Agreement (the “Verizon Disclosure Schedule”) (it being agreed that
disclosure of any item in any section of the Verizon Disclosure Schedule shall
be deemed disclosure with respect to any other subclause of this Clause 6.2 to
which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face without
any independent knowledge of the reader), Verizon and Bidco jointly and
severally represent and warrant to Fleetmatics as follows:

Delaware and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to
own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing
as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or
operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or, where relevant,

not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or
materially impair the ability of Verizon to consummate the Acquisition and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)               Corporate Authority Relative to this
Agreement; No Violation.

(i)                 Each of Verizon and Bidco has all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, with

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
the Acquisition, other than the filing of the required documents in connection
with the Scheme with, and the receipt of the required approval of the Scheme
by, the High Court. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Verizon and Bidco and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership, reorganisation, moratorium or
other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’

applicable Law, for the consummation by Verizon and Bidco of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, except for such authorisations, consents,
approvals or filings (I) that, if not obtained or made, would not reasonably
be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially impair
the ability of Verizon to consummate the Acquisition and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (II) as may arise as a result
of facts or circumstances relating to Fleetmatics or its Affiliates or Laws or
contracts binding on Fleetmatics or its Affiliates.

(iii)             The execution and delivery by Verizon and Bidco
of this Agreement and (in the case of Verizon) the Expenses Reimbursement
Agreement do not, and, except as described in Clause 6.2(b)(ii), the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the
provisions hereof will not (A) result in any violation or breach of, or
default or change of control (with or without notice or lapse of time, or
both) under, or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination,
modification, cancellation or acceleration of any material obligation or to
the loss of a material benefit under any loan, guarantee of indebtedness or
credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement, contract,
instrument, permit, concession, franchise, right or license binding upon

the ability of Verizon to consummate the Acquisition and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (II) as may arise as a result
of facts or circumstances relating to Fleetmatics or its Affiliates or Laws or
contracts binding on Fleetmatics or its Affiliates.

(c)               Investigations; Litigation.  As of the date
hereof, (i) there is no investigation or review pending (or, to the knowledge
of Verizon, threatened) by any Relevant Authority with respect to Verizon or
Bidco or any of its properties, rights or assets, and (ii) there are no
claims, actions, suits or proceedings pending (or, to the knowledge of
