Audit Committee
The Board of Directors
formed an Audit Committee on May 13, 2002. The members of the Audit Committee operate pursuant to a charter developed by the Board of
Directors. The Board has determined that all Audit Committee members qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” for
purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC and that each of these members is sufficiently proficient in reading and understanding
our financial statements to serve on the Audit Committee.
With the exception of Mr. King and Mr. Hempel,
members of the Audit Committee are considered independent members under the Securities and Exchange Act rules and regulations.
The Audit Committee has reviewed with management
and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of the Company's significant accounting policies. The Audit Committee has considered
and reviewed with the independent auditors their audit plans, the scope of the audit, and the identification of audit risks. The Audit
Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and has discussed such financial statements with
the independent auditors.
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures
and the report from the independent accountant required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed
with the independent accountants the independent accountant’s independence. Based upon the review and discussions referred to above,
the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management has the responsibility for the preparation
and integrity of the Company's financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm have the responsibility for
the audit of those statements. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct audits to determine that the Company’s financial
statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In giving
its recommendations, the Audit Committee considered (a) management's representation that such financial statements have been prepared
with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and (b)
the report of the Company’s independent auditors with respect to such financial statements.
Nominating, Compensation and Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors does not have a nominating,
compensation committee or corporate governance committee or committees performing similar functions.
The Directors of the Company are responsible for
developing and recommending corporate governance guidelines, identifying qualified individuals to become directors, recommending selected
nominees to serve on the Board, and overseeing the evaluation of the Board.
In addition, the independent Directors are responsible
for considering and recommending the compensation arrangements for senior management. As part of its other responsibilities, they provide
general oversight of our compensation structure, and, if deemed, necessary, retains and approves compensation consultants and other compensation
experts. Other specific duties and responsibilities of reviewing the performance of executive officers; reviewing and approving objectives
relevant to executive officer compensation; recommending incentive compensation plans; and recommending compensation policies and practices
for service on our Board of Directors.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board of Directors does not have a policy
on whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors should be separate and, if they are to be separate,
whether the Chairman of the Board should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee. Our Board of Directors believes
that it should be free to make a choice from time to time in any manner that is in the best interest of us and our stockholders.
The Board of Directors believes that Mr. King’s
service as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Mr. King possesses
detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges we face and is thus best positioned to develop agendas, to
ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. His combined role enables decisive leadership,
ensures clear accountability, and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders,
employees, and customers and suppliers.
Our Board of Directors believes that the independent directors provide
effective oversight of management.
Board of Directors’ Role in the Oversight
of Risk Management
The Board of Directors has designated the Audit
Committee to take the lead in overseeing risk management at the Board of Directors level. Accordingly, the Audit Committee schedules time
for periodic review of risk management, in addition to its other duties. In this role, the Audit Committee receives reports from management,
independent registered public accounting firm, outside legal counsel, and other advisors, and strives to generate serious and thoughtful
attention to our risk management process and system, the nature of the material risks we face, and the adequacy of our policies and procedures
designed to respond to and mitigate these risks.
In addition to the formal compliance program,
our Board of Directors encourage management to promote a corporate culture that understands risk management and incorporates it into our
overall corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations.

months’ salary as severance payments.
(2) Effective February 2004, Mr. Cefalu entered

Amount included in all other compensation relating
to employee benefit plans
The Company maintains a Family Medical Reimbursement
Plan for the benefit of its executive officers and their dependents. The Plan is funded through a group insurance policy issued by an
independent carrier and provides for reimbursement of 100% of all bona fide medical and dental expenses that are not covered by other
medical insurance plans capped at an annual family maximum. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, the Company paid $14,328 in
premiums each for Mr. King and Mr. Cefalu which amounts are included in the "All Other Compensation" column shown in the preceding
remuneration table.
In July 1984, the Company adopted a Salary Reduction
Plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan's benefits are available to all Company employees who are at least
18 years of age and have completed at least six months of service to the Company as of the beginning of a Plan year. Plan participants
may elect to defer up to 15% of their total compensation as their contributions, subject to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue
code 401(k), and the Company matches their contributions up to a maximum of 6% of their total compensation. A participant's benefits vest
to the extent of 20% after two years of eligible service and become fully vested at the end of six years. During the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2022, the Company made contributions to the Plan for Mr. King in the amount of $17,400 and for Mr. Cefalu in the amount of
$13,941 which amount is included in the "All Other Compensation" column shown in the preceding remuneration table.
Employment agreements of the Company’s officers
provide that they may elect to carry over any unused vacation time to subsequent periods or elect to be paid for such unused vacation
time. Mr. King and Mr. Cefalu did not receive any unused vacation pay in 2022.
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022,
the Company paid life insurance premiums for the benefit of Mr. King and Mr. Cefalu valued at $10,968 and $6,540, respectively.
PROPOSAL 2- ADVISORY
VOTE ON COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVES
As required pursuant
to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), we are asking stockholders to approve the compensation paid to the
company’s named executives, Messrs. King and Cefalu, as disclosed in this proxy statement on pages 6 to 7, in an advisory vote.
In the annual meeting held in March 2014, our shareholders approved a proposal to hold the advisory vote on executive compensation every
three years. The last advisory vote on executive compensation was taken in connection with the annual meeting in March 2017, at which
time our executive compensation was approved.
This advisory proposal,
commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” proposal, is not binding on the Board of Directors. Although the voting results are
not binding, the Board will review and consider them when evaluating our executive compensation program.
The Board recommends
a vote FOR this proposal because it believes that our compensation policies and practices are effective in achieving the Company’s
goals.
PROPOSAL 3 - ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY
OF
FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
In Proposal Number 2
above, we are asking stockholders to vote on an advisory resolution on executive compensation. As required pursuant to Section 14A
of the Exchange Act, in this Proposal Number 3, we are asking stockholders to vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation
should occur every year, every two years or every three years. Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal
on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years, or abstain. This vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation
is non-binding on the Board, although the Board will review and consider the results of this vote when establishing the timing for future
advisory votes such as the one in Proposal Number 2.
This is the second such
advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation we pay our executives. We intend to hold advisory votes on
the frequency of the “say-on-pay” advisory votes every six years, as required under the Exchange Act. We believe, given the
levels of compensation provided our executives and the lack of any current stock option plan or other incentive compensation other than
a bonus, that an advisory vote every six years on the frequency of the “say-on-pay” advisory vote is sufficient.
The Board of Directors
recommends that stockholders vote for holding the advisory vote on executive compensation EVERY THREE YEARS.
PROPOSAL 4 - THE ADOPTION OF THE MICROPAC INDUSTRIES,
INC. 2023 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
On February 8, 2023, the Board of Directors of Micropac has approved
the Micropac Industries Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which provides for the award of Performance-Based
and Time-Vested Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”).

auditors.

Exhibit A
MICROPAC INDUSTRIES INC. 2023
Equity Incentive Plan
1. Purpose.
Micropac Industries Inc.’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) aims to promote Micropac’s long-term financial
success and increase shareholder value by motivating performance through incentive compensation. The Plan provides for discretionary grants
of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to participating employees, consultants, and directors of Micropac and its Related
Companies, subject to the terms in the Plan, the RSU Agreement, and Participant’s obligations and restrictions in Exhibit A
(“Participant’s Obligations”) included in the Awards, which are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan.
The Committee, as defined below, can base an Award on future and past services.
2. Committee.
2.1 Administration.
The Committee consisting of independent directors assigned by the Micropac Board of Directors administers the Plan. Any vacancy on the
Committee, whether due to the action of the Board of Directors or due to any other cause may be filled by a resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors. The full Board of Directors may perform any function of the Committee, in which case the term “Committee”
refers to the Board. The express grant of any specific power to the Committee and taking any action by the Committee will not be construed
as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. The Committee may delegate to officers or managers of Micropac or any subsidiary
or affiliate, or committees thereof, authority (other than the authority to make grants under the Plan) to perform the functions as the
Committee may determine, including administrative functions, subject to terms as the Committee may determine.
2.2 Interpretation.
The Committee has full power and authority to interpret the Plan and RSU Agreements and to determine any questions arising under the Plan.
Its decisions will be final and binding on all Participants in the Plan.
3. Shares
Subject to Grants.
3.1 Number
of Shares. Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 3.3, the aggregate amount of Common Stock that may be issued or delivered
in the Awards under the Plan will not exceed 500,000 Shares. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure proper counting,
avoid double counting, and make adjustments if the number of Shares delivered differs from the number of Shares earlier counted in the
Award. Shares subject to an Award that is canceled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated without delivery of Shares
to Participant will again be available for Awards. Shares withheld or surrendered in payment of the taxes relating to an Award are not
delivered to Participant and will be available again for Awards under the Plan.
3.2 Character
of Shares; Reservation of Shares. Common Stock delivered under the Plan will be issued as Common Stock held in Micropac’s treasury.
At all times, there will be reserved for Awards under the Plan an amount of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of Shares in Section
3.1, reduced by the number of Shares earlier issued or delivered as a result of this Plan.
3.3 Adjustments.
If any large, special, and non-recurring dividend or other distribution (whether as cash or property other than Common Stock), recapitalization,
forward or reverse split, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange, liquidation,
dissolution, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Common Stock such that the Committee determines an adjustment
is proper under the Plan, the Committee will, as it may consider fair, adjust any or all of the number and kind of Shares reserved and
available for Awards under the Plan.
4. Employees
Eligible. Awards may be granted to or for the benefit of any Micropac employee or its subsidiary whom the Committee selects for participation
for a given performance year. Any reference to the employment of a Participant includes their employment with Micropac or any of its Related
Companies.
5. RSUs.
5.1 General.
For the performance year 2023 and each performance year thereafter during which the Plan remains in effect (each, a “Performance
Period”), each eligible employee selected by the Committee to participate will be granted an Award. Each Award will be evidenced
by an RSU Agreement which will set the terms of the Award, including, the date or dates upon which the Award will vest and the circumstances
(including, without limitation, Separation from Service or failure to satisfy one or more restrictive covenants or other ongoing obligations)
under which the Award will not vest. The Award may also be subject to other terms consistent with the Plan as the Committee determines.
5.2 Grant
of Time-Based RSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, Time-Based RSUs vest ratably over a three-year
period (i.e., ⅓ of Time-based RSUs vest on each anniversary of the date of grant) provided Participant has continuously been employed
with Micropac or a Related Company through such respective Vesting Date.
5.3 Grant
of Performance-Based RSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Performance-Based Awards may be granted to Participants
in such amounts and upon such other terms, including the Performance Goals, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For
each Performance-Based Award, the Committee will specify the payment amount or payment range, whether the Award is payable in cash or
Shares, the time and method of settlement, and other terms and conditions, as applicable, of such Award, including that the vesting and/or
payment of the Award is subject to the attainment of one or more Performance Goals during a Performance Period.
| 5.3.1 | Performance Goals relating to the payment or vesting of an Award that is intended to be “qualified
performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code will include one or more of the following Performance Goals as
the Committee may consider proper: |
| · | earnings per share (actual or targeted growth); |
| · | net income after capital costs; |
| · | net income (before or after taxes); |
| · | return measures (including, return on average
assets, risk-adjusted return on capital, or return on average equity); |
| · | stock price (including growth measures and total
shareholder return); |
| · | economic value added or EVA(R); |
| · | customer satisfaction measures; |
| · | balance sheet management; |
| · | Fair Market Value of Shares; |
| · | reduction or maintenance in noninterest expense; |
| · | risk management measures, including interest-sensitivity
gap levels, regulatory compliance, satisfactory internal or external audits, and financial ratings; |
| · | Share price appreciation; and |
| · | tangible common equity or return on tangible
common equity. |
| 5.3.2 | Establishment of Performance Goals. For any Award that is intended to be “qualified performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee will establish the Performance Goals for each Performance Period in
writing in advance of each new award cycle (set in October planning cycle in the FY Plan). |
| 5.3.3 | Certification of Performance Goals. For any Award that is intended to be “qualified performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, as of the end of each Performance Period, the Committee will certify in writing
the extent to which a Participant has or has not met Participant’s Performance Goal(s). To the extent consistent with Section 162(m)
of the Code, Performance Goals may be calculated without regard to extraordinary items or adjusted, as the Committee considers equitable,
in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting Micropac and/or its Related Companies or changes in applicable tax laws or
accounting principles. |
5.4 Nature
of RSUs; Accounts. Each RSU represents an opportunity to earn a single Share of Micropac stock to be delivered upon settlement, subject
to a risk of cancellation and other terms in this Plan, the RSU Agreement, and any additional terms set by the Committee. Micropac will
set up and maintain an account for Participant to record RSUs and transactions and events affecting the units. RSUs and other items reflected
in the account will represent only bookkeeping entries by Micropac to evidence unfunded Micropac obligations.
5.5 Settlement
Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.6, RSUs (if not previously canceled) will be automatically settled as soon as practicable
upon vesting or no later than 2½ months after the later of: (i) the end of the employee’s tax year (always the calendar year)
during which the Performance-based RSUs and Time-based RSUs, as applicable, vested; or (ii) the end of the employer’s tax year during
which the Performance-based RSUs and Time-based RSUs, as applicable, vested.
5.6 Vesting
of RSUs. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or unless otherwise provided in the RSU Agreement, in the event of Participant’s
Separation from Service, Participant’s RSUs which are not vested as of the date of the Separation from Service, will not vest and
will be canceled at once for no value.
| 5.6.1 | Participant’s Death or Disability. In the event of Participant’s Separation from Service
due to death or disability, vesting of any unvested RSUs will be prorated based on the date of the Separation from Service, and the units
will be settled in full by delivery of Shares as promptly as practicable following the Separation from Service. The consequences of a
Participant’s Separation from Service for any other reason will be as set in the RSU Agreement. |
| 5.6.2 | Employment Termination. If Participant voluntarily or involuntarily separates from service, whether
“for cause” or “not for cause,” any unvested RSUs will be forfeited, and the units will again be available for
Awards under the Plan. |
| 5.6.3 | Change in Control. In the event of Micropac’s Change in Control (“CIC”),
it will be considered as a double trigger (CIC event followed by a termination of employment) unless acquirer fails to assume, convert,
or otherwise make-whole unvested awards at which point awards would fully accelerate upon the CIC event. |
5.7 Restriction
on Transferability before Vesting. Before vesting, Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the RSUs or the
Shares issuable in settlement thereof, except to the extent specifically approved by the Committee or as provided in the RSU Agreement.
5.8 Delivery
of Shares in Settlement of RSUs. Micropac may deliver Shares hereunder in settlement of RSUs by either (A) delivering one or more
certificates representing the Shares to Participant, registered in the name of Participant (and any joint name, if so directed by Participant),
(B) depositing the Shares into an account maintained for Participant (or of which Participant is a joint owner, with the consent of Participant)
by a broker-dealer affiliated with Micropac or any such account set up in any Micropac Plan or arrangement providing for investment in
Common Stock and under which Participant’s rights are similar in nature to those under a stock brokerage account, or (C) delivering
the Shares to the Trustee of a pension plan of which Participant is a member.
5.9 Trusts.
The Committee may, in its discretion, set up one or more trusts and deposit therein amounts of cash, Common Stock, or other property not
exceeding the amount of Micropac’s expected obligations regarding a Participant’s account set up under this Section 5. In
such case, the amounts of hypothetical income and appreciation and depreciation in value of the account will be equal to the actual income
on, and appreciation and depreciation of, the assets in the trust(s). In spite of any other provisions in the Plan, the timing of allocations
and other events relating to assets in the account may be varied to reflect the timing of allocations and events relating to actual investments
of the assets of the trust(s).
6.
General Provisions.
6.1 Limitation
on Rights Conferred Under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder may be construed as:
| (i) | giving Participant the right to continue in the employ or service of Micropac or a Related Company; |
| (ii) | interfering with the right of Micropac or a Related Company to terminate Participant’s employment
or service at any time; |
| (iii) | giving Participant any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other
Participants and employees; or |
| (iv) | conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a Micropac stockholder until Participant is duly issued
or transferred Shares of Common Stock under the terms of an Award. |
Except as expressly
provided in the Plan and RSU Agreement, neither the Plan nor any RSU Agreement may confer on any person other than Micropac and Participant
any rights or remedies thereunder.
6.2 Committee
may Impose Conditions; Right of Setoff. Micropac or any Related Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deduct from
and set off against any amounts Micropac or a Related Company may owe to a Participant from time to time under any Award, any amounts
owed by Participant to Micropac or any Related Company, although Participant will remain liable for any part of Participant’s payment
obligation not satisfied through deduction and setoff.
6.3 Tax
Withholding Obligation. Whenever under the Plan, a Participant or a Trustee incurs federal income tax liability, obligations in Social
Security and Medicare taxes, or other tax obligations in an Award, whether at the time of grant, vesting, or settlement of RSUs, Micropac
may require, as a condition of grant, vesting, or settlement of the Award, that Participant remit or, in proper cases, agree to remit
when due an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements relating thereto. At Micropac’s
election, required withholding amounts may be remitted by check payable to Micropac, in Common Stock, by Micropac’s withholding
of Common Stock issuable or deliverable hereunder, or any combination thereof; provided, however, that Shares may not be withheld to satisfy
Participant’s tax obligation beyond the required tax withholding obligations in Participant’s Award. If so determined by the
Committee, a Participant may be allowed to elect from among alternative methods of satisfying withholding obligations.
6.4 Certain
Limitations Relating to Accounting Treatment of Awards. In spite of any other provisions in the Plan, if any right under this Plan
would cause a transaction to be ineligible for pooling-of-interests accounting that would, but for the right hereunder, be eligible for
such accounting treatment, the right will be automatically adjusted so that pooling-of-interests accounting will be available, including
by substituting Common Stock having a fair market value equal to any cash otherwise payable in respect of any right which would cause
the transaction to be ineligible for pooling-of-interests accounting.
6.5 Governing
Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and any RSU Agreement will
be determined under the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and applicable provisions
of federal law.
6.6 Nonexclusivity
of the Plan. The adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors will not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of
the Board of Directors or a committee thereof to adopt other incentive arrangements, apart from the Plan, as it may consider desirable,
and other arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.
6.7 Changes
to the Plan and Awards. The Board of Directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant
Awards under the Plan without the consent of Participants; provided, however, that without the consent of an affected Participant, no
Board action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award. The Committee may amend any
outstanding Award without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, however, that without such consent, no such action may materially
and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award. For this Section 6.7, accelerated settlement of an Award
will not be considered to materially and adversely affect the rights of a Participant, regardless of the tax consequences to such Participant.
6.8 Compliance
with Legal and other Requirements. Micropac may, to the extent the Committee considers needed or advisable, (A) postpone the issuance
or delivery of Shares or payment of other benefits under any Award until completion of registration or qualification of the Common Stock
or other required action under any federal or state law, rule or regulation, listing or other required action in any stock exchange or
automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock or other securities of Micropac are listed or quoted, or satisfying any other obligation
of Micropac, as the Committee may consider proper, and (B) require any Participant to make such representations, provide such information,
and follow or be subject to such other conditions as it may consider proper before issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of other
benefits following applicable laws, rules, and regulations, listing requirements, or other obligations.
7. Dispute
Resolution.
7.1 General. Except
as otherwise provided in the Plan, all disputes arising under or related to the Plan or the Agreement and all claims in which a Participant
seeks damages or other relief that relate in any way to RSUs or other benefits of the Plan are subject to the dispute resolution procedure
in this Section 7.
| (i) | The term “Units Award Dispute” means any claim against Micropac or a Related Company,
other than Employment Claims described in Section 7.1(ii) below, regarding (A) the interpretation of the Plan or the Agreement, (B) any
of the terms or conditions of the RSUs issued under the Agreement, or (C) allegations of entitlement to RSUs or additional RSUs,
or any other benefits, under the Plan or the Agreement; provided, however, that any dispute relating to Participant’s Obligations
or the forfeiture of an Award as a result of a breach of any of Participant’s Obligations will not be subject to the dispute resolution
procedures provided for in this Section 7. |
| (ii) | The term “Units Damages Dispute” means any claims between Participant and Micropac
or a Related Company (or against the past or present directors, officers, employees, representatives, or agents of Micropac or a Related
Company, whether acting in their capacity as such or otherwise), that are related in any way to Participant’s employment or former
employment, including claims of alleged employment discrimination, wrongful termination, or violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, the Fair Labor Standards
Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or any other U.S. federal, state or local law, statute, regulation, or ordinance
relating to employment or any common law theories of recovery relating to employment, such as breach of contract, tort, or public policy
claims (“Employment Claims”), in which the damages or other relief sought relate in any way to RSUs or other benefits
of the Plan or the Agreement. |
7.2 Internal
Dispute Resolution Procedure. All Units Award Disputes, and all Units Damages Dispute alleging breach of contract, tort, or public
policy claims with respect to the Plan or an Award Agreement (collectively, “Plan Disputes”), will be referred in the
first instance to the Committee for resolution internally. Except where otherwise prohibited by law, all Plan Disputes must be filed in
writing with the Committee no later than one year from the date the dispute accrues. Consistent with Section 7, the arbitrator will make
all decisions relating to the enforceability of the limitations period contained herein. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee
has full power, discretion, and authority to interpret the Plan and to decide all Plan Disputes brought under this Plan. Determinations
made by the Committee will be final, conclusive, and binding, subject only to review by arbitration under Section 7.3 below under
the arbitrary and capricious standard of review.
7.3 Arbitration.
All appeals from determinations by the Committee as described in Section 7.2 above, and any Units Damages Dispute, must be fully
and finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) on an individual basis
(and not on a collective or class action basis) before a single arbitrator pursuant to the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules in
effect at the time any such arbitration is initiated. Any such arbitration must be initiated in writing pursuant to the aforesaid rules
of the AAA no later than one year from the date that the claim accrues, except where a longer limitations period is required by applicable
law. The arbitrator makes decisions about the applicability of any limitations period. A copy of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration
Rules may be obtained from https://www.adr.org. Participant agrees that the arbitration will be held at the office of the AAA nearest
the place of Participant’s most recent employment by Micropac or a Related Company unless the parties agree to a different location
in writing. All claims by Micropac or a Related Company against Participant, except for breaches of any of Participant’s Obligations,
may also be raised in such arbitration proceedings.
| (i) | The arbitrator has the authority to determine whether any dispute submitted for arbitration hereunder
is arbitrable. The arbitrator decides all issues submitted for arbitration following the terms of the Plan, the Award Agreement (except
for breaches of any of Participant’s Obligations), existing Company policy, and applicable substantive Texas State and U.S. federal
law and has the authority to award any remedy or relief permitted by such laws. The final decision of the Committee concerning a Plan
Dispute must be upheld unless such decision was arbitrary or capricious. The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive, not
subject to appeal, and binding and enforceable in any applicable court. |
| (ii) | Participant understands and agrees that, under the Agreement and the Plan, both Participant and Micropac
or a Related Company waive any right to sue each other in a court of law or equity, to have a trial by jury, or to resolve disputes on
a collective, or class basis (except for breaches of any of Participant’s Obligations), and that the sole forum available for the
resolution of Units Award Disputes and Units Damages Disputes is arbitration as provided in this Section 7. If an arbitrator or court
finds that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement are not enforceable, both Participant and Micropac or a Related Company understand
and agree to waive their right to trial by jury of any Units Award Dispute or Units Damages Dispute. This dispute resolution procedure
does not prevent either Participant or Micropac or a Related Company from commencing an action in any court of competent jurisdiction
to obtain injunctive relief to prevent irreparable harm pending and in aid of arbitration hereunder; in such event, both Participant and
Micropac or a Related Company agree that the party who commences the action may proceed without necessity of posting a bond. |
| (iii) | In consideration of Participant’s agreement in Section 7.3(ii) above, Micropac or a Related
Company will pay all filing, administrative, and arbitrator’s fees incurred in the arbitration proceedings. If the AAA requires
Participant to pay the initial filing fee, Micropac or a Related Company will reimburse Participant for that fee. All other fees incurred
in the arbitration proceedings, including each party’s attorney’s fees, will be the responsibility of such party. |
| (iv) | The parties intend that the arbitration procedure to which they agree will be the exclusive means for
resolving all Units Award Disputes (subject to the mandatory Committee procedure provided for in Section 7.2 above) and Units Damages
Disputes. Their agreement in this regard must be interpreted broadly and inclusively as reason permits them to realize that intent. |
| (v) | The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the enforceability of this Section 7. If
for any reason the FAA is held not to apply, or if application of the FAA requires consideration of state law in any dispute arising under
this Agreement or subject to this dispute resolution provision, the laws of the State of Texas apply without giving effect to the conflicts
of laws provisions thereof. |
| (vi) | To the extent an arbitrator determines that Participant was not terminated for Cause and is entitled to
the RSUs or any other benefits under the Plan under the provisions applicable to an involuntary termination without Cause, Participant’s
obligation to execute a release satisfactory to Micropac will remain applicable to receive the benefit of any RSUs under this Agreement. |
7.4 Additional
Remedies. In spite of the dispute resolution procedures, including arbitration in Section 7 of this Plan, and in addition
to any other rights or remedies, whether legal, equitable, or otherwise, that each of the parties to this Plan may have (including the
right of Micropac to terminate Participant for Cause or to involuntarily terminate Participant without Cause), Participant acknowledges
that—
| a) | Participant’s Obligations are important to the continued goodwill and profitability of Micropac
and any Related Company; |
| b) | Participant has broad-based skills that will serve as the basis for other employment opportunities that
are not prohibited by Participant’s Obligations; |
| c) | When Participant’s employment with Micropac or any Related Company ends, Participant will be able
to earn a livelihood without violating any of Participant’s Obligations; |
| d) | Irreparable damage to Micropac or any Related Company will result if Participant’s Obligations are
not specifically enforced and monetary damages will not adequately protect Micropac or any Related Company from a breach of Participant’s
Obligations; |
| e) | If any dispute arises concerning the violation or anticipated or threatened violation by Participant of
any of Participant’s Obligations, an injunction may be issued restraining such violation pending the determination of the controversy,
and no bond or other security is required; |
| f) | Participant’s Obligations continue to apply after any expiration, termination, or cancellation of
this Plan; |
| g) | Participant’s breach of any of Participant’s Obligations will result in Participant’s
immediate forfeiture of all rights and benefits, including all RSUs, under this Plan; and |
| h) | All disputes relating to Participant’s Obligations, including their interpretation and enforceability
and any damages (including but not limited to damages resulting in the forfeiture of an award or benefits under this Plan) that may result
from the breach of such Participant’s Obligations, will not be subject to the dispute resolution procedures, including arbitration,
of section 7 of this Plan, but will instead be determined in a court of competent jurisdiction. |
8. Plan
Effective Date and Termination. The Plan is effective on December 1, 2022 Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board of Directors,
the Plan will remain effective until no Shares of Common Stock remain available for delivery under the Plan, and Micropac has no further
rights or obligations with respect to outstanding Awards under the Plan.
9. United
States Internal Revenue Code § 409A.
9.1 This
Plan is intended to follow Section 409A (to the extent applicable) and, to the maximum extent permitted, this Plan will be interpreted
following such intention. In spite any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, Micropac makes no representation that the Plan or
any amounts payable under this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A
from applying to this Plan.
9.2 If
any amount payable under this Plan forms an amount payable or benefit to be provided under a “nonqualified deferred compensation
plan” (as defined in Section 409A) that is not exempt from Section 409A, and the amount is payable as a result of a Separation from
Service and Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined and determined under Section 409A and any relevant procedures
that Micropac may establish) at the time of Separation from Service, then, in spite any other provision in this Plan to the contrary,
such payment or delivery of Shares will not be made to until the day after the date that is six (6) months following the Separation
from Service, at which time all payments that otherwise would have been paid to Participant during that six-month period, but were not
paid because of this section, will be paid in a single lump sum. This six-month delay will cease to be applicable in the event of death.

|
As part of the Plan to which this Exhibit A is
attached, you, Participant, agree to the following obligations:
1. Noncompetition.
1.1 Prohibited
Conduct. During the period of your employment with Micropac or any Related Company, and for a period ending 12 months following
the termination of your employment for any reason with Micropac or any Related Company, you must not, without the prior written consent
of the Chief Executive Officer of Micropac (or their designee):
| i) | personally engage in Competitive Activities (as defined below); or |
| ii) | work for, own, manage, operate, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control
of, or provide consulting or advisory services to, any person, partnership, firm, corporation, institution, or other entity engaged in
Competitive Activities, or any company or person affiliated with such person, partnership, firm, corporation, institution or other entity
engaged in Competitive Activities; provided that your purchase or holding, for investment purposes, of securities of a publicly traded
company does not constitute “ownership” or “participation in the ownership” for purposes of this paragraph so
long as your equity interest in any such company is less than a controlling interest; provided that this paragraph does not prohibit you
from (i) being employed by, or providing services to, a consulting firm, provided that you do not personally engage in Competitive
Activities or provide consulting or advisory services to any person, partnership, firm, corporation, institution or other entity engaged
in Competitive Activities, or any person or entity affiliated with such person, partnership, firm, corporation, institution or other entity
engaged in Competitive Activities, or (ii) engaging in the practice of law as an in-house counsel, sole practitioner, or as a partner
in (or as an employee of or counsel to) a corporation or law firm per applicable legal and professional standards. Exception (ii), however,
does not apply to any Participant that may be engaging in Competitive Activities or providing services to any person, partnership, firm,
corporation, institution, or other entity engaged in Competitive Activities, wherein such engagement or services being provided are not
solely the practice of law. |
1.2 Competitive
Activities. For purposes of the Plan to which this Exhibit A is attached, “Competitive Activities” means any activities
relating to products or services of the same or similar type as the products or services (1) which were or are sold (or, under an
existing business plan, will be sold) to paying customers of Micropac or any Related Company, and (2) for which you have any direct
or indirect responsibility or any involvement to plan, develop, manage, market, sell, oversee, support, implement or perform, or had any
such responsibility or involvement within your most recent 24 months of employment with Micropac or any Related Company. In spite the
foregoing, an activity will not be treated as a Competitive Activity if the geographic marketing area of such same or similar products
or services does not overlap with the geographic marketing area for the applicable products and services of Micropac or any Related Company.
2. Interference
With Business Relations. During the period of your employment with Micropac or any Related Company, and for a period ending 12 months
following the termination of your employment for any reason with Micropac or any Related Company, you must not, without the prior written
consent of Micropac’s Chief Executive Officer (or their designee):
| i) | recruit, induce, or solicit, directly or indirectly, any employee of Micropac or Related Company for employment
or for retention as a consultant or service provider to any person or entity; |
| ii) | hire or participate (with another person or entity) in the process of recruiting, soliciting, or hiring,
directly or indirectly, (other than for Micropac or any Related Company) any person who is then an employee of Micropac or any Related
Company, or provide, directly or indirectly, names or other information about any employees of Micropac or Related Company to any person
or entity (other than to Micropac or any Related Company) under circumstances that could lead to the use of any such information for purposes
of recruiting, soliciting, or hiring any such employee for any person or entity; |
| iii) | interfere, or attempt to interfere, directly or indirectly, with any relationship of Micropac or any Related
Company with any of its employees, agents, or representatives; |
| iv) | solicit or induce, or in any manner attempt to solicit or induce, directly or indirectly, any client,
customer, or prospect of Micropac or any Related Company (1) to cease being, or not to become, a customer of Micropac or any Related
Company, or (2) to divert any business of such customer or prospect from Micropac or any Related Company; or |
| v) | otherwise interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to interfere with or disrupt, directly or indirectly, the
relationship, contractual or otherwise, between Micropac or any Related Company and any of its customers, clients, prospects, suppliers,
consultants, employees, agents, or representatives. |
3. Effect
of a Material Restatement of Financial Results; Recoupment
3.1 General. In
spite anything in the Plan to the contrary, you agree that, to the extent Micropac or any Related Company is required to materially restate
any financial results based upon your willful misconduct or gross negligence while employed by Micropac or any Related Company (and where
such restatement would have resulted in a lower payment being made to you), you will be required to repay all previously paid or deferred
(i) RSUs and (ii) short-term incentive awards that were provided to you during the performance periods that are the subject
of the restated financial results, plus a reasonable rate of interest. For purposes of this paragraph, “willful misconduct”
and “gross negligence” is determined by the Committee. The Micropac Board of Directors will determine whether a material
restatement of financial results has occurred. If you do not repay the entire amount required under this paragraph, Micropac may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, offset your obligation to repay against any source of income available to it, including but not limited
to any money you may have in your nonqualified deferral accounts.
3.2 Requirements
of Recoupment Policy or Applicable Law. The repayment rights contained in this Section 3.1 is in addition to, and does not limit,
any other rights or remedies that Micropac may have under law or in equity, including, without limitation, (i) any right that Micropac
may have under any Company recoupment policy that may apply to you, or (ii) any right or obligation that Micropac may have regarding
the clawback of “incentive-based compensation” under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (as
determined by the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
or under any other applicable law. By accepting this award of RSUs, you agree and consent to Micropac’s application, implementation,
and enforcement of any such Micropac recoupment policy (as it may be in effect from time to time) that may apply to you and any provision
of applicable law relating to cancellation, rescission, payback or recoupment of compensation and expressly agree that Micropac may take
such actions as are permitted under any such policy (as applicable to you) or applicable law, such as the cancellation of RSUs and repayment
of amounts previously paid or deferred with respect to any previously granted RSUs or short-term incentive awards, without further consent
or action being required by you.
4. Return
of Company Property; Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights. You agree that on or before termination of your employment for any
reason with Micropac or any Related Company, you must return to Micropac all property owned by Micropac or any Related Company or in which

data, records, and any other non-public information (whether on paper or in tapes, disks, memory devices, or other machine-readable form),
office equipment, credit cards, and employee identification cards. You acknowledge that Micropac (or, as applicable, a Related Company)
is the rightful owner of, and you hereby do grant and assign, all right, title, and interest in and to any programs; ideas, inventions,

to (i) Micropac’s or a Related Company’s past, present, or future business, or (ii) Micropac’s or a Related
Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research, development, or procurement activities. You must at all times, both before
and after termination of your employment, cooperate with Micropac (or, as applicable, any Related Company) and its representatives in
executing and delivering documents requested by Micropac or a Related Company, and taking any other actions, that are needed or requested
by Micropac or a Related Company to assist Micropac or any Related Company in patenting, copyrighting, protecting, registering, or enforcing
any programs; ideas, inventions, and discoveries (patentable or unpatentable); works of authorship, data, information, and other copyrightable
material; trademarks; or other intellectual property rights, and to vest title thereto solely in Micropac (or, as applicable, a Related
Company).

Related Company. “Proprietary Information” means any information or data related to Micropac or any Related Company,

A have the definitions given to those terms in the Plan to which this Exhibit A is attached.
7. Agreement
to Participant’s Obligations. You will indicate your agreement to these Participant’s Obligations following the instructions
provided in the Plan, and your acceptance of the Plan and the Award Agreement will include your acceptance of these Participant’s
Obligations. You and Micropac expressly agree that the use of electronic media to indicate confirmation, consent, signature, acceptance,

Obligations in paper form.
