This Bond Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) will confirm our agreement under which the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency (the “Agency”) is issuing and selling to Sovereign Bank (the “Purchaser” or the “Bank”), and the Purchaser is purchasing from the Agency $4,250,000 principal amount of the Agency’s Revenue Bonds, Ranor Issue, Series 2010A (together with any bonds issued in exchange or replacement therefor, the “Series 2010A Bonds”) and $1,950,000 principal amount of the Agency’s Revenue Bonds, Ranor Issue, Series 2010B (together with any bonds issued in exchange or replacement therefor, the “Series 2010B Bonds,” and collectively with the Series 2010A Bonds, the “Bonds”). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the Mortgage, Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2010 (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Agency, Ranor, Inc. (the “Borrower”), and the Purchaser, as Bondowner and Disbursing Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement, provided that “Bond Documents” as used herein means the Bond Documents to which the Borrower is a party. The proceeds of the Bonds are being loaned to the Borrower, a Delaware corporation doing business in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Commonwealth”), to finance and refinance the acquisition of the manufacturing facility currently leased by the Borrower, the construction of an addition thereto, the improvement and equipping thereof, and the costs of issuance of the Bonds. TechPrecision Corporation, a Delaware corporation and parent of the Borrower (the “Guarantor”) is guaranteeing the Borrower’s obligations under the Bond Documents pursuant to a Guaranty (Unlimited), dated as of the date hereof, from the Guarantor to the Purchaser (individually and collectively, the “Guaranty”).

As soon as practicable, and in any event within seven (7) days after either the Borrower or the Guarantor learns of the following, give written notice to the Bondowner of any proceeding(s) being instituted or threatened to be instituted by or against the Borrower or the Guarantor in any federal, state, local or foreign court or before any arbitration or mediation panel, commission or other regulatory body (federal, state, local or foreign).

6.11. Transfer of Interests in the Borrower, or the Mortgaged Property. Except for the Residential Parcels (as defined below) as specifically provided for below and upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent listed below, the Borrower shall not convey or permit the conveyance of its ownership interest in or control of or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any legal or beneficial interests therein, including without limitation, its right to receive rents, issues or profits arising from the Mortgaged Property.

Except as specifically provided below, in the event any ownership interest becomes vested in a person or persons or entity or entities in a manner which violate the terms hereof, the Bondowner may, without notice to the Borrower, or any other party, and notwithstanding the existence of such default, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to the Bond Documents in the same manner as with the Borrower, without in any way releasing, discharging or otherwise affecting any liability of the Borrower hereunder or under the Bond Documents. No sale or conveyance of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, no extension of the time for the payment of the Bonds or any change in the terms thereof consented to by the Bondowner shall in any way whatsoever operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of the Borrower (if any), either in whole or in part, or the Event of Default arising from such sale or conveyance.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have the right, upon request, to have the three residential properties identified on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, consisting of approximately 3.55 acres in the aggregate (collectively, the “Residential Parcels”), released from the lien of the Mortgage and other Bond Documents for the sum of $1.00 to be reconveyed to WM Realty Management, LLC (“Seller”) or its nominee, provided that (a) Borrower submits or causes the submittal of an Approvals Not Required Plan (“ANR Plan”) for the creation of the Residential Parcels within thirty (30) days of the closing date of the financing, (b) Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all necessary governmental approvals, including the ANR Plan approved by the Town of Westminster, have been obtained for such releases and the separate transfers and conveyances of the Residential Parcels within ninety (90) days after the closing date of the financing; and (c) Borrower provides Lender a written release from the Seller as to the remainder of the Premises. Borrower acknowledges that the proceeds of the Bond were not allocated to the portion of the purchase price applicable to the Residential Parcels.

For the purposes of this section and the release of the Residential Parcels, the following shall be conditions precedent. The Effective Date of the Title Policy shall be updated to the time of the recording of the release of the Residential Parcels and shall reflect that the remaining parcel is a legal valid lot. This endorsement shall also reflect that there are no other matters of record that might impact the willingness of the Lender to release the Residential Lots, such as intervening mechanics lien filings. An updated Zoning Endorsement of the Title Policy shall address the parcel remaining after the release of the Residential Parcels and its intended use are in compliance with all applicable provisions of the zoning code. Any requirements from the title insurance company shall have been satisfied. An Opinion of Borrower’s counsel acceptable to the Lender shall be delivered.

6.12. Payment of Indebtedness. Pay when due (or within applicable grace or notice period) any indebtedness permitted by this Agreement, including without limitation all purchase money mortgages, capitalized leases, or similar instruments in the nature of a borrowing, except when the amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with adequate reserves therefor being set aside on its books. If default be made by the Borrower in the payment of any principal (or installment thereof) of, or interest on, any such indebtedness beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, the Bondowner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pay such interest or principal for the account of the Borrower and be reimbursed by the Borrower therefor.

The Borrower shall not permit (a) removal, demolition or other waste of the Mortgaged Property, (b) lapse or revocation of any license, permit or other governmental authorization issued with respect to the Mortgaged Property, (c) material change in the structure or use of the Mortgaged Property (other than the projects to be financed with the proceeds of the Bonds or otherwise consented to by the Bondowner), or (d) violation of a law or ordinance affecting the Mortgaged Property or its use.

6.15. F.I.C.A. and Withholding Taxes. Upon request of the Bondowner, the Borrower will furnish the Bondowner with proof satisfactory to the Bondowner of the payment or deposit of F.I.C.A. and withholding taxes required of the Borrower by applicable law. Should the Borrower fail to make any such payment or deposit or furnish such proof within a reasonable time, the Bondowner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without notice to the Borrower: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) set up such reserves in the Borrower’s account as the Bondowner may deem necessary to satisfy the liability therefor. Nothing herein contained shall obligate the Bondowner to make such deposit or payment or set up such reserve, or to ascertain whether such deposit payments are being made by Borrower, nor shall the making of one or more such deposits or payments or the setting up of any such reserve constitute: (i) an agreement on the Bondowner’s part to take any further or similar action; or (ii) a waiver of any default by the Borrower under the terms hereof or of any other agreements between the Borrower and the Bondowner.
