Ladies and Gentlemen:

Nanobiotix S.A., a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of France and registered with the Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés of Paris under number 447 521 600 00034 (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several European underwriters (the “European Underwriters”) and U.S. underwriters (the “U.S. Underwriters” and, together with the European Underwriters, the “Underwriters”) all named in Schedule A, an aggregate of (i) [•] ordinary shares, nominal value €0.03 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of the Company (the “Firm Shares”) and (ii) Ordinary Shares to be delivered in the form of an aggregate of [•] American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing one Ordinary Share (the “Firm ADSs” and, together with the Firm Shares, the “Firm Securities”), as set forth in Schedule A hereto. The Company also grants to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, the option described in Section 2 hereof to purchase (i) all or any part of [•] additional Ordinary Shares (the “Option Shares”) and (ii) all or any part of [•] additional Ordinary Shares to be delivered in the form of ADSs (the “Option ADSs” and together with the Option Shares, the “Option Securities”), with each Option ADS representing one Ordinary Share. The Firm Shares and Option Shares are collectively called the “Offered Shares.” The Firm ADSs and Option ADSs are collectively called the “Offered ADSs.” The aforesaid Firm Securities and all or any part of the Option Securities subject to the option described in Section 2 hereof are herein collectively called the “Offered Securities.” The Firm ADSs and the Option ADSs are collectively called the “ADSs,” and the Firm Shares and the Option Shares are collectively called the “Shares.” Unless the context otherwise requires, each reference to the Firm ADSs or the Option ADSs herein also includes the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs (the “Underlying Shares”).

The Offered Securities will be issued by way of a capital increase without preferential rights for existing shareholders under the provisions of Article L. 225-136 of the French Commercial Code, pursuant to the 2^nd, 7^th and 10^th resolutions of the Company's extraordinary general shareholders' meeting held on November 30, 2020.

Xxxxxxxxx LLC (“Jefferies”), Evercore Group, L.L.C. (“Evercore”) and UBS Investment Bank, LLC (“UBS”) have agreed to act as representatives of the several Underwriters with respect to the U.S. Offering (as defined below) (in such capacity, together the “U.S. Representatives”), and Jefferies International Ltd and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx SNC have agreed to act as representatives of the several Underwriters with respect to the European Offering (as defined below) (in such capacity, together the “European Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Securities. The U.S. Representatives and the European Representatives are collectively called the “Representatives.” To the extent there are no additional underwriters listed on Schedule A, the term “Representatives” as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the term “Underwriters” shall mean either the singular or the plural, as the context requires. It is understood that the obligations of the Underwriters contained in this Agreement shall not constitute a performance guarantee (garantie de bonne fin) within the meaning of Article L. 225-145 of the French Commercial Code.

The ADSs will be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (the “ADRs”) to be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement dated as of [•], 2020 (the “Deposit Agreement”), among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”), and the holders from time to time of the ADRs evidencing the ADSs issued thereunder. The Company shall, following subscription by the Underwriters of the Firm ADSs and, if applicable, the Optional ADSs, deposit, on behalf of the Underwriters, the Shares represented by such ADSs with Citibank, N.A., as custodian (the “Depositary Custodian”) for the Depositary, which shall deliver such ADSs to the U.S. Representatives with respect to the U.S. Offering for the account of the several Underwriters for subsequent delivery to the other several Underwriters or the investors, as the case may be.

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering in the United States of the Offered Securities (the “U.S. Offering”) as soon as the Representatives deem advisable after this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) has been executed and delivered. The Firm Shares and the Option Shares will also be offered to investors outside the United States (i) in France and other member states of the European Union to “qualified investors” within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as may be amended from time to time (the “Prospectus Regulation”) and (ii) outside of the European Union, pursuant to the applicable private placement exemptions in any such jurisdiction (the “European Offering”).

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333‑250707) with respect to the Offered Securities, which contains a form of prospectus to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Offered Securities. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including any information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act, is called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities is called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and from and after the date and time of filing of any such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The Company and the Depositary have prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form F-6 (File No. 333-250880) relating to the Offered ADSs. Such registration statement, as amended, including the exhibits thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act is called the “F-6 Registration Statement.” The Company has prepared and filed, in accordance with Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), a registration statement on Form 8‑A (File No. [•]) (the “Exchange Act Registration Statement”) to register, under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the ADSs. The prospectus, in the form first used by the Underwriters to confirm sales of the Offered Securities or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act is called the “Prospectus.” The preliminary prospectus, dated [•], 2020 describing the Offered Securities and the offering thereof is called the “Preliminary Prospectus,” and the Preliminary Prospectus and any other prospectus in preliminary form that describes the Offered Securities and the offering thereof and is used prior to the filing of the Prospectus is called a “preliminary prospectus.” As used herein, “Applicable Time” is [•] [a.m.] (New York City time) on [•], 2020. As used herein, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the Preliminary Prospectus, together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule C hereto. As used herein, “Road Show” means a “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) relating to the offering of the Offered Securities contemplated hereby that is a “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act). As used herein, “Section 5(d) Written Communication” means each written communication (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that is made in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act by the Company or any person authorized to act on behalf of the Company to one or more potential investors that are qualified institutional buyers (“QIBs”) and/or institutions that are accredited investors (“IAIs”), as such terms are respectively defined in Rule 144A and Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, to determine whether such investors might have an interest in the offering of the Offered Securities; “Section 5(d) Oral Communication” means each oral communication, if any, made in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act by the Company or any person authorized to act on behalf of the Company made to one or more QIBs and/or one or more IAIs to determine whether such investors might have an interest in the offering of the Offered Securities; “Marketing Materials” means any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering or the Offered Securities, including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically); and “Permitted Section 5(d) Communication” means the Section 5(d) Written Communication(s) and Marketing Materials listed on Schedule C attached hereto.

The Company has, for the purpose of listing the Firm Shares, any Option Shares and the Underlying Shares, on the regulated market of Euronext Paris (“Euronext”), prepared and filed with the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers) (the “AMF”) , in accordance with French legal and regulatory requirements, including the general regulations and instructions of the AMF, a Prospectus consisting of (i) the 2019 universal registration document approved by the AMF under number R.20-010 on May 12, 2020 (the “Universal Registration Document”), (ii) a first amendment to such universal registration document filed with the AMF under number D.20-0339-A01 on November 20, 2020 (the “First Amendment to the Universal Registration Document”), (iii) a second amendment to such universal registration document filed with the AMF under number [●] on [●], 2020 (the “Second Amendment to the Universal Registration Document” and together with the First Amendment to the Universal Registration Document, the “Amendments to the Universal Registration Document”), (iv) a securities note (Note d’opération) (the “Note d’Opération”) and (v) a summary of such listing prospectus (included in the Note d’Opération) (collectively, the “French Listing Prospectus”), which is expected to receive the approval of the AMF on or about [●], 2020 and in any event before [●], 2020.

All references in this Agreement to (i) the Registration Statement, the F-6 Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including the Preliminary Prospectus) or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, or any free writing prospectus, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”) and (ii) the Prospectus shall be deemed to include any “electronic Prospectus” provided for use in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities as contemplated by Section 3(n) of this Agreement.

All references in this Agreement to the French Listing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer collectively to (i) the Universal Registration Document and the Amendments to the Universal Registration Document taken together, when such reference is made as of a date or for a period at which or during which the Note d’Opération has not yet been approved by the AMF, and (ii) after such approval has been received, to the Universal Registration Document, the Amendments to the Universal Registration Document, the Note d’Opération and the summary of the French Listing Prospectus (included in the Note d’Opération), taken together. Further, the parties acknowledge that, to the extent representations are made by the Company in Section 1 hereof with respect to the French Listing Prospectus (as described above) as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Applicable Time, such representations shall not be deemed untrue solely by virtue of the fact that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Applicable Time, the French Listing Prospectus does not yet include certain information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Time of Sale Prospectus (as applicable), but that will be included in the Note d’Opération.

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Underwriters as follows:

Section 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants to each Underwriter, as of the date of this Agreement, as of the First Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) and as of the Option Closing Date (as defined in Section 2), if any, as follows:

(a) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statement and the F-6 Registration Statement have each become effective under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act Registration Statement has become effective under the Exchange Act. The Company has complied, to the Commission’s satisfaction, with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information, if any. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the F-6 Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.

No order suspending the effectiveness of the French Listing Prospectus has been issued by the AMF, nor has, to the Company’s knowledge, any challenge to the filing with the AMF or the use of the Universal Registration Document and the Amendments to the Universal Registration Document been filed with any court.

(b) Disclosure. Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus when filed complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and, if filed by electronic transmission pursuant to XXXXX, was identical (except as may be permitted by Regulation S‑T under the Securities Act) to the copy thereof delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto and the F-6 Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became or becomes effective, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The French Listing Prospectus will contain the necessary information which is material to an investor for making an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, profit and losses, financial position, and prospects of the Company and on the rights attached to the Ordinary Shares. The Universal Registration Document and the Amendments to the Universal Registration Document and, when it will be approved by the AMF, the French Listing Prospectus conformed, conform and will conform, as appropriate, with the requirements set forth by applicable laws, including AMF regulations and the Prospectus Regulation. As of the Applicable Time, the Time of Sale Prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus wrapper) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of its date, the French Listing Prospectus did not, and, as amended or supplemented, as of the date of any such amendment or supplement, will not at the First Closing Date (as defined in Section 2) and the Option Closing Date (as defined in Section 2), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Prospectus (including any Prospectus wrapper), as of its date, did not, and at the First Closing Date and at the Option Closing Date, if any, the Prospectus (including any Prospectus wrapper), will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The representations and warranties set forth in the seven immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, the F-6 Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described in Section 9(b) below.

Each free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or on behalf of or used or referred to by the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act, including timely filing with the Commission or retention and legending, as applicable, and each such free writing prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Offered Securities did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus unless such information has been superseded or modified as of such time. Except for the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule B, and electronic road shows, if any, furnished to you before first use, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, without your prior written consent, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus.

(i) The Deposit Agreement; ADSs; Ordinary Shares. The Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositary, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles. Upon due issuance by the Depositary of the ADRs evidencing the Offered ADSs against the deposit of the Underlying Shares in respect thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement and payment by the Underwriters for the Offered ADSs in accordance with this Agreement, such ADSs will be duly and validly issued and the persons in whose names such ADSs are registered will be entitled to the rights specified therein and in the Deposit Agreement. The issuance and sale of the Offered ADSs by the Company and the deposit of the Underlying Shares with the Depositary and the issuance of the ADRs evidencing the Offered ADSs as contemplated by this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement will neither (i) cause any holder of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs, securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Ordinary Shares or ADSs or options, warrants or other rights to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs or any other securities of the Company to have any right to acquire any shares of preferred stock of the Company nor (ii) trigger any anti-dilution rights of any such holder with respect to such Underlying Shares, ADSs, securities, options, warrants or rights. The Deposit Agreement and the ADRs conform in all material respects to each description thereof in the Time of Sale Prospectus. The Ordinary Shares conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the French Listing Prospectus. Each holder of ADSs issued pursuant to the Deposit Agreement shall be entitled, subject to the Deposit Agreement, to seek enforcement of its rights through the Depositary or its nominee registered as a representative of the holders of the ADSs in a direct suit, action or proceeding against the Company.

Such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the European Union and the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as may be expressly stated in the related notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed therein. The financial statements included directly or incorporated by reference in the French Listing Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods specified. Such financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 are in accordance with IFRS within the meaning of EC Regulation No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the council of 19 July 2002 as adopted from time to time by the European Commission in accordance with that Regulation and its interpretations promulgated by the IASB applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as noted therein).

No other financial statements or supporting schedules are required under applicable law to be included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus. The financial data set forth in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Prospectus Summary—Summary Consolidated Financial Data” “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and “Capitalization” and in the French Listing Prospectus fairly present, in all material respects, the information set forth therein on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus. All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any free writing prospectus that constitute non-GAAP financial measures (as defined by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) comply in all material respects with Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable. To the Company’s knowledge, no person who has been suspended or barred from being associated with a registered public accounting firm, or who has failed to comply with any sanction pursuant to Rule 5300 promulgated by the PCAOB, has participated in or otherwise aided the preparation of, or audited, the financial statements or other financial data filed with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(l) Company’s Accounting System. The Company and each of its subsidiaries make and keep accurate books and records and maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS as issued by IASB and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(m) Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Deficiencies in or Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), which (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, and (ii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. Since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there have been no significant deficiencies or material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is not aware of any change in its internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The constitutive or organizational documents of each of the subsidiaries comply with the requirements of applicable laws of its jurisdiction or incorporation or organization and are in full force and effect, except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than the subsidiaries listed in or included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and the French Listing Prospectus.

(p) Capitalization and Other Share Capital Matters. The authorized, issued and outstanding share capital of the Company is as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Capitalization” and in the French Listing Prospectus (in each case, other than for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to employee or non-employee director or management benefit plans, stock-option and free share plans or upon the exercise of outstanding founders’ warrants (BSPCE), stock options (OSA) and warrants (BSA), or the vesting of free shares in each case described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus). The share capital of the Company, including the Offered Securities, conforms in all material respects to each description thereof contained in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus, provided that with respect to the French Listing Prospectus such representation shall be deemed given after French Listing Prospectus including the Note d’Opération have been approved by the AMF. All of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, freely negotiable and have been issued in compliance with French law and, to the extent applicable, all United States federal, state and local securities laws. None of the outstanding Ordinary Shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company that have not been duly excluded, waived or satisfied. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any share capital of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than those described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus.

(q) Working Capital. The cash flow and working capital projections on which the Company has based its working capital statements which will be contained in Section 3.1 of the Note d’Opération and in Section 4.3.1 of the summary of the French Listing Prospectus have been made on reasonable grounds in good faith, after due and careful enquiry and take into account all material matters of which the Company is aware concerning the Company and its subsidiaries. All assumptions on which such working capital statement is based are reasonable and, so far as the Company is aware, there are no other material assumptions which should reasonably be taken into account in the preparation of such working capital statement.

(r) Stock Exchange Listing. The Offered ADSs have been approved for listing on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), subject only to official notice of issuance. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Ordinary Shares (including the Underlying Shares) on Euronext, and will comply with all laws and regulations applying to it due to the listing of the Firm Shares, the Option Shares, if any, and the Underlying Shares on Euronext.

(s) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its articles of association or by‑laws, partnership agreement or operating agreement or similar organizational documents, as applicable, or is in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under any indenture, loan, credit agreement, note, lease, license agreement, contract, franchise or other instrument (including, without limitation, any pledge agreement, security agreement, mortgage or other instrument or agreement evidencing, guaranteeing, securing or relating to indebtedness) to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of their respective properties or assets are subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Deposit Agreement and by the Registration Statement, the F-6 Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities (including the use of proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and in the French Listing Prospectus (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the articles of association or by‑laws, partnership agreement or operating agreement or similar organizational documents, as applicable, of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except for such violations, conflicts, breaches, Defaults, Debt Repayment Triggering Event, lien, charge or encumbrance specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Deposit Agreement and by the Registration Statement, the F-6 Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, except for the approval by AMF of the French Listing Prospectus and the publication by Euronext of notices (avis) with respect to the listing of the Firm Shares, the Option Shares and the Underlying Shares and such as have been obtained or made by the Company and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act and such as may be required under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or Nasdaq. As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(t) Compliance with Laws. The Company and its subsidiaries have been and are in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, except where failure to be so in compliance would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) No Material Actions or Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation brought by or before any governmental entity now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or with the employees of any principal supplier, manufacturer, customer or contractor of the Company, exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened or imminent, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its subsidiaries own, or have obtained valid and enforceable licenses for, the inventions, patent applications, patents, trademarks, trade names, service names, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus as being owned or licensed by them or which are necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted (collectively, “Intellectual Property”). To the Company’s knowledge: (i) there are no third parties who have rights to any Intellectual Property, except for customary reversionary rights of third-party licensors with respect to Intellectual Property that is disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus as licensed to the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries; and (ii) there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others: (A) challenging the Company’s rights in or to any Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or claim; (B) challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or claim; or (C) asserting that the Company or any of its subsidiaries infringes or otherwise violates, or would, upon the commercialization of any product or service described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus as under development, infringe or violate, any patent, trademark, trade name, service name, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or claim. Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its subsidiaries have complied with the terms of each agreement pursuant to which Intellectual Property has been licensed to the Company or any subsidiary, and all such agreements are in full force and effect. The product candidates described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and the French Listing Prospectus as under development by the Company or any subsidiary fall within the scope of the claims of one or more patents owned by, or exclusively licensed to, the Company or any subsidiary.

(w) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits required by French, United States (state or federal) or other foreign regulatory agencies or bodies to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted and as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus (“Permits”), except where failure to so possess would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of, or in default under, any of the Permits or has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non‑compliance with, any such Permit.

The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property material to its business held under lease by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Company or such subsidiary.

(y) Tax Law Compliance. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have timely filed with the appropriate governmental authority all United States federal, state, local, and non-United States tax returns required to be filed through the date hereof, or have properly requested extensions thereof, such tax returns are true, correct and complete in all respects, and the Company and each of its subsidiaries have timely paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them (whether or not shown on a tax return) through the date hereof including any related or similar assessment, interest, fine or penalty levied against any of them, except as may be being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or except where the failure to file a tax return or the failure to pay any tax would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or its subsidiaries is under audit by any governmental authorities, and none of them has received written notice of any pending or threatened audit other than with respect to routine tax audits which the Company does not reasonably believe would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(l) above in respect of all United States federal, state, local, and non-United States taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has not been finally determined. Except as described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, no transaction, documentary, stamp, capital or other issuance, registration, transaction, transfer or withholding tax or duty (including, for the avoidance of doubt, financial transaction tax as set out in Article 235 ter ZD of the Code général des impôts) is payable in France by or on behalf of the Underwriters to any taxing authority in connection with (i) the issuance, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities by the Company, the issuance of the ADSs by the Depositary, and the delivery of the Offered Securities (other than the ADSs) to or for the account of the Underwriters; (ii) the purchase from the Company, and the initial sale, transfer and delivery by the Underwriters of the Offered Securities to purchasers thereof; (iii) the deposit of the Ordinary Shares with the Depositary and the issuance and delivery by the Depositary of the ADRs evidencing the ADSs; or (iv) the execution, delivery and consummation of this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement or any other document to be furnished hereunder.

The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of its subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(aa) Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any French, U.S. (federal, state or local) or other foreign statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, policy or rule of common law or any judicial or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial or administrative order, consent, decree or judgment, relating to pollution or protection of human health, the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the release or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum or petroleum products (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) or to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials (collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries have all permits, authorizations and approvals required under any applicable Environmental Law and are each in compliance with their requirements; (iii) there are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened administrative, regulatory or judicial actions, suits, demands, demand letters, claims, liens, notices of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating to any Environmental Law against the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and (iv) to the Company’s knowledge, there are no events or circumstances existing as of the date hereof that might reasonably be expected to form the basis of an order for clean-up or remediation, or an action, suit or proceeding by any private party or governmental body or agency, against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries relating to Hazardous Materials or any Environmental Laws.

(bb) ERISA Compliance. The Company and its subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or their “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”) of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member. Except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. Except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each employee benefit plan established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and, to the knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(cc) Company Not an “Investment Company”; Not a “Passive Foreign Investment Company”. The Company is not, and will not be, either after receipt of payment for the Offered Securities or after the application of the proceeds therefrom as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, and in the French Listing Prospectus under the caption “Raisons de l’émission et Utilisation du Produit de l’émission,” required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). For the taxable year ended December 31, 2019, the Company does not believe that it was a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) as such term is defined in Section 1297 of the Code, and it is not yet known whether the Company will be a PFIC for the taxable year that includes the offering and sale of the Offered Securities.

(dd) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation; Compliance with Regulation M. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has taken, directly or indirectly (without giving effect to the activities by the Underwriters), any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in any unlawful stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Offered Securities or of any “reference security” (as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”)) with respect to the Offered Securities, whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Offered Securities or otherwise, and has taken no action which would directly or indirectly violate Regulation M. Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in, or that has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, the stabilization of the Offered Securities in violation of applicable European Union or French laws or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Securities. The Company has not taken or omitted to take any action nor will take any action or omit to take any action which may result in the loss by any of the Underwriters of the ability to rely on any stabilization safe harbor provided under the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buy-back programs and stabilization measures.

The Company has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of EU Regulation No 596/2014 of April 16, 2014 on market abuse, delegated EU regulations adopted thereunder and the equivalent French laws and regulations (the “Market Abuse Rules”) and has taken adequate measures and has adequate procedures in place in order to ensure such compliance. Neither the allotment of the Offered Securities nor the sale of the Offered Securities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will cause or result in the violation of any material provision of the Market Abuse Rules, and no Company's executive directors, board members and supervisory board members and to the knowledge of the Company, no officer, agent, or other person acting on behalf of the Company (except for the Underwriters, in respect of which the Company makes no representation) has done any act or engaged in any course of conduct constituting such violation.

(ff) Related-Party Transactions. There are no business relationships or related-party transactions, including conventions réglementées under Article L. 225-38 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other person required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus that have not been described as required.

To the extent required, the Company has obtained the written consent to the use of such data from such sources.

(jj) No Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary, has made any contribution or other payment to any official of, or candidate for, any federal, state or foreign office in violation of any law or of the character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus.

Except as provided by laws or statutes generally applicable to transactions of the type described in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its respective properties, assets or revenues has any right of immunity under French, New York or United States law, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any French, New York or United States federal court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement. To the extent that the Company or any of its respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company waives or will waive such right to the extent permitted by law and has consented to such relief and enforcement as provided in Section 18 of this Agreement.

(qq) Enforceability of Judgments. Any final judgment for a fixed or readily calculable sum of money rendered by a New York Court in respect of any suit, action or proceeding against the Company based upon this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement would be recognized and enforced in France, without a review of the substantive matters thereby adjudicated, through an action for exequatur brought before the competent French court (subject to appeal against the exequatur order itself, again without a review of the substantive matters adjudicated by the relevant final judgment, and subject to further recourse before the French Supreme Court, again without a review of the substantive matters adjudicated by the relevant final judgment), provided that such French court is provided with a French-language version of this Agreement, and/or the Deposit Agreement, or relevant excerpts thereof to the extent required and both the original and a translation into French (by a sworn translator) of the relevant final judgment and other relevant documents and determines that the requirements developed by case law for the enforcement of foreign judgments are satisfied, in particular that:

(i) such final judgment was rendered by a court having jurisdiction over the matter, as the dispute is clearly connected to the jurisdiction of such court (i.e., there was no international forum-shopping), the choice of the New York Court was not fraudulent and the French courts did not have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter;

(ii) such final judgment does not contravene French international public policy rules, both pertaining to the merits and to the procedure of the case, including fair trial rights; and

(iii) such final judgment is not tainted with fraud under French law (i.e., the parties did not submit the dispute to a foreign court in order to maliciously avoid the application of French law) and does not conflict with a French judgment or a foreign judgment having the same subject-matter that has become effective in France.

(rr) Forward-Looking Statements. Each financial or operational projection or other “forward-looking statement” (as defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act or Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus (i) was so included by the Company in good faith and with reasonable basis after due consideration by the Company of the underlying assumptions, estimates and other applicable facts and circumstances and (ii) is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying those factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward‑looking statement. No such statement was made with the knowledge of an executive officer or director of the Company that it was false or misleading.

(ss) No Outstanding Loans or Other Extensions of Credit. The Company does not have any outstanding extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan, to or for any director or executive officer (or equivalent thereof) of the Company except for such extensions of credit as are expressly permitted by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

Section 2. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Offered Securities.

(a) The Firm Securities. Upon the terms herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters an aggregate of [●] Firm ADSs and [●] Firm Shares. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company up to the respective number of Firm ADSs or Firm Shares, as applicable, set forth opposite their names on Schedule A, at the purchase price set forth in accordance with Section 2(d) below; plus any additional number of Firm Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 (subject, in each case, to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the applicable Representatives in their sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchase of fractional Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be). It is understood that the obligations of the Underwriters contained in this Agreement shall not constitute a performance guarantee (garantie de bonne fin) within the meaning of Article L. 225-145 of the French Commercial Code.

(b) The First Closing Date. Delivery of certificates for the Firm Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters and payment therefor shall be made at the offices of Xxxxxx LLP, New York, NY (or such other place as may be agreed to by the Company and the Representatives) at [9:00] a.m. New York City time, on [●], 2020, or such other time and date not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the tenth business day thereafter as the Representatives shall designate by notice to the Company (the time and date of such closing are called the “First Closing Date”). The Company hereby acknowledges that circumstances under which the Representatives may provide notice to postpone the First Closing Date as originally scheduled include, but are not limited to, any determination by the Company or the Representatives to recirculate to the public copies of an amended or supplemented Prospectus or a delay as contemplated by the provisions of Section 11.

In addition, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby agrees to issue, at the option of the several Underwriters, up to an aggregate of [●] Option Securities, comprised of Option Shares at the Share Purchase Price (as defined below) and/or Option ADSs at the ADS Purchase Price (as defined below) to be sold to the several Underwriters. The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time in whole or in part upon notice by the Representatives to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within 30 days from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of Option Securities as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and (ii) the time, date and place at which the Option Securities will be delivered (which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the First Closing Date; and in the event that such time and date are simultaneous with the First Closing Date, the term “First Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of the Firm Securities and such Option Securities). Such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the First Closing Date, is called the “Option Closing Date,” shall be determined by the Representatives and shall not be earlier than two or later than five full business days after delivery of such notice of exercise. If any Option ADSs and/or Option Shares are to be purchased, each relevant Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase that proportion of the total number of Option ADSs or Option Shares, as the case may be, then being purchased which the number of Firm ADSs or Firm Shares, as the case may be, as set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such relevant Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Securities to be purchased (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, as the applicable Representatives may determine). The Representatives and the Company, by mutual consent, may determine that all or a portion of the Option Shares be delivered in the form of ADSs and that all or a portion of the Option ADSs be delivered as Ordinary Shares, and payment therefor shall be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros, as the case may be.

(d) Payment for the Offered Securities. The Firm Shares (and, as the case may be, the Option Shares) and the Firm ADS (and, as the case may be, the Optional ADS) are being offered as part of a single capital increase at an identical price of $[●] per ADS (the “ADS Purchase Price”) corresponding to €[●] per Ordinary Share (the “Share Purchase Price” and, together with the ADS Purchase Price, the “Offering Price”) based upon the exchange rate, as agreed between the Company and the Representatives, and exclusive of the commissions set forth in Section 2(f) below. Payment of the Share Purchase Price or the ADS Purchase Price, as applicable, for the Offered Securities shall be made to the Company on or prior to the First Closing Date (and, as the case may be, on or prior to the Option Closing Date) (i) in Euros with respect to the Firm Shares (or Option Shares, as the case may be) by wire transfer or credit of immediately available funds of an amount equal to the product of [●] Firm Shares (or Option Shares, as the case may be) sold in the European Offering by the Ordinary Share Purchase Price to the account or accounts designated by the Company in writing at least two business days prior to the First Closing Date (or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be), which account shall be held at CM-CIC Securities, as transfer agent and registrar of the Company (the “Registrar”), by any of the European Representatives for purposes of settlement and delivery of the Offered Shares and (ii) in United States dollars with respect to the Firm ADSs (or Option ADSs, as the case may be) by wire transfer or credit of immediately available funds of an amount equal to the product of the [●] Firm ADSs (or Option ADSs, as the case may be) sold in the U.S. Offering by the ADS Purchase Price to the account or accounts designated by the Company in writing at least two business days prior to the First Closing Date (or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be), which account shall be held at the Registrar, by Jefferies as Representative of the U.S. Underwriters for purposes of settlement and delivery of the Offered ADSs. No later than [10:00] a.m. Central European Time on the First Closing Date and, as the case may be, the Option Closing Date, the Registrar shall issue the depositary certificate (certificat du dépositaire) in accordance with Article L. 225-146 of the French Commercial Code, relating to the capital increase, and, as the case may be, the additional capital increase, of the Company, and shall deliver two originals of such certificate to the Company. At least one full business day prior to the First Closing Date, the Company shall have taken all actions and provided the Registrar with all notices, documents, corporate authorizations or other instruments necessary or required to effectuate the issuance of the certificat du dépositaire referred herein.

(e) Delivery of the Offered Securities. On the First Closing Date and, as the case may be, on the Option Closing Date, immediately after issuing the certificat du dépositaire, the Registrar shall: (i) send to Euroclear France, in the name and on behalf of the Company, a lettre comptable for the creation of the Firm Shares (and, as the case may be, the Option Shares) and of the Underlying Shares corresponding to the Firm ADSs (and, as the case may be, the Option ADSs) and for credit thereof no later than on the First Closing Date (and, as the case may be, the Option Closing Date) in a securities account opened in the name and on behalf of the Company in the books of the Registrar; (ii) transfer and credit the Firm Shares (and, as the case may be, the Option Shares) to a securities account opened in the books of one of the European Representatives for purposes of settlement and delivery of the Offered Securities; and (iii) transfer the Underlying Shares corresponding to the Firm ADSs (and, as the case may be, the Option ADSs) to Citibank, N.A., as custodian under the Deposit Agreement, for the account of the Depositary against issuance of ADRs evidencing ADSs in accordance with the Deposit Agreement. Delivery of the Offered ADSs and/or the ADRs evidencing Offered ADSs shall be made through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) unless the applicable Representatives shall otherwise instruct. Prior to the First Closing Date, the Company shall have taken all actions and made all necessary filings with Euronext and Euroclear France, and with the Depositary and DTC, to facilitate the transfer of the Offered Shares through Euroclear France and the Offered ADSs through DTC. The ADRs evidencing the Offered ADSs shall be registered in such names and denominations as the applicable Representatives shall have requested at least one full business day prior to the First Closing Date (or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be). Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.

(f) Underwriting Commissions. As compensation for the Underwriters’ commitments, the Company shall pay, or cause the Registrar to pay, to Jefferies, as Representative of the Underwriters for purposes of settlement and delivery of the Offered Securities, a commission equal to the sum of (i) the product of $[●] and the number of Firm ADSs (and/or Option ADSs, as the case may be) to be issued at the First Closing Date (or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be) and (ii) the product of €[●] and the number of Firm Shares (and/or Option Shares, as the case may be) to be issued at the First Closing Date (or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be). The aforementioned commissions shall be deducted from the gross proceeds payable to the Company on the First Closing Date (or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be) and shall be paid on such date by the Registrar to the Underwriters as soon as possible after issuance of the certificat du dépositaire referred to in Section 2(d) above. The Company irrevocably agrees to such transfer.

(a) Delivery of Registration Statement, F-6 Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus.

If the Commission shall enter any such stop order or the AMF shall issue such order or if any such challenge is issued at any time, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order or to oppose such challenge at the earliest possible moment.

If any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus so that the Prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule) to a purchaser, not misleading, or if in the opinion of the Representatives or counsels for the Underwriters it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the Company agrees (subject to Section 3(b) and Section 3(c) hereof) to promptly prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule) to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law. Neither the Representatives’ consent to, nor delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the Company’s obligations under Section 3(b) or Section 3(c). The information contained in such amendment or supplement shall be made available, to the extent the Representatives reasonably determine that it is required by applicable French laws after consultation with the Company, to the public in France either through the Note d’Opération or, after the French Listing Prospectus has been approved by the AMF, through a press release broadcasted pursuant to applicable AMF rules or, if necessary, a supplement to the Note d’Opération.

The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Offered Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof as soon as possible.

On the date of this Agreement and on each of the First Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof and addressed to the Underwriters, of its Chief Financial Officer with respect to certain financial data contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives.

(r) Additional Documents. On or before each of the First Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, the Representatives and counsels for the Underwriters shall have received such customary information, documents and opinions as they may reasonably request for the purposes of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities as contemplated herein, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties, or the satisfaction of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.

If any condition specified in this Section 5 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by written notice from Jefferies to the Company at any time on or prior to the First Closing Date and, with respect to the Option Securities, at any time on or prior to the Option Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Section 4, Section 7, Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

Section 7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 6, Section 11 or Section 12, or if the sale to the Underwriters of the Offered Securities on the First Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company agrees to reimburse the Representatives and the other Underwriters (or such Underwriters as have terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves), severally, upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Representatives and the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Offered Securities, including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges. provided, however, that in the event any such termination is effected after the First Closing Date but prior to the Option Closing Date with respect to the purchase of any Option Securities, the Company shall only reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, incurred after the First Closing Date in connection with the proposed purchase of any such Option Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Company will not pay or reimburse any costs, fees or expenses incurred by any Underwriter that defaults on its obligations to purchase the Offered Securities.

Section 8. Effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

Section 9. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or the laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Offered Securities have been offered or sold or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (A) (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the F-6 Registration Statement, or any amendment to the Registration Statement or F-6 Registration Statement, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or F-6 Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or F-6 Registration Statement not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, any Section 5(d) Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the foregoing), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the French Listing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the French Listing Prospectus or necessary to make the statements in the French Listing Prospectus not misleading; or (iv) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Offered Securities or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i) or (ii) above; and to reimburse each Underwriter and each such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent and controlling person for any and all reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are incurred by such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company by the Representatives in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the F-6 Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the French Listing Prospectus, any such free writing prospectus, any Marketing Material, any Section 5(d) Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described in Section 9(b) below. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and its Board Members and Officers. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its supervisory board members, executive board members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and the F-6 Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, or any such board member, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the F-6 Registration Statement, or any amendment to the Registration Statement or F-6 Registration Statement, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or F-6 Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or F-6 Registration Statement not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433 of the Securities Act, any Section 5(d) Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any such amendment or supplement) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the French Listing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the French Listing Prospectus or necessary to make the statements in the French Listing Prospectus not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the F-6 Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, such free writing prospectus, such Section 5(d) Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any such amendment or supplement) or the French Listing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by the Representatives in writing expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are incurred by the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Representatives have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the F-6 Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the French Listing Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, any Section 5(d) Written Communication or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the foregoing) are the statements set forth in the first sentence of the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting,” the sixth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting,” the first paragraph and table under the caption “Underwriting—Commission and Expenses,” the paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting—Stabilization,” and the first sentence under the caption “Underwriting—Electronic Distribution” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party to the extent the indemnifying party is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure and shall not in any event relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election to so assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), which counsel (together with any local counsel) for the indemnified parties shall be selected by Jefferies (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 9(a) above) or by the Company (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 9(b) above)) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred upon receipt from the indemnified party of a written request for payment thereof accompanied by a written statement with reasonable supporting detail of such fees and expenses.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 9(c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

Section 10. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Offered Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 9(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 10; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 9(c) for purposes of indemnification.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 10.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 10, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each member of the supervisory board of the Company, each member of the executive board of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement or the F-6 Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

Section 11. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the First Closing Date or the Option Closing Date any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, in the proportions that the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the applicable Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the First Closing Date or any Option Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities and the aggregate number of Offered Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 7, Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the applicable Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the First Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 11. Any action taken under this Section 11 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

Section 12. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the purchase of the Firm Securities by the Underwriters on the First Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the Nasdaq, the AMF and/or Euronext or trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange or Euronext shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of United States federal, New York or French authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States, French or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in the United States’, France’s or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable to market the Offered Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or the French Listing Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representatives may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured. Any termination pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company to any Underwriter, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 4 or Section 7 hereof or (b) any Underwriter to the Company; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

Section 13. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Offered Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or its shareholders, creditors or employees, or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

Section 14. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

Section 16. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, including any substitute Underwriters pursuant to Section 11 hereof, and to the benefit of the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 9 and Section 10, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors” shall not include any purchaser of the Offered Securities as such from any of the Underwriters merely by reason of such purchase.

Section 17. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Section 18. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

A. In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

B. In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Agreement, (A) “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. Sec. 1841(k); (B) “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. Sec. 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. Sec. 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. Sec. 382.2(b); (C) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. Sec.Sec. 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and (D) “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 19. Governing Law Provisions; Currency Provisions. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such state. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any such court (a “Related Judgment”), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company and each other party not located in the United States has irrevocably appointed CT Corporation, which currently maintains an office at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 10005, United States of America, as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any such suit, action or proceeding that may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, United States of America.

With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any Related Judgment, each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement in respect of any sum due to any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by any Underwriter of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which such Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter in United States dollars hereunder, the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder, such Underwriter agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder.

All payments made by the Company under this Agreement, if any, will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than taxes on net income) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any taxing authority unless the Company is or becomes required by law to withhold or deduct such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges. In such event, the Company will pay such additional amounts as will result, after such withholding or deduction, in the receipt by each Underwriter of the amounts that would otherwise have been receivable in respect thereof if no withholding or deduction had been made. If any such taxes, duties, assessments or charges are required to be withheld or deducted, the Company will promptly (and in any event within the specified time limit) pay to the relevant tax authority the amount so withheld or deducted and provide the Underwriters with evidence of such payment.

The Representatives and the Underwriters may provide their services through or in conjunction with one or more of their affiliates, and references in this Agreement to the “Representatives” and the “Underwriters” shall, save where the context otherwise requires, include any such affiliates.

As Representatives of the several Underwriters

RE: Nanobiotix S.A. (the “Company”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an executive board member or supervisory board member of the Company and/or a record or beneficial owner of ordinary shares, nominal value €0.03 per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for ADSs (as defined below) or Ordinary Shares. The Company proposes to conduct an underwritten registered offering of Ordinary Shares, which may be in the form of American Depositary Shares of the Company (“ADSs”), each ADS representing one Ordinary Share of the Company (the “Offering”), for which Xxxxxxxxx LLC, Evercore Group L.L.C and UBS Securities LLC will act as representatives of the Underwriters (the “Representatives”). The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will benefit each of the Company and the undersigned. The undersigned acknowledges that the Underwriters are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and other underwriting arrangements with the Company with respect to the Offering.

Annex A sets forth definitions for capitalized terms used in this letter agreement that are not defined in the body of this letter agreement. Those definitions are a part of this letter agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, during the Lock-up Period, the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), without the prior written consent of the Representatives, which may withhold their consent in their sole discretion:

•

Sell or Offer to Sell any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or such Family Member,

•

enter into any Swap,

E-1

•

make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration, or

•

publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.

The foregoing will not apply to the registration of the offer and sale of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs in the Offering, and the sale of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs in the Offering to the Underwriters, in each case as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

transfers or dispositions of ADSs and Ordinary Shares acquired in the Offering or in open market transactions following the Offering; provided, however, that no filing or notification under the Exchange Act or other public filing or disclosure will be required or will be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such transfers or dispositions under this clause (i);

ii.

transfers of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or any Related Securities as a bona fide gift;

iii.

transfers of ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any Related Securities by will or intestate succession or to any Family Member or to a trust whose beneficiaries consist exclusively of one or more of the undersigned and/or a Family Member;

iv.

transfers by operation of law, such as transfers of ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any Related Securities pursuant to a domestic order or negotiated divorce settlement;

transfers to the Company in connection with the repurchase of ADSs or Ordinary Shares in connection with the termination of the undersigned’s employment with the Company pursuant to contractual agreements with the Company as in effect as of the date of the final prospectus for the Offering, provided, that no filing or notification under the Exchange Act or other public filing or disclosure will be required or will be voluntarily made during the Lock-up Period in connection with such transfers pursuant to this clause (v);

vi.

the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of ADSs and/or Ordinary Shares, provided that (a) such plan does not provide for the transfer of ADSs or Ordinary Shares during the Lock-up Period and (b) to the extent a public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of, or voluntarily made by or on behalf of, the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such disclosure or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of ADSs or Ordinary Shares may be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period;

vii.

transfers pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer for all outstanding ADSs and Ordinary Shares of the Company, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s securities involving a change of control of at least 90% of the voting share capital of the Company (including, without limitation, the entering into any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or other such securities in connection with such transaction, or vote any ADSs or Ordinary Shares or other such securities in favor of any such transaction), provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, such securities held by the undersigned shall remain subject to the provisions of this letter agreement; and

E-2

viii.

(a) exercises of stock options, warrants (bons de souscription d’actions), founders’ warrants (bons de souscription de parts de créateur d’entreprise) or vesting of free shares (acquisition définitive d’actions gratuites) outstanding, described in the final prospectus for this Offering, and held by the undersigned on the date hereof, provided that, subject to sub-clause (b) of this clause (viii), any ADSs and Ordinary Shares received upon exercise thereof shall remain subject to the provisions of this letter agreement; and (b) dispositions pursuant to any exercise or vesting described in sub-clause (a) of this clause (viii) on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or otherwise for the purpose of satisfying any applicable taxes (including estimated taxes) due in connection with such exercise or vesting. With respect to this clause (viii), no public disclosure will be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such exercises, vesting and/or dispositions and to the extent any public disclosure or filing is required by law, such disclosure or filing shall state that any disposition pursuant to sub-clause (b) of this clause (viii) is made for the purposes set forth in sub-clause (b);

provided, however, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) (in the event such subsequent resale does not occur in an open market transaction), (ii), (iii) and (iv), it shall be a condition to such transfer that:

•

each donee or transferee executes and delivers to the Representatives an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives stating that such donee or transferee is receiving and holding such ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell such ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or Related Securities, engage in any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter agreement except in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such donee or transferee had been an original signatory hereto), and

•

prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure, filing or notification under the Exchange Act or other applicable laws and regulations, by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or Related Securities in connection with such transfer.

In addition, if the undersigned is an executive board member or supervisory board member of the Company, (i) the Representatives agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of ADSs, the Representatives will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company (in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement) will announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such executive board member or supervisory board member shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if both (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration or that is to a Rule 5130 Family Member and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter agreement that are applicable to the transferor to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned’s Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any ADSs, Ordinary Shares and/or any Related Securities owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.

E-3

The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs. The undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to take, directly or indirectly, any such action.

Whether or not the Offering occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and other factors. The Offering will only be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.

This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

If (i) the Company notifies the Representatives in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed before [March 31, 2021], or (iii) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) terminates or is terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the shares in the Offering, then in each case, this letter agreement shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any other party, terminate and be of no further force and effect, and the undersigned shall automatically be released from its obligations under this letter agreement.
