Stadco Lease

On August 25, 2021, in connection with and as a result of the Acquisition (as defined below) described in Item 2.01, TechPrecision Corporation (the "Company"), through STADCO, a California corporation ("Stadco") and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary acquired as a result of the Acquisition, became party to that certain Amended and Restated Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease - Net (the "Stadco Lease") between Stadco and Broadway Company, LLC (the "Landlord"), with respect to the industrial warehouse and office facilities, including ancillary properties, consisting of approximately 182,544 square feet located at 1931 N. Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90031 (the "Stadco Property"). Additionally, in connection with the Acquisition, Stadco entered into an amendment (the "Lease Amendment") to the Stadco Lease, effective as of August 24, 2021.

The term of the Stadco Lease will expire on June 30, 2030, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Stadco Lease. Under the Lease Amendment, Stadco has agreed to pay $749,931.25 to settle the default amount of rent owed to the Landlord and Stadco's monthly base rent for the Stadco Property will be approximately $78,233.45 per month, with a 20% discount through November 30, 2022, in addition to certain payments for utilities, services and certain other additional rent items (including certain taxes, insurance premiums and operating expenses). Other than as described above, there is no relationship between Stadco and the Company, on the one hand, and the Landlord, on the other hand.

The Stadco Lease contains customary default provisions allowing the Landlord to terminate the Stadco Lease if Stadco fails to remedy a breach of its obligations under the Stadco Lease within the time period specified in the Stadco Lease, or upon certain events of bankruptcy or seizure or attachment of Stadco's assets or interest in the Stadco Lease. The Stadco Lease also contains other customary provisions for real property leases of this type.
