**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On March 30, 2026, CoreWeave Compute Acquisition Co. VIII, LLC ("CCAC VIII" or the "Borrower"), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect subsidiary of CoreWeave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with MUFG Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as collateral agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as depository bank, MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc., as coordinating lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the lenders party thereto, providing for an $8.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility (the "DDTL 4.0 Facility"). The DDTL 4.0 Facility was entered into primarily to finance capital expenditures required to perform a customer contract, including the acquisition of GPU servers and related infrastructure.

*Availability and Maturity*

The DDTL 4.0 Facility provides for delayed draw term loans available in one or more draws until the commitment termination date in June 2027. The maturity date of the DDTL 4.0 Facility is March 31, 2032.

*Interest Rate and Fees*

Amounts borrowed under the DDTL 4.0 Facility are subject to an interest rate per annum equal to, (a) with respect to floating rate loans, (i) for SOFR loans, daily compounded SOFR (subject to a 0.00% floor) plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum, and (ii) for base rate loans, the base rate (determined by reference to the highest of (A) the prime rate, (B) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (C) daily simple SOFR plus 1.00%) (subject to a 0.00% floor), plus an applicable margin of 1.25% per annum, and (b) with respect to fixed rate loans, 2.00% per annum plus a blended rate based upon the United States Treasury security with a constant maturity most nearly equal to but less than a weighted average life of 3.14 years. The DDTL 4.0 Facility provides for payment of, among others, undrawn fees in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum on the actual daily undrawn portion of the DDTL 4.0 Facility, which undrawn fees are payable monthly in arrears.

*Guarantees and Security*

All obligations under the DDTL 4.0 Facility are guaranteed by the Parent on a limited recourse basis for specified "bad acts" pursuant to a limited guarantee, dated as of March 30, 2026, by the Parent for the benefit of the lenders (the "Limited Guarantee"), and all obligations under the DDTL 4.0 Facility are also unconditionally guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Borrower pursuant to the collateral agreement. All obligations under the DDTL 4.0 Facility are secured by substantially all assets of CCAC VIII and its subsidiaries and a pledge of 100% of the equity interests in CCAC VIII held by CCAC VIII Holdco LLC.

*Covenants*

The Borrower is required to comply with the following financial covenants, among others described in the Credit Agreement:

*Debt Service Coverage Ratio*. Beginning the first full calendar month after the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which the commitments are reduced to zero and (b) June 30, 2027, the Borrower is required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.15x.

*Certain Other Covenants and Events of Default.* The DDTL 4.0 Facility contains a number of other customary negative covenants, and the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, failure to perform or observe covenants, cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness, a change of control, and certain bankruptcy events. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default related to certain adverse events with respect to certain material contracts.

The foregoing summary of the DDTL 4.0 Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Credit Agreement and the Limited Guarantee, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 2.12</u>, the affected Floating Rate Lender shall designate a different lending office with respect to its SOFR Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Floating Rate Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Floating Rate Lender.

<u>Section 2.13.</u><u>Increased Costs</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in <u>clauses (b)</u> through <u>(d)</u> of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities, or capital attributable thereto; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to the Borrower or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in connection therewith (but only to the extent the applicable Lender is imposing such charges or additional amounts on other similarly situated borrowers under credit facilities comparable to the Facilities).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Loans made by such Lender or as a consequence of the Commitments to make any of the foregoing, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered in connection therewith (but only to the extent the applicable Lender is imposing such charges or additional amounts on other similarly situated borrowers under credit facilities comparable to the Facilities).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in <u>Sections 2.13(a)</u> or <u>2.13(b)</u> shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this <u>Section 2.13</u>, such Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. 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 <u>Section 2.13</u> for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; *provided further* that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

<u>Section 2.14.</u><u>Funding Losses</u>*.* The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any actual out-of-pocket loss (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any lost profits or similar loss) or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Floating Rate Delayed Draw Loan after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Borrowing Request or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with this Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)the prepayment of a SOFR Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the conversion pursuant to <u>Section 2.05</u> of any SOFR Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its SOFR Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this <u>Section 2.14</u>, each SOFR Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at Daily Compounded SOFR used in determining the interest rate for such SOFR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such SOFR Loan is in fact so funded.

<u>Section 2.15.</u><u>Taxes</u>*.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable Law; *provided* that if any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent in regards to any such payments shall be required by law to deduct Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent or any other Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without duplication, each Credit Party shall pay any Other Taxes payable on account of any obligation of such Credit Party and upon the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents, to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Without duplication of any amounts paid under <u>Section 2.15(a)</u> or <u>(b)</u>, each Credit Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this <u>Section 2.15</u>) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; *provided* that a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable; *provided* that, if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, such Lender will use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be repaid to the Borrower in accordance with

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

<u>Section 2.15(f)</u>). Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 9.04(b)(vi)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in <u>Section 2.15(e)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>(B)</u> and <u>(D)</u> below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), copies of a duly executed and completed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly executed and completed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

Solely

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

for purposes of this <u>clause (D)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if it becomes aware any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)If a party determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this <u>Section 2.15</u>, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this <u>Section 2.15</u> with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); *provided* that the Borrower, upon the request of the indemnified party, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the indemnified party in the event the indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 2.15(f)</u>, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this <u>Section 2.15(f)</u> the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)On or before the date that the Administrative Agent or any successor or replacement Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder or any such form expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, and at such other times upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, it shall deliver to the Borrower two copies of duly executed either (1) IRS Form W-9, or (2) (a) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to amounts it receives on its own account and (b) IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) with respect to all other payments, in each case as will establish that it is exempt from U.S. withholding Taxes, including Taxes imposed by FATCA. The Administrative Agent agrees that if it becomes aware any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Each party's obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

<u>Section 2.16.</u><u>Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs</u>*.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under <u>Section 2.09(c)</u>, <u>Section 2.13</u> or <u>2.15</u>, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to <u>Sections 2.15</u> and <u>9.05</u> shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall in each case be made in the currency in which such Loan was made. All payments of other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Subject to <u>Section 2.20</u>, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) *first*, towards payment of outstanding fees and expenses of the Agents and the Depositary Bank, (ii) *second*, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) *third*, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, through the application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; *provided* that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this <u>Section 2.16(c)</u> shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this <u>Section 2.16</u> then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

<u>Section 2.17.</u><u>Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 2.13,</u> or if any Credit Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 2.13</u> or <u>2.15</u>, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in <u>Section 9.04</u>), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to <u>Section 2.13</u>, <u>2.14</u> or <u>2.15</u>) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); *provided* that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under <u>Sections 2.13</u>, <u>Section 2.14</u> or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this <u>Section 2.17</u> shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If any Lender (such Lender, a "***Non-Consenting Lender***") (x) has failed to consent to a proposed waiver, amendment, other modification, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of <u>Section 9.08</u> requires the consent of Lenders in addition to the Required Lenders or (y) has failed to confirm the satisfaction of the conditions precedent pursuant to <u>Article IV</u> and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, provided that no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees in accordance with <u>Section 9.04</u> and deliver any outstanding notes to the Borrower; *provided* that (i) all Obligations of the Borrower then owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (ii) the Non-Consenting Lender shall receive a price equal to the principal amount thereof *plus* accrued and unpaid interest thereon (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Applicable Premium or other premiums, penalties or similar fees related to such Obligations); *provided*, *further* that, in the event a Non-Consenting Lender has not consented to the waiver of any condition precedent to the initial funding of the Loans pursuant to <u>Section 4.02</u>, and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender in such circumstance may also, at the Borrower's option, be re-allocated to other Lenders willing to increase its Commitments hereunder. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender, and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with <u>Section 9.04</u>. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower exercise its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with <u>Section 9.04</u>. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered, and in addition hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with <u>Section 9.04</u> on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender and any such documentation shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to <u>Section 9.04</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any SOFR Loan, any request therefor or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Daily Compounded SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Floating Rate Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Floating Rate Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Floating Rate Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans) until the Administrative Agent (at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 2.14</u>. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Daily Simple SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to <u>clause (c)</u> of the definition of "Base Rate" until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to <u>Article VII</u> or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: *first*, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agents and the Depositary Bank hereunder; *second*, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to the extent no Default or Event of Default is a condition to funding the subsequent mentioned Loan), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; *third*, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; *fourth*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; *fifth*, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and *sixth*, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in <u>Section 4.01</u> and <u>Section 4.02</u> (with respect to any funding of initial Loans) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a *pro rata* basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Event of Default shall be deemed to occur hereunder prior to the Closing Date if such event that would be an Event of Default arises solely from an incorrect representation, a breach of a covenant or otherwise that is or will be cured upon the occurrence of the Closing Date pursuant to <u>Article IV</u>.

<u>Section 7.02.</u><u>Remedies Upon Event of Default</u>. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (other than a Bankruptcy Event of Default) caused by any Credit Party, and at any time thereafter during the continuation of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall (subject to <u>Article VIII</u> and the Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into)), by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions solely with respect to the Borrower, at the same or different times: (a) terminate the Commitments of and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (b) declare the Loans incurred solely by the Borrower and Obligations then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of such Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid fees and premiums (including any Applicable Premium) accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable and (c) direct the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under the Security Documents (or at law or pursuant to the UCC), and in the case of any event with respect to any Bankruptcy Event of Default, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans incurred by the Borrower then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid fees and premiums (including any Applicable Premium), all other Obligations and all other liabilities of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties

accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

It is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their scheduled maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Applicable Premium that would have applied if, at the time of such acceleration, the Borrower had prepaid any or all of the Loans as contemplated in <u>Section 2.09(a)</u> (any such event, an "***Applicable Premium Payment Event***") will also be due and payable without any further action (including any notice requirements otherwise applicable to Applicable Premium Payment Events, if any) as though an Applicable Premium Payment Event had occurred and such Applicable Premium shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender's lost profits as a result thereof. Any Applicable Premium payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination of this Agreement or repayment of the applicable Loans and the Borrower agrees that any Applicable Premium which may become payable hereunder is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Premium shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS, OR MAY PROHIBIT, THE COLLECTION OF THE APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION OR PAYMENT EVENT. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm's length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; and (D) the Credit Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower, for itself and each Credit Party, expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Premium to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans. The Borrower acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each Lender has the right to maintain its investment in the Loans free from repayment by the Borrower (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of an Applicable Premium by the Borrower, in the event that any Loan is prepaid or is accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Upon the request by the Collateral Agent at any time the Administrative Agent will promptly confirm in writing any action taken or to be taken by the Collateral Agent (at the written instruction of the Required Lenders).

<u>Section 8.06.</u><u>Successor Agents</u>*.* Any Agent may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Lenders, the Borrower and each other Agent and if such Agent is a Defaulting Lender or during an Agent Default Period, the Borrower may remove such Defaulting Lender from such role upon ten (10) days' notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each other Agent. If an Agent resigns or is removed by the Borrower, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Payment or Bankruptcy Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); *provided* that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Agent, such Agent, in the case of a resignation, and the Borrower, in the case of a removal may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower (in the case of a resignation), a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents and the term "Administrative Agent" or "Collateral Agent", as applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent or collateral agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated.

If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Agent's notice of resignation or ten (10) days following the Borrower's notice of removal, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent in accordance herewith by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Loan Documents, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this <u>Article VIII</u> and <u>Section 9.05</u> shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Lender may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent without the consent of the Borrower. Any Person into which the Agents may be merged or converted or with which they may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Agents shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such Agent shall be the successor of such Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further action on the part of any of the parties hereto.

<u>Section 8.07.</u><u>Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders</u>*.* Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

<u>Section 8.08.</u><u>No Other Duties, Etc.</u> Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Coordinating Lead Arrangers shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or a Lender hereunder.

<u>Section 8.09.</u><u>Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim</u>*.* In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under <u>Sections 2.10</u>, <u>8.12</u>, and <u>9.05</u>.

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

<u>Section 8.11.</u><u>[Reserved]</u>*.*

<u>Section 8.12.</u><u>Indemnification</u>*.* Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, Taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as an Agent-Related Person or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the "***Indemnified Liabilities***"); *provided* that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities primarily resulting from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; *provided* that no action taken or not taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this <u>Section 8.12</u>. In the case

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this <u>Section 8.12</u> applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agents upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) 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, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting their obligation to do so. The undertaking in this <u>Section 8.12</u> shall survive termination of the aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Agents.

<u>Section 8.13.</u><u>Appointment of Supplemental Agents</u>*.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case an Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Agents are hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by such Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a "***Supplemental Agent***" and collectively as "***Supplemental Agents***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and (ii) the provisions of this <u>Article VIII</u> and of <u>Section 9.05</u> that refer to the Agents shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Agent and all references therein to the Agents shall be deemed to be references to the Agents and/or such Supplemental Agent, as the context may require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Credit Party be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by an Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or such other Credit Party, if applicable, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by such Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the applicable Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent.

<u>Section 8.14.</u><u>Withholding</u>*.* To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason (including, such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 9.04(b)(vi)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax, including any penalties or interest and together with all reasonable expenses incurred. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender hereunder or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this <u>Section 8.14</u>. The agreements in this <u>Section 8.14</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this <u>Section 8.14</u>, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

<u>Section 8.15.</u><u>Enforcement</u>*.* Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with <u>Section 7.02</u> and the Security Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders or Secured Parties, as applicable; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with <u>Section 9.06</u> (subject to the terms of <u>Section 2.16(c)</u>), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; and *provided*, *further*, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, pursuant to <u>Section 7.02</u> and the Security Documents, as applicable and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in <u>clauses (b)</u> and <u>(c)</u> of the preceding proviso and subject to <u>Section 2.16(c)</u>, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

<u>Section 8.16.</u><u>Collateral Agent</u>*.* Each of the Secured Parties hereby instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith. Each of the Secured Parties acknowledges that the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to deliver an Enforcement Notice (under and as defined in the MSA Direct Agreement) other than at the direction of the Required Lenders, and no such notice shall direct the Collateral Agent to violate the Master Services Agreement or [\*] in any material respect or otherwise be inconsistent with the requirements of Section 2(b)(iii) of the MSA Direct Agreement.

<u>Section 8.17.</u><u>Coordinating Lead Arrangers</u>*.* The Borrower hereby appoints Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc., MUFG Bank, Ltd., Goldman Sachs Bank USA and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Coordinating Lead Arrangers in connection with the Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to <u>Section 9.04(b)(iv)</u> (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, to the requirements of <u>clause (e)</u> of this <u>Section 9.04</u>), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance), have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance), be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the requirements and limitations, of <u>Sections 2.13</u>, 2.15 and <u>9.05</u>). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this <u>Section 9.04</u> shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "***Register***"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, with respect to its own interest only, and any other Person to the extent necessary to establish that such obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor sections), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The parties intend that all extensions of credit to the Borrower and, if applicable, their Affiliates hereunder shall at all times be treated as being in registered form within the meanings of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code (and any successor provisions) and the regulations thereunder and shall interpret the provisions herein regarding the Register and the Participant Register (as defined in <u>paragraph (iv)</u> below) consistent with such intent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)The parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; *provided*, *however*, that (i) such processing and recordation fee shall not be payable for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

a Lender or an Approved Fund and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Upon its receipt (or waiver) of the processing and recording fee described in the preceding sentence, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance (or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any administrative information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by <u>Section 9.04(b)</u>, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance (or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)(A) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more financial institutions or other entities (a "***Participant***") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); *provided* that the Borrower shall have consented to such participation in writing (such consent not to be, subject to the following <u>clause (B)</u>, unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) and the Participant shall not be a Sanctioned Person; *provided, further*, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for a participation to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Lender's seasoning provider solely as a short-term intermediary to season such Lender's Loans or an Approved Fund or (2) if a Payment or Bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; *provided*, *further*, that (w) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (y) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and (z) such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant's interest in the Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the "***Participant Register***"), which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error, *provided* that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of such register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor sections). Each Lender that sells such a participation shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to exercise rights under and to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; *provided* that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in <u>Section 9.08(b)(i)</u>, <u>Section 9.08(b)(ii)</u>, Section 9.08(b)(iii) or <u>Section 9.08(b)(iv)</u> that affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) in respect of the foregoing with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to <u>Section 9.04(b)(vi)</u>, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements and limitations) of <u>Sections 2.13 and 2.15</u> to the same extent as if it were the Lender from whom it obtained its participation and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to <u>Section 9.04(b)</u>. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 9.06</u> as though it were a Lender, *provided* such Participant agrees to be subject to <u>Section 2.16(c)</u> as though it were a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Sections 2.13 and 2.15</u> than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (x) the Borrower is

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

informed of such greater payment, and the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent following the receipt by the Borrower of any information reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence such greater payment, and the Borrower may withhold its consent to such participation (in its sole discretion) if a Participant would be entitled to require greater payment than the applicable Lender under such Sections or (y) such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 2.15</u> to the extent such Participant fails to comply with <u>Section 2.15(e)</u> as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 2.15(e)</u> shall be delivered to the applicable Lender).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its promissory note, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this <u>Section 9.04</u> shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; *provided* that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, and any such pledgee (other than a pledgee that is the Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank) shall acknowledge in writing that its rights under such pledge are in all respects subject to the limitations applicable to the pledging Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)(i) In the event of any assignment or participation by a Lender without the Borrower's consent or deemed consent (if applicable) (A) to any Disqualified Lender or (B) to the extent the Borrower's consent is required under this <u>Section 9.04</u>, to any other Person, the Borrower shall be entitled at its sole expense and effort to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to injunctive relief (without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm) or any other remedies available to the Borrower at law or in equity in respect of such assignor or assignee; it being understood and agreed that the Borrower will suffer irreparable harm if any Lender breaches any obligation under this <u>Section 9.04</u> as it relates to any assignment, participation or pledge of any Loan or Commitment to any Disqualified Lender or any other Person to whom the Borrower's consent is required but not obtained (or has not been deemed consented to). Upon the request of any Lender or as otherwise required herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to such Lender the list of Disqualified Lenders at the relevant time and such Lender may provide the list to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis in accordance with <u>Section 9.16</u> for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)If any assignment or participation under this <u>Section 9.04</u> is made to any Affiliate of any Disqualified Lender without the Borrower's prior written consent or deemed consent (any such person, a "***Disqualified Person***"), then, such assignment shall not be null and void, but the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Person, (B) in the case of any outstanding Loans, held by such Disqualified Person, purchase such Loans by paying the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require that such Disqualified Person assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this <u>Section 9.04</u>), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; *provided* that (I) in the case of <u>clause (B)</u>, the applicable Disqualified Person has received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) par and (2) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid for the applicable Loans, plus accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the Borrower and (II) in the case of <u>clause (C)</u>, the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this <u>Section 9.04</u> (except that no registration and processing fee required under this <u>Section 9.04</u> shall be required with any assignment pursuant to this paragraph). Nothing in this <u>Section 9.04(d)</u> shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Loans or Commitments pursuant to <u>clause (x)</u> above shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Parent, Pledgor or the Borrower was a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Parent, Pledgor or the Borrower that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally (other than Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Lender's decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Loans or Commitments, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this <u>clause (e)</u>, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, upon effectiveness of such assignment, would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Loans and Commitments against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such;

Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans or Commitments shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Loans or Commitments then held by the Borrower and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Loans or Commitments, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Loans or Commitments in the Register.

The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by <u>Section 9.08(b)</u>, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

In connection with any such determination, each such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Agents that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Agents shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation). The Agents shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any direction delivered to it in accordance with this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any representation or deemed representation by any Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to mark the Borrower Materials "PUBLIC". Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the "Private Side Information" or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender's compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to communications that are not made available through the "Public Side Information" portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Parent or its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws.

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "***Covered Party***") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a "***Payment Recipient***") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding <u>clause (b)</u>) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "***Erroneous Payment***") and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (an "***Erroneous Payment Demand***") (*provided*, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any Erroneous Payment Demand unless such demand is made within ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this <u>Section 9.26</u> and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this <u>clause (a)</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without limiting immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>, each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u> or <u>(y)</u>, an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

------

case of immediately preceding <u>clause (z)</u>), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)such Lender or Secured Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u>, <u>(y)</u> and <u>(z)</u>) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the applicable Agent pursuant to this <u>clause (b)</u>.

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the applicable Agent pursuant to this <u>clause (b)</u> shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to <u>clause (a)</u> or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the applicable Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under this Agreement, or otherwise payable or distributable by the applicable Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under this Agreement with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the applicable Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding <u>clause (a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the applicable Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the applicable Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the "***Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights***") and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge, or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Parent, Pledgor or any Credit Party; *provided* that this <u>Section 9.26</u> shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the applicable Agent; *provided*, *further*, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding <u>clauses (x)</u> and <u>(y)</u> shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the applicable Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), the Borrower for the purpose of making a payment, prepayment, repayment on, or discharging or otherwise satisfying, the Obligations*.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the applicable Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this <u>Section 9.26</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agents, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

<u>Section 9.27.</u><u>Intercreditor Agreement</u>. Each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself that certain matters related to the Loan Documents and the Collateral may become subject to and governed by the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Secured Party, by delivering its signature page hereto, funding its Loans and/or executing an Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, shall be deemed to have (a) acknowledged receipt of, consented to and approved of the Intercreditor

\|US-DOCS\166979934.32\|\|

Agreement (if entered into), (b) authorized the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to perform their respective obligations thereunder and (c) acknowledged that the Collateral Agent in performing such duties is acting as Collateral Agent for all of the Secured Parties and not solely the Lenders. The Secured Parties party hereto hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, amendments thereto or any new intercreditor or subordination agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (which direction may be required in a manner consistent with <u>Section 9.08(d)</u>)) as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by Administrative Agent in connection with the incurrence of any Excepted Debt. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall supersede and control.

***Execution Version***

**EXHIBIT 10.2**

March 30, 2026

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**GUARANTEE**. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CoreWeave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "**Guarantor**"), in connection with that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "**Credit Agreement**"), among CoreWeave Compute Acquisition Co. VIII, LLC, as borrower (the "**Borrower**"), the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the "**Lenders**"), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as collateral agent (the "**Collateral Agent**"), does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee (this "**Guarantee**") to the Guaranteed Party (as defined below) the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined on Schedule 1 hereto). "**Guaranteed Party**" shall mean the Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), together with its successors and permitted assigns. The Guarantor further agrees to pay, upon reasonable request and as soon as reasonably practicable, all reasonable and documented expenses (including, without limitations, all reasonable and documented fees and disbursement of counsel to the Guaranteed Party), that may be paid or incurred by the Guaranteed Party in enforcing any rights against the Guarantor under this Guarantee or collecting any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations from the Guarantor under this Guarantee (other than expenses incurred to collect or enforce the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**DEFINITIONS.** Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms (whether by reference to another document or otherwise) in the Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.**WAIVER OF NOTICE**. The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, and agrees that, in its capacity as a guarantor, it shall not be required to consent to, or to receive any notice of, any supplement to or amendment of, or waiver or modification of the terms of, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that may be made or given as provided therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**CONSIDERATION**. This Guarantee is being furnished to induce the Lenders to make loans to the Borrower for the purposes set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor will enjoy substantial commercial benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.**REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES**. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties as of the date hereof (unless any such representation and warranty relates to an earlier date) as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Organization; Powers</u>. It is a corporation duly formed and existing under the laws of Delaware and has all organizational powers (including, without limitation, corporate powers) and all governmental licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for the licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals the failure of which to be obtained would not reasonably be expected to have, whether individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. It is duly qualified to do business and, in the case of those jurisdictions where such concept is known, is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where that qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, whether individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. This Guarantee has been duly executed and

------

delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Authorization; Enforceability</u>. The execution, delivery and performance by it of this Guarantee is within its powers (including, without limitation, corporate powers) and have been duly authorized by all necessary actions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts</u>. The execution, delivery and performance by it of this Guarantee (i) do not require any consent or approval (including any exchange control approval) of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) will not violate any applicable Law or any order of any Governmental Authority, except for any such violation that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) will not violate its by-laws, and (iv) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon it or any of its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person, in each case, except for any such default that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Patriot Act</u>. To the extent applicable, it is in compliance, in all material respects, with the PATRIOT Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Litigation and Contingent Liabilities</u>. No claims, litigation, arbitration proceedings or governmental proceedings by any Governmental Authority are pending or to its knowledge threatened in writing against the Guarantor which, if adversely determined and for which there is a reasonable probability of an adverse decision, is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f)For purposes hereof, "Material Adverse Effect" shall mean any event or circumstance arising in respect of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries that has had (a) a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) a material adverse effect on the ability of the Guarantor to fully and timely perform its obligations hereunder, or (c) a material impairment of the validity or enforceability of, the material rights, remedies or benefits available to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.**COVENANTS**. The Guarantor covenants as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Existence; Conduct of Business</u>. The Guarantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business of which the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Compliance with Laws</u>. The Guarantor shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, of which the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Fundamental Changes</u>. The Guarantor will not without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent merge into or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, unless the surviving entity shall expressly assume the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.**NO WAIVER**. No failure or delay or lack of demand, notice or diligence in exercising any right under this Guarantee shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Guarantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.**UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE**. This Guarantee is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor waives any right to require that any right to take action against the Borrower be exhausted or that resort be made to any security prior to action being taken against the Guarantor hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.**WAIVERS, ETC**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In the event that this Guarantee or any Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party shall be terminated, rejected or disaffirmed as a result of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceedings with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantor's obligations hereunder to the Guaranteed Party shall continue to the same extent as if the same had not been so terminated, rejected or disaffirmed. The Guarantor hereby waives all rights and benefits that might, in whole or in part, relieve it from the performance of its duties and obligations by reason of any proceeding as specified in the preceding sentence, and the Guarantor agrees that it shall be liable for all sums guaranteed, in respect of and without regard to, any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the Borrower that may result from any such proceedings and notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition issued in any such proceedings. Furthermore, the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder will not be discharged by: (i) any extension or renewal with respect to any obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents; (ii) any modification of, or amendment or supplement to, any such agreement; (iii) any furnishing or acceptance of additional security or any release of any security; (iv) any waiver, consent or other action or inaction or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Borrower or any change in the structure of the Borrower; (v) any change in ownership of the equity interests of the Guarantor or the equity interests in the Borrower or any merger or consolidation of any thereof into or with any other Person; or (vi) any assignment, transfer, participation or other arrangement by which a Lender transfers its interests in the Loans in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Except for termination or release of the Guarantor's obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the reduction or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any portion thereof). The Guarantor understands and agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to, and the Guarantor hereby waives any defense to, or right to seek a discharge of, its obligations hereunder with respect to (i) the validity, legality, regularity or enforceability of this Guarantee or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Guaranteed Party; (ii) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Guarantor against the Borrower, the Guaranteed Party or any other Person in connection with this Guarantee; or (iii)

------

any other circumstances whatsoever (including statute of limitations) (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantor) that constitute, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of the Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To the extent that the Borrower would be required to make payments pursuant to Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, all Attorney Costs to the extent required pursuant to Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement) solely to the extent that such amounts may be paid or incurred by the Guaranteed Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, the Guarantor under this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the occurrence of Payment in Full under the Credit Agreement, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto no amounts may be outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of the Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Guaranteed Party hereunder. No payment or payments made by the Borrower received or collected by the Guaranteed Party from the Borrower by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of, or in payment of, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made by the Borrower or the Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or payments received or collected from the Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder until the occurrence of Payment in Full under the Credit Agreement. Anything herein or in the Credit Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, as of any date of determination the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount that is the lesser of (i) the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations as of such date of determination and (ii) the maximum liability which can be guaranteed by the Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable federal and state requirements of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers or the insolvency of debtors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)All payments due hereunder shall be paid by Guarantor in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars within thirty (30) days following receipt by Guarantor of an invoice thereof from the Guaranteed Party setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail including, if requested by the Guarantor and to the extent reasonably available, backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.**NO SUBROGATION**. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Guaranteed Party or a Lender, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Guaranteed Party or any Lender against the Borrower or any Collateral, security or guarantee or right of setoff held by the Guaranteed Party or a Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts and performance owing to the Guaranteed Party by the Borrower on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid and performed in full. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder either shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or similar proceedings and the Guarantor agrees that it will

------

reimburse such holders on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Guaranteed Party) incurred by such holders in connection with such rescission or restoration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.**SEVERABILITY; NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES**.

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**COREWEAVE CLOSES LANDMARK $8.5 BILLION FINANCING FACILITY,** 

**ACHIEVING FIRST INVESTMENT-GRADE RATED GPU-BACKED FINANCING**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● *Financing reflects further reduction in cost of capital and growing institutional confidence in CoreWeave's model, execution, and AI adoption.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● *First of a kind non-recourse facility, with an A3 / A (low) rating, marking the first HPC infrastructure delayed draw term loan to achieve investment grade status.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● *Transaction fulfills financing requirements to deliver previously contracted cloud services with leading AI enterprise, expanding CoreWeave's high-performance AI cloud footprint.*

**LIVINGSTON, N.J.– March 31, 2026** – CoreWeave, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWV), The Essential Cloud for AI™, today announced it has closed an $8.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility ("DDTL 4.0 Facility"), supporting the continued expansion of its AI cloud platform.

The DDTL 4.0 Facility received ratings of A3 by Moody's and A (low) by DBRS, respectively, representing the first investment-grade rated financing secured by HPC infrastructure and an associated customer contract.

"We're proud to partner with leading financial institutions on this landmark transaction as we continue to innovate within the capital markets while further reducing our cost of capital," said Brannin McBee, Chief Development Officer and co-founder of CoreWeave. "This reflects confidence in AI adoption and represents continued market validation of our model that is proving both repeatable and scalable, enabling us to meet accelerating demand from our customers."

The structure enables CoreWeave to borrow up to approximately $7.5 billion initially, with the ability to increase total borrowing capacity to $8.5 billion as underlying assets reach stabilization. The facility is designed to provide enhanced access to low-cost capital to support CoreWeave's continued investment to meet customer demand.

------

The facility builds on CoreWeave's sustained momentum, including securing equity and debt financing commitments that now total approximately $28 billion in the past 12 months.

The new DDTL 4.0 Facility demonstrates CoreWeave's progress in reducing its cost of capital and enhancing its credit profile. The facility includes a floating rate tranche financed at SOFR + 2.25% and a fixed rate tranche financed at approximately 5.9%. The DDTL 4.0 Facility matures in March 2032 and is secured by substantially all assets of CoreWeave Compute Acquisition Co. VIII, LLC.

MUFG and Morgan Stanley served as co-structuring agents and joint bookrunners with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan serving as additional coordinating lead arrangers for the transaction, which was meaningfully oversubscribed. The facility was anchored by Blackstone Credit & Insurance and included participation from a diverse group of global financial institutions, asset managers, and insurance investors.
