1, 2013, DSIT Solutions Ltd., a majority-owned subsidiary of Acorn Energy, Inc., entered into an amendment to the
employment agreement with Benny Sela, DSIT's Chief Executive Officer and President. The amendment provides that Mr. Sela's
annual bonus shall continue to be, </FONT>subject to the approval of DSIT&rsquo;s Board of Directors, equal to 1.75% of
DSIT's gross profit (as calculated for financial statement purposes in accordance with US GAAP); provided that such amount
shall be payable with respect to calendar year 2013 only if DSIT has positive net profit (as calculated for financial
statement purposes in accordance with US GAAP and before making provisions for the amortization of the cost of options
granted to DSIT employees) and for all periods thereafter only if DSIT has a cumulative annual growth in earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as calculated for financial statement purposes in accordance with US GAAP) of
at least 20% over the base year of 2012. DSIT&rsquo;s Board may at its discretion adjust the criteria for the granting of the
bonus, the net profit goals and the listed growth rates in light of decisions that were made with the consent of the Board or
Acorn Energy management&nbsp;during &nbsp;any year that may have reduced the EBITDA but which were made with a longer term
view.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">DSIT&rsquo;s Board approved a change
to all outstanding option agreements to provide for vesting on the earlier of (i) a public offering or other divestiture
event by Acorn Energy (as was provided for) or (ii) the termination of  employment without cause after 25 years of continuous
service. Mr. Sela&rsquo;s option award agreements have thus been amended.</P>
