Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IDSY”), PowerFleet US Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and the investors set forth on Schedule I, annexed thereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement. This Note, which is referred to as a “Note” in the Investment Agreement, is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Note:

(a) “Default Interest Event” has the meaning set forth in Section 4(a).

(b) “Event of Default” has the meaning set forth in Section 7(a).

(d) “Maturity Date” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.

(e) “Maximum Rate” has the meaning set forth in Section 4(b).

(f) “Net Proceeds” means, with respect to a Permitted Common Equity Financing, the difference of (x) the aggregate proceeds received by Parent in respect of such Permitted Common Equity Financing less (y) any out-of-pocket underwriting or placement agent fees or cash commissions paid to a registered broker-dealer acting as underwriter or placement agent and that is not an officer, director or Affiliate of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or any of their respective “associates” or “immediate family” members (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 and Rule 16a-1 of the Exchange Act), and that are documented and reasonably incurred by Parent in connection with such Permitted Common Equity Financing.

(g) “Parent Subsidiary” means each of the Parent’s Subsidiaries.

(h) “Permitted Common Equity Financing” means the issuance and/or sale of any Parent Common Stock (but not, either alone or together with, any securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Parent Common Stock), in each case, (i) to the extent permitted under the terms of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Parent Charter and (ii) if such issuance and/or sale occurs (measured by trade date (T+0), not settlement date) on or after October 1, 2020, that results in a mandatory prepayment obligation hereunder in excess of the minimum prepayment requirement set forth in Section 3(a) below.

(i) “Prepayment Premium” means, as of the date of determination, the amount, not less than zero, equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the Principal amount as of the date hereof less the amount of all accrued Interest up to such date.

2. Maturity. Unless this Note has been indefeasibly prepaid in full in accordance with the terms of Section 3 below, the entire outstanding Principal balance and all accrued but unpaid Interest thereon shall become fully due and payable on March 31, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”).

3. Prepayment; Payments.

(a) Parent may prepay, in whole or in part, the Principal amount, which prepayment must be accompanied by (x) in the event such prepayment occurs on or prior to September 30, 2020, the Prepayment Premium, if any, and (y) all accrued but unpaid Interest up to the date of prepayment, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Holder specifying the date and the amount of payment, which notice shall be irrevocable. Any such partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $[●]¹. Parent acknowledges and agrees that, in the event such prepayment occurs on or prior to September 30, 2020, the Prepayment Premium, if any, shall be paid regardless of whether a prepayment is made voluntarily or involuntarily, or before or after any acceleration of Parent’s obligations under this Note, and regardless of whether the payment is made in connection with an Event of Default, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of making funds available under this Note, and as a consequence of a reasonable calculation of Holder’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticability of determining actual damages resulting from such payment.

(b) On October 1, 2020, subject to the minimum prepayment requirement set forth in Section 3(a) above, there shall become due and payable, and Parent shall prepay the Principal amount and all accrued but unpaid Interest up to the date of prepayment in accordance with this Section 3, an amount equal to the difference, but not below zero, of (x) [●]² percent ([●]%) of the aggregate Net Proceeds of all Permitted Common Equity Financings, if any, consummated (determined by trade date (T+0), not settlement date) after the date hereof and on or prior to September 30, 2020 less (y) the aggregate amount of all prepayments theretofore indefeasibly paid to Holder in accordance with this Note.

² Insert 100% of the quotient, expressed as a percentage to the second decimal place, of the initial Principal amount / $5,000,000.

(c) There shall become due and payable, and Parent shall prepay the Principal amount and all accrued but unpaid Interest up to the date of prepayment in accordance with this Section 3, no later than two (2) Business Days following the date of receipt by Parent of the proceeds of each Permitted Common Equity Financing, if any, consummated (determined by trade date (T+0), not settlement date) on or after October 1, 2020, an amount equal to [●]³ percent ([●]%) of the Net Proceeds of such Permitted Common Equity Financing.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 3(c), if, after giving effect to (x) a mandatory prepayment under Section 3(c), and, (y) in each case, the corresponding Permitted Common Equity Financing, Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would have Cash and Cash Equivalents of less than $9,000,000, then such mandatory prepayment obligation under Section 3(c) shall be suspended solely to the extent that the prepayment would result in such Cash and Cash Equivalents being less than $9,000,000. Any mandatory prepayment, or portion thereof, that is suspended pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be paid, at any time and from time to time in whole or in part until indefeasibly paid in full, no later than two (2) Business Days following each date on which, and to the extent that, the Cash and Cash Equivalents of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole and after giving effect to such payment, would equal or exceed $9,000,000, in each case, without giving effect to the minimum prepayment requirement set forth in Section 3(a) above. Each reference to “$9,000,000” in this Section 3(d) shall mean such amount as measured in United States dollars as of 11:59 P.M. New York time on the date of determination (using the then most recent available exchange rates).

(e) Any and all payments made by Parent to Holder under this Note shall be credited first to enforcement or collection costs, if any, second, to the Prepayment Premium, if any, third to all accrued (through the date of prepayment) and unpaid Interest, and the remainder, if any, applied to the Principal balance. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by Parent to any Person pursuant to this Note, such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America. Amounts repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. All amounts payable by Parent hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim. Provisions contained in this Note for the making of payments and the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Investors to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Parent Charter.

4. Interest; Interest Rate.

(a) Interest on this Note shall accrue from and after the Original Issuance Date until the indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due under this Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate, with quarterly compounding beginning on October 3, 2020; provided, however, that if Holder shall default in payment of Principal or Interest or any other amount becoming due hereunder, whether at scheduled maturity, by mandatory prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, or if any other Event of Default has occurred (each, a “Default Interest Event”), then commencing on the date of the occurrence of such Default Interest Event, the Interest Rate shall increase to seventeen and one-half percent (17.5%) per annum, compounded quarterly. From and after the occurrence of any Default Interest Event or in the case of an Event of Default, until such Event of Default has been cured, all accrued and unpaid Interest shall be payable upon demand.

³ Insert 50% of the quotient, expressed as a percentage to the second decimal place, of the initial Principal amount / $5,000,000.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Holder intend for this Note to comply in all respects with all provisions of Law and not to violate, in any way, any legal limitations on interest charges. Accordingly, if, for any reason, Parent is required to pay, or has paid, Interest at a rate in excess of the highest rate of interest that may be charged by Holder or that Parent may legally contract to pay under applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”), then the applicable interest rate shall be deemed to be reduced, automatically and immediately, to the Maximum Rate, and such Interest payable hereunder shall be computed and paid at the Maximum Rate and the portion of all prior payments of Interest in excess of then applicable Maximum Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the outstanding principal of this Note and applied as partial prepayments.

5. [Intentionally omitted.]

6. Covenants. Parent hereby agrees that until this Note has been indefeasibly paid in full in accordance with the terms of Section 3, Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Parent Subsidiary to directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Holder:

(a) create, incur, assume, permit to exist, guarantee or otherwise become liable, directly or indirectly, with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money (whether or not forgivable), other than: (i) this Note and the other Amended and Restated Promissory Notes issued to the other Investors on the date hereof; (ii) incurrences of indebtedness prior to the date hereof by PowerFleet Israel Ltd.

The Note may be transferred or otherwise assigned only by surrender of this Note and issuance of a new Note in accordance with this Section 13, and neither this Note nor any interests therein may be sold, transferred or assigned to any Person except upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 13. If this Note is to be transferred or assigned, Holder shall surrender this Note to Parent, whereupon Parent will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d)), registered as Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d)) to Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred.

Upon receipt by Parent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by Holder to Parent in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, Parent shall execute and deliver to Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 13(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by Holder at the principal office of Parent, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 13(d) and in Principal amounts of at least $1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by Holder at the time of such surrender.

Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of Parent (or the performance thereof). Parent acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Parent therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any breach, and to seek to specifically enforce this Note without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

17. No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall affect any such power, right or privilege or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

18. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the Investment Agreement.

21. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Law of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would result in the application of the Law of any other jurisdiction.

22. Amendment and Restatement. This Note supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Original Note and does not constitute a payment, satisfaction or a novation of the Original Note.
