Strictly private and confidential – Project Phantom

Dear Sirs or Madams,

Binding offer to purchase 100% of the Company on a fully diluted basis (promesse unilatérale d'achat)

We (the "Purchaser") refer to our letter of intent dated March 30, 2018, as amended by the exclusivity extension letter dated June 29, 2018 (the "Letter of Intent") regarding the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares and other equity securities of PeopleDoc on a cash-free and debt free basis from its shareholders and option holders (the "Transaction").

Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, you granted to us an exclusivity period for the negotiation of the agreements required to implement the Transaction. The purpose of the exclusivity letter was to enable us to: (i) conduct our due diligence on the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group Companies"), and (ii) submit a final and binding offer to purchase the Company, so as to enable PeopleDoc to obtain the opinion of its works council (the "Works Council") on the Transaction (the "Consultation Process").

We now hereby confirm that we are willing to make a binding offer to purchase PeopleDoc (promesse unilatérale d'achat) on the terms of this letter. Capitalised terms used in this letter, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning given to them in the SPA (as defined below).

1.	Binding Offer

1.1

We hereby promise to the Beneficiaries to purchase 100% of the share capital and voting rights of PeopleDoc on a fully diluted basis on the terms and conditions of this letter and of the share purchase agreement (the "SPA"), a copy of which is set out in agreed form in Schedule 3 (the "Binding Offer"). This Binding Offer is subject only to paragraph 2 of this letter. The Beneficiaries accept the benefit of this Binding Offer as an offer (promesse) only and reserve the right at their sole discretion to accept it or not, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.	Conditions to Binding Offer

2.1	This Binding Offer is conditional on the satisfaction or waiver by the Purchaser prior to Closing of the Purchaser Conditions Precedent set out in clause 4.1 of the SPA.

2.2

The Sellers' Representative, acting as a joint representative (mandataire commun) of the Beneficiaries, shall notify the Purchaser of the existence of any fact, event or circumstance of which it becomes aware and which may cause one or more of the Purchaser Conditions Precedent set out in clause 4.1 of the SPA not to be satisfied. Following receipt of this notification, the Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days to notify to the Sellers' Representative whether it wishes to rely on it so as to cause this Binding Offer to lapse.

3.	Ordinary course

3.1	Between the date of this letter and the signing of the SPA, the Beneficiaries shall procure that (se porte fort que) the Group Companies are operated in the ordinary course and consistently with past practice as required under clause 8.1 of the SPA.

3.2

By countersigning this letter, the Beneficiaries and the Purchaser agree that clause 8.1 of the SPA (Management of the Group Companies up to the Closing Date) shall apply mutatis mutandis between the Purchaser and the Beneficiaries as if set out herein (and references in these provisions to "this Agreement" (or other similar expressions) shall be deemed to be a reference to this Binding Offer) and the Purchaser and the Beneficiaries shall comply with such provisions as from the signature of this Binding Offer.

4.	Acceptance Notice

4.1

This Binding Offer shall be accepted by the Beneficiaries and the other Sellers listed in Schedule 1 upon delivery by Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (the "Sellers' Representative"), acting in his own name and on behalf of the other Beneficiaries, each of whom hereby gives the Sellers' Representative full powers of representation in this respect, and by the other Sellers listed in Schedule 1, of a written notice in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 (the "Acceptance Notice") to the Purchaser, at any time until five (5) Business Days (at 11:59 p.m., New York time) following the date on which the Consultation Process has been completed, but in any event no later than October 31, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. (New York time) (the "Expiration Date").

4.2	The Acceptance Notice shall confirm the completion of the Consultation Process. The date on which the Sellers' Representative and the Sellers deliver the Acceptance Notice to the Purchaser hereunder shall be the "Acceptance Date".

4.3	For the purpose of this Binding Offer, the Consultation Process shall be deemed to have been completed in relation to the Transaction:

(A)	if the Works Council issues an opinion on the Transaction, and the Sellers' Representative has delivered to the Purchaser minutes of the meeting of the Works Council, duly executed by representatives of the Works Council, evidencing the issue of that opinion;

(B)

in the absence of an opinion of the Works Council on the Transaction, if the Sellers' Representative has determined, acting reasonably and in good faith, that (a) the Company has complied with all relevant information and consultation obligations under French law in respect of the Works Council, and (b) the Works Council is deemed under French law to have issued an opinion, provided that the Sellers' Representative has delivered to the Purchaser, together with the Acceptance Notice, proper and complete evidence of the date of delivery of the information note to the Works Council and the minutes of the last meeting with the Works Council whereby the Sellers' Representative has informed the Works Council of the date on which it is deemed to have issued an opinion.

4.4

Upon receipt of the Acceptance Notice, the Purchaser and the Beneficiaries shall meet within five (5) Business Days to sign the SPA in the form attached in Schedule 3 without any amendment or variation, except for terms which have been subsequently defined, completed or modified with the mutual agreement of the Purchaser and the Beneficiaries and without prejudice to the Sellers' rights under clause 8.8 of the SPA which shall apply mutatis mutandis between the date of this Binding Offer and the execution date of the SPA. The Beneficiaries shall procure that (se porte fort que) the Sellers other than the Beneficiaries shall sign the SPA in the form attached in Schedule 3 without any amendment or variation, except for terms which have been subsequently defined, completed or modified with the mutual agreement of the Purchaser and those Sellers.

4.5

This Binding Offer is indivisible and can only be accepted in whole and not in part only. In particular, this Binding Offer may not be accepted in respect of less than 100% of the share capital and voting rights of the Company on a fully diluted basis. This Binding Offer shall terminate on the Expiration Date, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Purchaser and the Beneficiaries. After the Expiration Date and unless an extension is agreed between the Purchaser and the Beneficiaries, this Binding Offer shall automatically and immediately terminate (de plein droit et sans formalités) without any compensation being owed to any of the Beneficiaries or the Purchaser (subject to paragraphs 5 and 8.6).

5.	Continued exclusivity

5.1

From the date of this Binding Offer and until the earlier of (a) the closing of the Transaction (b) the lapse of the Binding Offer upon the Purchaser's request under paragraph 2.2 and (c) November 30, 2018, the Beneficiaries agree and undertake that they shall not and shall procure that (se porte fort que) their respective Affiliates (including the Group Companies) shall not do any of the things set out in clauses 8.4(A), 8.4(B) and 8.4(C) of the SPA (Continued Exclusivity).

5.2

Immediately upon signing this Binding Offer, the Beneficiaries shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including the Group Companies) to, terminate any discussions or negotiations currently taking place relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than with the Purchaser). The Beneficiaries represent to the Purchaser that, since the date of the Letter of Intent, neither they nor any of their respective Affiliates (including the Group Companies) has had any discussions or negotiations relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than with the Purchaser). The Beneficiaries represent to the Purchaser that neither they nor any of their respective Affiliates (including the Group Companies) is party to or bound by any agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal other than under this Binding Offer.

6.	Information and consultation process

6.1

The Purchaser acknowledges that the decision by the Beneficiaries and the other Sellers to accept this Binding Offer cannot be taken before the Works Council has been informed of and consulted on the Transaction and the Works Council has issued, or is deemed to have issued, its opinion on the Transaction.

6.2

The Beneficiaries agree and undertake to cause the information and consultation process of the Works Council to be initiated as promptly as possible and to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the opinion from the Works Council in relation to the Transaction as promptly as practicable following the date on which the information and consultation process of the Works Council has been launched.

6.3

The Beneficiaries further undertake to keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of such information and consultation process and to promptly provide the Purchaser with a true and certified copy of the opinion delivered by the Works Council. In particular, the Beneficiaries shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed in a timely manner of the progress of the information and consultation process of the Works Council and of any material issues arising therefrom, including by furnishing the Purchaser with copies of all material written correspondence, notices and other communications received by the Beneficiaries and/or the Company in connection with such information and consultation process as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the same (except that in relation to all disclosure under this paragraph privileged information, business secrets and any other confidential material shall not be required to be disclosed if such disclosure would violate applicable Law, privilege or other confidentiality obligations; provided that the Beneficiaries may redact such information if legally permissible).

6.4

The Beneficiaries shall permit the Purchaser to review in advance any material written correspondence, notices or communications (including any supporting materials) to be made available by the Beneficiaries or the Company to the Works Council and shall consult with the Purchaser in connection with any such communications and, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to comment on them and take into account in good faith any comments that the Purchaser may make thereon.

6.5

In connection with the information and consultation process of the Works Council contemplated by this Binding Offer, neither the Company nor the Beneficiaries shall, without the Purchaser's prior written consent, enter into any agreement or understanding with, or make any commitment to, the Works Council that would impose any obligations on the Purchaser or the Group Companies (including with respect to the terms of employment and employment benefits granted or to be granted to employees of the Group Companies). The Parties will consult with each other and consider in good faith any issues and proposals in relation to the Transaction that may be raised as part of the information and consultation process of the Works Council, provided however that neither the Purchaser nor the Beneficiaries shall be obliged to agree to any modification hereto or to the SPA or the transactions contemplated thereby.

6.6

The Purchaser undertakes to co-operate with the Beneficiaries and the Company with respect to the information and consultation process of the Works Council, including by providing the Beneficiaries and the Company with customary information (whether in writing or orally) which the Works Council may reasonably request that is pertinent to the Transaction.

8.7	Certain Tax Matters

(A)

Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date: the Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date, which Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and all Tax Returns for the Company for all Straddle Periods, in each case, that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, which Tax Returns shall (i) be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law and (ii) to the extent such Tax Return is an income Tax Return for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date, include all Transaction Deductions to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The Purchaser shall provide drafts of any such Tax Returns described in the preceding sentence to the Sellers' Agent at least 30 days prior to the applicable due date for filing thereof (or, if such due date is within 30 days of the Closing Date, as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date) and shall permit the Sellers' Agent to review, comment on and approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any such Tax Return prior to filing.

(B)

Straddle periods: for purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the portion of any Tax that relates to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, receipts, sales, use, or payroll, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and (2) the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; provided, however, that, if the amount of periodic Taxes imposed for such Straddle Period reflects different rates of Taxes imposed for different periods within such Straddle Period, the formula described in the preceding clause shall be applied separately with respect to each such period within the Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, receipts, sales, or payroll, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Straddle Period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are not covered under the rules of Code Sections 451 and 461 shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the annual period elapsed through the Closing Date as compared to the number of days in the annual period elapsing after the Closing Date.

(C)

Cooperation on Tax matters: the Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Tax contest. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party's request) the provision of records and information which may be reasonably relevant to any such Tax contest and making appropriate persons available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Purchaser, the Company and the Sellers' Agent (to the extent in its possession) shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority.

(D)

Contest provisions: if, subsequent to the Closing, the Purchaser or the Company receives notice of a Tax contest with respect to any period with respect to which the Purchaser can claim a right to indemnification relating to Taxes under this Agreement, then within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers' Agent of such notice. The Sellers' Agent may elect to control the conduct and resolution of such Pre-Closing Tax Period contest solely to the extent that such Tax contest relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period provided that (i) the Sellers' Agent shall permit the Purchaser to participate in such Pre-Closing Tax Period contest (using counsel of its own choosing), (ii) Sellers' Agent shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis with respect to any such Pre-Closing Tax Period contest, and (iii) the Sellers' Agent shall not enter into any settlement of, otherwise compromise or abandon any Pre-Closing Tax Period contest without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

With respect to any Tax contest (i) involving Tax matters or items that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for a claim of indemnification against the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) that the Sellers' Agent does not or cannot elect to control pursuant to the preceding clause, the Purchaser will control such Tax contest, including the defense and settlement thereof; provided that (i) the Purchaser shall permit the Sellers' Agent to participate in such Tax contest (using counsel of its own choosing), (ii) the Purchaser shall keep the Sellers' Agent reasonably informed of all material developments on a timely basis with respect to any such Tax contest, and (iii) the Purchaser shall not enter into any settlement of, otherwise compromise or abandon any such Tax contest without the prior written consent of the Sellers' Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Each party (in the case of the Sellers' Agent, on behalf of the Sellers) shall bear its own costs for participating in such Tax contest. To the extent of any inconsistency between this clause 8.7 and clause 9.3, the provisions of this clause 8.7 shall control.

(E)

Characterization of payments: any adjustment to the Purchase Price, the Deferred Cash Consideration, or any indemnification payments hereunder shall constitute an adjustment of the Purchase Price for applicable Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by all parties on their Tax Returns unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(F)

Post-closing restrictions: for the portion of the Closing Date after the Closing, neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of the Purchaser (including the Company) will cause or permit the Company to take any actions that could increase the Tax liabilities of the Sellers or the amount of Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period other than actions taken in the ordinary course and consistent with prior practice of the Company, except with the prior consent of the Sellers' Agent. The Purchaser and the Company will not (and will not permit their respective Affiliates to) (i) except for Tax Returns prepared and filed in accordance with clause 8.7(A), file or amend any Tax Returns of the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) with respect to Tax Returns prepared and filed in accordance with clause 8.7(A) after the date such Tax Returns are filed, amend any such Tax Returns, (iii) make or change any Tax election or change any method of accounting that has retroactive effect to any Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) voluntarily approach any Tax Authority regarding any Tax or Tax Return of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (v) agree to extend or waive the statute of limitations with respect to Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each such case except with the prior written consent of the Sellers' Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Purchaser's option, (i) the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign Law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Transferred Shares hereunder and (ii) for purposes of, and to the extent permissible under, any provision of the Code, the Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, decide to use a "closing of the books" or "pro rata" election in determining the pre and/or post-closing losses incurred in 2018 by any of the Group Companies (provided such election does not result in a material adverse consequence to any Seller); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement: (i) the Sellers shall have no liability under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement or otherwise for any Tax consequences of the Section 338(g) election (that would not have arisen but for the Section 338(g) election) on the Company or on any of its Subsidiaries (including but not limited to, any liability resulting from the Section 338(g) election that is attributable to a breach of any of the representations made by the Company or the Sellers hereunder (but without in any way impairing or compromising Purchaser's right to pursue any claim with respect to such breach, it being understood that the Sellers shall have no liability to the extent that any Loss incurred by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is attributable to the Section 338(g) election), or any failure of the purchase and sale of the Transferred Shares to constitute a "qualified stock purchase" within the meaning of Section 338 of the Code); and (ii) the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Sellers, on an after-Tax basis, from and against any additional Tax liability incurred by any such Seller (or any of its direct and indirect owners) that is incurred by such Seller (or such owners) solely as a result of the Section 338(g) election. From and after the date of this Agreement, each of the Sellers listed on Schedule 8.7(F) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with all information reasonably requested by the Purchaser and its Representatives and reasonably available to such Sellers in order for the Purchaser to determine whether at any time (i) the Company has been a "controlled foreign corporation" within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code and (ii) such Seller (and/or any of its direct and indirect owners) has been a "United States shareholder" within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code; provided, however, in no event shall a Seller be obligated to provide any information specifically identifying any investor or group of investors if, in its reasonable determination, the provision of such information or any other information would constitute a potential breach of a contractual or legal confidentiality obligation.

(G)

Tax treatment: except as may be required pursuant to a "determination" (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law), for all applicable Tax purposes, the parties to this Agreement agree to, and no party shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with, the following Tax treatment of the items specified below:

The contingent rights of the Sellers to their portion of the Deferred Cash Consideration (i) shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price potentially eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law as appropriate, and (ii) if and to the extent any such amount is released or paid in respect of Company Capital Stock, interest may be imputed on such amount if required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code.

(H)

Tax refunds: the Sellers will be entitled to all refunds, credits or reductions of Tax of the Company for taxable periods or partial taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent there are any outstanding indemnification claims by the Purchaser arising under clause 9.5(A)(2) or (3) or if such refunds, credits or reductions were already taken into account in determining the amount of Working Capital or Debt; provided that (i) such amounts shall be net of: (1) any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refund, credit or reduction of Taxes and (2) any Tax required to be withheld on such amount, and (ii) any refund, credit or reduction of Tax related to a Straddle Period shall be prorated based upon the methodology set forth in this clause 8.8 (each a "Pre-Closing Tax Refund"). If the Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates receives any Pre-Closing Tax Refund to which the Sellers are entitled pursuant to this clause 8.7, the Purchaser or the Company will promptly pay (or cause their respective Affiliates to pay) the entire amount of such Pre-Closing Tax Refund (including interest to the extent a governmental entity actually paid or credited the Purchaser, the Company or such Affiliate for interest with respect to such refund) based upon each Seller's portion of such Pre-Closing Tax Refund, to the Sellers. Upon reasonable request from the Sellers' Agent, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to file an amended Tax Return (or application for refund or any other required filing) in order to obtain any Pre-Closing Tax Refund, and any Tax Returns filed pursuant to this clause 8.7 shall be subject to the review, comment and approval procedures that apply to Tax Returns prepared and filed in accordance with the first paragraph of this clause 8.7.

8.8	Disclosure Schedule Updates

From time to time prior to the Closing, the Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent may at its option supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to any matter arising after the date hereof, which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedules (each a "Disclosure Schedule Supplement"). Any disclosure in any such Disclosure Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any Warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the Purchaser Conditions Precedent set forth in clause 4.1 have been satisfied.

8.9	No other Information

The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is subject to article 1112-1 of the French Civil Code.

9. Indemnification

9.1	Principles

(A)

Liability of the Sellers individually: subject to the provisions of this clause 9, each Seller undertakes, only as to itself and (as regards the Warranties) only as to the Transferred Shares that it owns, to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Corporate Affiliates or, at the Purchaser's election, the relevant Group Company (collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnitees" and each a "Purchaser Indemnitee") from any and all loss, liability, damage, cost, penalty or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, actually and directly borne by any Purchaser Indemnitee, as applicable (excluding, for the sake of clarity, any indirect or consequential damages including but not limited to, a loss of opportunity or loss of profit) (a "Loss"), which arises out of or results from (i) following Closing, any breach of any of the Warranties set forth in clause 6.1, or (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(B)

Liability of the Sellers severally but not jointly (conjointement mais non solidairement): subject to the provisions of this clause 9, the Sellers undertake, severally but not jointly (conjointement mais non solidairement) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from any and all Loss, which arises out of or results from (i) following Closing, any breach of any of the Warranties set forth in clause 6.2 (other than in respect of clause 6.2(K), it being understood that the sole remedy for any inaccuracy in or breach thereof shall be pursuant to clause 9.5(A)(3)) or (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by any Group Company on or prior to the Closing, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(C)

In respect of any indemnification provided by clauses 9.1(A) and (B), following a Notice of Claim, the amount owed, or to be owed (as claimed by the Purchaser in the Notice of Claim), by the Sellers to any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid according to the following order of priority, subject to the limitations set forth herein:

(1)	by set-off against the Deferred Cash Consideration up to a maximum of US$26 million; and

(2)	then, by the Sellers.

(D)

Any payment made by a Seller under this clause 9.1 shall be deemed to constitute an adjustment to the portion of the Purchase Price received by that Seller and the Parties agree to treat any such payment as such for all tax, accounting and financial reporting purposes and by priority on the cash portion of the Purchase Price.

9.2

Procedure

(A)

In order to be valid, any claim in respect of the indemnification of a Loss by a Purchaser Indemnitee against the Sellers under clauses 9.1(A), 9.1(B), 9.5 or 9.7 (each, a "Claim") shall be notified in writing to the Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent (pre-Closing) or to the Sellers' Agent (after Closing) no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Purchaser or the relevant Group Company first becomes aware of the facts upon which the claim is based and shall specify the event, fact or circumstance on which it is based (including the reference(s) to the relevant clause(s) of this Agreement supporting the claim), indicating the amount or an estimate of the amount claimed in respect of the Loss (if such amount is known or such estimate can be determined), and be submitted together with documents which enable the existence of the Loss to be established (a "Notice of Claim"). The failure of the Purchaser Indemnitee to meet this thirty (30) Business Day deadline will not result in the forfeiture of the Purchaser Indemnitee's rights to compensation hereunder but shall relieve the Sellers from any indemnification obligation with respect to such Claim to the extent the Loss suffered is increased by virtue of the delayed Notice of Claim.

(B)

If the Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent or the Sellers' Agent (as the case may be) disputes the Notice of Claim, the Sellers and the Purchaser Indemnitee shall attempt to resolve their dispute amicably and, if no agreement has been reached within sixty (60) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Claim, the dispute shall be settled in accordance with clause 16 below.

9.3	Third Party Claims

(A)

If a Notice of Claim results from a claim or proceeding against any Purchaser Indemnitee by any Third Party (including a claim or proceeding by any Tax Authorities) (a "Third Party Claim"), the Sellers' Agent shall have the right, at its option and at the Sellers' expense, to participate in or to direct and take control of, through counsel of its own choice, the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. The Sellers' Agent shall be entitled, subject to the prior written consent of the Purchaser Indemnitee, to settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim, provided that the sole relief pursuant to such settlement or compromise shall be monetary damages.

(B)

Should the Sellers' Agent elect to direct and take control of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the same information rights and the same right to participate in the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim as given to the Sellers' Agent under clause 9.3(C) below.

(C)

If the Sellers' Agent elects not to direct and take control of the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim, (i) the Purchaser Indemnitee shall conduct, or shall procure that the relevant Group Company conducts, the defense of any such claim diligently, in accordance with its duty to mitigate and in good faith using all reasonable means and defenses available to it, but subject always to the overriding reasonable commercial interests of the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Group Companies), and (ii) the Sellers' Agent may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice and at the Sellers' expense. In addition, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall give, and shall procure that the relevant Group Company gives, to the Sellers' Agent and its counsel the opportunity to comment with respect to the defense of any such Third Party Claim and shall reasonably take into account and incorporate reasonable comments of the Sellers' Agent and/or its counsel as to the direction and strategy and contents of the defense.

(D)

Whether or not the Sellers' Agent elects to direct and take control of the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim, the Sellers shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement or waiver of any appeal or other remedy of any such Third Party Claim effected without the Sellers' Agent prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that the Sellers' Agent withholds its consent to any proposed compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim, and the Purchaser Indemnitee is subsequently required to pay any amount in respect of that Third Party Claim, then the Sellers shall be liable to the Purchaser Indemnitee for all such amounts, as well as for the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitee and the Group Companies, in each case, subject to the limitations contained herein. In the event that the Purchaser Indemnitee withholds its consent to any proposed compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim, and the Sellers are subsequently required to pay a higher amount in respect of that Third Party Claim, then the Purchaser shall be liable to the Sellers for the excess, as well as for the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Sellers since the date on which the Purchaser withheld its consent to the proposed compromise or settlement.

9.4	Limitations; Other Indemnification Qualifications

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the liability of the Sellers to indemnify any Loss shall be limited in the following manner:

(A)

The Sellers shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to clauses 9.1(A)(i) and 9.1(B)(i) for any individual Loss (or series of connected Losses arising from the same cause) below US$25,000 (the "De Minimis Amount"), and any Losses (or series of connected Losses arising from the same cause) below the De Minimis Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of the Threshold and the limitations provided in Section 9.4(B). The Sellers shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to clauses 9.1(A)(i) and 9.1(B)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Sellers exceeds US$750,000 (the "Threshold"), after which the Sellers shall be liable for the Losses in excess of the Threshold.

(B)

Except for Claims in relation to the IP Warranties, Tax Warranties and Fundamental Warranties, the Sellers' aggregate obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees and hold them harmless under clauses 9.1(A)(i) and 9.1(B)(i) shall in no event exceed US$26,000,000 (the "Cap") and each Seller's obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees and hold them harmless under clauses 9.1(A)(i) and 9.1(B)(i) shall no event exceed such Seller's Pro Rata Portion of the Cap.

(C)

Subject to clause 9.4(B), (1) the Sellers' aggregate obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees and hold them harmless under clauses 9.1(A), 9.1(B), 9.5 and 9.7 (including in respect of Claims in relation to the IP Warranties, Tax Warranties and Fundamental Warranties) shall in no event exceed the aggregate proceeds actually received by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (2) each Seller's obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees and hold them harmless under clauses 9.1(A), 9.1(B), 9.5 and 9.7 (including in respect of Claims in relation to the IP Warranties, Tax Warranties and Fundamental Warranties) shall in no event exceed the aggregate proceeds actually received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(D)

The Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for any income tax liability of any of the Group Companies which would result from a shifting of income or expenses from one fiscal year to another. For example, the Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for any income tax liability of any of the Group Companies which involves a mere modification of the tax period during which a deduction, charge or amortization may be taken into account for Tax purposes. The Sellers shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees for any value added tax liability which may be recovered by any of the Group Companies.

(E)	Any Loss shall be indemnified only once by the Sellers whether incurred by the Purchaser and/or any other Purchaser Indemnitee.

(F)	A Loss shall be calculated on a consolidated basis and any Loss representing or giving rise to a transfer of value to the benefit of one of the Group Companies will not give rise to indemnification to the extent of that transfer of value.

(G)

If any Loss is recovered by a Group Company, in whole or in part, from any third party after the full payment by the Sellers of any amounts due under this clause (9) in respect of that Loss, the amounts so recovered shall be credited to the Sellers. The Purchaser Indemnitee shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to exhaust their remedies against the third parties.

(H)

Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Sellers shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnitees in respect of any Loss arising from facts, events or circumstances that are fully and fairly disclosed in the Disclosed Information such that the nature and extent of the disclosure is reasonably apparent under an objective standard.

(I)	Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the Sellers shall not be held liable for indemnification in respect of any Loss resulting from, or increased by, any voluntary action on the part of any Purchaser Indemnitee after the Closing Date, including any change in the Accounting Principles.

(J)	No indemnity will be due by the Sellers to any Purchaser Indemnitee if the Loss arises from the entry into force or the modification of a Law and/or the levy or modification of any Tax or Tax rate after the Closing Date, even if such change has a retroactive effect.

(K)	The limitations set forth in clause 9.4(A) and (B) shall not apply to Claims in respect of the Fundamental Warranties.

(L)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there will be no limitation on the obligations of any Seller for any Losses arising out of or relating to fraud (dol) by such Seller in connection with this Agreement, and no Seller shall be liable for fraud of the Company which such Seller did not commit in excess of the aggregate proceeds actually received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided, that there will be no limitation on the obligations of any Seller for any Losses arising out of or relating to fraud by the Company that such Xxxxxx committed.

(M)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except with respect to Losses arising out of or relating to fraud, the provisions of this clause 9 will constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of each Purchaser Indemnitee for Losses arising out of, caused by, or resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation in this Agreement; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that this clause 9 shall not impose any limitations on payments to be made pursuant to clause 3.3(N). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this clause 9.4(M) shall limit Purchaser's right to (i) terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof or (ii) seek and obtain any specific performance or injunctive relief to which Purchaser shall be entitled.

(N)

Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses pursuant to this clause 9, but not for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred, the representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification shall be deemed to be made without such materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification.

9.5	Specific Indemnities

(5)

any Loss attributable to the disallowance or unavailability of the French Tax Credits (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the return to the applicable French authorities of amounts previously received in respect of such French Tax Credits, together with any interest, penalties or other charges thereon); provided, however, that the amounts payable under this clause 9.5(5) with respect to such Loss shall not exceed €417,000 euros in the aggregate.

(B)

The limitations set forth in clauses 9.4(A) and (B) shall not apply to claims under this clause 9.5, provided that the aggregate liability of each Seller in respect of Claims under this Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate proceeds actually received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(A)

The Designated Holder undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser or, at the Purchaser's election, the relevant Group Company from any and all Losses, which are suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or any Group Company in respect of any Taxes attributable to (i) the grant or issuance of the Restricted Stock Awards or the cancellation or waiver of the BSPCEs held by such Designated Holder, and (ii) the deferred payment of any consideration payable to the Designated Holder after the Closing Date, and (iii) the vesting, forfeiture or disposition of the Restricted Stock Awards, provided that with respect to clause (iii), the Designated Holder shall not be liable for any payroll taxes to the extent of an amount equal to the maximum applicable U.S. federal payroll taxes (i.e., FICA) that would be payable by the Designated Holder with respect to the vesting, forfeiture or disposition of the Restricted Stock Awards.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following Closing, the Sellers' Agent shall be permitted to: (i) after the public announcement of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement, publicly announce that it has been engaged to serve as the Sellers' Agent in connection with such Transaction as long as such announcement does not disclose any of the other terms thereof; and (ii) disclose information to employees, advisors, agents or consultants of the Sellers' Agent and to the Sellers, in each case who have a need to know such information, provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto.

12. Sellers' Agent and Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent

12.1

The Sellers hereby irrevocably appoint and designate Shareholder Representative Services LLC, who accepts this appointment, as agent, representative and attorney-in-fact of the Sellers (the "Sellers' Agent") for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other agreements ancillary hereto, including the power to give and receive all notices and other documents, to give all consents, to handle, dispute, settle or otherwise deal with any and all claims against the Sellers under this Agreement, to agree on any amendment to this Agreement, and, more generally, to exercise the rights and fulfil all obligations of the Sellers on their behalf under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any agreements ancillary thereto. The Sellers' Agent shall have all powers to give or receive any notice or instructions permitted or required under clause 9, and to contest, negotiate, defend, compromise or settle any claim. In all such cases, the Sellers' Agent shall be the sole person entitled to act in the name and for the account (au nom et pour le compte) of all Sellers in the capacity of the Sellers' joint representative (mandataire commun). In this respect, the Sellers hereby expressly acknowledge and agree to irrevocably waive the provisions of article 1161 of the French Civil Code (Code civil).

Any decision by the Sellers' Agent under this Agreement shall bind the Sellers.

12.2

The Sellers' Agent may resign at any time. In the event Shareholder Representative Services LLC resigns or is unable, for any reason whatsoever, to act as Sellers' Agent, the Sellers shall, with the written consent of the Purchaser, which cannot be unreasonably withheld, appoint a new Sellers' Agent and shall promptly notify the Purchaser of the identity of such newly appointed Sellers' Agent. If the Sellers do not reach an agreement within twenty (20) Business Days of the date on which Shareholder Representative Services LLC has ceased to perform its duties as Sellers' Agent or if the Purchaser has reasonably withheld its approval to appoint a new Sellers' Agent, then the new Sellers' Agent shall be appointed by the President of the Commercial Court of Paris ruling in summary form (statuant en référé), such ruling being unchallengeable in appeal.

12.3

The Sellers' Agent will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Sellers' Agent in connection with the Sellers' Agent's services pursuant to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and any agreements ancillary hereto and thereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Sellers' Agent's gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers' Agent shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Sellers will severally but not jointly in accordance with their Pro Rata Portion, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers' Agent from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, "Agent Losses") arising out of or in connection with the Sellers' Agent's execution and performance of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any agreements ancillary hereto and thereto, in each case as such Agent Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Agent Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Sellers' Agent, the Sellers' Agent will reimburse the Sellers the amount of such indemnified Agent Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Sellers' Agent by the Sellers, any such Agent Losses may be recovered by the Sellers' Agent from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) from any Deferred Cash Consideration at such time as any such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Sellers; provided, that while this clause 12.3 allows the Sellers' Agent to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Sellers from their obligation to promptly pay such Agent Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Sellers' Agent from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Sellers' Agent be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Sellers or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties, otherwise applicable to the Sellers set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Sellers' Agent under this clause 12. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Sellers' Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

12.4

Upon the Closing, the Purchaser will wire on behalf of the Company US$200,000 (the "Expense Fund") to the Sellers' Agent, which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Sellers' Agent for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement. The Sellers will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Sellers' Agent any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Sellers' Agent will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or misconduct. The Sellers' Agent will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Sellers' Agent's responsibilities, the Sellers' Agent shall disburse any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Purchaser for further distribution to the Sellers based on such Sellers' Pro Rata Portion as set forth on Part 3 of Schedule (E), except in the case of payments to employees of the Company for which employment tax withholding is required, which such amounts shall be delivered to the Purchaser or the Company and paid through the Purchaser's or the Company's payroll processing service or system. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of Closing. The parties agree that the Sellers' Agent is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund.

12.5	Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent

(A)

The Sellers hereby irrevocably appoint Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (the "Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent"), who accepts this appointment, as agent to, prior to and at the Closing, give and receive all notices and other documents, to give all consents, to handle, dispute, settle or otherwise deal with any and all claims against the Sellers under this Agreement, to agree on any amendment to this Agreement, and, more generally, to exercise the rights and fulfil all obligations of the Sellers on their behalf under this Agreement. The Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent shall be appointed for a period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) the Closing and shall not be revoked by the Sellers during such period.

Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx hereby accepts and undertakes to act as Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent for such period. Any decision by the Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent under this Agreement shall bind the Sellers.

(B)

In the event Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx is unable, for any reason whatsoever, to act as Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent during such period or any extension thereof, the Sellers shall, with the written consent of the Purchaser, which cannot be unreasonably withheld, appoint a new Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent and shall promptly notify the Purchaser of the identity of such newly appointed Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent. If the Sellers do not reach an agreement within two (2) Business Days of the date on which Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx has ceased to perform his duties as Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent or if the Purchaser has reasonably withheld its approval to appoint a new Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent, then the new Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent shall be appointed by the President of the Commercial Court of Paris ruling in summary form (statuant en référé), such ruling being unchallengeable in appeal.

(C)

The Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent shall not bear any liability whatsoever, either to the Sellers or to the Purchaser, in its capacity as agent of the Sellers under this Agreement. The Pre-Closing Sellers' Agent shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Sellers in their Pro Rata Portions for all costs and expenses incurred by him in his such capacity.

The number of arbitrators shall be three. Each party shall nominate one arbitrator and the two party-appointed arbitrators shall nominate the third arbitrator, who shall serve as the presiding arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English and the award will be rendered in writing in English. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the parties to the arbitration. Unless otherwise ordered by the arbitral tribunal, each party shall bear its own costs and fees, including attorneys' fees and expenses (in the case of the Sellers' Agent, on behalf of the Sellers). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Parties from seeking any preliminary, emergency or interim injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction or under the ICC Rules, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of any right under this Agreement. For any dispute relating to the payment of Deferred Cash Consideration under clause 3.4 above, an award shall be rendered by the arbitral tribunal within nine (9) months from the appointment of the presiding arbitrator, unless the arbitral tribunal concludes that the interest of justice requires that such limit be extended by a reasonable amount of time. The award shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.3	The seat or legal place of arbitration referred to in clause 16.2 above shall be New York, New York, USA.
