the following circumstances:

 

A.           Lender has made a term loan to Borrower in the original principal amount of $2,850,000.00 (the “Term Loan”),

B.            The Notes are secured by a lien on the assets of Borrower pursuant to that certain Security Agreement by and between Borrower
and Lender dated December 20, 2016 (the “Security Agreement”). The Notes are further secured by that certain Mortgage,
Security Agreement and Financing Statement dated December 20, 2016 made by Borrower in favor of Lender (the “Mortgage”).
The Notes are further secured by the unlimited guaranty of TechPrecision Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”)
pursuant to that certain Unlimited Guaranty dated as of December 20, 2016 made by Guarantor in favor of Lender (the “Guaranty”).

 

C.            Borrower
has requested that Lender: i) increase the maximum principal amount of the Line of Credit from $1,000,000.00 to $3,000,000.00,
ii) modify the borrowing base for the Line of Credit, and iii) reduce the interest rate on the Line of Credit, and Lender has agreed
on the condition that the Loan Agreement be modified as set forth herein.

1.5           The following new Section 2.6 is hereby inserted in the Loan Agreement:

 

		“2.6	LIBOR Disclaimer of Liability.

 

The interest rate
on LIBOR Loans may be determined by reference to ICE LIBOR. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate
at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the
U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks
to make rate submissions to ICE for purposes of ICE setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that
commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference
rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry
initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered
rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth
in Section 2.7 of this Agreement, such Section 2.7 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Bank
will notify the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7 in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the LIBOR Loans is based.
However, the Bank does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration,
submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of LIBOR Rate or with
respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition
or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant
to Section 2.7, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or
liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

1.6          The following new Section 2.7 is hereby inserted in the Loan Agreement:

 

		“2.7.	LIBOR Replacement.

 

(a) If the Bank determines
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to
match fund LIBOR Loans are not available in the relevant market, or (ii) the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans is not ascertainable
or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans, then the Bank shall suspend the availability
of LIBOR Loans and require any affected LIBOR Loans to be converted to Base Rate Loans or repaid, in either case subject to the
payment of any funding indemnification amounts required, if any, hereunder.

 

(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any provisions in the other Loan Documents, in the event the Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.7(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to
be temporary, or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.7(a) have not arisen but (A) ICE or any successor Person that takes
over the administration and the quoting services of LIBOR Rate (the “LIBOR Administrator”) permanently or indefinitely
discontinues its administration and publication of LIBOR Rate for deposits in U.S. dollars, or (B) the LIBOR Administrator, the
supervisor of the LIBOR Administrator or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Bank has made a public statement
identifying a specific date after which LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or after which
a screen rate for LIBOR Rate will be permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (C) the supervisor of the LIBOR Administrator
has made a public statement that the LIBOR Administrator is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue
publication of LIBOR Rate for deposits in U.S. dollars), or (iii) a rate other than LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark
rate for newly bank-originated commercial loans in dollars in the U.S. market, then, in each case, the Bank shall notify the Borrower
of such an event and shall select, in its sole discretion, as of any such determination date, an alternate rate of interest, together
with any spread or adjustment to be applied to such an alternate rate of interest to account for the effects of the transition
from LIBOR Rate to such an alternate rate of interest, to replace LIBOR Rate giving due consideration to the then prevailing market
convention for determining a rate of interest for comparable bank-originated commercial loans in the United States at such time,
such alternate rate to become effective immediately upon notification by the Bank to the Borrower. If deemed necessary by the Bank,
the Borrower agrees to enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related
changes to this Agreement as Bank may request. Upon the occurrence of any of the above events and until an alternate rate of interest
shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.7(b), any request pursuant to a Revolver Advance that requests the conversion
of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and any such Loan shall be automatically continued
as or converted to, as the case may be, a Base Rate Loan, and if any request pursuant to a Revolver Advance requests a LIBOR Loan,
such Loan shall instead be made as a Base Rate Loan. If the alternate rate of interest determined pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)
shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.”

the London interbank offered rate) (“ICE LIBOR”) for the equivalent LIBOR Interest Period as published by ICE (or such

The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
regard to its conflict of law rules, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other documents executed in connection herewith (the “Loan Documents”), or
for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Massachusetts sitting State court or, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any Federal court sitting therein. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the
Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower
or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

Borrower hereto irrevocably consent to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11 of the Loan Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will affect
the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

 

The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or any other Loan Document in any court in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

In case any one or more provisions of this
Agreement shall be found by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason or
in any respect or circumstance, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not limit or impair the validity or enforcement of any
other provision hereof or affect the validity or enforcement of the provisions of this Note under any other circumstances.

 

This Note and all other Loan Documents
(i) represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning the extension of credit
under this Note, (ii) replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and Borrower concerning the extension of credit
under this Note, and (iii) are intended by the Bank and the Borrower as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms
agreed to by them. Any conflict between any of the terms of the Commitment Letter and this Note or any of the Loan Documents shall
be governed by the terms of this Note and the Loan Documents. No waiver of compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this
Note or the Loan Documents shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Bank. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank
in the exercise of any power, right, or privilege hereunder or under or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of
any other right, power, or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Note any other Loan Document are cumulative to,
and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. The Bank retains all rights hereunder notwithstanding any course
of conduct to the contrary.

 

The Borrower agrees, to pay on demand all
reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Bank in connection with the preparation, administration, and enforcement of
this Note and the Loan Documents and any other agreement or instruments executed in connection therewith, and any waiver or amendment
of any provision hereof or thereof, any “workout” or restructuring under this Note including, without limitation, and
reasonable attorney’s fees. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Bank from and hold them harmless against any taxes, charges,
fees and costs which the Bank, in its sole discretion; undertake to pay on behalf of Borrower. In the event that any case is commenced
by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank
shall be entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such party in the preservation, protection,
or enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall survive payment of this
Note and assignment of any rights hereunder.

 

Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice,
protest, notice of acceptance of the Loan Agreement, notice of any loan made, credit or other extensions granted, collateral received
or delivered or any other action taken in reliance hereon, all demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, or enforcement of this Note or other evidence of indebtedness and all other demands and notice of any description,
except for any notices to be provided to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Note and/or the other Loan Documents. With respect
to both the obligations and the collateral, Borrower assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other
forgiveness or indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person
primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of
any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Bank may deem advisable.

The Borrower shall, indemnify the Bank
(and any sub-agent thereof), and each “Related Party” of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities
and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and
hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of
any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Note, any other Loan Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions, (ii) the loan evidenced hereby or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom,
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower
or any of its subsidiaries, or any liability under environmental law related in any way to Borrower or any of its subsidiaries,
or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based
on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee
is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Borrower shall not assert, and Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with,
or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use
by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
herein, except to the extent that such damages resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

Borrower hereby grants to the Bank a continuing
lien, security interest, and right of setoff as security for all of its liabilities and obligations to the Bank under the loan
evidenced hereby and the Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all the deposits, credits,
collateral and property of the Borrower (other than payroll accounts, and clients’ trust and other fiduciary accounts or
escrows) now or hereafter in the possession, custody, or control of, or in transit to, the Bank. Upon demand, or upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or upon receipt by the Bank of any legal process, including summons
to trustee, relating to any material deposits, credits, collateral or property of the Borrower, in the possession, custody or control
of, or in transit to, the Bank, without further demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower), the Bank
may set off the same or any part thereof and pay over such sums to the Bank to be applied to any liability or obligation of Borrower,
even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan evidenced hereby. TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES
THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SET OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER,
ARE HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

 

This Amended and Restated
Promissory Note amends, restates, supersedes and replaces in its entirety that certain Promissory Note made by Borrower in favor
of Bank dated December 20, 2016, as amended by the First Modification to Loan Agreement and First Modification and Allonge to Promissory
Note dated December 19, 2018.
