("SKBA," a wholly owned subsidiary of SK On), entered into a Loan Arrangement and Reimbursement Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which the Department of Energy ("DOE") agreed to arrange for the Federal Financing Bank to purchase a note or notes from the Borrower and to make advances from time to time thereunder up to $9,633,040,000 (the "BOSK DOE Loan") to finance the construction of battery manufacturing plants in Tennessee and Kentucky. BOSK is a consolidated subsidiary of SK On.
 &nbsp;
In conjunction with the Loan Agreement, on December 13, 2024, each of Ford, SK On, SKBA, and SK Innovation Co., Ltd., entered into a Sponsor Support, Share Retention and Subordination Agreement (the "SSA") with BOSK and DOE. Under the SSA, Ford has agreed to guarantee 50% of BOSK's payment obligations under the BOSK DOE Loan.

The SSA contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Ford that are substantially similar to those in Ford's existing Credit Agreement dated as of December 15, 2006, as amended and restated as of November 24, 2009, as amended and restated as of April 30, 2014, as amended and restated as of April 30, 2015, and as further amended and restated as of September 29, 2021 (and as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Existing Credit Agreement").

The negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, include limitations on Ford's ability to merge or consolidate with another person, a limitation on liens, a negative pledge, and a limitation on sale-leaseback transactions. The SSA also contains a negative covenant substantially similar to the liquidity covenant in the Existing Credit Agreement requiring that Ford not permit Available Liquidity (as defined in the SSA) to be less than $4,000,000,000.
 &nbsp;
The SSA includes certain events of default, defined as "Ford Sponsor Entity Defaults," the occurrence of which would constitute an event of default under the Loan Agreement. The Ford Sponsor Entity Defaults are substantially similar to those in Ford's Existing Credit Agreement, including:
 &nbsp;
•Any representation or warranty is materially incorrect;
•Breach of covenants in the SSA, subject to grace periods consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement;
•Cross-payment default with respect to debt for borrowed money of Ford or any significant guarantor in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1,000,000,000 or more;
•Cross-acceleration to indebtedness for borrowed money of Ford or any significant guarantor with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1,000,000,000 or more;
•Bankruptcy of Ford, Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, Ford Canada, or any significant guarantor;

•U.S. judgments against Ford or any significant guarantor not vacated, discharged, satisfied, stayed, or bonded pending appeal within 60 days, that involve a liability of either (a) $100,000,000 (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more, in the case of any single judgment or decree or (b) $200,000,000 (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more in the aggregate.
