Accordingly, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revision to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Item 1.01.                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 5, 2014, Numerex Corp. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) in order to, among other things, establish a term loan (the “Term Loan”) of $25.0 million and a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Loan”, and together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”) of up to $5.0 million, and amend and restate the loan and security agreement currently in place with the Bank.

The Company used the proceeds of the Term Loan to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Omnilink Systems, Inc., (“Omnilink”), Numerex Merger Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, (“Sellers’ Representative”), solely in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative, and may use the proceeds of the Revolving Loan for working capital and general business requirements.

Under the Loan Agreement, the maturity date of the Credit Facility is May 5, 2019. The interest rate applicable to amounts drawn from the Credit Facility is, at the Company’s option, equal to either (i) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Margin (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement) or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The Credit Facility includes a quarterly fee of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan with respect to the applicable quarter based upon the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) for the subject quarter, up to 0.35% per annum.

The Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s personal property, including its intellectual property.

The 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 $5.0 million; (ii) a Leverage Ratio, commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2014, and as of the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, through and including the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2015, of not more than 3.0:1.0 (with step-downs thereafter), and (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) less unfunded capital expenditures, capitalized software development costs, and cash taxes to the sum of interest expenses plus scheduled payments of principal and interest on all indebtedness, including capital leases for the consecutive four quarters, of at least for each calendar quarter through and including the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2015, 1.10 to 1.0, and a step-up thereafter.

Additionally, the 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 Company’s 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 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.

The foregoing summary of the Loan Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
