PREPARER'S NOTES AND FILING MEMORANDUM ANNOTATIONS

PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT — FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

The following memorandum annotations are prepared by Calderwood & Harkness LLP for internal use in connection with the UCC filings described herein and are not part of the public filing record. These notes are intended to document the filing rationale, cross-reference related filings and transaction documents, and set forth key calendaring information for the maintenance of perfected security interests.

1. Relationship to Delaware Filings

A companion UCC-1 financing statement has been filed simultaneously with the Delaware Secretary of State, Division of Corporations, on September 29, 2023, naming Stonefield Logistics Group Inc. (a Delaware corporation, EIN 84-2917563) as debtor and Ridgeline Mezzanine Capital Fund III, LP as secured party, also covering a second-priority security interest in substantially all assets. Stonefield Logistics Group Inc. is the parent entity and direct borrower under the Mezzanine Credit Agreement. Because Stonefield Logistics Group Inc. is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, UCC-1 financing statements for that entity are properly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State pursuant to Delaware's enactment of UCC § 9-301(1) (6 Del. C. § 9-301(1)).

A separate UCC-1 financing statement was also filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 29, 2023, for Stonefield Freight Brokerage, Inc. (a Delaware corporation, EIN 84-3306715), another subsidiary guarantor organized under Delaware law. That filing likewise covers a second-priority security interest in substantially all assets, subordinate to the first-priority liens of Whitmore National Bank, N.A. as Collateral Agent.

All Delaware and Texas filings were coordinated to occur simultaneously on September 29, 2023, coinciding with the funding date of the $120,000,000 Mezzanine Credit Agreement.

2. Texas Filing Rationale

Stonefield Intermodal Services, Inc. (a Texas corporation) and Stonefield Fleet Management, LLC (a Texas limited liability company) are each organized under the laws of the State of Texas pursuant to the Texas Business Organizations Code. Under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Texas (Texas Business & Commerce Code, Chapter 9), the law of the jurisdiction in which a debtor is organized governs the perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection, and the priority of a security interest in collateral. Texas Business & Commerce Code § 9.301(1) provides that, while a debtor is located in a jurisdiction, the local law of that jurisdiction governs perfection. For registered organizations (such as corporations and limited liability companies), the debtor is located in the state of its organization (Texas Business & Commerce Code § 9.307(e)). Accordingly, UCC-1 financing statements for Stonefield Intermodal Services, Inc. and Stonefield Fleet Management, LLC are properly filed with the Texas Secretary of State in Austin, Texas.

3. Existing Senior Lien Filings

Pre-closing lien searches were conducted by Calderwood & Harkness LLP through its authorized search agent, National Filing Services, Inc., against both Stonefield Intermodal Services, Inc. and Stonefield Fleet Management, LLC with the Texas Secretary of State. The search results, dated September 22, 2023 (seven days prior to funding), confirmed the existence of the following UCC-1 filings:

(a) Debtor: Stonefield Intermodal Services, Inc. — UCC-1 Financing Statement filed by Whitmore National Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent, with the Texas Secretary of State, original filing date April 11, 2022, securing all assets of the debtor in connection with the first-priority obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 7, 2022, among Stonefield Logistics Group Inc. as Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, and Whitmore National Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(b) Debtor: Stonefield Fleet Management, LLC — UCC-1 Financing Statement filed by Whitmore National Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent, with the Texas Secretary of State, original filing date April 11, 2022, securing all assets of the debtor in connection with the same Amended and Restated Credit Agreement referenced above.

No other UCC-1 filings, tax liens, or judgment liens were identified against either debtor in the Texas search results. The mezzanine filings described herein are second-priority and subordinate to the Whitmore National Bank, N.A. filings, as governed by and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement dated September 14, 2023.

4. Underlying Transaction Summary

The filings documented herein are made in connection with the following mezzanine financing transaction:

Facility: $120,000,000 Mezzanine Credit Agreement (the "Mezzanine Credit Agreement"), dated as of September 14, 2023, among Stonefield Logistics Group Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Borrower, Ridgeline Mezzanine Capital Fund III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as Mezzanine Lender, and the guarantors party thereto.

Funding Date: September 29, 2023.

Interest Rate: SOFR + 850 basis points per annum (with a SOFR floor of 3.00%), payable quarterly in arrears.

Maturity Date: September 14, 2028 (five years from the date of the Mezzanine Credit Agreement).

Security: Second-priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Borrower and each subsidiary guarantor, granted pursuant to the Mezzanine Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of September 14, 2023.

Guaranty: Joint and several guaranty of payment and performance by each of the subsidiary guarantors, including Stonefield Intermodal Services, Inc. and Stonefield Fleet Management, LLC (the debtors named herein), pursuant to the Mezzanine Guaranty Agreement dated as of September 14, 2023.

Intercreditor Agreement: Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 14, 2023, among Whitmore National Bank, N.A., as Senior Agent, Ridgeline Mezzanine Capital Fund III, LP, as Mezzanine Lender, and acknowledged by Stonefield Logistics Group Inc. and the subsidiary guarantors, governing the relative priorities and rights of the Senior Secured Parties and the Mezzanine Lender with respect to the Collateral.

5. USDOT Cross-Reference

Stonefield Logistics Group Inc. (the parent entity and Borrower under the Mezzanine Credit Agreement) holds USDOT No. 2847391. This USDOT number is provided for cross-reference to motor carrier filings, equipment identification, and regulatory compliance records maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Certain equipment described in the Collateral (including trucks, tractors, trailers, rolling stock, containers, chassis, and intermodal equipment) may be subject to federal and state motor carrier registration and titling requirements. Certificate of title perfection requirements for motor vehicles under Texas Transportation Code, Chapter 501, are being addressed separately and are not covered by this UCC filing memorandum.

6. Continuation Filing Reminder — Critical Calendar Entry

Pursuant to Texas Business & Commerce Code § 9.515, a filed financing statement is effective for a period of five (5) years after the date of filing. A continuation statement may be filed only within six (6) months before the expiration of the five-year period. Failure to file a timely continuation statement will result in the lapse of the financing statement and the loss of perfection.

Key dates for calendaring purposes:

Action Item: A continuation statement (UCC-3, indicating continuation) must be filed with the Texas Secretary of State for each of the two financing statements (Filing No. 1 — Stonefield Intermodal Services, Inc. and Filing No. 2 — Stonefield Fleet Management, LLC) during the six-month window between March 29, 2028, and September 29, 2028. Corresponding continuation statements for the Delaware filings must also be calendared. Calderwood & Harkness LLP's docketing system should be updated to reflect these deadlines, with an initial reminder set no later than January 15, 2028, to allow adequate time for preparation, authorization, and filing.
