On February 23, 2023, Technical Communications Corporation (the “Company”) issued a Fourth Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $4,000,000 in favor of Carl H.

The Note amends and replaces in its entirety the Third Amended and Restated Demand Note by the Company dated August 4, 2022.

The current outstanding principal on the loan is $4,000,000, with $212,348.63 in interest currently on the Company’s books as accounts payable. The loan may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. Payments are due monthly in the amount of $78,264.59 beginning March 2023 over a period of 60 consecutive monthly installments.

The Note has been amended to (i) fix the rate at which interest accrues after the date of the Note on the outstanding principal balance at six and one-half (6.5%) percent, (ii) remove the demand aspect of the Note and to require montly payments of principal and interest, and (iii) add Michelle S.
