                            AMA SECURITIES AGREEMENT

         THIS AGREEMENT is effective as of the 29th day of February, 1996, among
Elcom International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Michael
Peter David Allpress, Robert John Atkins and Kevin John Meakings (such persons
being hereinafter referred to, as the context requires, individually as
"Stockholder" and collectively as "Stockholders"), as the former stockholders of
AMA (as hereinafter defined).

                                    RECITALS

         A. The Stockholders are together the record and beneficial owners of
all of the ordinary share capital (the "Stock") of AMA (UK) Limited, a
corporation organized under the laws of England ("AMA"); and

         B. The Company desires to acquire, and the Stockholders desire to sell,
all of the Stock to the Company (the "Acquisition") in consideration for
3,247,371 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Elcom Shares,"
which term encompasses any securities hereafter issued in respect of or in
exchange for the Elcom Shares in connection with a stock split, stock dividend,
combination or exchange of shares, exchange for other securities,
reclassification, reorganization, redesignation, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, spin-off, split-off, split-up or other such change), of the
Company in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of a Sale and
Purchase Agreement dated of even date herewith (the "Purchase Agreement") among
the Company and the Stockholders; and

         C. The Company and the Stockholders have agreed that the issuance of
the Elcom Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be pursuant to the
exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), provided by Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Act; and

         D. On even date herewith, the Company, the Stockholders and an escrow
agent entered into an Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") pursuant to
which a portion of the Elcom Shares are held in escrow to secure the obligations
of the Stockholders under the Purchase Agreement and which shares, upon
distribution from said escrow, shall continue to be subject to this Agreement;
and

         E. The Company and Stockholders have further agreed that Stockholders
shall have, under the terms and conditions herein set forth, certain rights to
include the Elcom Shares received by such Stockholders in a Company registration
of securities under the Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC");
and

         F. The Company and Stockholders desire that the Acquisition be treated
as a pooling-of-interest for accounting purposes;

                     ARTICLE 2 EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION;
                               LIMITS ON TRANSFER

         2.1 Regulation S. Each Stockholder acknowledges that he is not a "U.S.
person" (as defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Act) and that the
Elcom Shares acquired in connection with the Acquisition have not been
registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or
to "U.S. persons" unless the Elcom Shares are registered under the Act, or an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Act is available.

         2.2 Information Received. Each Stockholder acknowledges that he or she
has had, at a reasonable time prior to the date of this Agreement, the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning
the terms and conditions of the Elcom Shares and the business of the Company and
to obtain any additional information which the Company possesses that each
Stockholder has deemed necessary or desirable.

         2.3 Limitations on Resale. Each Stockholder is aware that the Elcom
Shares have not been registered under the Act and that he or she must hold such
shares indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. Each Stockholder is acquiring the
Elcom Shares for his or her own account, for investment and not with a view to
the distribution thereof. Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the
certificates representing the Elcom Shares to be received by him or her shall
bear a legend stating the substance of such restrictions.

         2.4 Speculative Nature of Investment. Each Stockholder is aware that
the investment in the Elcom Shares is a speculative one and involves a high
degree of risk, that the amount realized on the investment may not equal the
original amount invested, and in evaluating such investment each Stockholder has
consulted with his or her own investment and/or legal and/or tax advisers and
has concluded that the proposed investment in the Company is appropriate in
light of his or her overall investment objectives and financial situation.

                    ARTICLE 3 POOLING-OF-INTERESTS ACCOUNTING

         Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company intends that
the Acquisition shall be accounted for on a pooling-of-interests basis and that
such Stockholder will not, in addition to any other restriction on transfer of
Elcom Shares otherwise contained herein, Transfer any of the Elcom Shares
received by such Stockholder pursuant to the Acquisition (other than as
specifically contemplated in the Purchase Agreement) until such time as
financial results covering at least thirty (30) days of the combined operations
of AMA and the Company shall have been published by the Company in a Form 8-K or
a Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, which shall not be later than June 15, 1996.

                          ARTICLE 4 REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         4.1 "Piggy-Back" Registration Rights. If, at any time within seven (7)
years after the date hereof, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration
statement under the Act with respect to a public offering for cash of any of the
Company's common stock by the Company or any of its stockholders, other than a
registration filed on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms or
filed in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely
to the existing stockholders or employees of the Company, then the Company will,
at least forty-five (45) days prior to filing such registration statement (a
"Registration Statement"), notify the Stockholders in writing of its intention
to make such filing. Upon the written request by each Stockholder, stating the
number of Elcom Shares desired to be registered by such Stockholder, given
within thirty (30) days after mailing such notice by the Company in accordance
with Section 6.1 hereof, and subject to the approval of the managing underwriter
of the Company's common stock to be sold under such filing and subject to any
required adjustments (all in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof), the Company
shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 4, use its best efforts to
cause to be included in such Registration Statement for registration under the
Act, all of the Elcom Shares that each such Stockholder has requested to be
registered; provided, however, that unless the Company's Board of Directors and
managing underwriter agree to an increased limit, all Piggy-Back Holders (as
hereinafter defined) shall be entitled to have registered in the aggregate no
more than 20% of the total number of shares of common stock offered in any such
public offering (exclusive of any over-allotment option). The right of any
Stockholder to request the inclusion of a registration of any Elcom Shares
pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not apply to any Elcom Shares held by a
Stockholder to whom the Company shall deliver an opinion of its counsel that
such Elcom Shares which such Stockholder proposes to sell may lawfully be sold
or distributed publicly without registration within a period of six months
commencing on the date which is sixty (60) days after the date of such
Stockholder's registration request or any Elcom Shares subject to the Escrow
Agreement and included as part of the Indemnity Escrow Fund (as defined in the
Escrow Agreement).

         Whenever required under this Article 4 to use its best efforts to
effect the registration of any Elcom Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible (i) prepare and file with the SEC the Registration
Statement with respect to such Elcom Shares and use its best efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to become and remain effective; provided, however,
that the Company shall in no event be obligated to cause any such registration
to remain effective for more than ninety (90) days, or such shorter period as is
required to dispose of all securities covered by such Registration Statement,
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement, (iii) furnish to the Stockholders such number of copies
of a prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Elcom Shares owned by them, and (iv) use its best efforts to register and
qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under 


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be
reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the securities covered by the
Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to register any of the Elcom
Shares under any securities laws of any state in which the Company is not
otherwise registering its securities in connection with such registration or to
qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any
state or jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Elcom Shares desired
to be sold by the holders thereof may not necessarily be included in the
Registration Statement pursuant to this Article 4, because of the procedures set
forth in Section 4.8. As used herein, all holders of piggy-back registration
rights with respect to Company securities (which currently apply to a
substantial majority of the Company's outstanding common stock) shall be
referred to as "Piggy-Back Holders."

         The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
registration initiated by it under this Article 4 prior to the effectiveness of
such registration without any liability to the Stockholders who would have
participated in such registration in the event it had not been terminated or
withdrawn by the Company.

         4.2 Stockholders' Condition; Obligation to Furnish Information. It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any
action pursuant to Article 4 hereof that the Stockholders shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding them, the Shares held by them, and the
intended method of disposition of such securities as the Company shall
reasonably request or as shall be necessary in order to properly enable the
Company to take any such actions (including, but not limited to, completion and
execution of all customary documentation relating to their intended inclusion of
Elcom Shares for registration, such as by way of example only, a Power of
Attorney, Custody Agreement, "Lock-up" Agreement and Underwriting Agreement).

         4.3 Expenses of Registration. All registration and qualification fees,
printers' and accounting fees, and underwriters' discounts and commissions and
brokerage or dealer commissions incurred in connection with a registration
pursuant to this Article 4 shall be borne pro rata among the Company and each
Piggy-Back Holder in the proportion that the securities included in the
registration by the Company or a Piggy-Back Holder relate to all of the
securities included in the registration. Fees and disbursements of legal counsel
for the Company and other expenses of the Company shall be borne exclusively by
the Company. Fees and disbursements of legal counsel to Piggy-Back Holders
participating in the registration and other expenses of such Piggy-Back Holders
shall be borne on a pro rata basis exclusively among such participating
Piggy-Back Holders or as mutually agreed among such Piggy-Back Holders.

         4.4 Delay of Registration. No Stockholder shall have any right to take
any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any Registration Statement
under this Article 4 as the result of any controversy that might arise with
respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article 4.

         4.5 Indemnification. In the event any Elcom Shares of Stockholders are
included in a Registration Statement under this Article 4:


                                       5
<PAGE>   6
              4.5.1 Indemnification of Stockholders. To the extent permitted by
law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder requesting or
joining in any in Registration Statement under this Article 4, and each person,
if any, who controls such Stockholder within the meaning of the Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
on any untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Registration
Statement, including any prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or arise out of any violation by the Company
of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act applicable to the Company
and relating to action or inaction required by the Company in connection with
any such registration; and will reimburse each such Stockholder or controlling
person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Subsection 4.5.1 shall be subject to Subsection 4.5.3, shall not apply to
amounts (including expenses) paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) nor shall the Company
be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
(including expenses) to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in connection with such Registration Statement, any prospectus, or
amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by or on behalf of the Stockholder or controlling person. It is
expressly understood among the parties to this Agreement that in no event shall
the Company be obligated to agree to indemnify or indemnify, in any respect, any
underwriter, broker, dealer or other entity or person effecting the sale,
purchasing or otherwise distributing or transferring any of the Elcom Shares.

              4.5.2 Indemnification of the Company. To the extent permitted by
law, each Stockholder requesting or joining in any Registration Statement under
this Article 4 will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, and each
agent for the Company (within the meaning of the Act) against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director,
officer, controlling person or agent may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
taken in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of
any material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or omission was made in such Registration Statement, any prospectus, or
amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by or on behalf of such Stockholder or his or her
controlling persons for use in connection with such registration; and each such
Stockholder will reimburse 


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person or agent in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 4.5.2 shall
be subject to Subsection 4.5.3 and shall not apply to amounts (including
expenses) paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Stockholder
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

              4.5.3 Notification of and Participation in Claims. Promptly after
receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.5 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with Calfee, Halter & Griswold,
if the indemnifying party is the Company or with other counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties. The failure to notify an indemnifying party
promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to his or her
ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any
liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.5, but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve them of any liability that
they may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.

         4.6  Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each Piggy-Back Holder hereby agrees,
so long as such Piggy-Back Holder beneficially owns at least one percent (1.0%)
of the Company's then outstanding securities (treating any exercisable or
convertible securities on an as-if-converted basis), in connection with a public
offering by the Company of such securities, upon the request of the Company or
the underwriters managing such offering, not to Transfer, grant any option for
the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Shares without the prior written
consent of the Company or the underwriters, for such period of time not to
exceed 180 days following the effective date of such Registration Statement as
the Company or the underwriters may require or specify.

         4.7  Transfer of Registration Rights. Unless the Elcom Shares to be
transferred are transferable by the Stockholder in accordance with Rule 144, the
registration rights of the Stockholder under this Article 4 may be transferred
to any third party along with such Shares and such rights will inure to the
benefit of the Stockholder's respective heirs and personal representatives who
acquire the Elcom Shares without payment of value upon their death; provided in
any such case that, as a condition precedent, any such transferee shall execute
an assignment and assumption agreement with the Company with respect to such
transferred Shares, agreeing to be subject to the obligations with respect
thereto.

         4.8  Underwriting Requirements. If the total amount of Shares requested
by Piggy-Back Holders to be included in any registration exceeds the 20% limit
referred to in Section 4.1 or exceeds the amount of securities which the
managing underwriter, in the case of an underwritten public offering, determines
in its discretion to be compatible with the success of 


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
the offering, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of Elcom
Shares which conform to the 20% limit or such lesser amount as the underwriters
believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata between Piggy-Back Holders according to the
total amount of securities requested to be included therein owned by each
Piggy-Back Holder desiring to sell securities or in such other proportions as
shall mutually be agreed to by the Piggy-Back Holders).


                          ARTICLE 5 TERM OF AGREEMENT

         5.1 Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in
effect until terminated by (a) written agreement of the Company's Board of
Directors and the Stockholders, (b) cessation of the Company's business and
winding up of its affairs, (c) any merger or consolidation of the Company in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation, unless such merger or
consolidation is with another entity that is controlled by, under the control of
or in common control with, the Company, or (d) seven (7) years from the date of
this Agreement.

         5.2 Removal of Restrictive Legends. Upon termination of this Agreement,
each Stockholder shall surrender to the Company any certificates representing
Elcom Shares bearing the restrictive legend referenced in Section 2.3, and the
Company shall issue a new certificate in lieu thereof for an equal number of
Elcom Shares without such restrictive legend.

         5.3 Rule 144. Following a Public Offering, the Company agrees to take
all reasonable actions within its control to file all of the reports that it is
required to file pursuant to Rule 144(c) of the Act.

injunctive relief and to specific performance to enforce this Agreement and that
if any action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce it, no party will

promptly submitted to AAA under its minitrial procedures. All arbitration
proceedings shall take place in Boston, Massachusetts.

         7.5 Severability and Reformation. If any provision of this Agreement,
or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance should, for any reason
and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement
and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall
not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by law.

         7.6 Headings. The Article and Section headings contained herein are
intended solely for convenience of reference and shall not be considered in

         7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute the same document.

         7.9 Third Parties. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is
intended or shall be construed to confer on any Person, other than the Company
and the Stockholders, any rights hereunder.

         7.10 Exhibits. The Exhibits referenced in this Agreement constitute an
integral part of this Agreement as if fully rewritten herein.

         7.11 Time Periods. Any action required hereunder to be taken within a
certain number of days shall be taken within that number of calendar days;
provided, however, that if the last day for taking such action falls on a
Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday observed by the Company, the period during which
