Promissory Note, dated April 17, 2020, by and between Micropac Industries, Inc. and Frost Bank

Exhibit 10.1

PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM PROMISSORY NOTE

1. AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

This Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note (“Note”) governs and evidences the Paycheck Protection Program Loan (“Loan”) that FROST BANK (“Lender”), whose address is Frost Bank, P.O. Box 1600, San Antonio, TX 78296, is providing MICROPAC INDUSTRIES, INC.

(“Borrower”), whose address is 905 E WALNUT. The Loan is established under the terms and conditions of the Paycheck Protection Program of the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and the CARES Act (2020)(H.R. 748)(15 U.S.C 636 et seq.) (the “Act”). Borrower agrees to be bound by and comply with each and every following term and condition of this Note. Lender agrees, based on the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Note, to make available to Borrower the Loan as more fully described herein.

2. PROMISE TO PAY

Borrower promises to pay to FROST BANK, or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One million, nine hundred twenty four thousand, four hundred dollars , ($1,924,400.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof, from the Effective Date set forth above (the “Effective Date”), calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph herein using an interest rate of 1.00% per annum based on a year of 365 days, until maturity.

3. INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD

Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over the number of days in a year (365 for all years, including leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

4. REPAYMENT

a. Subject to subparagraph (b) immediately below, Borrower will pay this loan in 17 equal principal payments of $106,911,11 and one final principal and interest payment of $106,993,12. The Borrower’s first principal payment is due on 11/17/2020 and all subsequent principal payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Interest will accrue at the rate specified herein beginning on the Effective Date of this Note. Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning 11/17/2020 with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Borrower’s final payment due on 04/17/2022 (the “Maturity Date”) will be for all principal and all accrued interest not yet paid. Lender will apply each installment payment first to pay interest accrued to the date Lender received payment, then to bring principal current, and will apply any remaining balance to reduce principal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, any principal or interest due on a date that is not a customary business day shall be payable on the preceding business day.

b. As provided below, Borrower may apply for the Loan to be forgiven in whole or in part. If any portion of the principal and/or accrued interest is forgiven by Lender, then upon such forgiveness, the remaining balance of the loan will be reamortized over (i) the remaining term of this Note; or (ii) 18 months, as Lender may decide in its sole discretion, with the entire unpaid principal balance, along with accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable on the Maturity Date.

5. PERMISSIBLE USE

a. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan only for purposes authorized by the Act, specifically the Paycheck Protection Program contained within such Act and subject to the certifications contained in that paragraph contained herein titled “Certifications and Authorizations”.

b. In no event shall the proceeds of this Note be used for any transaction that is illegal or prohibited under any applicable law or governmental rule or regulation.

6. FORGIVENESS; REDUCTION

a. Subject to subparagraph (b) immediately below, the amount payable hereunder by Borrower will be reduced by the Forgivable Amount (as herein defined). The “Forgivable Amount” shall be such amount of the loan proceeds that Borrower shall have applied to qualifying forgivable purposes listed below, on the condition that (x) Borrower shall have provided to Lender documentation of such application of proceeds that meets the requirements of any guidance issued by the SBA (including but not limited to any Interim Final Rules promulgated by the SBA and/or published in the Federal Register), as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; (y) Borrower shall have maintained, and shall maintain, employee and compensation levels in accordance with any guidance issued by the SBA (including but not limited to any Interim Final Rules promulgated by the SBA and/or published in the Federal Register) as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; and (z) the calculation of such amount shall be further subject to the following paragraph; provided, however, that any amount that Borrower requests to have forgiven that is challenged, disputed or denied by the SBA shall not be a Forgivable Amount or otherwise eligible for forgiveness by the Lender.

b. The actual amount of loan forgiveness will depend, in part, on the total amount of payroll costs, payments of interest on mortgage obligations incurred before February 15, 2020, rent payments on leases dated before February 15, 2020, and utility payments under service agreements dated before February 15, 2020, over the eight-week period following the disbursement of the Loan. Not more than 25% of the loan forgiveness amount may be attributable to non-payroll costs

c. The following is an exhaustive list of qualifying forgivable purposes (each as set forth below and in further detail in the Act and in any Interim Final Rules promulgated by the SBA and/or published in the Federal Register):

1) payroll costs;

2) costs related to the continuation of group health care benefits during periods of paid sick, medical, or family leave, and insurance premiums;

3) for mortgage obligations that were incurred before February 15, 2020;

4) rent payments on leases dated and effective before February 15, 2020;

5) utility payments under service agreements dated and effective before February 15, 2020;

6) interest payments on any other debt obligations that were incurred before February 15, 2020; and/or

7) refinancing an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) made between January 31, 2020 and April 3, 2020.

d. If Borrower has received one or more EIDL advances, the total amount of such advances shall be subtracted from the loan forgiveness amount.

7. NON-RECOURSE

Lender and SBA shall have no recourse against any individual shareholder, member or partner of Borrower for non-payment of the Loan, except to the extent that such shareholder, member or partner uses the loan proceeds for an unauthorized or unlawful purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to alter, modify or waive the repayment or other obligations of a Borrower that is a sole

proprietor, independent contractor, or otherwise eligible self-employed individual under this Note. Furthermore, Lender shall not have recourse for non-payment of the Loan against an individual religious leader with requisite authority signing this Note on behalf of an ecclesiastical or religious subdivision.

8. LATE CHARGES

For each payment of principal, interest, and/or fees which has not been paid in full within eleven (11) days after its date due, Borrower will pay to Lender a late charge of $15.00 or five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion, whichever is greater. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amount of this late fee is reasonable with respect to any such principal, interest, and/or fees, taking into account Lender’s expectation of timely receipt of payments with regard to the favorable pricing of this Loan, and the operational, administrative and regulatory burdens resulting from late payments and delinquencies. To the extent this late fee or any other fee or charge set forth in this Note may be prohibited or may exceed any limit provided by any present or future applicable law, such fee or charge shall be reduced to the maximum amount allowed.

9. PREPAYMENT

Borrower may prepay principal of the Loan at any time without penalty. Borrower may prepay 20 percent or less of the unpaid principal balance at any time without notice. If Borrower prepays more than 20 percent and the Loan has been sold on the secondary market, Borrower must: (a) provide Lender written notice; (b) pay all accrued interest; and (c) if the prepayment is received less than 21 days from the date Lender received the notice, pay an amount equal to 21 days interest from the date Lender received the notice, less any interest accrued during the 21 days and paid under (b) of this paragraph. If Borrower does not prepay within thirty (30) days from the date Lender received the notice, Borrower must provide Lender a new notice.

10. DEFAULT

a. There shall have occurred a default (a “Default”) under this Note if Borrower:

1) Fails to make any payment when due under this Note;

2) Breaches the terms of this Note in any way, including but not limited to failure to do anything required under this Note;

3) Defaults under the terms of any other obligation to Lender;

15) Has payments on the Loan returned or reversed for any reason; or

16) Fails to submit required information to Lender that Lender deems necessary in its sole discretion.

b. If there shall occur a Default specified in the preceding clause 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14, then Borrower shall give notice to Lender within five (5) business days of the occurrence thereof; provided that Borrower’s failure to give such notice shall not preclude the finding of a Default under such provision.

11. REMEDIES

a. In the event of any Default or failure to meet any condition under this Note or comply with any term hereof, or upon any termination of the Loan, Lender may, at its option without waiving any of its rights hereunder, at law or at equity, or otherwise:

1) suspend the funding, advancement or disbursement of any and all loans (including the Loan) made by Lender to Borrower;

b. Without limitation of the foregoing, if there shall occur any Default specified in subsection (8), (9) or (10) of Section 10.a., then all principal and interest outstanding under this Note shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without any further notice of default, notice of acceleration or other notice of any kind from Lender to Borrower, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives.

12. ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS

Borrower agrees to pay Lender’s attorney’s fees and costs: (a) related to this Note; or (b) related to enforcing the terms of this Note against Borrower; or (c) related to collecting any amounts due under this Note from Borrower.

Subject to the paragraph herein titled “Small Business Administration (SBA)”, this Note and the Loan will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the law of the State of Texas without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Note shall not require or permit the payment, taking, reserving, receiving, collection, or charging of any sums

constituting interest that exceed any maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law. Any such excess interest shall be credited against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Borrower.
