ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 29, 2008, CalAmp Corp. (the "Company") entered into the Fourth Amendment and Waiver to the Credit Agreement dated May 26, 2006 (the "Amended Agreement") with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and certain other banks that are parties thereto. Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, the banks agreed to waive the financial covenant violations that existed for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008.

The Amended Agreement provides that cash proceeds of $3.8 million from the August 2007 sale of the Company's TelAlert software business that has been held in escrow by the banks will be applied to reduce borrowings under the term loan, which will leave an outstanding principal balance of approximately $27.5 million. The interest rate on the term loan was also increased by 0.5% as a result of this amendment, and giving effect to this change, the term loan now bears interest at 7.1%. Term loan principal payments of $750,000 are due on the last day of each calendar quarter during 2008, and a principal payment of $1,250,000 is due on March 31, 2009. In addition, any collections of the scheduled $140,000 per month on a note receivable from the buyer of the TelAlert software business must be applied to reduce the term loan principal. The Amended Agreement has a termination date of June 30, 2009, at which time all outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement are due and payable. In the event all outstanding obligations under the Amended Agreement are not paid in full by December 31, 2008, an exit fee of $500,000 will be due and payable to the banks on June 30, 2009, except that if the Company receives cash of at least $5,000,000 as a result of issuing equity or subordinated debt by December 31, 2008, then the exit fee will be reduced to $300,000.

The Amended Agreement also makes available $1 million for borrowings under a working capital revolving loan. Borrowings under the revolver would bear interest at the Bank of Montreal's prime rate plus 2% or LIBOR plus 3%.

The financial covenants with which the Company had been noncompliant were eliminated as a result of this amendment, and were replaced with new covenants that require minimum levels of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and Wireless DataCom Division revenues. In addition, the Amended Agreement contains a provision by which an event of default would occur if a certain key customer of the Company's Satellite Division does not grant final authorization/clearance for shipment of new generation products by June 30, 2008.
