Merger Agreement
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock of the Issuer issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Common Stock held by the Issuer or any of the Reporting Persons and their affiliates (Cancelled Shares) and Dissenting Shares) will be cancelled and extinguished, and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $4.80, without interest thereon (the Merger Consideration). All Cancelled Shares will be cancelled and shall cease to exist without consideration in exchange therefor. Additionally, at the Effective Time, each:
(i) | Stock Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become immediately vested and converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such Stock Option, and (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, less any taxes required to be withheld (provided, however, that any Stock Option for which its per share exercise price is greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled and terminated at the Effective Time for no consideration); |
(ii) | Company RSU Award (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time but which have not settled into shares of Common Stock shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock otherwise deliverable in settlement of such vested Company RSU Award (or portion thereof), less any taxes required to be withheld; |
(iii) | Company RSU Award (or portion thereof) that is unvested, outstanding and unsettled immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the unfunded, unsecured right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Merger Consideration (less any taxes required to be withheld), subject to the holders satisfaction of any time-based vesting terms (including any accelerated vesting in connection with a termination of service) that applied with respect to the underlying Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. |
The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to: (i) Company Stockholder Approval; (ii) Majority of the Minority Approval; (ii) expiration or termination of any waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; and (iii) the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger.
The Issuer has made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and has agreed to customary covenants, including those regarding the operation of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. The parties have also agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger.

Commitment Letter
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. V99, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent or you) has advised Samuel T. Chen, an individual resident of The Republic of China, H.P. Jin, an individual resident of California, and Digital Mobile Venture Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (collectively, the Commitment Parties), that Parent plans to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Telenav, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Borrower), by merger of Parents wholly-owned subsidiary, Telenav99, Inc., a Delaware corporation (MergerCo) with and into Borrower, with Borrower as the surviving corporation, in each case pursuant to a Merger Agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in a manner not materially adverse to the Commitment Parties, the Merger Agreement; the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Merger Transactions and, together with the transactions contemplated by the Annex 1 (the Term Sheet), including without limitation, the funding of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, the Transactions). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that (a) any decrease in the purchase price shall not be materially adverse to the Commitment Parties so long as any such decrease is applied ratably to reduce the aggregate amount of the Credit Facilities and (b) any increase in the purchase price shall not be materially adverse to the Commitment Parties so long as the amount of the Credit Facilities are not increased without the Commitment Parties consent. Capitalized terms used herein without being herein defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement or in the Term Sheet, as applicable.
2. In order to finance the Merger Transactions, the Commitment Parties hereby commit, jointly and severally, to provide a senior, unsecured a term loan facility (the Credit Facilities), in an aggregate principal amount equal to either (a) the sum of (i) the entire Merger Consideration (which on the date hereof is anticipated to equal $250,000,000 less any amounts that would have been payable in respect of the Cancelled Shares held by the Purchaser Parties)), (ii) all fees and expenses associated with the Transactions incurred by Parent, MergerCo or any of their respective Affiliates and required to be paid on the Closing Date by such party, and (iii) all amounts necessary to repay or prepay indebtedness required under the Merger Agreement to be repaid or prepaid on the Closing Date (such sum, the Commitment Amount), or (b) $3,5000,000, in the event the Parent Termination Fee is payable to Borrower under the Merger Agreement in accordance with a valid termination thereof (the Termination Amount), on the terms of the Term Sheet and subject solely to the satisfaction of the Exclusive Funding Conditions.

3. The Commitment Parties may arrange a syndicate of other financial institutions identified by the Commitment Parties in consultation with Parent (together with the Commitment Parties, the Lenders) that will participate in the Credit Facilities; provided, however, that the addition of such financial institutions shall not result in a reduction or termination of the commitments provided by the Commitment Parties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Financing Documentation or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the Transactions, the Commitment Parties commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Credit Facilities and the commencement or the completion of the syndication of the Credit Facilities shall not constitute a condition precedent to the funding or availability, as applicable, of all the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date.
4. The closing and funding of the Credit Facilities, solely with respect to the Commitment Amount, is subject solely to the satisfaction by Borrower or waiver by Parent of all conditions to closing set forth in Section 7.1 (solely with respect to Borrower ) and 7.2 of the Merger Agreement (the Exclusive Funding Conditions). Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, or the definitive documentation governing the Credit Facilities (collectively, the Financing Documentation) or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Merger Transactions to the contrary, (i) the only representations made by Borrower, the making of which shall be a condition to availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, shall be (A) such of the representations made by Borrower in the Merger Agreement as are material to the interests of Commitment Parties, but only to the extent that Purchaser Parties have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate their obligations under the Merger Agreement (in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) as a result of a breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement (collectively, the Specified Merger Agreement Representations) and (B) the Specified Representations and (ii) the terms of the Financing Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Section 4 are satisfied or waived by the Commitment Parties (this Section 4 and the provisions herein shall be referred to as the Certain Funds Provisions).
5. Each of the Commitment Parties hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has the financial capacity to fulfill its commitment under this Commitment Letter, and that all funds necessary for the Commitment Party to fulfill its commitment under this Commitment Letter shall be available to the Commitment Party for so long as this Commitment Letter shall remain in effect; (ii) it has the requisite power and authority to enter into and deliver this Commitment Letter and to perform its obligations hereunder; (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Commitment Letter by the Commitment Party has been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary organizational action by it; (iv) this Commitment Letter has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Commitment Party and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Commitment Party, enforceable against such Commitment Party in accordance with its terms except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors rights and subject to general principles of equity; and (v) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any governmental authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Commitment Letter by such Commitment Party have been obtained or made, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Commitment Letter.

6.

The Commitment Documents are delivered to Parent solely for its benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity, and nothing in this Commitment Letter is intended to confer any rights upon any other person or entity as to Commitment Parties commitments hereunder. For purposes of clarification, in the event of Commitment Parties failure to fund despite Borrowers and Guarantors satisfaction of the conditions of the Certain Funds Provisions applicable to them, Borrowers sole remedy will be to seek payment of the Parent Termination Fee.
7. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Borrower is an express third party beneficiary of this Commitment Letter and the other Commitment Documents and shall be entitled to enforce this Commitment Letter (including, without limitation, with respect to any remedies provided for in Section 8) and the other Commitment Documents against the Commitment Parties as though a party hereto.
8. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of the Commitment Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the parties hereto (including, without limitation, the Commitment Parties failure to fund the Credit Facilities following satisfaction of the Exclusive Funding Conditions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto (and any third party beneficiaries) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate forms of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of the Commitment Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Commitment Documents in any court of competent jurisdiction, in each case in accordance with this Section 8, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under the terms of the applicable Commitment Documents, at law, or in equity. Each party hereto accordingly agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party under the Commitment Documents in accordance with the terms of this Section 8. Each party hereto further agrees that no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing, or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
November 2, 2020

9. The Commitment Parties obligation to fund the Commitment Amount will terminate and expire upon the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
10. The Commitment Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect hereto or thereto. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court (in each case) sitting in the County of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Commitment Documents. Service of any process, summons, notice or document in any suit, action or proceeding may be made by registered mail addressed to Parent or Commitment Parties, as appropriate, and each party hereto waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction a party hereto is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY TO THIS COMMITMENT LETTER BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION OR THE CREDIT FACILITIES, OR WITH OUR DELIVERY OF THE COMMITMENT LETTER AND RELATED DOCUMENTS.

13. This Commitment Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement with respect to the subject matter herein, subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith the Financing Documentation, but the negotiation of the Financing Documentation is not a condition precedent to the funding of the Credit Facilities by the Commitment Parties on the Closing Date.
