Reference to Security Agreement: All assets described in the Security Agreement dated as of March 28, 2025, among the Debtor, Nexford Industrial Holdings Inc., the other Grantors party thereto, and Crescent Harbor Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent (the "Security Agreement"), as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time. The collateral description set forth herein is consistent with the blanket lien granted under the Security Agreement — Execution Version (Document 58) and is intended to encompass all personal property of the Debtor in which a security interest has been granted pursuant thereto.
FIELD 5 — CHECK BOXES / ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
5a. This Financing Statement covers the following types of collateral:
Not applicable. A full blanket lien over all personal property of the Debtor is described in Field 4 above and in Exhibit A attached hereto, if applicable.
5b. Check applicable boxes:
Debtor is a Transmitting Utility — NOT CHECKED
Lakeshore Precision Engineering, Inc. is a precision engineering and manufacturing company and does not constitute a "transmitting utility" as defined in UCC § 9-102(a)(81). Accordingly, this box is not checked, and this Financing Statement will lapse five (5) years from the date of filing unless a continuation statement is timely filed in accordance with UCC § 9-515.
Filed as a Financing Statement — CHECKED
This document is filed as a Financing Statement (initial filing) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in Michigan.
Note Regarding Fixtures:
The collateral description set forth in Field 4 includes fixtures. However, a separate fixture filing pursuant to UCC § 9-502(b) will be made if applicable in connection with any real property mortgage for Michigan-located properties. As of the date hereof, no Michigan-located real property is included in the current four-property mortgage package being recorded in connection with the closing of the Credit Agreement. The mortgaged properties in the current transaction are located in Illinois (2 properties), South Carolina (1 property), and Texas (1 property). In the event that any Michigan real property is subsequently acquired by the Debtor or any other Grantor and becomes subject to a mortgage lien securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement, a separate fixture filing will be prepared and filed at that time in the office where a mortgage on the related real property would be recorded.
FIELD 6 — OPTIONAL FILER REFERENCE DATA
The foregoing reference data is provided for informational and internal tracking purposes only and does not form part of the Financing Statement for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The inclusion or omission of optional filer reference data does not affect the sufficiency or effectiveness of this Financing Statement.

Filing Jurisdiction Rationale
Lakeshore Precision Engineering, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Michigan. Under UCC § 9-301(1) and Michigan's enactment of Article 9 at MCL § 440.9301(1), the law of the jurisdiction in which the debtor is located governs the perfection and priority of a security interest in the debtor's personal property. Under UCC § 9-307(e) and MCL § 440.9307(5), a registered organization that is organized under the law of a state is located in that state. Accordingly, because Lakeshore Precision Engineering, Inc. is a Michigan corporation, the proper filing jurisdiction for this Financing Statement is the State of Michigan, and the proper filing office is the Michigan Department of State, which serves as the central filing office for UCC filings in Michigan.
