12/16/2019 EX-10.1 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: Section 1. Specific Amendments to
Credit Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement is amended
as follows: (a) Section 1.1(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: “(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to
time up to and including February 1, 2021 (the “Expiration Date”), not to exceed
at any time the aggregate principal amount of Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars
($20,000,000.00), provided that, from and after the earlier of (a) January 31,
2020 and (b) the cancellation of the Terminating Letter of Credit, such advances
shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Fifteen Million and 00/100
Dollars ($15,000,000.00) (“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used
(a) to refinance existing indebtedness of the Borrower to Bank of America, N.A.
and (b) for working capital, the issuance of letters of credit, short term
financing of capital equipment, and other general corporate purposes. Borrower’s
obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a
promissory note dated as of the Closing Date (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms
of which are incorporated herein by this reference.” (b) Section 1.1(a)(iii) of
the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety. (c) Section 1.1(b) of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by separating the Section into two
subsections, with the existing text to be labeled as subsection (i) and the
following subsection (ii) to be inserted thereafter: “(ii) Outstanding
borrowings under the Line of Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set
forth in clause (a) of this Section 1.1, shall not at any time exceed an
aggregate of eighty percent (80%) of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts Receivable,
plus twenty-one percent (21%) of the value of Borrower’s eligible inventory
(including unbilled inventory but exclusive of work in process, inventory which
is obsolete, unsaleable or damaged and crating material), with value defined as
the lower of cost or market value; provided, however, that unbilled inventory
shall not be included in eligible inventory after January 31, 2020; provided,
further, that outstanding borrowings against inventory shall not at any time
exceed an aggregate of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000); plus, in
Bank’s sole discretion, a percentage of the value of Borrower’s properly
margined unencumbered equipment, such percentage to be determined by Bank in its
sole discretion, as evidenced by the equipment appraisal delivered to Bank
pursuant to Section 4.12. All of the foregoing shall be determined by Bank upon
receipt and review of all collateral reports required hereunder and such other
documents and collateral information as Bank may from time to time require.
Borrower acknowledges that said borrowing base was established by Bank with the
understanding that, among other items, the aggregate of all returns, rebates,
discounts, credits and allowances for the immediately preceding three (3) months
at all times shall be less than five percent (5%) of Borrower’s gross sales for
said period. If such dilution of Borrower’s accounts for the immediately
preceding three (3) months at any time exceeds five percent (5%) of Borrower’s
gross sales for said period, or if there at any time exists any other matters,
events, conditions or contingencies which Bank reasonably believes may affect
payment of any portion of Borrower’s accounts, Bank, in its sole discretion, may
reduce the foregoing advance rate against Eligible Accounts Receivable to a
percentage appropriate to reflect such 2

HOLD LETTER [SELLER’S NAME] ______________, 201__ [CUSTOMER’S NAME]
__________________________ __________________________ Attention:________________
Dear Customer: From time to time you (the “Customer”) may request that the
undersigned (the “Seller”) manufacture and produce certain goods for future
shipment to you. This will confirm the agreement of Customer and Seller that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any purchase order,
invoice or other agreement between Customer and Seller, title to such goods
manufactured and produced by Seller for Customer and risk of loss as to such
goods passes to Customer when Seller has completed production of the goods
covered by Customer’s order and the goods have been invoiced by Seller to
Customer, notwithstanding that the goods so sold may remain on the premises of
Seller or otherwise in its control or possession. Such goods are held for the
account of Customer and at its risk and each invoice with respect to such goods
issued to Customer by Seller represents a definitive and final sale and Customer
shall pay the same when due, regardless of whether the goods have been shipped
or delivered to Customer as of such time or are otherwise accepted by Customer.
Customer agrees that, except as provided below, in no event shall Customer, or
any person claiming by, through or under it, offset or withhold payment in
respect of any account for any offset, claim, defense, counterclaim, abatement,
suspension, recoupment or deduction which Customer may have against Seller for
any amounts which may now or hereafter be due to Customer from Seller for any
reason, except that Customer may, in the ordinary course of business assert any
bona fide offsets or deductions it may lawfully have only against accounts due
to the Customer by reason of the delivery to Customer by Seller of defective or
non-conforming goods to the extent that the basis for the offset or deduction
arises out of the same transaction giving rise to the account due which is
subject to the asserted offset or deduction..

[ex101013.jpg]
12/16/2019 EX-10.1 The fact that Customer has limited its setoff and recoupment
rights against accounts due to Seller shall not limit any rights or remedies
Customer may have against Seller or any of its other assets. Customer waives any
right that it may have under any Federal, State or other law, including, without
limitation, all rights under Section 553 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, to assert
any such rights. Seller may store the goods at its premises or in leased
warehouse space. The goods will be shipped to Customer from time to time at its
request upon reasonable prior notice in accordance with Seller’s policies as in
effect from time to time. All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller for
storage, insurance or disposal in connection with the goods manufactured for
Customer by Seller are to be billed by Seller to Customer in accordance with
