The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

(b) At the Closing, Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller for the Closing Date Payment, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, free and clear of all Liens.

Section 2.02 Closing Deliveries.

(a) Seller Closing Deliveries. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser the following:

(i) stock certificates representing in the aggregate all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; and

(i) to Seller, the Closing Date Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Seller;

(ii) to the Escrow Agent, the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Working Capital Escrow Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to separate accounts designated by the Escrow Agent, to be held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; and

(iii) (A) to the Persons entitled thereto, the Closing Indebtedness by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such creditor, and (B) to the Persons entitled thereto, all of the Acquired Company Transaction Expenses, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such Person.

Section 2.03 Withholding Rights. Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to Seller or any other Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Purchaser or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, is required to deduct or withhold therefrom under any Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom or to which such amounts would otherwise have been paid in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.04 Closing Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Pre-Closing Estimate. No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, Seller’s good-faith estimate of the Closing Working Capital, such estimate to be prepared in accordance with (i) the same accounting principles and methods the Company has used to operate the Business and to produce the Acquired Company’s monthly balance sheets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and (ii) the illustration set forth on Schedule 2.04(a) (the “Specified Accounting Principles”). Seller shall deliver all relevant backup materials, schedules and the illustration prepared as set forth above, in reasonable detail, concurrently with the delivery of such estimate. Based on such estimate and prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall in good faith calculate an estimate of the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”) to be used to determine the Aggregate Consideration.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 90 calendar days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles, and delivered to Seller an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a statement (the “Purchaser Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital (“Purchaser Working Capital Amount”) and attaching all relevant backup materials and schedules.

(ii) From and after the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Purchaser Closing Statement, Purchaser shall provide Seller and any accountants or advisors retained by Seller with access to the books and records of the Acquired Companies as may be reasonably requested and cause appropriate representatives of Purchaser and the Acquired Companies to be reasonably available to discuss the Closing Balance Sheet and the Purchaser Closing Statement and respond to reasonable questions of Seller and its accountant with regard thereto, all for the purposes of: (A) enabling Seller and its accountants and advisors to calculate, and to review Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Purchaser Closing Statement; and (B) identifying any dispute related to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Purchaser Closing Statement.

(iii) If Seller disputes the calculation of the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Purchaser Closing Statement, then Seller shall deliver a written notice (a “Working Capital Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by Seller of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Purchaser Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). The Working Capital Dispute Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the principal basis for the dispute of such calculation and Seller’s determination of the Closing Working Capital (the “Seller Working Capital Amount”).

(iv) If Seller does not deliver a Working Capital Dispute Notice to Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Purchaser Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on Purchaser and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement.

(v) If Seller delivers a Working Capital Dispute Notice to Purchaser on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then Seller and Purchaser shall meet, confer and exchange any additional relevant information reasonably requested by the other party regarding the computation of Closing Working Capital for a period of 20 calendar days after the end of the Review Period, and use reasonable efforts to resolve by written agreement (the “Agreed Adjustments”) any differences as to the Closing Working Capital. In the event Purchaser and Seller so resolve any such differences, the Purchaser Working Capital Amount set forth in the Purchaser Closing Statement, as adjusted by the Agreed Adjustments shall be final and binding as the Closing Working Capital for purposes of this Agreement. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to reach agreement on the calculation of the Closing Working Capital within the 20 calendar day period, then either Seller or Purchaser may submit the objections to the London, England office of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ UK LLP (such firm, or any successor thereto, being referred to herein as the “Designated Accounting Firm”) after such 20th day. Each of Purchaser and Seller agree that it shall not engage, or agree to engage the Designated Accounting Firm to perform any services other than as the Designated Accounting Firm pursuant hereto until the Closing Working Capital has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.04(b). Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the Designated Accounting Firm, a reasonable engagement letter. The Designated Accounting Firm shall be directed by Purchaser and Seller to resolve the unresolved objections as promptly as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles, and, in any event, within 30 calendar days of such referral, and, upon reaching such determination, to deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm, each of Purchaser, Seller and their respective advisors and accountants shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide their respective views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital. The determination of the Closing Working Capital made by the Designated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on Purchaser, Seller and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. In calculating the Closing Working Capital, the Designated Accounting Firm shall be limited to addressing only the particular disputes referred to in the Working Capital Dispute Notice. The Expert Calculations (A) shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the Closing Working Capital reflected therein and the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Purchaser Closing Statement, and (B) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, shall be no greater than the higher amount calculated by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Purchaser or Seller as the case may be. The fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be paid one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Seller.

(vi) If the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04, is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital (such deficiency, a “Shortfall”), then Purchaser and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after the Closing Working Capital is finally determined, direct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Purchaser the amount of such Shortfall from the Working Capital Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and the remainder of the Working Capital Escrow Fund to Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that if the Working Capital Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy such Shortfall, Purchaser and Seller shall direct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Purchaser the excess of such Shortfall over the amount of the Working Capital Escrow Fund from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04, is greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital (such excess, an “Excess”), then Purchaser shall promptly pay the amount of such Excess to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by Seller within five Business Days after the Closing Working Capital is finally determined. If the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04, equals or exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital, then Purchaser and Seller shall promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after the Closing Working Capital is finally determined, direct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Working Capital Escrow Fund to Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Closing, Seller shall be permitted to (A) (i) cause each Acquired Company to dividend, distribute or otherwise pay to Seller or any of its Affiliates any cash of such Acquired Company, (ii) remove, or cause any Acquired Company to remove, and pay to Seller or any of its Affiliates any cash held in any bank account, (iii) settle Intercompany Indebtedness (including pursuant to the Permitted Dividends), (iv) enter into Contracts in connection with any of the foregoing, (B) complete the dissolution of (i) Belix Power Conversion Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England, (ii) Belix Wound Components Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England, (iii) The Belix Company Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England, (iv) CXR ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England, and (v) Digitran Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England (each, a “Permitted Activity”), and (C) in the event the dissolution of CXR ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Ltd. is not completed prior to the Closing Date, transfer ownership of CXR ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Ltd. from Emrise Electronics Ltd. to CXR ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a company incorporated under the laws of France and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Seller, provided that the representations and warranties of the Seller in Section 3.01(d) and 3.01(f) are true and accurate as of the date of such transfer; provided further, however, (y) the Seller shall use commercially reasonably effects to consult with the Purchaser with respect to the manner in which any such Permitted Activity shall be conducted and (z) any dividends payments made by or to an Acquired Company will be made in accordance with the UK Companies Act of 2006.

Without in any way limiting any party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the parties understand and agree that prior to Closing nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operation of the Acquired Companies, and prior to Closing, Seller and the Acquired Companies shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over the Business.

Section 5.02 Stockholder Meeting.

(a) Subject to Section 5.03, Seller shall, as soon as practicable following the date on which the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC, take all action necessary under Applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of Seller to establish a record date, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock to vote on the approval of the Transaction (the “Seller Stockholder Meeting”). Subject to Section 5.03, the Seller Stockholder Meeting shall be held on a date selected by Seller in consultation with Purchaser as promptly as practicable, and in any event (to the extent permissible under Applicable Law) the Original Date shall be within 60 days following the date on which the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC, for the purpose of obtaining the Required Seller Stockholder Approval. Subject to Section 5.03, Seller shall (i) ensure that the Seller Stockholder Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all Persons solicited in connection with the Seller Stockholder Meeting are solicited, in compliance with all Applicable Law and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Transaction and to take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to pursue the vote or consent of its stockholders and to obtain the Required Seller Stockholder Approval, including such actions as are required by Applicable Law. Subject to Section 5.03, the approval of the Transaction, the adjournment of the Seller Stockholder Meeting, as necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes in favor of approval of the Transaction, and the proposals set forth in Schedule 5.02 hereto, shall be the only matters which Seller shall propose to be acted on by Seller’s stockholders at the Seller Stockholder Meeting unless otherwise approved in writing by Purchaser.

(b) Subject to Section 5.03, Seller shall consult with the Purchaser regarding the date of the Seller Stockholder Meeting and shall not postpone or adjourn the Seller Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, if on the date for which the Seller Stockholder Meeting is scheduled (the “Original Date”), Seller has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares for the Required Seller Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Purchaser shall have the right to require Seller to, and Seller shall have the right, to postpone or adjourn the Seller Stockholder Meeting to a date which shall not be more than 30 days after the Original Date. If Seller continues not to receive proxies representing a sufficient number of shares for the Required Seller Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Seller may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Seller Stockholder Meeting as long as the date of the Seller Stockholder Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 90 days from the Original Date in reliance on this subsection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may postpone or adjourn the Seller Stockholder Meeting if Seller is required to postpone or adjourn the Seller Stockholder Meeting by Applicable Law.

(c) Except as permitted by Section 5.03, (i) the Proxy Statement shall include the Seller Board Recommendation, and (ii) the Seller Board of Directors shall not (A) withdraw, modify or qualify the Seller Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Purchaser or (B) publicly approve, endorse or recommend to the stockholders of Seller an Acquisition Proposal (any action described in the foregoing clause (A) or (B) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (C) authorize the Seller or any of the Acquired Companies to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.02 or Section 5.03 shall prohibit the Seller Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to Seller’s stockholders the occurrence of an Intervening Event or a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any disclosure other than a factually accurate public statement by the Seller that describes the Seller’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal or the occurrence of an Intervening Event, any “stop, look and listen” communication by the Seller Board of Directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, any communication which is not adverse to Purchaser and could not reasonably be expected to prevent, delay, impede or otherwise interfere with the Original Date and which the Seller Board of Directors believes in good faith is required to be disclosed to stockholders in order for the Seller Board of Directors, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, to comply with its fiduciary obligations to Seller’s stockholders under the DGCL, an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of Seller’s recommendation to its stockholders in favor of the adoption of the Transaction, shall, in each case, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change hereunder, including for purposes of Section 9.01(j).

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.03, Seller agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, (i) Seller’s obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Seller Stockholder Meeting shall not be affected by the withdrawal, amendment or modification of the Seller Board Recommendation and (ii) Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to Seller or any Acquired Company of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal). Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, Seller agrees that it shall not submit to the vote of the stockholders of Seller any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) prior to the vote of Seller’s stockholders with respect to the approval of the Transaction at the Seller Stockholder Meeting.

Section 5.03 No Solicitation; Other Offers.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, and except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Representatives and each of the other Acquired Companies (and each of their respective Representatives) to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted on or prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and shall promptly after the date of this Agreement instruct each Person that has in the twelve months prior to the date of this Agreement executed a confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal to promptly return or destroy, in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreement, all information, documents and materials relating to the Acquisition Proposal or to the Acquired Companies and their businesses previously furnished by or on behalf of the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Representatives to such Person or such Person’s Representatives. Promptly following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a certificate signed by Seller’s Chief Executive Officer that shall certify Seller’s compliance with this Section 5.03(a).

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, and except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Representatives and each of the other Acquired Companies (and each of their respective Representatives) not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, seek or knowingly encourage, facilitate, induce or support, or take any action to solicit, initiate, seek or knowingly encourage, facilitate, induce or support any announcement, communication, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal from any Person but Purchaser; (ii) enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any discussions or negotiations relating to, any Acquisition Proposal with any Person other than Purchaser; (iii) furnish to any Person other than Purchaser or its Representatives any information that could reasonably be expected to be used for the purposes of formulating any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer relating to an Acquisition Proposal from a Person other than Purchaser, or take any other action regarding any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal from a Person other than Purchaser; (iv) accept any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) providing for the consummation of any transaction contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal with any Person other than Purchaser and its Representatives; or (v) submit any Acquisition Proposal or any matter related thereto to the vote of the stockholders of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the approval of the Transaction by the stockholders of Seller at the Seller Stockholder Meeting: (i) Seller has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party; (ii) Seller has not materially breached this Section 5.03 and complies in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.03(b) and Section 5.02(c); (iii) the Seller Board of Directors in good faith, after consultation with the Seller Financial Advisors, concludes that the offer constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to a Superior Proposal, and determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action is advisable in order for the Seller Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of Seller under the DGCL, then Seller and/or its Representatives may (A) furnish information with respect to the Acquired Companies to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided that Seller (x) shall not, and shall not allow any of its Representatives or any other Acquired Company or any of its Representatives to, disclose any information to such Person unless (x) concurrently with furnishing any such information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such party, Seller gives Purchaser the information set forth in Section 5.03(c) and notifies Purchaser in writing of Seller’s intention to furnish information to, or enter into discussions or negotiations with, such party and (y) Seller receives from such party an executed confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all nonpublic written and oral information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of any of the Acquired Companies at least as restrictive as the Confidentiality Agreement and containing “standstill” provisions no less favorable to Seller than the “standstill” provisions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; and (z) prior to or contemporaneously with furnishing any such information to such party, Seller furnishes such non-public information to Purchaser (to the extent such information has not been previously furnished by Seller to Purchaser).

(c) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, Seller shall promptly (and in any event at Purchaser’s request and otherwise within 24 hours) provide Purchaser with: (i) an oral and a written description of any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal (including any modification thereto), or any request for information that could reasonably be expected to be used for the purposes of formulating any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer regarding a possible Acquisition Proposal, that is received by any Acquired Company or any Representative of any Acquired Company from any Person (other than Purchaser), including in such description the identity of the Person from which such inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information was received (the “Other Interested Party”) and (ii) a copy of each written communication and an accurate summary of each other communication transmitted on behalf of the Other Interested Party or any of its Representatives to any Acquired Company or any Representative of any Acquired Company or transmitted on behalf of any Acquired Company or any Representative of any Acquired Company to the Other Interested Party or any of its Representatives. All information provided by Seller to Purchaser and its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.03(c) shall be kept confidential and be subject to the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(d) Seller shall not, and shall cause each other Acquired Company not to, terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant permission under, any standstill or confidentiality agreement to which any Acquired Company is a party (other than entering into a new confidentiality agreement permitted pursuant to Section 5.03(b)), and Seller shall, and shall cause each other Acquired Company to, enforce the provisions of each such agreement; provided, that, nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict Seller from entering into, terminating, waiving, amending, modifying any provision of, or granting permission under, any standstill or confidentiality agreement which is unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if, in the event of a material development or material change in circumstances (unrelated to any Acquisition Proposal) occurring or arising after the date hereof with respect to the Company that was neither known to the Seller Board of Directors nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), the Seller Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that making an Adverse Recommendation Change would be necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Seller under the DGCL, or (ii) if Seller receives an Acquisition Proposal that the Seller Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and the Seller Financial Advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after giving effect to all of the adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by Purchaser (in accordance with clause (II) below) and the Seller Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that such action is necessary to comply with fiduciary duties owed by the Seller Board of Directors to the stockholders of Seller under the DGCL, then, in each case, the Seller Board of Directors may, at any time prior to the approval of the Transaction by Seller’s stockholders, (y) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or (z) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Seller Board of Directors may not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) or, in the case of clause (ii) above, terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (z) unless (A) Seller and the Acquired Companies shall not have materially breached this Section 5.03 and, (B):

(i) (I) Seller shall have provided prior written notice to Purchaser, at least three Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of Seller’s intention to take any action permitted under clause (y) or (z) above, which notice shall specify, with respect to any Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with the party making such Superior Proposal and all other material documents, including the definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (the “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”); and

(ii) (II) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, Seller shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Purchaser in good faith (to the extent Purchaser desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, Seller shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Purchaser and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.03(e) with respect to such new written notice.

(f) Seller agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.03 by any Representative of any of the Acquired Companies shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement (including this Section 5.03) by Seller.

Section 5.04 Access to Information.

(a) Subject to Section 5.04(b), from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, and subject to Applicable Law, Seller shall and shall cause each Acquired Company to (i) give Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books and records of the Acquired Companies, (ii) furnish to Purchaser and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information relating to the Acquired Companies as such Persons may reasonably request, in the same form provided to Purchaser during its due diligence review, provided, that Seller need not provide financial and operating data any earlier than such information would otherwise be available in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and (iii) instruct the Representatives of the Acquired Companies to cooperate with Purchaser in its investigation of the Acquired Companies. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) shall be conducted in such manner as not to be disruptive or interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Acquired Companies. Prior to the Closing, with the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (A) Purchaser may contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Acquired Companies, and (B) Purchaser shall have the right to perform invasive or subsurface investigations of the properties or facilities of the Acquired Companies. All information provided to Purchaser and its Affiliates and Representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered confidential and be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Seller may (i) withhold from Purchaser (x) any Contracts identified in Section 3.09(a)(xix) of the Disclosure Schedule or portions thereof, or (y) any Contracts entered into after the date hereof and which Seller provides notice to Purchaser of the fact that such Contracts cannot be provided to Purchaser under Applicable Law, or (ii) prohibit any investigation or examination under Section 5.04(a), where, in the case of clause (ii), Seller has determined, in its reasonable judgment and on the advice of outside legal counsel, that doing so would (A) violate Applicable Law, (B) breach a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, or (C) constitute a waiver of attorney-client privilege, it is agreed that Seller shall give notice to Purchaser of the fact that it is withholding such Contracts or information, and thereafter Seller and Purchaser shall, if permissible, reasonably cooperate (including by entering into a joint defense or similar agreement) to cause such information or documents to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive the applicable privilege or protection or violate the applicable restriction. Purchaser shall not have access to personnel records of the Acquired Companies relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information, the disclosure of which would result in the violation of Applicable Law.

Section 5.05 Notice of Certain Events. During the Interim Period, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transaction;

(b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority (i) delivered in connection with the Transaction or (ii) indicating that a Permit is revoked or about to be revoked or that a Permit is required in any jurisdiction in which such Permit has not been obtained, which revocation or failure to obtain has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting any Acquired Company, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Sections 3.11 or 3.14, as the case may be, or that relate to the consummation of the Transaction;

(d) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement; and

(e) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 impossible or unlikely.

No such notice shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule for the purpose of (i) determining the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement, or (ii) determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 has been satisfied.

Section 5.06 Payoff Letters; Invoices; and Lien Releases. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an accurate and complete copy of: (a) a payoff letter, dated no more than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to all Closing Indebtedness, if any, of any Acquired Company owed to such lender and the estimated amounts payable to the lender thereof to (i) satisfy such Closing Indebtedness as of the Closing and (ii) terminate and release any Liens related thereto (each, a “Payoff Letter”), or such other appropriate documentation with respect to the satisfaction and cancelation of all Closing Indebtedness; (b) an invoice from each advisor or other service provider to any Acquired Company, dated no more than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to all Acquired Company Transaction Expenses estimated to be due and payable to such advisor or other service provider, as the case may be, as of the Closing Date (each, an “Invoice”); and (c) to the extent not delivered in connection with a Payoff Letter, written instruments terminating and releasing any Lien on (i) any property or assets of any Acquired Company or used in the Business or (ii) the Company Common Stock or any other securities of any Acquired Company (each, a “Lien Release”). Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cancel and terminate all Intercompany Indebtedness without any continuing liability or obligation to any Acquired Company.

(iv) promptly amend or supplement any information provided by it for use in the preliminary or definitive Proxy Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereof) if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and take all steps necessary to cause the Proxy Statement as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to Seller’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by Applicable Law; and

(v) cause the preliminary and definitive Proxy Statements, on each relevant filing date, on the date of mailing to Seller’s stockholders and at the time of the Seller Stockholder Meeting, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 6.03 Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

(a) Purchaser and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree to continue to be bound by the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2014, by and between Seller and Purchaser (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Thereafter, neither Seller, the Company nor Purchaser, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall issue any press release or other announcement (to the extent not previously publicly disclosed or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction or any Acquisition Proposal without the prior consent of the other parties hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such press release or other announcement may be required by Applicable Law or the applicable rules of a national securities exchange, in which case the party required to issue the release or make the announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance.

Section 6.04 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that all rights to indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the current and former directors and officers of each Acquired Company listed in Schedule 6.04 shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of six years following the Closing, and Purchaser shall cause each Acquired Company to fulfill and honor such obligations to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from the Closing Date from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as Seller’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and scope at least as favorable as Seller’s and each Acquired Company’s existing policies covering the individuals who at any time after January 1, 2009 and immediately prior to the Closing were directors or officers of any Acquired Company with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.04 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each current director and officer of each Acquired Company and his or her heirs and personal representatives, and nothing in this Agreement shall affect any indemnification rights that any such current director or officer and his or her heirs and personal representatives may have under the Organizational Documents of such Acquired Company or any contract or Applicable Law.

Seller, effective as of the Closing, irrevocably appoints Purchaser as its attorney for the purpose of exercising any rights, privileges or duties attaching to the Company Common Stock previously held by Seller, including receiving notices of and attending and voting at all meetings of the members of the Company, until the date on which Purchaser or its nominee is entered in the register of members of the Company as the holder of the Company Common Stock.

Section 6.06 Preservation of Records. Seller and Purchaser agree that each of them shall preserve and keep the records held by them or their Affiliates relating to the respective businesses of the Acquired Companies for a period of three years from the Closing Date and shall make such records and personnel available, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business, to the other as may be reasonably requested by such party in accordance with this Section 6.06. Requests may be made under this Section 6.06 only to (a) facilitate the preparation for or the prosecution, defense, or disposition of any Proceeding (other than any Proceeding between or among any of the parties hereto or any Indemnitee) or (b) prepare and file other documents or reports required by any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither party shall be required to make any such records or personnel available to the extent such party determines, in its reasonable judgment (after consultation with outside legal counsel), that doing so would (i) violate Applicable Law, (ii) breach a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party or (iii) constitute a waiver of attorney-client privilege (it being agreed that such party shall give notice to the other party of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above and thereafter the parties shall reasonably cooperate (including by entering into a joint defense or similar agreement) to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive the applicable privilege or protection or violate the applicable restriction). Seller shall not have access to personnel records of the Acquired Companies relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information, the disclosure of which would result in the violation of Applicable Law. In the event Seller or Purchaser wishes to destroy such records after that time, such party shall first give ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within such 90-day period, to take possession of the records within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice.

Section 6.08 Name Change. Within three months following the Closing, Purchaser shall change the Company’s name to a new name bearing no resemblance to the name “Emrise” or any derivative or abbreviation thereof. From and after the date of such change of name, Purchaser shall cease and shall cause each Acquired Company to cease using the name “Emrise” or any derivative or abbreviation thereof as part of its name or the name under which it conducts any business (other than with respect to clarifications such as “formerly known as”).

ARTICLE 7.

Tax Matters

Section 7.01 Tax Periods Ending on or before the Closing Date. To the extent not filed prior hereto, Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, in accordance with Applicable Law and consistent with past practice, each Tax Return required to be filed with respect to an Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. At least 20 days prior to the date on which any such Tax Return is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Seller shall deliver such Tax Return to Purchaser. No later than five days prior to the date on which such Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Purchaser, after reasonable consultation with Seller, may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Tax Return. Seller shall not file such Tax Return without the consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent not filed prior hereto, Seller shall file or cause to be filed each Tax Return required to be filed with respect to an Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Pursuant to Article 10, but without limiting any of the Purchaser’s rights under Article 10, Purchaser may recover from the Indemnity Escrow Fund any Taxes relating to each such Tax Return to the extent not accounted for in the determination of the Aggregate Consideration pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser may elect to file an election under Section 338(g) of the Code (including any corresponding U.S. state elections) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser agrees to compensate and reimburse Seller (up to a maximum amount of $150,000) for any Taxes incurred by Seller or its Affiliates within twelve months after the Closing Date as a result of such election, net of any Tax benefit to Seller and its Affiliate resulting from such election.

Section 7.02 Straddle Periods. Purchaser shall prepare each Tax Return required to be filed with respect to an Acquired Company for any Straddle Period, in accordance with Applicable Law and consistent with past practice. At least 20 days prior to the date on which any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Purchaser shall deliver such Tax Return to Seller. No later than five days prior to the date on which any such Tax Return for any Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Seller, after reasonable consultation with Purchaser, may make reasonable changes and revisions to the pre-Closing portion of such Tax Return. Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed each Tax Return required to be filed with respect to an Acquired Company for a Straddle Period. Pursuant to Article 10, but without limiting any of Purchaser’s rights under Article 10, Purchaser may recover from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date to the extent not accounted for in the determination of the Aggregate Consideration pursuant to this Agreement or covered by any Straddle Period UK Corporation Tax Payments (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 7.02 and Section 10.02(e), the portion of any Tax that relates to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed equal to the amount of Tax which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 7.02 and Section 10.02(e), the portion of United Kingdom corporation tax that relates to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date (such amount being referred to as the “Straddle Period Pre-Closing UK Corporation Tax Amount”). In the event that the Acquired Companies make any payments prior to Closing to HM Revenue and Customs in respect of United Kingdom corporation tax of the Acquired Companies where such tax is referable in whole or part to a Straddle Period then to the extent that such payments are referable to a Straddle Period (such payments being referred to as “Straddle Period UK Corporation Tax Payments”) and Purchaser (acting in good faith) determines that the aggregate of such Straddle Period UK Corporation Tax Payments exceeds the aggregate Straddle Period Pre-Closing UK Corporation Tax Amount of the Acquired Companies, Purchaser shall pay Seller an amount equal to the excess. Without duplication, to the extent that Purchaser actually receives, within twenty-four months after the Closing Date, a refund from the relevant Governmental Authority of Taxes of the Acquired Companies allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period which Taxes were paid by the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall pay the amount of such refund within 14 days of receipt or as soon as reasonably practicable, net of any Tax or other cost to Purchaser and its Affiliates of obtaining and receiving such refund, to Seller, except to the extent such refund was accounted for in the determination of the Aggregate Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt in calculating the Straddle Period Pre-Closing UK Corporation Tax Amount any group relief that would be available to the Acquired Companies in respect of the Straddle Period shall be taken so long as Purchaser determines that such group relief would not have any adverse effect on Purchaser or its Affiliates.

Section 7.03 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) access to (and ability to copy) the records and information which may be reasonably relevant to any such Tax Contest and making appropriate persons available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Purchaser and Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Companies relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified, any extensions thereof) of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing authority. Seller shall deliver or make available to Purchaser on the Closing Date, originals or accurate copies of all such books and records.

Section 7.04 Contest Provisions. If, subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser or any Acquired Company receives notice of a Tax Contest with respect to any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Pre-Closing Return”) with respect to which Indemnitees claim a right to indemnification under this Agreement, then within 10 days after receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall notify Seller of such notice; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify Seller shall not limit any of the obligations of Seller under Article 10 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Tax Contest or materially increases the Seller’s liability). Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest, provided that Purchaser shall keep Seller reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis, shall consider in good faith any comments provided by the Seller in connection with the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest and Purchaser shall not resolve such Tax Contest in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement without Seller’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. “Tax Contest” means any audit, other administrative proceeding or inquiry by a Government Authority, or judicial proceeding, in each case relating to the relevant Tax Return.

Section 7.05 Characterization of Payments. Any indemnity payments made pursuant to Article 10 shall constitute an adjustment of the Aggregate Consideration paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by all parties on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by law.

Section 7.06 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Transaction and this Agreement shall be borne by Purchaser. Purchaser will file, and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of, all necessary Tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.

ARTICLE 10.

Indemnification

Section 10.01 Survival of Representations, Etc.

(a) The representations and warranties and other obligations made by Seller in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the Expiration Date any Indemnitee delivers to Seller a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of such representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation and asserting a claim for recovery under Section 10.02 based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely in the event of fraud or willful or intentional misrepresentation by Seller or any of its Representatives.

(b) All representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered at the Closing shall terminate and expire as of the Closing, and any liability of Purchaser with respect to such representations and warranties shall thereupon cease, except in the case fraud or willful or intentional misrepresentation, in which case all representations and warranties of Purchaser shall survive indefinitely.

(c) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Seller, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnitees, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished or made available to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Indemnitees or any of their Representatives.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by Seller in this Agreement.

(e) The parties acknowledge and agree that if any Acquired Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of such Acquired Company as an Indemnitee) Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of such Acquired Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

Section 10.02 Indemnification. From and after the Closing, Seller shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result of, or are connected with: (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller as of the date of this Agreement (without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualification or any similar qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation or warranty); (b) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller as if such representation and warranty had been made on and as of the Closing Date (except for such representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular time, which need only be accurate as of such time) (without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualification or any similar qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation or warranty); (c) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller set forth in this Agreement; (d) any Closing Indebtedness or Acquired Company Transaction Expenses, to the extent not accounted for in the determination of the Aggregate Consideration pursuant to this Agreement; (e) (i) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or with respect to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, to the extent not accounted for in the determination of the Aggregate Consideration pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the unpaid Taxes of any Person (other than the Acquired Companies) for which any Acquired Company is liable as a transferee or successor, by Contract, or otherwise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of any tax grouping arrangements) and (iii) any Taxes arising out of or related to a Permitted Activity; (f) all liabilities of Seller or its Subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Companies), whether such liabilities arise before, at, or after the Closing, including but not limited to, (i) any liabilities related to restructurings or divestitures implemented or planned to be implemented by Seller prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any claims or threatened claims by or purportedly on behalf of any stockholder of Seller, and (iii) any liabilities of Seller arising or incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, investigation and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction; (g) any claim by or obligation to an employee or former employee of any Acquired Company that any holiday pay paid to such employee prior to the Closing Date was incorrectly calculated including by not including a payment in respect of overtime or commission; or (h) the failure of Seller to register the lease agreement related to the Leased Real Property located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ with the Land Registry (of England & Wales) and any unpaid Stamp Duty Land Tax or similar lease tax (plus all penalties and fines) for such Leased Real Property; provided, however, that in no event shall such Damages be “double counted” for purposes of this Article 10.

Section 10.03 Limitations.

(a) Seller shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 10.02(a) or Section 10.02(b) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties, of Seller in this Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Indemnitees has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds an amount equal to U.S. $100,000 (the “Deductible”) in the aggregate (it being understood that if the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Deductible, then the Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed only for such Damages that are in excess of the Deductible).

(b) Subject to Section 10.03(c), the maximum liability of Seller under this Article 10 shall be equal to the Indemnity Escrow Fund, except in the event of fraud or willful or intentional misrepresentation by Seller or any of its Representatives.

(c) Absent fraud or willful or intentional misrepresentation, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 10 are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Damages any Indemnitee may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties’ rights to specific performance with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or to be performed after the Closing).

(d) Payments by Seller in respect of any Damages shall be limited to the amount of any Damages that remain after deducting therefrom (i) any amounts actually received by such Indemnitee pursuant to the terms of the insurance policies (if any) covering such Damages (net of all deductibles, co-payments, retro-premium obligations and premium increases attributable thereto and all costs of collection of any such insurance proceeds) and (ii) any Damages taken into account in determining Working Capital (with the intent of this provision to merely be to avoid “double counting”).

Section 10.04 Claims and Procedures.

(a) If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, Purchaser determines in good faith that any Indemnitee has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10, Purchaser may deliver to Seller a certificate signed by any officer of Purchaser (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.04(a) an “Officer’s Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnitee has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10;

(ii) to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the amount of Damages such Indemnitee claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Purchaser) the material facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such claim.

(iv) No delay in providing such Officer’s Claim Certificate prior to the Expiration Date shall affect an Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) Seller is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Claim Certificate to Seller, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of Purchaser (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnitee) if any funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(c) If Seller in good faith objects to any claim made by Purchaser in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then Seller shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by Seller of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by Purchaser in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If Seller does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in Purchaser’s favor for purposes of this Article 10 on the terms set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificate and (ii) if cash remains in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, then Purchaser may direct the Escrow Agent to deliver cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 10.04.

(d) If Seller delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by Seller in such Claim Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Seller agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Purchaser and Seller shall be prepared and signed by both parties and, if cash remains in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, promptly delivered to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to distribute cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(e) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following Purchaser’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Purchaser or Seller may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 11.07, 11.08 and 11.09. The decision of the trial court as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon Purchaser and Seller, and Purchaser and Seller shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with such decision and distribute cash from the Indemnity Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the trial court may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Section 10.05 Defense of Third-Party Claims. Except as otherwise provided in Article 10, in the event of the assertion of any claim or the commencement by any Person of any Proceeding (whether against an Acquired Company, against Purchaser or against any other Person) with respect to which Seller may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 10 (each, a “Claim”), Purchaser shall have the right, upon written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Claim; provided that Seller shall be permitted to participate in such prosecution and defense and Purchaser will provide Seller reasonable access to all relevant information and documentation relating to the Claim and the prosecution and defense thereof. If Purchaser so proceeds with the defense of any such Claim:

(a) Seller shall make available to Purchaser any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Claim, or, in the event the delivery of such documents and materials would (i) violate Applicable Law or (ii) breach a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party or (iii) constitute a waiver of the Seller’s attorney-client privilege, Seller shall provide summaries, excerpts or any other information in connection with such documents and materials to the maximum extent legally permissible and shall use reasonable efforts to assist and participate in such defense (at its own expense, which amount shall not constitute “Damages” of the Seller) as it relates to such materials and documents; and

(b) Purchaser shall not enter into settlement of any Claim without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Purchaser shall give Seller prompt notice of the commencement of any such Claim against an Indemnitee; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify Seller shall not limit any of the obligations of Seller under this Article 10 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). Such notice shall describe the Claim in reasonable detail based upon the information then possessed by Purchaser, include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable and to the extent known to Purchaser, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee.

Section 10.06 No Contribution. Seller shall not have, and shall not be entitled to exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against any Acquired Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which it may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other Than Purchaser. No Indemnitee (other than Purchaser or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Purchaser (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 11.04 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein (including Section 9.03), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, including all third-party legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting or other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction, shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

“Group Company” means any company with the Group.

2.	JOB TITLE AND DUTIES

2.1

You are employed as [__________] of [Acquired Company] with effect from the date of the closing of the acquisition of EMRISE Electronics Limited by DDC (United Kingdom) Limited (the “Closing”). For the avoidance of doubt, should the Closing not occur this Statement will have no effect and will not bind the parties.

2.2	You will perform all duties reasonably and lawfully required of you by the Company.

2.3	Whilst employed by the Company you must:

(a)

during your hours of work devote the whole of your time, attention and abilities to the business of the Company and any Group Company and carry out your duties with due care and attention;

not, without the Company’s prior written consent, be in any way directly or indirectly engaged or concerned with any other business or employment whether during or outside your hours of work for the Company, save for the business of any Group Company, although you may hold an investment by way of shares or other securities of not more than 5% of the total issued share capital of any company (whether or not it is listed or dealt in on a recognised stock exchange) where such company does not carry on a business similar to or competitive with any business for the time being carried on by the Company or any Group Company;;

(c)

use your best efforts to promote and protect the interests of the Company and observe the utmost good faith towards the Company and the Group; and

(d)

comply with all the Company’s rules, regulations and policies from time to time in force at the Company and any applicable Group Company and any rules which the Company’s or Group’s clients may require you to observe whilst working on their premises.

3.	COMMENCEMENT OF EMPLOYMENT

Your period of continuous employment with the Company commenced on [______].

4.	REMUNERATION

4.1

Your gross basic salary is £[____] per annum (or such other sum as agreed from time to time) (the “Basic Salary”). The salary will be paid after deduction of all taxes and national insurance contributions and is payable in equal monthly instalments on or around the last Friday of each calendar month into your nominated bank account.

4.2	Your Basic Salary will be reviewed in April each year, but there is no obligation for the Company to increase your salary.

4.3

For the purposes of the Employment Rights ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, sections 13-27, you agree that the Company or any Group Company may deduct from your remuneration any sums due from you to the Company including, without limitation, your pension contributions (if any) and any overpayments, loans or advances made to you by the Company.

4.4

You will continue to be eligible for a bonus in respect of the 2014 calendar year, in accordance with the terms of the EMRISE 2013 Annual Incentive Plan.

The new bonus plan applicable to you will be largely based on the existing EMRISE 2013 Annual Incentive Plan but will be based on annual targets set by Data Device Corporation. Details of the new bonus plan will be provided to you separately.

4.5

No bonus will accrue, nor will you have any legitimate expectation as to the size or form of any bonus, until the Company pays it to you. There are no circumstances, whether in reliance on express or implied terms or otherwise, where you can require pay out of a bonus in a particular amount or payment in a particular form or claim compensation for loss of such a bonus.

EXPENSES

The Company shall reimburse to you (against receipts or other appropriate evidence as the Company may require) the amount of all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably and properly incurred by you in the proper performance of your duties hereunder in accordance with the Company’s expenses policy in force from time to time.

6.	NORMAL HOURS OF WORK

6.1

Your normal hours of work are 8:00am to 4:45pm Monday to Thursday and 8:00 – 12:30pm on a Friday, and any such additional hours as are necessary in order to properly perform your duties and/or allow the Company to meet its obligations to its clients. You are not entitled to additional remuneration for hours worked in excess of your normal hours.

7.2	You may reasonably be required to work at any of the Company’s premises or at the premises of its customers, clients, suppliers or associates within the United Kingdom or worldwide from time to time.

7.3	You may be required to work overseas for periods exceeding one month, however there are currently no particulars to be entered in this regard and this will be discussed and agreed with you in advance.

NOTICE

8.1	The length of prior written notice that either party must give in order to terminate your employment is six months.

8.2	The Company may, notwithstanding any other terms of your employment, at any time by notice in writing, terminate your employment with immediate effect and without compensation if:-

(i)

you are guilty of any gross misconduct or behaviour which tends to bring yourself or the Company or any Group Company into disrepute; or

(ii)

if you commit any material or persistent breach of this Statement (in the case of a non-material persistent breach, having been given notice in writing of the breach and a reasonable opportunity to rectify the breach) or fail to comply with any reasonable order or direction of the board of directors of the Company or any Group Company; or

(iii)

if you fail to perform your duties to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company (having been given notice in writing of: (i) the areas of underperformance, (ii) the improvements in performance that are reasonably required by the Company; and (iii) a reasonable period of time to make the necessary improvements in performance); or

(iv)

if you become insolvent or bankrupt or compound with or grant a trust deed for the benefit of your creditors; or

(v)

if your behaviour (whether or not in breach of this Statement) can reasonably be regarded as materially prejudicial to the interests of the Company or any Group Company, including if you are found guilty of any criminal offence punishable by imprisonment (whether or not such sentence is actually imposed); or

if you have an order made against you disqualifying you from acting as a company director; or

(vii)

if you become of unsound mind.

8.3

The Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to terminate your employment immediately by giving you notice in writing either instead of or at any time after prior notice of termination is given by either party under Clause 8.1. In these circumstances the Company will subsequently make a payment in lieu of notice. For this purpose, pay in lieu of notice will be a sum equal to your Basic Salary and all other contractual benefits, but excluding bonus that you would have received during the period of notice outstanding on the termination of your employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s right to make a payment in lieu of notice does not give you a right to receive such a payment in lieu of notice.

8.4

The Company may, at its absolute discretion, require you not to attend at work and/or not to undertake all or any of your duties hereunder during any period of notice (whether given by the Company or you) (“Garden Leave”), provided always that the Company shall continue to pay your salary and contractual benefits.

On termination of your employment you will be entitled to pay in lieu of any holidays which have accrued to you in the holiday year in which the termination takes place but which you have not taken at that time. The Company may require you to take unused holidays during your notice period. If on the termination of your employment, you have taken holidays in excess of the statutory holiday entitlement which has accrued to you at that time you will be required to repay to the Company holiday pay in respect of those holidays.

9.5	Holidays must be taken at times agreed by the Company and sufficient notice of a request to take holiday must be given to the Company.

9.6	All holidays should be taken in the holiday year in which they accrue but by agreement with management, you may carry over a maximum of 5 days over to the next holiday year. Any holidays carried over must be used in the month following the start of the new holiday year, otherwise they will be lost.

Thereafter notes of fitness to work must be provided to the Company to cover the remainder of the period of continuing sickness absence. Failure to follow these requirements may result in disciplinary action and loss of Statutory Sick Pay.

10.6

If the sickness, injury or accident is caused by the act or omission of a third party you must, at the Company’s request, include in any claim for damages against such third party a claim in respect of moneys paid by the Company under this Clause 10 and must refund to the Company any damages recovered under that head.

You may choose to opt-out of the Pension Scheme within one calendar month of the later of the date you became an active member of the Pension Scheme and the date you were given the automatic enrolment information. If you opt-out, or otherwise cease to make sufficient contributions to the Pension Scheme, the Company will automatically re-enrol you into the Pension Scheme on or around the third anniversary of the Company’s staging date, and every three years thereafter, if you meet the statutory conditions at that time.

11.2	The Company will make an annual employer contribution to the Pension Scheme of an amount equal to 4% of your Basic Salary, provided that you make the minimum level of employee contributions you are required to make pursuant to the Pensions ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

EXHIBIT C

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [˜], 2015, is entered into by and among DDC (United Kingdom) Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England (“Purchaser”), EMRISE Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Wilmington Trust, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent” and, together with Purchaser and Seller, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below). This Agreement shall become effective only at, and contingent upon, the Closing.

BACKGROUND

A. On [˜], 2015, Purchaser, Seller and EMRISE Electronics Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”).

B. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and as a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (a) the Indemnity Escrow Account (as defined below) is being established to provide security for the indemnity obligations of Seller set forth in Article 10 of the Purchase Agreement and (b) the Working Capital Escrow Account (as defined below) is being established to provide security for a Shortfall in Closing Working Capital as described in Section 2.04(b)(vi) of the Purchase Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint and designate Wilmington Trust, N.A. as the escrow agent for the purposes set forth in this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. From and after the deposit of the Escrow Funds (as defined below) into the Escrow Accounts (as defined below) as set forth herein, the Escrow Agent will hold and safeguard the Escrow Amounts (as defined below), will treat the Escrow Amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and will hold, distribute and dispose of the Escrow Amounts only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2. Establishment of Escrow Accounts.

(a) Purchaser has delivered to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement, and the Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of (i) $900,000 (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) and (ii) $400,000 (the “Working Capital Escrow Fund” and, together with the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the “Escrow Funds”) in immediately available funds. The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the Working Capital Escrow Fund in separate and distinct escrow accounts (the “Indemnity Escrow Account” and the “Working Capital Escrow Account,” respectively, and, collectively, the “Escrow Accounts”) and hold the Indemnity Escrow Account and the Working Capital Escrow Account and any interest or earnings on each respective Escrow Fund (with respect to each such Escrow Fund, the “Earnings”), in the name of the Escrow Agent or in the name of its nominee, in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) The Indemnity Escrow Fund and Working Capital Escrow Fund shall be invested and reinvested in the M&T Bank Corporate Deposit Account, as fully described in the attached Annex B. The aggregate amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund (including any subsequent Earnings thereon) remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account at any given time is herein referred to as the “Indemnity Escrow Amount.” The aggregate amount of the Working Capital Escrow Fund (including any subsequent Earnings thereon) remaining in the Working Capital Escrow Account at any given time is herein referred to as the “Working Capital Escrow Amount.” Collectively, the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Working Capital Escrow Amount are referred to herein as the “Escrow Amounts.”

-1-

(c) Each of the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be held separately as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Party.

3. Distributions of Indemnity Escrow Amount; Expiration Date. On the date that is twelve months after the date of this Agreement, (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to Purchaser’s right to distributions of the Indemnity Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, any then-remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be distributed to Seller under the terms set forth in this Agreement and in the Purchase Agreement, within five Business Days; provided, however, that all or any portion of the then-existing Indemnity Escrow Amount equal to the aggregate amount of remaining, unsatisfied, bona fide claims under any Officer’s Claim Certificate properly delivered to Seller and the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Purchase Agreement prior to the Expiration Date shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account at and after the Expiration Date until the disposition of such amounts is finally determined in accordance with this Agreement.

4. Claims Against Indemnity Escrow Amount. In the event that:

(a) Purchaser and Seller deliver to the Escrow Agent a notice or memorandum jointly executed by Purchaser and Seller and specifying that Purchaser or another Indemnitee is entitled to recover funds from the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with Section 10.04(d) or 10.04(e) of the Purchase Agreement, or

(b) (i) Purchaser has delivered an Officer’s Claim Certificate to Seller (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) in accordance with Section 10.04(a) and 10.04(b) of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) Seller has not delivered a Claim Dispute Notice to Purchaser (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) within the 30-day period commencing upon receipt of the Officer’s Claim Certificate by Seller as set forth in Section 10.04(c) of the Purchase Agreement, (iii) Purchaser and Seller have not otherwise provided a notice or memorandum to the Escrow Agent as described in Section 4(a) hereof, and (iv) Purchaser has delivered a notice or memorandum to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to Seller) executed by Purchaser and stating that the events described in subsections “(i)”, “(ii)” and “(iii)” of this Section 4(b) have occurred,

then the Escrow Agent shall promptly (and in any event no later than five Business Days after receipt of such notice) deliver to Purchaser from the Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash equal to the amount of funds specified to be released from such account as set forth in such notice or memorandum.

(c) Pursuant to Section 6 hereof, if the Shortfall (if any), as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Purchase Agreement, is greater than the amount in the Working Capital Escrow Fund, then the notice or memorandum jointly executed by Purchaser and Seller delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 6 hereof shall include a direction to pay to Purchaser out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund the amount by which the Shortfall is greater than the amount in the Working Capital Escrow Fund; and, upon receipt thereof, the Escrow Agent shall, no later than two Business Days after receipt of such instructions, deliver to Purchaser from the Indemnity Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash equal to the amount of funds specified to be released from such account as set forth in such notice or memorandum.

5. Unresolved Claims Upon the Expiration Date.

(a) If the aggregate amount set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificates properly delivered by Purchaser to Seller (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) is equal to or greater than the then-current aggregate Indemnity Escrow Fund, then no portion of the aggregate Indemnity Escrow Amount held in the Indemnity Escrow Account will be delivered or distributed to any Person and shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account until the disposition of such amounts is finally determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. If, at any time after the Expiration Date, the aggregate amount of claims set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificates delivered by Purchaser is less than the then-current Indemnity Escrow Amount, then the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount in excess of the aggregate amount of claims set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificates delivered by Purchaser shall be distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.

-2-

(b) For purposes of determining at any particular time the portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount held in the Indemnity Escrow Account that is necessary or sufficient to satisfy and/or provide for all remaining, unsatisfied, bona fide claims set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificates, Purchaser will be assumed to be entitled to the full amount set forth in the most recent Officer’s Claim Certificates delivered by Purchaser until the disposition of such amount is finally determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

6. Distribution of Working Capital Escrow Fund. No later than two Business Days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a notice or memorandum jointly executed by Purchaser and Seller directing the Escrow Agent to distribute the amount of the Shortfall (if any), as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.04 of the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash equal to the amount of such Shortfall, as set forth in such a notice or memorandum, and any then-remaining portion of the Working Capital Escrow Amount shall be distributed to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that if the Working Capital Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay the entire Shortfall, then Purchaser shall be entitled to the entire amount of the Working Capital Escrow Fund, and shall additionally be entitled to recover the remaining amount of the Shortfall from the Indemnity Escrow Fund as set forth in Section 4(c) hereof.

7. Tax Treatment and Allocation of Income on Indemnity Escrow Amount.

(a) The Parties agree that for all U.S. federal and state tax reporting purposes, (i) the Escrow Amounts will be treated as owned by Seller, in all cases to the extent not paid to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) all interest or other income earned from the investment of the Escrow Amounts in any calendar year (the “Escrow Income”) shall be allocated to and shall be timely reported by the Escrow Agent to Seller on applicable IRS forms in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Not later than five Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, upon Seller’s direction, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Seller from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to the product of (a) Escrow Income earned during such calendar quarter and (b) forty percent (40%) (a “Seller Tax Distribution”). Upon Seller’s direction, the Escrow Agent shall also make a Seller Tax Distribution immediately prior to any distribution of any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount to Purchaser with respect to the Escrow Income earned during the period since the last Seller Tax Distribution was made, provided, however, that no duplicate Seller Tax Distributions shall be made with respect to any Escrow Income.

(b) Prior to the date of the Closing, each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Escrow Agent with certified taxpayer identification numbers by arranging for execution and return of IRS Forms W-9 to the Escrow Agent. The Parties acknowledge that in the event that the taxpayer identification number of Purchaser or Seller is not certified to the Escrow Agent and an appropriate exemption is not otherwise established, the Escrow Agent may be required to withhold a portion of any interest or other income earned from the investment of the Escrow Amounts or any distribution from the Escrow Amounts to Purchaser or Seller.

8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the final distribution of the last remaining portion of the latter of the Escrow Amounts remaining in accordance with this Agreement, provided that Sections ‎8, 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9. Exculpatory Provisions. The Escrow Agent will be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely and will be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Party or Parties. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall deliver to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ forms in the form of Annex A-1 and Annex A-2 to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for forgeries or false impersonations. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as escrow agent except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct . The Escrow Agent will, in no case or event, be liable for punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages (including without limitation lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the possibility of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any investment losses, including without limitation any market loss on any investment liquidated prior to maturity in order to make a payment required hereunder.

-3-

(a) Any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice or opinion of counsel will be conclusive evidence of the good faith of the Escrow Agent.

(b) The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the Parties or by any other Person, and is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court or rulings of arbitrators. In case the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court or arbitrator, the Escrow Agent will not be liable to any of the Parties or to any other Person by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment, decree or arbitrators’ ruling being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

(c) The Escrow Agent will not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the Parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver this Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

(d) The Escrow Agent will not be liable for the outlawing of any rights under any statute of limitations with respect to the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any documents deposited with the Escrow Agent.

10. Resignation and Removal of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign as escrow agent hereunder at any time with or without cause by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to each of Purchaser and Seller, such resignation to be effective 30 days following the date such notice is given. In addition, Purchaser and Seller may jointly remove the Escrow Agent as escrow agent at any time with or without cause, by an instrument executed by Purchaser and Seller (which may be executed in counterparts) given to the Escrow Agent, which instrument will designate the effective date of such removal, which date will not be less than 30 days from the date of such instrument. In the event of any such resignation or removal, a successor escrow agent which will be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America having (or if such bank or trust company is a member of a bank company, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000, will be appointed by Purchaser with the approval of Seller, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Purchaser fails to appoint a successor escrow agent within 15 days after receiving the Escrow Agent’s written notice, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent. Any such successor escrow agent will deliver to Purchaser and Seller a written instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon it will succeed to all the rights and duties of the escrow agent hereunder and will be entitled to receive possession of the Escrow Funds.

11. Further Instruments. Purchaser and Seller shall execute and deliver such instruments and other documents as may be required in connection with, and otherwise assist and cooperate with the Escrow Agent in performing its duties under this Agreement.

12. Governing Law; Disputes; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Process in any such proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 15(b) shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

(c) The headings and captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not be used in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(d) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (whether delivered by facsimile or otherwise), each of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties; it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

(e) This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede (i) all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (ii) any information provided by any Party to any other Party. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder.

(f) Except as provided in Section 10 with respect to the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, Purchaser may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of any other Party, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time or to any other Person.

Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(h) To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity the Escrow Agent will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Escrow Agent may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. Each of Purchaser and Seller agree to provide all such information and documentation as to themselves as requested by Escrow Agent to ensure compliance with federal law.

(i) Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of this Agreement.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of _____________, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by Data Device Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Service Provider”), and EMRISE Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Service Provider, EMRISE Electronics Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England, and Seller, dated as of ________, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

R E C I T A L S

A. In further consideration of the Purchase Agreement and related transactions, Seller will require the Service Provider’s assistance with respect to certain operations of Seller’s business following the Closing Date.

B. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and the Service Provider is conditional to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties to this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1. Services to be Performed.

(a) Services and Level of Services. During the Term (as defined in Section 3), the Service Provider agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the services described in Schedule 1 (each, a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”). During the Term, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of the Services.

(b) New Services. If Seller wishes to request a new service that is not a Service described in Schedule 1 (a “New Service”), it will submit to the Service Provider a written request for such New Service. The Service Provider will, within ten (10) Business Days of the date of such notice, provide Seller with a written response indicating whether (1) the Service Provider agrees to provide such New Service, and if such is the case, such response will include the pricing and an estimated timeline for implementation of such New Service, or (2) the Service Provider declines, in its sole discretion, to provide the New Service. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Service Provider is not obligated to agree to provide any New Service. If the Service Provider does not provide a response within such ten (10) Business Day-period, such request for New Service shall be deemed rejected. If Seller accepts the terms offered by the Service Provider for the New Service and provides the Service Provider with written notice of such acceptance, such New Service will be implemented as mutually agreed in writing by the parties, and from the date of such notice and thereafter for the duration of the Term, such New Service will be deemed a “Service” hereunder and will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable of this Agreement.

(c) Selection of Employees. The Services shall be provided by the Employees set forth on Schedule 1. In the event such Employees are no longer available to perform the Services, the Service Provider shall designate, in its reasonable judgment, such other Employees or Persons to perform the Services, subject to the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If Seller reasonably determines that such Employees or other Persons are not performing the Services as specified by this Agreement, Seller may provide written notice to the Service Provider with a description of the underlying performance issues. In such event, the Service Provider agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to substitute such Employees or other Persons with another Employee or other Person designated by the Service Provider and capable of providing the Services in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Whenever Service Provider utilizes its Employees to perform the Services, such Persons shall at all times remain subject to the sole direction, control and supervision of Service Provider and not of Seller. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give rise to an employment relationship between Seller and the Employees of Seller or any other Person performing the Services and Seller shall have no liability to such Employees or Persons for their wages, compensation, fringe benefits, legally required employer contributions or tax obligations by virtue of the relationships established under this Agreement.

-1-

(d) Rights. Seller represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights and consents to permit Service Provider to undertake the Services, including without limitation any rights and consents necessary for Service Provider to access and use any systems, software, data, or information to which Seller provides access.

2. Consideration and Payment for Services.

(a) Invoices; Payment. For the Services, Seller will pay the Service Provider the fees and costs set forth in Schedule 1. The Service Provider will invoice Seller for Services promptly following the end of each fiscal month during the Term. Each invoice will include, to the extent any Service has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the amount and corresponding cost, based on the fees and costs set forth in Schedule 1, of Services rendered during the prior fiscal month. Seller will pay all amounts set forth in an invoice, that are not reasonably in dispute, not later than thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of the invoice.

(b) Invoice Disputes. In the event that Seller reasonably disputes the amount of any invoice, Seller will pay the undisputed portion of such invoice and will send to the Service Provider along with such payment a written notice of such dispute. Within ten (10) Business Days of the Service Provider’s receipt of such notice, and for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as mutually agreed by the parties), the Service Provider will, or will cause its Affiliates to, make available to Seller and its representatives, during normal business hours, documentation in the possession of the Service Provider or its Affiliates reasonably necessary to enable Seller to review the invoice, the data on which it was based and the methods by which amounts due were computed or determined. If, upon completion of such review, the Service Provider and Seller, each acting in good faith, are not in agreement as to the amount of the invoice, a representative from each of Seller and the Service Provider who, in each case, is knowledgeable about the costs or expenses in the applicable invoice, will for a period of thirty (30) days (a “Dispute Resolution Period”) enter into good faith discussions to reach mutual agreement as to the disputed amount of any such invoice. Seller will not be obligated to pay any disputed invoice amounts during a Dispute Resolution Period and such nonpayment is not a breach or violation of this Agreement. Service Provider shall continue performing the Services in accordance with this Agreement pending resolution of any disputed invoice.

(c) All fees set forth in Schedule 1 are exclusive of taxes and shall be paid without deduction or withholding for any tax. Seller shall pay all taxes, duties and levies imposed by all federal, state, local or other taxing authorities (including any sales, use, excise, and value-added taxes) based on the transactions or payments under this Agreement, other than taxes imposed or based on the Service Provider’s net income arising out of the Service Provider’s receipt of fees pursuant to Section 2(a).

3. Term and Termination.

(a) The term (the “Term”) of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue in effect until the date nine (9) months after the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 3(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated, in whole or in part, at any time:

(i) by the mutual consent of Seller and the Service Provider;

(ii) by Seller upon at least ten (10) days’ advance written notice to Service Provider that Seller elects to terminate this Agreement effective as of the date set forth in such notice; or

(iii) by the Service Provider in the event of any material breach or default by Seller of any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the failure of Seller to cure, or to take substantial steps towards the curing of, such breach or default within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from the Service Provider requesting that such breach or default be cured.

-2-

In addition, with respect to individual Services, Seller may give at least ten (10) days’ prior notice in writing to the Service Provider at any time to terminate a particular Service and such Service will be terminated ten (10) days after the date of such notice or, if requested by Seller, as of the date set forth in such notice, provided that such date is at least ten (10) days after the date of such notice. Following any such termination, except for fees and costs related to Services rendered to Seller prior to the date of such termination, Seller will have no further obligation to pay the Service Provider the corresponding costs for any such terminated Services.

(c) Notwithstanding termination or expiration of this Agreement, Sections 2, 3(c), 4, 5 and 6 shall survive and continue in effect beyond such termination or expiration, in accordance with their respective terms and conditions.

4. Warranty Disclaimer.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE.

5. Limitation of Liability.

EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF SECTION 6(K), UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF SECTION 6(K), IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY SELLER TO THE SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Interpretation. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel has reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits to this Agreement.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of laws principles.

(c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original instrument, and all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures (including those in PDF format) will be treated as if they were originals.

Neither party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

(e) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

(f) Severability.

(g) Non-Waiver. Except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement or in a writing signed by the parties, the failure of either party to insist in any instance on strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any such provision or the relinquishment of any rights thereunder in the future.

(h) Independent Parties. The parties acknowledge and agree, that in providing Services hereunder, Service Provider is an independent contractor of Seller. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed or construed for any purpose to establish, between either of the Service Provider and Seller, a partnership or joint venture, a principal-agent relationship, or any other relationship not specifically stated in this Agreement.

Confidential Information does not include information that (i) is or subsequently becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of or in connection with a breach of this Section 6(k) or (ii) is lawfully received by a party hereto on a non-confidential basis from a third party that is not bound by an obligation of confidentiality. From and after the date hereof, except as expressly authorized in writing by Discloser, (x) Recipient will hold in confidence all Confidential Information of the Discloser and will not disclose or otherwise make available any such Confidential Information to any third party, except in confidence to persons having a bona fide actual need to know in furtherance of Recipient’s exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and (y) Recipient will not use any Confidential Information of Discloser, except in furtherance of Recipient’s exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under this Agreement. If Recipient is compelled to disclose any such information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, such party shall promptly notify Discloser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such party is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided that such party shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. Recipient will take the same degree of care to protect the Confidential Information of Discloser that it uses to protect its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature, which will be no less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient shall, at the request of Discloser, promptly return or, at Recipient’s option, promptly destroy and certify the destruction of the Confidential Information of Discloser.

(l) Further Assurances. Each party shall execute, deliver, acknowledge and file such other documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the other party hereto to give effect to and carry out the transactions contemplated herein.
