NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

Upon the terms of this Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII, and in accordance with the CICL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving company of the Merger (the “Surviving Company”) under the Laws of the Cayman Islands as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 9:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or another date or time agreed in writing by the Company and Parent (the “Closing Date”) at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, 35/F ICBC Tower, 3 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong, or at another place agreed in writing by the Company and Parent; provided that notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, if Parent has made a Specified Filing for which it has not received consent or approval for the Merger from the applicable Governmental Authority, Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to effect the Closing until the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following receipt by Parent of approval or consent to the Merger from the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to such Specified Filing.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub and the Company shall execute a plan of merger (the “Plan of Merger”) substantially in the form set out in Annex A and the parties shall file the Plan of Merger and other documents required under the CICL to effect the Merger with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands as provided by Section 233 of the CICL. The Merger shall become effective on the date specified in the Plan of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

At the Effective Time, the memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company shall be amended to read in its entirety the same as the memorandum and articles of association of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (which shall include the provisions required by Section 6.05(a)), until thereafter amended as provided by the CICL and such memorandum and articles of association; provided, however, that, at the Effective Time, all references in the memorandum and articles of association to the name of the Surviving Company shall be amended to refer to AutoNavi Holdings Limited.

The parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that (a) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Company, and (b) the officers (other than the directors) of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Company, in each case, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, and until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any securities of the Company:

(a) (i) Each ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share” or, collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”), including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares, each representing four (4) Ordinary Shares (the “ADSs”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (A) any Shares owned by Alibaba Group Holding Limited or any of its Subsidiaries, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all issued and outstanding Preferred Shares (the “Alibaba Shares”), (B) any Dissenting Shares, (C) any Shares owned by any Group Company (if any), and (D) any Shares issued, outstanding and reserved (but not yet allocated) by the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time, for settlement upon exercise of any Company Share Awards (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$5.25 in cash per Ordinary Share without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and as each ADS represents four (4) Ordinary Shares, each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs that represent Excluded Shares) shall represent the right to surrender the ADS in exchange for US$21.00 in cash per ADS without interest (the “Per ADS Merger Consideration”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement; and (ii) all of the Shares, including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs (other than the Excluded Shares), shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and the register of members of the Company will be amended accordingly.

(b) Each Excluded Share (including ADSs that represent Excluded Shares but excluding the Dissenting Shares which shall be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.03), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of its holder, shall be cancelled and cease to exist, without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, and the register of members of the Company shall be amended accordingly.

(c) Each ordinary share, par value US$1.00 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, par value US$1.00 per share, of the Surviving Company. Such ordinary shares shall be the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company, and the Surviving Company shall make entries in its register of members to reflect the holder of ordinary shares of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time as the holder of the ordinary shares of the Surviving Company immediately after the Effective Time.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company, the Company Board or the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall take the actions as set forth on Section 2.02(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to (i) terminate the Company’s Share Incentive Plans, and any relevant award agreements applicable to the Share Incentive Plans, as of the Effective Time, (ii) cancel each Company Share Award that is outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable, as of the Effective Time, and (iii) otherwise effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.02. From and after the Effective Time, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be required to issue any Shares, other share capital of the Company or the Surviving Company or any other consideration (other than as required by this Section 2.02) to any person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Share Award.

(b) Each former holder of a Vested Company Option that is cancelled at the Effective Time shall, in exchange therefor, be paid by the Surviving Company or one of its Subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (without interest), a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the Exercise Price of such Vested Company Option and (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Vested Company Option; provided that if the Exercise Price of any such Vested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Vested Company Option shall be cancelled without any payment therefor.

(c) Each former holder of an Unvested Company Option and/or Company Restricted Share Award that is cancelled at the Effective Time shall, in exchange therefor, receive as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, a restricted cash award (“RCA”) in an amount in cash that is the equivalent of, (i) in the case of an Unvested Company Option, the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the Exercise Price of such Unvested Company Option and (B) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Unvested Company Option, and (ii) in the case of a Company Restricted Share Award, the product of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (B) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company Restricted Share Award; provided that if the Exercise Price of any such Unvested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration such Unvested Company Option shall be cancelled without any payment therefor. Except as set forth in Section 2.02(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, any RCA issued by Parent or the Surviving Company in respect of any Unvested Company Option or Company Restricted Share Award shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and schedules applicable to such Unvested Company Option or Company Restricted Share Award without giving effect to the Transactions, and on the date, and to the extent, that any Unvested Company Option or Company Restricted Share Award would have become vested without giving effect to the Transactions, such corresponding portion of the RCA shall be delivered to the holder of such RCA, net of any applicable withholding taxes, as soon as practicable thereafter.

(d) As of the Effective Time, all Company Share Awards shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Share Award shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the cash payment and/or the RCAs as provided in this Section 2.02. Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of each Share Award informing such holder of the effect of the Merger on such Share Award.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the CICL, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger (“dissenter rights”) in accordance with Section 238 of the CICL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”; holders of Dissenting Shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shareholders”) shall at the Effective Time be cancelled and cease to exist, and each such Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the CICL, except that all Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their dissenter rights in respect of such Shares under Section 238 of the CICL shall thereupon (i) not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) be and be deemed to have been cancelled and cease to exist, as of the Effective Time, in consideration for the right of the holder thereof to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, in the manner provided in Section 2.04.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any objection or dissent to the Merger or demands for appraisal received by the Company, attempted withdrawals of such dissenter rights or demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the CICL and received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ dissenter rights, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any exercise of dissenter rights or any demands for appraisal under the CICL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any exercise of dissenter rights or any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such dissenter rights or any demands or approve any withdrawal of any such dissenter rights or demands.

(c) In the event that any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 238(2) of the CICL, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the Merger on such shareholders pursuant to Section 238(4) of the CICL within two (2) days of the approval of the Merger by shareholders of the Company at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for all payments required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02(b) (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Ordinary Shares and ADSs (other than Excluded Shares) and Vested Company Options, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (or in the case of the Depositary, deliver) or otherwise disseminate to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, and shall specify the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall be effected and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any issued share certificates representing Ordinary Shares (the “Share Certificates”) (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in Section 2.04(c)) and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of, if applicable, a Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.04(c)) and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each registered holder of Ordinary Shares represented by such Share Certificate and each registered holder of Ordinary Shares which are not represented by a Share Certificate (the “Uncertificated Shares”) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Ordinary Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.04(c)) or the number of Uncertificated Shares multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures with the Paying Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (A) the Paying Agent will transmit to the Depositary as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the product of (x) the number of ADSs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) and (y) the Per ADS Merger Consideration, and (B) the Depositary will distribute the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs pro rata to their holdings of ADSs (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares) upon surrender by them of the ADSs. The holders of ADSs shall bear any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and government charges due to or incurred by the Depositary in connection with distribution of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADSs, including applicable ADS cancellation fees, and any such fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Depositary shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of ADSs. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any amount payable in respect of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Ordinary Shares that is not registered in the register of members of the Company, the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Ordinary Shares may be paid to such transferee upon delivery of evidence to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) of such transferee’s entitlement to the relevant Ordinary Shares and to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, to the exclusion of the applicable transferor and evidence that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Lost Certificates. If any Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Share Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay in respect of the Ordinary Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Share Certificate an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares represented by such Share Certificate to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

(d) Untraceable Shareholders. Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be sent to holders of Ordinary Shares who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Paying Agent of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Ordinary Shares will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) such person has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or, (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such person either (x) has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed or, (y) has not been sent to such person because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or, (iii) notice of the Shareholders’ Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered. Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Ordinary Shares who are untraceable who subsequently wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised to contact the Surviving Company.

(e) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, change or readjustment in the ratio of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS or other like change with respect to Shares occurring, or with a record date, on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund, pending its disbursement to the holders of Shares and ADSs, shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company in (a) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (b) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, or (c) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation or certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks acceptable to Parent. Earnings from investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Company.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any income or proceeds thereof or of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the holders of Ordinary Shares, ADSs or Vested Company Options for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall automatically and promptly be delivered to the Surviving Company, and any holders of Ordinary Shares and ADSs (other than Excluded Shares) that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and any holders of Vested Company Options, in each case, who have not theretofore complied with this Article II, shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Ordinary Shares, ADSs or Vested Company Options as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h) No Liability. None of the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of Ordinary Shares in respect of any such Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) or Company Share Awards (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) for which payment was delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent and the Depositary (and any other person that has a payment obligation pursuant to this Agreement), shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement only such amounts that are (1) required to be deducted and withheld pursuant to any provision of Tax Law related to or regarding Taxes with respect to the Company Share Awards, (2) U.S. federal backup withholding Taxes required under Code Section 3406 to the extent a holder of Shares or ADSs does not deliver or cause to be delivered to Parent a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W- 9, as applicable or (3) required as a result of a change in relevant Tax Law or published administrative practice by a taxing authority after the date of this agreement but on or prior to the Closing Date. To the extent that any permitted amounts are deducted, withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary (or other Person), as the case may be, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares, ADSs or Company Share Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary (or other Person), as the case may be and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority. In the event that Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent and the Depositary (or any other person that has a payment obligation pursuant to this Agreement) determine that withholding from the Merger Consideration is required under applicable Law and permitted under the Agreement (other than withholding with respect to the Company Share Awards), Parent shall so notify the Company in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date (or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date if the circumstances giving rise to such withholding obligation or the withholding determination occurs less than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date) to provide the shareholders of the Company with opportunity to provide any form or documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid such withholding.

From and after the Effective Time, (a) no transfers of Ordinary Shares shall be effected in the register of members of the Company, and (b) the holders of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Ordinary Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Share Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or Surviving Company for transfer or any other reason shall be canceled and (except for the Excluded Shares) exchanged for the cash consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall provide notice to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Depositary”) to terminate the amended and restated deposit agreement, dated as of June 30, 2010 between the Company, the Depositary and all Holders and Beneficial Owners of American Depositary Shares evidenced by American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder (the “Deposit Agreement”) in accordance with its terms.

Parent, Merger Sub and the Company respectively agree that the Per Share Merger Consideration represents the fair value of the Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the CICL.

Except (a) as set forth in the section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule that corresponds to a section or subsection of this Article III or any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule (whether or not an explicit cross reference appears) shall be deemed to be disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule and any other representation or warranty made in Article III, in either case, to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure that such information qualifies such section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule or such section or subsection of this Article III, as applicable), or (b) as set forth in the Company SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof (without giving effect to any amendment to any such Company SEC Report filed on or after the date hereof and excluding disclosures in the Company SEC Reports contained in the “Risk Factors” (other than with respect to any factual information regarding non-compliance disclosed therein) or “Forward Looking Statements” sections or any other forward-looking statements or other disclosures to the extent such disclosures are general, non-specific, forward-looking or cautionary in nature, in each case, other than factual information contained therein), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that:

(a) The Company is an exempted company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the Cayman Islands and has the requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease, operate and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.

Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, where such concept is recognized, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties and assets owned, leased, operated or used by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except to the extent such failures to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing has not had or resulted in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) A true and complete list of all Subsidiaries of the Company and any other entities in which any Group Company owns any equity interest, together with (i) the jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary or entity, (ii) the outstanding issued share capital or registered capital, as the case may be, of each such Subsidiary or entity, and (iii) a list of shareholders or other equity holders of, and their respective percentage ownership in, each such Subsidiary or entity, is set forth in Section 3.01(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. There are no other entities in which any Group Company controls or owns, of record or beneficially, any direct or indirect equity or other interest or right (contingent or otherwise) to acquire the same, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a participant in (nor is any part of their businesses conducted through) any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement that is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

The Company has heretofore furnished to Parent a complete and correct copy of the memorandum and articles of association or equivalent organizational documents, each as amended or modified as of the date hereof, of each Group Company. Such memorandum and articles of association or equivalent organizational documents are in full force and effect as of the date hereof. No Group Company is in violation of any of the provisions of its memorandum and articles of association or equivalent organizational documents in any material respect.

No Shares are held by any Group Company.

(ii) The outstanding share capital or registered capital, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and all of the outstanding share capital or registered capital, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary is owned by a Group Company free and clear of all Liens or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable Law, controlled by a Group Company pursuant to the Control Agreements.

(iii) Except as set forth in this Section 3.03(a), there is no share capital or other equity interest in the Company or any options, warrants, convertible debt, other convertible instruments, share appreciation rights, performance units, restricted share units, contingent value rights, “phantom” share units or similar securities or rights that are derivative of, or provide economic benefits based, directly or indirectly, on the value or price of, any share capital of or other equity interest in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any preemptive, conversion, redemption or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to the issued or unissued share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or sell any share capital, or other equity interests in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. All Ordinary Shares subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

There are no commitments or agreements of any character to which any Group Company is bound obligating any Group Company to accelerate or otherwise alter the vesting of any Company Share Award as a result of the Transactions, and each Company Share Award may, by its terms, be treated at the Effective Time as set forth in Section 2.02.

(iv) The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the shareholders of the Company on any matter.

(v) Subject to limitations imposed by applicable Law and the applicable Control Agreements, each Group Company has the unrestricted right to vote, and to receive dividends and distributions on, all equity securities of its Subsidiaries.

(vi) Each grant of Company Share Awards was properly approved by the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee or subcommittee thereof) and issued in compliance with all applicable Laws, and all requirements set forth in the applicable Share Incentive Plan, and the per share exercise price of each Company Option requiring exercise was equal to or greater than the fair market value (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, in the case of each Company Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option”, and within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, in the case of each Company Option awarded to a person subject to U.S. Tax Laws).

(b) No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

(a) The Company agrees that no Group Company and none of the directors or officers of any Group Company shall, and that it shall direct its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any Group Company), not to, in each case, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information in a manner designed to encourage), or take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to its shareholders) that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) enter into, maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information relating to any Group Company or the Transactions to, any person or entity in connection with, or in order to obtain, an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) agree to, approve, adopt, endorse or recommend (or publicly propose to agree to approve, adopt, endorse or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal, or enter into any letter of intent, Contract, commitment or obligation contemplating or otherwise relating to, or consummate, any Acquisition Proposal (in each case, other than to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(c)), or (iv) authorize or permit any of the officers, directors or Representatives of any Group Company to take any action set forth in clauses (a)(i) – (a)(iii) of this Section 6.04. The Company shall notify Parent in writing as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours after the Company attains knowledge) of any proposal or offer, or any request for information or other inquiry or request, that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, specifying (x) the material terms and conditions thereof and providing, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, (y) the identity of the party making such proposal or offer or inquiry or contact, and (z) whether the Company has determined to provide confidential information to such person. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, inquiry, contact or request and of any material changes in the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, inquiry, contact or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof) and providing, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements. The Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Third Party which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent, or release any Third Party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a), but subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 6.04, prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, the Company Board may directly or indirectly, including through the Company’s Representatives, (i) contact any Third Party that has made an unsolicited, written, bona fide proposal or offer regarding an Acquisition Proposal that was not initiated or solicited in breach of Section 6.04(a) solely in order to clarify the terms and conditions thereof so as to assess whether such proposal or offer constitutes or is reasonably expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and (ii) furnish information to, and enter into discussions with, such Third Party to the extent the Special Committee has (A) determined in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor who shall be an internationally recognized investment banking firm and outside legal counsel, as applicable) that such proposal or offer constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, and that, in light of such Superior Proposal, failure to furnish such information to or enter into discussions with such Third Party would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (B) obtained from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement); provided that the Company shall provide written notice to Parent prior to taking any action set forth in clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of this Section 6.04 and shall concurrently make available to Parent any material information concerning any Group Company that is provided to any such person and that was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 6.04(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or propose (publicly or otherwise) to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation (any of such actions, a “Change in the Company Recommendation”) or adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, or propose (publicly or otherwise) to adopt, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, provided that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board or the Special Committee pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication with respect to an Acquisition Proposal which did not result from any breach of this Section 6.04(c) shall not be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation, nor (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, Contract, commitment or obligation with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to compliance by the Company and the Company Board with this Section 6.04, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, if the Company has received an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and the Special Committee determines, in its good faith judgment, upon advice by a financial advisor who shall be an internationally recognized investment banking firm and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and failure to make a Change in the Company Recommendation would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, effect a Change in the Company Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal but only if:

(a) The memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, advancement of expenses and indemnification than are set forth in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company in effect as of the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors or officers of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by Law.

(b) The Surviving Company shall maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company as of the date hereof with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, including acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (the parties covered thereby, the “Indemnified Parties”); provided, however, that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable, and provided, further, that in no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) more than an amount per year equal to 250% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance. In addition, the Company may and, at Parent’s request, the Company shall, purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company. If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations of Parent or Surviving Company under this Section 6.05(b) shall terminate.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.05, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall comply with all of the Company’s obligations, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) the present and former officers and directors thereof against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Damages”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with (i) the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to or at the Effective Time, to the extent provided under the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ respective organizational and governing documents or agreements in effect on the date hereof (true and complete copies of which shall have been delivered to Parent prior to the date hereof) and to the fullest extent permitted by the CICL or any other applicable Law, including the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions or arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions and actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any such person; provided that this Section 6.05(c) is not intended to confer any new or additional rights on any such person, and the indemnification and other obligations of the Company set forth above shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective organizational and governing documents in effect as of the date hereof, or any agreements set forth on Section 6.05(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(d) A person seeking indemnification in accordance with Section 6.05(c) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Surviving Company to prevent the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries from being materially and adversely prejudiced by late notice. The right of the Surviving Company (or a Subsidiary nominated by it), if any, to participate in and/or assume the defense of any Action in respect of which indemnification is sought under Section 6.05(c) shall be determined in accordance with the applicable agreement or document providing for such indemnification.

(e) In the event the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.05 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.05.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.05 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

(a) any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions;

(b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions;

(c) any Actions commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company or the knowledge of Parent, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed by such party pursuant to any of such party’s representations and warranties contained herein, or that relate to such party’s ability to consummate the Transactions; and

(d) if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of such party set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 not to be satisfied;

together, in each case, with a copy of any such notice, communication or Action; provided, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall not (A) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement, (B) be deemed to amend or supplement the Company Disclosure Schedule, or (C) limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall as promptly as practicable make its respective filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to the Transactions with or to each Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of the antitrust or competition Laws that is specified by Parent in writing (the “Specified Filings”), and coordinate and cooperate fully with the other parties in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection therewith. In addition, each of the parties hereto shall (i) notify the other parties as promptly as practicable of any communication (whether oral or written) it or any of its affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, (ii) permit the other parties to review in advance, and consult with the other parties on (and obtain the prior written consent of Parent with respect to), any proposed filing or written submission by such party or any communication (whether oral or written) voluntarily initiated by such party (not in response to any inquiry or request for information from any Governmental Authority) with or to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, (iii) use reasonable best efforts to consult with the other parties, to the extent practicable and permitted by such Governmental Authority, in advance of any other communication (whether oral or written) with or to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and (iv) to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at any meeting or conference with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions that was requested by such Governmental Authority and obtain the prior written consent of Parent before initiating or voluntarily requesting any such meeting or conference. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor Parent or Merger Sub shall make any filings or submissions with or to, or seek any approvals from, any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of antitrust or competition Laws other than the Specified Filings.

(b) The Company and Parent shall (i) as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, cooperate to prepare the notice pursuant to Exon-Florio to be used to seek the CFIUS Approval, (ii) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to CFIUS information or documents required by CFIUS or necessary, proper or advisable to permit the consummation of the transaction, (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, CFIUS, (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, permit the other parties to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, CFIUS, and (v) if permitted by CFIUS, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; provided that, in any event, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in advance of submitting or providing any information, documents or communications to, or agreeing to or scheduling any meeting or conference with, CFIUS. If requested by Parent in writing in connection with obtaining the CFIUS Approval, the Company shall, or shall commit to, hold separate, restructure, reorganize, sell, divest, dispose of or make subject to operational or other restrictions any of its businesses, services or assets prior to, at or following the Closing (provided that any such action shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing and any such action taken prior to Closing shall be terminable in the event that the Closing does not occur or this Agreement is terminated); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates to take or commit to take any such actions or otherwise take or commit to any other action that limits its freedom of action (or the freedom of action of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) with respect to, or its ability (or the ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to retain, any of its businesses, services or assets (or any businesses, services or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the matters covered in this Section 6.07, Parent shall, after consulting with the Company and considering the Company’s views in good faith, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, take the lead in communicating with any Governmental Authority and developing strategy for responding to any investigation or other inquiry by any Governmental Authority related to the Transactions, and, subject to its obligations under Section 6.07, shall make all final decisions with respect to any requests that may be made by, or any actions, consents, undertakings, approvals, or waivers that may be sought by or from, any Governmental Authority related to the Transactions, including determining the manner in which to contest or otherwise respond, by litigation or otherwise, to objections to, or proceedings or other actions by any Governmental Authority related to the Transactions.

(d) Each party hereto shall, upon request by any other party, furnish such other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective affiliates to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the Transactions.

(e) Upon the written request of Parent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to or obtain consent from, as applicable, the counterparty to any Contract set forth in Section 3.05(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will consult with Parent prior to seeking any such consent; provided that no Group Company shall be required prior to the Effective Time to pay any consent or other similar fee to obtain the consent, waiver or approval of any person.

(f) Not later than seven (7) days after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule that sets forth the following information with respect to each Company Share Award outstanding as of the date hereof: (i) the name of the Company Share Award recipient; (ii) the particular Share Incentive Plan pursuant to which such Company Share Award was granted; (iii) the number and type of Shares subject to such Company Share Award; (iv) the exercise or purchase price of such Company Share Award; (v) the date on which such Company Share Award was granted; (vi) the vesting schedule of such Company Share Award; and (vii) the date on which such Company Share Award expires.

To the extent requested by Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, on the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent duly signed resignations, which shall include a waiver of any claims against the Group Companies in respect of such resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of the directors of any Group Company designated by Parent.

Except as may be required by applicable Law, the press release announcing the execution of this Agreement shall be issued only in such form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, having any communication with the press (whether or not for attribution), making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions and shall not, without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld), issue any such press release, have any such communication, make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call prior to such consultation; provided, however, that, in the event a party is required by applicable Law to make any press release, communication, other public statement, press conference or conference call, as the case may be, such party may do so without Parent’s (if the Company is the disclosing Party) or the Company’s (if Parent or Merger Sub is the disclosing party) prior written consent provided such party (i) individually notifies Parent (if the Company is the disclosing Party) or the Company (if Parent or Merger Sub is the disclosing party) of such press release, communication, other public statement, press conference or conference call to the extent legally permissible, (ii) only discloses information in respect of this Agreement and the Transactions to the extent required by applicable Law, upon the advice of outside counsel, and (iii) incorporate all reasonable comments of Parent (if the Company is the disclosing party) or the Company (if Parent or Merger Sub is the disclosing party), to the extent legally permissible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.10 shall not apply to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 6.04(c).

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the delisting by the Surviving Company from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to any of the Transactions, the parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary (including, in the case of the Company and the Company Board, grant all necessary approvals) so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement, including all actions to eliminate or lawfully minimize the effects of such Takeover Statute on the Merger and the other Transactions.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take the actions set forth in Section 6.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
