Section 2.03.     Section 12
of the Deposit Agreement is amended by changing each of the references to paragraph (17) of the form of ADR contained therein to “paragraph
(17)(a)”.

 

Section 2.04.     Paragraph
(1) and the first paragraph of Paragraph (2), in each case, of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, are replaced with the following:

 

(1)  Issuance of ADSs. This
ADR is one of the ADRs issued under the Deposit Agreement. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Depositary may so issue ADRs for
delivery at the Transfer Office (as hereinafter defined) only against deposit of: (a) Shares in a form satisfactory to the Custodian;
or (b) rights to receive Shares from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Share
ownership or transactions.

 

    2 

     

    

 

 

 

Every person depositing Shares under
the Deposit Agreement represents and warrants that (a) such Shares and the certificates therefor are duly authorized, validly issued
and outstanding, fully paid, nonassessable and legally obtained by such person (b) all pre-emptive and comparable rights, if any,
with respect to such Shares have been validly waived or exercised, (c) the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do,
(d) the Shares presented for deposit are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, charge, mortgage or adverse
claim and (e)  such Shares (A) are not "restricted securities" as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Restricted Securities") unless at the time of deposit the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and
(h) of Rule 144 shall not apply and such Shares may be freely transferred and may otherwise be offered and sold freely in the
United States or (B) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. To the extent an "affiliate" of the Company,
as such term is defined in Rule 144, deposits Shares against the issuance of ADSs, or otherwise becomes a Holder or beneficial owner
of ADSs, such affiliate also represents and warrants that upon the sale of the ADSs, all of the provisions of Rule 144 which enable
the Shares represented by such ADSs to be freely sold (in the form of ADSs) will be fully complied with, or the ADSs will be sold pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such ADSs and the Shares represented thereby and,
in either case, all of the ADSs sold will not be on the sale thereof, Restricted Securities, and such affiliate further agrees that,
to the extent such affiliate is a Holder or at the request of the Company or the Depositary, prior to any such sale such affiliate will
provide to the Depositary and the Company either (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary and the Company that the
resale of the ADSs and the Shares represented thereby have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, (ii) a legal opinion of U.S. counsel reasonably acceptable to the Depositary and the Company, which opinion shall
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of the counsels to the Depositary and the Company, stating in substance that
such ADSs and the Shares represented thereby may be offered and sold in a single transaction without registration under the Securities
Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereof, and that any purchaser of the ADSs would receive
securities that are not Restricted Securities or (iii) a certificate executed by such affiliate, based on such affiliate’s
consultation with its legal counsel, certifying such matters relating to the sale of the ADSs as shall be reasonably required by each
of the counsels to the Depositary and the Company. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of Shares
and the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect thereof and the transfer of such ADSs. The Depositary may refuse to accept for such
deposit any Shares identified by the Company in order to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or
the Rules made thereunder.

 

(2)  Withdrawal of Deposited
Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), upon surrender of (i) a certificated ADR in a form satisfactory to the Depositary
at the Transfer Office or (ii) proper instructions and documentation in the case of a Direct Registration ADR, the Holder hereof
is entitled to delivery at, or to the extent in dematerialized form from, the Custodian's office of the Deposited Securities at the time
represented by the ADSs evidenced by this ADR. At the request, risk and expense of the Holder hereof, the Depositary may deliver such
Deposited Securities at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit
Agreement or this ADR, the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be restricted only for the reasons set forth in General Instruction
I.A.(1) of Form F-6 (as such instructions may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

    3 

     

    

 

 

 

SECTION 2.05.     The
first sentence of paragraph (5) of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, is amended to read as follows:

 

If any tax or other governmental charges (including any penalties
and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to this ADR, any Deposited Securities
represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder
hereof to the Depositary and by holding or having held this ADR or any ADSs evidenced hereby, the Holder and all beneficial owners hereof
and thereof, and all prior Holders and beneficial owners hereof and thereof, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save
harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect of such tax or other governmental charge. Each Holder of this ADR and beneficial
owner of the ADSs evidenced hereby, and each prior Holder and beneficial owner hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Tax Indemnitors”),
by holding or having held an ADR or an interest in ADSs, acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary shall have the right to seek payment
of amounts owing with respect to this ADR under this paragraph (5) from any one or more Tax Indemnitor(s) as determined by the
Depositary in its sole discretion, without any obligation to seek payment from any other Tax Indemnitor(s).

 

SECTION 2.06.     The
fourth sentence of paragraph (7) of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, is amended by deleting the text of subsection (iv) thereof
and inserting "and" immediately prior to subsection (iii) thereof.

 

SECTION 2.07.     The
fifth and seventh sentences of paragraph (7) of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, are deleted and the remaining ultimate
sentence of said paragraph (7) is amended by replacing “Such charges” with “The above-referenced charges”.

 

SECTION 2.08.     Paragraph
(7) of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, is further amended by inserting the following immediately after the first paragraph
thereof:

 

To facilitate the administration of various
depositary receipt transactions, including disbursement of dividends or other cash distributions and other corporate actions, the Depositary
may engage the foreign exchange desk within JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and/or its affiliates in order to enter
into spot foreign exchange transactions to convert foreign currency into U.S. dollars (“FX Transactions”). For certain currencies,
FX Transactions are entered into with the Bank or an affiliate, as the case may be, acting in a principal capacity. For other currencies,
FX Transactions are routed directly to and managed by an unaffiliated local custodian (or other third-party local liquidity provider),
and neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates is a party to such FX Transactions.

 

    4 

     

    

 

 

 

The foreign exchange rate applied to
an FX Transaction will be either (a) a published benchmark rate, or (b) a rate determined by a third-party local liquidity provider,
in each case plus or minus a spread, as applicable. The Depositary will disclose which foreign exchange rate and spread, if any, apply
to such currency on the “Disclosure” page (or successor page) of www.adr.com (as updated by the Depositary from time
to time, “ADR.com”). Such applicable foreign exchange rate and spread may (and neither the Depositary, the Bank nor any of
their affiliates is under any obligation to ensure that such rate does not) differ from rates and spreads at which comparable transactions
are entered into with other customers or the range of foreign exchange rates and spreads at which the Bank or any of its affiliates enters
into foreign exchange transactions in the relevant currency pair on the date of the FX Transaction. Additionally, the timing of execution
of an FX Transaction varies according to local market dynamics, which may include regulatory requirements, market hours and liquidity
in the foreign exchange market or other factors. Furthermore, the Bank and its affiliates may manage the associated risks of their position
in the market in a manner they deem appropriate without regard to the impact of such activities on the Company, the Depositary, Holders
or beneficial owners of ADSs. The spread applied does not reflect any gains or losses that may be earned or incurred by the Bank and its
affiliates as a result of risk management or other hedging related activity.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent the Company provides U.S. dollars to the Depositary, neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates will execute an FX Transaction
as set forth herein. In such case, the Depositary will distribute the U.S. dollars received from the Company.

 

Further details relating to the applicable
foreign exchange rate, the applicable spread and the execution of FX Transactions will be provided by the Depositary on ADR.com. The Company,
Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs each acknowledge and agree that the terms applicable to FX Transactions disclosed from time to time
on ADR.com will apply to any FX Transaction executed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

SECTION 2.09.     Paragraph
(17) of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, is amended to read as follows:

 

(17) Termination. (a) Except
as provided for in subparagraphs (b) and (c) below, the Depositary may, and shall at the written direction of the Company, terminate
the Deposit Agreement and this ADR by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such
notice for such termination; provided, however, if the Depositary shall have (i) resigned as Depositary hereunder, notice of such
termination by the Depositary shall not be provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder within 60
days of the date of such resignation, or (ii) been removed as Depositary hereunder, notice of such termination by the Depositary
shall not be provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder on the 120th day after the Company's notice
of removal was first provided to the Depositary. If at the date so fixed for termination in accordance with this subparagraph (a) the
Depositary believes the Shares are not publicly and actively listed or quoted for trading on at least one stock exchange in the European
Union, after the date so fixed for termination, (i) all Direct Registration ADRs shall cease to be eligible for the Direct Registration
System and shall be considered ADRs issued on the ADR Register, (ii) the Depositary shall charge its cancellation fee on all existing
ADSs and (iii) the Depositary shall then use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the ADSs cease to be DTC eligible so that neither
DTC nor any of its nominees shall thereafter be a Holder. At such time as the ADSs cease to be DTC eligible and/or neither DTC nor any
of its nominees is a Holder, the Depositary shall (a) instruct the Custodian to deliver all Deposited Securities to the Company along
with a general stock power that refers to the names set forth on the ADR Register and (b) provide the Company with a copy of the
ADR Register (which copy may be sent by email or by any means permitted under the notice provisions of the Deposit Agreement). Upon receipt
of such Deposited Securities and the ADR Register, the Company shall use its best efforts to issue to each Holder a Share certificate
representing the Shares represented by the ADSs reflected on the ADR Register in such Holder's name and to deliver such Share certificate
to the Holder at the address set forth on the ADR Register. If at the date so fixed for termination in accordance with this subparagraph
(a), the Depositary believes the Shares are publicly and actively listed or quoted for trading on at least one stock exchange in the European
Union, after the date so fixed for termination, (x) the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the Deposit
Agreement and this ADR, except to receive and hold (or sell) distributions on Deposited Securities and deliver Deposited Securities being
withdrawn and (y) as soon as practicable after the date so fixed for termination, the Depositary shall endeavor to sell the Deposited
Securities and shall thereafter (as long as it may lawfully do so) hold in a segregated account the net proceeds of such sales, together
with any other cash then held by it under the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit of
the Holders of ADRs not theretofore surrendered. After providing the instruction to the Custodian and delivering a copy of the ADR Register
to the Company under the third sentence of this subparagraph (a), the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the
Deposit Agreement and this ADR and shall cease to have any obligations under the Deposit Agreement and/or the ADRs. After making any such
sale under clause (y) of the second preceding sentence, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations in respect of the
Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash. After the Company receives the copy of the ADR
Register and the Deposited Securities and has complied with the provisions of the fourth preceding sentence above or, in the case of a
termination under the circumstances described in the third preceding sentence above, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations
under the Deposit Agreement except (i) to distribute the Shares to the Holders entitled thereto, if applicable, and (ii) for
its obligations to the Depositary and its agents.

 

    6 

     

    

 

 

 

(b)            To
the extent the Depositary has been notified that the Deposited Securities have been purchased for cash, or that a court has approved a
scheme of arrangement or comparable type of transaction pursuant to which such Deposited Securities will be purchased for cash, in either
case in a transaction that is mandatory and binding on the Depositary as a holder of those Deposited Securities the Depositary may immediately
terminate the Deposit Agreement effective as of the date notice is first provided to Holders or such later date established by the Depositary
and stated in such notice in order to coincide with or be close to the date on which the Deposited Securities have been or will be exchanged
for cash (a termination under this subparagraph (b) being a "Termination Event"). After the date so fixed for termination
under this subparagraph (b), the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except
to receive the cash received as a result of such Termination Event and, after giving effect to the conversion of such cash into U.S. dollars
and the deduction of any fees and expenses provided for herein or contemplated hereby, hold the resulting net cash amount as long as it
may lawfully do so in an account (which may be a segregated or unsegregated account), together with any other cash then held by it under
the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of ADRs not theretofore surrendered.
After the Depositary has received any such cash, (i) the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations in respect of the Deposit
Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net cash amount received and other cash and (ii) the Company shall be discharged
from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary and its agents.

 

(c)            To
the extent the Company and a bidder have entered into a contractual arrangement pursuant to which the bidder has made or will make a cash
offer for the ADSs and/or the Deposited Securities which has been recommended by the Company, and the Company has provided the Depositary
with written notice of its desire to terminate the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall terminate the Deposit Agreement and this ADR
by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination; provided,
however that the date of termination shall not be prior to the close of business on the first day after the last day of the initial cash
offer period established by such bidder (as the same may be extended in accordance with applicable rules) (the “Initial Offer Closing
Date”) if such bidder has accepted for payment all of the securities (including ADSs and/or Deposited Securities) that have been
tendered for payment on or prior to the Initial Offer Closing Date. If the bidder has not accepted for payment all of the securities that
have been tendered pursuant to such public offer on or prior to the Initial Offer Closing Date, the termination notice under this subparagraph
(c) shall be deemed withdrawn and the Deposit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unless otherwise terminated thereafter
pursuant to subparagraph 17(a) above. If the bidder accepts for payment all of the securities that have been tendered on or prior
to the Initial Closing Date, then after the date fixed for termination under this subparagraph (c), the Depositary and its agents will
perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except, (i) if the bidder has instituted a subsequent offer acceptance
period for the Deposited Securities and such subsequent offer acceptance period is still open, to tender any Deposited Securities then
remaining under this Deposit Agreement into the offer made by the bidder on the terms thereof, or (ii) if there is no subsequent
offer acceptance period for the Deposited Securities or such period has closed in accordance with its terms and the bidder has offered
in writing to purchase all of the remaining Deposited Securities at a per share price at least equal to the price paid in the tender offer
period most recently closed, to sell such Deposited Securities to the bidder at such price in an open market transaction or otherwise
in an arms-length transaction, and, in the case of (i) or (ii) to receive the cash received as a result of such sale and, after
giving effect to the conversion of such cash into U.S. dollars and the deduction of any fees and expenses provided for herein or contemplated
hereby, hold the resulting net cash amount as long as it may lawfully do so in an account (which may be a segregated or unsegregated account),
together with any other cash then held by it under the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit
of the Holders of ADRs not theretofore surrendered. After the Depositary has received any such cash, (A) the Depositary shall be
discharged from all obligations in respect of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net cash amount received
and other cash and (B) the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations
to the Depositary and its agents. If after the date fixed for termination under this subparagraph (c) any of the conditions in clause
(ii) are not met, the provisions of subparagraph 17(a) above shall apply with regard to the Depositary’s obligations after
the date fixed for termination.

(A Société Anonyme organized under
the laws of France)

 

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association
organized under the laws of the United States of America, as depositary hereunder (the "Depositary"), hereby certifies that                   is
the registered owner (a "Holder") of                          American
Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each (subject to paragraph (13)) representing one ordinary share (including the rights to receive
Shares described in paragraph (1), "Shares" and, together with any other securities, cash or property from time to time held
by the Depositary in respect or in lieu of deposited Shares, the "Deposited Securities"), of Talend S.A. (the "Company"),
a société anonyme organized under the laws of France, deposited under the Deposit Agreement dated as of July 28, 2016
(as amended from time to time, the "Deposit Agreement") among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders from time to time
of American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder ("ADRs"), each of whom by accepting an ADR becomes a party thereto. The Deposit
Agreement and this ADR (which includes the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof) shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.

 

    A-1 

     

    

 

 

 

(1)  Issuance of ADSs. This ADR is
one of the ADRs issued under the Deposit Agreement. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Depositary may so issue ADRs for delivery
at the Transfer Office (as hereinafter defined) only against deposit of: (a) Shares in a form satisfactory to the Custodian; or (b) rights
to receive Shares from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Share ownership or transactions.

 

Every person depositing Shares under the Deposit
Agreement represents and warrants that (a) such Shares and the certificates therefor are duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding,
fully paid, nonassessable and legally obtained by such person (b) all pre-emptive and comparable rights, if any, with respect to
such Shares have been validly waived or exercised, (c) the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do, (d) the Shares
presented for deposit are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, charge, mortgage or adverse claim and (e) 
such Shares (A) are not "restricted securities" as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933
("Restricted Securities") unless at the time of deposit the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144
shall not apply and such Shares may be freely transferred and may otherwise be offered and sold freely in the United States or (B) have
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. To the extent an "affiliate" of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144,
deposits Shares against the issuance of ADSs, or otherwise becomes a Holder or beneficial owner of ADSs, such affiliate also represents
and warrants that upon the sale of the ADSs, all of the provisions of Rule 144 which enable the Shares represented by such ADSs to
be freely sold (in the form of ADSs) will be fully complied with, or the ADSs will be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act covering the resale of such ADSs and the Shares represented thereby and, in either case, all of the ADSs sold
will not be on the sale thereof, Restricted Securities, and such affiliate further agrees that, to the extent such affiliate is a Holder
or at the request of the Company or the Depositary, prior to any such sale such affiliate will provide to the Depositary and the Company
either (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary and the Company that the resale of the ADSs and the Shares represented
thereby have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) a legal opinion of U.S.
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Depositary and the Company, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to each of the counsels to the Depositary and the Company, stating in substance that such ADSs and the Shares represented thereby may
be offered and sold in a single transaction without registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements thereof, and that any purchaser of the ADSs would receive securities that are not Restricted Securities
or (iii) a certificate executed by such affiliate, based on such affiliate’s consultation with its legal counsel, certifying
such matters relating to the sale of the ADSs as shall be reasonably required by each of the counsels to the Depositary and the Company.
Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of Shares and the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect
thereof and the transfer of such ADSs. The Depositary may refuse to accept for such deposit any Shares identified by the Company in order
to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Rules made thereunder.

(2)  Withdrawal of Deposited Securities.
Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), upon surrender of (i) a certificated ADR in a form satisfactory to the Depositary at the
Transfer Office or (ii) proper instructions and documentation in the case of a Direct Registration ADR, the Holder hereof is entitled
to delivery at, or to the extent in dematerialized form from, the Custodian's office of the Deposited Securities at the time represented
by the ADSs evidenced by this ADR. At the request, risk and expense of the Holder hereof, the Depositary may deliver such Deposited Securities
at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this ADR,
the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be restricted only for the reasons set forth in General Instruction I.A. (1) of Form F-6
(as such instructions may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

(3)  Transfers of ADRs. The Depositary
or its agent will keep, at a designated transfer office (the "Transfer Office"), (a) a register (the "ADR Register")
for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADRs, and, in the case of Direct Registration ADRs, shall
include the Direct Registration System, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by Holders and the Company for the purpose
of communicating with Holders in the interest of the business of the Company or a matter relating to the Deposit Agreement and (b) facilities
for the delivery and receipt of ADRs. The term ADR Register includes the Direct Registration System. Title to this ADR (and to the Deposited
Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby), when properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery
to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments
under the laws of the State of New York; provided that the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the
person in whose name this ADR is registered on the ADR Register as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and neither the Depositary
nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any holder of an ADR, unless such
holder is the Holder thereof. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), this ADR is transferable on the ADR Register and may be split into
other ADRs or combined with other ADRs into one ADR, evidencing the aggregate number of ADSs surrendered for split-up or combination,
by the Holder hereof or by duly authorized attorney upon surrender of this ADR at the Transfer Office properly endorsed (in the case of
ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer and duly stamped as may be required by
applicable law; provided that the Depositary may close the ADR Register at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient
by it. At the request of a Holder, the Depositary shall, for the purpose of substituting a certificated ADR with a Direct Registration
ADR, or vice versa, execute and deliver a certificated ADR or a Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, for any authorized number
of ADSs requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of ADSs as those evidenced by the certificated ADR or Direct Registration ADR,
as the case may be, substituted.

(4)  Certain Limitations. Prior to
the issue, registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of any ADR, the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof,
or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, and from time to time in the case of clause
(b)(ii) of this paragraph (4), the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian may require: (a) payment with respect thereto of
(i) any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for
the registration of transfers of Shares or other Deposited Securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable charges
as provided in paragraph (7) of this ADR; (b) the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the identity of any signatory
and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship, residence,
exchange control approval, beneficial ownership of any securities, compliance with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing
Deposited Securities and terms of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, as it may deem necessary or proper; and (c) compliance with
such regulations as the Depositary may establish consistent with the Deposit Agreement. The issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits
of Shares, the registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2),
the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR Register or any register for
Deposited Securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the Depositary.

 

    A-4 

     

    

 

 

 

(5)  Taxes. If any tax or other governmental
charges (including any penalties and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect
to this ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental
charge shall be paid by the Holder hereof to the Depositary and by holding or having held this ADR or any ADSs evidenced hereby, the Holder
and all beneficial owners hereof and thereof, and all prior Holders and beneficial owners hereof and thereof, jointly and severally, agree
to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect of such tax or other governmental charge. Each
Holder of this ADR and beneficial owner of the ADSs evidenced hereby, and each prior Holder and beneficial owner hereof and thereof (collectively,
the “Tax Indemnitors”), by holding or having held an ADR or an interest in ADSs, acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary
shall have the right to seek payment of amounts owing with respect to this ADR under this paragraph (5) from any one or more Tax
Indemnitor(s) as determined by the Depositary in its sole discretion, without any obligation to seek payment from any other Tax Indemnitor(s).
The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination hereof or, subject to the last
sentence of paragraph (2), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made. The Depositary may also deduct from
any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private sale for the account of the Holder hereof
any part or all of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder hereof prior to such sale), and
may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining
liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Shares. In connection with
any distribution to Holders, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required
to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Company; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate
governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary
or the Custodian. The Depositary will forward to the Company such information from its transfer records maintained by it in its capacity
as Depositary under the Deposit Agreement as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company to file any necessary reports with
governmental authorities or agencies. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property other than cash (including Shares
or rights) on Deposited Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary
may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable
to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of
any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. Each Holder of an ADR or an interest therein agrees to
indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates
against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties
or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained.

 

    A-5 

     

    

 

 

 

(6)  Disclosure of Interests. To the
extent that the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities may require disclosure of or impose limits on beneficial or other
ownership of Deposited Securities, other Shares and other securities and may provide for blocking transfer, voting or other rights to
enforce such disclosure or limits, Holders and all persons holding ADRs agree to comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership
limitations and to comply with any reasonable Company instructions in respect thereof. The Company reserves the right to instruct Holders
to deliver their ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities so as to permit the Company to deal directly with the
Holder thereof as a holder of Shares and Holders agree to comply with such instructions. The Depositary agrees to cooperate with the Company
in its efforts to inform Holders of the Company's exercise of its rights under this paragraph and agrees to consult with, and provide
reasonable assistance without risk, liability or expense on the part of the Depositary, to the Company on the manner or manners in which
it may enforce such rights with respect to any Holder.

 

    A-6 

     

    

 

 

 

(7)  Charges of Depositary. The Depositary
may charge, and collect from, (i) each person to whom ADSs are issued, including, without limitation, issuances against
deposits of Shares, issuances in respect of Share Distributions, Rights and Other Distributions (as such terms are defined in paragraph
(10)), issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company, or issuances pursuant to a merger, exchange
of securities or any other transaction or event affecting the ADSs or the Deposited Securities, and (ii) each person surrendering
ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities or whose ADSs are cancelled or reduced for any other reason, U.S.$5.00 or less for each 100
ADSs (or portion thereof) issued, delivered, reduced, cancelled or surrendered (as the case may be). The Depositary may sell (by
public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of Share Distributions, Rights and Other Distributions
prior to such deposit to pay such charge. The following additional charges shall be incurred by the Holders, by any party depositing or
withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering ADSs and/or to whom ADSs are issued (including, without limitation, issuances pursuant
to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the ADSs or the Deposited Securities or a
distribution of ADSs pursuant to paragraph (10)), whichever is applicable (i) a fee of U.S.$0.05 or less per ADS for any Cash distribution
made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, (ii) a fee of U.S.$1.50 per ADR or ADRs for transfers made pursuant to paragraph (3) hereof,
(iii) a fee for the distribution or sale of securities pursuant to paragraph (10) hereof, such fee being in an amount equal
to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities
(for purposes of this paragraph (7) treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds
from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the Depositary to Holders entitled thereto, (iv) an aggregate fee of U.S.$0.02 per
ADS per calendar year (or portion thereof) for services performed by the Depositary in administering the ADRs (which fee may be charged
on a periodic basis during each calendar year and shall be assessed against Holders as of the record date or record dates set by the Depositary
during each calendar year and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Holders or by deducting such charge
from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions), and (v) a fee for the reimbursement of such fees, charges and expenses
as are incurred by the Depositary and/or any of its agents (including, without limitation, the Custodian and expenses incurred on behalf
of Holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment)
in connection with the servicing of the Shares or other Deposited Securities, the sale of securities (including, without limitation, Deposited
Securities), the delivery of Deposited Securities or otherwise in connection with the Depositary's or its Custodian's compliance with
applicable law, rule or regulation (which fees and charges shall be assessed on a proportionate basis against Holders as of the record
date or dates set by the Depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Holders or by deducting
such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions). The Company will pay all other charges and expenses of the Depositary
and any agent of the Depositary (except the Custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between the Company and the Depositary,
except (i) stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges (which are payable by Holders or persons depositing Shares),
(ii) cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at the request of persons depositing, or Holders delivering
Shares, ADRs or Deposited Securities (which are payable by such persons or Holders), and (iii) transfer or registration fees for
the registration or transfer of Deposited Securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of Deposited
Securities (which are payable by persons depositing Shares or Holders withdrawing Deposited Securities; there are no such fees in respect
of the Shares as of the date of the Deposit Agreement). The above-referenced charges may at any time and from time to time be changed
by agreement between the Company and the Depositary.

 

To facilitate the administration of various depositary
receipt transactions, including disbursement of dividends or other cash distributions and other corporate actions, the Depositary may
engage the foreign exchange desk within JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and/or its affiliates in order to enter into
spot foreign exchange transactions to convert foreign currency into U.S. dollars (“FX Transactions”). For certain currencies,
FX Transactions are entered into with the Bank or an affiliate, as the case may be, acting in a principal capacity. For other currencies,
FX Transactions are routed directly to and managed by an unaffiliated local custodian (or other third-party local liquidity provider),
and neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates is a party to such FX Transactions.

 

    A-7 

     

    

 

 

 

The foreign exchange rate applied to an FX Transaction
will be either (a) a published benchmark rate, or (b) a rate determined by a third-party local liquidity provider, in each case
plus or minus a spread, as applicable. The Depositary will disclose which foreign exchange rate and spread, if any, apply to such currency
on the “Disclosure” page (or successor page) of www.adr.com (as updated by the Depositary from time to time, “ADR.com”).
Such applicable foreign exchange rate and spread may (and neither the Depositary, the Bank nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation
to ensure that such rate does not) differ from rates and spreads at which comparable transactions are entered into with other customers
or the range of foreign exchange rates and spreads at which the Bank or any of its affiliates enters into foreign exchange transactions
in the relevant currency pair on the date of the FX Transaction. Additionally, the timing of execution of an FX Transaction varies according
to local market dynamics, which may include regulatory requirements, market hours and liquidity in the foreign exchange market or other
factors. Furthermore, the Bank and its affiliates may manage the associated risks of their position in the market in a manner they deem
appropriate without regard to the impact of such activities on the Company, the Depositary, Holders or beneficial owners of ADSs. The
spread applied does not reflect any gains or losses that may be earned or incurred by the Bank and its affiliates as a result of risk
management or other hedging related activity.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the
Company provides U.S. dollars to the Depositary, neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates will execute an FX Transaction as set forth
herein. In such case, the Depositary will distribute the U.S. dollars received from the Company.

 

Further details relating to the applicable foreign
exchange rate, the applicable spread and the execution of FX Transactions will be provided by the Depositary on ADR.com. The Company,
Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs each acknowledge and agree that the terms applicable to FX Transactions disclosed from time to time
on ADR.com will apply to any FX Transaction executed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

 

The Depositary anticipates reimbursing the Company
for certain expenses incurred by the Company that are related to the establishment and maintenance of the ADR program upon such terms
and conditions as the Company and the Depositary may agree from time to time.  The Depositary may make available to the Company a
set amount or a portion of the Depositary fees charged in respect of the ADR program or otherwise upon such terms and conditions as the
Company and the Depositary may agree from time to time.

 

    A-8 

     

    

 

 

 

The right of the Depositary to receive payment
of fees, charges and expenses as provided above shall survive the termination of the Deposit Agreement. As to any Depositary, upon the
resignation or removal of such Depositary, such right shall extend for those fees, charges and expenses incurred prior to the effectiveness
of such resignation or removal.

 

(8)  Available Information. The Deposit
Agreement, the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and any written communications from the Company, which are both received
by the Custodian or its nominee as a holder of Deposited Securities and made generally available to the holders of Deposited Securities,
are available for inspection by Holders at the offices of the Depositary and the Custodian and at the Transfer Office. The Depositary
will distribute copies of such communications (or English translations or summaries thereof) to Holders when furnished by the Company.
The Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and accordingly files certain reports
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Such reports and other information may be inspected
and copied through the Commission’s EDGAR system or at public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located at the date
hereof at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.

 

(9)  Execution. This ADR shall not
be valid for any purpose unless executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF ADR]

 

(10)  Distributions on Deposited Securities. Subject to
paragraphs (4) and (5), to the extent practicable, the Depositary, within a reasonable time, will distribute to each Holder entitled
thereto on the record date set by the Depositary therefor at such Holder's address shown on the ADR Register, in proportion to the number
of Deposited Securities (on which the following distributions on Deposited Securities are received by the Custodian) represented by ADSs
evidenced by such Holder's ADRs: (a) Cash. Any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary resulting from a cash dividend or
other cash distribution or the net proceeds of sales of any other distribution or portion thereof authorized in this paragraph (10) ("Cash"),
on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution
being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain Holders, and (iii) deduction of the Depositary's and/or its agents'
fees and expenses in (1) converting any foreign currency to U.S. dollars by sale or in such other manner as the Depositary may determine
to the extent that it determines that such conversion may be made on a reasonable basis, (2) transferring foreign currency or U.S.
dollars to the United States by such means as the Depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such transfer may be
made on a reasonable basis, (3) obtaining any approval or license of any governmental authority required for such conversion or transfer,
which is obtainable at a reasonable cost and within a reasonable time and (4) making any sale by public or private means in any commercially
reasonable manner. (b) Shares. (i) Additional ADRs evidencing whole ADSs representing any Shares available to the Depositary
resulting from a dividend or free distribution on Deposited Securities consisting of Shares (a "Share Distribution") and (ii) U.S.
dollars available to it resulting from the net proceeds of sales of Shares received in a Share Distribution, which Shares would give rise
to fractional ADSs if additional ADRs were issued therefor, as in the case of Cash. (c) Rights. (i) Warrants or other
instruments in the discretion of the Depositary representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in respect of any rights to subscribe for
additional Shares or rights of any nature available to the Depositary as a result of a distribution on Deposited Securities ("Rights"),
to the extent that the Company timely furnishes to the Depositary evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that the Depositary may lawfully
distribute the same (the Company has no obligation to so furnish such evidence), or (ii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish
such evidence and sales of Rights are practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Rights
as in the case of Cash, or (iii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and such sales cannot practicably be
accomplished by reason of the nontransferability of the Rights, limited markets therefor, their short duration or otherwise, nothing (and
any Rights may lapse). (d) Other Distributions. (i) Securities or property available to the Depositary resulting from
any distribution on Deposited Securities other than Cash, Share Distributions and Rights ("Other Distributions"), by any means
that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable, or (ii) to the extent the Depositary deems distribution of such securities
or property not to be equitable and practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Other
Distributions as in the case of Cash. The Depositary reserves the right to utilize a division, branch or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities hereunder. Such division, branch and/or affiliate may
charge the Depositary a fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the Depositary contemplated above and/or
under paragraph (7) hereof. Any U.S. dollars available will be distributed by checks drawn on a bank in the United States for whole
dollars and cents. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability and dealt with by the Depositary in accordance with its then current
practices. All purchases and sales of securities will be handled by the Depositary in accordance with its then current policies, which
are currently set forth in the "Depositary Receipt Sale and Purchase of Security" section of https://www.adr.com/Investors/FindOutAboutDRs,
the location and contents of which the Depositary shall be solely responsible for.

 

    A-10 

     

    

 

 

 

(11) Record Dates. The Depositary may, after
consultation with the Company if practicable, fix a record date (which, to the extent applicable, shall be as near as practicable to any
corresponding record date set by the Company) for the determination of the Holders who shall be responsible for the fee assessed by the
Depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses provided for in paragraph (7) hereof as well as for the determination
of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive any distribution on or in respect of Deposited Securities, to give instructions for the
exercise of any voting rights, to receive any notice or to act in respect of other matters and only such Holders shall be so entitled
or obligated.

 

(12) Voting of Deposited Securities. Subject
to the next sentence, as soon as practicable after receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Shares are entitled to vote,
or of solicitation of consents or proxies from holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall fix the ADS record
date in accordance with paragraph (11) above in respect of such meeting or solicitation of consent or proxy. The Depositary shall, if
requested by the Company in writing in a timely manner (the Depositary having no obligation to take any further action if the request
shall not have been received by the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the date of such vote or meeting) and at the Company's expense
and provided no legal prohibitions exist, distribute to Holders a notice stating (a) such information as is contained in such notice
and any solicitation materials, (b) that each Holder on the record date set by the Depositary therefor will, subject to any applicable
provisions of French law and of the Company’s By-Laws, be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights,
if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs and (c) the manner in which
such instructions may be given or deemed given in accordance with the next paragraph, including instructions to give a discretionary proxy
to the chairman of the Company’s board of directors to vote in favor of all resolutions endorsed by the Company’s board of
directors and against any resolutions not so endorsed. Upon actual receipt by the ADR department of the Depositary of instructions of
a Holder on such record date in the manner and on or before the time established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall
endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities to vote or cause to be voted the
Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs in accordance with such instructions. The Depositary will
not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Deposited Securities.

 

    A-11 

     

    

 

 

 

To the extent the Depositary has been provided
with at least 40 days' notice of the proposed meeting, if the Depositary receives from any Holder voting instructions which fail to specify
the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Holders’ ADSs, as well as if instructions
are not timely received by the Depositary from any Holder, subject to applicable provisions of French Law and of the Company’s By-Laws,
such Holder shall be deemed, and the Depositary is instructed to deem such Holder, to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary
proxy to the chairman of the Company’s board of directors to vote or cause to be voted the Deposited Securities represented by the
ADSs evidenced by such Holder's ADRs as to which such instructions are so deemed given in favor of all resolutions endorsed by the Company’s
board of directors and against any resolutions not so endorsed, provided that no such instruction shall be deemed given and no discretionary
proxy shall be given (a) if the Company informs the Depositary in writing (and the Company agrees to provide the Depositary with
such information promptly in writing) that (i) it does not wish such proxy to be given, (ii) substantial opposition exists with
respect to any agenda item for which the proxy would be given or (iii) the agenda item in question, if approved, would materially
or adversely affect the rights of holders of Shares and (b) unless, with respect to such meeting, the Depositary has been provided
with an opinion of French counsel to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositary, with respect to the deemed discretion
provided for herein and other voting related matters.

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Deposit Agreement
to the contrary, the Depositary and the Company may modify or amend the above voting procedures or adopt additional voting procedures
from time to time as they determine may be necessary or appropriate to comply with French or United States law or the Company’s
By-Laws.

 

    A-12 

     

    

 

 

 

There is no guarantee that Holders generally or
any Holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such Holder to return any voting instructions
to the Depositary in a timely manner. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Depositary may, to the
extent not prohibited by law or regulations, or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution
of the materials provided to the Depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of
Deposited Securities, distribute to the Holders a notice that provides Holders with, or otherwise publicizes to Holders, instructions
on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website containing the materials
for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials). Voting instructions will not be deemed received until such time as
the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting has received such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may have been
physically received by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Depositary, prior to such time.

 

(13) Changes Affecting Deposited Securities.
Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), the Depositary may, in its discretion, and shall if reasonably requested by the Company, amend
this ADR or distribute additional or amended ADRs (with or without calling this ADR for exchange) or cash, securities or property on the
record date set by the Depositary therefor to reflect any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancellation or other reclassification
of Deposited Securities, any Share Distribution or Other Distribution not distributed to Holders or any cash, securities or property available
to the Depositary in respect of Deposited Securities from (and the Depositary is hereby authorized to surrender any Deposited Securities
to any person and, irrespective of whether such Deposited Securities are surrendered or otherwise cancelled by operation of law, rule,
regulation or otherwise, to sell by public or private sale any property received in connection with) any recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, and to the
extent the Depositary does not so amend this ADR or make a distribution to Holders to reflect any of the foregoing, or the net proceeds
thereof, whatever cash, securities or property results from any of the foregoing shall constitute Deposited Securities and each ADS evidenced
by this ADR shall automatically represent its pro rata interest in the Deposited Securities as then constituted. Promptly upon the occurrence
of any of the aforementioned changes affecting Deposited Securities, the Company shall notify the Depositary in writing of such occurrence
and as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice from the Company, may instruct the Depositary to give notice thereof, at the Company's
expense, to Holders in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Depositary shall give notice to the
Holders in accordance with the terms thereof, as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

    A-13 

     

    

 

 

 

(14) Exoneration. The Depositary, the Company,
their agents and each of them shall: (a) incur no liability (i) if any present or future law, rule, regulation, fiat, order
or decree of the United States, France or any other country or jurisdiction, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or any securities
exchange or market or automated quotation system, the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities, any present or future provision
of the Company's charter, any act of God, war, terrorism, nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, work stoppage, strike,
civil unrest, revolutions, rebellions, explosions, computer failure or circumstance beyond its direct and immediate control shall prevent
or delay, or shall cause any of them to be subject to any civil or criminal penalty in connection with, any act which the Deposit Agreement
or this ADR provides shall be done or performed by it or them (including, without limitation, voting pursuant to paragraph (12) hereof),
or (ii) by reason of any exercise or failure to exercise any discretion given it in the Deposit Agreement or this ADR (including,
without limitation, any failure to determine that any distribution or action may be lawful or reasonably practicable); (b) assume
no liability except to perform its obligations to the extent they are specifically set forth in this ADR and the Deposit Agreement without
gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) in the case of the Depositary and its agents, be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute
or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this ADR; (d) in the case of the Company
and its agents hereunder be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any
Deposited Securities or this ADR, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against
all expense (including fees and disbursements of counsel) and liability be furnished as often as may be required; or (e) not be liable
for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting
Shares for deposit, any Holder, or any other person believed by it to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary
shall not be liable for the acts or omissions made by, or the insolvency of, any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement
system. The Depositary shall not be responsible for, and shall incur no liability in connection with or arising from, the insolvency of
any Custodian that is not a branch or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Depositary shall not have any liability for the price
received in connection with any sale of securities, including without limitation any sale in connection with a Termination Event (as defined
in paragraph (17)(a) below) or a cash tender offer, or for the timing of any such sale or any delay in action or omission to act
nor shall it be responsible for any error or delay in action, omission to act, default or negligence on the part of any party so retained
in connection with any such sale or proposed sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Deposit Agreement (including
the ADRs), subject to the penultimate sentence of this paragraph (14), the Depositary shall not be responsible for, and shall incur no
liability in connection with or arising from, any act or omission to act on the part of the Custodian except to the extent that the Custodian
has (i) committed fraud or willful misconduct in the provision of custodial services to the Depositary or (ii) failed to use
reasonable care in the provision of custodial services to the Depositary as determined in accordance with the standards prevailing in
the jurisdiction in which the Custodian is located. The Depositary, its agents and the Company may rely and shall be protected in acting
upon any written notice, request, direction, instruction or document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed, presented
or given by the proper party or parties. The Depositary shall be under no obligation to inform Holders or any other holders of an interest
in any ADSs about the requirements of French law, rules or regulations or any changes therein or thereto. The Depositary and its
agents will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, for the manner in
which any such vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. The Depositary may rely upon instructions from the Company or its counsel
in respect of any approval or license required for any currency conversion, transfer or distribution. The Depositary and its agents may
own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its affiliates and in ADRs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in the Deposit Agreement or an ADR, the Depositary and its agents may fully respond to any and all demands or requests for information
maintained by or on its behalf in connection with the Deposit Agreement, any Holder or Holders, any ADR or ADRs or otherwise related hereto
or thereto to the extent such information is requested or required by or pursuant to any lawful authority, including without limitation
laws, rules, regulations, administrative or judicial process, banking, securities or other regulators. None of the Depositary, the Custodian
or the Company shall be liable for the failure by any Holder or beneficial owner to obtain the benefits of credits on the basis of non-U.S.
tax paid against such Holder's or beneficial owner's income tax liability. The Depositary and the Company shall not incur any liability
for any tax consequences that may be incurred by Holders and beneficial owners on account of their ownership of the ADRs or ADSs. The
Depositary shall not incur any liability for the content of any information submitted to it by or on behalf of the Company for distribution
to the Holders or for any inaccuracy of any translation thereof, for any investment risk associated with acquiring an interest in the
Deposited Securities, for the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities, for the credit-worthiness of any third party, for allowing
any rights to lapse upon the terms of the Deposit Agreement or for the failure or timeliness of any notice from the Company. The Depositary
shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of
the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary. By holding an ADS or
an interest therein, Holders and owners of ADSs each irrevocably agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against or involving
the Company or the Depositary, arising out of or based upon the Deposit Agreement, the ADSs or the transactions contemplated herein, therein
or hereby, may only be instituted in a state or federal court in New York, New York, and by holding an ADS or an interest therein each
irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Depositary
and its agents under certain circumstances and the Depositary has agreed to indemnify the Company under certain circumstances. Neither
the Depositary, the Company nor any of their respective agents shall be liable to Holders or beneficial owners of interests in ADSs for
any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) or lost profits, in
each case of any form incurred by any person or entity, whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the type of action in which such
a claim may be brought. With respect to Holders and owners of ADRs, any summary of French laws and regulations and of the terms of the
Company’s By-Laws set forth in the Deposit Agreement is provided by the Company solely for the convenience and while the Company
believes that such summaries are accurate as of the date of the Deposit Agreement, (i) they are summaries and as such may not include
all aspects of the materials summarized applicable to a Holder or owner of ADRs, and (ii) these laws and regulations and the Company’s
By-Laws may change after the date of the Deposit Agreement. Neither the Depositary nor the Company has any obligation under the terms
of the Deposit Agreement or the ADRs to update any such summaries. No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended
by any provision hereof.

(15) Resignation and Removal of Depositary;
the Custodian. The Depositary may resign as Depositary by written notice of its election so to do delivered to the Company, such resignation
to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement.
  The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by no less than 120 days prior written notice of such removal, to become
effective upon the later of (i) the 120th day after delivery of the notice to the Depositary and (ii) the appointment of a successor
depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as provided in the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may appoint substitute or additional
Custodians and the term "Custodian" refers to each Custodian or all Custodians as the context requires.

 

    A-15 

     

    

 

 

 

(16) Amendment. Subject to the last sentence
of paragraph (2), the ADRs and the Deposit Agreement may be amended by the Company and the Depositary, provided that any amendment
that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration
fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or that shall otherwise prejudice any substantial
existing right of Holders, shall become effective 30 days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Holders. Every Holder
of an ADR at the time any amendment to the Deposit Agreement so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADR, to
consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair
the right of the Holder of any ADR to surrender such ADR and receive the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to
comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed by
the Company and the Depositary) in order for (a) the ADSs to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933 or (b) the
ADSs or Shares to be traded solely in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or increase any fees
or charges to be borne by Holders, shall be deemed not to prejudice any substantial rights of Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any governmental body or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement
of the Deposit Agreement or the form of ADR to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the
Deposit Agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations. Such amendment or supplement
to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Holders
or within any other period of time as required for compliance. Notice of any amendment to the Deposit Agreement or form of ADRs shall
not need to describe in detail the specific amendments effectuated thereby, and failure to describe the specific amendments in any such
notice shall not render such notice invalid, provided, however, that, in each such case, the notice given to the Holders identifies a
means for Holders to retrieve or receive the text of such amendment (i.e., upon retrieval from the Commission's, the Depositary's or the
Company's website or upon request from the Depositary).

 

(17) Termination. (a) Except as provided
for in subparagraphs (b) and (c) below, the Depositary may, and shall at the written direction of the Company, terminate the
Deposit Agreement and this ADR by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice
for such termination; provided, however, if the Depositary shall have (i) resigned as Depositary hereunder, notice of such termination
by the Depositary shall not be provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder within 60 days of the
date of such resignation, or (ii) been removed as Depositary hereunder, notice of such termination by the Depositary shall not be
provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder on the 120th day after the Company's notice of removal
was first provided to the Depositary. If at the date so fixed for termination in accordance with this subparagraph (a) the Depositary
believes the Shares are not publicly and actively listed or quoted for trading on at least one stock exchange in the European Union, after
the date so fixed for termination, (i) all Direct Registration ADRs shall cease to be eligible for the Direct Registration System
and shall be considered ADRs issued on the ADR Register, (ii) the Depositary shall charge its cancellation fee on all existing ADSs
and (iii) the Depositary shall then use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the ADSs cease to be DTC eligible so that neither DTC
nor any of its nominees shall thereafter be a Holder. At such time as the ADSs cease to be DTC eligible and/or neither DTC nor any of
its nominees is a Holder, the Depositary shall (a) instruct the Custodian to deliver all Deposited Securities to the Company along
with a general stock power that refers to the names set forth on the ADR Register and (b) provide the Company with a copy of the
ADR Register (which copy may be sent by email or by any means permitted under the notice provisions of the Deposit Agreement). Upon receipt
of such Deposited Securities and the ADR Register, the Company shall use its best efforts to issue to each Holder a Share certificate
representing the Shares represented by the ADSs reflected on the ADR Register in such Holder's name and to deliver such Share certificate
to the Holder at the address set forth on the ADR Register. If at the date so fixed for termination in accordance with this subparagraph
(a), the Depositary believes the Shares are publicly and actively listed or quoted for trading on at least one stock exchange in the European
Union, after the date so fixed for termination, (x) the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the Deposit
Agreement and this ADR, except to receive and hold (or sell) distributions on Deposited Securities and deliver Deposited Securities being
withdrawn and (y) as soon as practicable after the date so fixed for termination, the Depositary shall endeavor to sell the Deposited
Securities and shall thereafter (as long as it may lawfully do so) hold in a segregated account the net proceeds of such sales, together
with any other cash then held by it under the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit of
the Holders of ADRs not theretofore surrendered. After providing the instruction to the Custodian and delivering a copy of the ADR Register
to the Company under the third sentence of this subparagraph (a), the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the
Deposit Agreement and this ADR and shall cease to have any obligations under the Deposit Agreement and/or the ADRs. After making any such
sale under clause (y) of the second preceding sentence, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations in respect of the
Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash. After the Company receives the copy of the ADR
Register and the Deposited Securities and has complied with the provisions of the fourth preceding sentence above or, in the case of a
termination under the circumstances described in the third preceding sentence above, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations
under the Deposit Agreement except (i) to distribute the Shares to the Holders entitled thereto, if applicable, and (ii) for
its obligations to the Depositary and its agents.

 

    A-16 

     

    

 

 

 

(b)            To
the extent the Depositary has been notified that the Deposited Securities have been purchased for cash, or that a court has approved a
scheme of arrangement or comparable type of transaction pursuant to which such Deposited Securities will be purchased for cash, in either
case in a transaction that is mandatory and binding on the Depositary as a holder of those Deposited Securities the Depositary may immediately
terminate the Deposit Agreement effective as of the date notice is first provided to Holders or such later date established by the Depositary
and stated in such notice in order to coincide with or be close to the date on which the Deposited Securities have been or will be exchanged
for cash (a termination under this subparagraph (b) being a "Termination Event"). After the date so fixed for termination
under this subparagraph (b), the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except
to receive the cash received as a result of such Termination Event and, after giving effect to the conversion of such cash into U.S. dollars
and the deduction of any fees and expenses provided for herein or contemplated hereby, hold the resulting net cash amount as long as it
may lawfully do so in an account (which may be a segregated or unsegregated account), together with any other cash then held by it under
the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of ADRs not theretofore surrendered.
After the Depositary has received any such cash, (i) the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations in respect of the Deposit
Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net cash amount received and other cash and (ii) the Company shall be discharged
from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary and its agents.

 

(c)            To
the extent the Company and a bidder have entered into a contractual arrangement pursuant to which the bidder has made or will make a cash
offer for the ADSs and/or the Deposited Securities which has been recommended by the Company, and the Company has provided the Depositary
with written notice of its desire to terminate the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall terminate the Deposit Agreement and this ADR
by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination; provided,
however that the date of termination shall not be prior to the close of business on the first day after the last day of the initial cash
offer period established by such bidder (as the same may be extended in accordance with applicable rules) (the “Initial Offer Closing
Date”) if such bidder has accepted for payment all of the securities (including ADSs and/or Deposited Securities) that have been
tendered for payment on or prior to the Initial Offer Closing Date. If the bidder has not accepted for payment all of the securities that
have been tendered pursuant to such public offer on or prior to the Initial Offer Closing Date, the termination notice under this subparagraph
(c) shall be deemed withdrawn and the Deposit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, unless otherwise terminated thereafter
pursuant to subparagraph 17(a) above. If the bidder accepts for payment all of the securities that have been tendered on or prior
to the Initial Closing Date, then after the date fixed for termination under this subparagraph (c), the Depositary and its agents will
perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except, (i) if the bidder has instituted a subsequent offer acceptance
period for the Deposited Securities and such subsequent offer acceptance period is still open, to tender any Deposited Securities then
remaining under this Deposit Agreement into the offer made by the bidder on the terms thereof, or (ii) if there is no subsequent
offer acceptance period for the Deposited Securities or such period has closed in accordance with its terms and the bidder has offered
in writing to purchase all of the remaining Deposited Securities at a per share price at least equal to the price paid in the tender offer
period most recently closed, to sell such Deposited Securities to the bidder at such price in an open market transaction or otherwise
in an arms-length transaction, and, in the case of (i) or (ii) to receive the cash received as a result of such sale and, after
giving effect to the conversion of such cash into U.S. dollars and the deduction of any fees and expenses provided for herein or contemplated
hereby, hold the resulting net cash amount as long as it may lawfully do so in an account (which may be a segregated or unsegregated account),
together with any other cash then held by it under the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit
of the Holders of ADRs not theretofore surrendered. After the Depositary has received any such cash, (A) the Depositary shall be
discharged from all obligations in respect of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net cash amount received
and other cash and (B) the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations
to the Depositary and its agents. If after the date fixed for termination under this subparagraph (c) any of the conditions in clause
(ii) are not met, the provisions of subparagraph 17(a) above shall apply with regard to the Depositary’s obligations after
the date fixed for termination.

 

    A-17 

     

    

 

 

 

(18) Appointment. Each Holder and each person
holding an interest in ADSs, upon acceptance of any ADSs (or any interest therein) issued in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to (a) be a party to and bound by the terms of the Deposit Agreement and
the applicable ADR(s), and (b) appoint the Depositary its attorney-in-fact, with full power to delegate, to act on its behalf and
to take any and all actions contemplated in the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), to adopt any and all procedures necessary
to comply with applicable law and to take such action as the Depositary in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to carry
out the purposes of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), the taking of such actions to be the conclusive determinant of the
necessity and appropriateness thereof.

 

(19) Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT
(INCLUDING, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EACH HOLDER AND BENEFICIAL OWNER AND/OR HOLDER OF INTERESTS IN ADRS) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST
THE DEPOSITARY AND/OR THE COMPANY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SHARES OR OTHER DEPOSITED SECURITIES, THE ADSs
OR THE ADRs, THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, OR THE BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT, COMMON LAW OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

 

(20) Elective Distributions in Cash or Shares.
Whenever the Company intends to distribute a dividend payable at the election of the holders of Shares in cash or in additional Shares,
the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the proposed distribution stating whether or not it
wishes such elective distribution to be made available to Holders. Upon receipt of notice indicating that the Company wishes such elective
distribution to be made available to Holders, the Depositary shall consult with the Company to determine, and the Company shall assist
the Depositary in its determination, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such elective distribution available to the
Holders. The Depositary shall make such elective distribution available to Holders only if (i) the Company shall have timely requested
that the elective distribution is available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is reasonably
practicable and (iii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 14 of the Deposit
Agreement including, without limitation, any legal opinions of counsel in any applicable jurisdiction that the Depositary in its reasonable
discretion may request, at the expense of the Company. If the above conditions are not satisfied, the Depositary shall, to the extent
permitted by law, distribute to the Holders, on the basis of the same determination as is made in the local market in respect of the Shares
for which no election is made, either (x) cash or (y) additional ADSs representing such additional Shares. If the above conditions
are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish a record date and establish procedures to enable Holders to elect the receipt of the proposed
dividend in cash or in additional ADSs. The Company shall assist the Depositary in establishing such procedures to the extent necessary.
Nothing herein shall obligate the Depositary to make available to Holders a method to receive the elective dividend in Shares (rather
than ADSs). There can be no assurance that Holders generally, or any Holder in particular, will be given the opportunity to receive elective
distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Shares.

The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive. Without limitation, the Board shall have full and final authority, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, to: 
(i) designate Grantees; 
(ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be made to a Grantee; 
(iii) determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to an Award; 
(iv) establish the terms and conditions of each Award (including, but not limited to, the Option Price of any Option, the nature and duration of any restriction or condition (or provision for lapse thereof) relating to the vesting, exercise, transfer, or forfeiture of an Award or the shares of Stock subject thereto, and any terms or conditions that may be necessary to qualify Options as Incentive Stock Options); 
(v) prescribe the form of each Award Agreement; and 
(vi) amend, modify, or supplement the terms of any outstanding Award including the authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan, to modify Awards to foreign nationals or individuals who are employed outside the United States to recognize differences in local law, tax policy, or custom.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate its authority as identified herein to any individual or committee of individuals (who need not be directors), including without limitation the authority to make Awards to Grantees who are not subject to 
    6

Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  To the extent that the Board delegates its authority to make Awards as provided by this Section 3.1, all references in the Plan to the Board’s authority to make Awards and determinations with respect thereto shall be deemed to include the Board’s delegate.  Any such delegate shall serve at the pleasure of, and may be removed at any time by the Board.  
3.2.No Repricing.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the repricing of Options or SARs is prohibited without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.  For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the terms of an Option or SAR to lower its Option Price or SAR Exercise Price; (ii) any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling an Option or SAR at a time when its Option Price or SAR Exercise Price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares in exchange for another Award, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a change in capitalization or similar change under Section 16.  A cancellation and exchange under clause (iii) would be considered a “repricing” regardless of whether it is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the part of the Grantee. 
3.3. Award Agreements; Clawbacks.
The grant of any Award may be contingent upon the Grantee executing the appropriate Award Agreement.  The Company may retain the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee on account of actions taken by the Grantee in violation or breach of or in conflict with any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof or otherwise in competition with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent specified in such Award Agreement applicable to the Grantee.  Furthermore, the Company may annul an Award if the Grantee is terminated for “cause” as defined in the applicable Award Agreement. 
Awards shall be subject to the requirements of (i) Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (regarding recovery of erroneously awarded compensation) and any implementing rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) similar rules under the laws of any other jurisdiction, (iii) any compensation recovery policies adopted by the Company to implement any such requirements or (iv) any other compensation recovery policies as may be adopted from time to time by the Company, all to the extent determined by the Committee in its discretion to be applicable to a Grantee. 
3.4.Deferral Arrangement. 
The Board may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish and in 
    7

accordance with Section 409A, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred Stock units.  
3.5.No Liability. 
No member of the Board or of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Award or Award Agreement. 
3.6.Minimum Vesting Requirements. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, equity-based Awards granted under the Plan shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date the Award is granted (excluding, for this purpose, any (i) Substitute Awards, (ii) shares delivered in lieu of fully vested cash incentive awards, and (iii) Awards to Non-employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual meeting of stockholders); provided, that, the Board may grant equity-based Awards without regard to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1 (subject to adjustment under Section 16); and, provided further, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing restriction does not apply to the Board’s discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any Award, including in cases of retirement, death, disability or a Change in Control, in the terms of the Award or otherwise. 
3.7.Book Entry. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Company may elect to satisfy any requirement under this Plan for the delivery of stock certificates through the use of book-entry. 
4.STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
4.1.Authorized Number of Shares.
Subject to adjustment under Section 16, the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be awarded under the Plan shall not exceed the sum of (A) 4,250,000, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock available for the grant of awards as of the Effective Date under the Predecessor Plans, plus (C) effective upon approval of the Company’s stockholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, 2,200,000 shares (less any shares of Common Stock for any Awards made on or after March 19, 2018 and before 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), plus (D) effective upon approval of the Company’s stockholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, 3,000,000 shares (less any shares of Common Stock for any Awards made on or after March 22, 2021 and before 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders).  In addition, shares of Common Stock underlying any outstanding award granted under the Predecessor Plans that, following the Effective Date, expires, or is terminated, surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of such shares shall be available for the grant of new Awards under this Plan.  As provided in Section 1, no new awards shall be granted under the 
    8

Predecessor Plans following the Effective Date.  Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares purchased on the open market or otherwise, all as determined by the Company from time to time.
4.2.Share Counting.
4.2.1.General.
Each share of Common Stock granted in connection with an Award shall be counted as one share against the limit in Section 4.1, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2.
4.2.2.Cash-Settled Awards.
Any Award settled in cash shall not be counted as shares of Common Stock for any purpose under this Plan. 
4.2.3.Expired or Terminated Awards.  
If any Award under the Plan expires, or is terminated, surrendered or forfeited, in whole or in part, the unissued Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan.           
4.2.4.Payment of Option Price or Tax Withholding in Shares.
4.2.4.1Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-based Awards.  For an Award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-based Award, if shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting or settlement of the Award, or shares of Common Stock owned by a Grantee (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest), are surrendered or tendered to the Company in payment of any taxes required to be withheld in respect of an Award in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such surrendered or tendered shares of Common Stock shall again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan.   
4.2.4.2Stock Options and SARs.  The full number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option or SAR is granted shall count against the aggregate number of shares available for grant under the Plan.  Accordingly, (i) if in accordance with the terms of the Plan, a Grantee pays the Option Price for an Option by either tendering previously owned shares or having the Company withhold shares, then such shares surrendered to pay the Option Price shall continue to count against the aggregate number of shares available for grant under the Plan set forth in Section 4.1 above; and (ii) for a share-settled SAR, the gross number of shares with respect to which the SAR is granted shall be counted against the limit in Section 4.1 (i.e., not just the net shares actually issued upon exercise of the SAR).  In addition, if in accordance with the terms of the Plan, a Grantee satisfies any tax withholding requirement with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of an Option or SAR by either tendering previously owned shares or having the Company withhold shares, then such shares surrendered to satisfy such tax withholding requirements shall continue to count against the aggregate 
    9

number of shares available for grant under the Plan set forth in Section 4.1 above.  Any shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company with cash proceeds from the exercise of Options shall not be added back to the pool of shares available for grant under the Plan set forth in Section 4.1 above.
4.2.5.Substitute Awards.
In the case of any Substitute Award, such Substitute Award shall not be counted against the number of shares reserved under the Plan.
4.3.Award Limits. 
4.3.1.Incentive Stock Options.
Subject to adjustment under Section 16, 4,250,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be available for issuance under Incentive Stock Options.
4.3.2.Individual Award Limits for Section 162(m).
Subject to adjustment under Section 16, the maximum number of each type of Award intended to constitute “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code granted to any Grantee in any calendar year shall not exceed the following number of shares of Common Stock: (i) Options and SARs: 1 million shares; and (ii) all share-based Performance Awards (including Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-based Awards that are Performance Awards): 1 million shares.  
4.3.3.Limits on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. 
No more than $500,000 may be granted in share-based Awards under the Plan during any one year to a Grantee who is a Non-Employee Director (based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Award as of the applicable Grant Date in the case of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-based Awards, and based on the applicable grant date fair value for accounting purposes in the case of Options or SARs); provided, however, that share-based Awards made to a Grantee who is a Non-Employee Director at such Grantee’s election in lieu of all or a portion of his or her Retainer for service on the Board and any Board committee shall not be counted towards the limit under this Section 4.3.4.  
5.EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION AND AMENDMENTS 
5.1.Term. 
The Plan originally became effective on the Effective Date.  This amendment and restatement of the Plan will become effective as of the Restatement Effective Date, provided that it has been approved by the Company’s stockholders.  The Plan shall terminate automatically on the ten (10) year anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date and may be terminated on any earlier date as provided in Section 5.2. 
    10

5.2.Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan as to any Awards which have not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent stated by the Board, required by applicable law or required by applicable stock exchange listing requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to Section 3.2 shall be contingent upon the approval of the Company’s stockholders.  No Awards shall be made after the Termination Date. The applicable terms of the Plan, and any terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted prior to the Termination Date shall survive the termination of the Plan and continue to apply to such Awards.  No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, materially impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore awarded.  
6.AWARD ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS 
6.1.Service Providers. 
Subject to this Section 6.1, Awards may be made to any Service Provider, including any Service Provider who is an officer, Non-Employee Director, consultant or advisor of the Company or of any Affiliate, as the Board shall determine and designate from time to time in its discretion. 
6.2.Successive Awards. 
An eligible person may receive more than one Award, subject to such restrictions as are provided herein. 
6.3.Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. 
Awards may, in the discretion of the Board, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate, or any other right of a Grantee to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Such additional, tandem, and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, the Board shall have the right to require the surrender of such other Award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. Subject to Section 3.2, the Board shall have the right, in its discretion, to make Awards in substitution or exchange for any other award under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate, in which the value of Stock subject to the Award is equivalent in value to the cash compensation (for example, Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock).  
    11

7.AWARD AGREEMENT 
Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, in such form or forms as the Board shall from time to time determine.  Without limiting the foregoing, an Award Agreement may be provided in the form of a notice which provides that acceptance of the Award constitutes acceptance of all terms of the Plan and the notice.  Award Agreements granted from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan.  Each Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options shall specify whether such Options are intended to be Non-qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the absence of such specification such options shall be deemed Non-qualified Stock Options. 
8.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS 
8.1.Option Price. 
The Option Price of each Option shall be fixed by the Board and stated in the related Award Agreement. The Option Price of each Option (except those that constitute Substitute Awards) shall be at least the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date of a share of Stock; provided, however, that in the event that a Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder as of the Grant Date, the Option Price of an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date.  In no case shall the Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of a share of Stock. 
8.2.Vesting. 
Subject to Section 8.3 hereof, each Option shall become exercisable at such times and under such conditions (including, without limitation, performance requirements) as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement. 
8.3.Term. 
Each Option shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Board and stated in the related Award Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option at the Grant Date shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from its Grant Date. 
8.4.Limitations on Exercise of Option. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, (i) prior to the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company as provided herein or (ii) after the occurrence of an event which results in termination of the Option. 
    12

8.5.Method of Exercise. 
An Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery of a notice of exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the shares.  To be effective, notice of exercise must be made in accordance with procedures established by the Company from time to time.    
8.6.Rights of Holders of Options. 
Unless otherwise stated in the related Award Agreement, an individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the voting of the subject shares of Stock) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 16 hereof or the related Award Agreement, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance. 
8.7.Delivery of Stock Certificates. 
Promptly after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price, such Grantee shall be entitled to the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of the shares of Stock subject to the Option. 
8.8.Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. 
An Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Grantee of such Option is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (ii) to the extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement; and (iii) to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Grantee’s employer and its Affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. This limitation shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted. 
9.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
9.1.Right to Payment. 
A SAR shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (ii) the SAR Exercise Price, as determined by the Board. The Award Agreement for a SAR (except those that constitute Substitute Awards) shall specify the SAR Exercise Price, which shall be fixed on the Grant Date as not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on that date.  SARs may be granted alone or in conjunction with all or part of an Option or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option or in conjunction with all or part of any other Award. A SAR granted in tandem 
    13

with an outstanding Option following the Grant Date of such Option shall have a grant price that is equal to the Option Price; provided, however, that the SAR’s grant price may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date of the SAR to the extent required by Section 409A. 
9.2.Other Terms. 
The Board shall determine at the Grant Date, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at which SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following Separation from Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, whether or not a SAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. 
9.3.Term of SARs.  
The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such term shall not exceed ten (10) years.
9.4.Payment of SAR Amount.  
Upon exercise of a SAR, a Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company (in cash or Stock, as determined by the Board) in an amount determined by multiplying:
(i)       the difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the SAR Exercise Price; by
(ii)       the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
10.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 
10.1.Restrictions. 
At the time of grant, the Board may, in its sole discretion, establish a period of time (a “Restricted Period”) and any additional restrictions including the satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives applicable to an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units in accordance with Section 12.  Each Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be subject to a different Restricted Period and additional restrictions. Neither Restricted Stock nor Restricted Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted Period or prior to the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions. 
    14

10.2.Restricted Stock Certificates. 
The Company shall issue stock, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock has been granted, stock certificates or other evidence of ownership representing the total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date. The Board may provide in an Award Agreement that either (i) the Secretary of the Company shall hold such certificates for the Grantee’s benefit until such time as the Restricted Stock is forfeited to the Company or the restrictions lapse, or (ii) such certificates shall be delivered to the Grantee; provided, however, that such certificates shall bear a legend or legends that comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and make appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed under the Plan and the Award Agreement. 
10.3.Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock. 
Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement and subject to Section 18.12, holders of Restricted Stock shall have rights as stockholders of the Company, including voting and dividend rights.  
10.4.Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock Units. 
10.4.1.Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. 
Restricted Stock Units may be settled in cash or Stock, as determined by the Board and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Award Agreement shall also set forth whether the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled (i) within the time period specified for “short term deferrals” under Section 409A or (ii) otherwise within the requirements of Section 409A, in which case the Award Agreement shall specify upon which events such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled. 
10.4.2.Voting and Dividend Rights. 
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement and subject to Section 18.12, holders of Restricted Stock Units shall not have rights as stockholders of the Company, including no voting or dividend or dividend equivalents rights.
10.4.3.Creditor’s Rights. 
A holder of Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement. 
10.5.Purchase of Restricted Stock. 
The Grantee shall be required, to the extent required by applicable law, to purchase the Restricted Stock from the Company at a Purchase Price equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such Restricted Stock or (ii) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the related Award Agreement. If specified in the Award Agreement, the 
    15

Purchase Price may be deemed paid by Services already rendered. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 11 or, in the discretion of the Board, in consideration for past Services rendered. 
10.6.Delivery of Stock. 
Upon the expiration or termination of any Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Board, the restrictions applicable to shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units settled in Stock shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, a stock certificate for such shares shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee or the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. 
11.FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK 
11.1.General Rule. 
Payment of the Option Price for the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company, except as provided in this Section 11. 
11.2.Surrender of Stock. 
To the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock may be made all or in part through the tender to the Company of shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price or Purchase Price for Restricted Stock has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make payment in the form of already owned shares of Stock may be authorized only at the time of grant.
11.3.Cashless Exercise. 
With respect to an Option only (and not with respect to Restricted Stock), to the extent permitted by law and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 18.3. 
11.4.Other Forms of Payment. 
To the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules, including, but not limited to, the Company’s withholding of shares of Stock otherwise due to the exercising Grantee.
    16

12.TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS 
12.1.Performance Conditions. 
The right of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions. Such Awards are referred to as “Performance Awards.”
12.2.Performance Goals Generally. 
The performance goals for Performance Awards shall consist of one or more business or other criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 12.2.  The Committee may determine that such Performance Awards shall be granted, exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to grant, exercise, and/or settlement of such Performance Awards.  Performance goals may, in the discretion of the Committee, be established on a Company-wide basis, or with respect to one or more business units, divisions, subsidiaries, or business segments, as applicable.  Performance goals may be absolute or relative (to the performance of one or more comparable companies or indices).  The Committee may determine the extent to which measurement of performance goals may exclude the impact of charges for restructuring, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, debt redemption or retirement, asset write downs, litigation or claim judgments or settlements, acquisitions or divestitures, foreign exchange gains and losses, and other unusual non-recurring items, and the cumulative effects of tax or accounting changes (each as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and as identified in the Company’s financial statements or other SEC filings).  Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards granted to any one Grantee or to different Grantees.  
12.3.Business Criteria. 
    For purposes of Performance Awards, the Committee may select any business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or specified subsidiaries or business units of the Company (except with respect to the total stockholder return and earnings per share criteria), including any of the following: (i) cash flow; (ii) earnings per share, as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or other recapitalization; (iii) earnings measures (including EBIT and EBITDA)); (iv) return on equity; (v) total stockholder return; (vi) share price performance, as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend or other recapitalization; (vii) return on capital; (viii) revenue; (ix) income; (x) profit margin; (xi) return on operating revenue; (xii) brand recognition/acceptance; (xiii) customer metrics (including customer satisfaction, customer retention, customer profitability, or customer contract terms); (xiv) productivity; (xv) expense targets; (xvi) market share; (xvii) cost control measures; (xviii) balance sheet metrics; (xix) strategic initiatives; (xx) implementation, completion or attainment of measurable objectives with respect to recruitment or retention of personnel or employee satisfaction; (xxi) return on assets; (xxii) growth in net sales; (xxiii) the ratio of net sales to net working capital; (xxiv) stockholder value

13.OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS
13.1.Grant of Other Stock-based Awards.
Other Stock-based Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in conjunction with other Awards under the Plan.  Other Stock-based Awards may be granted in lieu of other cash or other compensation to which a Service Provider is entitled from the Company or may be used in the settlement of amounts payable in shares of Common Stock under any other compensation plan or arrangement of the Company.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Awards shall be made, the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions of such Awards.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, any such Award shall be confirmed by an Award Agreement, which shall contain such provisions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent of this Plan with respect to such Award.
13.2.Terms of Other Stock-based Awards.
Any Common Stock subject to Awards made under this Section 13 may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period lapses.

14.2.1.Form of Retainers
    The Board may establish the amount of any Retainer either as an amount of cash, a number of shares of Common Stock or a combination of an amount of cash and a number of shares of Common Stock. Regardless of how expressed, the Board shall also determine the portion of the Retainer to be payable in cash and the portion to be payable by an Award, subject to the following additional rules: 

        (i)    For any portion of the Retainer expressed as cash and payable by delivery of a share-based Award, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Award will be determined in accordance with Section 14.2.3; 

        (ii)   For any portion of the Retainer expressed as a number of shares of Common Stock and payable in cash, the amount of cash payable will be determined in accordance with Section 14.2.4; 

        (iii)  The Board may permit Non-Employee Directors to elect between forms of payment in accordance with such rules as the Board may establish from time to time; and 

        (iv)  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary (including any Non-Employee Director election), at least 50% of the Retainer shall be payable as a share-based Award. 

    19

14.2.2.Cash Awards
    For any portion of the Annual Retainer payable as cash, unless the Board determines otherwise, payment shall be made in a single payment as promptly as practicable after the end of the calendar quarter in which the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company occurs. For any portion of an Interim Retainer payable in cash, unless the Board determines otherwise, payment shall be made in a single payment as promptly as practicable after the end of the calendar quarter in which the Non-Employee Director is elected or appointed, provided that if such Non-Employee Director is elected between April 1 and the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, then such portion of the Interim Retainer shall be paid as promptly as practicable after the Non-Employee Director is elected. 

14.2.3.Share-Based Awards Based on Cash Amount
        For any portion of the Annual Retainer expressed as an amount of cash and payable as a share-based Award (either as required by the Board or as elected by a Non-Employee Director, if permitted), the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to such Award shall be calculated by dividing the amount of such portion of the Annual Retainer by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the applicable annual meeting date. Similarly, for any portion of an Interim Retainer expressed as an amount of cash and payable as an Award, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to such Award shall be calculated using the Fair Market Value on the date of election or appointment of the Non-Employee Director. If the calculation of the portion of a Retainer payable as a share-based Award would result in a fractional share of Common Stock being issued, then the number of shares to be so paid shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. 

14.2.4.Cash Payments Based on Stock Amount
     For any portion of the Annual Retainer expressed as a number of shares of Common Stock and payable in cash (either as required by the Board or as elected by a Non-Employee Director, if permitted), the amount of cash shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock by the Fair Market Value on the applicable annual meeting date. Similarly, for any portion of an Interim Retainer expressed as a number of shares of Common Stock and payable as cash, the amount of cash shall be calculated using the Fair Market Value on the date of election or appointment of the Non-Employee Director who will receive the Interim Retainer. 

14.2.5.Share-Based Awards  
     For any portion of the Retainer payable as a share-based Award, the Award shall be granted to each applicable Non-Employee Director as promptly as practicable after the Non-Employee Director becomes entitled to receive it.  The Board shall establish the terms of the Award, including the extent to which any vesting conditions will apply. 

    20

14.2.6.Deferrals of Retainers
     Payment of all or part of a Retainer may be deferred under the Sealed Air Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors or any other applicable plan or arrangement providing for the deferred payment of retainers that may be in effect from time to time. Shares of Common Stock which a Non-Employee Director becomes entitled to receive under this Plan and for which payment is deferred under any such deferral arrangement shall be deemed to be issued under this Plan when issued.

15.REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 
15.1.General. 
The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Award if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a violation by the Grantee, any other individual exercising an Option, or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares subject to an Award upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any other individual exercising an Option pursuant to such Award unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Award. Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Award, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue such shares unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other individual exercising an Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption. 
15.2.Rule 16b-3. 
During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Awards and the exercise of Options granted to officers and directors hereunder will qualify for the exemption provided by 
    21

Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Board or Committee does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement. 
16.EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION 
16.1.Changes in Stock. 
If (i) the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective Date or (ii) there occurs any spin-off, split-up, extraordinary cash dividend or other distribution of assets by the Company, the number and kinds of shares for which grants of Awards may be made under the Plan (including the per-Grantee maximums set forth in Section 4) shall be equitably adjusted by the Company; provided that any such adjustment shall comply with Section 409A. In addition, in the event of any such increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares or other transaction described in clause (ii) above, the number and kind of shares for which Awards are outstanding and the Option Price per share of outstanding Options and SAR Exercise Price per share of outstanding SARs shall be equitably adjusted; provided that any such adjustment shall comply with Section 409A.
16.2.Effect of Certain Transactions.
Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 16.3, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Plan and the Awards issued hereunder shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms, except that following a Corporate Transaction either (i) each outstanding Award shall be treated as provided for in the agreement entered into in connection with the Corporate Transaction or (ii) if not so provided in such agreement, each Grantee shall be entitled to receive in respect of each share of Common Stock subject to any outstanding Awards, upon exercise or payment or transfer in respect of any Award, the same number and kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration that each holder of a share of Common Stock was entitled to receive in the Corporate Transaction in respect of a share of Common stock; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration shall remain subject to all of the conditions, restrictions and performance criteria which were applicable to the Awards prior to such Corporate Transaction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the treatment of outstanding Options and SARs pursuant to this Section 16.2 in connection with a Corporate Transaction in which the consideration paid or distributed to the Company’s stockholders is not entirely shares of common stock of the acquiring or resulting corporation may include the cancellation of outstanding Options and SARs upon consummation of the Corporate Transaction as long as, at the election of the Committee, (i) the holders of affected Options and 
    22

SARs have been given a period of at least fifteen days prior to the date of the consummation of the Corporate Transaction to exercise the Options or SARs (to the extent otherwise exercisable) or (ii) the holders of the affected Options and SARs are paid (in cash or cash equivalents) in respect of each Share covered by the Option or SAR being canceled an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the per share price paid or distributed to stockholders in the Corporate Transaction (the value of any non-cash consideration to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) over the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price, as applicable.  For avoidance of doubt, (1) the cancellation of Options and SARs pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence may be effected notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan or any Award Agreement and (2) if the amount determined pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence is zero or less, the affected Option or SAR may be cancelled without any payment therefore.  The treatment of any Award as provided in this Section 16.2 shall be conclusively presumed to be appropriate for purposes of Section 16.1.
16.3.Change in Control 
16.3.1.Consequences of a Change in Control 

For Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors, upon a Change in Control all outstanding Awards that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, all restrictions with respect to outstanding Awards shall lapse and become vested and non-forfeitable, and any specified performance goals with respect to outstanding Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied at target. 
For Awards granted to any other Service Providers, except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Award Agreement, either of the following provisions shall apply, depending on whether, and the extent to which, Awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in a Change in Control:
(i)    To the extent such Awards are not assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the Change in Control, then upon the Change in Control such outstanding Awards that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, all restrictions with respect to such outstanding Awards, other than for Performance Awards, shall lapse and become vested and non-forfeitable, and for any outstanding Performance Awards the target payout opportunities attainable under such Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the Change in Control based upon the greater of: (A) an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the “target” level, or (B) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of the Company’s fiscal quarter end preceding the Change in Control and the Award shall become vested pro rata based on the portion of the applicable performance period completed through the date of the Change in Control.
(ii)    To the extent such Awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the Change in Control, if, within two years after the date of the Change in Control, the Service Provider has a Separation from Service either (1) by the Company other than for “cause” or (2) by the Service Provider for “good 
    23

reason” (each as defined in the applicable Award Agreement), then such outstanding Awards that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, all restrictions with respect to such outstanding Awards, other than for Performance Awards, shall lapse and become vested and non-forfeitable, and for any outstanding Performance Awards the target payout opportunities attainable under such Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the Separation from Service based upon the greater of: (A) an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the “target” level, or (B) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of the Company’s fiscal quarter end preceding the Change in Control and the Award shall become vested pro rata based on the portion of the applicable performance period completed through the date of the Separation from Service. 
16.3.2.Change in Control Defined 
Except as may otherwise be defined in an Award Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:  
 
(a)      Any Person becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of Outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that, for purposes of this definition, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any acquisition pursuant to a Corporate Transaction that complies with subsections (c)(i), (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) of this definition; 

(b)    Continuing Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; 

(c)    Consummation of a Corporate Transaction unless, following such Corporate Transaction, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, 
    24

except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Corporate Transaction were Continuing Directors at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Corporate Transaction; or 
(d) The stockholders of the Company give approval of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that an Award hereunder is subject to the requirements of Section 409A and payable upon a Change in Control, the Company will not be deemed to have undergone a Change in Control unless the Company is deemed to have undergone a “change in control event” pursuant to the definition of such term in Section 409A.
 
16.4.Adjustments
Adjustments under this Section 16 related to shares of Stock or securities of the Company shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share.
 
17.NO LIMITATIONS ON COMPANY 
The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
18.TERMS APPLICABLE GENERALLY TO AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN
18.1.Disclaimer of Rights. 
No provision in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual and the Company. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such Grantee continues to be a Service Provider. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan shall in no way be interpreted to require the 
    25

Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan. 
18.2.Nonexclusivity of the Plan. 
Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals), including, without limitation, the granting of stock options as the Board in its discretion determines desirable. 
18.3.Withholding Taxes. 
The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld (i) with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award, (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or SAR, or (iii) otherwise due in connection with an Award.  At the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or the Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or the Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or the Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such obligations, or the Company may require such obligations to be satisfied, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or the Affiliate to withhold the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation or (ii) by delivering to the Company or the Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations.  The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or the Affiliate as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 18.3 may satisfy his or her withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements. 
18.4.Captions. 
The use of captions in this Plan or any Award Agreement is for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement. 
18.5.Other Provisions. 
Each Award Agreement may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion.  In the event of any 
    26

conflict between the terms of an employment agreement and the Plan, the terms of the employment agreement govern.  
18.6.Number and Gender. 
With respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc., as the context requires. 
18.7.Severability. 
If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction. 
18.8.Governing Law. 
    The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law, and applicable Federal law.
18.9.Section 409A. 
The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Grantee’s Separation from Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Grantee’s Separation from Service (or the Grantee’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Grantee under Section 409A and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Grantee for such tax or penalty.
18.10.Separation from Service. 
The Board shall determine the effect of a Separation from Service upon Awards, and such effect shall be set forth in the appropriate Award Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Board may provide in the Award Agreements at the time of grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the Grantee, the actions that will be taken upon the occurrence of a Separation from Service, including, but not limited to, accelerated vesting or termination, depending upon the circumstances surrounding the Separation from Service.
    27

18.11.Transferability of Awards. 
18.11.1.Transfers in General.
Except as provided in Section 18.11.2, no Award shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Grantee, only the Grantee personally (or the Grantee’s personal representative) may exercise rights under the Plan.
18.11.2.Family Transfers. 
If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Award (other than Incentive Stock Options) to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 18.11.2, a “not for value” transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (iii) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 18.11.2, any such Award shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer. Subsequent transfers of transferred Awards are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 18.11.2 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  
18.12.Dividends and Dividend Equivalent Rights.  
If specified in the Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award (other than Options or SARs) may be entitled to receive dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the Common Stock or other securities covered by an Award.  The terms and conditions of a dividend equivalent right may be set forth in the Award Agreement.  Dividend equivalents credited to a Grantee may be reinvested in additional shares of Stock or other securities of the Company at a price per unit equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date that such dividend was paid to stockholders, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in no event will a dividend or dividend equivalent become payable with respect to an Award that becomes vested (i) based on the satisfaction of performance criteria before the date, and only to the extent, that such performance criteria are satisfied, or (ii) based on continued Service with the Company before the applicable vesting date.
 
The Plan was originally adopted by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2014 and was approved by the stockholders of the Company on May 22, 2014.
This amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 23, 2021 and was approved by the stockholders of the Company on May 18, 2021.
