Agreement and purchase the Guaranteed Notes, the Guarantor hereby agrees with each Investor as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Definitions.
Reference is hereby made to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Guaranteed Notes for a statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Limited Guaranty, which are defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Guaranteed Notes and

of the Guaranteed Notes not to exceed an aggregate of $5,000,000 (the “Guaranteed Principal Amount”), and (B) interest on the Guaranteed Principal Amount at a rate per annum equal to twenty percent (20%) (including,

 SECTION 3. Guarantor’s Obligations Unconditional.

the Company’s obligations under each Guaranteed Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Guaranteed Notes), and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Limited
Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Company or whether the Company is 

  

 Guaranty

enforceability of the Guaranteed Notes or any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the
Guaranteed Notes, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any provision of the Guaranteed Notes or any other Transaction Document other than this Limited Guaranty, including the creation or existence of any Guaranteed
Obligations in excess of the amount evidenced by the Guaranteed Notes (provided, however, that the terms and conditions of the Guaranteed Notes shall not be amended without the prior written consent of the Guarantor); (iii) the

full, and (ii) shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Noteholder upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 SECTION 4. Waivers. The
Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) promptness and diligence; (ii) notice of acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any Guaranteed Obligations by the Company; (iii) notice of any actions taken
by any Noteholder or the Company under the Guaranteed Notes or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, other than this Limited Guaranty; (iv) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other
formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section 4, might constitute grounds for relieving the Guarantor of its obligations
hereunder; and (v) any right to compel or direct any Noteholder to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Limited Guaranty from any one particular fund or source. 
 SECTION 5. Subrogation. Until all obligations under the Guaranteed Notes have been paid in full in cash or otherwise converted in accordance with
the terms thereof, the Guarantor hereby waives and irrevocably agrees it will not exercise any and all rights which it has or may have at any time or from time to time (whether arising directly or indirectly by operation of law or contract) to
assert any claim against the Company on account of any payments made under this Limited Guaranty, including, without limitation, any and all existing and future rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution and/or indemnity. If any
amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the obligations under the Guaranteed Notes and all such other expenses shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Noteholders, shall be segregated from the other funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid over to the Noteholders on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount outstanding under each 

  

 Guaranty 

 
Noteholder’s respective Guaranteed Note, to be applied in whole or in part by the Noteholders against the Company’s outstanding obligations under
the Guaranteed Notes, whether matured or unmatured, and all such other expenses in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed Notes. 
 SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) The Guarantor
(i) is a société par actions simplifiée incorporated under the laws of France and registered with the Clerk of the Commercial Court of Nanterre under the number 481 676 062; and (ii) has all requisite
corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Limited Guaranty. 
 (b) The execution, delivery and
performance by the Guarantor of this Limited Guaranty (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (ii) do not contravene its bylaws (statuts) or any applicable law, (iii) do not violate any contractual
restriction binding on or otherwise affecting the Guarantor, and (iv) do not result in or require the creation of any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its properties. 
 (c) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the due
execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Limited Guaranty. 
 (d) This Limited Guaranty is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws and general equity principles affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. 
 (e) The Guarantor now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining
information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Company, and has no need of, or right to obtain from any Noteholder, any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company
that may come under the control of any Noteholder. 
 SECTION 7. Payments. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Guarantor and
each Noteholder, the Guarantor will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America (“Dollars”) and in immediately available funds to each Noteholder, at such address specified by such Person from time to
time by notice to the Guarantor. The specification under this Limited Guaranty of Dollars is of the essence. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Guarantor and each Noteholder, the Guarantor’s obligation hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or
recovery results in the effective receipt by each Noteholder of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to such Noteholder under this Limited Guaranty or the other Transaction Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing
judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the 

  

 Guaranty 

 
“Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which the Noteholder could, in accordance with
normal lending procedures, purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Guarantor in respect of any such sum due from it to any Noteholder hereunder shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in such Judgment Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Noteholder receives any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such
Noteholder may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Noteholder in Dollars, the Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation
and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Noteholder against such loss, and if the Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to such Noteholder in Dollars, such Noteholder agrees to remit to the Guarantor such excess.

 SECTION 8. Indemnity and Expenses. 
 (a) The Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold each Noteholder harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the
reasonable legal fees and disbursements of such Noteholder’s counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Limited Guaranty (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Limited Guaranty), except to the
extent such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, costs or expenses result from such Noteholder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Guarantor will upon demand pay to each Noteholder the amount of any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such Noteholder’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Noteholder may incur in connection with (i) the amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Limited Guaranty, (ii) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of such Noteholder hereunder, or (iii) the failure by the Guarantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied or
delivered, if to the Guarantor, to it at the address specified below its signature at the end of this Limited Guaranty; if to the Noteholder, to it at its address set forth on Schedule A hereto; or, as to any such Person, at such other
address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Persons complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if sent by registered mail,
return receipt requested, when received or three (3) Business Days after mailing, whichever first occurs, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and a confirmation is received, provided the same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next
Business Day, or (iii) if delivered, upon delivery, provided the same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day. 
  

 Guaranty 

 SECTION 10. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. 
 (c) ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS LIMITED GUARANTY OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS THEREOF, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS LIMITED GUARANTY, THE GUARANTOR HEREBY ACCEPTS, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON
THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE
BY THE COURT. 
 (d) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints Capitol Services, Inc., with an office at 1218 Central Avenue, Suite 100,
Albany, New York 12205 (the “Agent for Service of Process”) as agent to receive on its behalf, service of process in the State of New York for purposes of this Limited Guaranty. The Guarantor further agrees that such service of
process may be made on the Agent for Service of Process by personal service on such Agent for Service of Process of the summons and complaint or other legal process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, or by any other
method of service provided for under applicable laws in effect in the State of New York, and hereby authorizes the Agent for Service of Process to accept such service on its behalf and to admit service with respect thereto. Service upon the Agent
for Service of Process as aforesaid shall be deemed personal service on the Guarantor, for all purposes, notwithstanding any failure of the Agent for Service of Process to mail to the Guarantor copies of the legal process served upon it, or any
failure by it to receive such copies. 
 (c) To the extent that the Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of
any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in
respect of its obligations under this Limited Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION 11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE
GUARANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, EACH NOTEHOLDER, WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, OR THE VALIDITY,
PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 
 (e) No amendment of any provision of this Limited Guaranty shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Guarantor and each Noteholder, and
no waiver of any provision of this Limited Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Noteholder, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
 (f) No failure on the part of any Noteholder to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder, under the Guaranteed Notes or any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right. The rights and remedies of the Noteholders provided herein, in the Guaranteed Notes and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The
rights of the Noteholders under the Guaranteed Notes or any Transaction Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by any Noteholder to exercise any of its rights under its Guaranteed Note or any other
Transaction Document against such party or against any other Person. 
 (g) Any provision of this Limited Guaranty which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

and assigns, and (ii) inure, together with all rights and remedies of each Noteholder hereunder, to the benefit of such Noteholder and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, solely to the extent permitted by Section 17 of such Guaranteed Note, each Noteholder may assign or otherwise transfer the Guaranteed Note held by it, and assign or otherwise transfer its rights under any other
Transaction Document, to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Noteholder herein or otherwise. None of the rights or obligations of the Guarantor hereunder
may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Noteholders. 
 (i) This Limited Guaranty shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein without regard to conflict of law principles.
