TERM NOTE
October 27, 2006
$1,076,180.00 | New Britain, Connecticut | |
For value received, the undersigned EDAC Technologies Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation,
Gros-ite Industries, Inc., a Connecticut corporation and Apex Machine Tool Company, Inc., a
Connecticut corporation (collectively, the “Borrower”), jointly and severally, promise to pay to
the order of TD Banknorth, N.A. (together with its successors and assigns, the “Bank”), the
principal amount of One Million Seventy-Six Thousand One Hundred Eighty Dollars and Zero Cents
($1,076,180.00) on or before October 27, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”), as set forth below, together
with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding
until paid in full. The Borrower shall pay consecutive monthly installments of principal and
interest, as follows: $21,516.90 commencing on November 27, 2006, and the same amount (except the
last installment which shall be the unpaid balance) on the 27th day of each month thereafter. The
aggregate principal balance outstanding shall bear interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to
Seven and Three-Tenths Percent (7.30%).
This Note is secured by an Open-End Mortgage Deed dated December 21, 2004 on real property
located at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, an Open-End Mortgage Deed dated December 21, 2004
on real property located at 1790, 1798 and 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 and a
Security Agreement dated January 3, 2005. This Note is further subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in a Credit Agreement dated January 3, 2005 with any Modifications or Amendments
executed thereafter..
Principal and interest shall be payable at the Bank’s main office or at such other place as
the Bank may designate in writing in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United
States of America without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Interest shall be calculated on the
basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year.
The Borrower may prepay this Note at any time, provided, however, that at the time of any
full or partial pre-payment, the Borrower shall pay the Lender a fee equal to the greater of 1% of
the principal balance being prepaid or a ‘Yield Maintenance Fee’ in an amount computed as follows:
The current costs of funds, specifically the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Classic Advance
Rate comparable to the remaining term of the Note shall be subtracted from the above stated
interest rate, or default rate, if applicable. If the result is zero or a negative number, there
shall be no Yield Maintenance Fee due and payable. If the result is a positive number, then the
resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the scheduled outstanding principal balance for each
remaining monthly period of this Note. Each resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and
multiplied by the number of days remaining in the monthly period. Said amounts shall be reduced to
present values calculated by using the above referenced current cost of funds divided by 12 and
Note’s remaining term in months. The resulting sum of present values shall be the yield
maintenance fee due to the Lender upon prepayment of the principal of the Note plus any accrued
interest due as of the prepayment date.
Unless Lender expressly agrees otherwise, partial payments will not affect the payment
schedule required above.
At the option of the Bank, this Note shall become immediately due and payable without notice
or demand upon the occurrence at any time of any of the following events of default (each, an
“Event of Default”): (1) default of any liability, obligation, covenant or undertaking of the
Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor hereof to the Bank, hereunder or otherwise, including,
without limitation, failure to pay in full and when due any installment of principal or interest

material respect when made; (5) if the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor hereof is a

unsatisfied and in effect for any period of thirty (30) consecutive days without a stay of
execution; (10) any xxxx, xxxx (including mechanics lien) except as permitted under any of the

have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

of the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof in the possession of the Bank, whether for
safekeeping or otherwise, or in transit to or from the Bank (regardless of the reason the Bank had
received the same or whether the Bank has conditionally released the same) as security for the full
and punctual payment and performance of all of the liabilities and obligations of the Borrower
and/or any endorser or guarantor hereof to the Bank and such deposits and other sums may be applied
or set off against such liabilities and obligations of the Borrower or any endorser or guarantor
hereof to the Bank at any time, whether or not such are then due, whether or not demand has been
made and whether or not other collateral is then available to the Bank.
No delay or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or of any other right of the Bank, nor shall any delay, omission or
waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right on any
future occasion. The Borrower and every endorser or guarantor of this Note, regardless of the
time, order or place of signing, waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notices of every kind in connection with the

postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or
release of collateral, and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or
secondarily liable and waives all recourse to suretyship and guarantor defenses generally,
including any defense based on impairment of collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by law,

the Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an “Indemnitee”)
harmless against any claim brought or threatened against any Indemnitee by the Borrower, by any
endorser or guarantor, or by any other person (as well as from attorneys’ reasonable fees and
expenses in connection therewith) on account of the Bank’s relationship with the Borrower or any
endorser or guarantor hereof (each of which may be defended, compromised, settled or pursued by
the Bank with counsel of the Bank’s selection, but at the expense of the Borrower and any endorser
and/or guarantor), except for any claim arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Bank.
The Borrower and each endorser and guarantor of this Note agree to pay, upon demand, costs of
collection of all amounts under this Note including, without limitation, principal and interest,
or in connection with the enforcement of, or realization on, any security for this Note,
including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of 5.0% plus the rate provided for herein.
If any payment due under this Note is unpaid for 15 days or more, the Borrower shall pay, in
addition to any other sums due under this Note (and without limiting the Bank’s other remedies on
account thereof), a late charge equal to 6.0% of such unpaid amount.
This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof and upon
their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, and shall inure to the
benefit of the Bank and its successors, endorsees and assigns.
The liabilities of the Borrower and any endorser or guarantor of this Note are joint and
several; provided, however, the release by the Bank of the Borrower or any one or more endorsers
or guarantors shall not release any other person obligated on account of this Note. Any and all
present and future debts of the Borrower to any endorser or guarantor of this Note are
subordinated to the full payment and performance of all present and future debts and obligations
of the Borrower to the Bank. Each reference in this Note to the Borrower, any endorser, and any
guarantor, is to such person individually and also to all such persons jointly. No person
obligated on account of this Note may seek contribution from any other person also obligated,
unless and until all liabilities, obligations and indebtedness to the Bank of the person from whom
contribution is sought have been irrevocably satisfied in full. The release or

compromise by the Bank of any collateral shall not release any person obligated on account of this
Note.
