Item 1.01. |

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 10, 2010, on May 4, 2010, Numerex Corp. (the Company) and its subsidiaries
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (the
Bank). On April 25, 2011, the Company, its subsidiaries and the Bank entered into an Amended
and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the Amended Loan Agreement) in order to, among other
things, extend the maturity date of the Loan Agreement and to increase the revolving line of credit
(the Credit Facility) from $5.0 million to $10.0 million. The Company may use the borrowings
under the Credit Facility for working capital and general business requirements.
The amount available to the Company under the Credit Facility at any given time is the lesser
of (a) $10.0 million or (b) the amount available under its borrowing base (two times Adjusted
EBITDA, measured on a 12 month trailing average, minus the principal amount of any Term Loan
Advances) minus (1) the dollar equivalent amount of all outstanding letters of credit plus an
amount equal to the letter of credit reserve amount (as set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement),
(2) 10% of each outstanding foreign exchange contract, (3) any amounts used for cash management
services, (4) the outstanding principal balance of any advances and (5) the outstanding principal
balance of any Term Loan Advances. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, if the principal outstanding
balance of any advance is equal or greater to $1 million for a period of time equal to or greater
than 90 days from the funding date, then the principal balance becomes a Term Loan Advance and
the Company must repay 5% of the original principal amount commencing on the first calendar day of
the quarter following the conversion of the advance to a Term Loan Advance and on the first day of
each fiscal quarter thereafter.
Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the maturity date of the Credit Facility has been extended
from May 4, 2013 to April 30, 2015. The Credit Facility also includes a sublimit of up to $2.0
million for letters of credit, cash management and foreign exchange services. The interest rate
applicable to amounts drawn from the Credit Facility is, at the Companys option, equal to either
(i) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Margin (as such terms are defined in the Amended Loan
Agreement) or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin (as defined in the Amended Loan
Agreement). The Credit Facility includes an annual fee of 0.375% of the average unused portion of
the credit facility.
The Credit Facility is secured by the Companys personal property, including its intellectual
property.
The Amended Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties regarding the
Company, and affirmative covenants, including financial covenants that require that the Company to
maintain: (i) consolidated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents with the Bank plus the available
amounts under the Credit Facility of at least $3.0 million; (ii) a Senior Leverage Ratio (as such
term is defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of not more than 2.0 to 1.0 and (iii) a fixed charge
coverage ratio, defined as a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA (as such term is defined in the Amended Loan
Agreement) less unfunded capital expenditures, cash dividends and cash taxes to the sum of interest
expenses plus scheduled payments of principal and interest on all indebtedness, including capital
lease for the consecutive four quarters, of at least 1.25 to 1.0.
Additionally, the Amended Loan Agreement includes certain negative covenants, subject to
customary exceptions and limitations, restricting or limiting the ability of the Company and its
subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Bank, to, among other things: convey, sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; change its business; experience a change in
control; merge or consolidate with any other entity; incur additional indebtedness; create liens on
the Companys property that is used as collateral for the credit facility; make certain investments
and acquisitions; pay dividends, distributions or make other specified restricted payments or
repurchases; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and make any payments on subordinated
debt.
The Amended Loan Agreement contains usual and customary events of default, subject to certain
threshold amounts and grace periods. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Company
may be required to immediately repay the obligations under the Credit Facility prior to its stated
maturity date and the bank may be able to foreclose on any collateral provided by the Company.
As of the date of the Amended Loan Agreement and as of the date of this Current Report, the
Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Credit Facility.
The foregoing summary of the Amended Loan Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Amended Loan Agreement, which will be attached as an exhibit to the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2011.
