Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantor, each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a "**Company Indemnified Party**"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Company Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, in each case as amended or supplemented, or any Issuer Free Writing Communication or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Purchaser furnished to the Company by such Purchaser through the Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Purchaser Indemnified Party is a party thereto) whether threatened or commenced based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Purchaser consists of the information in the Preliminary and Final Offering Memorandum furnished on behalf of each Purchaser (i) in the first and second sentence of paragraph 4, the second sentence of paragraph 6, and paragraph 7 under the heading "Plan of Distribution"; provided, however, that the Purchasers shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company's or the Guarantor's failure to perform their obligations under Section 6(a) of 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)*Actions against Parties; Notification*. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under

------

subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel and any specialist counsel) for all indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party or (y) be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

&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)*Contribution*. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or actions in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative

------

fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or actions in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor or by the Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, the net proceeds deemed to be received by the Company shall be deemed to be also for the benefit of the Guarantor, and information supplied by the Company shall also be deemed to have been supplied by the Guarantor.

&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)The Company, the Guarantor and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Offered Securities purchased and resold by it exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers' obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. For purposes of this Section 9, each affiliate, director, officer and employee of any Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Purchaser, and each director of the Company or the Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Guarantor.

&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)*Non-Exclusive Remedies.* The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.***Default of Purchasers***.

&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 on the Closing Date, any Purchaser default in its obligations to purchase Offered Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Offered Securities by the non-defaulting Purchasers or other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms

------

contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Purchasers, the non-defaulting Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Offered Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase the Offered Securities on such terms. In the event that within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Purchasers notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Offered Securities, or the Company notifies the non-defaulting Purchasers that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Offered Securities, either the non-defaulting Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Purchasers, may be necessary in the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term "Purchaser" includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule A hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Offered Securities that a defaulting Purchaser agreed, but subsequently failed, to purchase.

&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, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by the non-defaulting Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities that remains unpurchased on the Closing Date does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Offered Securities that such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Purchaser's pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Offered Securities that such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Offered Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; provided, however, that no non-defaulting Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of Section 4 hereof.

&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, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by the non-defaulting Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantor, except that the Company and the Guarantor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 6(h) and Section 12 and except that the provisions of Section 9 shall not terminate and shall remain in 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)Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantor or any non-defaulting Purchaser for damages caused by such Purchaser's default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.***Termination****.* Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative, by notice given to and received by the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date: (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or in any other over-the-counter market, or minimum or

------

maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or exchange, (ii) trading or quotation of any securities of Holdings, the Company or the Guarantor shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) any general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any U.S. federal, New York or Michigan authorities; (iv) any major disruption of settlements of securities, payment, or clearance services in the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred or (v) there shall have occurred any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency or any other change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.***Reimbursement of Purchasers' Expenses****.* If (a) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Offered Securities for delivery to the Purchasers, or (b) the Purchasers decline to purchase the Offered Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Purchasers for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Offered Securities, as set forth in Section 6(h), and upon demand the Company and the Guarantor shall pay the full amount thereof to the Purchasers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.***Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations****.* The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantor or their respective officers and of the several Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities and any termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers is not consummated, the Company and the Guarantor shall, remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 6 (except with respect to the Purchaser which is in default) and the respective obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and the Purchasers pursuant to Section 9 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers is not consummated other than because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10, the Company will reimburse the non-defaulting Purchasers for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, subject in all cases to Section 6(h).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.***Notices****.* All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Purchasers will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed and confirmed to J.P.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.***Representation of Purchasers***. The Representative will act for the several Purchasers in connection with this purchase, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representative will be binding upon all the Purchasers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.***Counterparts****.* This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

The information in this pricing term sheet supplements the preliminary offering memorandum, dated September 9, 2025 (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum"), and supplements and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum to the extent supplementary to or inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. In all other respects, this pricing term sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and should be read together with the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

For details about eligible offers, deemed representations and agreements by investors and transfer restrictions, see "Transfer Restrictions" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

**<u>Change in Size of Offering</u>**

The aggregate principal amount of notes to be issued in the offering increased from $600,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 which reflects an increase of $400,000,000 from the aggregate principal amount set forth on the cover page of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum (the "Upsized Notes Offering").
