Exhibit 99.1

AGREEMENT

This Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 30, 2016 by and among Numerex Corp. (the “Company”)  and the entities and natural persons set forth in Exhibit A hereto (collectively, “Viex”) (each of the Company and Viex, a “Party” to this Agreement, and collectively, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Viex is deemed to beneficially own shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) totaling, in the aggregate, 1,842,393 shares (the “Shares”), or approximately 9.5%, of the Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Company and Viex have determined to come to an agreement to modify the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company and as to certain other matters relating to, among other things, the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2016 Annual Meeting”) as provided in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Section 1. Board Matters, Nomination and Election of Directors and Related Agreements.

(a)           Board Composition and Size. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees to cause the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to increase the number of members of the Board by one (1), so that the size of the Board will be set at eight (8) members and (ii) appoint Eric Singer (the “Viex Designee”) to fill the vacancy created thereby.  As promptly as practical following such appointment, the Company shall, in accordance with Section 214 of the Company’s bylaws, take all necessary action to elect the Viex Designee to the Audit Committee and the Nominating / Corporate Governance Committee.  Through the Standstill Period (as defined below), the Board and all applicable committees and subcommittees of the Board shall not recommend or take action to increase the size of the Board to more than eight (8) directors.

(b)           Nomination and Election of Directors.  The Board and all applicable committees and subcommittees of the Board shall take all action necessary so that at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting, the Board shall nominate Brian Igoe (the “Independent Director”), together with the Viex Designee, Stratton J. Nicolaides, Marc Zionts, Tony Holcomb, Sherrie A McAvoy, Jerry A. Rose, and Andrew Ryan (the “2016 Nominees”) for election to the Board at the 2016 Annual Meeting.  The Board and all applicable committees and subcommittees of the Board shall not recommend or nominate any persons other than the 2016 Nominees for election to the Board at the 2016 Annual Meeting.

(c)           Replacement Directors.  If, after the 2016 Annual Meeting, any of the Viex Designee or the Independent Director or any Replacement Director (as defined below) is unable to serve as a director during the Standstill Period (as defined below), and at such time Viex beneficially owns in the aggregate at least 5.0% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments), then Viex shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person (the “Replacement Director”) to the Board, who (i) qualifies as “independent” pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and NASDAQ listing standards, shall have relevant financial and business experience to serve on the Board, and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Governance and Nominating Committee acting in good faith, and (ii) in the case of a Replacement Director for the Independent Director,  shall not be an Affiliate or Associate of Viex (as such terms are defined in Section 2 below).   If the Governance and Nominating Committee does not accept a substitute person recommended by Viex, Viex shall have the right to recommend additional person(s).  After the Governance and Nominating Committee and Viex jointly recommend a Replacement Director to the Board, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Replacement Director to the Board, and if approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such Replacement Director shall be immediately appointed to the Board.  If the Board does not approve any Replacement Director, Viex shall have the right to recommend additional person(s) to serve as a Replacement Director.

(d)           Waiver and Agreement.  The Company represents that it has received from Gwynedd Resources, Ltd. (“Gwynedd”) (i) an irrevocable waiver, in which Gwynedd has waived all of its rights through the term of the Standstill Period (as defined below) to designate an additional director as a result of the increase in the number of members of the Board to eight (8), and (ii) a written agreement that  Gwynedd shall (x) continue to have the right to vote all of the shares of Common Stock it holds as of the date hereof through the 2016 Annual Meeting and (y) appear in person or by proxy at the 2016 Annual Meeting and vote all shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by it at the meeting in favor of the election of the 2016 Nominees.  The Company agrees that through the term of the Standstill Period, it shall not grant Gwynedd any additional rights beyond the rights set forth in that certain Letter Agreement by and between the Company and Gwynedd dated October 15, 1994 with respect to the composition of the Board or with respect to matters relating to the 2016 Annual Meeting, without the consent of the Viex Designee.

Section 2. Covenants.

(a)           Viex agrees that it will cause its controlled Affiliates and Associates to comply with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any such controlled Affiliate or Associate. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act and shall include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement.

(b)           Viex agrees that it will (1) continue to have the right to vote all of the Shares held as of the date hereof through the 2016 Annual Meeting and (2) appear in person or by proxy at the 2016 Annual Meeting and vote all shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by Viex at the meeting (x) in favor of the election of the 2016 Nominees and (y) in accordance with the Board’s recommendations with respect such other proposals as may properly come before the 2016 Annual Meeting; provided, however, that to the extent that the recommendation of both Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.
