Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Amendment of Purchase Agreement
 
On September 1, 2011, Lapis Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), dated as of August 31, 2011, with UTA Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“UTA”), pursuant to which the Company and UTA amended the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2011, as amended on August 16, 2011, by and between the Company and UTA (the “Purchase Agreement”).
 
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and UTA amended the Purchase Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Purchase Agreement”) to, among other things, provide for (i) a 12-month, secured promissory note for the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Intermediate Note”) that may be issued to UTA by the Company upon 60 days’ prior notice by UTA or the Company, which notice either UTA or the Company may give to the other party commencing on December 30, 2011 (but no later than the first to occur of June 1, 2012 or the consummation of the second closing contemplated by the Purchase Agreement); (ii) a warrant entitling UTA to purchase from the Company up to a total of 2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, subject to adjustment as described below (the “2% Intermediate Warrant”), that the Company will issue to UTA if a closing with respect to the Intermediate Note takes place (the “Intermediate Closing”); (iii) a warrant entitling UTA to purchase from the Company up to a total of 2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, that the Company will issue to UTA in certain circumstances in the event that the Intermediate Closing does not occur (the “2% Default Intermediate Warrant” and together with the 2% Intermediate Warrant, the “Intermediate Warrant”); and (iv) the amendment of the secured promissory note to be issued at the second closing (the “Second Note”), if any, to provide that the principal amount of the Second Note is to equal $3,000,000 less the aggregate unpaid principal amount outstanding under the Intermediate Note as of the date of the second closing.
 
The Intermediate Note will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and principal will be due to be repaid on the maturity date. The proceeds from the issuance of the Intermediate Note are to be used solely to refinance the existing bank facility provided by First International Bank of Israel and to pay fees and expenses related thereto.
 
In the event that, as of the six-month anniversary of the date of the Intermediate Closing, the Company has not satisfied and discharged all of its obligations under the Intermediate Note, the percentage of shares underlying the 2% Intermediate Warrant (the “Fixed Percentage”) will be automatically increased from 2% to 4%.  The Fixed Percentage will be increased by an additional 2% on each three-month anniversary thereafter until the expiration date of the 2% Intermediate Warrant if the Company has not satisfied and discharged all of its obligations under the Intermediate Note as of such dates.  The Fixed Percentage will cease to increase following the closing of an acquisition by the Company, directly or indirectly, of the majority of the equity interests in or substantially all of the assets of (x) an acquisition candidate currently being considered by the Company, or, (y) subject to UTA’s prior written consent, another entity.

The First Note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and principal is due to be repaid in three equal principal payments of $1,000,000 on each of September 1, 2012, September 1, 2013 and March 1, 2014. Net proceeds from the sale of the First Note are to be used as working capital for the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
First Warrant
 
On September 1, 2011, the Company issued to UTA a warrant (the “First Warrant”) to purchase up to 952,227 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), representing 12% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis.  The First Warrant first becomes exercisable on March 1, 2012 and will terminate, to the extent not exercised, on March 1, 2017.

On September 1, 2011, each of Enertec Electronics and Enertec Management Limited, an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enertec Electronics, entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement, under which they each guaranteed all of the Company’s obligations under the transaction documents and agreed not to transfer, pledge or encumber any shares of Enertec Management and Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enertec Management (“Enertec Systems”), without the prior written consent of UTA unless such transfer, pledge or encumbrance is contemplated by the transaction documents.  Enertec Electronics also granted UTA, as security in favor of UTA for the obligations of the Company under the transaction documents, a security interest in and lien on all of the shares of Enertec Management and Enertec Management granted UTA, as security in favor of UTA for the obligations of the Company under the transaction documents, a security interest in and lien on all of the shares of capital stock of Enertec Systems.
 
 
 

 
 
On September 1, 2011, Enertec Systems also entered into a Security Agreement guaranteeing all of the Company’s obligations under the transaction documents and granting UTA, as security in favor of UTA for the obligations of the Company under the transaction documents, a security interest in and lien on all of Enertec Systems’ then owned or thereafter acquired accounts receivable, contracts, chattel paper, equipment and all other assets.

3.           SECURITY.  The obligations of Borrower hereunder are secured by (a) a security interest in and pledge of (i) all of the assets of the Borrower, including all of the shares of capital stock of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries presently owned or hereinafter acquired, either directly or indirectly, by the Borrower, certain of which security interests and pledges may be subordinate to pledges of such assets to banking institutions that have or may provide credit to the Borrower, and (b) guarantees of all of the obligations of Borrower hereunder being made by the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, which guarantees are secured by a security interest in and pledge of all of the assets of the Subsidiaries, including all of the shares of capital stock of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries presently owned or hereinafter acquired, either directly or indirectly, by the guarantor Subsidiaries, certain of which security interests and pledges may be subordinate to pledges of such assets to banking institutions that have or may provide credit to the Subsidiaries, all as more fully described in the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b)           If all or a portion of the principal amount of the Note or any interest payable thereon shall not be repaid within three (3) business days of when due whether on the applicable repayment date, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is three percent (3%) above the Interest Rate then in effect, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (before as well as after judgment) and shall be due immediately.
 
(c)           The Borrower shall repay to the Purchaser the Principal Amount in three equal principal payments of $1,000,000 each, the first on the first anniversary date of the date of this Note, and the second on the second anniversary date of the date of this Note, with the remaining principal balance due at the Maturity Date.

10.         ENFORCEABILITY.  The Borrower acknowledges that this Note and Borrower’s obligations under this Note are and shall at all times continue to be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense to this Note and the obligations of Borrower under this Note or the obligations of any other Person relating to this Note.  The Transaction Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of Purchaser and Borrower, and Borrower absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any set-off, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Note or the obligations of Borrower hereunder, or the obligations of any other Person relating hereto or thereto or to the obligations of Borrower hereunder or otherwise in any action or proceeding brought by Purchaser to collect on the Note, or any portion thereof (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim maintained in a court of the United States, or of the State of New York if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Purchaser in any separate action or proceeding).  The Borrower acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, conditions, promises, understandings, representations or warranties exist with respect to the Transaction Documents or with respect to the obligations of Borrower thereunder, except those specifically set forth in the Transaction Documents.  Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses of Purchaser related to Purchaser’s enforcement of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and the collection of all sums payable hereunder, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, irrespective of whether litigation is commenced.  Any such amounts shall be payable on demand, with interest at the rate provided above for overdue principal and interest.

Dated: September 1, 2011

Lapis Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, UTA Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), shall initially be entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 952,227 shares of common stock of the Company, $.001 par value per share (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price initially equal to: $0.50 per Warrant Share for the purchase of the Warrant Shares, as such exercise price may be adjusted pursuant to the following proviso and pursuant to Section 9 hereof, provided however, that in the event that the after-tax consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries for calendar year 2012, increased by the recorded expenses related to this warrant and any additional warrant issued to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), each as calculated in accordance with GAAP and reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2012, is in excess of $7,000,000 (the “Target After-Tax Net Income Amount”), the exercise price in respect of one third (1/3) of all the unexercised Warrant Shares shall be automatically increased to $1.00 per share and two thirds (2/3) of all then unexercised Warrant Shares shall be exercisable at $0.50 per share (hereinafter, collectively, referred to as the “Exercise Price”), at any time commencing on the date that is six months after the Initial Closing Date, and through and including the date that is sixty-six months from such Initial Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions hereof.  In the event the Company issues additional shares or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) as part of an acquisition of assets or shares of another company following the date of this Warrant, then the Target After-Tax Net Income Amount shall be multiplied by the ratio of (x) the sum of post-acquisition (i) issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) Common Stock Equivalents of the Company to (y) the sum of pre-acquisition (i) issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) Common Stock Equivalents of the Company.
 
 
 

 
 
This Warrant was issued pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, by and among the Company and the Purchaser (the “Purchase Agreement”).
 
1.           Definitions.  In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
2.           Registration of Warrant.  The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
3.           Registration of Transfers.  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto as Annex A duly completed and signed, to the transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified herein.  Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
 
4.           Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
 
a.           This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time commencing six months after the date hereof, and through and including the Expiration Date.  At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value;  provided that, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date.
 
b.           A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto as Annex B (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed along with the Warrant, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice), and the date that the last of such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.”  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

c.           Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant and Warrants of like tenor at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% (the “Required Reserve Amount”) of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants of like tenor then outstanding (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Warrants of like tenor then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall either (i)  call a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or (ii) attempt to obtain the requisite stockholder vote by written consents.  In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement or an information statement, as the case may be, and, in the case of a stockholders’ meeting, shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
 
5.           Delivery of Warrant Shares.
 
a.           The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless this Warrant is being exercised in full.  To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall duly execute and deliver to the Company at its address for notice set forth herein, an Exercise Notice in the form of Annex B hereto, along with the Warrant Share Exercise Log in the form of Annex C hereto, and shall pay the Exercise Price, if applicable, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder.  The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Trading Days after the date of exercise) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise.  The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, and subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the SEC (provided that the Holder represents in writing to the Company that it has sold or committed in a binding sale agreement or sale order to promptly sell such Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of the prospectus contained in the registration statement), or if and to the extent this Warrant has been exercised on a “cashless exercise” basis and the provisions of Rule 144 have been satisfied, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.  If by the fifth (5rd) Trading Day after exercise of this Warrant, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares, the Holder will have the right to rescind the exercise.  If by the fifth (5rd) Trading Day after exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares, and if after such fifth Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy In”), then the Company shall (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the shares of Common Stock on the Exercise Date and (ii) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy In.

b.           This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of at least 100,000 Warrant Shares unless this Warrant is at any time exerciseable for fewer than 100,000 Warrant Shares, in which case this Warrant shall only be exerciseable for such remainder.  Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
c.           The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
6.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Initial issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
7.           Replacement of Warrant.  If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested.  Applicants for a new Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

8.           Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving effect to the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9, if any).  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the shares of Common Stock may be listed.  The Company will notify its transfer agent for the reservation of shares of Common Stock as required under this provision.
 
9.           Certain Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9. In no event shall the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant be adjusted pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section 9 as a result of any single event or series of related events.
 
a.           Share Dividends and Splits.  If after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a share dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares and the then applicable Exercise Price shall be correspondingly decreased.
 
b.           Aggregation of Shares.  If after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, upon the effective date of such consolidation, combination or reclassification, the number of shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares and the then applicable Exercise Price shall be correspondingly increased.
 
c.           Replacement of or Payment for Securities Upon Reorganization, etc.  If after the date hereof any capital reorganization or reclassification of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or other similar event (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”) shall be effected, then, as a condition of such Fundamental Transaction, lawful and fair provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, such shares, securities, cash or other assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place and in such event appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.  The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such Fundamental Transaction, or the corporation purchasing such assets in a Fundamental Transaction, shall assume by written instrument executed and delivered to the Holder of this Warrant the obligation to deliver to the Holder of this Warrant such shares, securities, cash or other assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase.

d.           Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Purchasable Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  In the event the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares of Common Stock”), other than Exempt Issuances (as defined below), while any portion of this Warrant remains outstanding, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price, then:
 
i.           the Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent), determined in accordance with the following formula:
 
EP2 = EP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A + C).
 
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
 
a.           “EP2” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
 
b.           “EP1” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
 
c.           “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) outstanding immediately prior to such issue;
 
d.           “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to EP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by EP1); and
 
e.           “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction; and
 
 
6

 
 
ii.          the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased, concurrently with the decrease in Exercise Price described above, such that the Aggregate Warrant Equity Percentage (as defined below) of the Warrant shall be no less than the Aggregate Warrant Equity Percentage of the Warrant immediately prior to such decrease in Exercise Price, less only such appropriate adjustments as are required to reflect prior partial exercises of this Warrant.
 
For purposes hereof, “Aggregate Warrant Equity Percentage” at any time means the percentage determined by dividing the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant at such time by the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (x) outstanding at such time, (y) issuable upon conversion or exchange of  any stock or securities (other than  any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities) convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time and (y) issuable upon exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding at such time (including this Warrant). The initial Aggregate Warrant Equity Percentage of this Warrant shall be 12.00%.
 
For purposes hereof, “Exempt Issuances” shall mean the issuance of (i) up to 500,000 shares to employees, officers and/or independent directors (but not including any officer, director or employee who immediately prior to such issuance or grant is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the Company’s Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13d-3)) pursuant to equity incentive plans approved by the Company’s stockholders, provided such issuances are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors including a majority of the Company’s independent directors, (ii) up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock as part of mergers or acquisitions approved by the Company’s Board of Directors including a majority of the Company’s independent directors, and (iii) Settlement Shares (as defined below).
 
e.           Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Purchasable Upon Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents.  In the event the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue any Convertible Security (defined as evidences of indebtedness, ordinary or convertible preferred shares or other securities which are or may be at any time convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) or warrant, option or other right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Security (an “Common Stock Equivalents”), other than Settlement Shares, while any portion of this Warrant remains outstanding, and the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be less than the Exercise Price, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended, and such price as so amended shall be less than the Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in Section 9(d) above, on the basis that Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, or (ii) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents.  No adjustment of the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable shall be made under this Section 9(e) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefore, if any adjustment shall previously have been made in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this Section 9(e).

f.           Computation of Consideration.  The consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the following: to the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued for a cash consideration, the consideration received by the Company therefore; or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price; or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and without deduction of any compensation, discounts, commissions, or expenses paid or incurred by the Company for or in connection with the underwriting thereof or otherwise in connection with the issue thereof.  The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Company for issuing such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.  In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in payment or satisfaction of any dividend upon any class of share other than share of Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.  In any case in which the consideration to be received or paid shall be other than cash, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith the fair market value of such consideration and promptly notify the Holder of its determination of the fair market value of such consideration prior to payment or accepting receipt thereof.  If, within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, the Holder shall notify the Board of Directors of the Company in writing of its objection to such determination, a determination of fair market value of such consideration shall be made by an appraiser selected by the Company and approved by the Holder.  If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree on the selection of an appraiser, the issue of selection of an appraiser shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association.
 
g.           Settlement Shares.  In the event the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subsequent to the Initial Closing Date while any portion of this Warrant remains outstanding in settlement of, or otherwise arising out of, any claim of entitlement to equity of the Company or of any Subsidiary that is based on events or circumstances that arose prior to the Initial Closing Date (“Settlement Shares”), then the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall then be increased by a number of shares of Common Stock such that the Aggregate Warrant Equity Percentage of the Warrant equals the Aggregate Warrant Equity Percentage of the Warrant immediately prior to the issuance of such Settlement Shares.  The remedy provided in this Section 9(g) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Holder with respect to the matters covered hereby.
 
 
8

 
 
h.           Readjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Purchasable.  Upon the expiration of the right to convert, exchange or exercise any Common Stock Equivalents the issuance of which effected an adjustment in the Exercise Price, if such Common Stock Equivalents shall not have been converted, exercised or exchanged, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding by reason of the fact that they were issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any such Common Stock Equivalents shall no longer be computed as set forth above, and the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 after the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents) had the adjustment of the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable been made in accordance with the issuance or sale of the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock actually issued upon conversion, exchange or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents and thereupon only the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock actually so issued shall be deemed to have been issued and only the consideration actually received by the Company shall be deemed to have been received by the Company.
 
i.           Treasury Shares.  In making any adjustment in the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereinbefore provided in this Section 9, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Company.
 
j.           Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of shares of Common Stock.
 
k.           Notice of Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities, cash or property issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.
 
l.           Notice of Corporate Events.  If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its shares of Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for  (x) any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (y) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (z) any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company, subject to obtaining an agreement from the Holder to keep such information confidential and not to purchase or sell the Company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company), shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least five business days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold shares of Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
 
 
9

 
 
m.           Rights Upon Distribution of Assets.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
 
i.           any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the closing bid price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the fair market value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of the Company, and (ii) the denominator shall be the closing bid price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and
 
ii.          the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exerciseable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding subparagraph (i); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding subparagraph (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this subparagraph (ii).
 
 
10

 
 
10.         Payment of Exercise Price.  The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however, that any time the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
Where:
 
 
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the average of the applicable closing prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date, or (if the Common Stock is not listed for trading on a securities exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter quotation service) the price reasonably determined by the Company’s Board of Directors to constitute the fair market value of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.
 
11.         Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole share and the purchase prices of such fraction of a share shall be paid to the Holder in cash.
 
12.         Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address specified in the Purchase Agreement prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
13.         Purchase Agreement.  The Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable are entitled to the benefits and subject to the limitations of the Purchase Agreement, which include registration rights for the Warrant Shares.
 
 
11

 
 
14.         Miscellaneous.
 
a.           Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Warrant and the registration rights set forth in the Purchase Agreement may be assigned by the Holder in denominations of not less than 100,000 Warrant Shares or in its entirety, provided that following such assignment, the further disposition of such Warrant and Warrant Shares by the assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Warrant and Warrant Shares, by the provisions of Articles 10, 11, and 13 of the Purchase Agreement and Section 5.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement.  This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company except to a successor in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or a merger or acquisition of the Company.  This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Subject to the preceding sentences, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.  This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.
 
b.           The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
c.           GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING REGARD TO ANY APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE GENERAL APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF.  NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.  THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

4.           Delivery of the Collateral.  The Pledgor hereby agrees that:
 
(a)           Delivery of Certificates.  The Pledgor shall deliver to Seyfarth Shaw LLP for the benefit of the Pledgee (i) all certificates and instruments constituting the Equity Interests presently owned by the Pledgor and (ii) promptly upon the receipt by the Pledgor, all certificates and instruments constituting the Equity Interests that are hereinafter received, whether directly or indirectly, by the Pledgor.  Prior to such delivery to Seyfarth Shaw LLP for the benefit of the Pledgee, all such certificates and instruments constituting the Equity Interests shall be held in trust by the Pledgor for the benefit of the Pledgee pursuant hereto.  All such certificates shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 1 attached hereto.

(c)           Financing Statements.  The Pledgor authorizes the Pledgee to file such UCC (as defined in Section 1 above) or other applicable financing statements, as may be reasonably requested by the Pledgee in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest created hereby in the Collateral.
 
5.           Other Obligations of the Pledgor.
 
(a)           Waiver.  The Pledgor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Secured Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that the Pledgee exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person or any collateral.
 
(b)           Subrogation.  The Pledgor will not exercise any rights which the Pledgor may acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise until all the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations which by their terms survive termination of the Purchase Agreement and other Documents).  If any amount shall be paid to the Pledgor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations which by their terms survive termination of the Purchase Agreement and other Documents), such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee and shall forthwith be paid to the Pledgee to be credited and applied upon the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in any order which it may, in its discretion, elect.  If (i) the Pledgor shall make payment to the Pledgee of all or any part of the Secured Obligations and (ii) all the Secured Obligations shall be paid in full (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations which by their terms survive termination of the Purchase Agreement and other Documents), the Pledgee will, at the Pledgor’s request, execute and deliver to the Pledgor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Pledgor of an interest in the Secured Obligations resulting from such payment by the Pledgor.
 
6.           Representations and Warranties.  The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Pledgee that as of the date hereof:
 
(a)           Authorization of the Equity Interests.  The Equity Interests are duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person.  All other shares of stock or membership or partnership interests constituting Collateral will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person.

(b)           Title.  The Pledgor has good and indefeasible title to the Collateral and will at all times be the legal and beneficial owner of such Collateral free and clear of any attachments, levies, taxes, liens, security interests, hypothecations and encumbrances of every kind and nature (“Liens”), other than Liens permitted by the Purchase Agreement.  There exists no “adverse claim” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC with respect to the Equity Interests.
 
(c)           Exercising of Rights.  To the best of the Pledgor’s Knowledge so long as done in accordance with laws affecting the offering and sale of securities and the UCC or other relevant law in the applicable jurisdiction, the exercise by the Pledgee of its rights and remedies hereunder will not violate any law or governmental regulation or any material contractual restriction (except for the loan documents entered into with FIBI) binding on or affecting the Pledgor, the Collateral or any of the Pledgor’s other property.
 
(d)           Pledgor’s Authority.  No authorization, approval or action by, and no notice or filing with any governmental authority or with the issuer of any Equity Interests is required either (i) for the pledges made by the Pledgor or for the granting of the Security Interest by the Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) to the best of the Pledgor’s Knowledge, for the exercise by the Pledgee of its rights and remedies hereunder (except as may be required by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities and those that have already been obtained).
 
(e)           Security Interest/Priority.  This Agreement creates a valid first priority Security Interest and charge in favor of the Pledgee in the Collateral, under the UCC.  The taking possession by the Pledgee of the certificates representing the Equity Interests will perfect and establish the first priority of the Pledgee’s Security Interest in the Equity Interests.  The filing of appropriate financing statements (and continuation statements, if applicable) with the applicable Secretary of State with respect to the Company Assets will perfect and establish the first priority of the Pledgee’s security interest in the Company Assets, to the extent Pledgor has or may acquire rights in such Company Assets.  Except as set forth in this Section 6(e), no action is necessary to perfect or otherwise protect the Pledgee’s Security Interest in the Collateral.
 
(f)           Litigation.  There are no pending or, to Pledgor’s Knowledge, threatened actions or proceedings before any court, judicial body, administrative agency or arbitrator which may materially adversely affect the Collateral.
 
(g)           Power and Authority.  The Pledgor has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and any related documents, perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to pledge and assign the Collateral to the Pledgee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
(h)           Transfer Restrictions.  There are no provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Pledgor or Enertec Electronics, or any other documents or agreements, that impose any form of restriction on the transfer of the Equity Interests which have not otherwise been enforceably and legally waived by the necessary parties.

(k)           Principal Addresses; Legal or Other Names. The location of Pledgor’s chief executive office, offices, other locations of Collateral and locations where records with respect to Collateral are kept, are as set forth in Exhibit 3 and, except as set forth in such Schedule, such locations have not changed during the preceding twelve months.  As of the date hereof, during the prior five years, except as set forth in Exhibit 3, Pledgor has not been known as or conducted business under any other name (including trade names).
 
7.           Covenants.  The Pledgor hereby covenants that so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations which by their terms survive termination of the Purchase Agreement and the other Documents) or any Document is in effect, the Pledgor shall:

(c)           Defend Against Claims.  The Pledgor will, at its reasonable expense, defend the Pledgee’s right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any other party.
 
(d)           Additional Equity Interests.  Not consent to or approve the issuance to the Pledgor of (i) any additional shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of Enertec Electronics or (ii) any securities convertible either voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event or condition into, or any securities exchangeable for, shares of Enertec Electronics’ capital stock, unless, in either case, 100% of such shares and/or convertible securities are pledged as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)           Amendments.  Not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any of the Collateral or enter into any agreement or allow to exist any restriction with respect to any of the Collateral other than pursuant hereto, including any amendment that would (i) impair the Collateral or adversely affect in any respect the rights, privileges, benefits and security interests provided to or intended to be provided to the Pledgee, (ii) that in any way adversely affects the perfection of the Security Interest of the Pledgee in the Collateral, or (iii) be in conflict with any of the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

8.           Advances by the Pledgee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (after giving effect to all applicable notice and cure rights), the Pledgee may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, take all such action as it deems appropriate and in so doing may expend such sums as the Pledgee may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures which the Pledgee may make for the protection of the Collateral hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation of law.  All such sums and amounts so expended shall be reimbursed by the Pledgor promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefore and shall constitute additional Secured Obligations.  No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Pledgee on behalf of the Pledgor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Pledgor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or the other Documents.  The Pledgee may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by the Pledgor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.
 
9.           Events of Default.  An Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder.
 
10.         Remedies.
 
(a)           General Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Pledgee shall have, in respect of the Collateral, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Documents or by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law.  In addition, the Pledgee may exercise all corporate rights with respect to the Collateral including, without limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares of the Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it.
 
(b)           Transfer and Sale of Collateral.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, without limiting the generality of this Section and without notice, the Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Pledgee may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or for future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law.  To the extent permitted by law, the Pledgee may in such event bid for the purchase of such securities.  The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law and has not been waived by such Pledgor, any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Pledgor, in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale.  The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee may bid for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption.  All moneys received by the Pledgee hereunder, whether upon sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise, shall be held by the Pledgee and applied by it as provided in Section 15 hereof.  No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights hereunder.  The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon nor any duty as to preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, except to apply the funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 15 hereof.  The Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to property held hereunder without resort to other security for or sources of reimbursement for the Secured Obligations.  In addition to the foregoing, Pledgee shall have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a secured party under the UCC regardless of the jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought.

(c)           Private Sale.  The Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect (or to do so only after delay which would adversely affect the value that might be realized from the Collateral) or may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Company Assets or the Equity Interests constituting the Collateral and that the Pledgee may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Pledgee shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Pledgee may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.
 
(d)           Retention of Collateral.  Without limiting the application of, and Pledgee’s rights under Section 7(h) of this Agreement, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgee may, after providing the notices required by Section 9-620 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, retain all or any portion of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.  Unless and until the Pledgee shall have provided such notices, however, the Pledgee shall not be deemed to have retained the Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.
 
11.         Release of Collateral.  The Pledgee may release any of the Collateral from this Agreement or may substitute any of the Collateral for other Collateral without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect or Lien of this Agreement as to any Collateral not expressly released or substituted, and this Agreement shall continue as a first priority Lien on all Collateral not expressly released or substituted.

12.         Waiver of Marshaling.  The Pledgor hereby waives any right to compel any marshaling of any of the Collateral.
 
13.         No Waiver.  Any and all of the Pledgee’s rights with respect to the rights granted under this Agreement shall continue unimpaired, and the Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Pledgor, if any (b) the release or substitution of any item of the Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests therein, or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Pledgee in reference to any of the Secured Obligations.  The Pledgor hereby waives all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consents to be bound hereby as fully and effectively as if the Pledgor had expressly agreed thereto in advance.  No delay or extension of time by the Pledgee in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no failure by the Pledgee to give notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Pledgee’s right to take any action against Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
 
14.         Expenses.  The Collateral shall secure, and the Pledgor shall pay to the Pledgee on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, taxes, and all transfer, recording, filing and other charges) of, or incidental to, the custody, care, transfer, administration of the Collateral or any other collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of the Pledgee under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Secured Obligations.
 
15.         Rights of the Pledgee.
 
(a)           Power of Attorney.  The Pledgor hereby designates and appoints the Pledgee and each of its designees or agents as attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions, which power of attorney shall become effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
