pursuant to the agreements, we may, at our sole option, issue and sell to MS (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) five-year senior unsecured notes with gross proceeds of up to $3.15 billion at any time between April 1, 2023 and June 29, 2023, to refinance the aforementioned notes.

In April 2022, we took delivery of Celebrity Beyond. To finance the delivery, we borrowed a total of €0.7 billion under a credit agreement novated to us upon delivery of the ship in April 2022, resulting in an unsecured term loan which is 100%

15

guaranteed by BpiFAE. The unsecured loan amortizes semi-annually over 12 years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.28% per annum.

In July 2022, we purchased a ship for our Silversea Cruises brand. To finance the purchase, we borrowed $277 million, which is 95% guaranteed by Euler Hermes Aktiengesellschaft (“Hermes”), the official export credit agency of Germany. The loan amortizes semi-annually over 15 years and bears interest at a floating rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 1.25%. Principal payments to the lender will commence in July 2024 and the loan will mature in July 2037.

Our export credit facilities and our non-export credit facilities have an outstanding principal amount of approximately $13.1 billion as of June 30, 2022. These facilities contain covenants that require us, among other things, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25x and limit our net debt-to-capital ratio, and under certain facilities, to maintain a minimum shareholders' equity. In 2021, we amended our non-export credit facilities and export credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements, to extend the waiver of our financial covenants through and including at least the third quarter of 2022, and subsequently in the third quarter of 2021, we entered into a letter agreement to extend the waiver period for our export credit facilities to the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. Further, in July 2022, we amended our non-export-credit facilities and export credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements. Among other things, the amendments modified the levels at which our net debt to capitalization covenant will be tested during the period commencing immediately following the end of the waiver period and continuing through the end of 2025 and the amount of minimum shareholders' equity required to be maintained through 2025. The amendments impose a monthly-tested minimum liquidity covenant of $350.0 million, which in the case of the non-export credit facilities terminates at the end of the waiver period and in the case of the export credit facilities terminates either in July 2025, or when we pay off all deferred amounts, whichever is earlier. In addition, the amendments to the non-export credit facilities place restrictions on paying cash dividends and effectuating share repurchases through the end of the third quarter of 2022, while the export credit facility amendments require us to prepay any deferred amounts if we elect to issue dividends or complete share repurchases.

As of June 30, 2022, our aggregate revolving borrowing capacity was $3.2 billion and was mostly utilized through a combination of amounts drawn and letters of credits issued under the facilities. Certain of our surety agreements with third party providers for the benefit of certain agencies and associations that provide travel related bonds, allow the sureties to request collateral. We also have agreements with our credit card processors relating to customer deposits received by us for future voyages. These agreements allow the credit card processors to require us, under certain circumstances, to maintain a reserve that can be satisfied by posting collateral. As of June 30, 2022, we have posted letters of credit as collateral with our sureties and credit card processors under our revolving credit facilities in the amount of $111.9 million.

Executed amendments are in place for the majority of our credit card processors, waiving reserve requirements tied to the breach of our financial covenants through at least September 30, 2022, with modified covenants thereafter, and as such, we do not anticipate any incremental collateral requirements for the processors covered by these waivers in the next 12 months. We have a reserve with a processor where the agreement was amended in the first quarter of 2021, such that proceeds are withheld in reserve, until the sailing takes place or the funds are refunded to the customer. The maximum projected exposure with the processor, including amounts currently withheld and reported in Trade and other receivables, is approximately $309.6 million. The amount and timing are dependent on future factors that are uncertain, such as the value of future deposits and whether we transfer our business to other processors. If we require additional waivers on the credit card processing agreements and are not able to obtain them, this could lead to the termination of these agreements or the trigger of reserve requirements.

Except for the term loans we incurred to acquire Celebrity Flora and Silver Moon, all of our unsecured ship financing term loans are guaranteed by the export credit agency in the respective country in which the ship is constructed. For the majority of the loans as of June 30, 2022, we pay to the applicable export credit agency, depending on the financing agreement, an upfront fee of 2.35% to 5.48% of the maximum loan amount in consideration for these guarantees. We amortize the fees that are paid upfront over the life of the loan. We classify these fees within Amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior to the loan being drawn, we present these fees within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Once the loan is drawn, such fees are classified as a discount to the related loan, or contra-liability account, within Current portion of long-term debt or long-term debt.

The following is a schedule of annual maturities on our total debt, net of debt issuance costs of $417.9 million, and including finance leases, as of June 30, 2022 for each of the next five years (in thousands):

(1)    Debt denominated in other currencies is calculated based on the applicable exchange rate at June 30, 2022.

Note 8. Leases

Operating Leases

Our operating leases primarily relate to preferred berthing arrangements, real estate and shipboard equipment, and are included within Operating lease right-of-use assets, and Long-term operating lease liabilities with the current portion of the liability included within Current portion of operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our operating leases include Silver Explorer, operated by Silversea Cruises. The operating lease for Silver Explorer will expire in 2023.

For some of our real estate leases and berthing agreements, we do have the option to extend our current lease term. For those lease agreements with renewal options, the renewal periods for real estate leases range from one to 10 years and the renewal periods for berthing agreements range from one to 20 years. Generally, we do not include renewal options as a component of our present value calculation for berthing agreements. However, for certain real estate leases, we include them.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rates based on LIBOR and U.S. Treasury note rates corresponding to lease terms increased by the Company’s credit risk spread and reduced by the estimated impact of collateral. In addition, we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. However, for berthing agreements, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Finance Leases

Our finance leases primarily relate to buildings and surrounding land located at our Miami headquarters, our Silver Dawn, and Silver Whisper ships. Finance leases are included within Property, and Equipment, net, and Long-term debt with the current portion of the liability included within Current portion of long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In June 2019, the Company entered into a new master lease agreement (“Master Lease”) with Miami-Dade County related to the buildings and surrounding land located at our Miami headquarters, which has been classified as a finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. In January of 2022, we executed a modification to the Master Lease to extend the expiration of the lease from 2072 to 2074, which continues to include the two five-year options to extend the lease. We continue to consider the probability of exercising the two five-year options as reasonably certain. The modification of the Master Lease did not change the classification of the lease. The total aggregate amount of the finance lease liabilities recorded for this Master Lease was $100.9 million and $127.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Silversea Cruises operates Silver Dawn under a sale-leaseback agreement with a bargain purchase option at the end of the 15-year lease term. Due to the bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term in 2036, whereby Silversea Cruises is reasonably certain of obtaining ownership of the ship, Silver Dawn is accounted for as a finance lease. The lease includes other purchase options beginning in year three, none of which are reasonably certain of being exercised at this time. The total aggregate amount of finance lease liabilities recorded for this ship was $274.3 million and $283.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

17

Silversea Cruises operates the Silver Whisper under a finance lease. The finance lease for Silver Whisper will expire in 2023, subject to an option to purchase the ship. Additionally, certain scheduled payments have been deferred and are reflected in Long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The total aggregate amount of the finance lease liabilities recorded for this ship was $16.6 million and $24.1 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The lease payments on the Silver Whisper are subject to adjustments based on the LIBOR rate.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Ship Purchase Obligations

Total Berths			38,310

In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we have an agreement in place with Chantiers de l'Atlantique to build an additional Edge-class ship for delivery in 2025, which is contingent upon completion of conditions precedent and financing.

As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate cost of our ships on order presented in the table above, excluding any ships on order by our Partner Brands, was approximately $9.4 billion, of which we had deposited $0.6 billion as of such date. Approximately 61.7% of the aggregate cost was exposed to fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate at June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 12. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments for further information.

Litigation

As previously reported, two lawsuits were filed against us in August 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Court") under Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, also known as the Helms-Burton Act. The complaint filed by Havana Docks Corporation ("Havana Docks Action") alleges it holds an interest in the Havana Cruise Port Terminal, and the complaint filed by Javier Garcia-Bengochea (the "Port of Santiago Action") alleges that he holds an interest in the Port of Santiago, Cuba, both of which were expropriated by the Cuban government. The complaints further allege that we trafficked in those properties by embarking and disembarking passengers at these facilities. The plaintiffs seek all available statutory remedies, including the value of the expropriated property, plus interest, treble damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Court dismissed the Port of Santiago Action with prejudice on the basis that the plaintiff lacked standing, and the plaintiff’s appeal of the dismissal is awaiting a decision by the appellate court. In the Havana Docks Action, the Court granted summary judgement in favor of the plaintiff as to liability and a trial on damages has been scheduled for September 2022. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in both the Havana Docks Action and the Port of Santiago Action, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against them. Given that the outcome of the litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the final outcome of either case will not be material, and we cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the litigation.

20

We are routinely involved in claims typical within the cruise vacation industry. The majority of these claims are covered by insurance. We believe the outcome of such claims, net of expected insurance recoveries, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations and cash flows.

Other

Some of the contracts that we enter into include indemnification provisions that obligate us to make payments to the counterparty if certain events occur. These contingencies generally relate to changes in taxes, increased lender capital costs and other similar costs. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. There are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses and we are not able to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these indemnification clauses. We have not been required to make any payments under such indemnification clauses in the past and, under current circumstances, we do not believe an indemnification in any material amount is probable.

If any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of our common stock or, subject to certain exceptions, during any 24-month period, a majority of our board of directors is no longer comprised of individuals who were members of our board of directors on the first day of such period, we may be obligated to prepay indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities, which we may be unable to replace on similar terms. Our debt securities also contain change of control provisions that would be triggered by a third-party acquisition of greater than 50% of our common stock coupled with a ratings downgrade. If this were to occur, it would have an adverse impact on our liquidity and operations.

Note 10. Shareholders' Equity

On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach to recognize our convertible notes as single liability instruments. As a result of the adoption of this pronouncement, the cumulative effect to Shareholders' equity was a reduction of $161.4 million. For further information regarding the entry recorded and the adoption of ASU 2020-06, refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Common Stock Issued

During March 2021, we issued 16.9 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $91.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $1.5 billion from the sale of our common stock, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Dividends

During the second quarter of 2020, we agreed with certain of our lenders not to pay dividends or engage in common stock repurchases for so long as our debt covenant waivers are in effect. In addition, in the event we declare a dividend or engage in share repurchases, we will need to repay the amounts deferred under our export credit facilities. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not declare dividends. Pursuant to amendments made to these agreements during the first quarter of 2021, the restrictions on paying cash dividends and effectuating share repurchases were extended through and including the third quarter of 2022.

(1) Inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

(2) Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the liability, either directly or indirectly. For unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loans, fair value is determined utilizing the income valuation approach. This valuation model takes into account the contract terms of our debt such as the debt maturity and the interest rate on the debt. The valuation model also takes into account the creditworthiness of the Company.

(3) Inputs that are unobservable. The Company did not use any Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(4) Consists of cash and marketable securities with original maturities of less than 90 days.

(5) Consists of unsecured revolving credit facilities, senior notes, term loans and convertible notes. These amounts do not include our finance lease obligations or commercial paper.

Other Financial Instruments 

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest and accrued expenses approximate fair value at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents information about the Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

(2)Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. For foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and fuel swaps, fair value is derived using valuation models that utilize the income valuation approach. These valuation models take into account the contract terms, such as maturity, as well as other inputs, such as foreign exchange rates and curves, fuel types, fuel curves and interest rate yield curves. Derivative instrument fair values take into account the creditworthiness of the counterparty and the Company.

(3)Inputs that are unobservable. No Level 3 inputs were used in fair value measurements of Other financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(4)Consists of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and fuel swaps. Refer to the "Fair Value of Derivative Instruments" table for breakdown by instrument type.

(5) Consists of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and fuel swaps. Refer to the "Fair Value of Derivative Instruments" table for breakdown by instrument type.

The reported fair values are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, or that will be realized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement.

Nonfinancial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Nonfinancial instruments include items such as goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, right-of-use assets and equity method investments that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate the carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents information about the Company’s nonfinancial instruments recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021
Description	Total Carrying Amount	Total Fair Value	Level 3	Total Impairment for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 (1)
Long-lived assets	—	—	—	55,213
Total	—	—	—	55,213

(1) Amount is primarily composed of construction in progress assets that were impaired during the year ended 2021 due to a reduction in scope or the decision to not complete the projects. The impairments were calculated based on orderly liquidation values. The fair value of these assets was estimated as of the date the assets were last impaired.

There were no nonfinancial instruments recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2022.

Master Netting Agreements

We have master International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements in place with our derivative instrument counterparties. These ISDA agreements generally provide for final close out netting with our counterparties for all positions in the case of default or termination of the ISDA agreement. We have determined that our ISDA agreements provide us with rights of setoff on the fair value of derivative instruments in a gain position and those in a loss position with the same counterparty. We have elected not to offset such derivative instrument fair values in our consolidated balance sheets.

See Credit Related Contingent Features for further discussion on contingent collateral requirements for our derivative instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We monitor our credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which we conduct significant business, and to minimize these risks, we select counterparties with credit risks acceptable to us and we seek to limit our exposure to an individual counterparty. Credit risk, including, but not limited to, counterparty nonperformance under derivative instruments, our credit facilities and new ship progress payment guarantees, is not considered significant, as we primarily conduct business with large, well-established financial institutions, insurance companies and export credit agencies many of which we have long-term relationships with and which have credit risks acceptable to us or where the credit risk is spread out among a large number of counterparties. As of June 30, 2022, we had counterparty credit risk exposure under our derivative instruments of $144.3 million, which was limited to the cost of replacing the contracts in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the contracts, the majority of which are currently our lending banks. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our significant counterparties. In addition, we have established guidelines we follow regarding credit ratings and instrument maturities to maintain safety and liquidity. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support credit relationships; however, in certain circumstances this option is available to us.

Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to market risk attributable to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and fuel prices. We try to mitigate these risks through a combination of our normal operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments pursuant to our hedging practices and policies. The financial impact of these hedging instruments is primarily offset by corresponding changes in the underlying exposures being hedged. We achieve this by closely matching the notional amount, term and conditions of the derivative instrument with the underlying risk being hedged. Although certain of our derivative financial instruments do not qualify or are not accounted for under hedge accounting, our objective is not to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. 

We enter into various forward, swap and option contracts to manage our interest rate exposure and to limit our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and fuel prices. These instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value and

the vast majority are designated as hedges. We also use non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of our net investment in our foreign operations and investments.

At inception of the hedge relationship, a derivative instrument that hedges the exposure to changes in the fair value of a firm commitment or a recognized asset or liability is designated as a fair value hedge. A derivative instrument that hedges a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows related to a recognized asset or liability is designated as a cash flow hedge.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges are offset against changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. The foreign currency transaction gain or loss of our non-derivative financial instruments and the changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations and investments are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss along with the associated foreign currency translation adjustment of the foreign operation or investment. In certain hedges of our net investment in foreign operations and investments, we exclude forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and we amortize the related amounts directly into earnings.

On an ongoing basis, we assess whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are "highly effective" in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow of hedged items. For our net investment hedges, we use the dollar offset method to measure effectiveness. For all other hedging programs, we use the long-haul method to assess hedge effectiveness using regression analysis for each hedge relationship. The methodology for assessing hedge effectiveness is applied on a consistent basis for each one of our hedging programs (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency ship construction, foreign currency net investment and fuel). For our regression analyses, we use an observation period of up to three years, utilizing market data relevant to the hedge horizon of each hedge relationship. High effectiveness is achieved when a statistically valid relationship reflects a high degree of offset and correlation between the changes in the fair values of the derivative instrument and the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or hedge accounting is discontinued, any change in fair value of the derivative since the last date at which it was determined to be effective is recognized in earnings.

Cash flows from derivative instruments that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. In the event that hedge accounting is discontinued, cash flows subsequent to the date of discontinuance are classified within investing activities. Cash flows from derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are classified as investing activities. 

We consider the classification of the underlying hedged item’s cash flows in determining the classification for the designated derivative instrument’s cash flows. We classify derivative instrument cash flows from hedges of benchmark interest rate or hedges of fuel expense as operating activities due to the nature of the hedged item. Likewise, we classify derivative instrument cash flows from hedges of foreign currency risk on our newbuild ship payments as investing activities.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our debt obligations, including future interest payments. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 71.3% and 65.7%, respectively, of our debt was effectively fixed-rate debt. We use interest rate swap agreements to modify our exposure to interest rate movements and to manage our interest expense.

Market risk associated with our fixed-rate debt is the potential increase in fair value resulting from a decrease in interest rates. We use interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert a portion of our fixed-rate debt to a floating-rate basis to manage this risk. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we maintained interest rate swap agreements on the following fixed-rate debt instruments:

Debt Instrument	Swap Notional as of June 30, 2022 (in thousands)		Maturity	Debt Fixed Rate	Swap Floating Rate: LIBOR plus	All-in Swap Floating Rate as of June 30, 2022
Unsecured senior notes	650,000		November 2022	5.25%	3.63%	5.04%
	$	650,000

These interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as fair value hedges.

We use interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert a portion of our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis to manage the market risk of increasing interest rates. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we maintained interest rate swap agreements on the following floating-rate debt instruments:

Debt Instrument	Swap Notional as of June 30, 2022 (in thousands)		Maturity	Debt Floating Rate		All-in Swap Fixed Rate
Celebrity Reflection term loan	$	136,354	October 2024	LIBOR plus	0.40%	2.85%
Quantum of the Seas term loan	275,625		October 2026	LIBOR plus	1.30%	3.74%
Anthem of the Seas term loan	302,083		April 2027	LIBOR plus	1.30%	3.86%
Ovation of the Seas term loan	415,000		April 2028	LIBOR plus	1.00%	3.16%
Harmony of the Seas term loan (1)	362,440		May 2028	EURIBOR plus	1.15%	2.26%
Odyssey of the Seas term loan (2)	402,500		October 2032	LIBOR plus	0.96%	3.21%
Odyssey of the Seas term loan (2)	191,667		October 2032	LIBOR plus	0.96%	2.84%
	$	2,085,669

(1)Interest rate swap agreements hedging the Euro-denominated term loan for Harmony of the Seas include EURIBOR zero-floor matching the hedged debt EURIBOR zero-floor. Amount presented is based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2022.

(2)Interest rate swap agreements hedging the term loan of Odyssey of the Seas include LIBOR zero-floors matching the debt LIBOR zero-floor. The effective dates of the $402.5 million and $191.7 million interest rate swap agreements are October 2020 and October 2022, respectively. The unsecured term loan for the financing of Odyssey of the Seas was drawn on March 2021.

These interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements related to outstanding debt as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Derivative Instruments

Our primary exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk relates to our ship construction contracts denominated in Euros, our foreign currency denominated debt and our international business operations. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage portions of the exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate cost of our ships on order was $9.4 billion, of which we had deposited $0.6 billion as of such date. These amounts do not include any ships placed on order that are contingent upon completion of conditions precedent and/or financing and any ships on order by our Partner Brands. Refer to Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on our ships on order. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 61.7% and 59.0%, respectively, of the aggregate cost of the ships under construction was exposed to fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate. Our foreign currency forward contract agreements are accounted for as cash flow or net investment hedges depending on the designation of the related hedge.

On a regular basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and, from time to time, we utilize cross-currency swap agreements and collar options to minimize the volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than our functional currency or the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. During the second quarter of 2022, we maintained an average of approximately $1.3 billion of these foreign currency forward contracts. These instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. For the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts resulted in a (loss) gain of $(80.9) million and $0.5 million, respectively, which offset gains arising from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in those same periods of $78.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These amounts were recognized in earnings within Other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts resulted in losses of $87.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively, which offset gains arising from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in those same periods of $85.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively. These amounts were recognized in earnings within Other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, excluding the forward contracts entered into to minimize remeasurement volatility, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $2.0 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.

Non-Derivative Instruments

We consider our investment in our foreign operations to be denominated in relative stable currencies and to be of a long-term nature. We address the exposure of our investments in foreign operations by denominating a portion of our debt in our subsidiaries’ and investments’ functional currencies and designating it as a hedge of these subsidiaries and investments. We had designated debt as a hedge of our net investments primarily in TUI Cruises of €315.0 million, or approximately $329.3 million, as of June 30, 2022. As of

December 31, 2021, we had designated debt as a hedge of our net investments in TUI Cruises of €97.0 million, or approximately $110.3 million.

Fuel Price Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in fuel prices relates primarily to the consumption of fuel on our ships. We use fuel swap agreements to mitigate the financial impact of fluctuations in fuel prices.

Our fuel swap agreements are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges. In the case that our hedged forecasted fuel consumption is not probable of occurring, hedge accounting will be discontinued and the related accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss will be reclassified to Other income (expense) immediately. For hedged forecasted fuel consumption that remains possible of occurring, hedge accounting will be discontinued and the related accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss will remain in accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings or the related hedged forecasted fuel consumption is deemed probable of not occurring.

Prior suspension of our cruise operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and our gradual resumption of cruise operations has resulted in reductions to our forecasted fuel purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting on 48 thousand metric tons of our fuel swap agreements maturing in 2021, which resulted in the reclassification of a net $4.4 million loss from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other income (expense). For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not discontinue cash flow hedge accounting on any of our fuel swap agreements. Changes in the fair value of fuel swaps for which cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued are currently recognized in Other income (expense) each reporting period through the maturity dates of the fuel swaps.

Future suspension of our operations or modifications to our itineraries may affect our expected forecasted fuel purchases which could result in further discontinuance of fuel swap cash flow hedge accounting and the reclassification of deferred gains or losses from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. Refer to Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A. for further discussion on risks related to COVID-19.

At June 30, 2022, we have hedged the variability in future cash flows for certain forecasted fuel transactions occurring through 2023. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had the following outstanding fuel swap agreements:

	Fuel Swap Agreements
	As of June 30, 2022	As of December 31, 2021

2023	—	—

(1)    As of June 30, 2022, 55,250 metric tons relate to fuel swap agreements with discontinued hedge accounting, in which we effectively pay fixed prices and receive floating prices from the counterparty. The remaining 55,250 tons relate to fuel swap agreements that were not designated as hedges since inception, in which we effectively pay floating prices and receive fixed prices from the counterparty.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $149.9 million of estimated unrealized gain associated with our cash flow hedges pertaining to fuel swap agreements is expected to be reclassified to earnings from Accumulated other comprehensive loss within the next twelve months when compared to $23.8 million of estimated unrealized net gain at December 31, 2021. Reclassification is expected to occur as the result of fuel consumption associated with our hedged forecasted fuel purchases.

Credit Related Contingent Features

Our current interest rate derivative instruments require us to post collateral if our Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s credit ratings fall below specified levels. Specifically, under most of our agreements, if on the fifth anniversary of executing a derivative instrument, or on any succeeding fifth-year anniversary, our credit ratings for our senior unsecured debt is rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s and Baa3 by Moody’s, then the counterparty will periodically have the right to demand that we post collateral in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the net market value of all derivative transactions with such counterparty that have reached their fifth year anniversary, to the extent negative, and (ii) the applicable minimum call amount.

The amount of collateral required to be posted will change as, and to the extent, our net liability position increases or decreases by more than the applicable minimum call amount. If our credit rating for our senior unsecured debt is subsequently equal to or above BBB- by Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 by Moody’s, then any collateral posted at such time will be released to us and we will no longer be required to post collateral unless we meet the collateral trigger requirement, generally, at the next fifth-year anniversary.

As of June 30, 2022, our senior unsecured debt credit rating was B by Standard & Poor's and B2 by Moody's. As of June 30, 2022, six of our interest rate derivative hedges had reached their fifth-year anniversary; however, our net market value for these derivative hedges are in a net asset position, accordingly, we were not required to post any collateral as of such date. We expect that we will not need to provide additional collateral under these agreements in the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Seasonality

Our revenues are seasonal based on demand for cruises. Demand has historically been strongest for cruises during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer months and holidays. In order to mitigate the impact of the winter weather in the Northern Hemisphere and to capitalize on the summer season in the Southern Hemisphere, our brands have historically focused on deployment to the Caribbean, Asia and Australia during that period. This seasonal trend was disrupted with the voluntary suspension of our global cruise operations effective March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and through the gradual resumption of global cruise operations commencing in the second half of 2021.

Financial Presentation

Description of Certain Line Items

Revenues

Our revenues are comprised of the following:

•Passenger ticket revenues, which consist of revenue recognized from the sale of passenger tickets and the sale of air transportation to and from our ships; and

•Onboard and other revenues, which consist primarily of revenues from the sale of goods and/or services onboard our ships not included in passenger ticket prices, cancellation fees, sales of vacation protection insurance, pre- and post-cruise tours and fees for operating certain port facilities. Onboard and other revenues also include revenues we receive from independent third-party concessionaires that pay us a percentage of their revenues in exchange for the right to provide selected goods and/or services onboard our ships, as well as revenues received for procurement and management related services we perform on behalf of our unconsolidated affiliates. 

Cruise Operating Expenses 

Our cruise operating expenses are comprised of the following:

•Commissions, transportation and other expenses, which consist of those costs directly associated with passenger ticket revenues, including travel agent commissions, air and other transportation expenses, port costs that vary with passenger head counts and related credit card fees;

•Onboard and other expenses, which consist of the direct costs associated with onboard and other revenues, including the costs of products sold onboard our ships, vacation protection insurance premiums, costs associated with pre- and post-cruise tours and related credit card fees, as well as the minimal costs associated with concession revenues, as the costs are mostly incurred by third-party concessionaires, and costs incurred for the procurement and management related services we perform on behalf of our unconsolidated affiliates;

•Payroll and related expenses, which consist of costs for shipboard personnel (costs associated with our shoreside personnel are included in Marketing, selling and administrative expenses);

•Food expenses, which include food costs for both guests and crew;

•Fuel expenses, which include fuel and related delivery, storage and emission consumable costs and the financial impact of fuel swap agreements; and

•Other operating expenses, which consist primarily of operating costs such as repairs and maintenance, port costs that do not vary with passenger head counts, vessel related insurance, entertainment and gains and/or losses related to the sale of our ships, if any.  

We do not allocate payroll and related expenses, food expenses, fuel expenses or other operating expenses to the expense categories attributable to passenger ticket revenues or onboard and other revenues since they are incurred to provide the total cruise vacation experience.

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics 

We utilize a variety of operational and financial metrics which are defined below to evaluate our performance and financial condition. As discussed in more detail herein, certain of these metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided along with the related GAAP financial measures as we believe they provide useful information to investors as a supplement to our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (as defined below) excluding (i) other income; (ii) impairment and credit losses (recoveries); (iii) restructuring charges and other initiative expenses; (iv) equity investment asset impairments; (v) net insurance recoveries related to the collapse of the drydock structure at the Grand Bahama Shipyard involving Oasis of the Seas; and (vi) the net gain recognized in 2021 in relation to the sale of the Azamara brand. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is meaningful when assessing our operating performance on a comparative basis.

Adjusted (Loss) Earnings per Share ("Adjusted EPS") represents Adjusted Net (Loss) Income (as defined below) divided by weighted average shares outstanding or by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as applicable. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is meaningful when assessing our performance on a comparative basis.

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income represents net (loss) income excluding certain items that we believe adjusting for is meaningful when assessing our performance on a comparative basis. For the periods presented, these items included (i) impairment and credit losses (recoveries); (ii) restructuring charges and other initiative expenses; (iii) the amortization of the Silversea Cruises intangible assets resulting from the Silversea Cruises acquisition in 2018; (iv) the amortization of non-cash debt discount on our convertible notes; (v) the estimated cash refunds expected to be paid to Pullmantur guests as part of the Pullmantur S.A. reorganization in 2020; (vi) gain on the extinguishment of debt; (vii) equity investment asset impairments; (viii) net insurance recoveries related to the collapse of the drydock structure at the Grand Bahama Shipyard involving Oasis of the Seas; and (ix) the net gain recognized in the first quarter of 2021 in relation to the sale of the Azamara brand.

Available Passenger Cruise Days (“APCD”) is our measurement of capacity and represents double occupancy per cabin multiplied by the number of cruise days for the period, which excludes canceled cruise days and cabins not available for sale. We use this measure to perform capacity and rate analysis to identify our main non-capacity drivers that cause our cruise revenue and expenses to vary.

EBITDA represents net (loss) income excluding (i) interest income; (ii) interest expense, net of interest capitalized; (iii) depreciation and amortization expenses; and (iv) income tax benefit or expense. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is meaningful when assessing our operating performance on a comparative basis.

Gross Cruise Costs represent the sum of total cruise operating expenses plus marketing, selling and administrative expenses.

Net Cruise Costs and Net Cruise Costs Excluding Fuel represent Gross Cruise Costs excluding commissions, transportation and other expenses and onboard and other expenses and, in the case of Net Cruise Costs Excluding Fuel, fuel expenses (each of which is described above under the Description of Certain Line Items heading). In measuring our ability to control costs in a manner that positively impacts net income, we believe changes in Net Cruise Costs and Net Cruise Costs Excluding Fuel to be the most relevant indicators of our performance. A reconciliation of historical Gross Cruise Costs to Net Cruise Costs and Net Cruise Costs Excluding Fuel is provided below under Results of Operations. For the 2022 period presented, Net Cruise Costs and Net Cruise Costs Excluding Fuel excludes restructuring and other initiative expenses.

Occupancy ("Load Factor"), in accordance with cruise vacation industry practice, occupancy is calculated by dividing Passenger Cruise Days (as defined below) by APCD. A percentage in excess of 100% indicates that three or more passengers occupied some cabins.

Passenger Cruise Days represent the number of passengers carried for the period multiplied by the number of days of their respective cruises.

Although discussed in prior periods, we did not disclose or reconcile in this report our Gross Yields and Net Yields, as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Historically, we have utilized these financial metrics to measure relevant rate comparisons to other periods. However, our 2022 and 2021 reduction in capacity and revenues, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, do not allow for a meaningful analysis and comparison of these metrics and as such these metrics have been excluded from this report.

We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of the projected non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because preparation of meaningful U.S.GAAP projections would require unreasonable effort. Due to

26

significant uncertainty, we are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, the future movement of foreign exchange rates, fuel prices and interest rates inclusive of our related hedging programs. In addition, we are unable to determine the future impact of non-core business related gains and losses which may result from strategic initiatives. These items are uncertain and could be material to our results of operations in accordance with U.S GAAP. Due to this uncertainty, we do not believe that reconciling information for such projected figures would be meaningful.

Recent Developments

Continued Fleet Ramp-up

During 2021, we restarted our global cruise operations in a phased manner, following our voluntary suspension of global cruise operations that commenced in March of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have steadily increased the number of ships that have returned to service, with our full fleet in service as of June 30, 2022. Our operations incorporate our enhanced health and safety protocols, including vaccination protocols.

Wonder of the Seas and Celebrity Beyond were delivered and commenced operations in the first quarter and second quarter of 2022, respectively.

We are currently offering cruise itineraries in all of our key destinations with the exception of China. China remains closed to cruising, resulting in the redeployment of ships planned for China to other markets.

Operating Costs

We are experiencing inflationary and supply chain challenges, mainly related to fuel and food costs, as well as transitory costs related to our health and safety protocols. We expect these challenges to continue to have an adverse impact on our 2022 operating costs.

Update on Bookings

Booking volumes received in the second quarter for 2022 sailings averaged 30% above 2019 booking volumes for 2019 sailings in the corresponding period. Guests are booking their cruises closer-in compared to prior years, contributing to the better-than-expected load factors in the second quarter. In addition, cancellation activity has now returned to pre-COVID levels. As expected, load factors for sailings in the second half of 2022 remain below historical levels. Second half 2022 sailings are booked at higher prices than 2019, both including and excluding FCCs.

While demand for the critical Europe season has been strong over the past three months, the combination of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war set back load factor recovery, particularly in the third quarter of 2022, when European itineraries typically account for about a third of overall capacity.

As of June 30, 2022 we had $4.2 billion in customer deposits. Approximately 20% of the customer deposit balance as of June 30, 2022 is related to FCCs compared to 32% of the customer deposit balance as of December 31, 2021, a positive trend indicating new demand.

Update on Recent Liquidity Actions and Ongoing Uses of Cash

Refer to Funding Needs and Sources for discussion regarding our recent liquidity actions and ongoing uses of cash.

Capital Expenditures

Refer to Future Capital Commitments for discussion on capital expenditures.

Debt Maturities, New Financings and Other Liquidity Actions

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we continued to take actions to further improve our liquidity position and manage cash flow. In particular, we:

•issued $1.0 billion of senior notes (the "January 2022 Unsecured Notes") due in 2027 for net proceeds of approximately $990.0 million. Interest accrues on the January 2022 Unsecured Notes at a fixed rate of 5.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears; and

•entered into certain agreements with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC (“MS”) where MS agrees to provide backstop committed financing to refinance, repurchase and/or repay in whole or in part our existing and outstanding 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, 9.125% Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes due 2023 (the "Priority Guaranteed Notes"), and 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2023. We may, at our sole option, issue and sell to MS (subject to the satisfaction of

27

certain conditions) five-year senior unsecured notes with gross proceeds of up to $3.15 billion at any time between April 1, 2023 and June 29, 2023, to refinance the aforementioned notes.

Expected debt maturities for the remainder of 2022 are $1.6 billion and $5.7 billion for 2023. We continue to identify and evaluate further actions to enhance our liquidity and support our recovery. These include and are not limited to further reductions in capital expenditures, operating expenses and administrative costs, refinancing opportunities and additional financings.

2022 Outlook

The Company’s operations are still impacted by COVID-19. The adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our revenues, consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition has been and will continue to be material in 2022. We expect to incur a net loss in the second half of 2022 due to increases in fuel rates, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Based on current currency exchange rates, fuel rates and interest rates, the Group expects Adjusted Earnings Per Share for the third quarter of $0.05 - $0.25. See Recent Developments– Continued Fleet Ramp-Up and Update on Bookings for further indication on our resumption of operations and the booking environment.

Passenger ticket revenues comprised 64.9% of our 2022 total revenues. Passenger ticket revenues for 2022 increased by $1.4 billion from $22.8 million in 2021, and was partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates related to our revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar of $26.3 million.

The remaining 35.1% of 2022 total revenues was comprised of Onboard and other revenues, which increased $0.7 billion to $0.8 billion in 2022 from $28.1 million in 2021, and was partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates related to our revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar of $3.7 million.

The increase in revenues was due to the return of operations in 2022, in which the majority of our fleet was in service, compared to 2021, when the suspension of our global cruise operations was in effect. Occupancy in 2022 was 82.0% compared to 27.5% in 2021.

Onboard and other revenues included concession revenues of $80.6 million in 2022 and $1.7 million in 2021.

Cruise Operating Expenses

Total Cruise operating expenses for 2022 increased $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion from $424.8 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to:

•a $324.7 million increase in Commissions, transportation and other expenses;

•a $280.8 million increase in Other operating expenses;

•a $216.1 million increase in Fuel expense;

•a $159.5 million increase in Payroll and related;

• a $147.0 million increase in Onboard and other expenses; and

•a $138.0 million increase in Food expense

The increase in operating expenses noted above was driven by the return to operations in 2022, with the majority of our fleet in service compared to 2021, when the suspension of our global cruise operations was in effect. The 2022 operating expenses include the overhead costs associated with bringing our ships back to service and our crew back on board our ships. Additionally, as discussed above in Recent Developments, high inflation has impacted our operating costs, especially in fuel and food expense. Our cost of fuel (net of the financial impact of fuel swap agreements) for 2022 increased 66% per metric ton compared to 2021 mainly due to the increase in fuel price.

The increase in Cruise operating expenses was partially offset by the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our cruise operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar of $19.4 million.

Marketing, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses for 2022 increased $85.9 million, or 30.1%, to $371.4 million from $285.6 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to the ramp up of our global sales and marketing efforts starting in the second half of 2021 as we commenced our resumption of operations, partially offset by a decrease in payroll and benefits expense driven by lower stock price year over year related to our performance share awards.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses 

Depreciation and amortization expenses for 2022 increased $28.1 million, or 8.7%, to $351.5 million from $323.4 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to the addition of Wonder of the Seas to our fleet in January 2022, Celebrity Beyond in April 2022 and Silver Dawn in November 2021.

34

Impairment and Credit Losses (Recoveries)

Credit loss recoveries for 2022 was $10.9 million compared to Impairment and credit losses of $40.6 million in 2021. The credit loss recovery in 2022 primarily resulted from cash collections received on a notes receivable, in which credit losses were previously recorded. The loss in 2021 was primarily due to impairment charges of certain construction in progress projects that were reduced in scope or terminated as a result of COVID-19.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense, net of interest capitalized for 2022 decreased $2.1 million, or 0.7%, to $302.7 million from $304.8 million in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the lower cost of debt in 2022 attributable to the partial repayment of the 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 during the third quarter of 2021 and the decrease in interest expense associated with the adoption of ASU 2020-06, mostly offset by the interest associated with the new debt issuances after the first quarter of 2021 and through the first quarter of 2022. Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements for further information on ASU 2020-06.

Equity investment loss decreased by $34.9 million, or 72.6%, to $13.2 million from $48.1 million primarily due to a reduction in losses for TUI Cruises, one of our equity investments, in 2022 compared to 2021.

Other income decreased $18.1 million, or 73.7%, to $6.5 million from $24.5 million in 2021. The decrease in income was primarily due to the 2021 recognition of $15.1 million in net gains related to the change in fair value of our fuel swap derivative instruments with no hedge accounting, which did not recur in 2022.

Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Other comprehensive loss for 2022 was $56.6 million compared to Other comprehensive income of $44.9 million in 2021. The decrease in income of $101.5 million was primarily due to the Loss on cash flow derivative hedges in 2022 of $84.5 million compared to the Gain on cash flow derivative hedges in 2021 of $51.5 million, which was mostly due to the greater decrease in the fair value of our foreign currency forwards in 2022 compared to 2021.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

In this section, references to 2022 refer to the six months ended June 30, 2022 and references to 2021 refer to the six months ended June 30, 2021

Revenues

Total revenues for 2022 increased $3.2 billion to $3.2 billion from $92.9 million in 2021.

Passenger ticket revenues comprised 63.8% of our 2022 total revenues. Passenger ticket revenues for 2022 increased by $2.0 billion to $2.1 billion from $43.6 million in 2021, and was partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates related to our revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar of $28.3 million.

The remaining 36.2% of 2022 total revenues was comprised of Onboard and other revenues, which increased $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion in 2022 from $49.3 million in 2021, and was partially offset by unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates related to our revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar of $4.5 million.

The increase in revenues was due to the return of operations in 2022, in which the majority of our fleet was in service, compared to 2021, when the suspension of our global cruise operations was in effect. Occupancy in 2022 was 71.5% compared to 32.1% in 2021.

Onboard and other revenues included concession revenues of $128.9 million in 2022 and $2.4 million in 2021.

Cruise Operating Expenses

Total Cruise operating expenses for 2022 increased $2.2 billion to $2.9 billion from $708.3 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to:

•a $472.1 million increase in Commissions, transportation and other expenses;

•a $473.4 million increase in Other operating expenses;

•a $412.5 million increase in Payroll and related;

35

•a $362.7 million increase in Fuel expense;

•a $229.7 million increase in Food expense; and

•a $216.9 million increase in Onboard and other expenses.

The increase in operating expenses noted above was driven by the return to operations in 2022, with the majority of our fleet in service compared to 2021, when the suspension of our global cruise operations was in effect. The 2022 operating expenses include the overhead costs associated with bringing our ships back to service and our crew back on board our ships. Additionally, as discussed above in Recent Developments, high inflation has impacted our operating costs, especially in fuel and food expense. Our cost of fuel (net of the financial impact of fuel swap agreements) for 2022 increased 61% per metric ton compared to 2021 mainly due to the increase in fuel price.

The increase in Cruise operating expenses was partially offset by the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our cruise operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar of $24.2 million.

Marketing, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses for 2022 increased $221.9 million, or 40.8%, to $765.5 million from $543.6 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to the ramp up of our global sales and marketing efforts starting in the second half of 2021 as we commenced our resumption of operations, partially offset by a decrease in payroll and benefits expense driven by lower stock price year over year related to our performance share awards.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses 

Depreciation and amortization expenses for 2022 increased $57.4 million, or 9.1%, to $691.0 million from $633.6 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to the addition of Wonder of the Seas to our fleet in January 2022, Celebrity Beyond in April 2022 and depreciation for Odyssey of the Seas and Silver Dawn, which were delivered in March 2021 and November 2021, respectively.

Impairment and Credit Losses (Recoveries)

Credit loss recoveries for 2022 was $10.8 million compared to Impairment and credit losses of $40.2 million in 2021. The credit loss recovery in 2022 primarily resulted from cash collections received on a notes receivable, in which credit losses were previously recorded. The loss in 2021 was primarily due to impairment charges of certain construction in progress projects that were reduced in scope or terminated as a result of COVID-19.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense, net of interest capitalized for 2022 remained consistent compared to 2021. Increases in 2022 were primarily due to new debt issuances after the first quarter of 2021 and through the first quarter of 2022, mostly offset by the lower cost of debt in 2022 attributable to the partial repayment of the 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 during the third quarter of 2021 and the decrease in interest expense associated with the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements for further information on ASU 2020-06.

Equity investment loss decreased by $63.7 million, or 59.0%, to $44.2 million from $108.0 million primarily due to a reduction in losses for TUI Cruises, one of our equity investments, in 2022 compared to 2021.

Other income decreased $25.6 million, or 86.7%, to $3.9 million from $29.5 million in 2021. The decrease in income was primarily due to the 2021 recognition of $28.5 million in net gains related to the change in fair value of our fuel swap derivative instruments with no hedge accounting, which did not recur in 2022.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income for 2022 increased $84.2 million or 111.8%, to $159.6 million from $75.4 million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to a Gain on cash flow derivative hedges in 2022 of $111.4 million compared to $61.8 million in 2021, mostly resulting from the greater increase in the fair value of our fuel swaps in 2022 compared to 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

Net cash used by operating activities decreased $1.2 billion to cash used of $50.2 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to cash used of $1.3 billion for the same period in 2021. Our full resumption of cruise operations in 2022 has generated an increase in guest ticket and onboard collections, resulting in an increase in customer deposits of $1.0 billion during the first six months of 2022, compared to a smaller increase of $0.6 billion during the same period in 2021, when our global operations were suspended. The increase in customer deposits was partially offset by an increase in cruise operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the associated costs of returning our fleet to service.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $1.3 billion to cash used of $2.5 billion for the first six months of 2022, compared to cash used of $1.2 billion for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in capital expenditures of $1.0 billion during the first six months of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, an increase in cash paid on derivative financial instruments of $230.9 million and a decrease in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and other assets of $175.4 million during the first six months of 2022.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 billion for the first six months of 2022, compared to cash provided of $3.0 billion for the same period in 2021. The decrease of $1.0 billion was primarily attributable to $1.6 billion of proceeds from common stock issuances during the first six months of 2021, which did not recur during the same period in 2022, and higher repayments of debt of $0.5 billion during the first six month of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. These decreases were partially offset by higher debt proceeds of $0.7 billion during the first six month of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 and repayments of commercial paper notes of $414.6 million during the first six month of 2021, which did not recur in 2022.

Future Capital Commitments

Capital Expenditures

COVID-19 has impacted shipyard operations which resulted in delays of our previously contracted ship deliveries. As of June 30, 2022, the dates that the ships on order by our Global and Partner Brands are expected to be delivered, subject to change in the event of construction delays, and their approximate berths are as follows:

Ship	Shipyard	Expected Delivery Date	Approximate Berths
Royal Caribbean International —
Oasis-class:
Utopia of the Seas	Chantiers de l'Atlantique	2nd Quarter 2024	5,700
Icon-class:
Icon of the Seas	Meyer Turku Oy	3rd Quarter 2023	5,600
Unnamed	Meyer Turku Oy	2nd Quarter 2025	5,600
Unnamed	Meyer Turku Oy	2nd Quarter 2026	5,600
Celebrity Cruises —
Edge-class:
Celebrity Ascent	Chantiers de l'Atlantique	4th Quarter 2023	3,250
Silversea Cruises
Evolution Class:
Silver Nova	Meyer Werft	2nd Quarter 2023	730
Unnamed	Meyer Werft	2nd Quarter 2024	730
TUI Cruises (50% joint venture)
Mein Schiff 7	Meyer Turku Oy	2nd Quarter 2024	2,900
Unnamed	Fincantieri	4th Quarter 2024	4,100
Unnamed	Fincantieri	2nd Quarter 2026	4,100
Total Berths			38,310

In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we have an agreement in place with Chantiers de l’Atlantique to build an additional fifth Edge-class ship with capacity of approximately 3,250, estimated for delivery in 2025, which is contingent upon completion of conditions precedent and financing.

Our future capital commitments consist primarily of new ship orders. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate expected cost of our ships on order presented in the table above, excluding any ships on order by our Partner Brands, was $9.4 billion, of which we had deposited $0.6 billion. Approximately 61.7% of the aggregate cost was exposed to fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate at June 30, 2022.

The continuing effects of COVID-19, including uncertainties related to demand for cruising, has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material impact on our cash flows, liquidity and financial position. In order to preserve liquidity, we deferred a significant portion of our planned 2020, 2021 and 2022 capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2022, we anticipate overall full year capital expenditures, based on our existing ships on order, will be approximately $3.2 billion for 2022. This amount does not include any ships on order by our Partner Brands.

Material Cash Requirements

As of June 30, 2022, our material cash requirements were as follows (in thousands):

	Payments due by period
			Less than		1-3		3-5		More than
	Total		1 year		years		years		5 years
Operating Activities:
Interest on debt(1)	6,392,817		1,645,165		2,291,773		1,435,082		1,020,797
Investing Activities:	0
Ship purchase obligations(2)	7,112,097		768,521		5,149,769		1,193,807		—
Total	$	13,504,914	$	2,413,686	$	7,441,542	$	2,628,889	$	1,020,797

(1)      Long-term debt obligations mature at various dates through fiscal year 2036 and bear interest at fixed and variable rates. Interest on variable-rate debt is calculated based on forecasted debt balances, including the impact of interest rate swap agreements using the applicable rate at June 30, 2022. Debt denominated in other currencies is calculated based on the applicable exchange rate at June 30, 2022.

(2)    Amounts are based on contractual installment and delivery dates for our ships on order. Included in these figures are $5.6 billion in final contractual installments, which have committed financing. COVID-19 has impacted shipyard operations which have and may result in delays for our previously contracted ship deliveries. Amounts do not include potential obligations which remain subject to cancellation at our sole discretion or any agreements entered for ships on order that remain contingent upon completion of conditions precedent.

Refer to Note 7. Debt for maturities related to debt.

Refer to Note 8. Leases for maturities related to lease liabilities.

Refer to Funding Needs and Sources for discussion on the planned funding of the above material cash requirements.

As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, pricing and our overall growth strategy, we continuously consider opportunities to enter into contracts for the building of additional ships. We may also consider the sale of ships or the purchase of existing ships. We continuously consider potential acquisitions and strategic alliances. If any of these were to occur, they would be financed through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the issuance of additional shares of equity securities or through cash flows from operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Refer to Note 6. Other Assets for ownership restrictions related to TUI Cruises.

Refer to Note 7. Debt for surety and credit card processor agreements.

Refer to Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies for other agreements.

As of June 30, 2022, other than the items referenced above, we are not party to any other off-balance sheet arrangements, including guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interest, certain derivative instruments and variable interest entities, that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial position.

Funding Needs and Sources

Historically, we relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations, draw-downs under our available credit facilities, the incurrence of additional debt and/or the refinancing of our existing debt and the issuance of additional shares of equity securities to fund our obligations. COVID-19 resulted in our voluntary suspension of global cruise operations from March 2020 up to our full fleet returning to service during the second quarter of 2022. The suspension of operations strained our sources of cash flow and liquidity, causing us to take actions resulting in reductions in our operating expenses, reductions in our capital expenses and new financings and other liquidity actions. See further discussion on these liquidity actions at Recent Developments.

The Company continues to identify and evaluate further actions to improve its liquidity. These include and are not limited to, further reductions in capital expenditures, operating expenses and administrative costs and additional financings. Additionally, we will continue to pursue various opportunities to raise additional capital to fund obligations associated with future debt maturities and/or to extend the maturity dates associated with our existing indebtedness or facilities. Actions to raise

39

capital may include issuances of debt, convertible debt or equity in private or public transactions or entering into new or extended credit facilities.

We have significant contractual obligations of which our debt service obligations and the capital expenditures associated with our ship purchases represent our largest funding needs. As of June 30, 2022, we had $7.5 billion of committed financing for our ships on order.

As of June 30, 2022, our obligations due through June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of $5.5 billion related to debt maturities, $1.6 billion related to interest on debt and $0.8 billion related to progress payments on our ship orders and, based on the expected delivery date, the final installment payable due upon the delivery of Silver Nova.

As of June 30, 2022, we had liquidity of $3.3 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 billion, $0.5 billion of undrawn revolving credit facility capacity, and a $0.7 billion commitment for a 364-day term loan facility available to draw on at any time prior to August 12, 2022. Our revolving credit facilities were partially utilized through a combination of amounts drawn and letters of credit issued under the facilities as of June 30, 2022. We have agreed with certain of our lenders not to pay dividends or engage in stock repurchases. Refer to Note 10. Shareholders' Equity to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

During the next 12 months, in June of 2023, approximately $3.2 billion of long - term debt will become due. Accordingly, in addition to our $3.3 billion liquidity as of June 30, 2022, in February 2022 we entered into certain agreements with MS where MS agrees to provide backstop committed financing to refinance, repurchase and/or repay in whole or in part our existing and outstanding 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, the Priority Guaranteed Notes, and 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2023. Pursuant to the agreements, we may, at our sole option, issue and sell to MS (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) five-year senior unsecured notes with gross proceeds of up to $3.15 billion at any time between April 1, 2023 and June 29, 2023, to refinance the aforementioned notes.

If any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of our common stock or, subject to certain exceptions, during any 24-month period, a majority of our board of directors is no longer comprised of individuals who were members of our board of directors on the first day of such period, we may be obligated to prepay indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities, which we may be unable to replace on similar terms. Our public debt securities also contain change of control provisions that would be triggered by a third-party acquisition of greater than 50% of our common stock coupled with a ratings downgrade. If this were to occur, it would have an adverse impact on our liquidity and operations.

Based on our assumptions and estimates and our financial condition, we believe that the liquidity resulting from the actions mentioned above will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements over at least the next twelve months. However, there is no assurance that our assumptions and estimates are accurate due to possible unknown variables related to this unprecedented suspension and gradual ramp up of our operations and, as such, there is inherent uncertainty in our ability to predict future liquidity requirements. Refer to Note 1. General, Management’s Plan and Liquidity, to our consolidated financial statements under Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements for further information.

Debt Covenants

Both our export credit facilities and our non-export credit facilities contain covenants that require us, among other things, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25x and limit our net debt-to-capital ratio, and under certain facilities, to maintain a minimum level of shareholders' equity. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated by dividing net cash from operations for the past four quarters by the sum of dividend payments plus scheduled principal debt payments in excess of any new financings for the past four quarters. Our minimum net worth and maximum net debt-to-capital calculations exclude the impact of Accumulated other comprehensive loss on Total shareholders’ equity.

During the first quarter of 2021, we amended $4.9 billion of our non-export credit facilities and $6.3 billion of our export credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements, to extend the waiver of our financial covenants through and including at least the third quarter of 2022, and subsequently in the third quarter of 2021, we entered into a letter agreement to extend the waiver period for our export credit facilities to the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we amended $7.3 billion of outstanding export-credit facilities plus committed export-credit facilities to modify financial covenant levels for 2023 and 2024, following the waiver period through and including the fourth quarter of 2022.

In addition, pursuant to the amendments for the non-export credit facilities, we have modified the manner in which such covenants are calculated, temporarily in certain cases and permanently in others, as well as the levels at which our net debt to capitalization covenant will be tested during the period commencing immediately following the end of the waiver period and continuing through the end of 2023.

40

In July 2022, we further amended the financial covenant levels for 2023 and 2024 for our non-export credit facilities and export credit facilities plus committed export credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements, following the respective aforementioned waiver periods.

The combined amendments, including the July 2022 amendments, impose a monthly-tested minimum liquidity covenant of $350 million, which in the case of the non-export credit facilities terminates at the end of the waiver period and in the case of the export credit facilities terminates either in July 2025, or when we pay off all deferred amounts, whichever is earlier. In addition, the amendments to the non-export credit facilities place restrictions on paying cash dividends and effectuating share repurchases through the end of the third quarter of 2022, while the export credit facility amendments require us to prepay any deferred amounts if we elect to issue dividends or complete share repurchases. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with our financial covenants and we estimate that we will be in compliance for at least the next twelve months.

Any further covenant waivers may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections as may be agreed with our lenders. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional waivers in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms. If we require additional waivers and are not able to obtain them or repay the debt facilities, this would lead to an event of default and potential acceleration of amounts due under all of our outstanding debt and derivative contracts..

Dividends

During the second quarter of 2020, we agreed with certain of our lenders not to pay dividends or engage in common stock repurchases for so long as our debt covenant waivers are in effect. In addition, in the event we declare a dividend or engage in share repurchases, we will need to repay the amounts deferred under our export credit facilities. Accordingly, we did not declare a dividend during the nine consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2022. Pursuant to amendments made to these agreements during the first quarter of 2021, the restrictions on paying cash dividends and effectuating share repurchases were extended through and including the the third quarter of 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a discussion of our market risks, refer to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks since the date of our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")..

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As previously reported, two lawsuits were filed against us in August 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida ("the "Court") under Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, also known as the Helms-Burton Act. The complaint filed by Havana Docks Corporation ("Havana Docks Action") alleges it holds an interest in the Havana Cruise Port Terminal and the complaint filed by Javier Garcia-Bengochea (the "Port of Santiago Action") alleges that he holds an interest in the Port of Santiago, Cuba, both of which were expropriated by the Cuban government. The complaints further allege that we trafficked in those properties by embarking and disembarking passengers at these facilities. The plaintiffs seek all available statutory remedies, including the value of the expropriated property, plus interest, treble damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Court dismissed the Port of Santiago Action with prejudice on the basis that the plaintiff lacked standing, and the plaintiff’s appeal of the dismissal is awaiting a decision by the appellate court. In the Havana Docks Action, the Court granted summary judgement in favor of the plaintiff as to liability and a trial on damages has been scheduled for September 2022. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in both the Havana Docks Action and the Port of Santiago Action, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against them. The outcome of the litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the final outcome of either case will not be material.

We are also routinely involved in claims typical within the cruise vacation industry. The majority of these claims are covered by insurance. We believe the outcome of such claims, net of expected insurance recoveries, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations and cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historical results. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. There may be additional risks that we consider not to be material, or which are not known, and any of these risks could affect our operations. The ordering of the risk factors set forth below is not intended to reflect a risk's potential likelihood or magnitude. See Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements.

Macroeconomic, Business, Market and Operational Risks

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and liquidity. The global spread of COVID-19, the unprecedented responses by governments and other authorities to control and contain the disease, including related variants, and challenges to global vaccination efforts, have caused significant disruptions, created new risks, and exacerbated existing risks to our business.

We have been, and continue to be, negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts that resulted or may result from actions taken in response to the outbreak and the occurrence and spread of related variants. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, cruising advisories and required or voluntary travel restrictions. In addition, the extent, duration, and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on the economy and consumer demand for cruising and travel is evolving and difficult to predict. As such, the effects of COVID-19 may persist for an extended period of time or become more pronounced on our cruise operations.

While we have resumed our global cruise operations, following the March 2020 suspension of our global cruise operations, there is no assurance that our cruise operations will continue uninterrupted. It is possible that future COVID-19 cases could occur onboard and, even if controlled and contained, it is uncertain whether we will need to suspend additional sailings and to what extent in such event. Onboard cases have resulted in illness among our guests and crew, incremental costs, guest refunds and negative publicity and media attention. In addition, we may face challenges related to possible new and evolving operating protocols, including protocols in the countries in which we operate and plan to operate.

Uncertainties remain as to the specifics, timing, duration and costs of administering and implementing our health and safety measures, some of which may be significant. These measures also may negatively impact guest satisfaction. Based on our assessment of these requirements and recommendations, the status of COVID-19 infection and/or vaccination rates in the U.S. or globally or for other reasons, we may determine it necessary to cancel or modify certain of our Global Brands’ cruise sailings. The impact to our global bookings resulting from COVID-19 may continue to have a material negative impact on our results of operations and liquidity, which may be prolonged beyond containment of the disease and its variants.

Adverse worldwide economic or other conditions could reduce the demand for cruises and passenger spending, adversely impacting our operating results, cash flows and financial condition including impairing the value of our goodwill, ships, trademarks and other assets and potentially affecting other critical accounting estimates where the change may be material to our operating results.

In addition to health and safety concerns, demand for cruises is affected by international, national, and local economic conditions. Weak or uncertain economic conditions may impact consumer confidence and pose a risk as vacationers postpone or reduce discretionary spending. This, in turn, may result in cruise booking slowdowns, decreased cruise prices and lower onboard revenues. Given the global nature of our business, we are exposed to many different economies, and our business could be hurt by challenging conditions in any of our markets.

Our operating costs could increase due to market forces and economic or geopolitical factors beyond our control.

Our operating costs, including fuel, food, payroll and benefits, airfare, taxes, insurance, and security costs, can be and have been subject to increases due to market forces and economic or geopolitical conditions or other factors beyond our control, including global inflationary pressures, which have increased our operating costs. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have incurred increased operating costs and could continue to incur additional costs. Increases in these operating costs could adversely affect our future profitability.

Any further impairment of our goodwill, long-lived assets, equity investments and notes receivable could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. A challenging operating environment, conditions affecting consumer demand or spending, the deterioration of general macroeconomic conditions, or other factors could result in a change to the future cash flows we expect to derive from our operations. Reductions of cash flows used in the valuation analyses may result in the recording of impairments, which could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Price increases for commercial airline services for our guests or major changes or reduction in commercial airline services and/or availability could adversely impact the demand for cruises and undermine our ability to provide reasonably priced vacation packages to our guests.

Many of our guests depend on scheduled commercial airline services to transport them to or from the ports where our cruises embark or disembark. Increases in the price of airfare would increase the overall price of the cruise vacation to our guests, which may adversely impact demand for our cruises. In addition, changes in the availability and/or regulations governing commercial airline services could adversely affect our guests’ ability to obtain air travel, as well as our ability to transfer our guests to or from our cruise ships, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Terrorist attacks, war, and other similar events could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

We are susceptible to a wide range of adverse events, including terrorist attacks, war, conflicts, civil unrest and other hostilities, such as the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The occurrence of these events or an escalation in the frequency or severity of them, and the resulting political instability, travel restrictions and advisories and concerns over safety and security aspects of traveling or the fear of any of the foregoing, have had, and could have in the future, a significant adverse impact on demand and pricing in the travel and vacation industry. These events could also result in additional security measures taken by local authorities which have, and may in the future, impact access to ports and/or destinations. In addition, such events have led, and could lead, to disruptions, instability and volatility in global markets, supply chains and industries, increased operating costs, such as fuel and food, and disruptions affecting our newbuild construction and fleet modernization efforts, any of which could materially and adversely impact our business and results of operations. Further, such events could have the effect of heightening the other risks we have described in this report, any of which also could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Disease outbreaks and an increase in concern about the risk of illness could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Disease outbreaks and increased concern related to illness when traveling to, from, and on our ships could cause a drop in demand for cruises, guest cancellations, travel restrictions, an unavailability of ports and/or destinations, cruise cancellations, ship redeployments and an inability to source our crew, provisions or supplies from certain places. In addition, we may be subject to increased concerns that cruises are more susceptible than other vacation alternatives to the spread of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19. In response to disease outbreaks, our industry, including our passengers and crew, may be subject to enhanced health and safety requirements in the future which may be costly and take a significant amount of time to

43

implement across our fleet. For example, local governments may establish their own set of rules for self-quarantines and/or require proof of individuals health status or vaccination prior to or upon visiting. The impact of any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, our COVID-19 operating protocols and any other health protocols we may develop or that may be required by law in the future in response to infectious diseases may be costly to develop and implement and may be less effective than we expected in reducing the risk of infection and spread of such disease on our cruise ships, all of which will negatively impact our operations and expose us to reputational and legal risks.

Incidents on ships, at port facilities, land destinations and/or affecting the cruise vacation industry in general, and the associated negative media coverage and publicity, have affected and could continue to affect our reputation and impact our sales and results of operations.

Cruise ships, private destinations, port facilities and shore excursions operated and/or offered by us and third parties may be susceptible to the risk of accidents, illnesses, mechanical failures, environmental incidents and other incidents which could bring into question safety, health, security and vacation satisfaction and negatively impact our sales, operations and reputation. Incidents involving cruise ships, and, in particular the safety, health and security of guests and crew and the media coverage thereof, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, have impacted and could continue to impact demand for our cruises and pricing in the industry. In particular, we cannot predict the impact on our financial performance and the public’s concern regarding the health and safety of travel, especially by cruise ship, and related decreases in demand for travel and cruising. Moreover, our ability to attract and retain guests and crew depends, in part, upon the perception and reputation of our company and our brands and the public’s concerns regarding the health and safety of travel generally, as well as regarding the cruising industry and our ships specifically. Our reputation and our business could also be damaged by continued or additional negative publicity regarding the cruise industry in general, including publicity regarding the spread of contagious disease such as COVID-19, over-tourism in key ports and destinations and the potentially adverse environmental impacts of cruising. The considerable expansion in the use of social and digital media has compounded the potential scope and reach of any negative publicity. In addition, incidents involving cruise ships may result in additional costs to our business, increasing government or other regulatory oversight and, in certain cases, potential litigation.

Significant weather, climate events and/or natural disasters could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, volcanos, wildfires), weather and/or climate events (including hurricanes and typhoons) could impact our source markets and operations resulting in travel restrictions, guest cancellations, an inability to source our crew or our provisions and supplies from certain places. We are often forced to alter itineraries and occasionally cancel a cruise or a series of cruises or to redeploy our ships due to these types of events, which could have an adverse effect on our sales, operating costs and profitability in the current and future periods. Increases in the frequency, severity or duration of these types of events could exacerbate their impact and disrupt our operations or make certain destinations less desirable or unavailable impacting our revenues and profitability further. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and on industry performance.

Our sustainability activities, including environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters, could result in reputational risks, increased costs and other risks.

Customers, investors, lenders, regulators and other industry stakeholders have placed increasing importance on corporate ESG practices and on the implications and social cost of their investments, which could cause us to incur additional costs and changes to our operations. If our ESG practices or disclosures do not meet investor or industry stakeholders' evolving expectations and standards, our customer, employee and supply chain vendor retention, and our brands and reputation, may be negatively impacted, which could affect our business operations and financial condition. We could also incur additional costs and require additional resources to monitor, report and comply with various ESG practices, which could increase our operating costs and affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, from time to time, we communicate certain initiatives regarding climate change and other ESG matters. We could fail or be perceived to fail to achieve such initiatives, which may negatively affect our reputation. The future adoption of new technology or processes to achieve the initiatives could also result in the impairment of existing assets.

Our reliance on shipyards, their subcontractors and our suppliers to implement our newbuild and ship upgrade programs and to repair and maintain our ships exposes us to risks which could adversely impact our business.

We rely on shipyards, their subcontractors and our suppliers to effectively construct our new ships and to repair, maintain, and upgrade our existing ships on a timely basis and in a cost effective manner. There are a limited number of shipyards with the capability and capacity to build, repair, maintain and/or upgrade our ships. As such, any disruptions affecting the newbuild or fleet modernization supply chain will adversely impact our business as there are limited substitutes.

44

Suspensions and/or slowdowns of work at shipyards, has impacted and could continue to impact our ability to construct new ships when and as planned, our ability to timely and cost-effectively procure new capacity, and our ability to execute scheduled drydocks and/or fleet modernizations. For instance, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the shipyards, their subcontractors, and our suppliers have resulted in delays in our previously scheduled ship deliveries. Variations from our plan could have a significant negative impact on our business operations and financial condition.

Building, repairing, maintaining and/or upgrading a ship is sophisticated work that involves significant risks. Material increases in commodity and raw material prices, and other cost pressures impacting the construction of a new ship, such as the cost of labor and financing, could adversely impact the shipyard’s ability to build the ship on a cost-effective basis. We may be impacted if shipyards, their subcontractors, and/or our suppliers encounter financial difficulties, supply chain, technical or design problems when building or repairing a ship. If materialized, these problems could impact the timely delivery or cost of new ships or the ability of shipyards to repair and upgrade our fleet in accordance with our needs or expectations. In addition, delays, mechanical faults and/or unforeseen incidents may result in cancellation of cruises or delays of new ship orders or necessitate unscheduled drydocks. Such events could result in lost revenue, increased operating expenses, or both, and thus adversely affect our results of operations.

An increase in capacity worldwide or excess capacity in a particular market could adversely impact our cruise sales and/or pricing.

Although our ships can be redeployed, cruise sales and/or pricing may be impacted by the introduction of new ships into the marketplace, reductions in cruise capacity, overall market growth and deployment decisions of ourselves and our competitors. As of June 30, 2022, a total of 66 new ships with approximately 161,000 berths were on order for delivery through 2027 in the cruise industry, including 10 ships currently scheduled to be delivered to us. The further net growth in capacity from these new ships and future orders, without an increase in the cruise industry’s demand and/or share of the vacation market, could depress cruise prices and impede our ability to achieve yield improvement. Further, cruise prices and yield improvement could face additional pressure due to the pace at which we and other cruise line operators return to service.

In addition, to the extent that we or our competitors deploy ships to a particular itinerary/region and the resulting capacity in that region exceeds the demand, it may negatively affect our pricing and profitability. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, including potentially impairing the value of our ships and other assets

Unavailability of ports of call may adversely affect our results of operations.

We believe that port destinations are a major reason why guests choose to go on a particular cruise or on a cruise vacation. The availability of ports and destinations is affected by a number of factors, including industry demand and competition for key ports and destinations, existing capacity constraints, constraints related to the size of certain ships, security, financial limitations on port development, exclusivity arrangements that ports may have with our competitors, geopolitical developments, local governmental regulations and governmental response to disease outbreaks. Higher fuel costs also may adversely impact the destinations on certain of our itineraries as they become too costly to include.

In addition, certain ports and destinations have faced a surge of both cruise and non-cruise tourism which, in certain cases, has fueled anti-tourism sentiments and related countermeasures to limit the volume of tourists allowed in these destinations. In certain destinations, countermeasures to limit the volume of tourists have been contemplated and/or put into effect, including proposed limits on cruise ships and cruise passengers, which could limit the itinerary and destination options we can offer our passengers going forward.

Increased demand and competition for key ports of call or destinations, limitations on the availability or feasibility of use of specific ports of call and/or constraints on the availability of shore excursions and other service providers at such ports or destinations could adversely affect our operations and financial results.

We may lose business to competitors throughout the vacation market.

We operate in the vacation market and cruising is one of many alternatives for people choosing a vacation. We therefore risk losing business not only to other cruise lines, but also to other vacation operators, which provide other leisure options, including hotels, resorts, internet-based alternative lodging sites and package holidays and tours.

We face significant competition from other cruise lines on the basis of cruise pricing, travel advisor preference and also in terms of the nature of ships, services and destinations that we offer to guests. Our revenues are sensitive to the actions of other cruise lines in many areas including pricing, scheduling, capacity and promotions, which can have a substantial adverse impact not only on our revenues, but also on overall industry revenues.

45

In the event that we do not effectively market or differentiate our cruise brands from our competitors or otherwise compete effectively with other vacation alternatives and new or existing cruise companies, our results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to appropriately balance our cost management and capital allocation strategies with our goal of satisfying guest expectations, it may adversely impact our business success.

Our goals are to provide high quality products and deliver high quality services. There can be no assurance that we can successfully balance these goals with our cost management and capital allocation strategies. Our business also requires us to make capital allocation decisions across a broad scope of investment options with varying return profiles and time horizons for value realization. These include significant capital investment decisions such as ordering new ships, upgrading our existing fleet, enhancing our technology and/or data capabilities and expanding our portfolio of land-based assets, based on expected market preferences, competition and projected demand. There can be no assurance that our strategies will be successful, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, our ownership and operation of older tonnage, in particular during the business disruption caused by COVID-19, has resulted in impaired asset values due to expected returns less than the carrying value of the assets.

Our attempts to expand our business into new markets and new ventures may not be successful.

We opportunistically seek to grow our business through, among other things, expansion into new destinations or source markets and establishment of new ventures complementary to our current offerings. These attempts to expand our business increase the complexity of our business, require significant levels of investment and can strain our management, personnel, operations and systems. In addition, we have been unable to execute our attempts to expand our business as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as described elsewhere herein. There can be no assurance that these business expansion efforts will develop as anticipated or that we will succeed, and if we do not, we may be unable to recover our investment, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks associated with our development and operation of key land-based destination projects may adversely impact our business or results of operations.

We have invested, either directly or indirectly through joint ventures and partnerships, in a growing portfolio of key land-based projects including port and terminal facilities, private destinations and multi-brand destination projects. These investments can increase our exposure to certain key risks depending on the scope, location, and the ownership and management structure of these projects. These risks include susceptibility to weather events, exposure to local political/regulatory developments and policies, logistical challenges and human resource and labor risks and safety, environmental, and health risks, including challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects locally where we have these projects and relationships.

Our reliance on travel advisors to sell and market our cruises exposes us to certain risks which could adversely impact our business.

We rely on travel advisors to generate bookings for our ships. Accordingly, we must maintain competitive commission rates and incentive structures. If we fail to offer competitive compensation packages or fail to maintain our relationships, these agencies may be incentivized to sell cruises offered by our competitors, which could adversely impact our operating results. Our reliance on third-party sellers is particularly pronounced in certain markets. In addition, the travel advisor community is sensitive to economic conditions that impact discretionary income of consumers. Significant disruptions, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, or contractions in the industry could reduce the number of travel advisors available for us to market and sell our cruises, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the strength of our recovery from suspended operations could be delayed if we are not aligned and partnered with key travel advisors.

Business activities that involve our co-investments with third parties may subject us to additional risks.

Partnerships, joint ventures and other business structures involving our co-investments with third parties generally include some form of shared control over the operations of the business and create additional risks, including the possibility that other investors in such ventures become bankrupt or otherwise lack the financial resources to meet their obligations or could have or develop business interests, policies or objectives that are inconsistent with ours. In addition to financial risks, our co-investment activities have also presented managerial and operational risks and expose us to reputational or legal concerns. These or other issues related to our co-investments with third parties could adversely impact our operations or liquidity. Further, due to the arrangements we have in place with our partners in these ventures, we are limited in our ability to control the strategy of these ventures, or their use of capital and other key factors to their results of operation which could adversely affect our investments and impact our results of operations.

46

Past or pending business acquisitions or potential acquisitions that we may decide to pursue in the future carry inherent risks which could adversely impact our financial performance and condition.

The Company, from time to time, has engaged in acquisitions and may pursue acquisitions in the future, which are subject to, among other factors, the Company’s ability to identify attractive business opportunities and to negotiate favorable terms for such opportunities. Accordingly, the Company cannot make any assurances that potential acquisitions will be completed timely or at all, or that if completed, we would realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions. Acquisitions also carry inherent risks such as, among others: (i) the potential delay or failure of our efforts to successfully integrate business processes and realizing expected synergies; (ii) difficulty in aligning procedures, controls and/or policies; and (iii) future unknown liabilities and costs that may be associated with an acquisition. In addition, acquisitions may adversely impact our liquidity and/or debt levels, and the recognized value of goodwill and other intangible assets can be negatively affected by unforeseen events and/or circumstances, which may result in an impairment charge. Any of the foregoing events could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on supply chain vendors and third-party service providers who are integral to the operations of our businesses. These vendors and service providers may be unable or unwilling to deliver on their commitments or may act in ways that could harm our business.

We rely on supply chain vendors to deliver key products to the operations of our businesses around the world. Any event impacting a vendor’s ability to deliver goods of the expected quality at the location and time needed could negatively impact our ability to deliver our cruise experience. Events impacting our supply chain could be caused by factors beyond the control of our suppliers or us, including inclement weather, natural disasters, new laws and regulations, labor actions, increased demand, problems in production or distribution and/or disruptions in third-party logistics or transportation systems, including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such interruptions to our supply chain could increase our costs and could limit the availability of products critical to our operations.

In order to achieve cost and operational efficiencies, we outsource to third-party vendors certain services that are integral to the operations of our global businesses, such as our onboard concessionaires, certain of our call center operations, guest port services, logistics distribution and operation of a large part of our information technology systems. We are subject to the risk that certain decisions are subject to the control of our third-party service providers and that these decisions may adversely affect our activities. A failure to adequately monitor a third-party service provider’s compliance with a service level agreement or regulatory or legal requirements could result in significant economic and reputational harm to us. There is also a risk the confidentiality, privacy and/or security of data held by third parties or communicated over third-party networks or platforms could become compromised.

The potential unavailability of insurance coverage, an inability to obtain insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates or our failure to have coverage in sufficient amounts to cover our incurred losses may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

We seek to maintain appropriate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates. We normally obtain insurance based on the cost of an asset rather than replacement value, and we also elect to self-insure, co-insure, or use deductibles in certain circumstances for certain risks such as loss of use of a ship or other business interruption. The limits of insurance coverage we purchase are based on the availability of the coverage, evaluation of our risk profile and cost of coverage. We do not carry business interruption insurance and accordingly we have no insurance coverage for loss of revenues or earnings from our ships or other operations. Accordingly, we are not protected against all risks and cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred which could result in an unexpected decrease in our revenue and results of operations in the event of an incident

We are members of four Protection and Indemnity (“P&I”) clubs, which are part of a worldwide group of 13 P&I clubs, known as the International Group of P&I Clubs (the “IG”). P&I coverage provided by the clubs is on a mutual basis, and we are subject to additional premium calls in the event of a catastrophic loss incurred by any member of the 13 P&I clubs, whereby the reinsurance limits purchased by the IG are exhausted. We are also subject to additional premium calls based on investment and underwriting shortfalls experienced by our own individual insurers. Certain liabilities, costs, and expenses associated with COVID-19 cases identified on or traced to our vessels are eligible for insurance coverage under our participation in these P&I clubs

We cannot be certain that insurance and reinsurance coverage will be available to us and at commercially reasonable rates in the future or at all or, if available, that it will be sufficient to cover potential claims. Additionally, if we or other insureds sustain significant losses, the result may be higher insurance premiums, cancellation of coverage, or the inability to obtain coverage. Such events could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

47

Disruptions in our shoreside or shipboard operations or our information systems may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our principal executive office and principal shoreside operations are located in Florida, and we have shoreside offices throughout the world. Actual or threatened natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes/typhoons, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires or floods), municipal lockdowns, curfews, quarantines, or similar events in these locations may have a material impact on our business continuity, reputation and results of operations. In addition, substantial or repeated information system failures, computer viruses or cyber attacks impacting our shoreside or shipboard operations could adversely impact our business. We do not generally carry business interruption insurance for our shoreside or shipboard operations or our information systems. As such, any losses or damages incurred by us could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Liberian law could inhibit a change of control and may prevent efforts by our shareholders to change our management.

Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and Liberian law may inhibit third parties from effectuating a change of control of the Company without approval from our board of directors which could result in the entrenchment of current management. These include provisions in our Articles of Incorporation that prevent third parties, other than A. Wilhelmsen AS and Cruise Associates and their permitted transferees, from acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 4.9% of our outstanding shares without the consent of our board of directors.

Financial Risks

We may not be able to obtain sufficient financing or capital for our needs or may not be able to do so on terms that are acceptable or consistent with our expectations.

To fund our capital expenditures (including new ship orders), operations and scheduled debt payments, we have historically relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations, drawdowns under available credit facilities, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the sale of equity or debt securities in private or public securities markets. Any circumstance or event which leads to a decrease in consumer cruise spending, such as worsening global economic conditions or significant incidents impacting the cruise industry, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, negatively affects our operating cash flows. As result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting suspension of our operations, we have experienced credit rating downgrades, which have reduced our ability to incur secured indebtedness by reducing the amount of indebtedness that we are permitted to secure, and may negatively impact our access to, and cost of, debt financing. Additionally, our ability to raise additional financing, whether or not secured, could be limited if our credit rating is further downgraded, and/or if we fail to comply with applicable covenants governing our outstanding indebtedness, and/or if overall financial market conditions worsen.

Our ability to access additional funding as and when needed, our ability to timely refinance and/or replace our outstanding debt securities and credit facilities on acceptable terms and our cost of funding will depend upon numerous factors including, but not limited to, the strength of the financial markets, global inflationary pressures, interest rate fluctuations, our recovery and financial performance, the recovery and performance of our industry in general and the size, scope and timing of our financial needs. In addition, even where financing commitments have been secured, significant disruptions in the capital and credit markets could cause our banking and other counterparties to breach their contractual obligations to us or could cause the conditions to the availability of such funding not to be satisfied. This could include failures of banks or other financial service companies to fund required borrowings under our loan agreements or to pay us amounts that may become due or return collateral that is refundable under our derivative contracts for hedging of fuel prices, interest rates and foreign currencies or other agreements. If any of the foregoing occurs for a prolonged period of time it will have a long-term negative impact on our cash flows and our ability to meet our financial obligations.

Our substantial debt requires a significant amount of cash to service and could adversely affect our financial condition.

We have a substantial amount of debt and significant debt service obligations. As of June 30, 2022, we had total debt of $23.2 billion. Our substantial debt has required us to dedicate a large portion of our cash flow from operations to service debt and fund repayments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate expenses.

Our ability to make future scheduled payments on our debt service obligations or refinance our debt depends on our future operating and financial performance and ability to generate cash. This will be affected by our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors beyond our control, such as the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. If we cannot generate sufficient cash to meet our debt service obligations or fund our other business needs, we may, among other things, need to refinance all or a portion of our debt, obtain additional financing, delay planned capital expenditures or sell assets. We cannot assure that we will be able to generate sufficient cash

48

through any of the foregoing. If we are not able to refinance any of our debt, obtain additional financing or sell assets on commercially reasonable terms or at all, we may not be able to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt.

Our substantial debt could also result in other negative consequences for us. For example, it could increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions; limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industry in which we operate; place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; make us more vulnerable to downturns in our business, the economy or the industry in which we operate; limit our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital in the future to satisfy our requirements relating to working capital, capital expenditures, development projects, strategic initiatives or other purposes; restrict us from making strategic acquisitions, introducing new technologies or exploiting business opportunities; limit or restrict our ability to obtain and maintain performance bonds to cover our financial responsibility requirements in various jurisdictions for non-performance of guest travel, casualty and personal injury; make it difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt; and increase our exposure to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings are (and may in the future be) at a variable rate of interest.

Despite our leverage, we may incur more debt, which could adversely affect our business.

We may incur substantial additional debt in the future. Except for the restrictions under the indentures governing our Secured Notes, our Priority Guaranteed Notes, and certain of our other debt instruments, including our unsecured bank and export credit facilities, we are not restricted under the terms of our debt instruments from incurring additional debt. Although the indentures governing the Secured Notes, the Priority Guaranteed Notes, and certain of our other debt instruments, including our unsecured bank and export credit facilities, contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances the amount of debt that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. In the event that we execute and borrow under the $0.7 billion commitment available to draw on at any time prior to August 12, 2022 for a 364-day term loan facility, the credit agreement that would govern such term loan facility would impose substantially similar restrictions (including the related qualifications and exceptions) as are set forth in the indenture governing the Priority Guaranteed Notes. If new debt is added to our existing debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. Additionally, there is no guarantee that financing will be available in the future or that such financing will be available with similar terms or terms that are commercially acceptable to us. As of June 30, 2022, we have commitments for approximately $7.5 billion of debt to finance the purchase of 7 ships on order by our Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises brands, all of which are guaranteed by the export credit agencies in the countries in which the ships are being built. The ultimate size of each facility will depend on the final contract price (including change orders and owner’s supply) as well as fluctuations in the EUR/USD exchange rate.

We are subject to restrictive debt covenants that may limit our ability to finance our future operations and capital needs and to pursue business opportunities and activities. In addition, if we fail to comply with any of these restrictions, it could have a material adverse effect on us.

Certain of our debt instruments, including our indentures and our unsecured bank and export credit facilities, limit our flexibility in operating our business. For example, certain of our loan agreements and indentures restrict or limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase capital stock and make other restricted payments; make investments; consummate certain asset sales; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; grant or assume certain liens; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, both our export credit facilities and our non-export credit facilities contain covenants that will, once our current waivers expire, require us, among other things, to maintain a specified minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and limit our net debt-to-capital ratio. In addition, our ECA facilities also require us to maintain minimum liquidity and a minimum stock holders' equity. Refer to Note 7. Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements for further discussion on our covenants and existing waivers.

All of these limitations are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. Despite these exceptions and qualifications, we cannot assure you that the operating and financial restrictions and covenants in certain of our debt instruments will not adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest. Any future indebtedness may include similar or other restrictive terms and we may be required to further encumber our assets. In addition, our ability to comply with these covenants and restrictions may be affected by events beyond our control. These include prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. If we breach any of these covenants or restrictions, we could be in default under such indebtedness and certain of our other debt instruments, and the relevant debt holders or lenders could elect to declare the debt, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, if any, immediately due and payable and proceed against any collateral securing that debt. If the debt under certain of our debt instruments that we enter into were to be accelerated, our liquid assets may be insufficient to repay in full such indebtedness. Borrowings under other debt instruments that contain cross-default provisions also may be accelerated or become payable on

49

demand. In these circumstances, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness and our other indebtedness then outstanding.

In addition, our ability to maintain our credit facilities may also be impacted by changes in our ownership base. More specifically, we may be required to prepay our non-ECA and ECA facilities if any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of our common stock or, subject to certain exceptions, during any 24-month period, a majority of our board of directors is no longer comprised of individuals who were members of our board of directors on the first day of such period. Our debt securities also contain change of control provisions that would be triggered by a third-party acquisition of greater than 50% of our common stock coupled with a ratings downgrade, which would require us to offer to repurchase our debt securities in the event of such change of control.

If we elect to settle conversions of our convertible notes in shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, conversions of our convertible notes will result in dilution for our existing shareholders. Furthermore, new equity or convertible debt issuances will also result in dilution for our existing shareholders.

We have an aggregate principal amount of $1.725 billion in convertible notes outstanding. If note holders elect to convert, the notes will be converted into our shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of common stock and cash, at our discretion. Prior to March 15 and August 15, 2023, our convertible notes issued in June 2020 and October 2020, respectively, will be convertible at the option of holders during certain periods only upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Beyond those dates, the convertible notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date. Conversions of our convertible notes into shares of our common stock or a combination of common stock and cash, will result in dilution to our shareholders. Additionally, if we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our shareholders could experience dilution of their ownership interest, and these equity or convertible debt securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges that are superior to that of holders of our common stock.

We did not declare quarterly dividends on our common stock in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

No cash dividends were declared on our common stock during the nine consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2022. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and recovery. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. In addition, in the event we thereafter declare a dividend, we will need to repay our amounts deferred under the export credit facilities. Payment of dividends would, in any case, depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant.

Increased regulatory oversight, and the phasing out of LIBOR may adversely affect the value of a portion of our indebtedness.

The publication of certain LIBOR settings ceased after December 31, 2021, and uncertainty regarding alternative reference rates remains as many market participants await a wider adoption of replacement products prior to the cessation of the remaining USD LIBOR tenors (currently scheduled for June 30, 2023). When LIBOR ceases to exist, the level of interest payments on the portion of our indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates might be affected if we, the agent, and/or the lenders holding a majority of the outstanding loans or commitments under such indebtedness fail to amend such indebtedness to implement a replacement rate. Regardless, such replacement rate will give due consideration to any evolving or then-existing conventions for similar credit facilities, which may result in different than expected interest payments.

Compliance and Regulatory Risks

Changes in U.S. or other countries’ foreign travel policy have affected, and may continue to affect our results of operations.

Changes in U.S. foreign policy have in the past and could in the future result in the imposition of travel restrictions or travel bans on U.S. persons to certain countries or result in the imposition of travel advisories, warnings, rules, regulations or legislation exposing us to penalties or claims of monetary damages. In addition, some countries have adopted restrictions against U.S. travelers, and we currently cannot predict when those restrictions will be eased. The timing and scope of these changes and regulations can be unpredictable, and they could cause us to cancel scheduled sailings, possibly on short notice, or could result in litigation against us. This, in turn, could decrease our revenue, increase our operating costs and otherwise impair our profitability.

Environmental, labor, health and safety, financial responsibility and other maritime regulations and measures could affect operations and increase operating costs.

50

The U.S. and various state and foreign government or regulatory agencies have enacted or may enact environmental regulations or policies, such as requiring the use of low sulfur fuels (e.g., IMO 2020), that could increase our direct cost to operate in certain markets, increase our cost of fuel, limit the supply of compliant fuel, cause us to incur significant expenses to purchase and/or develop new equipment and adversely impact the cruise vacation industry. While we have taken and expect to continue to take a number of actions to mitigate the potential impact of certain of these regulations, there can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful over the long term.

There is increasing global regulatory focus on climate change, greenhouse gas and other emissions. These regulatory efforts, both internationally and in the U.S., are still developing, and we cannot yet determine what the final regulatory programs or their impact will be. However, such climate change-related regulatory activity in the future may adversely affect our business and financial results by requiring us to reduce our emissions, purchase allowances or otherwise pay for our emissions and may increase our exposure, if any, to climate change-related litigation. Such activity may also impact us by increasing our operating costs, including fuel costs.

In addition, we are subject to various international, national, state and local laws, regulations and treaties that govern, among other things, discharge from our ships, safety standards applicable to our ships, treatment of disabled persons, health and sanitary standards applicable to our guests, security standards on board our ships and at the ship/port interface areas, and financial responsibilities to our guests. These issues are, and we believe will continue to be, an area of focus by the relevant authorities throughout the world. This could result in the enactment of more stringent regulation of cruise ships that could subject us to increasing compliance costs in the future and may increase our exposure, if any, to environmental-related litigation.

Some environmental groups also have generated negative publicity about the environmental impact of the cruise vacation industry and are advocating for more stringent regulation of ship emissions at berth and at sea. Growing environmental scrutiny of the cruise industry and any related measures could adversely impact our operations and financial results and subject us to reputational impacts and costs.

A change in our tax status under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or other jurisdictions, may have adverse effects on our results of operations.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and a number of our subsidiaries are foreign corporations that derive income from a U.S. trade or business and/or from sources within the U.S. In connection with the year end audit, each year, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, our U.S. tax counsel, delivers to us an opinion, based on certain representations and assumptions set forth in it, to the effect that this income, to the extent derived from or incidental to the international operation of a ship or ships, is excluded from gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code. We believe that most of our income (including that of our subsidiaries) is derived from or incidental to the international operation of ships.

Our ability to rely on Section 883 could be challenged or could change in the future. Provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, including Section 883, are subject to legislative change at any time. Moreover, changes could occur in the future with respect to the identity, residence or holdings of our direct or indirect shareholders, trading volume or trading frequency of our shares, or relevant foreign tax laws of Liberia or the Bahamas, such that they no longer qualify as equivalent exemption jurisdictions, that could affect our eligibility for the Section 883 exemption. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be exempt from U.S. income tax on U.S. source shipping income in the future. If we were not entitled to the benefit of Section 883, we and our subsidiaries would be subject to U.S. taxation on a portion of the income derived from or incidental to the international operation of our ships, which would reduce our net income.

Additionally, portions of our business are operated by companies that are within the United Kingdom tonnage tax regime. Further, some of our operations are conducted in jurisdictions where we rely on tax treaties to provide exemption from taxation. To the extent the United Kingdom tonnage tax laws change or we do not continue to meet the applicable qualification requirements or if tax treaties are changed or revoked, we may be required to pay higher income tax in these jurisdictions, adversely impacting our results of operations.

As budgetary constraints continue to adversely impact the jurisdictions in which we operate, increases in income tax regulations, tax audits or tax reform affecting our operations may be imposed.

We are not a U.S. corporation and, as a result, our shareholders may be subject to the uncertainties of a foreign legal system in protecting their interests.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and by the Business Corporation Act of Liberia. The provisions of the Business Corporation Act of Liberia resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the U.S. However, there are very few judicial cases in Liberia interpreting the Business Corporation Act of Liberia. While the Business Corporation Act of Liberia provides that it is to be applied and construed to make the laws of Liberia, with

51

respect of the subject matter of the Business Corporation Act of Liberia, uniform with the laws of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions (and adopts their case law to the extent it is non-conflicting), there have been few Liberian court cases interpreting the Business Corporation Act of Liberia, and we cannot predict whether Liberian courts would reach the same conclusions as United States courts. We understand that legislation has been proposed but not yet adopted by the Liberian legislature which amends the provisions regarding the adoption of non-Liberian law to, among other things, provide for the adoption of the statutory and case law of Delaware and not also states with substantially similar legislative provisions, and potentially provide the courts of Liberia discretion in application of non-statutory corporation law of Delaware in cases when the laws of Liberia are silent. The right of shareholders to bring a derivative action in Liberian courts may be more limited than in U.S. jurisdictions. There may also be practical difficulties for shareholders attempting to bring suit in Liberia, and Liberian courts may or may not recognize and enforce foreign judgments. Thus, our shareholders may have more difficulty challenging actions taken by management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction.

General Risk Factors

Conducting business globally results in increased costs and other risks.

We operate our business globally, which exposes us to a number of risks, including increased exposure to a wider range of regional and local economic conditions, volatile local political conditions, potential changes in duties and taxes, including changing and/or uncertain interpretations of existing tax laws and regulations, required compliance with additional laws and policies affecting cruising, vacation or maritime businesses or governing the operations of foreign-based companies, currency fluctuations, interest rate movements, difficulties in operating under local business environments, port quality and availability in certain regions, U.S. and global anti-bribery laws and regulations, imposition of trade barriers and restrictions on repatriation of earnings.

Our future growth strategies increasingly depend on the growth and sustained profitability of international markets. Factors that will be critical to our success in these markets include our ability to continue to raise awareness of our products and our ability to adapt our offerings to best suit rapidly evolving consumer demands. The execution of our planned growth strategies is dependent on meeting the governmental and regulatory measures and policies in each of these markets. Our ability to realize our future growth strategy is highly dependent on our ability to satisfy country-specific policies and requirements in order to return to service, as well as meet the needs of region-specific consumer preferences as services come back online. These factors may cause us to reevaluate some of our international business strategies.

Operating globally also exposes us to numerous and sometimes conflicting legal, regulatory and tax requirements. In many parts of the world, including countries in which we operate, practices in the local business communities might not conform to international business standards. We cannot guarantee consistent interpretation, application, and enforcement of newly issued rules and regulations, which could place limits on our operations or increase our costs, as well as negatively impact our future growth strategies in our key growth markets. We must adhere to policies designed to promote legal and regulatory compliance as well as applicable laws and regulations. However, we might not be successful in ensuring that our employees, agents, representatives and other third parties with whom we associate properly adhere to applicable laws and regulations. In addition, we may be exposed to the risk of penalties and other liabilities if we fail to comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Failure by us, our employees or any of these third parties to adhere to our policies or applicable laws or regulations could result in penalties, sanctions, damage to our reputation and related costs, which in turn could negatively affect our results of operations and cash flows.

As a global operator, our business also may be impacted by changes in U.S. policy or priorities in areas such as trade, immigration and/or environmental or labor regulations, among others. Depending on the nature and scope of any such changes, they could impact our domestic and international business operations. Any such changes, and any international response to them, could potentially introduce new barriers to passenger or crew travel and/or cross border transactions, impact our guest experience and/or increase our operating costs.

If we are unable to address these risks adequately, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected, including impairing the value of our ships and other assets.

The terms of our existing debt financing gives, and any future preferred equity or debt financing may give, holders of any preferred securities or debt securities rights that are senior to rights of our common shareholders.

The holders of our existing debt have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock in the event of liquidation. If we incur additional debt or raise equity through the issuance of preferred stock or convertible securities, the terms of the debt or the preferred stock issued may give the holders rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock, particularly in the event of liquidation. If we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity, the ownership percentage of our existing shareholders would be diluted.

52

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, fuel prices and interest rates could affect our financial results.

We are exposed to market risk attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, fuel prices and interest rates. Significant changes in any of the foregoing could have a material impact on our financial results, net of the impact of our hedging activities and natural offsets. Our operating results have been and will continue to be impacted, often significantly, by changes in each of these factors

A portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable rates that are linked to changing market interest rates. As a result, an increase in market interest rates would increase our interest expense and our debt service obligations. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $6.8 billion of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. This amount represented approximately 28.7% of our total indebtedness. As of June 30, 2022, a hypothetical 1% increase in prevailing interest rates would increase our forecasted 2022 interest expense by approximately $28.4 million.

Additionally, the value of our earnings in foreign currencies is adversely impacted by a strong U.S. dollar. In addition, any significant increase in fuel prices could materially and adversely affect our business as fuel prices impact not only our fuel costs, but also some of our other expenses, such as crew travel, freight, and commodity prices. Mandatory fuel restrictions may also create uncertainty related to the price and availability of certain fuel types potentially impacting operating costs and the value of our related hedging instruments.

The loss of key personnel, our inability to recruit or retain qualified personnel, or disruptions among our shipboard personnel could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our success depends, in large part, on the skills and contributions of key executives and other employees and on our ability to recruit, develop and retain high quality personnel as well as having adequate succession plans and back-up operating plans for when critical executives are unable to serve. As demand for qualified personnel in the industry grows, we must continue to effectively recruit, train, motivate and retain our employees, both shoreside and on our ships, in order to effectively compete in our industry, maintain our current business and support our projected global growth.

We are experiencing difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel primarily due to a competitive labor market. Our ability to rehire crew may be negatively impacted by increasing demands related to our health and safety protocols, including vaccine requirements, and by a reduced labor supply as previous crew may have obtained alternative employment during our suspension of cruise operations. A prolonged shortage of qualified personnel and/or increased turnover could decrease our ability to operate our business in an optimal manner. The shortage and competitive labor market may result in increased costs if we need to hire temporary personnel, and/or increased wages and/or benefits in order to attract and retain employees, all of which may negatively impact our results of operations.

As of June 30, 2022, approximately 88% of our shipboard employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. A dispute under our collective bargaining agreements could result in a work stoppage of those employees covered by the agreements. We may not be able to satisfactorily renegotiate these collective bargaining agreements when they expire. In addition, existing collective bargaining agreements may not prevent a strike or work stoppage on our ships. We may also be subject to or affected by work stoppages unrelated to our business or collective bargaining agreements. Any such work stoppages or potential work stoppages could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, as could a loss of key employees, our inability to recruit or retain qualified personnel or disruptions among our personnel.

If we are unable to keep pace with developments in technology, including technology in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations or competitive position could become impaired.

Our business continues to demand the use of sophisticated technology and systems. These technologies and systems require significant investment and must be proven, refined, updated, upgraded and/or replaced with more advanced systems in order to continue to meet our customers’ demands and expectations. If we are unable to do so in a timely manner or within reasonable cost parameters or if we are unable to appropriately and timely train our employees to operate any of these new systems, our business could suffer. We also may not achieve the benefits that we anticipate from any new technology or system, which could result in higher than anticipated costs or impair our operating results.

In response to COVID-19, we have relied on technology to assist with mitigating the risk of COVID-19 for our passengers and crew. For example, we have deployed our patented eMuster technology across our fleet in an effort to minimize congregate settings onboard. Additionally, on certain vessels we have deployed our patented contact tracing technology in an effort to quickly identify close contacts of cases onboard. As this technology continues to develop we may be faced with technical constraints or development decisions. We may be unable to obtain appropriate technology in a timely manner or at all or we may incur significant costs in doing so. A failure to adopt the appropriate technology, or a failure or obsolescence in the technology that we do adopt, could adversely affect our results of operations.

53

We are exposed to cyber security attacks and data breaches and the risks and costs associated with protecting our systems and maintaining data integrity and security.

We are subject to cyber security attacks. These cyber attacks can vary in scope and intent from attacks with the objective of compromising our systems, networks, and communications for economic gain or with the objective of disrupting, disabling or otherwise compromising our maritime and/or shoreside operations. The attacks can encompass a wide range of methods and intent, including phishing attacks, illegitimate requests for payment, theft of intellectual property, theft of confidential or non-public information, installation of malware, installation of ransomware and theft of personal or business information. The frequency and sophistication of, and methods used to conduct, these attacks, have increased over time.

A successful cyber security attack may target us directly, or it may be the result of a third party’s inadequate care, or resulting from vulnerabilities in licensed software. In either scenario, the Company may suffer damage to its systems and data that could interrupt our operations, adversely impact our brand reputation, and expose us to increased risks of governmental investigation, litigation, fines, and other liability, any of which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, responding to such an attack and mitigating the risk of future attacks could result in additional operating and capital costs in technology, personnel, monitoring and other investments.

We are also subject to various risks associated with the collection, handling, storage, and transmission of sensitive information. In the regular course of business, we collect employee, customer, and other third-party data, including personally identifiable information and individual payment data, for various business purposes. Although we have policies and procedures in place to safeguard such sensitive information, this information has been and could be subject to cyber security attacks and the aforementioned risks. In addition, we are subject to federal, state, and international laws relating to the collection, use, retention, security and transfer of personally identifiable information and individual payment data. Those laws include, among others, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and regulations of the New York State Department of Financial Services and similar state agencies that impose additional cyber security requirements as a result of our provision of certain insurance products. Complying with these and other applicable laws has caused, and may cause, us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices, and our failure to do so may expose us to substantial fines, penalties, restrictions, litigation, or other expenses and adversely affect our business. Further, any changes to laws or regulations, including new restrictions or requirements applicable to our business, or an increase in enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could expose us to additional costs and liability and could limit our use and disclosure of such information.

While we continue to evolve our cyber security practices in line with our business’ reliance on technology and the changing external threat landscape, and we invest time, effort and financial resources to secure our systems, networks and communications, our security measures cannot provide absolute assurance that we will be successful in preventing or defending from all cyber security attacks impacting our operation. There can be no assurance that any breach or incident will not have a material impact on our operations and financial results.

Any breach, theft, loss, or fraudulent use of guest, employee, third-party or company data, could adversely impact our reputation and brand and our ability to retain or attract new customers, and expose us to risks of data loss, business disruption, governmental investigation, litigation and other liability, any of which could adversely affect our business. Significant capital investments and other expenditures could be required to remedy the problem and prevent future breaches, including costs associated with additional security technologies, personnel, experts and credit monitoring services for those whose data has been breached. Further, if we or our vendors experience significant data security breaches or fail to detect and appropriately respond to significant data security breaches, we could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation.

Litigation, enforcement actions, fines or penalties could adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations and/or damage our reputation.

Our business is subject to various U.S. and international laws and regulations that could lead to enforcement actions, fines, civil or criminal penalties or the assertion of litigation claims and damages. In addition, improper conduct by our employees, agents or joint venture partners could damage our reputation and/or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines. In certain circumstances it may not be economical to defend against such matters and/or our legal strategy may not ultimately result in us prevailing in a matter. Such events could lead to an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, increases in litigation pertaining to the COVID-19 crisis, including potential claims for non-refundable cash deposits. We cannot predict the quantum or outcome of any such proceedings and the impact that they will have on our financial results, but any such impact may be material. While some of these claims are covered by insurance, we cannot be certain that all of them will be, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Share Repurchases

There were no repurchases of common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. In connection with our debt covenant waivers, we agreed with our lenders not to engage in stock repurchases for so long as our debt covenant waivers are in effect.

(c)    It is agreed that any partial deficiency in the fulfilment of the Hermes Documentary Requirements relating to a part of the German Construction Contract Component shall not affect the validity of the Hermes Insurance Policy in relation to the remaining German Construction Contract Component and shall not affect the Borrower's right to draw such portion of the Hermes Commitment Amount upon the terms of this Agreement in relation to all those elements of the German Construction Contract Component for which the Hermes Documentary Requirements have been met.

(d)    In the circumstances set forth in this Section 2.4 only, the Finnvera Balancing Commitment Amount (including any amount specified in Section 2.4(b)) shall be available to the Borrower under the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.6. Funding

Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfil its obligation to make or continue its portion of the Loan hereunder by causing a branch or Affiliate (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) other than that indicated next to its signature to this Agreement or, as the case may be, in the relevant Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, to make or maintain such portion of the Loan; provided that such portion of the Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such portion of the Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had the Lender not caused such branch or Affiliate (or international banking facility) to make or maintain such portion of the Loan.

SECTION 3.1. Repayments and prepayment consequent upon reduction in Contract Price

(a)    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the Borrower shall repay the Loan in 24 equal semi-annual instalments, with the first instalment to fall due on the date falling six (6) months after the Disbursement Date and the final instalment to fall due on the date of Final Maturity.

Any such partial prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis across each of the FEC Loan, the Hermes Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan provided that the Borrower may direct how such pro rata prepayment shall be applied between the FEC Tranche A Loan and the FEC Tranche B Loan and provided that such pro rata application across the Loan shall not result in the Hermes Loan being less than 5% of the amount of the Loan.

(c)    No amount repaid or prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.1 may be re-borrowed under the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.2. Prepayment

SECTION 3.2.1. Voluntary Prepayment

The Borrower:

(iii)    any voluntary prepayment shall not result in the Hermes Loan being less than 5% of the amount of the Loan at any time.

SECTION 3.2.2. Illegality

(a)    If, by reason of a Change in Law, it becomes unlawful under any applicable law (i) for a Lender to be subject to a commitment to make available to the Borrower such Lender's portion of the FEC Loan, Hermes Loan and/or Finnvera Balancing Loan, (ii) for a Lender to make or hold its portion of the FEC Loan, Hermes Loan and/or Finnvera Balancing Loan in its Lending Office, (iii) for a Lender to receive a payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) for a Lender to comply with any other material provision of, or to perform its obligations as contemplated by, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Lender affected by such Change in Law may give written notice (the "Illegality Notice") to the Borrower and the Facility Agent of such Change in Law, including reasonable details of the relevant Change of Law and specifying which, if not all, of its Commitment (the "Affected Commitment") and portion of the Loan (the "Affected Loan") is affected by such Change in Law. Any Illegality Notice must be given by a Lender no later than 120 days after such Lender first obtains actual knowledge or written notice of the relevant Change in Law.

(b)    If an affected Lender delivers an Illegality Notice prior to the Disbursement Date, then, subject to Section 11.20, (1) while the arrangements contemplated by the following clause (2) have not yet been completed and the Affected Commitment of such Lender has not been formally cancelled, such Lender shall not be obliged to fund its Affected Commitment and (2) the Borrower shall be entitled at any time within 50 days after receipt of such Illegality Notice to replace such Lender with another Lender hereunder or one or more other financial institutions (I) reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent and (II) acceptable to each of Finnvera (in respect of the FEC Loan and, if applicable the Finnvera Balancing Loan) and/or Hermes (in

respect of the Hermes Loan) (as applicable); provided that any such assignment or transfer shall be either (x) in the case of a single assignment or transfer, an assignment or transfer of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Commitment or (y) in the case of more than one assignment or transfer, an assignment or transfer of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or transfer or other such assignments or transfers that collectively cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Commitment. If, at the end of such 50-day period, the Borrower has not so replaced such affected Lender as aforesaid and no alternative arrangements have been implemented pursuant to Section 11.20, the Affected Commitment held by such Lender shall be cancelled.

(c)    Subject to Proviso (a) in Section 9.2, if an affected Lender delivers an Illegality Notice on or following the Disbursement Date, then the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable at any time within 50 days after receipt of such Illegality Notice (the "Option Period"), either (1) to prepay the portion of the Affected Loan held by such Lender in full on or before the expiry of the Option Period, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such prepayment, or (2) to replace such Lender on or before the expiry of the Option Period with another Lender hereunder or one or more other financial institutions (I) reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent and (II) acceptable to Finnvera (in respect of the FEC Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan) and/or Hermes (in respect of the Hermes Loan) (as applicable); provided that (x) in the case of a single assignment or transfer, any such assignment or transfer shall be either an assignment or transfer of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Loan or, in the case of more than one assignment or transfer, an assignment or transfer of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or transfer or other such assignments or transfers that collectively cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Loan and (y) no Lender shall be obliged to make any such assignment or transfer as a result of an election by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.2.2(c) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from one or more Assignee Lenders, Transferee Lenders and/or the Borrower in an aggregate amount at least equal to the portion of the Affected Loan held by such Lender, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such assignment or transfer (and all other amounts then owing to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Loan).

SECTION 3.2.3. Prepayment requirements

(i)    on the FEC Tranche A Loan at the Fixed Rate;

(ii)    on the FEC Tranche B Loan, Hermes Loan and the Finnvera Balancing Loan, at the applicable Floating Rate,

subject to any conversion of the FEC Tranche A Loan to a Floating Rate Loan in accordance with Section 3.3.3 in which case interest shall accrue on the FEC Tranche A Loan at the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate with effect from the date set forth in Section 3.3.3(b) or Section 3.3.3(c), as applicable. Interest calculated at the Fixed Rate, the relevant Floating Rate or the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Repayment Date. The Floating Rate Loan shall bear interest for each Interest Period, from and including the first day of such Interest Period up to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period, at the interest rate determined as applicable to the Floating Rate Loan for such Interest Period. All interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of 360 days.

(b)    In relation to interest accruing on the FEC Loan it is agreed that interest shall accrue at the rates specified in Section 3.3.1(a) above and that a portion of the interest which has accrued at a rate equal to 0.05% per annum shall be paid to the Facility Agent for the account of each of the FEC Margin Lenders and the remainder of such interest shall be paid to the Facility Agent for the account of FEC.

SECTION 3.3.2. Conversion to FEC Tranche A Floating Rate

The Borrower shall only be obliged to make any indemnity or compensation payment to any Lender in connection with any conversion of the FEC Tranche A Loan from the Fixed Rate to the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate following an FEC Conversion pursuant to Section 3.3.3 and in the circumstances set out in Section 3.3.3(b) and (c) below.

SECTION 3.3.3. FEC Conversion

(a)    The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that, at any time when the FEC Tranche A Loan is payable at the Fixed Rate, FEC will have the right to effect an FEC Conversion with respect to the FEC Tranche A Loan (if it has been advanced) or the FEC Commitment relating to the FEC Tranche A Loan (if the FEC Tranche A Loan has not been advanced) if:

(i)    the funds made available under the Loan have been used for a purpose other than pursuant to Section 2.5(d);

(iv)    a Transferring Lender or the Facility Agent is, in connection with the export transaction pursuant to the Construction Contract or the Loan, found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been engaged prior to the Disbursement Date in any act that constitutes corrupt activity within the meaning described in clause 12 of the FEC Supplemental Assignment Agreement, or if otherwise the same is proven without controversy.

(b)    In the event that FEC is entitled under the terms of clause 13.1.1 of the FEC Supplemental Assignment Agreement to effect an FEC Conversion, it shall notify the Borrower through the Facility Agent and advise of the date on which the Fixed Rate will terminate and the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate will apply (the "FEC Conversion Notice") and the Borrower and FEC shall agree the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin which is to apply for purposes of determining the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate in accordance with the procedure set out in a separate side letter between the Borrower and FEC. Any margin agreed shall constitute the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin to apply to the FEC Tranche A Loan effective on and from the date specified in the Conversion Notice.

(c)    If the Borrower and FEC are unable to agree upon the alternative margin to apply for purposes of determining the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate as provided in Section 3.3.3(b), FEC shall set the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin and FEC shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower and the Facility Agent (the "FEC Conversion Floating Rate Certificate") setting forth such rate (including margin) as soon as reasonably practicable, which FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin shall be effective on and from the date specified in the Conversion Notice.

(d)     If an FEC Conversion occurs due to occurrence of the events or circumstances specified in Section 3.3.3(a)(ii), the Borrower shall indemnify FEC in its capacity as Fixed Rate Provider for (x) any Break Costs incurred because of the change of the interest rate and regardless of whether any FEC Commitment is cancelled or any portion of the FEC Tranche A Loan is prepaid in connection with such change of interest and (y) the Interest Subsidy Amount Repayable.

(e)    If an FEC Conversion occurs due to the occurrence of the events or circumstances specified in Section 3.3.3(a)(i), (iii) or (iv), then, unless such events or circumstances are directly attributable to a breach by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, the Facility Agent or Transferring Lender or Transferring Lenders who provided such incorrect information or engaged in such corrupt activity shall (A) indemnify FEC in its capacity as Fixed Rate Provider for (x) any Break Costs incurred because of the change of the interest rate and regardless of whether any FEC Commitment is cancelled or any portion of the FEC Tranche A Loan is

        Page 51

prepaid in connection with such change of interest and, except when Section 3.3.3(a)(iv) is applicable, (y) the Interest Subsidy Amount Repayable and (B) indemnify the Borrower no later than three (3) Business Days following the end of each Interest Period for any increase in the amount of interest which the Borrower has paid to the Facility Agent for such Interest Period in respect of the FEC Tranche A Loan as a result of the conversion from the Fixed Rate to the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate.

(f)    If an FEC Conversion occurs due to the occurrence of the events or circumstances specified in Section 3.3.3(a)(i), (iii) or (iv) which are directly attributable to a breach by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall indemnify FEC in its capacity as Fixed Rate Provider for (x) any Break Costs incurred because of the change of the interest rate and regardless of whether any FEC Commitment is cancelled or any portion of the FEC Tranche A Loan is prepaid in connection with such change of interest and (y) the Interest Subsidy Amount Repayable.

(g)    In the case of the indemnity under paragraph (d) or (f), the Facility Agent shall provide the Borrower with a certificate prepared by FEC to show, in sufficient detail, the method and basis of the computation of such Break Costs and Interest Subsidy Amount Repayable.

The Facility Agent shall obtain from each Reference Bank timely information for the purpose of determining the LIBO Rate in the event that no relevant rate as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the definition of "LIBO Rate" is available and the LIBO Rate is to be the Reference Bank Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall fail to furnish in a timely manner such information to the Facility Agent for the Reference Bank Rate, the Facility Agent shall determine the Reference Bank Rate on the basis of the information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. If the Borrower elects to add an additional Reference Bank hereunder or a Reference Bank ceases for any reason to be able and willing to act as such, the Facility Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders and after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, appoint a replacement for such Reference Bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and such replaced Reference Bank shall cease to be a Reference Bank hereunder.

ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful

If after the Effective Date 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 its portion of (i) the FEC Tranche A Loan in the event it is accruing interest at the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate (ii) the FEC Tranche B Loan (iii) the Hermes Loan and/or (iv) if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan based on the LIBO Rate, the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or maintain its portion of such (i) FEC Tranche A Loan (ii) FEC Tranche B Loan (iii) Hermes Loan and/or (iv) the Finnvera Balancing Loan bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Facility 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 its portion of such FEC Tranche A Loan, FEC Tranche B Loan, Hermes Loan and/or Finnvera Balancing Loan hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain its portion of such (i) FEC Tranche A Loan (ii) FEC Tranche B Loan (iii) Hermes Loan and/or (iv) Finnvera Balancing Loan bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower that is the equivalent of the sum of the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period plus the applicable Floating Rate Margin (in relation to the FEC Tranche B Loan, the Hermes Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan or the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin (in relation to the FEC Tranche A Loan where following an FEC Conversion this is subject to the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate).

SECTION 4.2. Screen Rate or Deposits Unavailable

If, in relation to the Floating Rate Loan, the Facility Agent shall have determined that:

(a)    the Screen Rate shall cease to be available as a publicly available benchmark rate; or

        Page 54

(b)    Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to each Reference Bank in its relevant market; or

(c)    by reason of circumstances affecting the Reference Banks' relevant markets, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate loans for the relevant Interest Period,

then the Facility Agent shall give notice of such determination (hereinafter called a "Determination Notice") to the Borrower and each of the Lenders holding a portion of the Floating Rate Loan. The Borrower, those Lenders and the Facility Agent shall then negotiate in good faith in order to agree upon, in the case of Section 4.2(a), the alternative benchmark rate to be substituted for the Screen Rate (hereinafter called the "Alternative Screen Rate") which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement and, in the case of Section 4.2(b) and 4.2(c), a mutually satisfactory interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement. If the Borrower, those Lenders and the Facility Agent are unable to agree upon the Alternative Screen Rate or an interest rate (or rates) and interest period (or interest periods) (as the case may be) prior to the date occurring fifteen (15) Business Days after the giving of such Determination Notice, the Facility Agent shall (after consultation with those Lenders) (as the case may be) set an Alternative Screen Rate or interest rate and an interest period (or interest periods) in each case to take effect at the end of the Interest Period current at the date of the Determination Notice, which Alternative Screen Rate or rate (or rates), as applicable, shall be equal to the sum of the applicable Floating Rate Margin or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin and the Federal Funds Rate.

In the event that the circumstances described in Section 4.2(b) and Section 4.2(c) shall extend beyond the end of an interest period agreed or set pursuant hereto, the foregoing procedure shall be repeated as often as may be necessary.

SECTION 4.3. Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc.

If after the Effective Date 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 Borrower, or if compliance by any Lender with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or other authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the date hereof, shall:

(a)    subject any Lender to any taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature with respect to its portion of the Loan or any part thereof imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than (i) taxes as to which such Lender is indemnified under Section 4.6 and (ii) taxes excluded from the indemnity set forth in Section 4.6); or

(b)    change the basis of taxation to any Lender (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income of any Lender) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve or capital adequacy requirements (other than the increased capital costs described in Section 4.5)

        Page 55

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 portion of the Loan or any part thereof,

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (i) to increase the cost to such Lender of making its portion of the Loan or maintaining its portion of the Loan 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) such Lender shall (through the Facility Agent) notify the Borrower 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 Borrower shall forthwith upon such demand pay to the Facility 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 unless such additional costs are attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a party to this Agreement or are otherwise excluded from the indemnity set forth in Section 4.6 or Section 11.4. 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 such 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 organisation 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 Borrower 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 Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; providedfurther 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 Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such cost or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor.

(a)    if at the time interest is calculated at the Floating Rate or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate on such Lender's portion of the Loan, any conversion or repayment or prepayment or acceleration of the principal amount of such Lender's portion of the Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of an Interest Period or otherwise scheduled date for repayment or payment (in each case, including any payments as a result of an FEC Reassignment made in accordance with Section 9.1.10(A) where the Borrower is liable to pay Break Costs under Section 9.1.10(A)(b)), but excluding any prepayment made following an election by the Borrower to effect a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.2.2(c), or any repayment pursuant to Section 9.1.11, by reason of a Non-Borrower Related Change in Law);

(b)    if at the time interest is calculated at the Fixed Rate on such Lender's portion of the Loan, any repayment or prepayment or acceleration of the principal amount of such Lender's portion of the Loan, other than any repayment made on the date scheduled for such repayment (in each case, including any payments whatsoever as a result of an FEC Conversion or an FEC Reassignment where the Borrower is liable to pay Break Costs under Section 3.3.3(d) or Section 3.3.3(f) in the case of an FEC Conversion and Section 9.1.10(A)(b) in the case of an FEC Reassignment) excluding any repayment pursuant to Section 9.1.11, by reason of a Non-Borrower Related Change in Law);

(c)    a voluntary reduction of the FEC Tranche A Commitment below EUR1,018,794,290;

(d)    the Loan not being advanced in accordance with the Loan Request therefor due to the fault of the Borrower or as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article V not being satisfied;

(e)    any prepayment of the Loan by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.12 or Section 9.2; or

(f)    the FEC Tranche A Loan not being advanced on or before the Commitment Termination Date,

(each, a "Funding Losses Event"), then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such notice:

a.    if at that time interest is calculated at the Floating Rate or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate on such Lender's portion of the Loan, pay directly to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender an amount (the "Floating Rate Indemnity Amount") equal to the amount, if any, by which:

(i)    interest calculated at the Floating Rate or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate which such Lender would have received on its share of the amount of the Loan

        Page 57

subject to such Funding Losses Event for the period from the date of receipt of any part of its share in the Loan to the last day of the applicable Interest Period,

exceeds:

(ii)    the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in the appropriate interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; or

b.    if at that time the Fixed Rate is applied to the FEC Tranche A Commitment or the FEC Tranche A Loan (as applicable), pay to the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of FEC, in its capacity as the Fixed Rate Provider) for the account of FEC, in its capacity as the Fixed Rate Provider, the amount (if any) in Dollars determined by FEC, as Fixed Rate Provider, by which:

(i)    the sum of the present value, discounted at the Reinvestment Rate, of each principal payment and interest payment which the FEC Lender would have received on its share of any amount of the FEC Tranche A Commitment that is cancelled or any outstanding amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan that is prepaid for the period from the date of cancellation or from the date of receipt of the prepayment of the principal amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan by the FEC Lender, until the date of Final Maturity (assuming for these purposes that interest would have accrued during the relevant period on a loan ("Deemed Loan") made on the date of cancellation or receipt of the principal amount prepaid in an amount equal to the FEC Tranche A Commitment so cancelled or the principal amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan so prepaid and where such Deemed Loan is repaid in proportional repayment instalments on each of the subsequent Repayment Dates),

exceeds:

(ii)    the cancelled amount of the FEC Tranche A Commitment or the principal amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan prepaid plus accrued interest paid thereon since the previous interest payment date.

(B)    Where a Defaulting Finance Party is liable to pay Break Costs to the Facility Agent for the account of FEC acting in its capacity as Fixed Rate Provider pursuant to Section 3.3.3(e) or Section 9.1.10(A)(c) such Break Costs shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.4.1(A)b.

SECTION 4.5. Increased Capital Costs

If after the Effective Date 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) of any

        Page 58

court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority (a) results in an increase of 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 Commitment or its portion of the Loan 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 or (b) a Finance Party suffers a reduction of any amount payable under a Loan Document then, in each such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender or Finance Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or Finance Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person or Finance Party for such reduction in rate of return. Any such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy 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 or Finance Party'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 or Finance Party does business. In determining such amount, such Lender or Finance Party may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, deem applicable. Each Lender or Finance Party 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 or Finance Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Finance Party. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Finance Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Finance Party's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Finance Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or Finance Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender's or Finance Party's intention to claim compensation therefor; providedfurther 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 or Finance Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender's or Finance Party's intention to claim compensation therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 4.5 in respect of (i) taxes to which a Finance Party is indemnified under Section 4.6 or (ii) taxes excluded from the indemnity set forth in Section 4.6.

SECTION 4.6. Taxes

All payments by any Obligor of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document, including for the avoidance of doubt under any Fee Letter, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding with respect to each Lender (i) franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by such Lender's net income or receipts of such Lender and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes or taxes on receipts, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organised or any political subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction of such Lender's Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or any

        Page 59

other jurisdiction unless such net income taxes are imposed solely as a result of the applicable Obligor's activities in such other jurisdiction, and (ii) any taxes imposed under FATCA (such non-excluded items being called "Covered Taxes"). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by an Obligor under any Loan Document is required in respect of any Covered Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

(a)    pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(b)    promptly forward to the Facility Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Facility Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c)    pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Facility Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received or paid by the Facility Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Facility Agent or such Lender may pay such Covered Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted.

Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office 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, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

If the Borrower fails to pay any Covered Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Facility Agent for the account of the respective Lenders the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental withholding Covered Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure (so long as such amount did not become payable as a result of the failure of such Lender to provide timely notice to the Borrower of the assertion of a liability related to the payment of Covered Taxes). For purposes of this Section 4.6, a distribution hereunder by the Facility Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

If any Lender is entitled to any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in tax by reason of any payment made by the Borrower in respect of any Covered Tax under this Section 4.6 or by reason of any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.3, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund, credit, deduction or other reduction and, promptly after receipt thereof, will pay to the Borrower such amount (plus any interest received by such Lender in connection with such refund, credit, deduction or reduction) as is equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender of such part of such refund, credit, deduction or reduction as such Lender reasonably determines is

        Page 60

allocable to such Covered Tax or such payment (less out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender), provided that no Lender shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

Each Lender agrees with the Borrower and the Facility Agent that it will (i) (a) provide to the Facility Agent and the Borrower an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying the status of such Lender as a US person, IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Lender are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming the benefits of a tax treaty (but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding), or any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any assignee or transferee Lender, Lender that changes its Lending Office, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment, transfer or change), in each case attached to an IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), if appropriate, (b) notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower if the certifications made on any form provided pursuant to this paragraph are no longer accurate and true in all material respects and (c) provide such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, if any, or as otherwise reasonably requested, to demonstrate, to the extent applicable, the status of such Lender or that payments to such Lender hereunder are exempt from withholding under FATCA, and (ii) in all cases, provide such forms, certificates or other documents, as and when reasonably requested by the Borrower, necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, Covered Taxes, a FATCA Deduction or any payments made to or for benefit of such Lender, provided that the Lender is legally able to deliver such forms, certificates or other documents. For any period with respect to which a Lender (or assignee or transferee Lender) has failed to provide the Borrower with the foregoing forms (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided (which, in the case of an Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender, would be the date on which the original assignor or transferor was required to provide such form) or if such form otherwise is not required hereunder) such Lender (or assignee or transferee Lender) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.6 or Section 11.4 with respect to Covered Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

SECTION 4.7. [Intentionally left blank]

SECTION 4.8. Payments, Computations, etc.

(a)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments by an Obligor in respect of amounts of principal, interest and fees or any other applicable amounts owing to the Lenders under any Loan Document shall be made by such Obligor to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payments and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts then due and payable to the Lenders. All such payments required to be made to the Facility Agent shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System (or such other funds as may be customary for the settlement of international banking transactions in Dollars), to such account as the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day.

        Page 61

(b)    The Facility Agent shall promptly (but in any event on the same Business Day that the same are received or, as contemplated in clause (a) of this Section, deemed received) remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by paragraph (a) of the definition of the term "Interest Period") be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

SECTION 4.9. Replacement Lenders, etc.

If the Borrower shall be required to make any payment to any Lender pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.5 or 4.6, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time (so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing) within 180 days after receipt of notice from such Lender of such required payment to (a) terminate such Lender's Commitment (whereupon the Percentage of each other Lender in respect of each Commitment shall automatically be adjusted to an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share of the remaining amount of such Commitment), (b) prepay the affected portion of such Lender's share of the Loan in full, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such prepayment (provided that the Borrower shall not terminate any Lender's Commitment pursuant to clause (a) or prepay any such Lender pursuant to this clause (b) unless the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall have attempted in good faith over a period of 30 days to replace such Lender pursuant to the following clause (c)), and/or (c) except in the case of FEC in relation to the FEC Loan, replace such Lender with one or more financial institutions (I) reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent in its capacity as Hermes Agent, (II) acceptable to Hermes in the case of a Hermes Lender and (III) acceptable to Finnvera in the case of an FEC Lender or a Finnvera Balancing Lender; provided that (x) in the case of a single assignment or transfer, any such assignment or transfer shall be either an assignment or transfer of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement or, in the case of more than one assignment or transfer, an assignment or transfer of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or transfer or other such assignments or transfers that collectively cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement and (y) no Lender shall be obliged to make any such assignment or transfer pursuant to this Section 4.9 unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from one or more Assignee Lenders, Transferee Lenders and/or the Borrower in an aggregate amount at least equal to the portion of the Loan held by such Lender, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such assignment or transfer (and all other amounts then owing to such Lender under this Agreement). Each Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, with respect to any Lender not a party hereto on the date hereof, 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 Section 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6 to or for account of such Lender.

        Page 62

SECTION 4.10. Sharing of Payments

SECTION 4.10.1. Payments to Lenders

If a Lender (a "Recovering Lender") receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Section 4.8 (Payments, Computations, etc.) (a "Recovered Amount") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Loan Documents then:

(a)    the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Facility Agent;

(b)    the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Lender would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with the said Section 4.8, without taking account of any taxes which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c)    the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.10.2. Redistribution of payments

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Lenders (other than the Recovering Lender) (the "Sharing Lenders") in accordance with Section 4.8 of this Agreement towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Lenders.

SECTION 4.10.3. Recovering Lender's rights

On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Section 4.10.2 of a payment received by a Recovering Lender from the relevant Obligor, solely as between that Obligor and the Recovering Lender, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the relevant Obligor.

SECTION 4.10.4. Reversal of redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Lender becomes repayable to the Obligor and is repaid by that Recovering Lender to the Obligor, then:

(a)    each Sharing Lender shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Recovering Lender an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Lender for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Lender is required to pay) (the "Redistributed Amount"); and

        Page 63

(b)    solely as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Lender, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the relevant Obligor.

SECTION 4.10.5. Exceptions

(a)    This Section 4.10 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Lender would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Section 4.10, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

(b)    A Recovering Lender is not obliged to share with any other Lender any amount which the Recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

i.    it notified the other Lender of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

ii.    the other Lender had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

SECTION 4.11. Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Prepayment Event, each Lender shall have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due and owing to it any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of any Obligor then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.10. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Obligor and the Facility Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 4.12. Use of Proceeds

The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.5(c) and (d) and, in relation to the Disbursement Date, prior to such application, such proceeds shall be held in an account or accounts of the Facility Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5(b) and (c) or in an account or accounts that the Borrower shall have specified in its Loan Request in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5(b); without limiting the foregoing, no proceeds of the Loan will directly or indirectly be used to lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or any other Person, (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such finding is a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loan, whether as advisor, lender, facility or other agent or otherwise) or (iii) to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any "margin stock", as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U. If the proceeds of the Loan have not been paid either (A) to the Builder or its order in accordance with Section 2.5(d)(i) and to, Finnvera, Hermes and the Borrower in accordance with Section

        Page 64

2.5(d)(ii) or 2.5(d)(iii) or (B) to the Facility Agent (directly or indirectly) in prepayment of the Loan under Section 3.2.1(a) or by 9:59 p.m. (London time) on the second Business Day after the Disbursement Date, such proceeds shall continue to be pledged by the Borrower upon receipt in accordance with Section 2.5(c) as collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement pending the Actual Delivery Date. If, within 30 days of the Disbursement Date, the Borrower notifies the Facility Agent that the Actual Delivery Date is expected to be materially delayed, the Facility Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders shall discuss in good faith (but without obligation) for a period of 30 days to agree whether the Loan can be repaid and reborrowed and the terms that would apply to any such re-borrowing. In the event that no agreement is reached and the delivery of the Vessel does not occur on or before 4 June 2024, the proceeds in the Pledged Accounts shall be applied as a prepayment against the Loan in accordance with Section 9.2.

SECTION 4.13. FATCA Deduction

(a) Each party to the Agreement may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party to the Agreement shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(b)    Each party to the Agreement shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the other party to the Agreement to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent, and the Facility Agent shall notify the other parties to the Agreement.

SECTION 4.14. FATCA Information

(a)    Subject to paragraph (c) below, each party (other than the Borrower) shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another party (other than the Borrower):

(i)    confirm to that other party whether it is:

(A)    a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B)    not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii)    supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party's compliance with FATCA;

(iii)    supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(b)    If a party confirms to another party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify that other party reasonably promptly.

        Page 65

(c)    Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Lender or the Facility Agent to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i)    any law or regulation;

(ii)    any fiduciary duty; or

(iii)    any duty of confidentiality.

(d)    If a party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Loan Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(e)     If the Borrower becomes a US Tax Obligor or the Facility Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

(i)    where the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, the date of this Agreement;

(ii)    where the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor on a date an assignment or transfer is made pursuant to Section 11.11.1 and the relevant Lender is an Assignee Lender or a Transferee Lender that becomes a Lender in accordance with Section 11.11.1, the date on which such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender becomes a Lender;

(iii)    the date of a request from the Facility Agent,

supply to the Facility Agent:

(A)    a withholding certificate on Form W-8 (or any successor form), Form W-9 (or any successor form) or any other relevant form; or

(B)    any withholding statement or other document, authorisation or waiver as the Facility Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation.

(f)    The Facility Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above to the Borrower.

(g)    If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Facility Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or

        Page 66

waiver to the Facility Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent). The Facility Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrower.

(h)    The Facility Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) or (g) above without further verification. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraph (e), (f) or (g) above.

SECTION 4.15. Resignation of the Facility Agent

The Facility Agent shall resign (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Facility Agent) if:

(a)    the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Section 4.14 and the Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(b)    the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 4.14 indicates that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(c)    the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have cease]d to be) a FATCA Exempt Party,

and (in each case) the Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that a party to this Agreement will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Borrower or that Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign, provided that any such resignation (i) shall be subject to the restrictions in the FEC Supplemental Assignment Agreement and (ii) shall not become effective until a successor Facility Agent has been appointed as provided in Section 10.5, such successor Facility Agent has accepted such appointment and the consent of each of Hermes and the Finnish Authority has been obtained for the resignation.

(b)    the Borrower shall promptly upon written request, supply the Facility Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Finnvera Agent with information (in a form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent, Hermes Agent and Finnvera Agent) regarding the status of the amendments to be entered into in accordance with paragraph (a) above;

(c)    to enable the Borrower to comply with the requirements under paragraph (d) below, prior to any Group Member entering into any Restricted Credit Enhancement with a Pari Passu Creditor (other than a Restricted Credit Enhancement granted in accordance with Section 7.2.9(a)(ii)), the Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent (and such notification shall include details of the new Lien or Group Member Guarantee and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent); and

(d)    at the same time as any relevant Restricted Credit Enhancement is provided to the relevant Pari Passu Creditor (other than a Restricted Credit Enhancement granted in accordance with Section 7.2.9(a)(ii)), the Borrower, any other relevant Group Member and the Lenders shall enter into such documentation as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent to ensure that the Lenders benefit from that Restricted Credit Enhancement on the same terms as the relevant Pari Passu Creditor(s) and, where that Restricted Credit Enhancement is a Lien or a Group Member Guarantee, to share in that Lien or Group Member Guarantee on a pari passu basis (and the Lenders agree to enter into such intercreditor documentation to reflect such pari passu ranking (in a form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders (acting reasonably)) as may be required in connection with such arrangements).

Any changes which may need to be made under such shipbuilding contracts on or after April 1, 2020 shall be negotiated by the Borrower in good faith and on a best efforts basis so that the Borrower shall not unreasonably, unduly or without prior consultation with the Builder, delay or postpone the payment of pre-delivery instalments or the delivery of passenger cruise ships, in each case, under such shipbuilding contracts and the Borrower shall work together with the Builder to resolve any crisis-related vessel construction delays. Without prejudice to such requirement of the Borrower to negotiate in good faith and on a best efforts basis, this Section 7.1.10 shall be subject to any amendment to any such shipbuilding contract, option agreement, contract or other related document if such amendment has, in consultation with the Hermes Agent (acting on the instructions of Hermes) or the Finnvera Agent (acting on the instructions of Finnvera) (as the case may be), been agreed between the Borrower or, as the case may be, relevant Subsidiary and the Builder.

        Page 88

immediately prior to acquisition) acquired by any First Priority Guarantor after the effectiveness of Amendment Number Two; or

(C)    if the net proceeds therefrom are applied in accordance with Section 4.09(b)(i) or 4.09(b)(iii) of the Secured Note Indenture, to the extent applicable at such time; provided, however, that if, within 450 days of such Disposition, any net proceeds of such Disposition have not been utilized in accordance with such provisions and are retained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary after such application (such retained net proceeds, "Excess Proceeds"), then:

If any ECA Guarantor fails to accept such offer within the said 90 days referred to

        Page 89

above, then the pro rata portion of such Excess Proceeds that would have been applied to prepay the ECA Financings with respect to such ECA Guarantor if such offer was accepted shall be retained and applied in accordance with the foregoing sub-clause (1)(i).

(x)    $250,000,000 plus

(y)    the fair market value of any asset (other than (1) current assets, intercompany debt or equity instruments and (2) Second Priority Assets or other assets owned by another Second Priority Guarantor immediately prior to acquisition) acquired by any Second Priority Guarantor after the effectiveness of Amendment Number Two.

SECTION 9.1.13. Principles and Framework.

The Borrower shall default in the due performance and observance of the Principles and/or the Framework (it being agreed that if there is inconsistency between the terms of the Principles and the Framework, the Framework shall prevail) and, if capable of remedy such default shall continue unremedied for a period of ten (10) days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Facility Agent; provided that, if the default does not otherwise constitute a Default or a Prepayment Event under another Section of this Agreement, as amended to date, the Borrower, the Facility Agent, Hermes and/or Finnvera shall negotiate a resolution in good faith for a maximum period of fifteen (15) days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Facility Agent.

SECTION 9.2. Mandatory Prepayment

If any Prepayment Event shall occur and be continuing (and subject, in the case of Section 9.1.10 (C), to Section 11.20 and subject also in the case of Sections 9.1.12 and 9.1.13, to sub-paragraph (d) below), the Facility Agent, upon the direction of the Majority Lenders, shall by notice to the Borrower either (i) if the Disbursement Date has occurred and the Loan disbursed require the Borrower to prepay in full on the date stipulated in such notice or, in the case of a notice served on the Borrower in respect of a Prepayment Event under Section 9.1.11, within 15 Business Days, all principal of and interest on the Loan and all other Obligations (and, in such event, the Borrower agrees to so pay the full unpaid amount of the Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations) or (ii) if the Disbursement Date has not occurred, terminate the Commitments; provided that:

(a)     if such Prepayment Event arises under Section 9.1.11, the remedy available under this Section 9.2 shall be limited to that provided in clause (i) above and only with respect to the portion of the Loan held by the affected Lender that gave the relevant Illegality Notice (the "Affected

14

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

Lender") unless the Affected Lender is a Hermes Lender and any such prepayment of that Hermes Lender's portion of the Loan would result in the Hermes Loan being less than 5% of the Loan outstanding at any time in which event the Borrower shall prepay that portion of the Loan required in order to ensure the Hermes Loan is not less than 5% of the aggregate Loans together with interest and all other Obligations as provided by clause (i) above;

(b)     if the Prepayment Event arises under Section 9.1.10(A) or (B), the Borrower shall (i) prepay the FEC Loan together with interest and all other Obligations or the FEC Commitment shall be cancelled (as the case may be) in respect of any termination of the Finnvera Guarantee or any FEC Reassignment resulting therefrom and/or (ii) in the case of Section 9.1.10(B) only and if applicable, prepay the Finnvera Balancing Loan together with interest and all other Obligations or the Finnvera Balancing Commitment shall be cancelled (as the case may be) in respect of any termination of the Second Finnvera Guarantee;

(c)     if the Prepayment Event arises under Section 9.1.10(C) and no alternative arrangements have been agreed during the Mitigation Period under and in accordance with Section 11.20, the Borrower shall prepay the Loan together with interest and all other Obligations or the total Commitments shall be cancelled (as the case may be) as provided above in clause (i) above; and

(d)    if such Prepayment Event arises under Section 9.1.12 or Section 9.1.13 such prepayment event shall not give rise to an entitlement on the part of the Lenders to require that the Loan is prepaid or to the cancellation of the Commitments (if not theretofore cancelled) but instead, where a notice is given by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Section 9.2 following the occurrence of a Prepayment Event under either Section 9.1.12 or Section 9.1.13, the waiver of Section 7.2.4 contained in Section 9.1.4 shall immediately cease such that any breach of Section 7.2.4 in existence as at the date of the notice from the Facility Agent referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 9.2 or any breach occurring at any time after such notice shall constitute a Prepayment Event with all attendant consequences.

SECTION 9.3. Mitigation.

If the Facility Agent or any of the Lenders has actual notice and/or knowledge of any potential suspension, termination or withdrawal of the Finnvera Guarantee and/or if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee or becomes aware that an event or circumstance has arisen which will cause the Finnvera Guarantee and/or, if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee to be suspended, terminated or withdrawn for any reason or no longer remain in full force and effect it shall notify the Borrower and, in the case of such Lender, the Facility Agent. Following such notification the Lenders, the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall (at the cost and expense of the Borrower) negotiate in good faith for a period of up to 30 days or, if less, the date by which the Finnvera Guarantee and/or, if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee shall be suspended, terminated or withdrawn or cease to be in full force and effect to determine whether the Facility can be restructured and/or the Loan refinanced in a manner acceptable to each of the Lenders in their absolute discretion.  The Facility Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders) will request that Finnvera take part in such negotiations but shall have no obligation other than to send such

15

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

request to Finnvera. Nothing in this Section shall oblige any Finance Party to (i) monitor or make enquiries of or any investigation into whether any such suspension, termination or withdrawal etc. of the Finnvera Guarantee and/or, if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee has occurred or will occur or (ii) agree to any restructuring or refinancing of the Loan during any such good faith discussions.

ARTICLE X
THE FACILITY AGENT, THE HERMES AGENT AND THE MANDATED LEAD ARRANGERS

SECTION 10.1. Actions

Each Lender hereby appoints KfW IPEX, as Facility Agent and as Hermes Agent, as its agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document (for purposes of this Article X, the Facility Agent and the Hermes Agent are referred to collectively as the "Agents"). Each Lender authorises the Agents to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Majority Lenders received from time to time by the Agents (with respect to which each Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Article X or as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent shall be obliged to act on the instructions of any Lender or the Majority Lenders if to do so would, in the opinion of such Agent, be contrary to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to any law, or would expose such Agent to any actual or potential liability to any third party or would in the reasonable opinion of such Agent be contrary to any provision of the Finnvera Guarantee, the Hermes Insurance Policy or the Second Finnvera Guarantee (as the case may be) or in any way jeopardise the cover provided by such guarantee or policy.

SECTION 10.2. Indemnity

Each Lender (other than FEC) shall indemnify (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) each Agent, pro rata according to such Lender's Percentage (or, where the Percentage of any Lender differs as between Commitments, its Percentage across all Commitments), from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against, such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement 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 such Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by such Agent 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 such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Agent, any Lender or a third party. Neither Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless it is expressly required to do so under this Agreement or is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favour of an Agent shall be or become, in such Agent's

16

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

determination, inadequate, such Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION 10.3. Funding Reliance, etc..

Each Lender shall notify the Facility Agent by 4:00 p.m., Frankfurt time, one day prior to the advance of the Loan if it is not able to fund the following day. Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 4:00 p.m., Frankfurt time, on the day prior to the advance of the Loan that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage(s) of the Loan on the date specified therefor, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Facility Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may, but shall not be obliged to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Facility Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Facility Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loan without premium or penalty.

SECTION 10.4. Exculpation

Neither of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own wilful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Obligors or the existence at any time of any Default or Prepayment Event or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Obligors, (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by action upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties, and (vi) shall have no responsibility to the Borrower or any Lender on account of (A) the failure of a Lender or the Obligors to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (B) the financial condition of the Obligors; (C) the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties made in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in or pursuant to any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (D) the negotiation, execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or of any document executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document.

SECTION 10.5. Successor

The Facility Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders, provided that any such resignation (i) shall be subject to the

17

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

restrictions in the FEC Supplemental Assignment Agreement and (ii) shall not become effective until a successor Facility Agent has been appointed as provided in this Section 10.5 and such successor Facility Agent has accepted such appointment. If the Facility Agent at any time shall resign, the Majority Lenders shall, subject to the immediately preceding proviso and subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint another Lender as a successor to the Facility Agent which shall thereupon become such Facility Agent's successor hereunder (provided that the Majority Lenders shall, subject to the consent of the Borrower unless an Event or Default or a Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) offer to each of the other Lenders in turn, in the order of their respective Percentages (being, in the case of any Lender whose Percentages differ as between Commitments, its Percentage across all Commitments) of the Loan, the right to become successor Facility Agent). If no successor Facility Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the Facility Agent's giving notice of resignation, then the Facility Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Facility Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies), subject, in each case, to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Facility Agent hereunder by a successor Facility Agent, such successor Facility Agent shall be entitled to receive from the resigning Facility Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Facility Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Facility Agent, and the resigning Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any resigning Facility Agent's resignation hereunder as the Facility Agent, the provisions of:

(a)    this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and

(b)    Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

If a Lender acting as the Facility Agent assigns its Loan to one of its Affiliates, such Facility Agent may, subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign its rights and obligations as Facility Agent to such Affiliate.

SECTION 10.6. Loans by the Facility Agent

The Facility Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Loan made by it or any of its Affiliates. The Facility Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if the Facility Agent were not the Facility Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Facility Agent shall have no duty to disclose information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as the Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.7. Credit Decisions

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender's review of the financial information of the Obligors, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitment. Each Lender also

18

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

acknowledges that it will, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 10.8. Copies, etc.

Each Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to such Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower). Each Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by such Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by such Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.9. The Agents' Rights

Each Agent may (i) assume that all representations or warranties made or deemed repeated by the Obligors in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and complete, unless, in its capacity as the Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (ii) assume that no Default has occurred unless, in its capacity as an Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (iii) rely on any document or notice believed by it to be genuine, (iv) rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it, (v) rely as to any factual matters which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the Borrower on a certificate signed by or on behalf of the Borrower and (vi) refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to the manner of its exercise by the Lenders (or, where applicable, by the Majority Lenders) and unless and until such Agent has received from the Lenders any payment which such Agent may require on account of, or any security which such Agent may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain in complying with those instructions.

SECTION 10.10. The Facility Agent's Duties

The Facility Agent shall (i) if requested in writing to do so by a Lender, make enquiry and advise the Lenders as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Obligor or as to the existence of an Event of Default and (ii) inform the Lenders promptly of any Event of Default of which the Facility Agent has actual knowledge.

The Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed repeated by the Obligors or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Default unless a Lender or the Borrower shall have given written notice thereof to the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent. Any information acquired by the Facility Agent other than specifically in its capacity as the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to be information acquired by the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent.

The Facility Agent may, without any liability to account to the Lenders, generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower or with the Borrower's subsidiaries or associated companies or with a Lender as if it were not the Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.11. Employment of Agents

In performing its duties and exercising its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Agent shall be entitled to employ and pay agents to do anything which such Agent is empowered to do under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the receipt of money and documents and the payment of money); provided that, unless otherwise provided herein, including without limitation Section 11.3, the employment of such agents shall be for such Agent's account, and to act or refrain from taking action in reliance on the opinion of, or advice or information obtained from, any lawyer, banker, broker, accountant, valuer or any other person believed by such Agent in good faith to be competent to give such opinion, advice or information.

SECTION 10.13. Reimbursement

The Facility Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to a Lender until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Facility Agent does pay any sum to a Lender on account of any amount prospectively due to that Lender pursuant to Section 10.12 before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Facility Agent does not in fact receive payment within two (2) Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, that Lender will, on demand by the Facility Agent, refund to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Facility Agent for any amount which the Facility Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that amount was required to be paid by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and ending on the date on which the Facility Agent receives reimbursement.

SECTION 10.14. Instructions

Where an Agent is authorised or directed to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders or of the Majority Lenders (as the case may be) each of the Lenders shall provide such Agent with instructions within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as is required in the opinion of Hermes or Finnvera (as the case may be) in order for the Lenders to receive instructions from Hermes and/or Finnvera (as the case may be)) of such Agent's request (which request may be made orally or in writing). If a Lender does not provide such Agent with instructions within that period, that Lender shall be bound by the decision of such Agent. Nothing in this Section 10.14 shall limit the right of such Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders if such Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. In that event, such Agent will notify the Lenders of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Lenders agree to ratify any action taken by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Section 10.14.

SECTION 10.17. No Fiduciary Relationship

Except as provided in Section 10.12, neither Agent shall have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for any other person and nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Lenders or between either Agent and any other person.

(A)    No Mandated Lead Arranger has any obligations of any kind to the Borrower or any other Finance Party under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(B)    Nothing in any Loan Document constitutes a Mandated Lead Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.

(C)    No Mandated Lead Arranger shall be bound to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

Any such instructions given by the Majority Lenders will be binding on the relevant Lenders or all the Lenders (as the case may be). In the absence of instructions, the Facility Agent may act as it considers to be in the best interests of all the Lenders.

(D)    No failure or delay on the part of the Facility Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Facility Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions.

The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Facility Agent and each Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred by a Finance Party or Finnvera in connection with (x) the negotiation of any restructuring or "work-out", whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and (y) the enforcement of any Obligations.

SECTION 11.4. Indemnification

In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Lender and the extension of the Commitments, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Facility Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defence in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense (i) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or wilful misconduct or the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Credit Support Documents and which breach is not attributable to the Borrower's own breach of the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Credit Support Documents or (ii) relates to taxes other than Covered Taxes. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. Each Indemnified Party shall (a) furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Section 11.4, (b) not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower's prior consent, (c) shall cooperate fully in the Borrower's defence of any such action, suit or other claim (provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto) and (d) at the Borrower's request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defence of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, provided that (i) the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to

24

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims, (ii) the Borrower shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defence of such claim, (iii) the Borrower shall consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defence of such claim, (iv) the Borrower shall conduct the defence of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Borrower's expense, and (vi) the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either (A) such settlement involves only the payment of a monetary sum, does not include any performance by or an admission of liability or responsibility on the part of the Indemnified Party, and contains a provision unconditionally releasing the Indemnified Party and each other indemnified party from, and holding all such persons harmless, against, all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party or (B) the Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the Borrower's election to assume the defence of such action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defence of such action and the Borrower shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and determined that it is necessary to employ separate counsel in order to pursue such defences (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defence of such action on the Indemnified Party's behalf), (iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (iv) the Borrower authorises the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower's expense. The Borrower acknowledges that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 11.5. Survival

The obligations of the Borrower under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 11.3 and 11.4 and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.1, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

SECTION 11.6. Severability; Independence of Obligations

Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining

The Borrower agrees that the Borrower's obligations under this Agreement (including its obligation to repay the Loan) (a) are independent of the Construction Contract and (b) will not be invalidated, suspended or limited in any way by any termination, rescission, cancellation, invalidation, non-performance or non-completion of the Construction Contract or any other contract, agreement or arrangement relating thereto (other than the Loan Documents) or any dispute or claim between the Borrower and/or the Builder and/or any suppliers and/or any other third parties under or in connection with the Construction Contract, or any defence thereto, or any insolvency proceedings relating to the Builder or any other Person.

(b)    Notwithstanding any term of any Loan Document, the consent of any person who is not a party to a Loan Document (other than Finnvera, FEC (until such time as it becomes a party thereto pursuant to the FEC Transfer Certificates) or Hermes) is not required to rescind or vary this Agreement at any time.

SECTION 11.11.1. Assignments and transfers

(A) (i) Any Lender with the written consents of the Borrower and the Facility Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and which consent, in the case of the Borrower, shall be deemed to have been given in the absence of a written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Facility Agent, on or before the fifth Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of such Lender's request for consent, stating, in reasonable detail, the reasons why the Borrower proposes to withhold such consent) may at any time (and from time to time) assign or transfer to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions all or any fraction of such Lender's share of the Loan; provided that in the case of any assignee or transferee, such assignee or transferee (other than in the case of FEC) shall be reasonably acceptable to (1) Hermes (in relation to the Hermes Loan) and (2) Finnvera (in relation to the FEC Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan).

(ii) Any Lender, with notice to the Borrower and the Facility Agent in all cases except in the case of an assignment or transfer to FEC or Finnvera, and, notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), without the consent of the Borrower, or the Facility Agent may assign or transfer (a) to FEC or Finnvera (including, but not limited to, an assignment and/or transfer by such Lender as an Original FEC Lender to FEC under an FEC Transfer Certificate or by FEC to such Lender as an Original FEC Lender) or following the Disbursement Date, to any of its Affiliates or (b) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.1.1, 8.1.4(a) or 8.1.5, to any other Person, in either case, all or any fraction of such Lender's portion of the Loan but on the basis that, in the case of clause (a) and clause (b), any assignee or transferee (other than in the case of FEC or Finnvera) shall be reasonably acceptable to (1) the Facility Agent and (2) Finnvera (in relation to the FEC Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan) and (3) Hermes (in relation to the Hermes Loan).

(iv) No Lender may (notwithstanding the foregoing clauses) assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement if the proposed assignment or transfer would result in a breach of any terms of the Finnvera Guarantee, if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee or the Hermes Insurance Policy.

(v) No Lender may (notwithstanding the foregoing clauses) assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement unless it has given prior written notification of the transfer to each of the Finnish Authorities, Hermes and the Facility Agent and the Facility Agent has obtained a prior written consent from the Finnish Authorities and Hermes.

(vi) Nothing in this Section 11.11.1 shall prejudice the right of a Lender to assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement to the Finnish Authorities or Hermes, if such assignment or transfer is required to be made by that Lender to the Finnish Authorities and

27

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

Hermes in accordance with the Finnvera Guarantee, if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee or the Hermes Insurance Policy.

Save in the case of a transfer to FEC pursuant to the FEC Transfer Documents, each Person described in the foregoing clauses as being the Person to whom such assignment or transfer is to be made, is hereinafter referred to as an "Assignee Lender" or "Transferee Lender". Assignments or transfers in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (or, if less, all of such Lender's portion of the Loan and Commitment) (which assignment or transfer shall, other than in the case of any portion of the Fifth Amendment Upsize Commitment, be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such Lender's portion of the Loan) are permitted; provided that the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned or transferred to an Assignee Lender or a Transferee Lender (as the case may be) until:

(a)    written notice of such assignment or transfer, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Facility Agent by such Lender and such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender;

(b)    such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Borrower and the Facility Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement or a Transfer Certificate as set out in (B) below, accepted by the Facility Agent;

Except to the extent resulting from a subsequent change in law, in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay to any Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no such assignment or transfer been made. Such assignor Lender, transferor Lender or such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender (unless a party to an FEC Transfer Certificate under which FEC is the transferee) must also pay a processing fee to the Facility Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate in the amount of $2,000 (and shall also reimburse the Facility Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the assignment or transfer).

(C)    Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(ii)    the financial condition of the Borrower;

(iii)    the performance and observance by the Borrower of its     obligations under the Loan Documents; or

(ii)    will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Loan Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c)    Nothing in any Loan Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)    accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Section 11.11.1 except in the case of an FEC Reassignment; or

(ii)    support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents or otherwise, save where Lenders are obliged to reimburse FEC for any Break Costs.

(e)    the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold; and

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.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and clause (e) of Section 7.1.1, shall be considered a Lender.

(ii)    following the assignment and transfer referred to above, the Facility Agent shall act as agent for FEC under the Loan Documents and the Guarantee Holder shall continue to act as holder of the Finnvera Guarantee for and on behalf of the FEC Lender(s).

(b)    The Borrower and each Finance Party shall co-operate and actively assist each other with respect to any obligations such Finance Party may have under or in connection with any Credit Support Document provided however, the Borrower shall not be required to act in a manner that it considers to be contrary or adverse to its own interests or may, directly or indirectly, result in any increased or additional cost or liability to the Borrower whether under the Loan Documents or otherwise (except for costs and expenses which the Borrower has agreed, pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise, to pay).

(c)    The Finance Parties have obligations under the FEC Transfer Documents (to which they are a party) and the Facility Agent has obligations as holder of the Finnvera Guarantee, and, if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee which they would not have incurred (or in relation to which it would not have had any liability) if they had not entered into the FEC Transfer Documents or become holder of the Finnvera Guarantee, and, if applicable, the Second Finnvera Guarantee.

(i)    in the case of Section 3.2.2(b) or 3.2.2(c), what steps may be open to the relevant Lender to mitigate or remove such circumstances (including, without limitation, the possibility of assigning the Lender's Commitment to an Affiliate or another Lending Office); and

(ii)    in the case of Section 9.1.10(C), the circumstances in which Section 9.1.10(C) has become applicable and whether there are any steps or actions which can be taken to remove the effect of the circumstances as

38

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

described in such Section and/or reinstate or replace the Hermes Insurance Policy.

If the provisions of Section 3.2.2(b) or 3.2.2(c) apply, if requested by the Borrower, the affected Lender shall, without limiting such Lender's obligation to enter into discussions as set forth above in this Section 11.20(a), use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer its Affected Commitment or its portion of the Loan, as the case may be, to one or more third parties at par during the Mitigation Period in the manner contemplated by Section 3.2.2(b) or (c) as relevant.

(b)    To the extent required by or considered necessary by any party to this Agreement, the Lenders (and, in the case of Section 3.2.2(b) or 3.2.2(c), any affected Lender) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include the Finnish Authorities and Hermes in all foregoing discussions.

(c)    If an Illegality Notice shall be given by any Lender during the period falling 20 days prior to the Actual Delivery Date, the affected Lender will use all reasonable efforts to accelerate the mitigation steps of the type described or to be discussed pursuant to this Section to try and enable the Commitment of such Lender to still be available for drawing by the Borrower two (2) Business Days prior to the Actual Delivery Date in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 11.21. Modification and/or Discontinuation of Benchmarks.

(a)    If a Screen Rate Replacement Event has occurred then, promptly thereafter, the Facility Agent and the Borrower will enter into negotiations with a view to amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar US dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks where such negotiations will take into account the then current market standards and will be conducted with a view to reducing or eliminating, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one party to another party (any such proposed rate, a "Benchmark Successor Rate"), together with any proposed Benchmark Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the Facility Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Facility Agent written notice that such Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such Benchmark Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Facility Agent, such Benchmark Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Facility Agent.

(b)    If no Benchmark Successor Rate has been determined and either (x) the circumstances set out in paragraph (a) of the definition of "Screen Rate Replacement Event" in Section 1.1 exist or (y) the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, the Facility Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain the Loan shall be suspended and (ii) the Screen Rate shall no longer be utilised in determining the LIBO Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending Loan Request.

39

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

(c)    Until such time as a Benchmark Successor Rate and Benchmark Successor Rate Conforming Changes have been determined and agreed and without prejudice to the obligation of the parties to enter into negotiations with a view to determining or agreeing a Benchmark Successor Rate pursuant to paragraph (a) above, for any Interest Period starting after the Screen Rate Replacement Event, the LIBO Rate shall be replaced by the weighted average of the rates notified to the Facility Agent by each Lender five Business Days prior to the first day of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost the relevant Lender would have of funding an amount equal to its participation in the Loan during the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select. If such amount is less than zero, it shall be deemed to be zero.

(d)    The Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower shall, during the period between 1 April 2021 and 31 December 2022, enter into negotiations in good faith with a view to agreeing a basis upon which a Benchmark Successor Rate can be used in replacement of the Screen Rate, together with any associated Benchmark Successor Rate Conforming Changes, and a timetable for the implementation of these changes so that the appropriate changes can be made prior to the Scheduled Unavailability Date.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Benchmark Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Benchmark Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(f)    Section 3.3.6 shall not apply following the occurrence of a Screen Rate Replacement Event.

(g)    Where paragraph (a) above applies, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the Facility Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by the Facility Agent in responding to, evaluating, negotiating or complying with the requirements set out in that paragraph.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this ICON 1 Hull No. 1400 Credit Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorised as of the day and year first above written.

Unless otherwise specified, references in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document to any Article or Section are references to such Article or Section of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and, unless otherwise specified, references in any Article, Section or definition to any clause are references to such clause of such Article, Section or definition.

SECTION 1.4. Accounting and Financial Determinations

Unless otherwise specified, all accounting terms used herein or in any other Loan Document shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations and computations hereunder or thereunder (including under Section 7.2.4) shall be made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder or thereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with

        Page 38

United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") consistently applied (or, if not consistently applied, accompanied by details of the inconsistencies); provided that if the Borrower elects to apply or is required to apply International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") accounting principles in lieu of GAAP, upon any such election and notice to the Facility Agent, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter be construed to mean IFRS (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement); provided further that if, as a result of (i) any change in GAAP or IFRS or in the interpretation thereof or (ii) the application by the Borrower of IFRS in lieu of GAAP, in each case, after the date of the first set of financial statements provided to the Facility Agent hereunder, there is a change in the manner of determining any of the items referred to herein or therein that are to be determined by reference to GAAP, and the effect of such change would (in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower or the Facility Agent) be such as to affect the basis or efficacy of the financial covenants contained in Section 7.2.4 in ascertaining the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Borrower notifies the Facility Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate such change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower that the Majority Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), then such item shall for the purposes of Section 7.2.4 continue to be determined in accordance with GAAP relating thereto as if GAAP were applied immediately prior to such change in GAAP or in the interpretation thereof until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all obligations of any person that are or would be characterized as operating lease obligations in accordance with GAAP on the Amendment Number One Closing Date (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) shall continue to be accounted for as operating lease obligations for the purposes of this Agreement regardless of any change in GAAP following the Amendment Number One Closing Date that would otherwise require such obligations to be recharacterized (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) as capital leases.

Any such payment shall be made on the second (2nd) Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth the accrued fees and commissions so payable.

SECTION 2.3. Notification of Hermes Documentary Requirements

(a)    Promptly following its receipt of the Hermes Insurance Policy, the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing (with a copy to the Builder) of the documentary requirements specified by Hermes in the letter from Hermes and the letter from Hermes to the Hermes Agent detailing the Hermes Documentary Requirements (as defined below) in order for the Hermes Insurance Policy to become effective in relation to any specified German Construction Contract Component from time to time (the "Hermes Documentary Requirements").

(a)    The Finnvera Balancing Commitment Amount may be increased from zero to an amount up to but not exceeding the aggregate of the Maximum Balancing Amount and the Finnvera Balancing Premium subject to and in

        Page 43

accordance with this Section 2.4 only. In order to determine the Maximum Balancing Amount, from time to time, the Facility Agent shall request the Builder (up to 4 weeks before each German Content Review Date) to (a) confirm to the Facility Agent and the Borrower in writing the amount of the Actual German Content Component which is known or confirmed at that time and that part of such Actual German Content Component (if any) for which the Hermes Documentary Requirements can be satisfied and (b) provide copies of all the Hermes Documentary Requirements which are then available for any or all of the confirmed Actual German Content Component. On each German Content Review Date the Maximum Balancing Amount shall reduce by the Eligible German Content Amount which is confirmed at that time provided that the Facility Agent has received from the Builder (in satisfactory form) the relevant Hermes Documentary Requirements for such Eligible German Content Amount. Following each German Content Review Date the Facility Agent shall calculate and confirm to the Borrower in writing the Maximum Balancing Amount then available in accordance with this Agreement which amount cannot be increased following each such confirmation.

(b)    At any time up to the Final German Content Notice Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Facility Agent (the "Final German Content Notice"), elect without premium or penalty to re-allocate a portion of the Hermes Commitment Amount to the Finnvera Balancing Commitment Amount in the event the German Construction Contract Component at such time is expected to be less than EUR200,000,000 and/or there are any elements of the German Construction Contract Component for which the Hermes Documentary Requirements have not been satisfied (and are unlikely to be satisfied by the Final German Content Notice Date (or such later date in advance of the Contractual Delivery Date as the Borrower may agree with the Builder and the Facility Agent)). Any such written notice shall be accompanied by a letter from the Builder regarding the then Actual German Content Component and the then current status of the Hermes Documentary Requirements. The amount that may be re-allocated pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) shall not exceed (a) 80% of the difference between EUR200,000,000 and the Eligible German Content Amount or (b) the Maximum Balancing Amount then available plus the Finnvera Balancing Premium provided that in each case, the Hermes Commitment Amount shall at all times be equal to or greater than 5% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement.

(c)    It is agreed that any partial deficiency in the fulfilment of the Hermes Documentary Requirements relating to a part of the German Construction Contract Component shall not affect the validity of the Hermes Insurance Policy in relation to the remaining German Construction Contract Component and shall not affect the Borrower's right to draw such portion of the Hermes Commitment Amount upon the terms of this Agreement in relation to all those elements of the German Construction Contract Component for which the Hermes Documentary Requirements have been met.

(d)    In the circumstances set forth in this Section 2.4 only, the Finnvera Balancing Commitment Amount (including any amount specified in Section 2.4(b)) shall be available to the Borrower under the terms of this Agreement.

        Page 44

(e)    Section 2.1.6 shall apply to any adjustment of the Hermes Commitment Amount and/or the Finnvera Balancing Commitment Amount under this Section 2.4.

(f)    In the event the Facility Agent has not received the Final German Content Notice by the Final German Content Notice Date or, if as of such Final German Content Notice Date, the Facility Agent has received written notice from the Borrower (accompanied by a letter from the Builder) indicating that the German Construction Contract Component is equal to or greater than EUR200,000,000 and that all Hermes Documentary Requirements can be met in relation to the German Construction Component, then the Finnvera Balancing Commitment will be automatically cancelled without premium or penalty and will not be available for drawing.

        Page 45

Lender's Percentage of each of the FEC Tranche A Loan, FEC Tranche B Loan, Hermes Loan and, if applicable, Finnvera Balancing Loan requested by such Loan Request. Such deposit will be made to an account which the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are so received from the Lenders, the Facility Agent shall, without any set-off or counterclaim, make such funds available to the Borrower on the Business Day specified in the Loan Request by wire transfer of same day funds to the account or accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Loan Request.

(c)    The Borrower shall be entitled, upon receipt of the Dollar funds into the account referred to in Section 2.5(b) above, (i) to complete the purchase of EUR with its counterparties or otherwise as set out in the Loan Request (by authorising and instructing the Facility Agent to remit the necessary Dollar funds to the said counterparties) and shall procure the payment of all EUR proceeds of such transactions to the EUR Pledged Account no later than the Business Day immediately following the Business Day specified in the Loan Request and (ii) to the extent of any such Dollar funds as shall not be used to purchase EUR, shall procure (by authorising and instructing the Facility Agent accordingly) the payment of such Dollar funds to the Dollar Pledged Account on the Disbursement Date.

(d)    The Facility Agent shall direct that moneys standing to the credit of the Pledged Accounts shall, in the manner set out in the Loan Request and in accordance with the requirements and provisions of the Pledge Agreement, be disbursed as follows on the dates specified below:

(i)        on the Actual Delivery Date, in EUR, to the account of the Builder, as designated by the Builder and identified by the Borrower in the Loan Request, to the extent necessary to meet the final instalment of the Contract Price (including any portion thereof attributable to the NYC Allowance) provided that the Hermes Loan shall only finance up to the lesser of EUR160,000,000 and 80% of the German Construction Contract Component, with the FEC Tranche A Loan, FEC Tranche B Loan and, if applicable, Finnvera Balancing Loan financing the balance of the final instalment.

(ii)    on the Disbursement Date, in Dollars to Finnvera in payment of (a) the Finnvera Premium; and (b) if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Premium provided that the relevant portion of the FEC Tranche A Loan and/or the FEC Tranche B Loan shall only finance the Finnvera Premium and, if applicable, the relevant portion of the Finnvera Balancing Loan shall only finance the Finnvera Balancing Premium; and

(iii)    on the Actual Delivery Date, in Dollars (based on the spot rate of exchange specified in the invoice issued by Hermes prior to the Actual Delivery Date) (a) to Hermes in payment of the Second Fee; and (b) to the account of the Borrower, as designated by the Borrower and identified by the Borrower in the Loan Request, in reimbursement of the First Fee and in respect of any additional amounts standing to the Dollar Pledged Account as of the date of

        Page 46

such disbursement provided that the relevant portion of the Hermes Loan shall only finance payment of such First Fee and Second Fee.

SECTION 2.6. Funding

Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfil its obligation to make or continue its portion of the Loan hereunder by causing a branch or Affiliate (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) other than that indicated next to its signature to this Agreement or, as the case may be, in the relevant Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, to make or maintain such portion of the Loan; provided that such portion of the Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such portion of the Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had the Lender not caused such branch or Affiliate (or international banking facility) to make or maintain such portion of the Loan.

ARTICLE III
REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

SECTION 3.1. Repayments and prepayment consequent upon reduction in Contract Price

(a)    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the Borrower shall repay the Loan in 24 equal semi-annual instalments, with the first instalment to fall due on the date falling six (6) months after the Disbursement Date and the final instalment to fall due on the date of Final Maturity.

(b)    If, on the Actual Delivery Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan exceeds the US Dollar Maximum Loan Amount (as a result of a reduction in the Contract Price after the Disbursement Date and before the delivery of the Purchased Vessel), the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to such excess within two (2) Business Days after the Actual Delivery Date. Any such partial prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis across each of the FEC Loan, the Hermes Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan provided that the Borrower may direct how such pro rata prepayment shall be applied between the FEC Tranche A Loan and the FEC Tranche B Loan and provided that such pro rata application across the Loan shall not result in the Hermes Loan being less than 5% of the amount of the Loan.

(c)    No amount repaid or prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.1 may be re-borrowed under the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.2. Prepayment

SECTION 3.2.1. Voluntary Prepayment

(iii)    any voluntary prepayment shall not result in the Hermes Loan being less than 5% of the amount of the Loan at any time.

SECTION 3.2.2. Illegality

(a)    If, by reason of a Change in Law, it becomes unlawful under any applicable law (i) for a Lender to be subject to a commitment to make available to the Borrower such Lender's portion of the FEC Loan, Hermes Loan and/or Finnvera Balancing Loan, (ii) for a Lender to make or hold its portion of the FEC Loan, Hermes Loan and/or Finnvera Balancing Loan in its Lending Office, (iii) for a Lender to receive a payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) for a Lender to comply with any other material provision of, or to perform its obligations as contemplated by, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Lender affected by such Change in Law may give written notice (the "Illegality Notice") to the Borrower and the Facility Agent of such Change in Law, including reasonable details of the relevant Change of Law and specifying which, if not all, of its Commitment (the "Affected Commitment") and portion of the Loan (the "Affected Loan") is affected by such Change in Law. Any Illegality Notice must be given by a Lender no later than 120 days after such Lender first obtains actual knowledge or written notice of the relevant Change in Law.

(b)    If an affected Lender delivers an Illegality Notice prior to the Disbursement Date, then, subject to Section 11.20, (1) while the arrangements contemplated by the following clause (2) have not yet been completed and the Affected Commitment of such Lender has not been formally cancelled, such Lender shall not be obliged to fund its Affected Commitment and (2) the Borrower shall be entitled at any time within 50 days after receipt of such Illegality Notice to replace such Lender with another Lender hereunder or one or more other financial institutions (I) reasonably acceptable to the

        Page 48

Facility Agent and (II) acceptable to each of Finnvera (in respect of the FEC Loan and, if applicable the Finnvera Balancing Loan) and/or Hermes (in respect of the Hermes Loan) (as applicable); provided that any such assignment or transfer shall be either (x) in the case of a single assignment or transfer, an assignment or transfer of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Commitment or (y) in the case of more than one assignment or transfer, an assignment or transfer of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or transfer or other such assignments or transfers that collectively cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Commitment. If, at the end of such 50-day period, the Borrower has not so replaced such affected Lender as aforesaid and no alternative arrangements have been implemented pursuant to Section 11.20, the Affected Commitment held by such Lender shall be cancelled.

(c)    Subject to Proviso (a) in Section 9.2, if an affected Lender delivers an Illegality Notice on or following the Disbursement Date, then the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable at any time within 50 days after receipt of such Illegality Notice (the "Option Period"), either (1) to prepay the portion of the Affected Loan held by such Lender in full on or before the expiry of the Option Period, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such prepayment, or (2) to replace such Lender on or before the expiry of the Option Period with another Lender hereunder or one or more other financial institutions (I) reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent and (II) acceptable to Finnvera (in respect of the FEC Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan) and/or Hermes (in respect of the Hermes Loan) (as applicable); provided that (x) in the case of a single assignment or transfer, any such assignment or transfer shall be either an assignment or transfer of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Loan or, in the case of more than one assignment or transfer, an assignment or transfer of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or transfer or other such assignments or transfers that collectively cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning or transferring Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Loan and (y) no Lender shall be obliged to make any such assignment or transfer as a result of an election by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.2.2(c) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from one or more Assignee Lenders, Transferee Lenders and/or the Borrower in an aggregate amount at least equal to the portion of the Affected Loan held by such Lender, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such assignment or transfer (and all other amounts then owing to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to the Affected Loan).

(b)    In the event that FEC is entitled under the terms of clause 13.1.1 of the FEC Supplemental Assignment Agreement to effect an FEC Conversion, it shall notify the Borrower through the Facility Agent and advise of the date on which the Fixed Rate will terminate and the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate will apply (the "FEC Conversion Notice") and the Borrower and FEC shall agree the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin which is to apply for purposes of determining the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate in accordance with the procedure set out in a separate side letter between the Borrower and FEC. Any margin agreed shall constitute the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin to apply to the FEC Tranche A Loan effective on and from the date specified in the Conversion Notice.

(f)    If an FEC Conversion occurs due to the occurrence of the events or circumstances specified in Section 3.3.3(a)(i), (iii) or (iv) which are directly attributable to a breach by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall indemnify FEC in its capacity as Fixed Rate Provider for (x) any Break Costs incurred because of the change of the interest rate and regardless of whether any FEC Commitment is cancelled or any portion of the FEC Tranche A Loan is prepaid in connection with such change of interest and (y) the Interest Subsidy Amount Repayable.

If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall fail to furnish in a timely manner such information to the Facility Agent for the Reference Bank Rate, the Facility Agent shall determine the Reference Bank Rate on the basis of the information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. If the Borrower elects to add an additional Reference Bank hereunder or a Reference Bank ceases for any reason to be able and willing to act as such, the Facility Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders and after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, appoint a replacement for such Reference Bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and such replaced Reference Bank shall cease to be a Reference Bank hereunder. The Facility Agent shall furnish to the Borrower and to the Lenders each determination of the LIBO Rate made by reference to the Reference Bank Rate.

ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful

If after the Effective Date 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 its portion of (i) the FEC Tranche A Loan in the event it is accruing interest at the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate (ii) the FEC Tranche B Loan (iii) the Hermes Loan and/or (iv) if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan based on the LIBO Rate, the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or maintain its portion of such (i) FEC Tranche A Loan (ii) FEC Tranche B Loan (iii) Hermes Loan and/or (iv) the Finnvera Balancing Loan bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Facility 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 its portion of such FEC Tranche A Loan, FEC Tranche B Loan, Hermes Loan and/or Finnvera Balancing Loan hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain its portion of such (i) FEC Tranche A Loan (ii) FEC Tranche B Loan (iii) Hermes Loan and/or (iv) Finnvera Balancing Loan bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower that is the equivalent of the sum of the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period plus the applicable Floating Rate Margin (in relation to the FEC Tranche B Loan, the Hermes Loan and, if applicable, the Finnvera Balancing Loan or the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin (in relation to the FEC Tranche A Loan where following an FEC Conversion this is subject to the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate).

        Page 54

SECTION 4.2. Screen Rate or Deposits Unavailable

If, in relation to the Floating Rate Loan, the Facility Agent shall have determined that:

(a)    the Screen Rate shall cease to be available as a publicly available benchmark rate; or

(b)    Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to each Reference Bank in its relevant market; or

(c)    by reason of circumstances affecting the Reference Banks' relevant markets, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate loans for the relevant Interest Period,

then the Facility Agent shall give notice of such determination (hereinafter called a "Determination Notice") to the Borrower and each of the Lenders holding a portion of the Floating Rate Loan. The Borrower, those Lenders and the Facility Agent shall then negotiate in good faith in order to agree upon, in the case of Section 4.2(a), the alternative benchmark rate to be substituted for the Screen Rate (hereinafter called the "Alternative Screen Rate") which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement and, in the case of Section 4.2(b) and 4.2(c), a mutually satisfactory interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement. If the Borrower, those Lenders and the Facility Agent are unable to agree upon the Alternative Screen Rate or an interest rate (or rates) and interest period (or interest periods) (as the case may be) prior to the date occurring fifteen (15) Business Days after the giving of such Determination Notice, the Facility Agent shall (after consultation with those Lenders) (as the case may be) set an Alternative Screen Rate or interest rate and an interest period (or interest periods) in each case to take effect at the end of the Interest Period current at the date of the Determination Notice, which Alternative Screen Rate or rate (or rates), as applicable, shall be equal to the sum of the applicable Floating Rate Margin or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate Margin and the Federal Funds Rate.

In the event that the circumstances described in Section 4.2(b) and Section 4.2(c) shall extend beyond the end of an interest period agreed or set pursuant hereto, the foregoing procedure shall be repeated as often as may be necessary.

SECTION 4.3. Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc.

If after the Effective Date 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 Borrower, or if compliance by any Lender with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or other authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the date hereof, shall:

(a)    subject any Lender to any taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature with respect to its portion of the Loan or any part thereof imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than (i) taxes

        Page 55

as to which such Lender is indemnified under Section 4.6 and (ii) taxes excluded from the indemnity set forth in Section 4.6); or

(b)    change the basis of taxation to any Lender (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income of any Lender) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve or capital adequacy requirements (other than the increased capital costs described in Section 4.5) 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 portion of the Loan or any part thereof,

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (i) to increase the cost to such Lender of making its portion of the Loan or maintaining its portion of the Loan 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) such Lender shall (through the Facility Agent) notify the Borrower 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 Borrower shall forthwith upon such demand pay to the Facility 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 unless such additional costs are attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a party to this Agreement or are otherwise excluded from the indemnity set forth in Section 4.6 or Section 11.4. 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 such 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 organisation 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 Borrower 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 Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor;

        Page 56

providedfurther 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 Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such cost or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor.

SECTION 4.4. Funding Losses Event and Defaulting Finance Party Break Costs

SECTION 4.4.1. Indemnity

(A)    In the event: (i) any Lender is required to liquidate or to re-deploy (at not less than the market rate) deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund any portion of the principal amount of its portion of the Loan (ii) FEC exercises its right to effect an FEC Conversion or (iii) FEC exercises its right to effect an FEC Reassignment, in each case, as a result of:

(a)    if at the time interest is calculated at the Floating Rate or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate on such Lender's portion of the Loan, any conversion or repayment or prepayment or acceleration of the principal amount of such Lender's portion of the Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of an Interest Period or otherwise scheduled date for repayment or payment (in each case, including any payments as a result of an FEC Reassignment made in accordance with Section 9.1.10(A) where the Borrower is liable to pay Break Costs under Section 9.1.10(A)(b)), but excluding any prepayment made following an election by the Borrower to effect a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.2.2(c), or any repayment pursuant to Section 9.1.11, by reason of a Non-Borrower Related Change in Law);

(b)    if at the time interest is calculated at the Fixed Rate on such Lender's portion of the Loan, any repayment or prepayment or acceleration of the principal amount of such Lender's portion of the Loan, other than any repayment made on the date scheduled for such repayment (in each case, including any payments whatsoever as a result of an FEC Conversion or an FEC Reassignment where the Borrower is liable to pay Break Costs under Section 3.3.3(d) or Section 3.3.3(f) in the case of an FEC Conversion and Section 9.1.10(A)(b) in the case of an FEC Reassignment) excluding any repayment pursuant to Section 9.1.11, by reason of a Non-Borrower Related Change in Law);

(c)    a voluntary reduction of the FEC Tranche A Commitment below EUR1,018,794,290;

(d)    the Loan not being advanced in accordance with the Loan Request therefor due to the fault of the Borrower or as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article V not being satisfied;

(e)    any prepayment of the Loan by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.12 or Section 9.2; or

(f)    the FEC Tranche A Loan not being advanced on or before the Commitment Termination Date,

        Page 57

(each, a "Funding Losses Event"), then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such notice:

a.    if at that time interest is calculated at the Floating Rate or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate on such Lender's portion of the Loan, pay directly to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender an amount (the "Floating Rate Indemnity Amount") equal to the amount, if any, by which:

(i)    interest calculated at the Floating Rate or, if applicable, the FEC Tranche A Floating Rate which such Lender would have received on its share of the amount of the Loan subject to such Funding Losses Event for the period from the date of receipt of any part of its share in the Loan to the last day of the applicable Interest Period,

exceeds:

(ii)    the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in the appropriate interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; or

b.    if at that time the Fixed Rate is applied to the FEC Tranche A Commitment or the FEC Tranche A Loan (as applicable), pay to the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of FEC, in its capacity as the Fixed Rate Provider) for the account of FEC, in its capacity as the Fixed Rate Provider, the amount (if any) in Dollars determined by FEC, as Fixed Rate Provider, by which:

(i)    the sum of the present value, discounted at the Reinvestment Rate, of each principal payment and interest payment which the FEC Lender would have received on its share of any amount of the FEC Tranche A Commitment that is cancelled or any outstanding amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan that is prepaid for the period from the date of cancellation or from the date of receipt of the prepayment of the principal amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan by the FEC Lender, until the date of Final Maturity (assuming for these purposes that interest would have accrued during the relevant period on a loan ("Deemed Loan") made on the date of cancellation or receipt of the principal amount prepaid in an amount equal to the FEC Tranche A Commitment so cancelled or the principal amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan so prepaid and where such Deemed Loan is repaid in proportional repayment instalments on each of the subsequent Repayment Dates),

exceeds:

(ii)    the cancelled amount of the FEC Tranche A Commitment or the principal amount of the FEC Tranche A Loan

        Page 58

prepaid plus accrued interest paid thereon since the previous interest payment date.

(B)    Where a Defaulting Finance Party is liable to pay Break Costs to the Facility Agent for the account of FEC acting in its capacity as Fixed Rate Provider pursuant to Section 3.3.3(e) or Section 9.1.10(A)(c) such Break Costs shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.4.1(A)b.

SECTION 4.5. Increased Capital Costs

If after the Effective Date 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) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority (a) results in an increase of 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 Commitment or its portion of the Loan 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 or (b) a Finance Party suffers a reduction of any amount payable under a Loan Document then, in each such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender or Finance Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or Finance Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person or Finance Party for such reduction in rate of return. Any such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy 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 or Finance Party'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 or Finance Party does business. In determining such amount, such Lender or Finance Party may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, deem applicable. Each Lender or Finance Party 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 or Finance Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Finance Party. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Finance Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Finance Party's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Finance Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or Finance Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender's or Finance Party's intention to claim compensation therefor; providedfurther 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 or Finance Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender's or Finance Party's intention to claim compensation therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 4.5 in respect of (i) taxes to which a Finance Party is indemnified under Section 4.6 or (ii) taxes excluded from the indemnity set forth in Section 4.6.

        Page 59

SECTION 4.6. Taxes

All payments by any Obligor of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document, including for the avoidance of doubt under any Fee Letter, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding with respect to each Lender (i) franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by such Lender's net income or receipts of such Lender and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes or taxes on receipts, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organised or any political subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction of such Lender's Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or any other jurisdiction unless such net income taxes are imposed solely as a result of the applicable Obligor's activities in such other jurisdiction, and (ii) any taxes imposed under FATCA (such non-excluded items being called "Covered Taxes"). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by an Obligor under any Loan Document is required in respect of any Covered Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

(a)    pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(b)    promptly forward to the Facility Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Facility Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c)    pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Facility Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received or paid by the Facility Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Facility Agent or such Lender may pay such Covered Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted.

Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office 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, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

If the Borrower fails to pay any Covered Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Facility Agent for the account of the respective Lenders the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental withholding Covered Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure (so long as such amount did not become payable as a result of the failure of such Lender to provide timely notice to the Borrower of the assertion of a liability related to the payment

        Page 60

of Covered Taxes). For purposes of this Section 4.6, a distribution hereunder by the Facility Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

If any Lender is entitled to any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in tax by reason of any payment made by the Borrower in respect of any Covered Tax under this Section 4.6 or by reason of any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.3, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund, credit, deduction or other reduction and, promptly after receipt thereof, will pay to the Borrower such amount (plus any interest received by such Lender in connection with such refund, credit, deduction or reduction) as is equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender of such part of such refund, credit, deduction or reduction as such Lender reasonably determines is allocable to such Covered Tax or such payment (less out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender), provided that no Lender shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

Each Lender agrees with the Borrower and the Facility Agent that it will (i) (a) provide to the Facility Agent and the Borrower an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying the status of such Lender as a US person, IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Lender are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming the benefits of a tax treaty (but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding), or any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any assignee or transferee Lender, Lender that changes its Lending Office, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment, transfer or change), in each case attached to an IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), if appropriate, (b) notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower if the certifications made on any form provided pursuant to this paragraph are no longer accurate and true in all material respects and (c) provide such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, if any, or as otherwise reasonably requested, to demonstrate, to the extent applicable, the status of such Lender or that payments to such Lender hereunder are exempt from withholding under FATCA, and (ii) in all cases, provide such forms, certificates or other documents, as and when reasonably requested by the Borrower, necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, Covered Taxes, a FATCA Deduction or any payments made to or for benefit of such Lender, provided that the Lender is legally able to deliver such forms, certificates or other documents. For any period with respect to which a Lender (or assignee or transferee Lender) has failed to provide the Borrower with the foregoing forms (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided (which, in the case of an Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender, would be the date on which the original assignor or transferor was required to provide such form) or if such form otherwise is not required hereunder) such Lender (or assignee or transferee Lender) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.6 or Section 11.4 with respect to Covered Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

SECTION 4.7. [Intentionally left blank]

SECTION 4.8. Payments, Computations, etc.

(a)    Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments by an Obligor in respect of amounts of principal, interest and fees or any other applicable amounts owing to the Lenders

        Page 61

under any Loan Document shall be made by such Obligor to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payments and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts then due and payable to the Lenders. All such payments required to be made to the Facility Agent shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System (or such other funds as may be customary for the settlement of international banking transactions in Dollars), to such account as the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower.

        Page 62

Transferee Lenders and/or the Borrower in an aggregate amount at least equal to the portion of the Loan held by such Lender, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such assignment or transfer (and all other amounts then owing to such Lender under this Agreement). Each Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, with respect to any Lender not a party hereto on the date hereof, 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 Section 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6 to or for account of such Lender.

SECTION 4.10. Sharing of Payments

SECTION 4.10.1. Payments to Lenders

If a Lender (a "Recovering Lender") receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Section 4.8 (Payments, Computations, etc.) (a "Recovered Amount") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Loan Documents then:

(a)    the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Facility Agent;

(b)    the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Lender would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with the said Section 4.8, without taking account of any taxes which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c)    the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.10.2. Redistribution of payments

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Lenders (other than the Recovering Lender) (the "Sharing Lenders") in accordance with Section 4.8 of this Agreement towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Lenders.

SECTION 4.10.3. Recovering Lender's rights

On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Section 4.10.2 of a payment received by a Recovering Lender from the relevant Obligor, solely as between that Obligor and the Recovering Lender, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the relevant Obligor.

        Page 63

SECTION 4.10.4. Reversal of redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Lender becomes repayable to the Obligor and is repaid by that Recovering Lender to the Obligor, then:

(a)    each Sharing Lender shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Recovering Lender an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Lender for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Lender is required to pay) (the "Redistributed Amount"); and

(b)    solely as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Lender, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the relevant Obligor.

SECTION 4.10.5. Exceptions

(a)    This Section 4.10 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Lender would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Section 4.10, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

(b)    A Recovering Lender is not obliged to share with any other Lender any amount which the Recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

i.    it notified the other Lender of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

ii.    the other Lender had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

SECTION 4.11. Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Prepayment Event, each Lender shall have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due and owing to it any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of any Obligor then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.10. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Obligor and the Facility Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 4.12. Use of Proceeds

The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.5(c) and (d) and, in relation to the Disbursement Date, prior to such application, such proceeds shall be held in an account or accounts of the Facility Agent in accordance with

        Page 64

the provisions of Section 2.5(b) and (c) or in an account or accounts that the Borrower shall have specified in its Loan Request in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5(b); without limiting the foregoing, no proceeds of the Loan will directly or indirectly be used to lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or any other Person, (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such finding is a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loan, whether as advisor, lender, facility or other agent or otherwise) or (iii) to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any "margin stock", as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U. If the proceeds of the Loan have not been paid either (A) to the Builder or its order in accordance with Section 2.5(d)(i) and to, Finnvera, Hermes and the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.5(d)(ii) or 2.5(d)(iii) or (B) to the Facility Agent (directly or indirectly) in prepayment of the Loan under Section 3.2.1(a) or by 9:59 p.m. (London time) on the second Business Day after the Disbursement Date, such proceeds shall continue to be pledged by the Borrower upon receipt in accordance with Section 2.5(c) as collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement pending the Actual Delivery Date. If, within 30 days of the Disbursement Date, the Borrower notifies the Facility Agent that the Actual Delivery Date is expected to be materially delayed, the Facility Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders shall discuss in good faith (but without obligation) for a period of 30 days to agree whether the Loan can be repaid and reborrowed and the terms that would apply to any such re-borrowing. In the event that no agreement is reached and the delivery of the Vessel does not occur on or before 9 February 2026, the proceeds in the Pledged Accounts shall be applied as a prepayment against the Loan in accordance with Section 9.2.

SECTION 4.13. FATCA Deduction

(d)    If a party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Loan Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

The Facility Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrower.

(h)    The Facility Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) or (g) above without further verification.

(b)    the Borrower shall promptly upon written request, supply the Facility Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Finnvera Agent with information (in a form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent, Hermes Agent and Finnvera Agent) regarding the status of the amendments to be entered into in accordance with paragraph (a) above;

        Page 81

shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent); and

(d)    at the same time as any relevant Restricted Credit Enhancement is provided to the relevant Pari Passu Creditor (other than a Restricted Credit Enhancement granted in accordance with Section 7.2.9(a)(ii)), the Borrower, any other relevant Group Member and the Lenders shall enter into such documentation as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent to ensure that the Lenders benefit from that Restricted Credit Enhancement on the same terms as the relevant Pari Passu Creditor(s) and, where that Restricted Credit Enhancement is a Lien or a Group Member Guarantee, to share in that Lien or Group Member Guarantee on a pari passu basis (and the Lenders agree to enter into such intercreditor documentation to reflect such pari passu ranking (in a form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders (acting reasonably)) as may be required in connection with such arrangements).

Any changes which may need to be made under such shipbuilding contracts on or after April 1, 2020 shall be negotiated by the Borrower in good faith and on a best efforts basis so that the Borrower shall not unreasonably, unduly or without prior consultation with the Builder, delay or postpone the payment of pre-delivery instalments or the delivery of passenger cruise ships, in each case, under such shipbuilding contracts and the Borrower shall work together with the Builder to resolve any crisis-related vessel construction delays. Without prejudice to such requirement of the Borrower to negotiate in good faith and on a best efforts basis, this Section 7.1.10 shall be subject to any amendment to any such shipbuilding contract, option agreement, contract or other related document if such amendment has, in consultation with the Hermes Agent (acting on the instructions of Hermes) or the Finnvera Agent (acting on the instructions of Finnvera) (as the case may be), been agreed between the Borrower or, as the case may be, relevant Subsidiary and the Builder.

SECTION 7.2.5. Additional Undertakings

From the effectiveness of Amendment Number Two, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out in this Agreement or any other Loan Document:

(a)    First Priority Guarantee Matters. Until the occurrence of a First Priority Release Event:

        Page 88

(i)    the Borrower will not form, create, acquire or otherwise establish any new Subsidiaries that own, directly or indirectly, the Equity Interests of the First Priority Guarantor (and will not permit any such new Subsidiary to own, directly or indirectly, any such Equity Interests);

(ii)    the First Priority Guarantor will not form, create, acquire or otherwise establish any new Subsidiaries that own, directly or indirectly, the Equity Interests of any Principal Subsidiary (and will not permit any such new Subsidiary to own, directly or indirectly, any such Equity Interests);

(x)    $250,000,000 plus

(y)    the fair market value of any asset (other than (1) current assets, intercompany debt or equity instruments and (2) First Priority Assets or other assets owned by another First Priority Guarantor immediately prior to acquisition) acquired by any First Priority Guarantor after the effectiveness of Amendment Number Two; or

(C)    if the net proceeds therefrom are applied in accordance with Section 4.09(b)(i) or 4.09(b)(iii) of the Secured Note Indenture, to the extent applicable

        Page 89

at such time; provided, however, that if, within 450 days of such Disposition, any net proceeds of such Disposition have not been utilized in accordance with such provisions and are retained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary after such application (such retained net proceeds, "Excess Proceeds"), then:

(1)    if not already held by a First Priority Guarantor, such Excess Proceeds shall be promptly transferred to a First Priority Guarantor to be (x) retained in an account and on the balance sheet of that First Priority Guarantor and (y) used solely (i) for capital expenditures for the benefit of the remaining First Priority Assets or for the purposes of any asset purchase by that First Priority Guarantor or (ii) to make an offer to each ECA Guarantor in accordance with the following sub-clause (2); or

If any ECA Guarantor provides written notice to the Borrower within 90 days of such offer accepting such offer, the Borrower shall prepay the relevant Indebtedness notified to it within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as may be agreed with the lenders under each relevant ECA Financing being prepaid) of the date of receipt of such notice. If any ECA Guarantor fails to accept such offer within the said 90 days referred to above, then the pro rata portion of such Excess Proceeds that would have been applied to prepay the ECA Financings with respect to such ECA Guarantor if such offer was accepted shall be retained and applied in accordance with the foregoing sub-clause (1)(i).

(B)    if the fair market value thereof, together with the fair market value of all other Dispositions of Second Priority Assets made after the effectiveness of Amendment Number Two (but for this purpose excluding any Disposition of the type referred to in the foregoing clause (A)) is less than the sum of:

(x)    $250,000,000 plus

(y)    the fair market value of any asset (other than (1) current assets, intercompany debt or equity instruments and (2) Second Priority Assets or other assets owned by another Second Priority Guarantor immediately prior to acquisition) acquired by any Second Priority Guarantor after the effectiveness of Amendment Number Two.

(e)    Further Assurances. At the Borrower's reasonable request, the Facility Agent shall execute (i) any Additional Subordination Agreement or any Subordination Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit N or Exhibit O with such changes, or otherwise in form and substance, reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders) to ensure the required priority of the Second Priority Guarantee and the Third Priority Guarantee and (ii) any New Guarantor Subordination Agreement contemporaneously with the execution of any Senior Guarantee by a New Guarantor if such New Guarantor has granted an Additional Guarantee at such time.

(f)    Amount of Indebtedness. The Borrower shall ensure that:

(i)    the maximum aggregate principal amount of Bank Indebtedness (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) guaranteed by the Second Priority Guarantors shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $5,300,000,000 (or its equivalent

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

in any other currency) until the occurrence of a First Priority Release Event, a Second Priority Release Event, and a Third Priority Release Event;

(ii)    the maximum aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Note Indebtedness and DDTL Indebtedness (or any Permitted Refinancing of either of them), in each case, guaranteed by the Third Priority Guarantor shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $1,700,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) until the occurrence of a Third Priority Release Event;

2

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

Date, the Borrower shall be entitled, by serving written notice on the Facility Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Finnvera Agent, to request that the Guarantee Release Date be postponed until such time as the Borrower is satisfied that it will be able to comply with the provisions of the said Section 7.2.2.

(A)    the surviving corporation shall have assumed in writing, delivered to the Facility Agent, all of the Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;

(B)    the surviving corporation shall, promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent or any Lender in order for the Facility Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations; and

3

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

(C)    as soon as practicable after receiving notice from the Borrower of such merger, and in any event no later than five Business Days after the delivery of such notice, for a surviving corporation that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof or Liberia, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such surviving corporation, either directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender (a "Protesting Lender") shall so notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Borrower shall, effective on or before the date that such surviving corporation shall have the right to borrow hereunder, notify the Facility Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated; provided that such Protesting Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan owing to such Protesting Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Protesting Lender under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.2.7. Asset Dispositions, etc.

Subject to Section 7.2.5, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer, contribute or otherwise convey, or grant options, warrants or other rights with respect to, all or substantially all of the assets of (a) the Borrower or (b) the Subsidiaries of the Borrower, taken as a whole, except sales of assets between or among the Borrower and Subsidiaries of the Borrower.

SECTION 7.2.8. Construction Contract

The Borrower will not amend or modify any term or condition of the Construction Contract if such amendment or modification results in (i) a change of type of the Purchased Vessel or (ii) (either by itself or when aggregated with earlier amendments or modifications, if any) a decrease in the capacity of the Purchased Vessel in terms of the number of passengers and/or staterooms by more than five per cent (5%) or (iii) the Purchased Vessel being unable to comply with applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) if, in the reasonable opinion of each of Finnvera and the Hermes Agent, such inability has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i)    subject to the limitations set out in paragraph (b) below, this paragraph (a) shall not prohibit any Group Member from providing any Lien or Group Member Guarantee in connection with Indebtedness incurred after February 19, 2021 (provided that such Lien and/or Group Member Guarantee is issued at the same time, and in connection with, the initial incurrence of that Indebtedness (and is therefore not by way of additional credit support));

(ii)    in connection with a Permitted Refinancing of any Indebtedness, the relevant Group Member shall be entitled to provide the creditors under that Permitted Refinancing with Liens and/or Group Member Guarantees (as applicable) which:

(A)    in the case where the existing Indebtedness being refinanced was previously supported by Liens, the Liens and/or the Group Member Guarantees securing or supporting the Permitted Refinancing (as applicable) are over some or all of the same assets and:

(1)     with respect to any Liens, are with the same or lower priority as the Liens in respect of such assets that secured the Indebtedness being refinanced; and

(2)     with respect to any Group Member Guarantees, are Group Member Guarantees provided by a Group Member that owns (directly or indirectly) only those Vessels (or some of those Vessels but not any other Vessel) that were previously secured pursuant to the Liens referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (A); and

(B)    in the case where the existing Indebtedness being refinanced was previously supported by any Group Member Guarantee, the Group Member Guarantee(s) supporting such Permitted Refinancing are:

(1)    guarantees of obligations in an amount no greater than the guarantees granted in connection with the original Indebtedness being refinanced;

(2)    in the case where the entity providing the relevant Group Member Guarantee(s) supporting such Permitted Refinancing is the same entity providing the Group Member Guarantees that are being replaced, provided by entities owning (directly or indirectly) only those Vessels (or some of those Vessels but not any other Vessel) that it owned when the previous Group Member Guarantee was provided;

(3)    in the case where the entity providing the relevant Group Member Guarantee(s) supporting such Permitted Refinancing differs from the entity providing the Group Member Guarantees being replaced, provided by entities that directly or indirectly own Vessels with an aggregate book value no greater than the Vessels that were owned (directly or indirectly) by the previous provider of the

5

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

relevant Group Member Guarantee(s) that supported the existing Indebtedness; and

(4)    the same or lower priority as the original Group Member Guarantee(s) and are issued by either the same entities or from shareholders of those entities,

this paragraph (a) shall not prohibit any Group Member from providing or maintaining any Lien in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2.3(e) through to (s) inclusive, provided, however, that the proviso at the end of Section 7.2.3(e) shall apply with respect to Liens granted pursuant to that provision; and

(b)    incur any new Indebtedness (including Indebtedness of the type referred to in paragraph 7.2.9(a)(i) above but excluding any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in connection with paragraph 7.2.9(a)(ii) above) which is secured by a Lien or is supported by a Group Member Guarantee and which, when taken with all other Indebtedness incurred by the Group since February 19, 2021 and which is also secured by a Lien or supported by a Group Member Guarantee, is greater than $1,300,000,000 (but deducting from this amount for this purpose, (i) the amount of any additional Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower in connection with the drawing of the DDTL Indebtedness (whether pursuant to the accordion option or otherwise) or (ii) any Indebtedness borrowed in lieu of the drawing of the DDTL Indebtedness in the foregoing clause) or its equivalent in any other currency, and provided that no Group Member shall, as contemplated by the proviso to Section 7.2.3, from February 19, 2021 until the Guarantee Release Date (whereupon the relevant provisions of Exhibit R shall apply) be permitted to grant any Lien over an ECA Financed Vessel as security for any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Agreement after February 19, 2021.

SECTION 7.3. Covenant Replacement. With effect on and from the Guarantee Release Date, it is agreed that Sections 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the covenants and other provisions set out in Exhibit R, which shall become part of this Agreement and effective and binding on all parties hereto.

SECTION 7.4. Borrower's Procurement Undertaking

Where any of the covenants set out in this Agreement require or purport to require performance by a Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall procure the performance of that obligation by such Guarantor or Subsidiary.

SECTION 7.5. Limitation in respect of Certain Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The representations and warranties and covenants given in Section 6.4(b) and Section 7.1.3(f) respectively shall only be given, and be applicable to, a Lender resident in the Federal Republic of Germany insofar as the giving of and compliance with such representations and warranties do not result in a violation of or conflict with section 7 of the German Foreign Trade Regulation (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung) (in conjunction with section 4 paragraph 1 a no.3 foreign trade law (AWG) (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz)), any provision of Council Regulation (EC) 2271/1996 in conjunction with (EU) 2018/1100 or any similar applicable anti-boycott law or regulation.

ARTICLE X
THE FACILITY AGENT, THE HERMES AGENT AND THE MANDATED LEAD ARRANGERS

SECTION 10.1. Actions

Each Lender hereby appoints KfW IPEX, as Facility Agent and as Hermes Agent, as its agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document (for purposes of this Article X, the Facility Agent and the Hermes Agent are referred to collectively as the "Agents"). Each Lender authorises the Agents to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Majority Lenders received from time to time by the Agents (with respect to which each Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Article X or as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent shall be obliged to act on the instructions of any Lender or the Majority Lenders if to do so would, in the opinion of such Agent, be contrary to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to any law, or would expose such Agent to any actual or potential liability to any third party or would in the reasonable opinion of such Agent be contrary to any provision of the Finnvera Guarantee, the Hermes Insurance Policy or the Second Finnvera Guarantee (as the case may be) or in any way jeopardise the cover provided by such guarantee or policy.

SECTION 10.2. Indemnity

Each Lender (other than FEC) shall indemnify (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) each Agent, pro rata according to such Lender's Percentage (or, where the Percentage of any Lender differs as between Commitments, its Percentage across all Commitments), from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against, such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement 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 such Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by such Agent 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 such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Agent, any Lender or a third party. Neither Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless it is expressly required to do so under this Agreement or is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favour of an Agent shall be or become, in such Agent's

16

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

determination, inadequate, such Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION 10.3. Funding Reliance, etc..

Each Lender shall notify the Facility Agent by 4:00 p.m., Frankfurt time, one day prior to the advance of the Loan if it is not able to fund the following day. Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 4:00 p.m., Frankfurt time, on the day prior to the advance of the Loan that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage(s) of the Loan on the date specified therefor, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Facility Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may, but shall not be obliged to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Facility Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Facility Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loan without premium or penalty.

The Facility Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders, provided that any such resignation (i) shall be subject to the

17

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

restrictions in the FEC Supplemental Assignment Agreement and (ii) shall not become effective until a successor Facility Agent has been appointed as provided in this Section 10.5 and such successor Facility Agent has accepted such appointment. If the Facility Agent at any time shall resign, the Majority Lenders shall, subject to the immediately preceding proviso and subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint another Lender as a successor to the Facility Agent which shall thereupon become such Facility Agent's successor hereunder (provided that the Majority Lenders shall, subject to the consent of the Borrower unless an Event or Default or a Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) offer to each of the other Lenders in turn, in the order of their respective Percentages (being, in the case of any Lender whose Percentages differ as between Commitments, its Percentage across all Commitments) of the Loan, the right to become successor Facility Agent). If no successor Facility Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the Facility Agent's giving notice of resignation, then the Facility Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Facility Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies), subject, in each case, to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Facility Agent hereunder by a successor Facility Agent, such successor Facility Agent shall be entitled to receive from the resigning Facility Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Facility Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Facility Agent, and the resigning Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any resigning Facility Agent's resignation hereunder as the Facility Agent, the provisions of:

(a)    this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and

(b)    Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

If a Lender acting as the Facility Agent assigns its Loan to one of its Affiliates, such Facility Agent may, subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign its rights and obligations as Facility Agent to such Affiliate.

SECTION 10.6. Loans by the Facility Agent

The Facility Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Loan made by it or any of its Affiliates. The Facility Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if the Facility Agent were not the Facility Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 10.7. Credit Decisions

Each Lender also

18

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

acknowledges that it will, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 10.8. Copies, etc.

Each Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to such Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower).

SECTION 10.9. The Agents' Rights

Each Agent may (i) assume that all representations or warranties made or deemed repeated by the Obligors in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and complete, unless, in its capacity as the Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (ii) assume that no Default has occurred unless, in its capacity as an Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (iii) rely on any document or notice believed by it to be genuine, (iv) rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it, (v) rely as to any factual matters which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the Borrower on a certificate signed by or on behalf of the Borrower and (vi) refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to the manner of its exercise by the Lenders (or, where applicable, by the Majority Lenders) and unless and until such Agent has received from the Lenders any payment which such Agent may require on account of, or any security which such Agent may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain in complying with those instructions.

SECTION 10.10. The Facility Agent's Duties

The Facility Agent shall (i) if requested in writing to do so by a Lender, make enquiry and advise the Lenders as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Obligor or as to the existence of an Event of Default and (ii) inform the Lenders promptly of any Event of Default of which the Facility Agent has actual knowledge.

The Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed repeated by the Obligors or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Default unless a Lender or the Borrower shall have given written notice thereof to the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent. Any information acquired by the Facility Agent other than specifically in its capacity as the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to be information acquired by the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent.

The Facility Agent may, without any liability to account to the Lenders, generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower or with the Borrower's subsidiaries or associated companies or with a Lender as if it were not the Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.13. Reimbursement

The Facility Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to a Lender until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Facility Agent does pay any sum to a Lender on account of any amount prospectively due to that Lender pursuant to Section 10.12 before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Facility Agent does not in fact receive payment within two (2) Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, that Lender will, on demand by the Facility Agent, refund to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Facility Agent for any amount which the Facility Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that amount was required to be paid by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and ending on the date on which the Facility Agent receives reimbursement.

SECTION 10.14. Instructions

Where an Agent is authorised or directed to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders or of the Majority Lenders (as the case may be) each of the Lenders shall provide such Agent with instructions within five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as is required in the opinion of Hermes or Finnvera (as the case may be) in order for the Lenders to receive instructions from Hermes and/or Finnvera (as the case may be)) of such Agent's request (which request may be made orally or in writing). If a Lender does not provide such Agent with instructions within that period, that Lender shall be bound by the decision of such Agent. Nothing in this Section 10.14 shall limit the right of such Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders if such Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. In that event, such Agent will notify the Lenders of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Lenders agree to ratify any action taken by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Section 10.14.

SECTION 11.4. Indemnification

In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Lender and the extension of the Commitments, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Facility Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defence in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense (i) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or wilful misconduct or the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Credit Support Documents and which breach is not attributable to the Borrower's own breach of the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Credit Support Documents or (ii) relates to taxes other than Covered Taxes. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. Each Indemnified Party shall (a) furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Section 11.4, (b) not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower's prior consent, (c) shall cooperate fully in the Borrower's defence of any such action, suit or other claim (provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto) and (d) at the Borrower's request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defence of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, provided that (i) the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to

24

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims, (ii) the Borrower shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defence of such claim, (iii) the Borrower shall consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defence of such claim, (iv) the Borrower shall conduct the defence of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Borrower's expense, and (vi) the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either (A) such settlement involves only the payment of a monetary sum, does not include any performance by or an admission of liability or responsibility on the part of the Indemnified Party, and contains a provision unconditionally releasing the Indemnified Party and each other indemnified party from, and holding all such persons harmless, against, all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party or (B) the Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the Borrower's election to assume the defence of such action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defence of such action and the Borrower shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and determined that it is necessary to employ separate counsel in order to pursue such defences (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defence of such action on the Indemnified Party's behalf), (iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (iv) the Borrower authorises the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower's expense. The Borrower acknowledges that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 11.5. Survival

The obligations of the Borrower under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 11.3 and 11.4 and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.1, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations.

SECTION 11.6. Severability; Independence of Obligations

Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining

Assignments or transfers in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (or, if less, all of such Lender's portion of the Loan and Commitment) (which assignment or transfer shall, other than in the case of any portion of the Fifth Amendment Upsize Commitment, be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such Lender's portion of the Loan) are permitted; provided that the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned or transferred to an Assignee Lender or a Transferee Lender (as the case may be) until:

(a)    written notice of such assignment or transfer, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Facility Agent by such Lender and such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender;

Except to the extent resulting from a subsequent change in law, in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay to any Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no such assignment or transfer been made. Such assignor Lender, transferor Lender or such Assignee Lender or Transferee Lender (unless a party to an FEC Transfer Certificate under which FEC is the transferee) must also pay a processing fee to the Facility Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate in the amount of $2,000 (and shall also reimburse the Facility Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the assignment or transfer).

(i)    FEC or the Transferring Lender (as applicable) will assume the rights and obligations of the Existing Lender in connection with (i) the FEC Loan in the relevant FEC Transfer Certificate or (ii) any portion of the Loan in the relevant Transfer Certificate by way of novation in substitution for the Existing Lender; and

(ii)    the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and cease to have those rights.

(C)    Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(ii)    the financial condition of the Borrower;

(iii)    the performance and observance by the Borrower of its     obligations under the Loan Documents; or

(ii)    will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Loan Documents or any Commitment is in force.

(c)    Nothing in any Loan Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)    accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Section 11.11.1 except in the case of an FEC Reassignment; or

(ii)    support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents or otherwise, save where Lenders are obliged to reimburse FEC for any Break Costs.

(e)    the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold; and

(a)    If the provisions of Section 3.2.2(b), 3.2.2(c) or 9.1.10(C) apply (and having regard to clause (b) below), the Facility Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders (or, in the case of Section 3.2.2(b) or 3.2.2(c), any affected Lender) shall discuss in good faith (but without obligation) for a period (the "Mitigation Period") of not less than, in the case of Sections 3.2.2(b) and 3.2.2(c), 50 days and, in the case of Section 9.1.10(C), 30 days (and which in the case of Section 3.2.2(b) and 3.2.2(b) shall commence on the first day of the 50-day period referred to in those respective Sections and, in the case of Section 9.1.10(C), shall run concurrently with the 30 day period referred to in that Section or, concurrently with the three (3) month grace period applicable in the case of a suspension of the Hermes Insurance Policy ) after (x) in the case of Section 3.2.2(b) and 3.2.2(c), the date on which the Illegality Notice is given or (y) in the case of Section 9.1.10(C), the date such Section becomes applicable, as the case may be:

(i)    in the case of Section 3.2.2(b) or 3.2.2(c), what steps may be open to the relevant Lender to mitigate or remove such circumstances (including, without limitation, the possibility of assigning the Lender's Commitment to an Affiliate or another Lending Office); and

(ii)    in the case of Section 9.1.10(C), the circumstances in which Section 9.1.10(C) has become applicable and whether there are any steps or actions which can be taken to remove the effect of the circumstances as

38

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

described in such Section and/or reinstate or replace the Hermes Insurance Policy.

If the provisions of Section 3.2.2(b) or 3.2.2(c) apply, if requested by the Borrower, the affected Lender shall, without limiting such Lender's obligation to enter into discussions as set forth above in this Section 11.20(a), use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer its Affected Commitment or its portion of the Loan, as the case may be, to one or more third parties at par during the Mitigation Period in the manner contemplated by Section 3.2.2(b) or (c) as relevant.

(b)    To the extent required by or considered necessary by any party to this Agreement, the Lenders (and, in the case of Section 3.2.2(b) or 3.2.2(c), any affected Lender) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include the Finnish Authorities and Hermes in all foregoing discussions.

(c)    If an Illegality Notice shall be given by any Lender during the period falling 20 days prior to the Actual Delivery Date, the affected Lender will use all reasonable efforts to accelerate the mitigation steps of the type described or to be discussed pursuant to this Section to try and enable the Commitment of such Lender to still be available for drawing by the Borrower two (2) Business Days prior to the Actual Delivery Date in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 11.21. Modification and/or Discontinuation of Benchmarks.

(a)    If a Screen Rate Replacement Event has occurred then, promptly thereafter, the Facility Agent and the Borrower will enter into negotiations with a view to amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar US dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks where such negotiations will take into account the then current market standards and will be conducted with a view to reducing or eliminating, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one party to another party (any such proposed rate, a "Benchmark Successor Rate"), together with any proposed Benchmark Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day after the Facility Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Facility Agent written notice that such Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such Benchmark Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Facility Agent, such Benchmark Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Facility Agent.

(b)    If no Benchmark Successor Rate has been determined and either (x) the circumstances set out in paragraph (a) of the definition of "Screen Rate Replacement Event" in Section 1.1 exist or (y) the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, the Facility Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain the Loan shall be suspended and (ii) the Screen Rate shall no longer be utilised in determining the LIBO Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending Loan Request.

39

2191745.02D-NYCSR03A - MSW

(c)    Until such time as a Benchmark Successor Rate and Benchmark Successor Rate Conforming Changes have been determined and agreed and without prejudice to the obligation of the parties to enter into negotiations with a view to determining or agreeing a Benchmark Successor Rate pursuant to paragraph (a) above, for any Interest Period starting after the Screen Rate Replacement Event, the LIBO Rate shall be replaced by the weighted average of the rates notified to the Facility Agent by each Lender five Business Days prior to the first day of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost the relevant Lender would have of funding an amount equal to its participation in the Loan during the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select. If such amount is less than zero, it shall be deemed to be zero.

(d)    The Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) and the Borrower shall, during the period between 1 April 2021 and 31 December 2022, enter into negotiations in good faith with a view to agreeing a basis upon which a Benchmark Successor Rate can be used in replacement of the Screen Rate, together with any associated Benchmark Successor Rate Conforming Changes, and a timetable for the implementation of these changes so that the appropriate changes can be made prior to the Scheduled Unavailability Date.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Benchmark Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Benchmark Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(f)    Section 3.3.6 shall not apply following the occurrence of a Screen Rate Replacement Event.

(g)    Where paragraph (a) above applies, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the Facility Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by the Facility Agent in responding to, evaluating, negotiating or complying with the requirements set out in that paragraph.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this ICON 2 Hull No. 1401 Credit Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorised as of the day and year first above written.

each reference to the Existing Credit Agreement, however so defined, in the applicable Existing Loan Documents from and after the date hereof shall mean the applicable Amended Credit Agreement and agree that (i) all references in the Existing Loan Documents to specific sections of the applicable Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the sections of the applicable Amended Credit Agreement which contain the corresponding condition precedent, representation, covenant, notice, default or event of default or other provision, as amended, as applicable, included in such section of the applicable Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) the definition of each term defined by reference to the applicable Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the definition of such term set forth in the applicable Amended Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the definitions of the terms “Obligations” and “Loans” (notwithstanding any reference to the specific amount of the Obligations or Loans in the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the Existing Loan Documents); and

In connection with the determination of Stockholders’ Equity for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2023 or, if later, the last full Fiscal Quarter to end prior to the 4.25% Maturity Date, the Borrower hereby undertakes that it will act in good faith and will provide to the Administrative Agent no later than March 25, 2023 or, if later, no later than 6 days prior to the end of the last full Fiscal Quarter to end prior to the 4.25% Maturity Date written confirmation of the actual amount of 4.25% Converted Debt it has elected to settle (i) in equity, (ii) in cash and (iii) in cash generated from equity issued for the purpose of settling the 4.25% Converted Debt obligation in cash, together with copies of all notices of conversion provided to the noteholders pursuant to section 14.02 of the 4.25% Convertible Notes Indenture.

and accordingly with effect from the date of the NDCR Adjustment Consent the Borrower will instead not permit the Net Debt to Capitalization Ratio, as at the end of any Fiscal Quarter, to be greater than the applicable level set forth in the Further Revised NDCR Table. Where each of Hermes and Finnvera issues the NDCR Adjustment Consent the Facility Agent shall communicate such consent promptly to the other parties to this Agreement;

For the purposes of this paragraph c., “Starting Threshold” shall mean, for the Fiscal Quarter:

i.    up to and ending on March 31, 2023, $3,000,000,000;

ii.    ending on June 30, 2023, $3,250,000,000;

v.    ending on March 31, 2024, $4,000,000,000; and

vi.    ending on June 30, 2024 and for each Fiscal Quarter falling after June 30, 2024, $4,150,000,000.

In connection with the determination of Stockholders’ Equity for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2023 or, if later, the last full Fiscal Quarter to end prior to the 4.25% Maturity Date, the Borrower hereby undertakes that it will act in good faith and will provide to the Facility Agent no later than March 25, 2023 or, if later, no later than 6 days prior to the end of the last full Fiscal Quarter to end prior to the 4.25% Maturity Date written confirmation of the actual amount of 4.25% Converted Debt it has elected to settle (i) in equity, (ii) in cash and (iii) in cash generated from equity issued for the purpose of settling the 4.25% Converted Debt obligation in cash, together with copies of all notices of conversion provided to the noteholders pursuant to section 14.02 of the 4.25% Convertible Notes Indenture.

(a)    Net Debt to Capitalisation Ratio, as at the end of any Fiscal Quarter, to be greater than the applicable level set forth in the table below (the “NDCR Table”) opposite such Fiscal Quarter under the below heading “Net Debt to Capitalisation Ratio”:

13

Fiscal Quarter Ending	Net Debt to Capitalisation Ratio*
December 31, 2022	0.750 to 1 (for financial reporting purposes only)
March 31, 2023	0.725 0.725 to 1
June 30, 2023	0.700 0.725 to 1
September 30, 2023	0.675 0.700 to 1

Where Hermes issues the NDCR Adjustment Consent the Facility Agent shall communicate such consent promptly to the other parties to this Agreement;

(b)    the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.25 to 1 as at the last day of any Fiscal Quarter; and

For the purposes of this paragraph c., “Starting Threshold” shall mean, for the Fiscal Quarter:

(i)    up to and ending on March 31, 2023, $3,000,000,000;

(ii)    ending on June 30, 2023, $3,250,000,000;

In connection with the determination of Stockholders’ Equity for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2023 or, if later, the last full Fiscal Quarter to end prior to the 4.25% Maturity Date, the Borrower hereby undertakes that it will act in good faith and will provide to the Facility Agent no later than March 25, 2023 or, if later, no later than 6 days prior to the end of the last full Fiscal Quarter to end prior to the 4.25% Maturity Date written confirmation of the actual amount of 4.25% Converted Debt it has elected to settle (i) in equity, (ii) in cash and (iii) in cash generated from equity issued for the purpose of settling the 4.25% Converted Debt obligation in cash, together with copies of all notices of conversion provided to the noteholders pursuant to section 14.02 of the 4.25% Convertible Notes Indenture.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

General

Note 1. General

Description of Business 

We are a global cruise company. We own and operate three global cruise brands: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises (collectively, our "Global Brands"). We also own a 50% joint venture interest in TUI Cruises GmbH ("TUIC"), which operates the German brands TUI Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises (collectively, our "Partner Brands"). We account for our investments in our Partner Brands under the equity method of accounting. Together, our Global Brands and our Partner Brands have a combined fleet of 63 ships as of June 30, 2022. Our ships offer a selection of worldwide itineraries that call on more than 1,000 destinations on all seven continents.

Management's Plan and Liquidity

During 2021, we restarted our global cruise operations in a phased manner, following our voluntary suspension of global cruise operations that commenced in March of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have steadily increased the number of ships that have returned to service, with our full fleet in service as of June 30, 2022. Our operations incorporate our enhanced health and safety protocols, including vaccination protocols.

Since the start of the pandemic, we have implemented a number of proactive measures to mitigate the financial and operational impacts of COVID-19 and manage our liquidity. As part of our liquidity management, we rely on the estimation of our future liquidity requirements, which includes numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The principal assumptions used to estimate our future liquidity requirements consist of:

•Continued cruise operations and expected timing of cash collections for cruise bookings;

•Expected increase in revenue per available passenger cruise day;

•Expected increase in occupancy levels over time until we reach historical occupancy levels; and

•Inflationary increase to our operating costs, mostly impacting the expected cost of fuel and food.

As of June 30, 2022, we had liquidity of $3.3 billion, including $0.5 billion of undrawn revolving credit facility capacity, $2.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and a $0.7 billion commitment for a 364-day term loan facility available to draw on at any time prior to August 12, 2022. Our revolving credit facilities were mostly utilized through a combination of amounts drawn and letters of credit issued under the facilities as of June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with our financial covenants and we estimate we will be in compliance for the next twelve months. In July 2022, we amended our non-export-credit facilities and export credit facilities plus committed export-credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements. Refer to Note 7. Debt for further information regarding our debt facilities and credit card processing agreements, including related covenants.

In June of 2023, approximately $3.2 billion of long- term debt will become due. Accordingly, in addition to our $3.3 billion liquidity as of June 30, 2022, in February 2022 we entered into certain agreements with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC (“MS”) where MS agreed to provide backstop committed financing to refinance, repurchase and/or repay in whole or in

part our existing and outstanding 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, 9.125% Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes due 2023 (the "Priority Guaranteed Notes"), and 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2023. Pursuant to the agreements, we may, at our sole option, issue and sell to MS (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) five-year senior unsecured notes with gross proceeds of up to $3.15 billion at any time between April 1, 2023 and June 29, 2023, to refinance the aforementioned notes.

Based on our assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19 and our resumption of operations, as well as our present financial condition, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to fund our obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Additionally, we will continue to pursue various opportunities to raise additional capital to fund obligations associated with future debt maturities and/or to extend the maturity dates associated with our existing indebtedness or facilities. Actions to raise capital may include issuances of debt, convertible debt or equity in private or public transactions or entering into new or extended credit facilities.

If the Company is unable to comply with the applicable financial covenants, including maintaining the applicable minimum liquidity requirement, it could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods reported herein. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any items discussed in the notes below. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Estimates are required for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with these principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate entities over which we have control, usually evidenced by a direct ownership interest of greater than 50%, and variable interest entities where we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 6. Other Assets for further information regarding our variable interest entities. For affiliates we do not control but over which we have significant influence on financial and operating policies, usually evidenced by a direct ownership interest from 20% to 50%, the investment is accounted for using the equity method.

Effective March 19, 2021, we sold our wholly-owned brand, Azamara Cruises ("Azamara"), including its three-ship fleet and associated intellectual property, to Sycamore Partners for $201 million, subject to closing adjustments. The March 2021 sale of Azamara did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, as we continue to provide similar itineraries to and source passengers from the markets served by the Azamara business. Therefore, the sale of Azamara did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations reporting. Effective March 19, 2021, we no longer consolidate Azamara's balance sheet nor recognize its results of operations in our consolidated financial statements. We recognized an immaterial gain on the sale during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and have agreed to provide certain transition services to Azamara for a period of time for a fee.

Prior to October 1, 2021, we consolidated the operating results of Silversea Cruises on a three-month reporting lag to allow for more timely preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Effective October 1, 2021, we eliminated the three- month reporting lag to reflect Silversea Cruises' financial position, results of operations and cash flows concurrently and consistently with the fiscal calendar of the Company ("elimination of the Silversea reporting lag"). The elimination of the Silversea reporting lag represents a change in accounting principle which we believe to be preferable because it provides more current information to the users of our financial statements. A change in accounting principle requires retrospective application, if material. The impact of the elimination of the reporting lag was immaterial to prior periods and was immaterial for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, we have accounted for this change in accounting principle in our consolidated results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the results of Silversea Cruises from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 and from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 are included in our consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The results of Silversea Cruises from January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021 and from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 are included in our consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU") No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") or for convertible debt issued at a substantial premium. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, permitting more contracts to qualify for it. In addition, the guidance eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The guidance also decreases interest expense due to the reversal of the remaining non-cash convertible debt discount. On January 1, 2022, we adopted this pronouncement using the modified retrospective approach to recognize our convertible notes as single liability instruments given they do not qualify as derivatives under ASC 815, nor were they issued at a substantial premium. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2022, we recorded a $161.4 million increase to debt, primarily as a result of the reversal of the remaining non-cash convertible debt discount, as well as a reduction of $307.6 million to additional paid in capital, which resulted in a cumulative effect on adoption of approximately $146.2 million to increase retained earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB") issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Subsequently, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which presents amendments to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance in both ASUs was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. The impact, if any, will be dependent on the terms of any future contract modifications related to a change in reference rate.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenues

Note 3. Revenues

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are measured based on consideration specified in our contracts with customers and are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

The majority of our revenues are derived from passenger cruise contracts which are reported within Passenger ticket revenues in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Our performance obligation under these contracts is to provide a cruise vacation in exchange for the ticket price. We satisfy this performance obligation and recognize revenue over the duration of each cruise, which generally ranges from two to 25 nights.

Passenger ticket revenues include charges to our guests for port costs that vary with passenger head counts. These type of port costs, along with port costs that do not vary by passenger head counts, are included in our cruise operating expenses. The amounts of port costs charged to our guests and included within Passenger ticket revenues on a gross basis were $236.2 million and $3.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $313.1 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Our total revenues also include Onboard and other revenues, which consist primarily of revenues from the sale of goods and services onboard our ships that are not included in passenger ticket prices. We receive payment before or concurrently with the transfer of these goods and services to cruise passengers and recognize revenue over the duration of the related cruise.

As a practical expedient, we have omitted disclosures on our remaining performance obligations as the duration of our contracts with customers is less than a year.

Disaggregated Revenues

The following table disaggregates our total revenues by geographic regions where we provide cruise itineraries (in thousands):

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Revenues by itinerary
North America (1)	$	1,344,043	$	11,632	$	2,233,130	$	11,632

Total revenues	$	2,184,242	$	50,914	$	3,243,473	$	92,928

(1)Includes the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

(2) Includes seasonality impacted itineraries primarily in South and Latin American countries.

(3) Includes revenues primarily related to cancellation fees, vacation protection insurance, pre- and post-cruise tours and fees for operating certain port facilities. Amounts also include revenues related to procurement and management related services we perform on behalf of our unconsolidated affiliates. Refer to Note 6. Other Assets for more information on our unconsolidated affiliates.

Passenger ticket revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on where the reservation originates. For the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our guests were sourced from the following areas:

	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Passenger ticket revenues:
United States	78	%	44	%
Singapore	2	%	54	%
All other countries (1)	20	%	2	%

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Passenger ticket revenues:
United States	80	%	23	%
Singapore	3	%	61	%
China	1	%	15	%
All other countries (1)	16	%	1	%

(1)No other individual country's revenue exceeded 10% for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Customer Deposits and Contract Liabilities

Our payment terms generally require an upfront deposit to confirm a reservation, with the balance due prior to the cruise. Deposits received on sales of passenger cruises are initially recorded as Customer deposits in our consolidated balance sheets and subsequently recognized as passenger ticket revenues or onboard revenues during the duration of the cruise. ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, defines a “contract liability” as an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration from the customer. We do not consider customer deposits to be a contract liability until the customer no longer retains the unilateral right, resulting from the passage of time, to cancel such customer's reservation and receive a full refund. Customer deposits presented in our consolidated balance sheets include contract liabilities of $1.9 billion and $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

We have provided flexibility to guests with bookings on sailings cancelled due to COVID-19 by allowing guests to receive future cruise credits (“FCC”). As of June 30, 2022, our customer deposit balance includes approximately $0.6 billion of unredeemed FCCs. Given the uncertainty of travel demand caused by COVID-19 and lack of comparable historical experience of FCC redemptions, we are unable to estimate the number of FCCs that will not be used in future periods and get recognized as breakage. We will update our breakage analysis as future information is received.

Contract Receivables and Contract Assets

Although we generally require full payment from our customers prior to their cruise, we grant credit terms to a relatively small portion of our revenue sourced in select markets outside of the United States. As a result, we have outstanding receivables from passenger cruise contracts in those markets. We also have receivables from credit card merchants for cruise ticket purchases and goods and services sold to guests during cruises that are collected before, during or shortly after the cruise voyage. In addition, we have receivables due from concessionaires onboard our vessels. These receivables are included within Trade and other receivables, net in our consolidated balance sheets.

We have contract assets that are conditional rights to consideration for satisfying the construction services performance obligations under a service concession arrangement. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our contract assets were $118.9 million and $52.9 million, respectively, and were included within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Given the short duration of our cruises and our collection terms, we do not have any other significant contract assets.

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

Prepaid travel advisor commissions are an incremental cost of obtaining contracts with customers that we recognize as an asset and include within Prepaid expenses and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Prepaid travel advisor commissions were $119.4 million as of June 30, 2022 and $75.4 million as of December 31, 2021. Substantially all of our prepaid travel advisor commissions at December 31, 2021 were expensed and reported primarily within Commissions, transportation and other in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Note 4. (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Quarter Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Net (Loss) for basic and diluted loss per share	$	(521,582)	$	(1,347,255)	$	(1,688,724)	$	(2,478,977)
Weighted-average common shares outstanding	254,964		254,577		254,893		248,823
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	254,964		254,577		254,893		248,823
Basic (loss) per share	$	(2.05)	$	(5.29)	$	(6.63)	$	(9.96)
Diluted (loss) per share	$	(2.05)	$	(5.29)	$	(6.63)	$	(9.96)

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing Net Loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of potentially dilutive securities. As we had net losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, all potential common shares were determined to be antidilutive, resulting in the same basic and diluted net loss per share amounts for these periods. There were approximately 23,526,181 and 23,597,611 antidilutive shares for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 445,000 and 449,000 for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2022, ASU 2020-06 eliminated the treasury stock method and instead required the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share when the instruments may be settled in cash or shares. Under the if-converted method, shares related to our convertible notes, to the extent dilutive, are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period. The required use of the if-converted method did not impact our diluted net loss per share as the Company was in a net loss position. For further information regarding the adoption of ASU 2020-06, refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Note 5. Property and Equipment

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we determined that certain construction in progress projects would be reduced in scope or would no longer be completed due to the impact COVID-19 has had to our operations. This led to an impairment of $40.6 million of construction in progress assets previously reported in Property and equipment, net. This impairment charge was reported within Impairment and credit losses (recoveries) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

In January 2022 and April 2022, we took delivery of Wonder of the Seas and Celebrity Beyond, respectively. Refer to Note 7. Debt for further information on the financing for Wonder of the Seas and Celebrity Beyond.

In July 2022, we purchased a ship for our Silversea Cruises brand for $275.0 million, plus transaction fees. The ship is expected to enter service during the fourth quarter of 2022. For information regarding the financing of the ship, refer to Note 7. Debt.

Other Assets [Abstract]

Other Assets

Note 6. Other Assets

A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which the equity investors have not provided enough equity to finance the entity’s activities or the equity investors: (1) cannot directly or indirectly make decisions about the entity’s activities through their voting rights or similar rights; (2) do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; (3) do not have the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (4) have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the entity’s activities involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

We have determined that TUI Cruises GmbH ("TUIC"), our 50%-owned joint venture, which operates the brands TUI Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, is a VIE. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of TUIC. We believe that the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact TUIC’s economic performance is shared between ourselves and TUI AG, our joint venture partner. All the significant operating and financial decisions of TUIC require the consent of both parties, which we believe creates shared power over TUIC. Accordingly, we do not consolidate this entity and account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

As of June 30, 2022, the net book value of our investment in TUIC was $365.0 million, primarily consisting of $258.6 million in equity and a loan of €95.2 million, or approximately $99.5 million based on the exchange rate at June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the net book value of our investment in TUIC was $444.4 million, primarily consisting of $322.4 million in equity and a loan of €103.0 million, or approximately $117.2 million based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2021. The loan, which was made in connection with the sale of Splendour of the Seas in April 2016, accrues interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum and is payable over 10 years. This loan is 50% guaranteed by TUI AG and is secured by a first priority mortgage on the ship. The majority of these amounts were included within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we and TUI AG each contributed €59.5 million, or approximately $69.9 million based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2021, of additional equity through a combination of cash contributions and conversion of existing receivables.

TUIC has various ship construction and financing agreements which include certain restrictions on each of our and TUI AG’s ability to reduce our current ownership interest in TUI Cruises below 37.55% through May 2033. Our investment amount and outstanding term loan are substantially our maximum exposure to loss in connection with our investment in TUIC.

We have determined that Grand Bahama Shipyard Ltd. ("Grand Bahama"), a ship repair and maintenance facility in which we have a 40% noncontrolling interest, is a VIE. This facility serves cruise and cargo ships, oil and gas tankers and offshore units. We utilize this facility, among other ship repair facilities, for our regularly scheduled drydocks and certain emergency repairs as may be required. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, we made payments of $4.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively to Grand Bahama for ship repair and maintenance services compared to payments of $2.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of this facility as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the facility’s economic performance. Accordingly, we do not consolidate this entity.

Our loan to Grand Bahama matures March 2026 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% to 3.75%, capped at 5.75%. Interest payable on the loan is due on a semi-annual basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received principal and interest payments of $8.9 million related to a term loan that had fully matured. We did not receive principal and interest payments during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we had exposure to credit loss in Grand Bahama of $10.7 million related to the loan. The outstanding loan balance is in non-accrual status and is included within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we are currently recognizing our share of net accumulated equity method losses against the carrying value of our loan receivable from Grand Bahama. We monitor credit risk associated with the loan through

our participation on Grand Bahama’s board of directors along with our review of Grand Bahama’s financial statements and projected cash flows. 

The following tables set forth information regarding our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, including the entities discussed above (in thousands):

Credit Losses

We reviewed our notes receivable for credit losses in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. In evaluating the allowance, management considered factors such as historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. Based on these credit loss estimation factors, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a net credit loss recovery of $10.6 million primarily resulting from cash collections received on a note receivable, in which credit losses were previously recorded. Our credit loss allowance beginning and ending balances as of January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022 primarily relate to credit losses recognized on notes receivable for the previous sale of our property and equipment of $81.6 million and other receivable balances primarily related to loans due from travel advisors of $12.6 million.

(1) Interest rates based on outstanding loan balance as of June 30, 2022 and, for variable rate debt, include either LIBOR or EURIBOR plus the applicable margin.

(2) Includes $1.9 billion facility and $1.3 billion facility, the vast majority of which is due in 2024. Our $1.9 billion facility accrues interest at LIBOR plus a maximum interest rate margin of 1.30% which interest was 3.09% as of June 30, 2022 and is subject to a facility fee of a maximum of 0.20%. Our $1.3 billion facility accrues interest at LIBOR plus a maximum interest rate margin of 1.70%, which interest was 3.49% as of June 30, 2022 and is subject to a facility fee of a maximum of 0.30%.

(3) At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate for total debt was 6.09% and 5.47%, respectively.

In January 2022, we took delivery of Wonder of the Seas. To finance the delivery, we borrowed a total of $1.3 billion under a credit agreement novated to us upon delivery of the ship in January 2022, resulting in an unsecured term loan which is 100% guaranteed by Bpifrance Assurance Export ("BpiFAE"), the official export credit agency ("ECA") of France. The unsecured loan amortizes semi-annually over 12 years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.18% per annum.

In January 2022, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes (the "January 2022 Unsecured Notes") due in 2027 for net proceeds of approximately $990.0 million. Interest accrues on the January 2022 Unsecured Notes at a fixed rate of 5.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears. The proceeds from the January 2022 Unsecured Notes are being used to repay principal payments on debt maturing in 2022 (including to pay fees and expenses in connection with such repayments) and have been temporarily applied to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.

In February 2022, we entered into certain agreements with MS where MS agreed to provide backstop committed financing to refinance, repurchase and/or repay in whole or in part our existing and outstanding 10.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, Priority Guaranteed Notes and 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2023. Pursuant to the agreements, we may, at our sole option, issue and sell to MS (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) five-year senior unsecured notes with gross proceeds of up to $3.15 billion at any time between April 1, 2023 and June 29, 2023, to refinance the aforementioned notes.

In April 2022, we took delivery of Celebrity Beyond. To finance the delivery, we borrowed a total of €0.7 billion under a credit agreement novated to us upon delivery of the ship in April 2022, resulting in an unsecured term loan which is 100%

guaranteed by BpiFAE. The unsecured loan amortizes semi-annually over 12 years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.28% per annum.

In July 2022, we purchased a ship for our Silversea Cruises brand. To finance the purchase, we borrowed $277 million, which is 95% guaranteed by Euler Hermes Aktiengesellschaft (“Hermes”), the official export credit agency of Germany. The loan amortizes semi-annually over 15 years and bears interest at a floating rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 1.25%. Principal payments to the lender will commence in July 2024 and the loan will mature in July 2037.

Our export credit facilities and our non-export credit facilities have an outstanding principal amount of approximately $13.1 billion as of June 30, 2022. These facilities contain covenants that require us, among other things, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25x and limit our net debt-to-capital ratio, and under certain facilities, to maintain a minimum shareholders' equity. In 2021, we amended our non-export credit facilities and export credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements, to extend the waiver of our financial covenants through and including at least the third quarter of 2022, and subsequently in the third quarter of 2021, we entered into a letter agreement to extend the waiver period for our export credit facilities to the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. Further, in July 2022, we amended our non-export-credit facilities and export credit facilities, and certain credit card processing agreements. Among other things, the amendments modified the levels at which our net debt to capitalization covenant will be tested during the period commencing immediately following the end of the waiver period and continuing through the end of 2025 and the amount of minimum shareholders' equity required to be maintained through 2025. The amendments impose a monthly-tested minimum liquidity covenant of $350.0 million, which in the case of the non-export credit facilities terminates at the end of the waiver period and in the case of the export credit facilities terminates either in July 2025, or when we pay off all deferred amounts, whichever is earlier. In addition, the amendments to the non-export credit facilities place restrictions on paying cash dividends and effectuating share repurchases through the end of the third quarter of 2022, while the export credit facility amendments require us to prepay any deferred amounts if we elect to issue dividends or complete share repurchases.

As of June 30, 2022, our aggregate revolving borrowing capacity was $3.2 billion and was mostly utilized through a combination of amounts drawn and letters of credits issued under the facilities. Certain of our surety agreements with third party providers for the benefit of certain agencies and associations that provide travel related bonds, allow the sureties to request collateral. We also have agreements with our credit card processors relating to customer deposits received by us for future voyages. These agreements allow the credit card processors to require us, under certain circumstances, to maintain a reserve that can be satisfied by posting collateral. As of June 30, 2022, we have posted letters of credit as collateral with our sureties and credit card processors under our revolving credit facilities in the amount of $111.9 million.

Executed amendments are in place for the majority of our credit card processors, waiving reserve requirements tied to the breach of our financial covenants through at least September 30, 2022, with modified covenants thereafter, and as such, we do not anticipate any incremental collateral requirements for the processors covered by these waivers in the next 12 months. We have a reserve with a processor where the agreement was amended in the first quarter of 2021, such that proceeds are withheld in reserve, until the sailing takes place or the funds are refunded to the customer. The maximum projected exposure with the processor, including amounts currently withheld and reported in Trade and other receivables, is approximately $309.6 million. The amount and timing are dependent on future factors that are uncertain, such as the value of future deposits and whether we transfer our business to other processors. If we require additional waivers on the credit card processing agreements and are not able to obtain them, this could lead to the termination of these agreements or the trigger of reserve requirements.

Except for the term loans we incurred to acquire Celebrity Flora and Silver Moon, all of our unsecured ship financing term loans are guaranteed by the export credit agency in the respective country in which the ship is constructed. For the majority of the loans as of June 30, 2022, we pay to the applicable export credit agency, depending on the financing agreement, an upfront fee of 2.35% to 5.48% of the maximum loan amount in consideration for these guarantees. We amortize the fees that are paid upfront over the life of the loan. We classify these fees within Amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior to the loan being drawn, we present these fees within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Once the loan is drawn, such fees are classified as a discount to the related loan, or contra-liability account, within Current portion of long-term debt or long-term debt.

The following is a schedule of annual maturities on our total debt, net of debt issuance costs of $417.9 million, and including finance leases, as of June 30, 2022 for each of the next five years (in thousands):

Year	As of June 30, 2022 (1)

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Note 8. Leases

Operating Leases

Our operating leases primarily relate to preferred berthing arrangements, real estate and shipboard equipment, and are included within Operating lease right-of-use assets, and Long-term operating lease liabilities with the current portion of the liability included within Current portion of operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our operating leases include Silver Explorer, operated by Silversea Cruises. The operating lease for Silver Explorer will expire in 2023.

For some of our real estate leases and berthing agreements, we do have the option to extend our current lease term. For those lease agreements with renewal options, the renewal periods for real estate leases range from one to 10 years and the renewal periods for berthing agreements range from one to 20 years. Generally, we do not include renewal options as a component of our present value calculation for berthing agreements. However, for certain real estate leases, we include them.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rates based on LIBOR and U.S. Treasury note rates corresponding to lease terms increased by the Company’s credit risk spread and reduced by the estimated impact of collateral. In addition, we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. However, for berthing agreements, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Finance Leases

Our finance leases primarily relate to buildings and surrounding land located at our Miami headquarters, our Silver Dawn, and Silver Whisper ships. Finance leases are included within Property, and Equipment, net, and Long-term debt with the current portion of the liability included within Current portion of long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In June 2019, the Company entered into a new master lease agreement (“Master Lease”) with Miami-Dade County related to the buildings and surrounding land located at our Miami headquarters, which has been classified as a finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. In January of 2022, we executed a modification to the Master Lease to extend the expiration of the lease from 2072 to 2074, which continues to include the two five-year options to extend the lease. We continue to consider the probability of exercising the two five-year options as reasonably certain. The modification of the Master Lease did not change the classification of the lease. The total aggregate amount of the finance lease liabilities recorded for this Master Lease was $100.9 million and $127.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Silversea Cruises operates Silver Dawn under a sale-leaseback agreement with a bargain purchase option at the end of the 15-year lease term. Due to the bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term in 2036, whereby Silversea Cruises is reasonably certain of obtaining ownership of the ship, Silver Dawn is accounted for as a finance lease. The lease includes other purchase options beginning in year three, none of which are reasonably certain of being exercised at this time. The total aggregate amount of finance lease liabilities recorded for this ship was $274.3 million and $283.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Silversea Cruises operates the Silver Whisper under a finance lease. The finance lease for Silver Whisper will expire in 2023, subject to an option to purchase the ship. Additionally, certain scheduled payments have been deferred and are reflected in Long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The total aggregate amount of the finance lease liabilities recorded for this ship was $16.6 million and $24.1 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The lease payments on the Silver Whisper are subject to adjustments based on the LIBOR rate.

In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we have an agreement in place with Chantiers de l'Atlantique to build an additional Edge-class ship for delivery in 2025, which is contingent upon completion of conditions precedent and financing.

As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate cost of our ships on order presented in the table above, excluding any ships on order by our Partner Brands, was approximately $9.4 billion, of which we had deposited $0.6 billion as of such date. Approximately 61.7% of the aggregate cost was exposed to fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate at June 30, 2022. Refer to Note 12. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments for further information.

Litigation

As previously reported, two lawsuits were filed against us in August 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Court") under Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, also known as the Helms-Burton Act. The complaint filed by Havana Docks Corporation ("Havana Docks Action") alleges it holds an interest in the Havana Cruise Port Terminal, and the complaint filed by Javier Garcia-Bengochea (the "Port of Santiago Action") alleges that he holds an interest in the Port of Santiago, Cuba, both of which were expropriated by the Cuban government. The complaints further allege that we trafficked in those properties by embarking and disembarking passengers at these facilities. The plaintiffs seek all available statutory remedies, including the value of the expropriated property, plus interest, treble damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Court dismissed the Port of Santiago Action with prejudice on the basis that the plaintiff lacked standing, and the plaintiff’s appeal of the dismissal is awaiting a decision by the appellate court. In the Havana Docks Action, the Court granted summary judgement in favor of the plaintiff as to liability and a trial on damages has been scheduled for September 2022. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims alleged in both the Havana Docks Action and the Port of Santiago Action, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against them. Given that the outcome of the litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, there can be no assurances that the final outcome of either case will not be material, and we cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the litigation.

We are routinely involved in claims typical within the cruise vacation industry. The majority of these claims are covered by insurance. We believe the outcome of such claims, net of expected insurance recoveries, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations and cash flows.

Other

Some of the contracts that we enter into include indemnification provisions that obligate us to make payments to the counterparty if certain events occur. These contingencies generally relate to changes in taxes, increased lender capital costs and other similar costs. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business. There are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses and we are not able to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these indemnification clauses. We have not been required to make any payments under such indemnification clauses in the past and, under current circumstances, we do not believe an indemnification in any material amount is probable.

If any person acquires ownership of more than 50% of our common stock or, subject to certain exceptions, during any 24-month period, a majority of our board of directors is no longer comprised of individuals who were members of our board of directors on the first day of such period, we may be obligated to prepay indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities, which we may be unable to replace on similar terms. Our debt securities also contain change of control provisions that would be triggered by a third-party acquisition of greater than 50% of our common stock coupled with a ratings downgrade. If this were to occur, it would have an adverse impact on our liquidity and operations.

Equity [Abstract]

Shareholders' Equity

Note 10. Shareholders' Equity

On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach to recognize our convertible notes as single liability instruments. As a result of the adoption of this pronouncement, the cumulative effect to Shareholders' equity was a reduction of $161.4 million. For further information regarding the entry recorded and the adoption of ASU 2020-06, refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Common Stock Issued

During March 2021, we issued 16.9 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $91.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $1.5 billion from the sale of our common stock, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Dividends

During the second quarter of 2020, we agreed with certain of our lenders not to pay dividends or engage in common stock repurchases for so long as our debt covenant waivers are in effect. In addition, in the event we declare a dividend or engage in share repurchases, we will need to repay the amounts deferred under our export credit facilities. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not declare dividends. Pursuant to amendments made to these agreements during the first quarter of 2021, the restrictions on paying cash dividends and effectuating share repurchases were extended through and including the third quarter of 2022.

Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments

Note 12. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments 

Fair Value Measurements

The estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not measured at fair value, categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy, are as follows (in thousands): 

	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2022										Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021
Description	Total Carrying Amount		Total Fair Value		Level 1(1)		Level 2(2)		Level 3(3)		Total Carrying Amount		Total Fair Value		Level 1(1)		Level 2(2)		Level 3(3)

(1) Inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

(2) Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the liability, either directly or indirectly. For unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loans, fair value is determined utilizing the income valuation approach. This valuation model takes into account the contract terms of our debt such as the debt maturity and the interest rate on the debt. The valuation model also takes into account the creditworthiness of the Company.

(3) Inputs that are unobservable. The Company did not use any Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(4) Consists of cash and marketable securities with original maturities of less than 90 days.

(5) Consists of unsecured revolving credit facilities, senior notes, term loans and convertible notes. These amounts do not include our finance lease obligations or commercial paper.

Other Financial Instruments 

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest and accrued expenses approximate fair value at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents information about the Company’s financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2022								Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021
Description	Total		Level 1(1)		Level 2(2)		Level 3(3)		Total		Level 1(1)		Level 2(2)		Level 3(3)

(1)Inputs based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

(2)Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. For foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and fuel swaps, fair value is derived using valuation models that utilize the income valuation approach. These valuation models take into account the contract terms, such as maturity, as well as other inputs, such as foreign exchange rates and curves, fuel types, fuel curves and interest rate yield curves. Derivative instrument fair values take into account the creditworthiness of the counterparty and the Company.

(3)Inputs that are unobservable. No Level 3 inputs were used in fair value measurements of Other financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(4)Consists of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and fuel swaps. Refer to the "Fair Value of Derivative Instruments" table for breakdown by instrument type.

(5) Consists of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and fuel swaps. Refer to the "Fair Value of Derivative Instruments" table for breakdown by instrument type.

The reported fair values are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, or that will be realized in the future, and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement.

Nonfinancial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Nonfinancial instruments include items such as goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, right-of-use assets and equity method investments that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events and circumstances indicate the carrying value is not recoverable. The following table presents information about the Company’s nonfinancial instruments recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021
Description	Total Carrying Amount	Total Fair Value	Level 3	Total Impairment for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 (1)
Long-lived assets	—	—	—	55,213
Total	—	—	—	55,213

(1) Amount is primarily composed of construction in progress assets that were impaired during the year ended 2021 due to a reduction in scope or the decision to not complete the projects. The impairments were calculated based on orderly liquidation values. The fair value of these assets was estimated as of the date the assets were last impaired.

There were no nonfinancial instruments recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2022.

Master Netting Agreements

We have master International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements in place with our derivative instrument counterparties. These ISDA agreements generally provide for final close out netting with our counterparties for all positions in the case of default or termination of the ISDA agreement. We have determined that our ISDA agreements provide us with rights of setoff on the fair value of derivative instruments in a gain position and those in a loss position with the same counterparty. We have elected not to offset such derivative instrument fair values in our consolidated balance sheets.

See Credit Related Contingent Features for further discussion on contingent collateral requirements for our derivative instruments.

The following table presents information about the Company’s offsetting of financial assets under master netting agreements with derivative counterparties (in thousands):

	Gross Amounts not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet that are Subject to Master Netting Agreements

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We monitor our credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which we conduct significant business, and to minimize these risks, we select counterparties with credit risks acceptable to us and we seek to limit our exposure to an individual counterparty. Credit risk, including, but not limited to, counterparty nonperformance under derivative instruments, our credit facilities and new ship progress payment guarantees, is not considered significant, as we primarily conduct business with large, well-established financial institutions, insurance companies and export credit agencies many of which we have long-term relationships with and which have credit risks acceptable to us or where the credit risk is spread out among a large number of counterparties. As of June 30, 2022, we had counterparty credit risk exposure under our derivative instruments of $144.3 million, which was limited to the cost of replacing the contracts in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the contracts, the majority of which are currently our lending banks. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our significant counterparties. In addition, we have established guidelines we follow regarding credit ratings and instrument maturities to maintain safety and liquidity. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support credit relationships; however, in certain circumstances this option is available to us.

Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to market risk attributable to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and fuel prices. We try to mitigate these risks through a combination of our normal operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments pursuant to our hedging practices and policies. The financial impact of these hedging instruments is primarily offset by corresponding changes in the underlying exposures being hedged. We achieve this by closely matching the notional amount, term and conditions of the derivative instrument with the underlying risk being hedged. Although certain of our derivative financial instruments do not qualify or are not accounted for under hedge accounting, our objective is not to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. 

We enter into various forward, swap and option contracts to manage our interest rate exposure and to limit our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and fuel prices. These instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value and

the vast majority are designated as hedges. We also use non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of our net investment in our foreign operations and investments.

At inception of the hedge relationship, a derivative instrument that hedges the exposure to changes in the fair value of a firm commitment or a recognized asset or liability is designated as a fair value hedge. A derivative instrument that hedges a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows related to a recognized asset or liability is designated as a cash flow hedge.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges are offset against changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. The foreign currency transaction gain or loss of our non-derivative financial instruments and the changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations and investments are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss along with the associated foreign currency translation adjustment of the foreign operation or investment. In certain hedges of our net investment in foreign operations and investments, we exclude forward points from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and we amortize the related amounts directly into earnings.

On an ongoing basis, we assess whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are "highly effective" in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow of hedged items. For our net investment hedges, we use the dollar offset method to measure effectiveness. For all other hedging programs, we use the long-haul method to assess hedge effectiveness using regression analysis for each hedge relationship. The methodology for assessing hedge effectiveness is applied on a consistent basis for each one of our hedging programs (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency ship construction, foreign currency net investment and fuel). For our regression analyses, we use an observation period of up to three years, utilizing market data relevant to the hedge horizon of each hedge relationship. High effectiveness is achieved when a statistically valid relationship reflects a high degree of offset and correlation between the changes in the fair values of the derivative instrument and the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or hedge accounting is discontinued, any change in fair value of the derivative since the last date at which it was determined to be effective is recognized in earnings.

Cash flows from derivative instruments that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. In the event that hedge accounting is discontinued, cash flows subsequent to the date of discontinuance are classified within investing activities. Cash flows from derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are classified as investing activities. 

We consider the classification of the underlying hedged item’s cash flows in determining the classification for the designated derivative instrument’s cash flows. We classify derivative instrument cash flows from hedges of benchmark interest rate or hedges of fuel expense as operating activities due to the nature of the hedged item. Likewise, we classify derivative instrument cash flows from hedges of foreign currency risk on our newbuild ship payments as investing activities.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our debt obligations, including future interest payments. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 71.3% and 65.7%, respectively, of our debt was effectively fixed-rate debt. We use interest rate swap agreements to modify our exposure to interest rate movements and to manage our interest expense.

Market risk associated with our fixed-rate debt is the potential increase in fair value resulting from a decrease in interest rates. We use interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert a portion of our fixed-rate debt to a floating-rate basis to manage this risk. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we maintained interest rate swap agreements on the following fixed-rate debt instruments:

Debt Instrument	Swap Notional as of June 30, 2022 (in thousands)		Maturity	Debt Fixed Rate	Swap Floating Rate: LIBOR plus	All-in Swap Floating Rate as of June 30, 2022
Unsecured senior notes	650,000		November 2022	5.25%	3.63%	5.04%
	$	650,000

These interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as fair value hedges.

We use interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert a portion of our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis to manage the market risk of increasing interest rates. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we maintained interest rate swap agreements on the following floating-rate debt instruments:

Debt Instrument	Swap Notional as of June 30, 2022 (in thousands)		Maturity	Debt Floating Rate		All-in Swap Fixed Rate
Celebrity Reflection term loan	$	136,354	October 2024	LIBOR plus	0.40%	2.85%
Quantum of the Seas term loan	275,625		October 2026	LIBOR plus	1.30%	3.74%
Anthem of the Seas term loan	302,083		April 2027	LIBOR plus	1.30%	3.86%
Ovation of the Seas term loan	415,000		April 2028	LIBOR plus	1.00%	3.16%
Harmony of the Seas term loan (1)	362,440		May 2028	EURIBOR plus	1.15%	2.26%
Odyssey of the Seas term loan (2)	402,500		October 2032	LIBOR plus	0.96%	3.21%
Odyssey of the Seas term loan (2)	191,667		October 2032	LIBOR plus	0.96%	2.84%
	$	2,085,669

(1)Interest rate swap agreements hedging the Euro-denominated term loan for Harmony of the Seas include EURIBOR zero-floor matching the hedged debt EURIBOR zero-floor. Amount presented is based on the exchange rate as of June 30, 2022.

(2)Interest rate swap agreements hedging the term loan of Odyssey of the Seas include LIBOR zero-floors matching the debt LIBOR zero-floor. The effective dates of the $402.5 million and $191.7 million interest rate swap agreements are October 2020 and October 2022, respectively. The unsecured term loan for the financing of Odyssey of the Seas was drawn on March 2021.

These interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements related to outstanding debt as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Derivative Instruments

Our primary exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk relates to our ship construction contracts denominated in Euros, our foreign currency denominated debt and our international business operations. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage portions of the exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate cost of our ships on order was $9.4 billion, of which we had deposited $0.6 billion as of such date. These amounts do not include any ships placed on order that are contingent upon completion of conditions precedent and/or financing and any ships on order by our Partner Brands. Refer to Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on our ships on order. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately 61.7% and 59.0%, respectively, of the aggregate cost of the ships under construction was exposed to fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate. Our foreign currency forward contract agreements are accounted for as cash flow or net investment hedges depending on the designation of the related hedge.

On a regular basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and, from time to time, we utilize cross-currency swap agreements and collar options to minimize the volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than our functional currency or the functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. During the second quarter of 2022, we maintained an average of approximately $1.3 billion of these foreign currency forward contracts. These instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. For the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts resulted in a (loss) gain of $(80.9) million and $0.5 million, respectively, which offset gains arising from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in those same periods of $78.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These amounts were recognized in earnings within Other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts resulted in losses of $87.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively, which offset gains arising from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in those same periods of $85.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively. These amounts were recognized in earnings within Other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts, excluding the forward contracts entered into to minimize remeasurement volatility, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $2.0 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.

Non-Derivative Instruments

We consider our investment in our foreign operations to be denominated in relative stable currencies and to be of a long-term nature. We address the exposure of our investments in foreign operations by denominating a portion of our debt in our subsidiaries’ and investments’ functional currencies and designating it as a hedge of these subsidiaries and investments. We had designated debt as a hedge of our net investments primarily in TUI Cruises of €315.0 million, or approximately $329.3 million, as of June 30, 2022. As of

December 31, 2021, we had designated debt as a hedge of our net investments in TUI Cruises of €97.0 million, or approximately $110.3 million.

Fuel Price Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in fuel prices relates primarily to the consumption of fuel on our ships. We use fuel swap agreements to mitigate the financial impact of fluctuations in fuel prices.

Our fuel swap agreements are generally accounted for as cash flow hedges. In the case that our hedged forecasted fuel consumption is not probable of occurring, hedge accounting will be discontinued and the related accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss will be reclassified to Other income (expense) immediately. For hedged forecasted fuel consumption that remains possible of occurring, hedge accounting will be discontinued and the related accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss will remain in accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings or the related hedged forecasted fuel consumption is deemed probable of not occurring.

Prior suspension of our cruise operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and our gradual resumption of cruise operations has resulted in reductions to our forecasted fuel purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting on 48 thousand metric tons of our fuel swap agreements maturing in 2021, which resulted in the reclassification of a net $4.4 million loss from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other income (expense). For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not discontinue cash flow hedge accounting on any of our fuel swap agreements. Changes in the fair value of fuel swaps for which cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued are currently recognized in Other income (expense) each reporting period through the maturity dates of the fuel swaps.

Future suspension of our operations or modifications to our itineraries may affect our expected forecasted fuel purchases which could result in further discontinuance of fuel swap cash flow hedge accounting and the reclassification of deferred gains or losses from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. Refer to Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A. for further discussion on risks related to COVID-19.

At June 30, 2022, we have hedged the variability in future cash flows for certain forecasted fuel transactions occurring through 2023. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had the following outstanding fuel swap agreements:

	Fuel Swap Agreements

Credit Related Contingent Features

Our current interest rate derivative instruments require us to post collateral if our Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s credit ratings fall below specified levels. Specifically, under most of our agreements, if on the fifth anniversary of executing a derivative instrument, or on any succeeding fifth-year anniversary, our credit ratings for our senior unsecured debt is rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor’s and Baa3 by Moody’s, then the counterparty will periodically have the right to demand that we post collateral in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the net market value of all derivative transactions with such counterparty that have reached their fifth year anniversary, to the extent negative, and (ii) the applicable minimum call amount.

The amount of collateral required to be posted will change as, and to the extent, our net liability position increases or decreases by more than the applicable minimum call amount. If our credit rating for our senior unsecured debt is subsequently equal to or above BBB- by Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 by Moody’s, then any collateral posted at such time will be released to us and we will no longer be required to post collateral unless we meet the collateral trigger requirement, generally, at the next fifth-year anniversary.

As of June 30, 2022, our senior unsecured debt credit rating was B by Standard & Poor's and B2 by Moody's. As of June 30, 2022, six of our interest rate derivative hedges had reached their fifth-year anniversary; however, our net market value for these derivative hedges are in a net asset position, accordingly, we were not required to post any collateral as of such date. We expect that we will not need to provide additional collateral under these agreements in the next twelve months.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis for Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods reported herein. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any items discussed in the notes below. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Estimates are required for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with these principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.

Basis of Consolidation

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate entities over which we have control, usually evidenced by a direct ownership interest of greater than 50%, and variable interest entities where we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 6. Other Assets for further information regarding our variable interest entities. For affiliates we do not control but over which we have significant influence on financial and operating policies, usually evidenced by a direct ownership interest from 20% to 50%, the investment is accounted for using the equity method.

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU") No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") or for convertible debt issued at a substantial premium. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, permitting more contracts to qualify for it. In addition, the guidance eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The guidance also decreases interest expense due to the reversal of the remaining non-cash convertible debt discount. On January 1, 2022, we adopted this pronouncement using the modified retrospective approach to recognize our convertible notes as single liability instruments given they do not qualify as derivatives under ASC 815, nor were they issued at a substantial premium. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2022, we recorded a $161.4 million increase to debt, primarily as a result of the reversal of the remaining non-cash convertible debt discount, as well as a reduction of $307.6 million to additional paid in capital, which resulted in a cumulative effect on adoption of approximately $146.2 million to increase retained earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB") issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Subsequently, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which presents amendments to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance in both ASUs was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. The impact, if any, will be dependent on the terms of any future contract modifications related to a change in reference rate.
