adverse effect on Subscriber). Subscriber is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its
obligations under this Agreement or to purchase the Securities, provided that
for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, Subscriber is assuming
and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of
the Company herein.

      (d) INFORMATION ON COMPANY. The Subscriber has been furnished with or has
had access at the EDGAR Website of the Commission to the SEC Reports. In
addition, the Subscriber has received in writing from the Company such other
information concerning its operations, financial condition and other matters as
the Subscriber has requested in writing (such other information is collectively,
the "OTHER WRITTEN INFORMATION"), and considered all factors the Subscriber
deems material in deciding on the advisability of investing in the Securities.
Subscriber has carefully read, and understands the information in the SEC

matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased
securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in
the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in
financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Subscriber to utilize
the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks
of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed
purchase, which represents a speculative investment. The Subscriber has the
authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Securities.
The Subscriber is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite
period and to afford a complete loss thereof. The information set forth on the
signature page hereto regarding the Subscriber is accurate.

Subscriber does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum amount of time.

      (g) COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT. The Subscriber understands and agrees
that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any
applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction
that does not require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber contained herein),
and that such Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent
disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities
laws or is exempt from such registration.

Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any
and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions or similar
fees other than the persons and entities identified in the Disclosure Schedule

6. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND SUBSCRIBER REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.

      (a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend
the Subscriber, the Subscriber's officers, directors, agents, affiliates,
control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense,
liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any
nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscriber or any such person which
results, arises out of or is based solely upon (i) any material
misrepresentation by Company or material breach of any warranty by Company in
this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other
agreement delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or
cure periods, any material breach or default in performance by the Company of
any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any
other agreement entered into by the Company and Subscriber relating hereto.

      (b) Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend
the Company and each of the Company's officers, directors, agents, affiliates,
control persons against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or
damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed
upon the Company or any such person which results, arises out of or is based
solely upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Subscriber in this Agreement
or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other agreement delivered
pursuant hereto; or (ii)after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any
material breach or default in performance by Subscriber of any covenant or
undertaking to be performed by Subscriber hereunder, or any other agreement
entered into by the Company and Subscriber, relating hereto.

      (c) Any person entitled to indemnification under Section 6(a) or (b) of
this Agreement (an "indemnified party") shall notify promptly the person
obligated to provide such indemnification (the "indemnifying party") in writing
of the commencement of any action or proceeding brought by a third person
against the indemnified party with respect to a Claim (a "Third Party Claim")
for which the indemnified party may be entitled to indemnification from the
indemnifying party under this Section 6, but the omission of such notice shall
not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party under Section 6 of this Agreement, except to the extent that
such failure shall materially adversely affect any indemnifying party or its
rights hereunder. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in,
and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the defense of any Third Party
Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; and, after
notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it so chooses,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses or
disbursements subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with

<PAGE>

the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps
necessary to defend diligently the Third Party Claim within twenty (20) days
after receiving notice from the indemnified party that the indemnified party of
such Third Party Claim; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a defendant in such
Third Party Claim which is also brought against the indemnifying party
reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available to the
indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if
representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate
under applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party shall
have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but
with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each
jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably
shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available to such party or
parties which are not available to the other indemnified parties or to the
extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same counsel is
otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and
the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor;
provided, that no indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability for any
settlement of a Third Party Claim made without its consent (which may not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the indemnifying party
assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim hereunder, such indemnifying party
shall not enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party
if such settlement attributes liability to the indemnified party.

the Notes shall be made to the holders of the Notes pro rata in accordance with

Principal Amount: $_______                       Issue Date: September ___, 2008

                  Junior Subordinated Promissory Note due 2010

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter called "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of
____________(the "Holder"), without demand, the sum of ____________________
Dollars (____________), on the earlier of (i) May 31, 2010 (the "Maturity Date")
or (ii) such date following the date hereof on which the Borrower shall
consummate a debt or equity financing (other than pursuant to the offering (the
"Offering") of Junior Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up
to $5,950,000 which includes this Note) in one or a series of related
transactions of an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or more, if not paid sooner.
Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Junior Subordinated
Promissory Note (this "Note" or the "Note"), at the rate of one percent (1%) per
month from the date hereof until all amounts payable under this Note have been
paid in full and accrued interest shall be payable monthly on the first day of
each month commencing November 1, 2008 and continuing on the first day of each
month thereafter.

      This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time. All payments
made pursuant to this Note shall be applied first to reimbursable expenses,
interest accrued, if any, and then principal.

      This Note has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a securities
purchase agreement between the Borrower and the Holder, dated of even date
herewith (the "SPA"), and shall be governed by the terms of such SPA. Unless
otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note
shall have the same meaning as is set forth in the SPA.

      The following is a statement of rights of the Holder and the conditions to
which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by acceptance of this Note,
agrees:

      1. Subordination. (a) This Note will be subordinate and inferior to the
Company's Senior Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined). The Borrower for itself,
its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees and the Holder of this Note,
for himself, his successors and assigns, by his acceptance of this Note likewise
covenants and agrees that, to the extent provided below, the payment of all
amounts due pursuant to this Note is hereby expressly subordinated and junior in
right of payment to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the
Borrower's Senior Indebtedness. As used herein, the term "Senior Indebtedness"
shall mean the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on any and all,
(i) indebtedness of the Borrower for borrowed money or obligations with respect
to which the Borrower is a guarantor, to banks, insurance companies, or other
financial institutions or entities regularly engaged in the business of lending
money, in each case as in effect as of September 22, 2008, or as may be borrowed
hereafter, other than pursuant to the Offering, for working capital of the
Borrower or one of its subsidiaries, including without limitation, indebtedness
incurred by one or more of Borrower's subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit,
Term Loan, Equipment Line and Security Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2005,
by and between Air Industries Machining, Corp., PNC Bank, National Association,
as Lender, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Agent. And the Loan and
Security Agreement dated as of August 24, 2007 among Air Industries Machining,
Corp., Sigma Metals, Inc., Welding Metallurgy, Inc. and Steel City Capital
Funding LLC, each as amended as of the date hereof, the payment of which has
been guaranteed by the Borrower and (ii) any such indebtedness or any
debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness issued in exchange for or to
refinance such Senior Indebtedness, or any indebtedness arising from the
satisfaction of such Senior Indebtedness by a guarantor, provided that such
indebtedness issued in exchange for or to refinance Senior Indebtedness or
arising from the satisfaction of Senior Indebtedness by a Guarantor is on
commercially reasonable terms as of the date of incurrence not to exceed the
principal amount under such Senior Indebtedness and provided further that the
Borrower provides the Holder with prior written notice of such action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Senior Indebtedness shall not include the amounts
evidenced by the Junior Subordinated Notes dated on or about June 23, 2008.

<PAGE>

            (b) Upon the acceleration of any Senior Indebtedness or upon the
maturity of all or any portion of the principal amount of any Senior
Indebtedness by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all such Senior
Indebtedness which has been so accelerated or matured shall first indefeasibly
be paid in full before any payment is made by the Borrower or any person acting
on behalf of the Borrower on account of any obligations evidenced by this Note.

            (c) The Borrower shall not pay any principal portion of this Note,
or interest accrued thereon, if at such time there exists a Blockage Event (as
hereafter defined) and written notice thereof has been given to the Borrower and
the Holder by the holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

            (d) A "Blockage Event" is deemed to exist for the period of time
commencing on the date of receipt by the Holder of written notice of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (as defined in the instruments
evidencing the Senior Indebtedness), provided that the failure to pay accrued
interest on this Note or the other Notes sold in the Offering when due shall not
give rise to a Blockage Event in the absence of another Default or Event of
Default, which notice shall specify such Default or Event of Default, and ending
on:

                  (i) the date such Default or Event of Default under the Senior
Indebtedness, as applicable, is cured or waived, provided that such Default or
Event of Default is in the payment of any amount due thereunder; or

                  (ii) in the case of any other Default or Event of Default
under the Senior Indebtedness, the earlier of (A) the date on which Holder has
received written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived and (B) the date that is 365days after the occurrence of such
Default or Event of Default, provided that a Blockage Event with respect to a
single specified Default or Event of Default may be deemed to occur only once
for each twelve-month period, provided, further, that no Default or Event of
Default that existed at the commencement of, or during the pendency of, a
Blockage Event shall serve as the basis for the institution of any subsequent
Blockage Event.

A Blockage Event shall not be deemed to have existed during the period of time
commencing on the date upon which the holder of this Note or holders of other
Notes sold in the Offering accelerate payment of the principal amount of this
Note or such other Notes as a result of any Event of Default hereunder or under
such other Notes and ending on the 365th day after written notice of such
acceleration given by the holder or such other holders to the Borrower and the
holders of the instruments evidencing the Senior Indebtedness; provided that in
no event shall the Borrower pay the holder of this Note or the holders of any
other Notes sold in the Offering the principal amount so accelerated if a
Blockage Event then exists until the Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full.

            (e) At any time there exists a Blockage Event, (i) the Borrower
shall not, directly or indirectly, make any payment of any part of this Note,
(ii) the Holder shall not demand or accept from the Borrower or any other person
any such payment or cancel, set-off or otherwise discharge any part of the
indebtedness represented by this Note, and (iii) neither the Borrower nor the
Holder shall otherwise take or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent
with the priority position of any holder of Senior Indebtedness over the Holder
of this Note.

            (f) No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the
subordination provisions of this obligation shall be impaired by any act or
failure to act by the Borrower or the Holder or by their failure to comply with
this Note or any other agreement or document evidencing, related to or securing
the obligations hereunder. Without in any way limiting the generality of the
preceding sentence, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from
time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holder, without incurring
responsibility to the Holder and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Note or the obligations of the Holder to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change
the manner, place or terms of payment of any Senior Indebtedness provided that
such change does not materially impact Holder in an adverse manner; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing any Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any person or entity
liable in any manner for the collection of any Senior Indebtedness; and (iv)
exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or any other
person or entity.

            (g) In the event that the Borrower shall make any payment or
prepayment to the Holder on account of the obligations under this Note which is
prohibited by this Section, such payment shall be held by the Holder, in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis

<PAGE>

of the respective amounts and priorities of Senior Indebtedness held by them) to
the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness due to such holders of
Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with its terms (whether or not such
Senior Indebtedness is due and owing), after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

            (h) After all Senior Indebtedness indefeasibly is paid in full and
until the obligations under the Note are paid in full, the Holder shall be
subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to the Holder have been applied to the payment
of Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or
securities to which the Holder would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Section and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section to
holders of such Senior Indebtedness by the Holder, shall, as between the
Borrower, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the
Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower to or on account of such
Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Section are
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand and the Holder, on the other hand.

            (i) In any insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization proceeding, or in any other proceeding, whether
voluntary or involuntary, by or against the Borrower under any bankruptcy or
insolvency law or laws relating to relief of debtors, to compositions,
extensions or readjustments of indebtedness:

                  (i) the claims of any holders of Senior Indebtedness against
the Borrower shall be paid indefeasibly in full in cash or such payment shall
have been provided for in a manner acceptable to the holders of at least a
majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness
