Item 5.  Other Events

     On March 28, 2003, Numerex Corp (“the Company”) and BellSouth Personal Communications, LLC (the successor in interest to BellSouth Wireless, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cingular Wireless, LLC (“Cingular”) entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased Cingular’s approximately 40% interest in Cellemetry LLC (“Cellemetry”), a joint venture between the Company and Cingular. As part of this transaction the Company also acquired from Cingular 625,000 shares of Numerex common stock, representing all of the shares of common stock acquired by Cingular upon conversion of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. As part of the transaction Cingular relinquished all board and officer positions held in Cellemetry.

     In consideration for Cingular’s 40% interest in Cellemetry and shares of Numerex common stock, the Company signed a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000). The Note bears interest at the rate of 8.00% per annum and is secured by a first priority lien on all of the assets and the stock or membership interests of the Company and its subsidiaries with the exception of Digilog, Inc. The Note is payable in installments as follows:

     
Payment Due Date   Installment

 
December 15, 2003   $1,500,000 plus accrued interest
March 31, 2004   $2,000,000 plus accrued interest
December 15, 2004   $1,500,000 plus accrued interest

     The Company may prepay the Note in minimum increments of $100,000 without premium or penalty. Under the terms of the Note, the Company is required to prepay the Note from the proceeds from asset sales, if any, in excess of $1,500,000.

     Both the Company and Cingular maintain licensing rights to make use of Cellemetry technology and intellectual property as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

     This summary of the Company’s purchase of Cingular’s interest in Cellemetry is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Security Agreement and Secured Promissory Note filed herewith as exhibits.

     On March 28, 2003, Digilog Inc. (“Digilog”), a subsidiary of the Company, obtained a $1,000,000 Line of Credit Agreement from Alethea Limited Partnership, a limited partnership affiliated with Stratton J. Nicolaides, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and members of his family. The Line of Credit will be available to the Company through Digilog for up to one-year. There are no restrictions on use of the Line of credit. Draws must be in minimum increments of $100,000 and bear interest at 10% per annum. The Line of Credit is secured by a first priority continuing security interest in all of Digilog’s assets and the

Nothing herein is intended to relieve Numerex from its obligations to make any and all payments under this Note when due hereunder. Numerex shall make all payments under the Note not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the day when due, in U.S. dollars, in same day funds, into an account indicated in writing not less than five days in advance by Holder. All amounts received shall be applied first, to any accrued interest and then to unpaid principal. All payments received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Cingular on the next following Business Day with interest payable for such additional day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day. For purposes of this Note, a "BUSINESS DAY" shall mean any day on which commercial banks located in Atlanta, Georgia, are required or permitted by law to be open for the purpose of conducting commercial banking business. In no event shall the amount or rate of interest due and payable under this Note exceed the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed by applicable law (including, without limitation, O.C.G.A. Section 7-4-18) and, in the event any such excess payment is made by Numerex or received by the Holder, such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal). It is the express intent hereof that Numerex not pay and the Holder not receive, directly or indirectly or in any manner, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid under applicable law. All interest (including all charges, fees or other amounts deemed to be interest) which is paid or charged under this Note shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, allocated and spread on a pro rata basis throughout the actual term of this Note. The occurrence of any one of the following events will constitute a default by Numerex hereunder (each, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT"): (i) Numerex fails to pay when due any amount payable under this Note; (ii) Numerex fails to perform or breaches in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in the Stock Purchase Agreement or this Note, which in the case of a covenant is not cured within twenty (20) days' written notice by Holder to Numerex of the same, (iii) Numerex is in default in any material respect under the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement); (iv) Numerex has a Change of Control, as such term is defined below; (v) either Numerex or any other Debtor (as such party is defined in the Security Agreement) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or an action is brought by Numerex or by any other Debtor seeking its dissolution or liquidation of its assets or seeking the appointment of a trustee, interim trustee, receiver or other custodian for any of its property, or Numerex or any other Debtor commences a voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; or (vi) an action is brought against Numerex or any other Debtor by a creditor seeing its dissolution or liquidation of any of its assets or an involuntary petition is filed under any bankruptcy statute against Numerex or such other Debtor, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is appointed to take possession, custody or control of all or substantially all of the properties of Numerex or any other Debtor, unless such petition or appointment is set aside or withdrawn or ceases to be in effect within ninety (90) days from the date of said filing or appointment or an order for relief shall be entered in any such action. For purposes of the foregoing Events of Default, "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, merger or other disposition, in one or a series of transactions, of more than fifty percent (50%) of all of the assets of Numerex to or with any third party, including "person" or "group" (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); or (b) any "person" or "group" described above shall become the "beneficial owner(s)" (as defined in said Rule 13d-3) of shares of stock of Numerex that, directly or indirectly, entitles the holder thereof to control more than fifty percent (50%) of all voting rights with respect to all shares of stock of Numerex; or (c) the approval by the stockholders of Numerex of, or consummation of, a merger, reorganization, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, restructuring or other business combination in which Numerex is not the surviving entity; or (d) any entity or person or two or more entities or persons acting in concert shall acquire beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of, or shall acquire by contract or otherwise, or shall have entered into a contract or arrangement that, upon consummation, will result in its or their acquisition of the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of Numerex, or the current Board of Directors of Numerex or their duly elected successors shall no longer constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. Upon the occurrence or during the continuation of an Event of Default, Holder shall have the right to (a) declare any and all amounts payable under the Note, including principal balance, all accrued interest thereon, attorneys' fees and all fees, charges, costs and expenses, to be forthwith due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable in full without demand, presentment, protest or further notice of any kind, (b) exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Security Agreement, and (c) exercise any and all other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, all remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or if any Installment Payment is not paid on the applicable date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount then outstanding under the Note at a rate of 10 % (ten percent) per annum (the "DEFAULT RATE"). Default Rate interest shall be due and payable upon demand by the Holder of the Note. The obligations under this Note are secured by a Security Agreement executed by Numerex in favor of the Holder dated of even date herewith, which Security Agreement grants the Holder a first priority security interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement). TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS NOTE. Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, notice of dishonor and notice of nonpayment and all other notices are hereby waived by Numerex. No failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of an Event of Default hereunder, acceptance of a past due Installment Payment, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a restatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Holder thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable law; and Numerex hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Numerex under this Note, either in whole or in part unless Holder otherwise agrees in writing. The rights and remedies provided for hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy available at law or in equity. All of Numerex' obligations under this Note are absolute and unconditional. Holder shall not be deemed to waive any of its rights unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder. No delay or omission by Holder in exercising any of its rights, including, but not limited to, the right to accelerate the indebtedness due under this Note, shall operate as a waiver of such rights and a waiver in writing on one occasion shall not be construed as a consent to or a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. Holder shall have no duty to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies provided or contemplated herein. This Note may not be changed, modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Numerex and Holder. Numerex and the Holder, by accepting this Note, each agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon Numerex for the use of money in connection with this Note is and shall be the interest described in this Note, and further agree and stipulate that all other charges imposed by the Holder on Numerex pursuant to the terms of this Note, including without limitation, any default charges, late charges, and attorneys' fees, shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due. In the event that following the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default this Note, or any part thereof, is referred to an attorney for collection, whether or not suit has been filed or any other action instituted or taken to enforce or collect under this Note, or is collected by or through an attorney at law, Numerex agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses of such referral or collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees. This Note shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Numerex, if assigned in compliance with the provisions of this Note. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Holder of this Note may assign or transfer this Note, but this Note shall not be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, by Numerex without the prior written consent of the Holder. The provisions of this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. NUMEREX EXPRESS AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT UNDER, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO THIS NOTE SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE STATE OR DISTRICT COURTS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. NUMEREX, BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS NOTE, EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF ANY OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON ANY ALLEGED LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR BASIS.

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred, in no event shall any Debtor have a right to sell, transfer, assign, convey or otherwise dispose of (a "SALE") any of the Collateral owned or leased by it without prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent could not be unreasonably withheld.

Numerex agrees to reimburse the Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to Debtors or any other person to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as a waiver or cure of any Event of Default. 9.

WHEREAS, the Debtor seeks to establish a line of credit with the Lender, and the Lender desires to extend funds to the Debtor through a line of credit, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows. Section 1. The Line of Credit and the Note. A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender hereby offers, and the Debtor hereby accepts, a line of credit for the Debtor (the "Line of Credit"), pursuant to which the Debtor may borrow up to an aggregate of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Credit Limit") during the Term thereof (as defined below). Advances under the Line of Credit shall be made by the Lender in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, and the repayment obligations incurred by such advances shall be represented by the term promissory note, dated as of the date hereof, issued by the Debtor to the Lender in the form of Exhibit A hereto in the original principal amount of up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Note"). B. Advances and Repayments. ------------------------ (i) ADVANCES. At any time commencing on the date hereof and throughout the Term (as defined in Section 1(C) below), the Debtor may request advances to be made to it under the Line of Credit by sending written notice to the Lender at its address appearing in the "Notices" section hereof, indicating the total amount of funds sought in such advance (each such request, a "Draw"). The minimum amount in any Draw requested by the Debtor shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Within three Business Days of its receipt of such notice from the Debtor, the Lender shall advance to the Debtor an amount equal to the requested Draw. Simultaneously with advancing such funds to the Debtor, the Lender shall have the right to notate on the SCHEDULE A attached to the Note, the amount of money advanced by it pursuant to such Draw, together with the sum total of all advances made by the Lender under the Line of Credit through such date. In the absence of manifest error, the Schedule attached to the Note shall be deemed a conclusive accounting of the sums advanced to the Debtor. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Business Day" shall mean any day on which commercial banks located in Florida are required or permitted by law to be open for the purpose of conducting commercial banking business. (ii) Repayments. The Debtor shall have the right at any time during the Term to repay any or all of the principal amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit, provided that the minimum amount of any repayment shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and that such repayment is accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other amounts (if any) incurred in connection therewith through the date of repayment. There shall be no penalty or premium assessed with respect to any repayment of principal prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below). The Debtor shall give notice of any repayment to the Lender at least three Business Days in advance of such repayment, indicating therein the total amount being repaid and the anticipated repayment date. On such repayment date, the Debtor shall repay to the account of the Lender the total amount being repaid. Upon its receipt of a repayment, the Lender shall have the right to notate on the Schedule A attached to the Note, the amount of money so repaid, together with the sum total of all repayments made through such date. In the absence of manifest error, the Schedule attached to the Note shall be deemed a conclusive accounting of the sums repaid by the Debtor. C. The Term. The Debtor may request Draws under the Line of Credit, in amounts up to the Credit Limit, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and through the first anniversary of the date hereof (the "Maturity Date", and the period extending from date hereof through the Maturity Date, the "Term" of the Line of Credit). Unless earlier accelerated in accordance with Section 4(A)(i) hereof, on the Maturity Date, all outstanding advances made hereunder, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts (if any) incurred in connection therewith, shall be due and payable in full to the Lender. D. The Guarantee. The prompt payment and performance of all of the obligations of the Debtor under the Line of Credit and the Note shall be guaranteed by Numerex Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation and the parent corporation of the Debtor ("Numerex") pursuant to the terms of a Guarantee in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the "Guarantee"), to be executed and delivered simultaneously herewith. E. Security for the Obligations. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, the Debtor and Numerex shall execute and deliver to the Lender a security and pledge agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the "Security and Pledge Agreement"). Pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Debtor and Numerex shall provide the collateral described therein as security for the obligations to the Lender under the Line of Credit and the Note. Section 2. Other Terms and Conditions of the Line of Credit. A. Interest. (i) Interest Rate. Subject to subsection (iii) below, from the date hereof through and including the Maturity Date, interest shall accrue on all outstanding Draws advanced under the Line of Credit from time to time at a fixed rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the "Interest Rate"). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. (ii) Monthly Interest. Interest accrued hereunder shall be payable by the Debtor to the Lender in cash monthly in arrears, for each month or portion thereof during which balances were outstanding hereunder. Interest shall be due and payable on the first day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (with interest accrued through such date). The Lender shall have the right but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to waive receipt of its monthly interest payment due hereunder by written notice thereof to the Debtor. In such an occurrence, with no Event of Default hereunder, interest payable to the Lender for that month shall be capitalized, and interest shall thereafter accrue thereon at the Interest Rate through the Maturity Date, at which time such deferred payment plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable. Interest accruing on such deferred payment shall be combined with, and payable on the same date as, all other monthly interest payable to the Lender hereunder. (iii) Default Interest Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4 below), additional interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance due under the Line of Credit at a rate equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month in excess of the Interest Rate. Interest accruing under this Section 2(A)(iii) shall be due and payable in cash upon demand by the Lender. (iv) Maximum Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable under the Line of Credit exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable thereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Debtor shall continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Lender is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable under the Line of Credit been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the date hereof as otherwise provided by the terms hereof. Thereafter, interest shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in this Section 2(A) unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by the Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that it could lawfully have received had the interest due under the Line of Credit been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2(A)(iv), a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that the Lender has received interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess to the outstanding principal balance due under the Note and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Debtor or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order. B. Fees. There shall be no commitment fee payable in connection with this Line of Credit, nor shall there be any unused facility fee payable in the event that less than all of the funds available under the Line of Credit are drawn. C. Use of Proceeds. The Debtor shall apply all advances received under the Line of Credit for general corporate purposes, and shall specifically be permitted to use any proceeds hereunder to pay dividends or make loans to its sole shareholder, at the Debtor's discretion. No proceeds shall be used to purchase or carry, or to reduce or retire or refinance any credit incurred to purchase or carry, any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. D. General Payment Terms. All amounts advanced under the Line of Credit, together with all accrued interest thereon and other amounts, if any, incurred thereunder or in connection therewith, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to such bank account as the Lender shall specify in writing to the Debtor. The Debtor shall make payments under the Line of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Maturity Date or such earlier repayment date, as applicable. All amounts received by the Lender shall be applied first, to any costs or expenses due to it pursuant to the terms hereof or in enforcement of its rights in respect hereof, second, to accrued interest, and third to unpaid principal. Failure to pay any balances outstanding under the Line of Credit promptly when due shall entitle the Lender to exercise any remedies specified herein, under the Guarantee, the Security and Pledge Agreement, the UCC (as defined hereinafter), or that may be otherwise available at law or in equity. (i) For purposes of this Agreement, "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Florida. Section 3. Affirmative Covenants.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean any of the following: (1) any 'person' or 'group' (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder) shall become the `beneficial owner(s)' (as defined in said Rule 13d-3) of shares of stock of the Debtor or of Numerex, either directly or indirectly, that entitle such holder to control more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Debtor or of Numerex; (2) approval by the stockholders of the Debtor or of Numerex, or the consummation of, any merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, recapitalization, restructuring or other business combination in which the Debtor or Numerex, as applicable, is not the surviving party; (3) the sale, assignment, lease or other disposition (whether in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtor or of Numerex; or (4) a majority of the board of directors of the Debtor or of Numerex incumbent as of the date hereof, or their duly elected successors, shall cease to be directors of the Debtor or of Numerex, respectively. Section 5. Remedies on Default A. Declaration of Default. Except as set forth in Sections 5(A)(i) below, an Event of Default shall exist under the Line of Credit and the remedies hereunder shall be triggered at such time as the Lender shall so declare in writing to the Debtor. (i) The Lender shall not be obligated to declare the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder with respect to the events described in Sections 4(A)(iii) and (iv) hereof, upon the occurrence of which an Event of Default shall exist hereunder immediately and automatically, without further notice, demand or action of any kind on behalf of any party. B. Available Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender may do any or all of the following: (i) the Lender shall have the right to declare all balances outstanding under the Note or arising hereunder, immediately due and payable in full, except that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described in Sections 4(A)(iii) and (iv), all such balances shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment or action of any kind by the Lender, all of which are hereby waived by the Debtor; (ii) the Lender shall have the right to seek satisfaction from Numerex of any of the Debtor's outstanding obligations pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee; (iii) the Lender shall have the right to exercise any or all of the remedies specified under the Security and Pledge Agreement; and (iv) the Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under law (including, without limitation, all remedies provided under the UCC) or in equity.

D. General. All of the Debtor's obligations hereunder and under the Note are absolute and unconditional. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

(iv) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, Numerex will deliver to the Secured Party all original certificates evidencing the Pledged Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers executed in blank or other instrument of assignment and transfer, on the face of each of which shall appear a restrictive legend indicating that such certificate is subject to the terms and conditions hereof; and at all times after the date hereof, immediately upon its receipt thereof, Numerex will deliver to the Secured Party, all further certificates, documents and other instruments evidencing any of the Pledged Shares (including Collateral obtained in substitution, exchange or liquidation thereof). (v) Numerex shall not vote any of the Pledged Shares to approve the issuance of any additional shares of capital stock of Digilog, or any options, warrants or rights therefor, or to approve any other measure conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement, the Guarantee, the Line of Credit Agreement or the Note. (vi) Numerex shall not attempt to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant any security interest in or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Shares to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (vii) Numerex shall furnish to the Secured Party a copy of any notices or communications received by it from Digilog as stockholder thereof. (viii) In the event that, during the term hereof, Digilog shall undertake a stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, combination, share exchange or any other transaction affecting the Pledged Shares, Numerex shall cause the Secured Party to receive, upon surrender of the certificates representing the original Pledged Shares, such securities, assets, rights or other consideration as a holder of the Pledged Shares would receive upon the consummation of such transaction pursuant to the terms thereof, and the Secured Party shall hold same as Collateral hereunder. (ix) Appropriate notation of the pledge of the Pledged Shares has been recorded on the stock ledger of Digilog. Numerex agrees that, unless and until an Event of Default shall occur under the Line of Credit Agreement, Digilog is entitled to declare and pay dividends or make distributions in respect of its shares, and Numerex shall have the right to retain such dividends or distributions and use the proceeds thereof as it shall deem appropriate, provided that the Secured Party shall retain a security interest in such dividends, distributions and proceeds. (x) All records and other information with respect to the Pledged Shares at any time heretofore or hereafter furnished by Numerex to the Secured Party is and will be true and correct as of the date furnished. (xii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the Secured Party, Numerex will forthwith, upon receipt, transmit and deliver to the Secured Party, for its benefit, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts, items, chattel paper and other instruments to writing for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Secured Party) which may be received by Numerex at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Pledged Shares. After such notice from the Secured Party, Numerex will hold all such items it may receive in express trust for the Secured Party until delivery is made to the Secured Party. (xiii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Numerex hereby waives the right to redeem any of the Pledged Shares and to object to any proposal by the Secured Party to retain any of the Pledged Shares in satisfaction of any of the Liabilities. (xiv) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Numerex hereby waives any right to obtain injunctive or other relief relative to the Secured Party's sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares. Numerex further agrees to execute such documents and instruments and do all other acts or things or cause such documents to be executed or things to be done, as the Secured Party may reasonably request in order to properly take and perfect the Secured Party's security interest or lien in any additional property or assets resulting from such disposition. Section 4. Covenants and Agreements Applicable to Insurance. If requested by the Secured Party, Digilog will keep any of the Digilog Assets insured against fire, damage, theft, business interruption and such other risks as the Secured Party may require. Such insurance will be in such amounts, with such companies, for such periods of time, and in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Secured Party. Any and all such insurance policies are to be made payable to the Secured Party in the event of loss, under a standard non-contributory "mortgages", "Secured Party's", or "secured party" clause and shall contain a breach of warranty provision acceptable to the Secured Party which shall establish the Secured Party's right to be paid the insurance proceeds irrespective of any action, inaction, breach of warranty or conditions, or negligence of Digilog or any other person or entity with respect to such policies. All such insurance policies shall contain such other provisions as the Secured Party may require in order to protect its interests in the Digilog Assets and to any payments to be made under such policies. All such policies shall provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days' written notice to the Secured Party prior to cancellation. Digilog hereby appoints the Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact, to file claims under any such insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable to Digilog thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies, which power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Secured Party shall have a security interest in any of the Digilog Assets pursuant to this Agreement. If Digilog shall fail to procure such insurance so requested or to pay any premium with respect thereto, then the Secured Party may, at its discretion, procure such insurance or pay such premium, and any costs so incurred by the Secured Party shall constitute a part of the Liabilities secured hereby. The Secured Party may apply the proceeds of any such insurance policy received by it to the payment of any Liabilities, whether due or not due, in such order of application as the Secured Party shall determine. Digilog shall promptly furnish the Secured Party with certificates or other evidence satisfactory to it indicating compliance with the foregoing insurance requirements. Section 5. Power of Attorney. Digilog agrees that, in order to protect the Secured Party's rights hereunder, Digilog hereby constitutes any officer or employee of the Secured Party as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution: A. to endorse or sign the name of Digilog upon any invoice, freight or express bill or bill of lading relating to any Digilog Assets covered hereby; B. to endorse or sign the name of Digilog upon drafts against account debtors assignments and verifications of accounts, and notices to account debtors; C. to endorse or sign the name of Digilog upon any and every remittance or instrument of payment, including checks, drafts, and money orders, and in whatever form received; D. to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Digilog's mail to an address designated by the Secured Party; E. to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Digilog; and F. to do and perform all other acts and things necessary, proper and requisite to carry out the intent of this Agreement. The power herein granted shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and may not be revoked by Digilog until all of the Liabilities have been paid in full, including all expenses payable. Section 6. Use of Collateral. Until an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Debtors may, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, at their own expense, sell, lease, furnish under contract of service, use, consume, administer, manage and otherwise deal with any of the respective Collateral owned by it in the ordinary course of business consistent with such Debtor's business practices. Section 7. Performance of the Debtors' Obligations. The Secured Party may from time to time, at its sole discretion, perform any agreement of either Debtor hereunder which such Debtor shall fail to perform and take any other action that the Secured Party deems necessary for the maintenance or preservation of any of the Collateral or its interest therein (including, without limitation, the discharge of taxes or liens of any kind against the Collateral), and each of the Debtors agrees to promptly reimburse the Secured Party, on demand, for all expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, together with interest thereon at the rate 18% per annum, or at the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date incurred until the date of reimbursement. Section 8. Events of Default. An "Event of Default" shall occur hereunder upon any breach of any provision of the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note, the Guarantee, this Agreement or any breach of any other obligation of either of the Debtors to the Secured Party. Section 9. Remedies Upon Default. If an Event of Default shall occur, then the Secured Party shall have the following rights and powers, any or all of which it may undertake or exercise without any notice to the Debtors: A. to enter the premises upon which any of the Digilog Assets are located through any Secured Party's employees, agents or representatives and, without legal process, take exclusive possession thereof and the records relating thereto; B. to require Digilog to assemble the Digilog Assets and the records relating thereto, upon the Secured Party's demand, at Digilog's expense, and make it available to the Secured Party at a place designated by it which is reasonably convenient for it and Digilog; C. to sell the Collateral at public or private sale and at any private sale as permitted by law. Such sale shall result in the sale, conveyance and disposition of all right, title, and interest of the applicable Debtor in all or any part of the Collateral which is the subject of such a disposition. The Secured Party is authorized as attorney-in-fact for each of the Debtors to sign and execute and bill of sale, transfer, conveyance, stock powers or other instrument in writing that may be necessary or desirable to effectuate any such disposition of the respective Collateral owned by it; D. to collect and retain, by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, distributions, interest, principal payments and other sums now or hereafter payable upon or on account of the Pledged Shares, whether payable in cash or in kind; E. to exercise all voting powers pertaining to any and all of the Pledged Shares (and give proxies and written consents in lieu of voting thereon) as the Secured Party, in its sole discretion, shall determine; F. to enter into any renewal, modification, extension, substitution, reorganization, deposit, merger or consolidation agreement or any agreement in any way relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith may deposit or surrender control of the Collateral thereunder, accept other property in exchange for such Collateral and do and perform such acts and things as it may deem proper, and any money or property received in exchange for such Collateral or otherwise may be either applied to indebtedness due under the Note or held by the Secured Party as Collateral pursuant to the provisions hereof in a non-interest bearing or cash collateral account; G. to make any compromise, settlement or release the Secured Party deems desirable or proper with reference to the Collateral; H. to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; I. to cause the Collateral to be transferred to its name or to the name of its nominee; J. to exercise as to such Collateral all of the rights, powers and remedies of an owner; K. to perform any obligation of either of the Debtors hereunder; L. to seek satisfaction from Numerex of any of the outstanding Liabilities pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee; and M. to exercise all other rights of a secured party under the UCC (as defined below) and all other rights under law and at equity, all of which shall be cumulative. Section 10. Notice of Intended Disposition. If any notification of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, reasonable notification shall be deemed given if written notice is deposited in the U.S. Mail, first class or certified postage prepaid, addressed to the applicable Debtor and such other persons or entities as the Secured Party deems to be appropriate, stating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or disposition is to be made, at least five (5) days prior thereto. Section 11. Proceeds of Disposition. A. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order: (i) first, to pay all costs and expenses associated with the retaking, holding, preparation and disposition of the Collateral on behalf of the Secured Party; (ii) then, to pay attorneys' fees and any other applicable costs or expenses owed by either of the Debtors to the Secured Party under this Agreement, the Guarantee, the Line of Credit Agreement or under the Note; (iii) next, to pay all accrued but unpaid interest accrued upon the Liabilities in such order as the Secured Party may determine at its discretion; and (iv) finally, to all unpaid principal outstanding under the Liabilities, whether or not due and payable, in such order as the Secured Party may determine at its sole discretion. Any remaining surplus shall be paid to the applicable Debtor or otherwise in accordance with law. If the proceeds of such disposition are insufficient to pay the Liabilities in full, Digilog, Numerex and all other persons or entities liable thereon shall remain fully obligated to the Secured Party for the unpaid balance thereof. Section 12. Security Interest Absolute. This Agreement and the lien, security interest and security title conveyed hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, terminated, modified or otherwise affected by any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation any of the following (whether or not the Debtors consent thereto or have notice thereof): A. any change in or waiver of the time, place or manner of payment, or any other term, of the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note or the Guarantee or any waiver of or any renewal, extension, increase, amendment or modification of or addition or supplement to or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note or the Guarantee or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or any assignment or transfer of the any rights or obligations under Line of Credit Agreement, the Note or the Guarantee; B. any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other like proceeding or occurrence relating to the Secured Party or either Debtor; C. any failure of the Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy against any person or entity other than Debtors; D. any other act or failure to act by the Secured Party which may adversely affect either Debtor; or E. any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense against, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Debtors' liability under this Agreement, the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note or the Guarantee, or the Secured Party's lien, security interest or security title hereunder. Section 13. Miscellaneous. A. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as either of the Debtors reasonably requests in writing, but failure of the Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of the Secured Party to preserve or protect any rights with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so requested by the Debtors, shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral. B. No delay or failure on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or other instruments or agreements executed in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the Liabilities shall impair any such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude the further exercise of such right, power or privilege, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be valid against the Secured Party unless made in writing and signed by it, and then only to the extent expressly specified therein. All remedies provided herein or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Liabilities and all remedies otherwise afforded to the Secured Party by law or at equity shall be cumulative and shall be available to the Secured Party, from time to time, until all the Liabilities has been fully satisfied. C. Each of the Debtors waives all notices of acceptance, presentment, protest, acceleration and of dishonor or non-payment. Each of the Debtors further waives any right that it may have, by statute or otherwise, to require that the Secured Party seek recourse first against any other person or entity prior to enforcing the Secured Party's lien, security interest and security title under this Agreement. Each of the Debtors further consents and agrees that, without notice to or consent by the Debtor and without affecting or impairing this Agreement and the lien, security interest and security title granted hereunder, the Secured Party may compromise or settle, or may waive, amend or supplement in any manner the provisions of the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note, the Guarantee or any other document, instrument or agreement relating thereto (other than this Agreement). Each of the Debtors expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity or contribution and any other claim which it may now or hereafter have against any other person or entity arising from the existence, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or by or against the Debtors or with respect to any of the Collateral. D. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one agreement. E. This Agreement shall in all respects be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of Florida, without regard to the conflicts of laws principal thereof. F. The captions of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof or used in construing the intent of the parties. G.

H. If any part of any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, said part shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity only, without in any way effecting the remaining parts of said provision or the remaining provisions. I. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the party to be bound. J. All representations made by the Debtors in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note and the Guarantee and any and all other agreements, documents and writings relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing or any of the Liabilities.

EX-99.7 9 g81962exv99w7.txt EX-99.7 GUARANTEE DATED 3/28/03 Exhibit 99.7 GUARANTEE In consideration of, and in order to induce Alethea Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Lender") to enter into the Line of Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Line of Credit Agreement") with Digilog, Inc. ("Digilog") and Numerex Corp. ("Guarantor"), and to advance monies to Digilog in accordance with the terms thereof, the Guarantor, being the parent of Digilog, guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance of all of the obligations of Digilog to the Lender, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising (the "Obligations"), which are incurred by Digilog pursuant to (a) the Line of Credit Agreement, (b) the Term Promissory Note dated as of the date hereof and issued by Digilog to the Lender pursuant to the Line of Credit Agreement (the "Note"), and (c) the Security and Pledge Agreement dated of the date hereof, among Digilog, the Guarantor and the Lender (the "Security and Pledge Agreement"), or otherwise. This Guarantee is one of payment and not of collectability. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be unlimited and shall continue, regardless of the payment, reduction, creation, or any change in the amount of Obligations, and this Guarantee shall not be terminated by the absence, from time to time, of indebtedness under the Line of Credit Agreement or the Note being guaranteed hereby, but shall apply equally to all new indebtedness thereafter created under the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note or the Security and Pledge Agreement. The Guarantor waives presentment, protest, notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, notice of any advances made, extensions granted, or other action taken in reliance hereon and all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guarantee or the Obligations hereby guaranteed; assents to any renewal, extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral, and/or to the addition or release of any other person primarily or secondarily liable; and it agrees to the provisions of the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note and/or other paper evidencing the Obligations hereby guaranteed. The Guarantor waives any claim or other right now existing or hereafter acquired against Digilog, or any other party, that arises from the performance of Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee, including, without limitation, any right of reimbursement, recourse, subrogation, indemnity, exoneration, as well as any rights or remedies relating to any collateral security which the lender now has or hereafter may acquire under the Security and Pledge Agreement or otherwise. It is agreed that the Lender may, upon any breach or default of Digilog under the Line of Credit Agreement, the Note or the Security and Pledge Agreement, or at any time thereafter, make demand upon the Guarantor, and receive payment and performance of the Obligations, with or without notice or demand for payment or performance on Digilog. This Guarantee shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the successors and permitted assigns and/or other legal representatives of the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Lender and hold it harmless from and against all loss and expense, including legal fees, suffered or incurred by the Lender as a result of claims to compel the return of any payment received by the Lender from Digilog, or transfers for the Lender's account or collateral, with respect to the Obligations of Digilog guaranteed herein. The Obligations of Digilog guaranteed herein shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent the Lender is compelled to return any payment by or on behalf of Digilog, and the Guarantor agrees to remain liable for such Obligations even though this Guarantee may have been terminated and/or the agreements evidencing the debt canceled, together with all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Guarantee. The Guarantor agrees to pay all of the Lender's costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Guarantee. This Guarantee binds the undersigned by the sole fact, that it bears the undersigned's signature. This Guarantee can be altered only by a document or letter signed by the duly authorized representatives of each of the Lender and the Guarantor. The Guarantor waives all rights to invoke any condition, promise, or representation made by anyone which might have the effect of invalidating this Guarantee or of limiting its interests. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between the Lender and the Guarantor shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege. The Obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect until the payment, observance and performance in full of the Obligations. This Guarantee and the rights and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules. This Guarantee may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original.

(Nasdaq: NMRX) today announced the purchase of Cingular's 40% interest in Cellemetry LLC, a joint venture formed in 1998, and the 625,000 shares of Numerex common stock owned by Cingular for $5 million. The Company issued a secured note for $5 million payable through December 15, 2004 in three payments beginning in December 15, 2003 with interest accruing at 8%. The transaction gives Numerex full ownership of Cellemetry LLC and its subsidiary, Uplink Security Inc., while simultaneously reducing Numerex's shares outstanding by 5.5%. "The Cingular transaction clearly underscores our belief in the future of our wireless data business and the viability of our recurring revenue financial model," said Stratton Nicolaides, chairman and CEO of Numerex. "We have set our strategic course with a clear-cut mission of growing our wireless telemetry business with a focus on our direct market drivers, such as Uplink(SM) Security and MobileGuardian(TM). We believe that our end-to-end wireless solutions combined with the network connections added by our value- added resellers and strategic partners, provides Numerex an optimal path to bring real value back into the Company's stock, despite the difficult economic environment. Cingular has been supportive and constructive throughout this several-month negotiating process, and we look forward to continuing our long- standing relationship." The Company is currently seeking to raise capital sufficient to meet its obligations, both for general operational purposes and to meet the agreed upon payment schedule contained in the Cingular transaction. Numerex has secured a line of credit from Alethea Limited Partnership, a company affiliated with its chairman and CEO, Stratton Nicolaides. Alethea has agreed to extend a $1 million line of credit for a period of one year, primarily to be used for working capital purposes at a fixed rate of 10% with no commitments fees, and secured by a pledge of the stock and assets of Digilog, Inc., a Numerex wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company believes that this line of credit should provide it with sufficient liquidity to fund its operations through the balance of the year. The Company also announced that it has retained investment-banking firm Jefferies & Company, Inc. as its financial advisor to assist the Board of Directors in reviewing a range of potential financial and strategic alternatives, including capital raising as well as potential divestitures of non-core assets. The divestiture of these non-core assets are expected to generate additional capital that can be used for both working capital and general corporate purposes, including meeting its debt obligations to Cingular. Of course, there are no assurances that an asset sale will occur or that if a sale occurs it will generate proceeds sufficient to meet its debt obligations.
