      Re:   CONSULTING EXTENSION

Dear Randy:

      This letter confirms the agreement between you and EMRISE Corporation (the
"Company") to modify our letter agreement with you dated August 18, 2006, by
changing the Employment Separation Date to January 31, 2007, which will extend
your temporary employment by one additional month. If the Company determines, in
its sole discretion, that additional time is needed or desired to complete your
work for the Company, then you have agreed to consider at that time a further
extension of the Employment Separation Date for up to two additional months,
I.E., until March 30, 2007, but nothing in this modification agreement requires
you or the Company to extend your temporary employment beyond January 31, 2007.
The Company will continue your compensation and benefits through the Employment
Separation Date, as set forth in our agreement dated August 18, 2006.

      Other than the extension of the Employment Separation Date described
above, nothing in this modification agreement is intended to alter or change any
of the other terms of our agreement dated August 18, 2006, all of which remain
in effect.

      Randy, if you agree to the modification described above, then please
indicate your agreement by signing below.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ Carmine T. Oliva
                                                --------------------

                                                President
ACCEPTED AND AGREED:
