4.Consulting Term.

A.Beginning on July 1, 2023 and continuing through December 31, 2025 (the “Consulting Term”), Executive agrees to serve as a Senior Advisor to the Board and to provide consulting services to the Board including providing support and advice on strategies related to newbuilds, interactions with shipyards and financial industry representatives, potential mergers and acquisitions and other strategic matters that may arise for the Company and consulting on trends and emerging innovations in the cruise industry (the “Consulting Services”).

The Consulting Term may be extended by written amendment to this Agreement that is signed by both the Company and the Executive.

The Consulting Services will be performed at such times as are reasonably requested by the Board after reasonable consultation with Executive. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his status at all times during the Consulting Term shall be that of an independent contractor, and that Executive shall have the right to control and determine the method and means of performing the Consulting Services. Executive hereby waives any rights to

be treated as an employee or deemed employee of the Company or any of its affiliates for any purpose during the Consulting Term.

C.Executive may choose to terminate the Consulting Services at any time prior to the end of the Consulting Term, or any renewal thereof, by notice to the Board. The Company may choose to terminate the Consulting Services by notice to the Executive at any time prior to the end of the Consulting Term, or any renewal thereof, for Cause. In the event that the Consulting Services are terminated for Cause by the Company or by the Executive for any reason, the Consulting Term shall terminate immediately and Executive shall not be eligible for any additional compensation or benefits hereunder.

5.Compliance with Protective Covenants. Executive hereby agrees to comply with all of the protective covenants set forth in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement following the Separation Date.

7.Certain Defined Terms. As used herein, “Cause” shall mean, as reasonably determined by the majority of the members of the Board based on the information then known to the Board, that one or more of the following has occurred:

A.the Executive has committed a felony (under the laws of the United States or any relevant state, or a similar crime or offense under the applicable laws of any relevant foreign jurisdiction), other than through vicarious liability not related to the Company or any of its affiliates that has resulted in material injury to the financial interests or reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates;
B.the Executive has engaged in acts of fraud, dishonesty or other acts of willful misconduct that has resulted in material injury to the financial interests or reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates;
C.the Executive willfully fails to perform or uphold Executive’s duty to provide the Consulting Services under this Agreement, provided that there has been delivered to the Executive a written demand for performance of the Consulting Services from the Board and the Executive fails to provide such Consulting Services within ten (10) days of receiving such written notice thereof;

D.any material breach by the Executive of the provisions of Section 6, or any material breach by the Executive of any other contract he is a party to with the Company or any of its affiliates; or

9.Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable under any present or future law, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction; furthermore, in lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Photographic or other electronic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.
11.Successors. This Agreement is personal to Executive and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, be assignable by Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its respective successors and assigns and any such successor or assignee shall be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. As used herein, “successor” and “assignee” shall include any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger, acquisition of assets, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires the ownership of the Company, acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or to which the Company assigns this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

12.Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW AND, TO THE EXTENT NOT PREEMPTED BY UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAW OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW AND, TO THE EXTENT NOT PREEMPTED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY.
13.Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of such provisions or affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
