(a) During the period commencing at the Closing and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months after the Closing (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company), Buyer shall and shall cause the Company to, and the Company shall, provide each Employee who remains employed immediately after the Closing (“Company Continuing Employee”) with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which are no less than the target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing; (iii) retirement and welfare benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing; and (iv) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the practice, plan or policy in effect for such Company Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. This Section shall not affect, in any way, Buyer’s right to terminate any such Company Continuing Employee.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employees to participate effective as of the Closing, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, recognize all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Buyer Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (y) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Benefit Plan.

(c) This Section 6.01 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.01, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.01. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 6.01 shall not create any right in any Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever. The Parties agree that any severance fees or other employment termination costs arising prior to the Closing shall be borne exclusively by the Seller.

Section 6.02. Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Buyer acknowledges that all rights to indemnification now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, an officer or director of the Company, as provided in the Articles of Association or other governing documents of the Company, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Schedule 6.02 hereto, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(b) The Company shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, at Seller’s sole expense, obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Seller shall pay for all costs and expenses incurred in complying with this Section 6.02(b).

(c) The obligations of Buyer and the Company under this Section 6.02 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any director or officer to whom this Section 6.02 applies without the consent of such affected director or officer (it being expressly agreed that the directors and officers to whom this Section 6.02 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.02, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.02).

(d) In the event Buyer, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.02.

Section 6.03. Books and Records.

(a) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made against or incurred by Seller prior to the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, including, without limitation, Seller’s preparation of financial statements, Tax returns and reporting arising in the ordinary course of business, for a period of two (2) years after the Closing, Buyer shall:

(i) retain the books and records (including personnel files) of the Company relating to periods prior to the Closing in a manner reasonably consistent with the prior practices of the Company; and

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Seller reasonable access (including the right to make, at Seller’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

(b) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or against or incurred by Buyer or the Company after the Closing, or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of two (2) years following the Closing, Seller shall:

(i) retain the books and records (including personnel files) of Seller which relate to the Company and its operations for periods prior to the Closing; and

(ii) upon reasonable notice, afford the Representatives of Buyer or the Company reasonable access (including the right to make, at Buyer’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours, to such books and records.

(c) Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 6.03 where such access would violate any Law.

Section 6.04. Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement; provided, however, this Section 6.04 will only apply to announcements related to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and not to any subsequent or other transaction or activities of the Company; and provided further that Seller covenants and agrees to include information related to Buyer’s assumption of debt in a Form 8-K of Seller filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission following Closing.

Section 6.05. Further Assurances. For a period of six months following the Closing, which may be extended in the sole discretion of the Buyer for an additional six (6) month period, Seller shall (i) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Buyer such other instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyer may reasonably request or as may be otherwise necessary to more effectively convey and transfer to Buyer the Shares, and (ii) in the case of any Permits, agreements, contracts, leases, and other commitments which cannot be transferred or assigned effectively without the consent of third parties, which consent has not been obtained at or prior to the Closing, cooperate with Buyer at its request in endeavoring to obtain such consent promptly following the Closing. As of the date hereof, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that it has executed original copies of the documents described in Sections 3.02(b)(i) and 3.02(b)(ii), and such documents are being delivered via overnight mail to Buyer’s counsel at the address set forth in Section 8.02 hereof.

Section 6.06. Transfer Taxes. All transfer and registration Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be borne and paid by Buyer when due. Buyer shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

Section 6.07. Non-Competition. For a period of three years following the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, whether as principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, consultant or otherwise, alone or in association with any other Person, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, acquire more than five percent of (or the right to acquire more than five percent of) any class of voting securities of, perform services for, or otherwise carry on, a communications equipment business in France. In the event any provision or provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then any such provision or provisions shall not be deemed void, and the Parties hereto agree that said limits may be modified by the court and that said covenant contained in this Section 6.07 shall be amended in accordance with said modification, it being specifically agreed by the Parties that it is their continuing desire that this covenant be enforced to the full extent of its terms and conditions or if a court finds the scope of the covenant unenforceable, the court should redefine the covenant so as to comply with applicable Law.

Section 6.08. Transaction Fees. Within five (5) days following the Closing Date, the Seller shall pay all outstanding fees that have been incurred by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including legal and other professional advisory fees; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be obligated under this Section 6.08 to pay any fees incurred by the Company in the operation of the Company’s business in the ordinary course of business that are unrelated to this Agreement, including but not limited to any fees incurred by the Company as part of its annual audit or in preparation of the Company’s financial statements.

Section 6.09. Liquidity. At all times beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date in which all post-closing adjustments contemplated by Section 2.03(b) have been fully resolved and paid, Seller shall maintain cash on its balance sheet in an amount equal to or greater than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand EUR (€150,000) in order to satisfy such post-closing adjustments immediately upon resolution as such is contemplated by Section 2.03.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.01. Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date. None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the Closing for the period contemplated by its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

Section 7.02. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII, Seller shall indemnify Buyer against, and shall hold Buyer harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer or the Company based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.03. Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII, Buyer shall indemnify Seller against, and shall hold Seller harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement; or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.04. Certain Limitations. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be, shall not exceed the Set-Off Amount (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, that with respect to any Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Buyer or the Company based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the Company’s title to and ownership of the owned Real Property (collectively, “Real Estate Losses”), the Indemnification Cap shall be increased by 50,000 EUR (the “Additional Cap”), which Additional Cap shall be used solely to satisfy any Real Estate Losses and shall terminate automatically and with immediate effect upon Buyer’s receipt from Seller of a formal deed of sale and corresponding affidavit from a French Notary Public conclusively evidencing the Company’s ownership of the owned Real Estate.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

(c) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds covering such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

(d) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages other than as owed to a third party.

Section 7.05. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or is otherwise materially prejudiced. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(b) of this Agreement, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b) of this Agreement, pay, compromise, and defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a) of this Agreement, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”). The failure to deliver a Claim Notice promptly shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or is otherwise materially prejudiced. The Claim Notice shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of the Claim Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its Representatives may reasonably request. If an Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to any Direct Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt of the Claim Notice. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then each claim for indemnification set forth in the Claim Notice shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this Article VII on the terms set forth in the Claim Notice. If an Indemnifying Party delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Indemnifying Party in such Claim Dispute Notice. If the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be prepared and signed by both parties. If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) At the option of Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off up to 150,000 EUR (the “Set-Off Amount”) of the aggregate principal amount of the Promissory Note against any payments conclusively determined to be payable by Seller to Buyer in accordance with this Article VII; provided, that in the event of any Real Estate Losses that are conclusively determined to be payable by Seller to Buyer in accordance with this Article VII, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off an additional 50,000 EUR against the aggregate principal amount of the Promissory Note.

Section 7.06. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.07. Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 8.11 of this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 8.11 of this Agreement or to seek any remedy on account of fraud by any party hereto.

ARTICLE VIII

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial.
