NOTE 1— BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Acorn Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are in thousands except for per share data.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 to conform to the current period’s condensed consolidated financial statement presentation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 2—RECENT AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). This update outlines a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance and requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has issued several updates to ASU 2014-09, which collectively with ASU 2014-09, represent the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 for all contracts using the modified retrospective method, which means the historical periods are presented under the previous revenue standards with the cumulative net income effect being adjusted through retained earnings. See Note 10.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases at the commencement date a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease measured on a discounted basis, and a right-to-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840) and Leases (Topic 842), which provides additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3—INVESTMENT IN DSIT SOLUTIONS, LTD. (“DSIT”)

On February 14, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company closed on a transaction (the “2018 DSIT Transaction”) initially entered into on January 18, 2018 for the sale of the Company’s remaining 41.15% interest in its DSIT Solutions Ltd. business to an Israeli investor group, and received gross proceeds of $5,800 before transaction costs, professional fees and withholding taxes. From the gross proceeds, the Company paid $388 of withholding taxes, paid or accrued $441 of transaction costs and recorded a loss of $829 as the carrying value of the Company’s investment in DSIT had previously been written down to the gross proceeds of the 2018 DSIT Transaction. From the proceeds, the Company also repaid $1,600 of amounts due to DSIT and $1,428 of loan principal and interest due to directors.

The Company’s share of DSIT’s net income for the period from January 1, 2018 to the Closing Date and the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 can be seen below:

GridSense’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are included in “Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Summarized financial information for GridSense’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are presented below:

NOTE 5— Loans from Directors AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

(a) Director Loans to Acorn

On February 16, 2017, the Company secured commitments for $1,900 in funding in the form of loans from members of the Company’s Board of Directors, of which $900 was immediately funded and an additional $400 was funded in the third quarter of 2017. On February 22, 2018, following the receipt of the proceeds from the 2018 DSIT Transaction (see Note 3), the Company repaid in full $1,300 of principal and $128 accrued interest due through that date with respect to these loans.

The Company accrued $21 and $13 of interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, with regard to these director loans.

(b) Director Investment and Loans to OmniMetrix Holdings

In 2015, one of the Company’s directors (the “Director”) acquired a 20% interest in the Company’s OmniMetrix Holdings, Inc. subsidiary (“Holdings”) through the purchase of $1,000 of OmniMetrix Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). Holdings is the holder of 100% of the membership interests OmniMetrix, LLC through which the Company operates its Power Generation and Cathodic Protection monitoring activities. The $1,000 investment by the director was recorded as an increase in non-controlling interests.

A dividend of 10% per annum accrued on the Preferred Stock. The dividend was payable on the first anniversary of the funding of the investment and quarterly thereafter for so long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding and has not been converted to Common Stock. Through December 31, 2016, a dividend payable of $115 was recorded with respect to the Preferred Stock. On December 31, 2016, the Director agreed to treat the $115 of accrued dividends and all subsequent accrued and unpaid dividends as a loan to Holdings which bears interest at 8% per year. In December 2016, the Director provided Holdings with an additional $50 loan under the same terms as the abovementioned accrued dividends.

Through March 31, 2018, a total of $241 of dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock and was added to the loan balance. Accrued interest on unpaid balances at March 31, 2018 was $22. All principal and interest were due on April 30, 2018. In May 2018, the Company entered into a payment arrangement with the Director. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events.

OmniMetrix owes Acorn approximately $3,480 for loans, accrued interest and expenses advanced to it by Acorn since its acquisition in 2012. Such amounts are eliminated in consolidation and will only be repaid to Acorn when OmniMetrix is generating sufficient cash to allow such repayment.

NOTE 6— RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

In 2013, OmniMetrix restructured its operations to better align expenses with revenues following a change in management. The restructuring involved employee severance and termination benefits as well as a charge for a significant reduction in the utilization of its leased facility in Buford and a write-down of a majority of the remaining book value of leasehold improvements associated with the leased facility. At December 31, 2017, $129 of lease payments associated with the reduced utilization of leased facilities remained unpaid. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, OmniMetrix paid $16 of this liability. The total remaining accrued restructuring balance of $113 is expected to be paid in full by December 31, 2019 and is included in Other current liabilities ($64) and Other liabilities ($49) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 7—SHORT-TERM CREDIT FACILITY

In October 2017, OmniMetrix renewed its Loan and Security Agreement providing OmniMetrix with access to accounts receivable formula-based financing of the lesser of 75% of eligible receivables or $1,000. Debt incurred under this financing arrangement bears interest at the greater of prime (4.75% at March 31, 2018) plus 2% or 6% per year. In addition, OmniMetrix is to pay a monthly service charge of 0.9% of the average aggregate principal amount outstanding for the prior month, for a current effective rate of interest on advances of 17.3%. OmniMetrix also agreed to continue to maintain a minimum loan balance of $150 in its line-of-credit with the lender for a minimum of one year beginning November 1, 2017.

OmniMetrix had an outstanding balance of $503 and $313 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. OmniMetrix’s availability under the Loan and Security agreement was $69 and $182 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 8—EQUITY

(a) Acorn Stock Options

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is as follows:

	Number of Options (in shares)			Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2017		1,401,489		$	3.45
Granted		60,000			0.23
Exercised		—
Forfeited or expired		(7,500	)	$	0.14

Exercisable at March 31, 2018		1,400,655		$	3.45		2.9 years	$	20

The options granted in 2018 were to directors (55,000) and a non-employee (5,000) with an exercise price of $0.23. The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate	2.3	%
Expected term of options	6.7 years
Expected annual volatility	85	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%

(b) Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Statements of Operations was $7 and $13 for the three month-periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

Each Director of the Company may elect by written notice delivered on or before the first day of each calendar year whether to receive, in lieu of some or all of his or her retainer and board fees, that number of shares of Company Common Stock as shall have a value equal to the applicable retainer and board fees, based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on its then-current trading platform or exchange on the last trading day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable year. Once made, the election shall be irrevocable for such election year and the shares subject to the election shall vest and be issued one-fourth upon the first day of the election year and one-fourth as of the first day of each of the second through fourth calendar quarters thereafter during the remainder of the election year. For the 2018 calendar year, Mr. Woolard elected to receive Common Stock in lieu of retainer and board fees of $17. Accordingly, Mr. Woolard was issued 18,479 shares of Common Stock in January 2018 for the first quarter of 2018, and 18,478 shares of Common Stock on April 2, 2018 for the second quarter of 2018. He is to receive an additional 18,478 shares on each of July 1 and October 1, 2018.

(d) Warrants

NOTE 9— SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company currently operates in two reportable operating segments, both of which are performed though the Company’s OmniMetrix subsidiary:

● The Power Generation (“PG”) segment provides wireless remote monitoring and control systems and services for critical assets as well as Internet of Things applications.

● The Cathodic Protection (“CP”) segment provides for remote monitoring of cathodic protection systems on gas pipelines for gas utilities and pipeline companies.

The following tables represent segmented data for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017:

NOTE 10—REVENUE

The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle, which includes: (1) identifying contracts with customers, (2) identifying performance obligations within those contracts, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract, which may include an estimate of variable consideration, and (5) recognizing revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied.

Sales of OmniMetrix monitoring systems include the sale of equipment (“HW”) and of monitoring services (“Monitoring”). Revenue (and related costs) associated with sale of equipment are recorded to deferred revenue (and deferred charges) upon shipment for PG and CP monitoring units. Revenue and related costs with respect to the sale of equipment are recognized over the estimated life of the units which are currently estimated to be three years (two years up to December 31, 2017). Revenues from the prepayment of monitoring fees (generally paid twelve months in advance) are initially recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt of payment from the customer and then amortized to revenue over the monitoring service period.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

	HW		Monitoring		Total

The Company pays its employees sales commissions for sales of HW and for first sales of monitoring services (not for renewals). In accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ( “ASC 606”), the Company capitalizes as a contract asset the sales commissions on these sales. Contract assets associated with HW are amortized over the estimated life of the units which are currently estimated to be three years (two years up to December 31, 2017). Contract assets associated with monitoring services are amortized over the expected monitoring life including renewals. The contract asset balance at December 31, 2017 of $152 has been recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings in adopting ASC 606 under the modified retrospective method.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s sales commissions contract assets for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018:

In the year ending March 31, 2021	$	83,000

OVERVIEW AND TREND INFORMATION

Acorn Energy, Inc. (“Acorn” or “the Company”) is a holding company focused on technology driven solutions for energy infrastructure asset management. We provide the following services and products through our OmniMetrix ^TM , LLC (“OmniMetrix”) subsidiary:

	●	Power Generation (“PG”) monitoring. OmniMetrix’s PG activities provide wireless remote monitoring and control systems and services for critical assets as well as Internet of Things applications.

	●	Cathodic Protection (“CP”) monitoring. OmniMetrix’s CP activities provide for remote monitoring of cathodic protection systems on gas pipelines for gas utilities and pipeline companies.

On January 18, 2018, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement for the sale of our remaining interest in DSIT to an Israeli investor group (the “2018 DSIT Transaction”). Following the closing of the transaction on February 14, 2018, we will no longer report DSIT’s results on the equity method.

Each of our PG and CP activities represents a reportable segment. The following analysis should be read together with the segment information provided in Note 9 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.

OmniMetrix

OmniMetrix LLC is a Georgia limited liability company based in Buford, Georgia that develops and markets wireless remote monitoring and control systems and services for multiple markets in the Internet of Things (“IoT) ecosystem: critical assets (including stand-by power generators, pumps, pumpjacks, light towers, turbines, compressors, as well as other industrial equipment) as well as cathodic protection for the pipeline industry (gas utilities and pipeline companies). Acorn owns 80% of OmniMetrix with one of Acorn’s directors owning the remaining 20%.

Following the emergence of machine-to-machine and IoT applications whereby companies aggregate multiple sensors and monitors into a simplified dashboard for customers, OmniMetrix believes it plays a key role in this new economic ecosystem and can expand that role in the years ahead. In addition, OmniMetrix sees a growing need for backup power infrastructure to secure critical military and government assets against emergency events including terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and cybersecurity threats. As residential and industrial standby generators, as well as turbines, compressors, pumps, engines and other industrial equipment that are part of the critical infrastructure, increasingly becoming monitored in IoT applications, and given that OmniMetrix monitors all major brands of critical equipment, OmniMetrix believes it is well-positioned to be a competitive participant in this market.

Sales of OmniMetrix monitoring systems include the sale of equipment and of monitoring services. Revenue (and related costs) associated with sale of equipment are recorded to deferred revenue (and deferred charges) upon shipment for PG and CP monitoring units. Revenue and related costs with respect to the sale of equipment are recognized over the estimated life of the units which are currently estimated to be three years (two years up to December 31, 2017). Revenues from the prepayment of monitoring fees (generally paid twelve months in advance) are initially recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt of payment from the customer and then amortized to revenue over the monitoring service period.

OmniMetrix has two divisions: PG and CP. In the first three months of 2018, OmniMetrix recognized $1,209,000 of revenue ($886,000 in PG activities and $323,000 in CP activities) as compared to $1,096,000 ($898,000 in PG activities and $198,000 in CP activities) recorded in the first three months of 2017, representing an increase in revenue of 10%. Revenue from monitoring revenue increased 18% from $542,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $642,000 in the first three months of 2018 while revenue recognized from the sale of hardware increased 2% from $554,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $567,000 in the first three months of 2018. The increase in revenue is driven by a significant increase in monitoring revenue resulting from the increased number of units being monitored. First quarter 2018 revenue increased 8% as compared to fourth quarter 2017’s revenue.

Gross profit of $745,000 for the first three months of 2018 reflected a gross margin of 62% on the period’s revenue. Such gross profit represents significant increase from first three months of 2017’s gross profit of $614,000 (gross margin of 56%). The increase in the gross profit compared to the first three months of 2017 was attributable to a combination of increased revenue as well as increased gross margins .

OmniMetrix’s gross margin on hardware revenue increased from 27% in the first quarter of 2017 to 37% in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in hardware gross margin was the result of increased PG hardware margins from 20% in the three-month period in 2017 to 32% in the three-month period in 2018. This increase was due to a change in the sales mix to higher-margin PG products. The margin on monitoring revenue decreased slightly from 86% in the first three months of 2017 to 83% in the first three months of 2018. The decline in the monitoring margin was due to a change in the product mix of products monitored.

During the first three months of 2018, OmniMetrix recorded $129,000 of R&D expense as compared to approximately $92,000 of R&D in the first three months of 2017. The increase is related to the continued development of next generation PG and CP monitors.

During the first three months of 2018, OmniMetrix recorded $671,000 of SG&A (“Selling, General and Administrative”) expense. Such costs reflect a decrease of $47,000 (7%) as compared to SG&A expense of $718,000 in the first quarter of 2017. First quarter 2018 SG&A expense was also slightly below fourth quarter 2017 SG&A expense of $687,000. We do not expect SG&A expense to materially change in the coming quarters.

Corporate

Corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expense of $313,000 in the first three months of 2018 reflected an increase of $172,000 from the $141,000 of expense reported in the first three months of 2017. First quarter 2017 G&A expense includes the $167,000 benefit recorded from a settlement reached with a professional service provider on an outstanding invoice. Excluding this one-time adjustment, G&A expense in the first quarter of 2018 was virtually unchanged from G&A expense in the first quarter of 2017. First quarter 2018 G&A expense was also slightly below fourth quarter 2017 G&A expense of $331,000. With the exception of the bonuses to be paid to our CEO and Executive Chairman of the Board (see Recent Developments) in recognition of their performance in the 2018 DSIT Transaction, which will be recorded in the second quarter of 2018, we believe our quarterly corporate G&A expense will not materially change.

On February 14, 2018, we closed on the 2018 DSIT Transaction initially entered into on January 18, 2018 for the sale of our remaining 41.15% interest in our DSIT Solutions Ltd. business to an Israeli investor group. At closing, we received gross proceeds of $5.8 million before transaction costs, professional fees and withholding taxes. From the gross proceeds, we paid $388,000 of withholding taxes, paid or accrued $441,000 of transaction costs and recorded a loss of $829,000 as the carrying value of our investment in DSIT had previously been written down to the gross proceeds of the 2018 DSIT Transaction. From the proceeds, we also repaid $1,600,000 of amounts due to DSIT and $1,428,000 of loan principal and interest due to directors.

On February 21, 2018, following the receipt of the proceeds from the 2018 DSIT Transaction, we repaid the entire $1.3 million borrowed from certain directors during 2017 along with accrued interest of $128,000.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, including the percentage of total revenues during each period attributable to selected components of the operations statement data and for the period-to-period percentage changes in such components. For segment data, see Note 9 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report.

Revenue. Revenue in the first three months of 2018 increased by $113,000, or 10%, from $1,096,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $1,209,000 in the first three months of 2018. OmniMetrix’s increased revenue was primarily attributable to increased monitoring which increased from $542,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $642,000 in the first three months of 2018. The increase in monitoring revenue resulted from an increase in the number of units being monitored.

Gross profit. Gross profit in the first three months of 2018 reflected an increase of $131,000 (21%) as compared to the first three months of 2017. OmniMetrix’s gross profit increased from $614,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $745,000 in the first three months of 2018. OmniMetrix’s increased gross profit was attributable to a combination of its increased revenue and increased gross margin from 56% in the first three months of 2017 to 62% in the first three months of 2018. The increased gross margin is due to a change in the sales mix to higher-margin products.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses. OmniMetrix’s R&D expense increased from $92,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $129,000 in the first three months of 2018 as it continues development of next-generation PG and CP monitors.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. SG&A expenses in the first three months of 2018 reflected an increase of $125,000 (15%) as compared to the first three months of 2017. OmniMetrix’s SG&A expense decreased from $718,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $671,000 in the first three months of 2018. Corporate expense increased from $141,000 in the first three months of 2017 to $313,000 in the first three months of 2018. The decrease at OmniMetrix was due to certain one-time marketing initiatives taken in 2017. The increase in corporate expense was due to a $167,000 benefit from a settlement reached with a professional service provider recorded in the first quarter of 2017. Excluding this one-time adjustment, corporate expense in the first quarter of 2018 was virtually unchanged from the first quarter of 2017.

Loss on sale of DSIT . In the first quarter of 2018, we closed on the sale of our remaining interests in DSIT Solutions Ltd., receiving gross proceeds of $5.8 million before transaction costs, professional fees and withholding taxes. We recorded a loss on the sale of $829,000 as the carrying value of our investment in DSIT had previously been written down to the gross proceeds of the 2018 DSIT Transaction.

Net loss attributable to Acorn Energy. We had a net loss attributable to Acorn shareholders of $1,222,000 in the first three months of 2018 compared to a net loss of $220,000 in the first three months of 2017. Our loss in 2018 is comprised of a loss at OmniMetrix of $85,000, corporate expense of $335,000 and the loss of $829,000 on the sale of our remaining interests in DSIT. These losses were partially offset by $27,000 representing the non-controlling interest share of our loss in OmniMetrix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2018 we had a negative working capital of $10,000. Our working capital includes approximately $2.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and deferred revenue of approximately $2.8 million. Such deferred revenue does not require significant cash outlay in order for the revenue to be recognized. Net cash increased during the three months ended March 31, 2018 by $1,940,000, of which $1,581,000 was used in operating activities, $4,971,000 was provided by investing activities and $1,450,000 was used in financing activities.

During the first three months of 2018, our OmniMetrix subsidiary used $175,000 in its operations while our corporate headquarters used $1,406,000 during the same period. Of the cash used in our corporate operating activities, $1,168,000 was used to pay off accumulated unpaid operating expenses that had been advanced in previous periods by DSIT.

Net cash of $4,971,000 was provided by investing activities from the sale of our remaining shares of DSIT.

Net cash of $1,450,000 was used in financing activities during the first three months of 2018. During the period, we repaid $1.3 million of director loans which were received in 2017 and we repaid our $340,000 loan from DSIT. These uses of cash were partially offset by the net proceeds of $190,000 by OmniMetrix under its Loan and Security Agreement (see below).

In October 2017, OmniMetrix renewed its Loan and Security Agreement with a lender providing OmniMetrix with access to accounts receivable formula-based financing of the lesser of 75% of eligible receivables or $1.0 million (an increase of $500,000 from the previous Loan and Security Agreement). Debt incurred under this financing arrangement bears interest at the greater of prime (4.75% at March 31, 2018) plus 2% or 6% per year. In addition, OmniMetrix is to pay a monthly service charge of 0.9% of the average aggregate principal amount outstanding for the prior month, for a current effective rate of interest on advances of 16.8%. OmniMetrix also agreed to maintain a minimum loan balance of $150,000 in its line-of-credit with the lender for a minimum of one year beginning November 1, 2017. At March 31, 2018, OmniMetrix’s loan balance under the Loan and Security Agreement was approximately $500,000 and it had additional availability of approximately $69,000. At May 8, 2018, OmniMetrix’s loan balance under the Loan and Security Agreement was approximately $160,000 and it had additional availability of approximately $500,000.

We have no assurance that this financing arrangement will provide sufficient liquidity for OmniMetrix’s working capital needs in 2018. Additional financing for OmniMetrix may be in the form of a bank line, a new loan or investment by others, a loan by Acorn, or a combination of the above. The availability and amount of any additional loans from us to OmniMetrix may be limited by the working capital needs of our corporate activities. Whether Acorn will have the resources necessary to provide funding, or whether alternative funds, such as third-party loans, will be available at the time and on terms acceptable to Acorn and OmniMetrix cannot be determined.

A dividend of 10% per annum accrued on the Preferred Stock. The dividend was payable on the first anniversary of the funding of the investment and quarterly thereafter for so long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding and has not been converted to Common Stock. Through December 31, 2016, a dividend payable of $115,000 was recorded with respect to the Preferred Stock. On December 31, 2016, the director agreed to treat the these accrued dividends and all subsequent accrued and unpaid dividends as a loan to Holdings which bears interest at 8% per year. In December 2016, the director provided Holdings with an additional $50,000 loan under the same terms as the abovementioned accrued dividends.

Through March 31, 2018, a total of $241,000 of dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock and was added to the loan balance. Accrued interest on unpaid balances at March 31, 2018 was $22,000. All principal and interest were due on April 30, 2018.

In the year ending March 31, 2019	$	140,000
In the year ending March 31, 2020	$	280,000
In the year ending March 31, 2021	$	83,000

In addition to the amounts owed to Mr. Woolard, OmniMetrix owes Acorn approximately $3.5 million for loans, accrued interest and expenses advanced to it by Acorn. Such amounts will only be repaid to Acorn when OmniMetrix is generating sufficient cash to allow such repayment.

We had approximately $2,370,000 of corporate cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2018, and approximately $1,950,000 on May 8, 2018. We believe that our current cash plus the cash expected to be generated from operations and borrowing from available lines of credit, if necessary, will provide sufficient liquidity to finance the operating activities of Acorn and the operations of its operating subsidiaries for at least the next 12 months.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, escrow deposits and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and escrow deposits were deposited primarily with U.S. banks and brokerage firms and amounted to approximately $2.4 million at March 31, 2018. The Company does not believe there is significant risk of non-performance by these counterparties. Approximately 55% of the accounts receivable at March 31, 2018 was due from two customers (42% and 13%) who pay their receivables over usual credit periods (the Company collected $441,000 of the $552,000 due from these two customers in April 2018). Credit risk with respect to the balance of trade receivables is generally diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are estimated to approximate their book values due to the short maturity of such investments.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, we employ a decentralized internal control methodology, coupled with management’s oversight, whereby each subsidiary is responsible for mitigating its risks to financial reporting by implementing and maintaining effective control policies and procedures and subsequently translating that respective risk mitigation up and through to the parent level and to our external financial statements. In addition, as our subsidiaries are not large enough to effectively mitigate certain risks by segregating incompatible duties, management must employ compensating mechanisms throughout our company in a manner that is feasible within the constraints it operates.

The material weaknesses management identified were caused by an insufficient complement of resources at our OmniMetrix subsidiary and limited IT system capabilities, such that individual control policies and procedures at certain subsidiaries could not be implemented, maintained, or remediated when and where necessary. As a result, a majority of the significant process areas management identified for our OmniMetrix subsidiary had one or more material weaknesses present.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

GRID NOTE

Buford, Georgia

December 31, 2016

WHEREAS, prior to the date of this Grid Note (this “Note”), Edgar Woolard (the “Holder”) has made an advance (the “Previous Advance”) to OmniMetrix LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“OmniMetrix”), and wholly owned subsidiary of OMX Holdings, Inc. (“OMX”, and together with OmniMetrix, the “Maker”) in the amount and on the date specifically set forth on Exhibit A annexed hereto, of which the principal amount $50,000 remains due and owing on the date hereof;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof the Maker is obligated to pay to the Holder $115,890 of accrued dividends (the “Accrued Dividends”) pursuant to the terms of the Maker’s Series A Preferred Stock held by the Holder;

WHEREAS, the Holder has agreed with the Maker that the Maker’s obligation to pay the Accrued Dividends shall be evidenced by this Note and subject to its terms;

WHEREAS, the Holder may advance additional monies (the “Additional Advances”) from time to time to the Maker, upon the terms and conditions herein contained; and

WHEREAS, the Holder May agree to have future Series A Preferred Stock dividends to which he becomes entitled evidenced by this Note (the “Subsequent Dividends” and together with Accrued Dividends, the Previous Advance and any Additional Advances, the “Advances”);

NOW THEREFORE, the Maker agrees as follows:

1. Principal and Interest Rate

For value received, the Maker promises to pay to the Holder, the unpaid principal amount of the Advances set forth on Exhibit A annexed hereto together with interest accrued thereon on the applicable Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the terms of this Note, as hereafter set forth. With respect to each Advance, the principal thereof and all interest accrued thereon shall be payable on the later of April 30, 2018 and the 90 ^th day following such Advance (the “Maturity Date”). The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, which interest shall accrue commencing as of the date of each Advance and be payable upon the Maturity Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of 365 days.

Exhibit A annexed hereto reflects the dates and amounts of all Advances made to date. The Maker hereby authorizes the Holder to endorse on Exhibit A (or continuation thereof) annexed to this Note the date and amount of all Additional Advances made to the Maker and all payments of principal amounts in respect of such Advances, which endorsements shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the outstanding principal amount of all Advances; provided, however, that the failure by the Holder to make any such notation with respect to any Advance or payment shall not limit or otherwise effect the obligations of the Maker under this Note.

Anything to the contrary set forth in this Note notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be required to make any Additional Advances hereunder to the Maker.

2. Payments . Any payment under this Note on a day on which Holder is not open to conduct business shall be made on the next succeeding business day. The payment of principal and interest (or any partial payments thereof) or any other payments on account of this Note, when paid, shall be applied first to the payment of all interest then due on the unpaid balance of the principal amount and the balance, if any, shall be applied in reduction of the unpaid balance of the principal amount.

3. Optional Prepayment; Mandatory Prepayment .

(a) The Maker may prepay the unpaid balance of the principal amount in whole at any time or in part from time to time without premium or penalty; provided, that any such prepayment is accompanied by interest accrued and unpaid on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Partial prepayments of this Note shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to the Principal Amount.

(b) In the event of the sale of (i) a majority of the Maker’s assets or (ii) a majority of the Maker’s then outstanding capital stock, the Maker shall concurrently pay to Holder all of the then outstanding principal under this Note, together with all interest accrued thereon.

4. Default . The term “Default,” as used herein, means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

(a) Maker shall fail to make any payment of the principal of any Advance or any interest accrued thereon when such payment shall become due within ten (10) days after the due date thereof (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise); or

(b) Maker shall fail to observe or perform any obligation, covenant or agreement contained or incorporated by reference in this Note (other than that covered by clause (a) above) for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) the first day on which Maker has knowledge of such failure or (ii) written notice thereof has been given to Maker; or

(c) Maker shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of its or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally, or shall admit in writing its inability, to pay its debts as they become due, or shall take any other action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

(d) An involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against Maker seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of, or any substantial part of the property of, Maker, and such invo1untary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or an order for relief shall be entered against Maker under applicable bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect.

(e) Maker shall suspend or announce the imminent suspension of the major portion of its business operations as conducted as of the date hereof.

Upon the occurrence of a Default, the maturity of this Note may be accelerated and the unpaid balance of the principal amount then outstanding together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon declared to be immediately due and payable at the option of the Holder.

5. Address for Payments . All payments of the unpaid balance of the principal amount and interest thereon shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America during regular business hours of the Holder at Holder’s office in Wilmington, Delaware or at such other place as the Holder or any other holder of this Note may at any time or from time to time designate in writing to the Maker.

6. Remedies Cumulative . Each right, power and remedy of the Holder as provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Holder of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Holder of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. No failure or delay by the Holder to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Note, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Holder from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Note, the Holder shall not be deemed to waive the right to declare an event of default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount.

7. Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof. Any proceeding relating to any dispute arising out of or related to this Note shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware.

8. Waivers, Etc . All parties to this Note, including endorsers, sureties and guarantors, if any, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of non-payment or dishonor, and of protest, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever and agree to remain bound hereunder until the interest and Principal Amount are paid in full notwithstanding any (a) release, surrender, waiver, addition, substitution, exchange, compromise, modification of or to or indulgence granted with respect to this Note or all or any part of any collateral or security for this Note; (b) extension or extensions of time for payment which may be granted, even though the period of extension may be indefinite; and (c) inaction by, or failure to assert any legal right available to the holder of this Note.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Maker has executed this instrument, the day and year first above written.

In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person other than Purchaser of any claim, Proceeding or the imposition of any penalty or assessment (whether against the Company, its subsidiaries, the Purchaser, or any other Person) with respect to which the Seller may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to Section ‎9 (a “ Third Party Claim ”), the Purchaser shall give the Seller prompt written notice of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim.] The Seller shall have the right, at its election and its expense, to assume and control the defense and settlement of such Third party Claim, provided that it notifies the Purchaser of its decision to do so within 10 (ten) Business Days upon its receipt of written notice from the Purchaser of such Third Party Claim, and for such purpose will be provided from time to time with such powers of attorney and other documents as required for the conduct of such defense by the Seller and its legal counsels subject to the Seller entering into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information containing customary confidentiality obligations and use restrictions; provided , however , that the Seller may not elect to assume or control the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim unless: (a) the sole remedy sought by the plaintiff in such Third Party Claim is monetary damages, (b) the Seller acknowledges and agrees in writing that any Damages relating to such Third Party Claim constitute Damages under this Section ‎9, and (c) such Third Party Claim, if adversely determined, would not otherwise be reasonably expected to Materially Adversely Affect the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Representatives. Notwithstanding the Seller’s election to assume the defense, appeal or settlement of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense or investigation of such Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense. The Seller and the Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in any such defense, appeal or settlement proceedings, and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto, subject to the parties entering into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information containing customary confidentiality obligations and use restrictions. If the Seller is not entitled, or does not timely elect, to assume and control the defense, appeal or settlement of a Third Party Claim:

	9.8.1.	subject to the other provisions of Section ‎9, all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such Third Party Claim (and all amounts due pursuant to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third Party Claim) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Seller;

	9.8.2.	the Seller shall make available to the Purchaser any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding; and

	9.8.3.	the Purchaser, or the relevant Indemnitee or the relevant Affiliate thereof (as the case may be) shall control the conduct of the Third Party Claim but shall not have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

	9.8.4.	For the avoidance of doubt, failure on the part of the Purchaser to notify the Seller of any Third Party Claim subject to this Section ‎9.8, shall not limit any of the obligations of the Seller under Section ‎9 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Third Party Claim by the Seller).

	9.8.5.	The Seller may not settle, adjust or compromise any Third Party Claim regarding which it assumes the defense, appeal or settlement without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If an Indemnitee requests that the Seller, or the Seller requests the Purchaser or any Indemnitee, to consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise of any Third Party Claim in which the requested party or any Affiliate thereof conducts the defense, appeal or settlement, the requested party shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent. The Parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with all Third Party Claims.

9.9.	*Procedure.*

9.9.1.

Method of Asserting Claims . All claims for indemnification by an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section ‎9 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section ‎9.9.

9.9.2.

Notice of Claim . If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered Damages for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Section ‎9 or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, such Indemnitee may deliver a written claim notice (a “ Claim Notice ”) to the Seller. Each Claim Notice shall: (i) state that the Indemnitee believes in good faith that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Section ‎9 or is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitee’s claim; and (iii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnitee claims to be entitled (the aggregate amount of such estimate being referred to as the “ Claimed Amount ”). The Claim Notice shall include all available supporting documentation.

	9.9.3.	Escrow Fund . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnitee seeks indemnification for Damages (or any other amount due to Purchaser) pursuant to this Agreement prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnitee shall first, to the extent the Escrow Fund is sufficient to recover such Damages, recover such Damages from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Such portion of the Escrow Fund at the conclusion of the Escrow Period as may be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Damages specified in any Claim Notice delivered to the Seller and the Escrow Agent prior to expiration of the Escrow Period, shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims for Damages have been resolved or satisfied. The remainder of the Escrow Fund, if any, shall be released and paid to the Seller promptly after the expiration of the Escrow Period.

	9.9.4.	Dispute Procedure . During the ten (10) Business Day period commencing upon receipt by the Seller of a Claim Notice (the “ Dispute Period ”), the Seller may deliver to the Indemnitee a written response (the “ Response Notice ”) in which the Seller: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause “(ii)” or “(iii)” of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Seller’s claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, as the case may be. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Indemnitee’s Claim Notice being referred to as the “ Contested Amount ”.

	9.9.5.	Payment of Claimed Amounts . If the Seller in the Response Notice agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, the Seller shall within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of such Response Notice, transmit to the Purchaser the Claimed Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser.

	9.9.6.	Resolution between the Parties . If any Response Notice indicates that there is a Contested Amount, the Seller and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Seller and the Indemnitee resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Seller and such Indemnitee and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to such Indemnitee (the “ Stipulated Amount ”) shall be signed by such Indemnitee and the Seller. Unless the Indemnitee shall fully recover such Stipulated Amount from the Escrow Fund, the Seller shall within three (3) Business Days of execution of such settlement agreement, transmit to the Purchaser the Stipulated Amount (or the remainder thereof after recovery from the Escrow Fund) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser. If the Seller and the Indemnitee fail to enter into a settlement agreement within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of the Response Notice, or if no Response Notice is received by the Indemnitee from the Seller prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to pursue any remedies available to Purchaser in accordance with applicable law, and inter alia , to commence a suit to resolve such contest in accordance with Section ‎11.4 hereto, within 30 (thirty) days from the lapse of such period.

9.10.

Exclusive Remedy . From and after the Closing, except with respect to claims seeking specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to covenants to be performed after the Closing or pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement, indemnification under this Section 9 shall be the sole post-Closing remedy available to the Purchaser and other Indemnitees (and their respective successors and assigns) in respect of any Damages incurred by the Indemnitees with respect to or in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude an action for fraud or seeking any remedies to the extent expressly set forth in the other Transaction Agreements for claims that may arise thereunder (and for clarity, the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to such remedies shall be subject to the terms set forth therein).

9.11.

Insurance, Etc. The Seller’s liability for its indemnification obligations hereunder shall be reduced, if and to the extent relevant, by: (A) insurance proceeds, if any, actually received by the Indemnitees with respect thereto; and (B) the proceeds and/or indemnification actually received by the indemnitees from any third party with respect thereto, provided, however, that no Indemnitee shall be obligated to pursue any such insurance proceeds or other recovery.

10.

Termination

10.1.

Termination . This Agreement may be terminated in accordance with applicable law. Without derogating from the foregoing:

	10.1.1.	this Agreement may be terminated by the Seller or Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred by March 29, 2018, unless the reason that the Closing has not occurred shall be the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to fulfill its obligations hereunder or the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by such Party hereunder.

	10.1.2.	if any Party shall breach any of its respective representations, warranties or obligations contained in this Agreement, where the effect of such event, circumstance or breach would be to cause the conditions to the obligation to consummate the Closing of the terminating party not to be capable of being satisfied, the non-breaching Party shall provide notice to the breaching Party specifying the breach and, if such breach is capable of cure within a period of fourteen (14) days, giving to the breaching Party thirty (30) days to cure such breach, it being understood that in the event the breach is timely cured, the non-breaching Parties shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement.

10.2.

Effect of Termination .

In the event of a termination hereunder without Closing, to the extent possible, and upon request of the other Party, each Party hereto shall return promptly to the other Parties hereto or destroy (and certify such destruction to the other Parties in writing) all documents, work papers, and other material of the other Parties furnished or made available to such Party or its Representatives, and all copies thereof, and agrees that all information received by it or its Representatives shall be held in confidence and no information received by it or its Representatives shall be revealed by it or its Representatives to any third party or used for the advantage of such Party or any other Person.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

This Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of this 9th day of April, 2018, by and between Acorn Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and Jan H. Loeb (“Loeb”).

R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS , the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Loeb to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer in January 2016; and

Loeb shall serve as the Company’s principal executive officer in the capacities of President and Chief Executive Officer, with all the power and authority and executing all the functions associated with such offices, and shall commit sufficient business time to effectively discharge the responsibilities of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, without any additional compensation beyond that provided for in this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Loeb from performing his other duties at Leap Tide and/or accepting consulting or employment arrangements or other positions outside of his activities for the Company.

4.	Payment and Expenses .

	(a)	Cash Payment . The Company shall pay to Loeb compensation in the amount of $12,000.00 per month during the Term, commencing May 1, 2018. The parties acknowledge that Mr. Loeb has received compensation for the month of April 2018 under the terms set forth in the 2017 Consulting Agreement.

	(b)	Options . On May 1, 2018, Loeb shall be granted options to purchase 35,000 shares of Common Stock. The options shall be exercisable at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock on April 30, 2018, and will allow for cashless exercise if there is no effective registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the shares. Fifty percent (50%) of the options shall be vested immediately; the remaining options shall vest in two equal increments on July 1, 2018 and October 1, 2018. The exercise period and other terms shall otherwise be substantially the same as the terms of the options granted by the Company to its outside directors.

	(c)	Bonuses . Loeb shall be eligible for each of the following cash bonuses from the Company:

	(i)	Payable on or before May 1, 2018, in recognition of Loeb’s performance in the sale of the Company’s shares in DSIT Solutions Ltd, a bonus of $100,000;

	(ii)	Payable upon consummation during the Term of a corporate acquisition transaction approved by the Board, a bonus of $150,000; and

	(d)	Expenses . Loeb shall be entitled to reimbursement for any out of pocket expenses (travel, transportation, office, etc.) incurred in connection with the consulting services rendered pursuant hereto.

	(e)	D&O Coverage. The Company has confirmed that Loeb will be covered by the Company’s primary and excess D&O insurance policy in his capacities of director as well as President and Chief Executive Officer, notwithstanding the fact that he is not an employee of the Company, on the same basis as the other directors and executive officers of the Company.

	(f)	No Other Compensation . Other than as set forth herein or otherwise agreed in writing, Loeb shall not receive any other compensation or benefits in connection with this Agreement or his service as a director and President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Termination . The Term of this Agreement may be terminated early for any or no reason with or without cause (i) by Loeb at any time upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Company and (ii) by the Company effective December 31, 2018 on at least 15 (fifteen) days’ written notice to Loeb given on or after December 1, 2018. In the event if a termination of this Agreement at the end of the Term or upon an early termination in accordance with this Section, the Company shall no longer be obligated to pay the monthly cash compensation provided for in Section 4(a) but shall be required to pay any accrued and unpaid amounts payable to Loeb under Section 4.

6.	Covenants of Loeb .

	(a)	Loeb recognizes that the knowledge of, information concerning, and relationship with, customers, suppliers and agents, and the knowledge of the Company’s business methods, systems, plans and policies which Loeb will establish, receive or obtain as a consultant to the Company, are valuable and unique assets of the business of the Company. Loeb will not, during or following the Term, use or disclose any such knowledge or information pertaining to the Company, its customers, suppliers, agents, policies or other aspects of its business, for any reason or purpose, whatsoever except pursuant to Loeb’s duties hereunder or as otherwise authorized by the Company in writing. The foregoing restriction shall not apply, following termination of Loeb’s engagement hereunder, to knowledge or information which (i) is in or enters the public domain without violation of this Agreement or other obligations of confidentiality by Loeb or his agents or representatives, (ii) Loeb can demonstrate was in his possession on a non-confidential basis prior to the commencement of this engagement with the Company, or (iii) Loeb can demonstrate was received or obtained by him on a non-confidential basis from a third party who did not acquire it wrongfully or under an obligation of confidentiality, subsequent to the termination of Loeb’s engagement hereunder.

	(b)	All memoranda, notes, records or other documents made or compiled by Loeb or made available to Loeb while engaged concerning customers, suppliers, agents or personnel of the Company, or the Company’s business methods, systems, plans and policies, shall be the Company’s property and shall be delivered to the Company on termination of Loeb’s engagement or at any other time on request.

	(c)	During the term of Loeb’s engagement and for one year thereafter, Loeb shall not, except pursuant to and in furtherance of Loeb’s duties hereunder, directly or indirectly solicit or initiate contact with any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries with a view to inducing or encouraging such employee to leave the employ of the Company for the purpose of being hired by Loeb, an employer affiliated with Loeb or any competitor of the Company.

	(d)	Loeb acknowledges that the provisions of this section are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company and that the Company will be irrevocably damaged if such covenants are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, Loeb agrees that, in addition to any other relief to which the Company may be entitled in the form of actual or punitive damages, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction for the purposes of restraining Loeb from any actual or threatened breach of such covenants.

7.	Independent Contractor Status . It is the express intention of the Company and Loeb that Loeb performs the covered services under this Agreement, including his services as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be construed to constitute Loeb as an employee.

8.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

9.	Governing Law . This Agreement and all matters and issues collateral thereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts performed entirely therein.

10.	Severability . If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to either party or to any circumstance, shall be adjudged by a court to be void and unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability thereof.

11.	Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given if served personally, mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested or sent by nationally recognized courier service, to the parties at the addresses below, or at such other address or addresses as they may hereafter designate in writing.

	2.	It is contemplated that (i) Accrued Dividends, (ii) all other amounts outstanding as of the date hereof under the Grid Note, and (iii) all future dividends that shall accrue on the Shares at the Amended Dividend Rate from date hereof through June 30, 2020, shall be paid by OMX to you in the amounts and on the dates set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.
