To the extent there is any conflict between the collateral description in this Financing Statement and the collateral description in the Security Agreement, the Security Agreement shall control. This Financing Statement is filed to perfect the security interest granted pursuant to the Security Agreement and is not intended to expand or modify the scope of the collateral described in the Security Agreement.

SECTION 5 — CHECK box PROVISIONS

5a. Alternative Designation

Not Applicable. This filing is a standard Article 9 filing. No alternative designation is checked. The Debtor is not a transmitting utility, and no alternative designation (such as "Lessee/Lessor," "Consignee/Consignor," "Seller/Buyer," or "Bailee/Bailor") applies to this filing.

5b. Applicable Check boxes

The following check boxes on the standard UCC-1 form are addressed as follows:

"This Financing Statement covers timber to be cut." — Not checked. The collateral does not include timber to be cut.

"This Financing Statement covers as-extracted collateral." — Not checked. The collateral does not include as-extracted collateral (including oil, gas, or other minerals).

"This Financing Statement is filed as a fixture filing." — Not checked. This Financing Statement is not being filed as a fixture filing. Real property collateral is addressed separately. Summit Industrial Fabrication Co. does not own or hold any real property in South Carolina or any other state that is subject to a mortgage in connection with the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Greenville, South Carolina real property located at 1450 Pelham Road, Greenville, SC 29615 is owned by Nexford Engineered Systems, LLC, a different Loan Party organized under the laws of Delaware, and the mortgage encumbering such property is a separate post-closing deliverable under the Credit Agreement, due within sixty (60) days following the closing date.

ADDITIONAL FILING CONTEXT AND COUNSEL NOTES

The following information is provided for internal reference by Calderwood & Harkness LLP and the filing agent and does not form part of the UCC-1 Financing Statement to be filed with the South Carolina Secretary of State. This page should not be included in the filing submission.

Background on the Debtor

Summit Industrial Fabrication Co. is a South Carolina corporation with its principal place of business in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The company was acquired by Nexford Industrial Holdings Inc. in 2022 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower. Summit Industrial Fabrication Co. is a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and has executed the Security Agreement as a Grantor. It has pledged all of its assets and personal property to secure the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under the Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents.

Basis for Filing Jurisdiction

South Carolina is the correct jurisdiction for the filing of this UCC-1 Financing Statement because Summit Industrial Fabrication Co. is organized under the laws of the State of South Carolina. Pursuant to UCC § 9-301(1) (S.C. Code Ann. § 36-9-301(1)), the law of the jurisdiction in which the debtor is located governs perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, and the priority of a security interest in collateral. Under UCC § 9-307(e) (S.C. Code Ann. § 36-9-307(e)), a registered organization that is organized under the law of a state is located in that state. Because Summit Industrial Fabrication Co. is a corporation organized under the laws of South Carolina, it is "located" in South Carolina for purposes of Article 9, and this financing statement must be filed with the South Carolina Secretary of State.

Related Filings. This UCC-1 Financing Statement is one of thirteen (13) UCC-1 Financing Statements being filed at closing on March 28, 2025, across six (6) states in connection with the Credit Agreement. The states in which filings are being made, and the number of filings per state, are as follows:

Termination of Prior Filings

The existing UCC-1 Financing Statements in favor of Atlas Meridian Bank, N.A. (the prior collateral agent under the Prior Credit Agreement) are being terminated via UCC-3 Termination Statements filed on or about March 31, 2025, as a post-closing deliverable under Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement. Counsel is coordinating with Atlas Meridian Bank, N.A. and its counsel at Whitfield & Bates LLP to ensure timely delivery of the UCC-3 Termination Statements for each applicable debtor and jurisdiction. The termination of the prior filings is a condition subsequent under the Credit Agreement and is required to be completed within three (3) business days following the closing date.

Credit Facility Summary

Lien Search Results

Prior to filing, a UCC lien search was conducted against Summit Industrial Fabrication Co. with the South Carolina Secretary of State. The results of the lien search, dated March 20, 2025, revealed the following existing filings:

Counsel has confirmed that, upon the filing of this UCC-1 Financing Statement and the subsequent termination of the Atlas Meridian Bank, N.A. filing referenced above, the security interest of Crescent Harbor Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent, in the assets of Summit Industrial Fabrication Co. will be a first-priority perfected security interest, subject only to liens permitted under the Credit Agreement.
