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value of Borrower’s eligible inventory (including unbilled inventory but exclusive of work in process, inventory which is obsolete, unsaleable or damaged and crating material), with value defined as the lower of cost or market value; provided, however, that unbilled inventory shall not be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

additional dilution and/or establish additional reserves against Borrower’s Eligible Accounts Receivable, provided that the amount of any reserve established by Bank shall have a reasonable relationship to the matter, event, condition or contingency that is the basis for such reserve and shall not be duplicative of any other reserve established and currently maintained.”

(d) Section 4.3(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “during any period in which the Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio is not tested under Section 4.9(b) of this Agreement,” in clause (iii) thereof.

(e) Section 4.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word “and” at the end of subsection (g), (ii) re-lettering subsection (h) as subsection (j) and (iii) adding new subsections (h) and (i) as follows:

(i) not later than 30 days after the end of each calendar month, a completed and fully executed Borrowing Base Certificate together with all supporting schedules and calculations and, upon request by Bank, copies of any executed acknowledgment letters in favor of Bank; and”.

(f) Section 4.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

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..

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 Seller’s policies as in effect from time to time.

Seller would appreciate the confirmation of the agreement of Customer to the above arrangements by signing and returning to Seller the enclosed copy of this letter. The agreement of Customer in this letter will be binding on its successors and assigns. In making loans to Seller based on the accounts payable by Customer to Seller from such sales, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, the lender to Seller, is relying on the agreements of Customer in this letter and the terms of this letter will inure to the benefit of such lender and its successors and assigns (including any other lender that refinances or replaces its financing) and such lender and successors and assigns will be entitled to enforce the terms hereof directly. The terms of this letter may not be modified by course of dealing or otherwise than in writing signed by Seller and approved in writing by its lender.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued business.


Very truly yours,
