NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I
MERGER

1.1 Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the plan of merger and the articles of merger to be prepared by the Parties (the “Plan of Merger” and the “Articles of Merger” respectively), and in accordance with the applicable provisions the BVI Act, Intermediate, as a constituent party for the purpose of the BVI Act, and Merger Sub, as a constituent party for the purpose of the BVI Act, shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Intermediate as the surviving entity for the purpose of the BVI Act, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Intermediate shall continue as the surviving company. Intermediate, as the surviving company after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Company” (provided, that references to Intermediate for periods after the Effective Time shall include the Surviving Company).

1.2 Effective Time. Intermediate and Merger Sub shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Articles of Merger and any other documents required to be filed pursuant to the BVI Act with the British Virgin Islands Registrar of Corporate Affairs, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BVI Act (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be specified in the Articles of Merger, being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Articles of Merger and the applicable provisions of the BVI Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time:

(a) assets of every description, including choses in action and the business of each of Intermediate and Merger Sub, immediately vests in Intermediate; and

(b) Intermediate is liable for all claims, debts, liabilities and obligations of each of Intermediate and Merger Sub.

1.4 Merger Consideration. As consideration for the Merger, MICT shall deliver to the Intermediate Shareholder, an aggregate of 109,946,914 shares of MICT Common Stock (the “Shareholder Merger Consideration”), with each share of MICT Common Stock valued at the MICT Common Stock Price. A capitalization table showing the breakdown of the shareholdings of MICT on a fully diluted basis immediately before and after the issuance of the Shareholder Merger Consideration, including all surviving options, warrants, convertible notes and other convertible instruments that may remain or become outstanding obligations of MICT at the Closing, including those issuable upon conversion or exercise of any of the securities specified in Section ‎5.2(b)(ii) below, is attached as Schedule ‎1.4 (the “Cap Table”). Any equity financing that MICT may undertake prior to the completion of the Merger in order to meet its obligation under Section ‎1.14 below, to have net unrestricted cash equal to at least the Minimum Net Cash, shall not dilute or otherwise adversely affect the GFH Shareholders (including the ParagonEx Sellers) in any manner.

1.5 Organizational Documents of Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Intermediate, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Surviving Company.

1.6 Reserved.

1.7 Effect of Merger on Issued Securities of Intermediate. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of MICT, Intermediate or Merger Sub:

(a) Intermediate Shares. Subject to Section 1.7(b) below, all Intermediate Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Shareholder Merger Consideration, with the Intermediate Shareholder being entitled to receive the Shareholder Merger Consideration, without interest, upon delivery of the Transmittal Documents in accordance with Section 1.9. As of the Effective Time, the holders of certificates previously evidencing Intermediate Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as provided herein or by Law.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for securities of the Surviving Company is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to the Surviving Company or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for securities of Surviving Company in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Surviving Company or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, none of the Surviving Company, MICT or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(e) Dissenter Rights. In accordance with Section 179 of the BVI Act, no dissenter rights would be available to holders of shares of Intermediate Shares who are dissenting from the Merger.

1.8 Effect of Merger on Merger Sub Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger all of the shares of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number of shares of the Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company.

1.9 Surrender of Intermediate Securities.

(a) All securities issued as Shareholder Merger Consideration upon the surrender of Intermediate Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities.

(b) The Intermediate Shareholder shall be entitled to receive the Shareholder Merger Consideration as consideration for the cancellation of the Intermediate Shares represented by the Intermediate Certificate(s), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but subject to the delivery to MICT of the following items (collectively, the “Transmittal Documents”): (i) the Intermediate Certificate(s) for its Intermediate Shares, and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by MICT in respect of the Intermediate Shares it shall hold at the Effective Time; and (ii) a counterpart to a customary Lock-Up Agreement with respect to the MICT Common Stock in a form to be mutually agreed to among the Parties prior to the Closing (“Lock-Up Agreement”), and (iii) a duly executed counterpart to the Registration Rights Agreement. Until so surrendered, each Intermediate Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration attributable to such Intermediate Certificate.

1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed MICT Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, MICT shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (“Lost Certificate Affidavit”), such securities, as may be required by MICT; provided, however, that MICT may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Company with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.11 Section 368 Reorganization. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The Parties hereby (a) adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations, (b) agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations, and (c) agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

1.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub as required by the BVI Act, the officers and directors of MICT and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

1.13 Sunrise Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that after the Closing, the board of MICT shall take all necessary action to increase the number of shares of MICT Common Stock to such number of shares as the board reasonably determines will be sufficient for it to, if necessary, issue a number of shares equivalent in value to any potential claim for compensation under the letter agreement between MICT, Sunrise Securities LLC (“Sunrise Securities”) and Xxxxx Securities (“Xxxxx Securities”), dated March 13, 2017 (the “Sunrise Agreement”) that is brought by Sunrise Securities, Xxxxx Securities or their respective Affiliates against any of MICT, GFH or their respective Subsidiaries. In the event any such claim is finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in favor of Xxxxx Securities, Sunrise Securities or any of their Affiliates, MICT shall issue such shares of MICT Common Stock to GFH. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares of MICT Common Stock issued to GFH exceed seven percent (7%) of the issued and outstanding shares of MICT Common Stock immediately following the issuance of (i) any compensation shares adjudicated in favor of Sunrise Securities, Xxxxx Securities or their Affiliates, and (ii) the compensation shares to GFH as contemplated herein above.

1.14 Stadium Note. If, at any time following the Closing, the principal amount of the Stadium Note, any interest thereon and any other payments due in connection therewith (collectively, the “Total Stadium Note Amount”), or any part thereof, is either (a) converted into shares of MICT stock of any class (or into securities exchangeable for such shares) or (b) paid or repaid by MICT or by any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (or otherwise at MICT’s direct or indirect expense), then MICT shall issue to the ParagonEx Sellers, at no cost, such number of additional shares of MICT Common Stock as necessary to bring (a) the total value of the stake beneficially owned by the ParagonEx Sellers in MICT immediately following the issuance of such additional shares (taking into account all conversion shares underlying the Stadium Note, if converted, or a diminishment in MICT’s equity value in an amount equal to the Total Stadium Note Amount dollar-for-dollar, if repaid) to equal (b) the total value of the shares beneficially owned by the ParagonEx Sellers in MICT had the Stadium Note been forfeited and cancelled without any impact on MICT immediately prior to their conversion or repayment – in each case based on the MICT Common Stock Price and on a fully diluted basis. Such anti-dilution shares shall be allocated among the ParagonEx Sellers pro-rata in accordance with their respective holdings of Purchased Securities, as defined in the ParagonEx Share Exchange Agreement.

1.15 Minimum Net Cash. At Closing, following the closing of the PIPE Investment and any other financing transactions, the completion of the Related Acquisitions and after giving effect to the payment of the consideration therefor and after payment or deduction of (i) all costs and expenses of the Transactions (other than the ParagonEx Cash Consideration, as described in this Section 1.14), (ii) all brokerage and placement agent fees that may be (or have been) incurred in raising capital by or on behalf of MICT, any of its Subsidiaries or Intermediate through the Closing Date, and (iii) any MICT Indebtedness, MICT shall have net unrestricted cash from all sources of at least Twenty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($27,500,000) (the “Minimum Net Cash”).

1.16 Effect of Merger on MICT Options. In connection with the Merger, the MICT board of directors shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that the vesting of each unexpired and unexercised MICT option (the “MICT Options”) shall be accelerated in full effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.15. At the Effective Time, all MICT Options that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Closing, and for a period of at least fifteen months from the Closing Date (as defined below), any and all equity incentive plans of MICT, including but not limited to the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and any registration statement(s) on Form S-8 or otherwise relating to the shares underlying the MICT Options issuable thereunder, shall remain in effect. At the Effective time, any restriction on the exercise of any MICT Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability and other provisions of such MICT Options shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that the vesting of all such options shall be fully accelerated, and they will become fully exercisable as of the Effective Time; and provided further that notwithstanding the termination of the employment or directorship of any optionholder, each MICT Option shall expire on the 15-month anniversary from the Closing Date, and to the extent provided under the terms of any MICT Option, such MICT Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, dividend or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction.

All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any appellate court thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement after the Closing shall also require the prior written consent of MICT.
