3. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT | Newstar Debt During 2012, in conjunction with its acquisition of the assets within Aero-Missile and Creative Assembly, the Company recapitalized its existing debt and paid for the acquisition with a new credit facility (the "Newstar Facility") consisting of a $2.5 million term loan (the "NewStar Term Loan") and a $10 million revolving loan (the "Newstar Revolving Loan") arranged and administered by Newstar Business Credit, LLC ("Newstar"). Borrowings under the Newstar Facility were governed by that Loan and Security Agreement by and between Precision Aerospace Components, Inc., as Parent and an Obligor, Freundlich Supply Company, Inc, Tiger-Tight Corp., Apace Acquisition I, Inc., Apace Acquisition II, Inc. as Borrowers, Newstar Business Credit, LLC, as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders from time to time party hereto dated as of May 25, 2012 (the "Newstar Credit Agreement"). On May 25, 2012, Apace Acquisition I, Inc. changed its name to Aero-Missile Components, Inc. and Apace Acquisition II, Inc changed its name to Creative Assembly Systems, Inc. Borrowings under the Newstar Credit Agreement bore interest, at the Company's election, at a rate tied to one of the following rates, in each case plus a specified margin: (i) the prime lending rate, but not less than 3.25%, or (ii) adjusted one-month LIBOR, plus 3.5%. The interest margin for each such type of borrowing varied from 1.50% to 7.60%, depending on the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. At the end of 2014, the interest rate on the Newstar Term Loan was 11.1%. On the Newstar Revolving Loan the interest rate was 8%. As of December 31, 2014, approximately $7,873,994 was outstanding on the Newstar Facility, of which $729,167 was the term loan, at a weighted interest rate of 8.30%. All Newstar debt was due May 25, 2015. The Company violated several financial covenants under the Newstar Credit Agreement after the acquisition of Aero-Missile and Creative Assembly. The Newstar Credit Agreement was amended on July 27, 2012, approximately two months after its acquisition of Aero-Missile and Creative Assembly. Between May 25, 2012 and December 31, 2014, the Newstar Credit Agreement was amended thirteen (13) times. On May 1, 2014, pursuant to the eighth amendment to the Newstar Credit Agreement, Newstar required the Company to engage an investment bank to explore strategic alternatives. Up until this point, the Company's leadership and board of directors failed to attract any capital or provide any long term solutions to the Company's status of default. The Company retained Variant Capital Advisors ("Variant") on May 13, 2014 as the Company's investment bank. Pursuant to the engagement letter executed between the Company and Variant, the Company, starting in June 2014 owed Variant a retainer of $10,000 per month. The retainer fee was never paid and accrued monthly. In addition, Variant was owed a transaction fee equal to 5% of the value of any recapitalization or refinancing transaction. On January 16, 2015, the Company and Variant agreed to a liquidated transaction fee of $400,000 for all amounts due to Variant under the engagement letter, payable over several months. As of August 31, 2015, the Company has paid the entire $400,000 due to Variant. Banyan Crest Capital LLC On or about January 7, 2015, the entire Newstar Facility was sold to Banyan Crest Capital LLC ("Banyan"). Newstar resigned as administrative agent for the Newstar Facility and Banyan assumed the role as administrative agent of the Newstar Facility on January 7. On January 7, 2015 Banyan mailed a notice of foreclosure to the Company pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The foreclosure sale was scheduled for January 17, 2015. On January 16, 2015, PGH and C3 re-financed the Company's defaulted loan and injected additional funds for working capital. On January 16, 2015, Company paid the entire balance of the Newstar Facility to Banyan. Emergency Refinancing On or about January 10, 2015, the Company contacted Polymathes Capital about avoiding the foreclosure sale scheduled for January 17, 2015. On January 16, 2015 (the "Effective Date"), the Company together with all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into definitive agreements with Precision Group Holdings LLC ("PGH") and C3 Capital Partners III L.P. ("C3") to effectuate a series of transactions to recapitalize the Company (the "Transactions" or the "Emergency Refinancing"). As part of the Transactions, on the Effective Date, PGH and C3 purchased 77,791,534 newly issued shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company for $431,923. (See Stock Purchase Agreement below) In addition, C3 was granted 8,000,000 newly issued shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company in consideration for providing two loans to the Company in the aggregate amount of $9,000,000. The newly issued shares collectively represent approximately 86.22% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Transactions, the Company will increase its authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 800,000,000 so as to be able to issue an additional grant of equity to C3 of 51,825,111 shares of Common Stock and sell an additional 595,988,880 shares of Common Stock to PGH and C3 for a total purchase price of $68,257. Upon the consummation of the Transactions, PGH and C3 will collectively own 98.1% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company. Securities Purchase Agreement On the Effective Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement) with C3, pursuant to which the Company and its Subsidiaries authorized the issuance and sale to C3 of (1) a Senior Secured Note issued by the Subsidiaries in the amount of $5,500,000 ("Note A"), (2) a Subordinated Secured Note issued by the Subsidiaries in the amount of $3,500,000 ("Note B"), and (3) 8 million shares of unregistered Common Stock for a loan from C3. In addition, in partial consideration for providing the two loans the Company will issue an additional number of shares of unregistered Common Stock to C3 at the Second Closing that, together with the initial issuance of 8 million shares, will cause C3 to have received 8% of the total Common Stock of Precision after the Second Closing (collectively, the "Granted Equity"). In addition, the Company issued C3 shares of unregistered Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (see below) (the "Purchased Equity"). The issuance and sale of the Granted Equity was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Note A will accrue at 11% interest per annum, with 10% payable monthly and 1% accruing to the outstanding balance of Note A, payable at maturity. Note A has a Maturity Date of January 16, 2020. If Note A principal is prepaid from a recapitalization of outside capital, a prepayment penalty will apply on the following schedule: (1) 5% of the amount prepaid until the first anniversary of Note A, (2) 4% of the amount prepaid after the first anniversary until the second anniversary of Note A, (3) 3% of the amount prepaid after the second anniversary of Note A until the third anniversary of Note A, (4) 2% of the amount prepaid after third anniversary of Note A until the fourth anniversary of Note A, and (5) 1% of the amount prepaid after the fourth anniversary of Note A until the Maturity Date. Note A is secured against all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. On March 31, 2015, Note A had a principal balance of $5,500,000. Note B will accrue at 14% interest per annum. Note B has a Maturity Date of January 16, 2020. If Note B principal is prepaid from a recapitalization of outside capital, a prepayment penalty will apply on the following schedule: (1) 3% of the amount prepaid until the first anniversary of Note B, (2) 2% of the amount prepaid after the first anniversary until the second anniversary of Note B, and (3) 1% of the amount prepaid after the second anniversary of Note A until the third anniversary of Note B. Note B is secured against all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. On March 31, 2015, Note B had a principal balance of $3,500,000. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, so long as Note A remains outstanding, C3 will have the right to control the Company's board of directors, which will be limited to no more than five (5) members during this time. Once Note A is paid in full and for so long as Note B remains outstanding, C3 will have the right to elect and control one (1) member seat of the Company's board. The Company has granted C3 a put right under the Securities Purchase Agreement for the Common Stock C3 has received (whether by purchase or grant) at any time after the earlier to occur of (1) the fifth (5th ) anniversary of the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement for Common Stock (for Granted Equity), (2) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement (for Purchased Equity), (3) payment in full of the amounts owed under Note A and Note B, or (4) upon an Event of Default, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The put right may be exercised by C3 for all or a portion of the Common Stock at an agreed upon valuation of the Company. The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants, representations and warranties of the parties, including, among others, (1) the grant by the Company to C3 of a lienon all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (2) a pledge with respect to all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries to secure the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (3) an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee by the Company of the performance of the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (3) non-compete agreements with certain executive officers of the Company, and (4) the assignment to C3 of key-man life insurance policies for certain of the Company's executive officers. In addition, until all amounts under Note A and Note B are paid in full, the Company has also agreed to comply with certain financial covenants that require the Company to meet pre-established financial ratios. C3 requires the company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1, and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 3 to 1 for the year of 2015, dropping to 2.75 to 1 for the year 2016. For the purposes of calculating EBITDA, the Company makes certain adjustments and add backs for expenses that are deemed one time. As of the current date, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants with the exception that net debt to EBITDA exceeded the ratio of 3 to 1 for all quarters of 2015. C3 has waived this covenant default for the entire year of 2015. The Company is also required to conduct its business in the ordinary course and take certain actions only with C3's prior consent. In conjunction with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the parties entered into other Transaction Agreements on the Effective Date, including a Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement, whereby (1) C3 was granted a security interest in all existing and future property of the Company and its Subsidiaries to secure the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of their Obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement and (2) all current and future debt owed to certain of the Company creditors became subordinate and subject in right and time of payment to the prior payment in full of all current and future indebtedness owed to C3. Stock Purchase Agreement On the Effective Date as noted above, concurrently with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Andrew S. Prince, Donald Barger, and David Walters (the "Precision Shareholders"), and C3 and Holdings (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Holdings and C3 agreed to purchase a total of 673,780,414 restricted shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 in two installments. The First Closing occurred on the Effective Date resulting in an issuance of 21,003,714 shares of restricted Common Stock to C3 for a purchase price of $116,571 and 56,787,820 shares of restricted Common Stock to Holdings for a purchase price of $315,172. The Second Closing is to occur between 20 and 22 calendar days from the date the necessary disclosures are distributed to Company shareholders in connection with the Certificate Amendment (described below). Upon the Second Closing, the Company shall issue the number of shares of restricted Common Stock to C3 and Holdings to cause C3 and Holdings to collectively own 90.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis for a purchase price equal to $68,257. The issuance and sale of the restricted shares of Common Stock in each installment was, or will be in the case of the second installment, a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In order to effect the second installment of restricted Common Stock, the Company must amend its certificate of incorporation ("Certificate Amendment") to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 800,000,000 shares. The Certificate Amendment was approved by the Company's Shareholders on the Effective Date and will become effective immediately prior to the Second Closing after the necessary information statement is filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and distributed to Company shareholders. The Company has agreed to indemnify C3 and Holdings for all damages, costs, obligations, liabilities, losses, expenses, and fees arising out of a breach of any of the Company's representations, warranties, covenants, or other agreements contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants, representations and warranties of the parties.

C3 will be permitted to elect one (1) director of the Company and each of its subsidiaries for so long as C3 owns shares of Common Stock and allowed to designate two (2) observers to attend all meetings of the Company's board of directors and one (1) observer for each of the Company's subsidiaries. Certain Company actions including, amongst others, amendments to the Company's organizational documents, bankruptcy filings or other similar liquidation events, the redemption or repurchase of shares of Common Stock, the payment of dividends or other distributions, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, incurring indebtedness in excess of $100,000 or entering into a transaction with Company affiliates will require C3's prior written consent. Conversion of Preferred Stock to Common Stock On January 16, 2015, the majority of shareholders of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to amend the Statements of Designation to automatically convert all of the outstanding shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a fixed ratio of 1.554.

In addition, as a result of this transaction, there are no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. Refinancing with Webster Business Credit Corporation On August 25, 2015, the Company established a new revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $7.5 million (the "WBCC Revolving Loan") by entering into a Credit Agreement (the "WBCC Credit Agreement") with Webster Business Credit Corporation, as Lender ("WBCC"). The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Freundlich Supply Company, Inc., Tiger-Tight Corp., Aero-Missile Components, Inc., and Creative Assembly Systems serve as guarantors of the WBCC Revolving. Borrowings under the WBCC Revolving Loan may be used to finance working capital and other general corporate purposes. On August 25, 2015, pursuant to the WBCC Credit Agreement, the Company used an initial advance of $5,125,000.00 under the Revolving Loan to repay $5,000,000 of principal on Note A issued by the Subsidiaries in favor of C3 Capital Partners III, L.P. A principal balance of $500,000 remains on Note A. Pursuant to the partial repayment to C3, the Company incurred a $250,000 prepayment penalty, of which $125,000 was paid to C3 on August 25, 2015. The remaining $125,000 was due in installments during the fourth quarter of 2015, during which $25,000 was paid and the remainder was accrued. Borrowings under the WBCC Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's election, at a rate tied to one of the following rates: (i) the prime lending rate plus 1.25% or (ii) the adjusted daily LIBOR rate plus 2.75%. Borrowings under the WBCC Credit Agreement are senior to Note A and Note B The outstanding principal amount of any borrowings under the WBCC Revolving Loan will be due and payable on August 25, 2018, subject to an earlier maturity date upon an event of default. The WBCC Credit Agreement contains usual and customary covenants for financings of this type, including, among other things: (i) requirements to deliver financial statements, other reports and notices; (ii) restrictions on indebtedness; (iii) restrictions on dividends, distributions and redemptions of equity and repayment of subordinated indebtedness; (iv) restrictions on liens; (v) restrictions on making certain payments; (vi) restrictions on investments; (vii) restrictions on asset dispositions and other fundamental changes; and (viii) restrictions on transactions with affiliates. The WBCC Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. As of the current date, the Company was in compliance with these metrics. Additionally, the WBCC Credit Agreement contained a covenant which required the Company to have implemented a new inventory management and accounting system by December 31, 2015. As of the current date, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant. As of the current date, the Company has begun implementation of the new system and WBCC has taken no action. The Company anticipates completing implementation of the new system by June 30, 2016. The obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the WBCC Credit Agreement are secured by liens and security interests on all assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including a pledge of 100% of the equity of the Subsidiaries. Under the WBCC Credit Agreement, the Company is dependent upon its line of credit to maintain appropriate liquidity. All of the Company's cash flow from operations is required to be swept to its line of credit. The availability from its line is dependent upon accounts receivable and inventory. Under the WBCC Credit Agreement, the Company's interest rate for the WBCC Revolving Loan is linked to indices. Changes in the indices would cause an increase in interest expense. The Company's interest rate on Note A and Note B with C3 is fixed and not linked to indices. Management Services Agreement On January 16, 2015, the Company and Polymathes Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Holdings, ("Consultant"), entered into a Management Services Agreement whereby the Company engaged the Consultant to provide financing and management consulting services to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a month-to-month basis.
