 Exhibit 10.1 

ASTRONOVA, INC. 
 AMENDED
AND RESTATED EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 INTRODUCTION 

The AstroNova, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to provide employees of AstroNova, Inc. (the
“Corporation”) and any other corporation which is a member of an affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504 of the Code) which includes AstroNova, Inc. and which has been designated to participate in the Plan by the Board of
Directors of AstroNova, Inc. (such corporation, a “designated affiliated corporation”) with an opportunity to purchase common stock of the Corporation, par value $0.05 per share (“Common Stock”). It is the intention of the
Corporation that the Plan qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to extend and limit
participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

  

	1.	ADMINISTRATION 

 The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Committee). The Committee has the authority to make rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and its interpretations and decisions with regard thereto shall be final and
conclusive. 
  

	2.	OFFERINGS 

 The Corporation will make one or more offerings to eligible employees
to purchase Common Stock under the Plan (Offerings”). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an Offering will begin on the first business day of each month and will end on the last business day of each month, respectively. The Committee
may, in its discretion, designate a different period for any Offering, provided that no Offering shall exceed one year in duration. “Offering Commencement Date” shall mean the first day of an Offering, and “Offering Termination
Date” shall mean the last day of an Offering. 
  

	3.	ELIGIBILITY 

 Any employee, including an officer who is customarily employed by
the Corporation or a designated affiliated corporation for more than twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months in a calendar year, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to the limitations imposed by
Section 423(b) of the Code, as of the first Offering following completion of 30 days of continuous service with the Corporation or a designated affiliated corporation. Members of the Board of Directors who are not otherwise employed by the
Corporation or a designated affiliated corporation are not eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 Any provisions of the Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, no employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (a) if, immediately after the grant, such employee would be deemed to own stock, and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock, pursuant to the rules of Section

  
 -1- 

 
424(d) of the Code, possessing five (5%) percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or of any parent or subsidiary of the Corporation
or (b) which permits his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Corporation or any parent or subsidiary of the Corporation to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such shares
(determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time in accordance with the provisions of Section 423(b) of the Code. 

In addition, the Corporation may modify the terms of any Offering made to participants who are then resident or primarily employed outside of
the United States (without regard to whether they are also citizens of the U.S. or resident aliens) in any manner deemed by the Corporation to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Offering and any related purchase shall conform to laws,
regulations, and customs of the country in which the participant is then resident or primarily employed.     
  

	4.	PARTICIPATION 

 Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary. To participate,
an eligible employee must complete an authorization for payroll deductions on the form provided by the Corporation and file it with the Finance Department of the Corporation (the “Finance Department”), at least ten (10) business days
prior to the applicable Offering Commencement Date. Authorization forms will be provided at any time upon request to the Finance Department. 

An authorization for payroll deductions will remain in effect for any subsequent Offerings unless the participant submits a written notice of
a payroll deduction change to the Finance Department pursuant to Section 6 below or withdraws from an Offering pursuant to Section 7 below. 

Authorized payroll deductions will continue during any Offering as long as the employee remains eligible and has a valid authorization form in
effect. All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan. 
  

	5.	PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS 

 Payroll deductions may not be less than two dollars ($2.00),
or more than four hundred and eight dollars ($408.00) per week or such lesser amount as determined by the Finance Department with respect to an Offering. Payroll deductions must be in whole dollar amounts only. Interest will not be paid on
deductions from an employee’s pay. If an employee does not have, after other authorized deductions, a sufficient amount in any payroll period to permit his or her deduction under the Plan to be made in full, his or her deduction under the Plan
will be suspended until such time as the employee has a sufficient amount in a single payroll period to permit such deduction to be made. 

No contribution toward the price of shares of Common Stock to be purchased under the Plan may be made directly by the employee. 

  
 -2- 

	6.	PAYROLL DEDUCTION CHANGES 

 An employee may not increase his or her payroll
deductions during any Offering. An employee generally may not decrease payroll deductions during an Offering, but may terminate payroll deductions for the remainder of the Offering by withdrawing from the Offering, pursuant to Section 7 below.
An employee who terminates payroll deductions by withdrawing during an Offering Period must submit a new authorization for payroll deductions in order to participate in a subsequent Offering. 

An employee may increase or decrease the amount of payroll deductions from his or her pay with respect to future Offerings by filing a new
enrollment form with the Finance Department at least ten (10) business days prior to the applicable Offering Commencement Date. 
  

	7.	WITHDRAWAL 

 An employee may withdraw from participation in an Offering by
delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Finance Department no later than two (2) business days prior to the Offering Termination Date of such Offering. Following such withdrawal, all deductions from his or her pay under the Plan will
cease, provided, however, that in order to avoid having deductions made from a payroll, the notice of withdrawal must be received by the Finance Department no later than the Friday of the week preceding the payroll date for which it is to be
effective; and provided further that any amounts already contributed during the Offering Period will be used to purchase shares at the end of the Offering Period. Partial withdrawals are not permitted. 

An employee who withdraws from participation in an Offering will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Plan, but may enroll in a subsequent
Offering by submitting a new authorization for payroll deductions at least ten (10) business days prior to the applicable Offering Commencement Date. 
  

	8.	GRANT OF OPTION  

 On each Offering Commencement Date, each employee who
participates in the Plan will be granted an option to purchase a maximum number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lower of: (a) a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the amount of payroll deductions which will have been
withheld for the account of the employee during the applicable Offering by the “Option Price” (as defined below), or (b) 1,000 shares. 

The option price per share (“Option Price”) for each option granted pursuant to this Plan will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the
“Fair Market Value” (as defined below) of a share of Common Stock on the applicable Offering Commencement Date or Offering Termination Date, whichever is less. “Fair Market Value” shall mean the closing price per share of Common
Stock as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market, and/or any other stock exchange on which the Corporation’s Common Stock may be listed, on the applicable date, or if there are no trades reported for such day, on the last preceding date for which
trades were reported.

	9.	EXERCISE OF OPTION AND PURCHASE OF SHARES 

 Upon each Offering Termination Date,
any employee who continues to be a participant in the Plan shall be deemed to have automatically exercised his or her option to purchase Common Stock with the payroll deductions made by him or her during such Offering. 

 

	10.	SOURCE OF SHARES 

 Shares purchased under the Plan pursuant to the options
described above will be treasury shares and authorized but unissued shares of common stock of the Corporation which will be issued for this purpose. A total of 247,500 shares, after giving effect to automatic adjustments to reflect prior stock
splits, were originally reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan and, as of June 30, 2017, a total of 42,807 shares remained available for purchase. 

If the total number of shares for which options are granted during an Offering exceeds the number of shares available for issuance under the
Plan on the Offering Termination Date, the Corporation shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable. That portion of each payroll
deduction which is not applied towards the purchase of the available shares will be refunded to the participant without interest. 
  

	11.	STOCK CERTIFICATES 

 The Corporation will maintain a current record
of the number of shares purchased by participants in each Offering, but will not issue certificates unless a participant requests the issuance of a certificate. Certificates may be issued in the name of the employee, alone, or in the name of the
employee and a member of his or her family as joint tenants with right of survivorship, in accordance with the instructions contained in the authorization signed by the employee. 

 

	12.	DIVIDENDS 

 Any cash dividends declared by the Corporation will be sent directly
by check to each participant in accordance with the number of shares the participant owns on the dividend record date. 
  

	13.	EXPENSES 

 All charges in connection with the cost of administration of the Plan
will be borne by the Corporation. 
  

	14.	RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER 

 No participant in the Plan shall have any rights as a
shareholder of the Corporation until the shares are purchased pursuant to the exercise of a participant’s option. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock is purchased. 

  
 -4- 

	15.	TRANSFERABILITY 

 Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s
account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by the participant. 

In the event of attachment, execution, or other legal process against the participant or his or her property, or in the event of an attempted
transfer of a participant’s rights under the Plan, his or her authorized payroll deductions will terminate forthwith, and his or her only right (or the right of any person claiming through such employee) will be to receive in cash, without
interest, the total amount then credited to his or her account. 
  

	16.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

 A participating employee’s payroll deductions and
participation in the Plan will terminate automatically upon the employee’s retirement, resignation, legal incapacity, discharge by the Corporation, death, or the termination of his or her employment in any other manner, and any outstanding
unexercised options will be automatically terminated. If an employee’s payroll deduction authorization and participation in the Plan is so terminated, his or her only right will be to receive in cash, without interest, the total amount then
credited to his or her account. 
  

	17.	SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN 

 The Plan will continue from year to year,
but the Corporation reserves the right to terminate the Plan for any reason at any time. When the Plan is terminated, each employee will receive in cash, without interest, the total amount credited to his or her account on the date of such
termination. 
  

	18.	RECAPITALIZATION 

 If any option under this Plan is exercisable subsequent to any
stock dividend, split-up, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capitalization of the Corporation, occurring
after such option was granted, as a result of which shares of common stock shall be issued in respect of the outstanding shares, or shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares to which such option shall be applicable, then
the options for such shares shall be appropriately adjusted by the Corporation, if necessary. In addition, the maximum number of shares of common stock which are then available for sale under this Plan shall be appropriately adjusted to effect any
of the foregoing changes in the capitalization of the Corporation. 
  

	19.	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 

 In administering the Plan, it may be necessary from time
to time to change or waive requirements of the Plan to conform to requirements of law, to meet special circumstances not anticipated or covered by the Plan, or to carry on the successful operation of the Plan. The Corporation reserves the right to
amend the provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, provisions regarding the determination of the purchase price. The Plan may not, without the approval of the shareholders, be amended in any manner that will cause options issued under
it to fail to meet the requirements of employee stock purchase options as defined in Section 423 of the Code. 

  
 -5- 

	20.	RESPONSIBILITY 

 The Corporation shall have no responsibility or liability, other
than liabilities arising out of the securities laws, for any act or omission to act, including any action taken with respect to the price, time, quantity, or other conditions and circumstances of the purchase of shares under the terms of the Plan.
The Corporation reserves the right to determine conclusively any questions which may arise regarding the interpretation and application of the provisions of the Plan. 
  

	21.	PLAN ADOPTION AND AMENDMENT 

 The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation on November 15, 1982, was approved by the shareholders on December 23, 1982. The Plan was subsequently amended effective March 17, 1983, January 31, 1985, April 1, 2008, June 1, 2015, and
November 20, 2017.

Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to
that Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), made and entered into as of October
19, 2017 by and among Enerjex Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), AgEagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc., a company organized under the laws of Nevada (the
“Company”) and Brett Chilcott, CEO of the Company. Capitalized terms used in this letter and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Merger Agreement.

 

1.           The
Merger Agreement, among other things, provides that the Parent shall raise gross proceeds of $4,000,000 in common stock or convertible
equity prior to the Closing (the “Private Placement”), to provide operating capital for the Company and to meet listing
requirements of the NYSE American.

 

a.           Alpha
Capital Anstalt (“Alpha” or “you”) agrees, prior to or at the Closing, to fund the full Private Placement
at a pre-money valuation of between US$16 million and US$25 million. In the event any unaffiliated third parties participate in
the Private Placement, Alpha’s obligations to fund the Private Placement shall be reduced by such aggregate gross dollar
amount funded by such unaffiliated third parties. Alpha’s obligations to fund the full Private Placement shall terminate
on March 31, 2018 unless the Merger has previously closed.

 

b.           The
Merger Agreement further provides that at the Closing the Parent shall have satisfied in full all its payables and liabilities.
Accordingly, Parent is expected to have no debt or other liabilities at Closing (“Parent’s Zero Liabilities Obligations”).

 

c.           At
or before Closing in an effort to cooperate with the Parent’s Zero Liabilities Obligations, Alpha will convert all debt owed
to it by the Parent into equity, either Series C Preferred Stock or another similar security.

 

d.           Within
45 days of closing the Merger, the combined Company will file a registration statement to register the common shares underlying
the Private Placement.

 

     

     

    

 

2.            For
the commitment to fund the Private Placement, Alpha will receive a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to 2.5% of the
Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at closing of the Merger on a fully diluted basis. Such Commitment Fee may
be paid in common stock or Series C Preferred Stock, at Alpha’s discretion, and will be included the post-closing registration
statement.

 

3.           The
Company agrees that, at no time from the date hereof to the Closing Date, shall it provide or disclose to Alpha any “material
non-public information” regarding itself, without the prior consent of Alpha.

 

4.       Alpha’s
obligations pursuant to this letter agreement are subject to the following conditions being met:

 

a.           the
accuracy in all material respects (or, to the extent representations or warranties are qualified by materiality, in all respects)
when made, on the date hereof and on the closing date of the Private Placement of the representations and warranties of the Company,
the Parent and any other party to the Merger Agreement contained in the Merger Agreement (unless as of a specific date therein
in which case they shall be accurate as of such date); and

 

b.           The
completion of due diligence to Alpha’s satisfaction, the preparation of definitive documentation to effect such transaction
that is mutually satisfactory to each party, including the condition that, subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the closing
of such transaction, there shall have been no material adverse developments relating to the business, assets, operations, properties,
condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

5.           Upon
the Closing, the Parent covenants to maintain the registration of the common stock of the Parent under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)
and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to
be filed by the Parent after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Parent is not then subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

6.           No
party hereto shall be permitted to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
other party, except at and after Closing, the Parent may assign any or all of its rights and obligations to the Company without
the consent of Alpha. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
and permitted assigns.

 

7.           This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. In the event
of any litigation hereunder, each party hereto agrees to consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New
York and of the United States located in the County of New York.

 

8.           This
Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, of such parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement.

 

     

     

    

 

9.            This
Agreement may not be modified or amended in any manner without the prior written consent of all the parties hereto.

 

10.          This
Agreement may be executed and delivered in counterparts, which taken together shall constitute one instrument, and may be executed
and delivered by facsimile and, as such, shall be treated as an original.

 

Please sign where indicated
below to confirm your agreement to all of the foregoing provisions.

 

Very truly yours,

 

Enerjex Resources, Inc
