Summary of BSA 
 Similar to share
options, non-employee warrants, or BSAs, entitle a holder to exercise the warrant for the underlying vested shares at an exercise price per share determined by our board of directors and at least equal to the fair market value of an ordinary share
on the date of grant. In addition to any exercise price payable by a holder upon the exercise of any non-employee warrant, non-employee warrants need to be subscribed for at a price which is determined by the board of directors at the time of the
grant and which, for grants made since our initial public offering in France, cannot be less than 10% of the exercise of the underlying shares. There is no legal limitation to the size of the non-employee warrant pool. 

Administration. Pursuant to delegations granted at our annual shareholders’ meeting our board of directors determines the recipients, dates
of grant and exercise price of non-employee warrants, the number of non-employee warrants to be granted and the terms and conditions of the non-employee warrants, including the period of their exercisability and their vesting schedule. The board of
directors has the authority to extend the post-termination exercise period of non-employee warrants after the end of the term of office. 

Non-Employee Warrants. Our non-employee warrants are generally fully vested subject to continued service, except for certain non-employee
warrants which vest as per the schedule determine by the board of directors. The term of non-employee warrants is ten years from the date of grant or, in the case of death or disability of the beneficiary during such ten-year period, six months from
the death or disability of the beneficiary. 
 Non-employee warrants may be transferred to any person and may be exercised by their holder at any time
subject to vesting.EX-10.7

 Exhibit 10.7 

Summary of BSPCE 
 Similar to share
options, employee warrants, or BSPCEs, entitle a holder to exercise the warrant for the underlying vested shares at an exercise price per share determined by our board of directors and at least equal to the fair market value of an ordinary share on
the date of grant. Employee warrants may only be issued by growth companies meeting certain criteria. There is no legal limitation to the size of the employee warrant pool under French law. 

Administration. Pursuant to delegations granted at our annual shareholders’ meeting our board of directors determined the recipients, dates
of grant and exercise price of employee warrants, the number of employee warrants to be granted and the terms and conditions of the employee warrants, including the period of their exercisability and their vesting schedule. The board of directors
had the authority to extend the post-termination exercise period of employee warrants after the termination of the employment agreement. 
 Employee
Warrants. Our employee warrants were generally granted subject to a four-year vesting schedule under which one-fourth (1/4) of the employee warrants vest upon each anniversary of grant during four years, subject to continued service.
In each case, any warrant which is not exercised before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant will automatically lapse. The term of each employee warrant is ten years from the date of grant or, in the case of death or disability of the
beneficiary during such ten-year period, six months from the death or disability of the beneficiary in accordance with French law. 
 Employee warrants are
not transferable and may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the beneficiary, only by the
beneficiary. 
 Change in Control. Employee warrants generally provide that unvested warrants will accelerate in case of a change in
control at any time. 
 Initial Public Offering. Since our initial public offering in France in 2012, we can no longer issue employee
warrants.EX-10.1

(i) Annual Elections. Except as set forth in paragraph (ii) below, Deferral Elections shall be made on or before
the December 31 (or such other date, as determined by the Plan Administrator) of the year prior to the calendar year to which the Deferral Election applies. Any Deferral Election under this paragraph shall (i) be irrevocable, except as

the year in which such election is to be effective, and (ii) apply only with respect to compensation for services performed during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such election is made. 

(ii) Initial Eligibility. With respect to any individual who (1) first becomes an Eligible Employee after
January 1 of any year, and (2) is not already eligible to participate in another nonqualified deferred compensation plan that would be aggregated with the Plan for purposes of section 409A of the Code, such Eligible Employee may make an
initial Deferral Election no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the date on which such individual becomes an Eligible Employee. Any Deferral Election under this paragraph shall

 (d) Form of Distributions. A Deferral Election shall indicate that the compensation
subject to such Deferral Election (as adjusted for earnings equivalents) shall be paid in one of the following forms: 
 (i)
Lump sum payment, or 
 (ii) Ten (10) annual installments. The amount of each such installment shall, subject to
Section 5, be equal to the balance of the portion of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account attributable to such Deferral Election, determined as of the close of business on the day before the distribution, divided by the number
of remaining installments. 
 (e) Time of Distributions. A Deferral Election shall indicate that the compensation subject to such
deferral election (as adjusted for earnings equivalents) shall be paid during the later of: 
 (i) The month following the
six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service; and 
 (ii) The month in which the
Participant attains age 55, 60, 65 or 70, as elected by the Participant (the “Age Election”). 
 (f) Subsequent Deferral
Elections. Subject to rules established by the Plan Administrator, a Participant may modify the “Form of Distribution” and/or the “Age Election” components of his or her Deferral Election (a “Subsequent Deferral
Election”) in accordance with the following:

Election with respect to each Deferral Election;

than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date the Participant would have received a distribution had no Subsequent Deferral Election been made; and 

(v) the Subsequent Deferral Election will be irrevocable. 

(g) Default Elections. If a Deferral Election does not indicate a valid time of distribution, the Participant shall be deemed to have
elected to receive the compensation subject to such Deferral Election on the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service. If a Participant’s Deferral Election does not indicate a valid form of distribution,
the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive the compensation subject to such deferral in the form of a lump sum payment. 

  
 5 

 3. Deferred Compensation Accounts. The Company shall establish on its books an account (a
“Deferred Compensation Account”). Each Deferred Compensation Account shall be divided into a separate subaccount with respect to each Deferral Election made by the Eligible Employee. Each subaccount shall be credited with the amount
deferred for the year to which such Deferral Election applies. Each subaccount shall also be credited or debited with the amount (“earnings equivalents”) equal to the rate of return or loss, as the case may be, attributable to the
Participant’s earnings elections. Deferred Compensation Accounts and the respective subaccounts shall be for bookkeeping purposes only, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be obligated to set aside or segregate any assets in respect
of such accounts. 
 4. Earnings Elections. The Plan Administrator shall from time to time designate two or more investment
benchmarks, the rates of return or loss of which, based upon a Participant’s earnings election, shall be used to determine the rate of return or loss to be credited to the subaccounts established within the Participant’s Deferred
Compensation Account. A Participant’s earnings election shall specify the percentages (in whole percentage increments) of the investment benchmarks that shall be used to determine the rate of return or loss applicable to his or her Deferred
Compensation Account, and the Participant may change his or her earnings election at such time and in such manner as shall be specified by the Plan Administrator, from time to time. 

5. Distribution. 
 (a)
In General. Subject to the remaining subsections of this Section 5, distributions of amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be made at the time and in the manner indicated in such Participant’s
Deferral Elections, taking into account any valid Subsequent Deferral Election. The amount of any distribution pursuant to this Section 5 shall be reduced by any amount required by law to be deducted or withheld, including income tax
withholding. 
 (b) Distributions in the Event of Death. In the event of a Participant’s death, the balance of the
Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, if any, shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s death; provided, however, that if installment
payments have commenced to the Participant, then all amounts subject to such installment payments shall continue to the Participant’s Beneficiary. 

(c) Small Amount Cash-Outs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the balance of a Participant’s Deferred
Compensation Account is, at any time following the Participant’s Separation from Service equal to or less than the then applicable amount prescribed by section 402(g) of the Code, then the balance of the Deferred Compensation Account will be
paid to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum during the later of (i) the month following the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service, and (ii) the calendar month
following the date such balance is determined to be equal to or less than such applicable amount. 

  
 6 

 (d) Distributions in the Event of a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in
Control, the balance of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, if any, shall be distributed to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as applicable, in a single lump sum within ninety (90) days following such Change in
Control. 
 6. Amendment and Termination. The Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by the Management Development and
Compensation Committee of the Board (or a duly authorized delegate thereof), except that no such amendment or termination shall reduce or otherwise adversely affect the rights of a Participant in respect of amounts credited to his or her Deferred
Compensation Account as of the date of such amendment or termination; provided, however, that the distribution of Deferred Compensation Accounts in connection with an amendment or termination of the Plan or any amendment to Section 7(c) in
respect of the Company’s obligation to establish or fund a trust upon a Change in Control shall be deemed not to constitute a reduction of, or to otherwise adversely affect, a Participant’s rights in respect of amounts credited to his or
her Deferred Compensation Account. The Plan Administrator shall have the right to amend the Plan at any time if such amendment (a) is required or advisable to satisfy or conform to any law or regulation or (b) is administrative in nature.

 7. Application of ERISA. 

(a) Plan Not Funded. The Plan shall not be a funded plan, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall be under any obligation to set
aside any funds for the purpose of making payments under the Plan. Any payments hereunder shall be made out of the general assets of the Company. 

(b) Trust. The Company may establish a trust subject to sections 671, et seq., of the Code to hold assets for the purposes of
satisfying the Company’s obligations under the Plan. Such trust shall not permit a reversion of any assets of the Company or any Affiliate following a Change in Control. Neither the establishment of, or the contribution of assets to, any such
trust shall relieve the Company of its liabilities hereunder, but such liabilities shall be reduced to the extent of any assets paid by such trust to a Participant. 

(c) Funding upon a Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the Company shall establish the trust described in Section 7(b) to
the extent such a trust has not already been established, and the Company shall deposit in such trust assets sufficient to satisfy its obligations under the Plan, determined as of the date of the Change in Control. 

8. Administration. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator may delegate all or any of his or her authority hereunder. The Plan Administrator shall be charged with the administration of the Plan and shall have the power to interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules and guidelines for
implementing the terms of the Plan as it may deem appropriate. Benefits will be paid under the Plan only if the Plan Administrator decides in its sole discretion that an individual is entitled to such benefits. 

  
 7 

 (b) Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Plan Administrator shall have full
power and authority to: 
 (i) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to the Plan; 

(ii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive rules and guidelines of the Plan; 

(iii) appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; 

(iv) make any other determination and take any other action that the Plan Administrator deems necessary or desirable for the
administration of the Plan; and 
 (v) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in
the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect. 
 (c) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan,
all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all
persons, including the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant and any employee of the Company or of any Affiliate. 
 9. Claims
Procedure. 
 (a) If any Participant or distributee believes he or she is entitled to benefits in an amount greater than those which he
or she is receiving or has received, such Participant or distributee or his or her authorized representative may file a claim with the most senior employee of the Company and its Affiliates whose responsibilities and duties are primarily related to
compensation matters (the “Claims Administrator”) or such other employee of the Company which from time to time assumes the responsibilities with respect to the Plan which are allocated to the Claims Administrator. Such a claim shall be in
writing and state the nature of the claim, the facts supporting the claim, the amount claimed, and the address of the claimant. The Claims Administrator shall review the claim and, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, within
ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim, give written notice by registered or certified mail to the claimant of his or her decision with respect to the claim. If special circumstances require an extension of time, the claimant shall be so
advised in writing within the initial ninety (90) day period and in no event shall such an extension exceed ninety (90) days. The notice of the decision of the Claims Administrator with respect to the claim shall be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant and, if the claim is wholly or partially denied, set forth the specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the claim review procedure under the Plan and the time limits applicable to
such procedure, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination upon review. The Claims Administrator also shall advise the claimant that such
claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may request a review by the Plan Administrator of the denial by filing with the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after notice of the denial has 

  
 8 

 been received by the claimant, a written request for such review. The claimant shall be informed, within the same
sixty (60) day period, that he or she (a) may be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claims for benefits and
(b) may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits to the Plan Administrator. If a request is so filed, review of the denial shall be made by the Plan Administrator within, unless
special circumstances require an extension of time, sixty (60) days after receipt of such request, and the claimant shall be given written notice of the Plan Administrator’s final decision. If special circumstances require an extension of
time, the claimant shall be so advised in writing within the initial sixty (60) day period and in no event shall such an extension exceed sixty (60) days. The review shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other
information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The notice of the Plan Administrator’s final decision shall be written in
a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include specific reasons for the decision, specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon
request and free of charge, access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the benefit claim and a statement that the claimant has the right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA. 

(b) No legal action for benefits or eligibility under the Plan or otherwise related to the Plan, including without limitation any lawsuit, may
be brought by an Eligible Employee if he or she has not timely filed a claim and a review for such benefits or other matter pursuant to Section 9(a) and otherwise exhausted all administrative remedies under the Plan. No legal action, including
without limitation any lawsuit, may be brought in connection with any matter related to the Plan more than one (1) year after the date the Plan Administrator provides written notice of its final decision on the underlying claim. 

10. Dispute Resolution. The parties will settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or related to the Plan or any benefits
hereunder in accordance with the terms of any then effective Company alternative dispute resolution procedure (which may, from time to time, be referred to as “Solutions”) to the extent such dispute, controversy or claim is covered by such
procedure. 
 11. Nonassignment of Benefits. It shall be a condition of the payment of benefits under the Plan that neither such
benefits nor any portion thereof shall be assigned, alienated or transferred to any person voluntarily or by operation of any law, including any assignment, division or awarding of property under state domestic law (including community property
law). If any person shall endeavor or purport to make any such assignment, alienation or transfer, the amount otherwise provided hereunder, which is the subject of such assignment, alienation or transfer, shall cease to be payable to any person.

 12. No Guaranty of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between any the Company
or any Affiliate and any individual or as conferring a right on any individual to be continued in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate. 

  
 9 

 13. Miscellaneous. (a) FICA Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 2, all federal
and state income taxes and the tax imposed by section 3121 of the Code with respect to any amount deferred pursuant to the Plan shall be withheld and contributed from the portion of the Participant’s salary not deferred pursuant to the Plan at
the time and in the manner prescribed by law. 
 (b) Successors; Binding Agreement. The Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Company and the Participants, and any successor to the Company or an Affiliate. 

(c) Headings. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan
and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan. 
 (d) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted
pursuant to the terms hereof shall have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address. 

(e) Employment with Affiliates. For purposes of the Plan, employment with the Company shall include employment with any of the
Affiliates. 
 (f) Governing Law and Venue; Validity. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with,
the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to principles of conflicts of laws) to the extent not preempted by Federal law, which shall otherwise control. To the extent any claim or other legal action involving or related to the Plan
may be brought in any court notwithstanding Section 10 of the Plan, such legal action must be brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York and no other Federal or state court. If any provision of the Plan
shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included. 

(g) Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder
(“Section 409A”) and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent. In the event the terms of the Plan would subject any Participant or Beneficiary to taxes or penalties under Section 409A (“409A
Penalties”), the Company may amend the terms of the Plan to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Company be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other
losses or expenses incurred by a Participant or other person due to any failure to comply with Section 409A.
