fulfill either of these criteria. 3. In this case or in case of death or resignation, the Board of Directors may
provisionally appoint a Director between two Shareholders Meetings provided

Directors.

of the fund, the Director shall be deemed to have resigned notwithstanding the

videoconference or other means of communication, subject to the conditions and

14 3. Each shareholder shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares
he owns or represents, subject to the specific provisions of paragraph 4 below. 4. The number of voting rights held by each shareholder (and where applicable
his proxy(ies)) at Shareholders Meetings shall be: (a) equal to the number of voting rights attached to the shares held up to
the limit of 2% of the total number of voting rights existing in the
Company, (b) calculated for the remainder, on the basis of the number of voting
rights present or represented at the Shareholders Meeting, through
application of the percentage exceeding 2% of said number of voting rights
present or represented (and calculated in accordance with the adjustment
resulting from this provision). The calculation to be made during each Shareholders Meeting is described in

purposes of this calculation, each percentage shall be calculated to two
decimal points and the number of voting rights obtained shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole number. The voting rights held by each shareholder shall be pooled with those
assimilated to his voting rights within the meaning of Article L.233-9 of the
French Commercial Code. However, no pooling shall be applied to the voting
rights attached to the shares in respect of which a proxy has been given in
accordance with the provisions of L.225-106, paragraph 7 of the French

inventory and the annual accounts, in the manner provided by law. ARTICLE 17  Allocation and Distribution of Net Income 1. The statement of income shows the revenues and expenses for the financial
year, and net income for the year is indicated as the difference, after
deducting amortization, depreciation and provisions. Out of profits for the financial year less, where applicable, losses sustained
in earlier years, there shall be deducted no less than 5% in order to create
the legal reserve fund. This deduction shall cease to be mandatory when the
reserve fund reaches 10% of the share capital. Such deduction shall be resumed
when, for any reason, the legal reserve shall have become less than one-tenth
of the share capital. The Shareholders Meeting may decide that such amounts as the Board of
Directors shall see fit, shall be transferred to provident funds or to
voluntary, ordinary or extraordinary reserve funds, or to retained earnings, or
distributed. 2. The distributable income is comprised of the net income for the fiscal year
less losses sustained in earlier years and amounts that must be allocated to
reserves in accordance with the law or the Corporate Statutes, and may be
increased by retained earnings. Dividends shall be deducted on a priority basis from net income for the fiscal
year. Except in case of a reduction in capital, no distribution may be made to
Shareholders when Shareholders Equity would become, as a result of such
distribution, less than the amount of the capital plus reserves, the
distribution of which is not permitted by applicable law or these Corporate
Statutes. Revaluation surpluses may not be distributed but may be capitalized in whole or
in part. The Shareholders Meeting may decide to distribute amounts deducted from
available reserves by indicating expressly the reserve items from which the
said amounts shall be deducted. The terms of payment of dividends shall be determined by the Shareholders
Meeting, or, failing such determination, by the Board of Directors. Dividends

##### 



16 must be paid no later than nine months after the end of the fiscal year, unless
an extension is granted by court order. The Annual Shareholders Meeting may grant each shareholder the right to choose
between payment in cash or in shares, in respect of all or part of the interim
or final dividend distributed. Dividends unclaimed for a term of five years after the declaration date shall
no longer be payable. PART VI EXTENSION  DISSOLUTION  DISPUTES ARTICLE 18  Extension  Dissolution  Liquidation 1. No later than one year before the end of the term of the Company, the Board
of Directors shall convene an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting in order to
decide whether the term of the Company is to be extended. 2. Except in the event of judicial dissolution provided by law, the Company
shall be dissolved upon the expiry of the term set forth by the Corporate
Statutes or by decision of the Shareholders Meeting. 3. The Shareholders Meeting shall determine the mode of liquidation and shall
appoint one or more liquidators whose powers it shall determine. ARTICLE 19  Disputes All disputes which may arise during the term of the Company or during its
liquidation, whether between the Shareholders and the Company or between the
Shareholders themselves in respect of corporate matters, shall be referred to
the competent courts.

17 Schedule Application of the provisions of Article 15 of the Corporate Statutes regarding
the number of voting rights held by each shareholder at Shareholders Meetings: Where: T = the total number of voting rights attached to all shares comprising the
share capital Yn = the total number of voting rights attached to the shares of Shareholders
present or represented (n), up to 2% of T per shareholder, and therefore not
subject to any limitation a, b, c = the percentage of the voting rights (by reference to T) held by A, B,
C, etc. in excess of 2% for each of them X = the total number of votes which may be cast at a Shareholders Meeting
taking into account the limitations set forth in the Corporate Statutes. This rule may be expressed as follows: X = Yn + aX + bX + cX Accordingly, the total number of votes which may be cast during a meeting (X) is equal to: X = Yn/(1-a-b-c) By calculating X it is possible to determine, for each of Shareholders A, B and
C, the total number of votes attached to voting rights exceeding 2%
(corresponding to percentages a, b, c, etc.). For each of them, it is
necessary to add 2% of T, i.e. the votes attached to voting rights not subject
to any limitation.
