ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. (1) CHANGES TO EXISTING CREDIT FACILITY THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2006 BY AND BETWEEN EMRISE CORPORATION AND WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. On September 19, 2006, Emrise Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement entered into as of September 1, 2006 with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides for the waiver by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. of certain violations of financial covenants in the Company's existing credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Amendment also provides for the reduction in the amount of the credit facility from $9.0 million to $1.5 million and limits borrowings to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Under the Amendment, the Company also remade all representations and warranties, and reaffirmed all covenants, under the initial documents for the credit facility. The Company's credit facility, including the materials terms and conditions thereof, as initially in effect, is described below. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE DATED SEPTEMBER 1, 2006 IN FAVOR OF WELLS FARGO BANK On September 19, 2006, the Company executed a Revolving Line of Credit Note dated September 1, 2006 in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Note"). The Note is substantially the same as the note initially executed in connection with the Company's credit facility, except that the Note is in the amount of $1.5 million, whereas the initial note was in the amount of $9.0 million, and the maturity date of the Note is October 1, 2006, whereas the initial note matured on September 1, 2006. (2) INITIAL TERM AND CONDITIONS OF CREDIT FACILITY On August 25, 2005, the Company, together with two subsidiaries, CXR Telcom Corporation and Emrise Electronics Corporation, acting as guarantors, obtained a credit facility from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. for the Company's domestic operations. As guarantors, each of CXR Telcom Corporation and Emrise Electronics Corporation is jointly and severally liable with the Company for up to $9,000,000. This facility is to be effective through September 1, 2006 and replaced the previous credit facility the Company had with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The previous facility was to expire July 1, 2005, but was informally extended for two months. The new credit facility is subject to an unused commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly based on the average daily unused amount of the line of credit described in the following paragraph. The credit facility provides a $9,000,000 revolving line of credit secured by accounts receivable, other rights to payment and general intangibles, inventories and equipment. However, borrowings may not exceed $2,000,000 until the bank has completed a collateral examination. Borrowings do not need to be supported by specific receivables or inventory balances unless aggregate borrowings under the line of credit exceed $2,000,000 at any time (a "conversion event"). If a conversion event occurs, the line of credit will convert into a formula-based line of credit until the borrowings are equal to or less than $2,000,000. The formula generally provides that outstanding borrowings under the line of credit may not exceed an aggregate of 80% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 30% of the value of eligible finished goods inventory. The interest rate is variable and is adjusted monthly based on the prime rate. The prime rate at August 29, 2005 was 6.50%. Interest is payable monthly commencing October 1, 2005. The outstanding principal balance will be due September 1, 2006. -2- The credit facility is subject to various financial covenants. The minimum debt service coverage ratio of the Company must be not less than 1.25:1.00 on a rolling four-quarter basis. "Debt service coverage ratio" is defined as net profit after taxes plus depreciation, plus or minus net distributions divided by the sum of the current portion of long term debt plus capitalized lease payments. The current ratio of the Company must be not less than 1.50:1.00, determined as of each fiscal quarter end. "Current ratio" is defined as total current assets divided by total current liabilities. Net profit after taxes of the Company must be not less than $500,000, determined as of each fiscal quarter end on a rolling four quarter basis; provided that the Company may not sustain net loss after tax in any two consecutive fiscal quarters. Total liabilities divided by tangible net worth of the Company must not at any time be greater than 1.25:1.00, determined as of each fiscal quarter end. Tangible net worth of the Company must not at any time be less than $14,250,000 measured at the end of each quarter. "Total liabilities" is defined as current liabilities plus non-current liabilities, minus subordinated debt. "Tangible net worth" is defined as stockholders' equity plus subordinated debt, minus intangible assets. In the event of a default and continuation of a default, Wells Fargo may accelerate the payment of the principal balance requiring the Company to pay the entire indebtedness outstanding on that date. From and after the maturity date of the note, or any earlier date that all principal owing under the note becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance will bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum equal to 4% above the rate of interest in effect from time to time under the note. Events of default that would give rise to automatic acceleration of payment of the principal balance and an increase in annual interest rate on unpaid principal balance include: o A failure to pay principal, interest or fees; o Any financial statement or certificate furnished to Wells Fargo is incorrect, false or misleading; o Inaccuracy of representations and warranties; o Breach of covenant (other than those described in the preceding bullet points, and subject to a 20-day cure period if curable); o Default under any other contract or instrument by which the Company or a guarantor have incurred any debt or other liability to any person or entity, including Wells Fargo; o The filing of a notice of judgment lien against the Company or any guarantor; or the recording of any abstract of judgment against the Company or any guarantor in any county in which the Company or any guarantor has an interest in real property; or the service of notice of levy and/or write of attachment or execution against the assets of the Company or any guarantor; or the entry of a judgment against the Company or any guarantor; o The Company or a guarantor shall become insolvent, have a receiver appointed, or generally fail to pay its debts as they become due, or make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; -3- o Filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or filing an answer in an involuntary petition in bankruptcy admitting the jurisdiction of the court, or being adjudicated bankrupt; o Wells Fargo in good faith believes a condition or event impairs, or is substantially likely to impair performance or payment by the Company; o Death, incapacity, dissolution or liquidation of borrower or any guarantor; and o Any change in ownership of an aggregate of 25% or more of the common stock of the Company. ITEM 1.02 TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT On September 19, 2006, the Company entered into the Amendment and executed the Note and thereby terminated the initial note entered into by the Company in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in connection with the credit facility. The disclosures contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated herein by this reference. ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT. The disclosures contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated herein by this reference. ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS. The Company is in the process of negotiating a new credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit. The Company believes that the new credit facility, which is expected to be a 3-year credit facility and provide at least $5 million of revolving credit, will be sufficient to meet its domestic financing needs. The Company believes that the new credit facility will provide for a higher advance rate on both receivables and inventories than its current Wells Fargo Bank credit facility and will provide the Company with greater flexibility and financing for domestic acquisitions when complemented with financing support through the Company's foreign credit sources in Europe. The Company cannot, however, provide any assurances that it will be successful in negotiating or entering into a new credit facility. ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

RECITALS WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of September 1, 2005, as amended from time to time ("Credit Agreement"); WHEREAS, as evidenced by Borrower's financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2006, Borrower has violated Section 4.9(d) and Section 4.9(e) of the Credit Agreement (the "Existing Violations"); WHEREAS, the Line of Credit matures September 1, 2006; WHEREAS, Borrower has requested a short-term extension of the maturity date of the Line of Credit during which time Borrower intends to seek alternative financing; WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Bank waive the Existing Violations; WHEREAS, Bank is willing to waive the Existing Violations and grant Borrower a short-term extension of the Line of Credit, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows: 1. Section 1.1. is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, to read as follows: "SECTION 1.1. LINE OF CREDIT. (a) LINE OF CREDIT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including October 1, 2006, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) ("Line of Credit"), the proceeds of which shall be used to finance Borrower's working capital requirements and the working capital requirements of two of Borrower's subsidiaries, RO Associates, Incorporated and CXR Larus Corporation. Borrower's obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of September 1, 2006 ("Line of Credit Note"), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. (b) LIMITATION ON BORROWINGS. Outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set -1- forth above, shall not at any time exceed an aggregate of eighty percent (80%) of the eligible accounts receivable of Borrower, RO Associates, Incorporated and CXR Larus Corporation (collectively, the "Borrowing Base Parties"). All of the foregoing shall be determined by Bank upon receipt and review of all collateral reports required hereunder and such other documents and collateral information as Bank may from time to time require. Borrower acknowledges that said borrowing base was established by Bank with the understanding that, among other items, the aggregate of all returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances for the immediately preceding three (3) months at all times shall be less than five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base Parties' gross sales for said period. If such dilution of the Borrowing Base Parties' accounts for the immediately preceding three (3) months at any time exceeds five percent (5%) of the Borrowing Base Parties' gross sales for said period, or if there at any time exists any other matters, events, conditions or contingencies which Bank reasonably believes may affect payment of any portion of any of the Borrowing Base Parties' accounts, Bank, in its sole discretion, may reduce the foregoing advance rate against eligible accounts receivable to a percentage appropriate to reflect such additional dilution and/or establish additional reserves against the Borrowing Base Parties' eligible accounts receivable. As used herein, "eligible accounts receivable" shall consist solely of trade accounts created in the ordinary course of a Borrowing Base Party's business, upon which such Borrowing Base Party's right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever, and in which Bank has a perfected security interest of first priority, and shall not include: (i) any account which is more than ninety-one (91) days past the date of invoice; (ii) that portion of any account for which there exists any right of setoff, defense or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary course of business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or counterclaim has been asserted; (iii) any account which represents an obligation of any state or municipal government or of the United States government or any political subdivision thereof (except accounts which represent obligations of the United States government and for which the assignment provisions of the Federal Assignment of Claims Act, as amended or recodified from time to time, have been complied with to Bank's satisfaction); (iv) any account which represents an obligation of an account debtor located in a foreign country; -2- (v) any account which arises from the sale or lease to or performance of services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee, affiliate, partner, member, parent or subsidiary of a Borrowing Base Party; (vi) that portion of any account, which represents interim or progress billings or retention rights on the part of the account debtor: (vii) any account which represents an obligation of any account debtor when twenty percent (20%) or more of a Borrowing Base Party's accounts from such account debtor are not eligible pursuant to (i) above; (viii) that portion of any account from an account debtor which represents the amount by which a Borrowing Base Party's total accounts from said account debtor exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of such Borrowing Base Party's total accounts; (ix) any account deemed ineligible by Bank when Bank, in its sole discretion, deems the creditworthiness or financial condition of the account debtor, or the industry in which the account debtor is engaged, to be unsatisfactory. (c) BORROWING AND REPAYMENT. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth above." 2. Section 1.5, is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor: "SECTION 1.5. GUARANTIES. The payment and performance of all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Bank shall be guaranteed jointly and severally by CXR Larus Corporation and Emrise Electronics Corporation in the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) each, as evidenced by and subject to the terms of guaranties in form and substance satisfactory to Bank." 3. Section 4.3(d) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, to read as follows: "(d) not later than 10 days after and as of the end of each month, a borrowing base certificate, an aged listing of accounts receivable and accounts payable, and a reconciliation of accounts, -3- and not later than 10 days after Bank's written request, a list of the names and addresses of all Borrower's account debtors;" 4. Bank hereby waives the Existing Violations. Such waiver by Bank shall not be deemed an agreement by Bank to waive any other violation which may occur under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including without limitation a subsequent violation of the provisions which are the subject of the Existing Violations. 5. Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without waiver or modification. All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document. 6. Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein. Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute any such Event of Default. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first written above.
