AGREEMENT

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1.3 The Share Contribution.

(a) Treatment of Company Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, on the Closing Date:

(i) Company Shares. Each Contributor agrees to contribute, transfer, assign and deliver to Parent at the Closing, and Parent agrees to accept and receive from such Contributor, all rights, title and interest in and to all Company Shares owned by such Contributor as of immediately prior to the Closing (taking into effect the Convertible Debt Conversion), free and clear of all Encumbrances, in exchange for the right to receive at the Closing, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such Contributor is entitled to receive as set forth in the Spreadsheet, to be issued by Parent by way of a capital increase. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms used in this Agreement in reference to the Transactions contemplated herein shall have no influence on the legal characteristics of the Transaction described in this Section 1.3 whereby Parent receives the Company Shares in exchange for the issuance by Parent to Contributors of Parent Common Stock representing the capital of Parent. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is the intention of any French resident individuals to benefit from the favorable tax regime (régime de faveur) as described more fully in Article 150-0-B of the French Tax Code.

(ii) Exchange. On the Closing Date, upon receipt by the Parent of all Company Shares, Parent shall provide an executed instruction letter to its transfer agent directing such transfer agent to issue to each Contributor the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such Contributor pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i).

(iii) Legends. Any certificates or book-entry entitlements representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) shall bear the following legend (the “Legend”) to the extent applicable (along with any other legends that may be required under Applicable Law):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(b) Treatment of Company Options.

(i) As of the Closing, all Company Options that are then outstanding shall, by virtue of the Closing, be converted into options relating to shares of Parent Common Stock upon substantially similar terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the Closing (each, a “Parent Option”) except that (A) each such Parent Option shall relate to that whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and (B) the exercise price per share for the Parent Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect as of the date hereof divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent). Upon conversion of the Company Options, each holder of Company Options outstanding as of the Closing shall be entitled to hold a number of Parent Options as set forth in the Spreadsheet.

(ii) For purposes of the calculation of the exercise price of the Parent Options described in clause (B) of Section 1.3(b)(i), the exercise price per share of the applicable Company Option shall be expressed, immediately prior to the calculation described in such clause (B), in U.S. Dollars, based on the dollar-euro conversion rate published by the European Central Bank at the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date and shall thereafter be denominated and payable in U.S. Dollars.

(iii) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery with respect to the Parent Options. Within five (5) Business Days following the Closing, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Options and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as such Parent Options remain outstanding.

(iv) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause each holder of a Company Option to waive any rights to accelerated vesting of Company Options (including rights that are contingent on a subsequent termination of employment or service) which otherwise may be triggered by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood that such rights shall remain in effect with respect to any subsequent change in control transaction with respect to Parent.

(c) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock occurring after the date hereof

and prior to the Closing, all references herein to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the Parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(d) Fractional Shares. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock for which a Contributor’s Company Shares are exchanged pursuant to this ARTICLE 1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which any Contributor would otherwise be entitled (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder), such Contributor shall receive from Parent an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the average closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ over the ten (10) Business Day period beginning on the Closing Date. The Parties understand and agree that receipt of such cash in lieu of fractional shares is not bargained for consideration under this Agreement.

Section 1.4 Lock-Up Agreement. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued to the Contributors pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i), together with any additional shares of Parent Common Stock that may be issued from time to time in respect of such shares actually issued, including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), shall be subject to the restrictions and obligations set forth in this Section 1.4. For the avoidance of doubt, dividends declared on Parent Common Stock in the form of cash or property (other than shares of Parent Common Stock) shall not be subject to the restrictions and obligations set forth in this Section 1.4 and shall be distributed to the Contributors concurrently with their distribution to the other stockholders of Parent.

(a) No Contributor shall, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Parent, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any Lock-Up Shares or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) relating to the Lock-Up Shares (each of the foregoing referred to as a “Disposition”) for a period from the date hereof until such restrictions and obligations have lapsed, as provided in the following sentence. The restrictions and obligations on the Lock-Up Shares set forth in this Section 1.4 shall lapse and be of no further force and effect on the date that is 180 calendar days following the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up End Date”). The foregoing restrictions are expressly intended to preclude each Contributor from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition even if the securities would be disposed of by someone other than the Contributor. “Hedging Transaction” means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Lock-Up Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Contributor may transfer any or all of the Lock-Up Shares (A) to an immediate family member or a trust formed for the direct or indirect benefit of such Contributor or an immediate family member of such Contributor, (B) by gift, will or intestacy, (C) to any

corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which are held by such Contributor or the immediate family of such Contributor, (D) if such Contributor is a corporation, partnership or other business entity (1) to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that is a controlled or managed affiliate of such Contributor or (2) as part of a disposition, transfer or distribution by such Contributor to its equity holders, partners, members or affiliates or any of its affiliates’ directors, officers and employees or (E) if such Contributor is a trust, to a trustee or beneficiary of the trust; provided, however, that, in each such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Lock-Up Shares subject to the provisions of this Section 1.4, and there shall be no further transfer of such Lock-Up Shares except in accordance with this Section 1.4. For purposes of the foregoing, “immediate family” means any relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, no more remote than a first cousin.

(b) Without limiting the restrictions or obligations in this Section 1.4, any Disposition by any Contributor shall remain at all times subject to applicable securities laws, including without limitation the resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(c) Parent may place an appropriate restrictive legend on the stock certificates representing the Lock-Up Shares issued to the Contributor to indicate that such shares are subject to the terms of this Section 1.4. Parent agrees that it will (or will instruct the transfer agent for Parent to) promptly remove such restrictive legend upon the earlier to occur of (1) the Lock-Up End Date or (2) the termination of this Section 1.4 pursuant to its terms or as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement. Parent may, and each Contributor shall, with respect to any Lock-Up Shares, cause the transfer agent for Parent to note stop transfer instructions with respect to the Lock-Up Shares on the transfer books and records of Parent.

(d) This Section 1.4 shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of:

(i) immediately prior to the consummation of (1) any acquisition or purchase from Parent by any Person or Group of a 50% or more interest in the total outstanding voting securities of Parent, (2) any merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange or similar transaction involving Parent pursuant to which the stockholders of Parent immediately preceding such transaction will hold securities representing less than 50% of the total outstanding voting power of the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction (or parent entity of such surviving or resulting entity), (3) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, exclusive license or disposition of assets (including capital stock or other ownership interests in subsidiaries) representing 50% or more of the aggregate fair market value of the consolidated assets of Parent and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (4) any spin-off, spin-out, split-up, carve-out or similar event pursuant to which assets representing 50% or more of either the aggregate fair market value of the assets of the Company as of the Closing Date or the business of the Company as of the Closing Date will be transferred in one or more transactions; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Contributor shall be entitled to vote on such transaction, enter into related support agreements, and otherwise support such transaction if he, she or it so chooses;

(ii) immediately prior to the consummation of any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or Group beneficially owning securities representing 50% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Parent; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Contributor will be entitled to submit Lock-Up Shares for such tender offer or exchange offer if he or she so chooses; provided, further, that if such tender offer or exchange offer is not subsequently closed, the Lock-Up Shares are not accepted for purchase, or the Contributor otherwise withdraws such shares from such tender offer or exchange offer, then any Lock-Up Shares submitted for such tender offer or exchange offer shall again become subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.4; or

(iii) (1) the filing of a petition by or against Parent under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Reform Act, Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, or under any similar law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, (2) appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of or for all or any part of the assets or property of Parent, or (3) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors by Parent.

Section 1.5 No Liability. No Party shall be liable to any Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Applicable Law.

Section 1.6 Tax Consequences. The Parties intend that (a) the Share Contribution qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, (b) this Agreement constitutes a plan of reorganization, (c) Parent, the Company and each of the Contributors will be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and (d) the transaction qualifies as a contribution eligible to the favorable tax regime (régime de faveur) set out in Article 150-0-B of the French Tax Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”), and no Party shall take any action inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representations or warranties to the Company or to any Contributor regarding the Tax treatment of the Share Contribution, or any of the Tax consequences to the Company or any Contributor of this Agreement, the Share Contribution or the other Transactions or the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and the Contributors acknowledge that the Company and the Contributors are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Share Contribution and the other Transactions and the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 1.7 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the applicable Contributor when due, and such Contributor shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.

Section 1.8 Withholding. Each of Parent and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any issuances of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement to any Contributor such amounts in shares of Parent Common Stock as Parent or the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such issuances under the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid or issued, as applicable, to such Persons in respect to which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 1.9 French Legal and Tax Characterization. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Share Contribution shall be characterized as a contribution of stock (apport de titres de capital), as such transaction is defined under French Applicable Law, for all French legal and Tax purposes.

Meeting and at the Closing, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not false or misleading.

If any event relating to the Company occurs, or if the Company becomes aware of any information, that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then the Company shall promptly inform Parent thereof and shall cooperate fully with Parent in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to Parent’s stockholders.

(b) The Contributors and the Company shall deliver to Parent the Company Audited Financial Statements for fiscal year 2015 as promptly as practicable after the date hereof but in any event before the Closing Date.

(c) The Company shall, and the Contributors shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with Parent in the preparation and delivery of the Proxy Statement and provide, and require its Representatives to provide, Parent and its Representatives with all true, correct and complete information regarding the Company (including the Company Audited Financial Statements) that is required by Applicable Law to be included in the Proxy Statement or reasonably requested by Parent to be included in the Proxy Statement.

Parent shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Parents’ Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all Applicable Law.

(b) Parent agrees that, subject to Section 6.5(c): (i) the Parent Board shall recommend that the holders of Parent Common Stock vote to approve the Parent Common Stock Issuance and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the timeframe set forth in Section 6.5(a) above, (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement that the Parent Board recommends that Parent’s stockholders vote to approve the Parent Common Stock Issuance (such recommendation of the Parent Board being referred to as the

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.5(b), at any time prior to the approval of the Parent Common Stock Issuance by the stockholders of Parent by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote (including, without limitation, in response to an Intervening Event or receipt by Parent of a Superior Offer), the Parent Board may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to the Company or the Contributors or recommend any Acquisition Transaction (collectively a “Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change”) if, but only if, (i) the Parent Board determines in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation would reasonably be likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (ii) each of the Company and the Contributors receives prompt written notice from Parent confirming that the Parent Board intends to change its recommendation at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the Parent Board Recommendation being withdrawn, withheld, amended or modified in a manner adverse to the Company and the Contributors, containing (A) in the case of any action intended to be taken in circumstances involving a Superior Offer, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Offer, including the identity of the Person making such offer (and attaching the most current and complete version of any written agreement or other document relating thereto) or (B) if such reasons are related to an Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event and (iii) the Company does not make, within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such written notification, an offer that (A) in the case of any action intended to be taken in circumstances involving a Superior Offer, the Parent Board determines in good faith is at least as favorable to the stockholders of Parent from a financial point of view as such Superior Offer, taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Superior Offer, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation (and expected timing of consummation relative to that included in the proposal by the Company and the Contributors to amend the terms of this Agreement) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Offer shall require a new written notification from Parent under this Section 6.5(c)) or (B) in the case of any action intended to be taken in circumstances related to an Intervening Event, the Parent Board determines in good faith that such offer obviates the need for taking such action. Parent agrees that, during any five-Business Day period referred to in this Section 6.5(c)(iii), Parent and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with the Company and its Representatives (if the Company requests to so negotiate) regarding any revisions proposed by the Company to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) The Parent’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 6.5(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the Parent Board Recommendation or any Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent or the Parent Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of Parent a position as contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act (other than Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act), (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Parent if Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Parent under Applicable Law, and (iii) making a “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that (A) in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the Parent Board reaffirms the Parent Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement; (B) in the case of clause (iii), any such disclosure or public statement made pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f)(3) shall be deemed to be a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the Parent Board reaffirms the Parent Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within ten (10) Business Days of such disclosure or public statement; and (C) Parent shall not affect a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 6.5(c).

(a) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification existing as of the date of this Agreement and permissible under Applicable Law for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing in favor of any current or former director, statutory auditor or officer of the Company (each, a “Company Covered Person”) as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, individual indemnity agreements or as provided pursuant to a resolution of the directors of the Company, as applicable, in each case as set forth on Section 6.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, shall survive the Closing and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date.

(b) The provisions of this Section 6.7(a) are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Company Covered Persons, their heirs, legatees, representatives, successors and assigns, it being expressly agreed that the Company Covered Persons shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7(a) and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Company Covered Person may have by contract or otherwise.
