STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

This Stock Issuance Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated August 31, 2010, by and between Charles Brand (the “Investor”) and EMRISE Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), whereby the parties agree as set forth herein.  Certain terms are defined in Section 9 of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Emrise Electronics Corporation (“EEC”) owes a debt obligation under a Subordinated Contingent Secured Promissory Note, dated August 20, 2008, as amended on November 20, 2009 and August 31, 2010 (the “Note”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the anticipated sale of the stock of EEC’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary Advanced Control Components, Inc. (the “Sale Transaction”), Investor has agreed to accept receipt of the shares of Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement as partial payment of the Note, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows.

1.             Issuance of Stock.

(a)           Issuance of Common Stock.  Investor agrees to accept and the Company agrees to issue to Investor that number of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), that equals the quotient of $450,000 divided by 115% of the Volume Weighted Average per share price for the day of the public announcement by Company of the Sale Transaction and the two trading days immediately thereafter; provided, however, no fractional shares shall be issued and in no event shall Company issue more than 19.9% of the currently outstanding number of shares of Common Stock.

(b)           Shares Closing.  The closing for the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Shares Closing”) shall take place on the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 4 shall be satisfied or duly waived, or if Company and Investor mutually agree on a different date, the date upon which they have mutually agreed (the “Shares Closing Date”).  At the Closing, Company shall deliver a certificate registered in the name of Investor representing the Shares, against delivery to Company by Investor of evidence of application of $450,000 toward the principal of the Note (the “Receipt”).

2.             Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Company.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to Investor as of the date hereof that:

(a)           Corporate Status.  Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly subsisting under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority under its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate”), and corporate bylaws, as amended, to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted.

1

(b)           Authorization.  Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of its obligations hereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance by Company of this Agreement and the issuance and delivery of the Shares have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Company.  Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business, properties or financial condition.  This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Company, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general principles of equity.

(c)           Valid Issuance.  The Shares, when issued, sold, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any preemptive rights, and will not be subject to restrictions on transfer except as provided by Sections 3(f) and 3(g).

(d)           Litigation.  As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or currently threatened against Company which questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of Company to enter into it or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings (as defined in Section 2(f), as of the date of this Agreement there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or currently threatened which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would materially adversely affect the business, properties, operations, or financial condition of Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as presently being conducted.

(e)           Compliance with Other Instruments.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Company and the consummation by Company of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with, or result in any violation of, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any provision of its Certificate or bylaws or of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or material contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of Company.  Company is not in violation of its Certificate or bylaws, or in default in the performance or observance of any material provision of any material instrument or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound.  No third party has any pre-emptive rights, or rights of first refusal or first opportunity or similar rights to purchase, or to offer to purchase, all or any part of the Shares.

(f)            Disclosure.  Investor acknowledges that all of the Company’s annual, quarterly and current reports that were required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) from January 1, 2009 through and including June 7, 2010 (the “SEC Filings”) are available at the Company’s website or the website of the SEC.  As of their respective dates, the SEC Filings (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, in the case of any SEC Filing, any statement or omission therein which has been corrected or otherwise disclosed or updated in a subsequent SEC Filing.  The audited consolidated financial statements of Company included or incorporated by reference in the Annual Report for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009 as filed on Form

2

10-K and the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in the Quarterly Report for the Quarter ended March 31, 2010 as filed on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (“GAAP”) and with each other, except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes and adjustments required by GAAP, and fairly and accurately present the financial position of Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations and statements of cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments, and recognizing that the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of Company’ operations for any other interim period or full fiscal year.

(g)           For purposes of this Agreement the term “Affiliate” means any individual or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, a party to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the direct or indirect ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of an entity, or the right to receive 50% or more of the profits or earnings of an entity, shall be deemed to constitute control.

3.             Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Investor.  Investor hereby represents and warrants to Company that:

(a)           Investor is an individual with full power, authority and competence to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform his obligations hereunder.  This Agreement constitutes Investor’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws effecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general or by general principles of equity.

(b)           Compliance with Other Instruments.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Investor and the consummation by Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with, or result in any violation of, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any provision of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or material contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of Investor.

(c)           Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The Shares will be acquired for Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same and will not effect any such transaction except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or pursuant to an exemption therefrom such as SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”).  Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

(d)           Investment Experience.  Investor acknowledges that he can bear the economic risk of his investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares.  Investor also represents he is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act.

3

(e)           Information Provided.  Investor has had full opportunity to ask any and all questions of the officers of Company and to examine certain documents of Company, including the SEC Filings.

(f)            Restricted Securities.  Investor understands that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and therefore are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws and that under such laws and applicable regulations, such Shares may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, Investor represents that he is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act.

(g)           Legend.  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following legend:  “The Securities evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.  The securities may not be sold or offered for sale or otherwise distributed except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement for the securities under the Act; (ii) in compliance with Rule 144; or (iii) after receipt of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Company that such registration or compliance is not required as to said sale, offer or distribution.”
