CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

Digital Power Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of XX Xxxxxxx & Sons (Huddersfield) Ltd., or its registered assign(s) (the “Holder”), the principal sum of One Million, Six Hundred and Sixty-Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred Sixty-Six Dollars ($1,667,766) (the “Note”).

1.       Payments; Prepayment.

(a)     Payments. This Note is issued on December 5, 2017 (the “Closing Date”). Except as provided elsewhere in this Section 1, the principal of this Note (the “Principal”) shall be payable on or before December 4, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). On the first business day following the Maturity Date, sent by overnight courier or registered mail, the Holder shall receive payment of the outstanding Principal, if any. All payments in respect of the Principal shall be made in cash in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds.

(b)     Voluntary Prepayment. The Principal amount of this Note may be prepaid by the Company, in whole or in part, without penalty, at any time. Upon any prepayment of a portion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Company to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note which shall not have been paid.

2.       Conversion into Common Stock.

(a)     Voluntary Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of Sections 2(c) through 2(f) of this Note, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to convert all or a part of the outstanding Principal Date into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the result of dividing the Principal amount of this Note by $0.85 (as may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, subdivisions or combinations of, or similar transactions in, the Common Stock, the “Conversion Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, no conversion of this Note may occur unless and until the Company has secure shareholder approval to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock as further described in Section 2(f)(i) hereof.

(b)     Reduction of Principal. The Principal due hereunder shall automatically be reduced by the amount of Principal that has previously been converted pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof.

(c)     Conversion Mechanics. In order to exercise its voluntary conversion rights pursuant to Section 2 of this Note, the Holder shall deliver a written notice of election to convert sent by email, overnight courier or registered mail in the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a "Conversion Notice") setting forth the amount of Principal the Holder is electing to convert, duly completed and signed, to the Company. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the first business day following the date that the Conversion Notice is sent to the Company (the “Conversion Date”), and the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock at such time and on such date.

(d)     Delivery of Certificate(s). As promptly as practicable after delivery by the Holder of the Conversion Notice and in any event within three (3) business days after such delivery, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock. In the event that less than the total Principal remaining under this Note is converted pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall, simultaneously with the issuance of certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all or part of this Note, cause the Company to issue and deliver to the Holder (or in accordance with the instructions of the Holder) a new Note for the balance of the Principal not so converted. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of all or part of this Note will upon delivery in accordance with the provisions hereof be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights.

(e)     Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or securities representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of all or part of this Note. Any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock resulting from conversion of all or part of this Note shall be paid in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price on the date of such conversion.

(f)     Holder’s Conversion Limitations.

(i)     The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to receive pursuant to the terms of this Note any shares of Common Stock, if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, when aggregated with the shares of Common Stock underlying that certain $600,000 Convertible Promissory Note (“Note A”) issued to the original Holder pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement dated of even date herewith by and between the Company and the original holder, would exceed 3,249,219 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the NYSE American for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount. In the event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of the Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Exchange Cap, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap allocated to such transferee.

(ii)     The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates (as defined below), and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(f)(ii), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(f)(ii) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(ii), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company's transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder.  The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(f)(ii) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. “Affiliate” means, as to any person, any other person (a) that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is controlled by, or is under direct or indirect common control with, the subject person, (b) that directly or indirectly beneficially owns or holds ten percent (10%) or more of any class of voting equity of the subject person, or (c) ten percent (10%) or more of the voting equity of which is directly or indirectly beneficially owned or held by the subject person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any person means the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, through representation on such person’s board of directors or other management committee or group, by contract or otherwise.

(iii)     The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, following receipt by the Holder of an aggregate of $2,267,766 of gross proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Note A or this Note, as evidenced by (i) Holder’s trading activity on the exchange or trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded and/or (ii) Holder’s sales of Common Stock in private transactions (the “Note Satisfaction Event”). The Holder shall disclose all gross proceeds received from prior and contemplated sales in each Conversion Notice and shall promptly notify the Company upon occurrence of the Note Satisfaction Event.

UPON THE NOTE SATISFACTION EVENT, THIS NOTE SHALL BE CANCELLED. IF THIS NOTE IS CANCELLED, THE HOLDER WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO RETURN THIS NOTE TO THE COMPANY BUT THIS NOTE WILL BECOME NULL AND VOID AND THE HOLDER SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED TO CONVERT THIS NOTE.
