Re:Amendment to Employment Agreement
Dear Robin:
You are a party to an Employment Agreement dated as of October 18, 2015 by and among you and NCL (Bahamas) Ltd. (the “Company”) (the “Employment Agreement”). This letter agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of the date hereof, constitutes an amendment of the Employment Agreement. Unless otherwise stated, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall be as defined in the Employment Agreement.
1.Continuation of Employment
The Period of Employment is extended through and, unless otherwise agreed by the parties and subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5 of the Employment Agreement, will end on December 31, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Period of Employment is subject to earlier termination as provided in the Employment Agreement. During the Period of Employment, you shall continue to serve the Company as Executive Vice President, Vessel Operations until such date that the Company hires a successor for such role.

For the avoidance of doubt, the accelerated vesting provisions contained in this Agreement do not apply to any restricted share units that are outstanding on the date of this Agreement.
Any acceleration of vesting pursuant to the preceding paragraph due to the termination of your employment with the Company by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, by the Company due to your Disability, or upon a termination of your employment on the Separation Date shall be subject to the condition that you sign a general release agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached to the Employment Agreement (with such amendments that may be necessary to ensure the
