Promptly after the Transfer of the Option Shares Date the Beneficiary shall deposit 11% of the Option Purchase Price (in lieu of payment of such amount to the Grantors) with an escrow agent located in the United States (provided that the agent is an office of a French bank located in the United States) selected by the Beneficiary and reasonably acceptable to the Managers (the Escrow Agent), such deposit, together with any interest that may be earned thereon, shall constitute the escrow funds (the Escrow Funds). The Escrow Funds shall be held by the Escrow Agent and be available until the first anniversary of the Transfer of the Option Shares Date (the Escrow Period) to compensate the Indemnified Parties for indemnifiable Losses arising from Claims submitted by the Beneficiary pursuant to this Article 8. During the period between the Notice of Interest and the Transfer of the Option Shares Date, the Beneficiary and the Grantors shall enter into and agreement with the Escrow Agent (the Escrow Agreement) containing terms that address: (i) procedures for the release of Escrow Funds to the Indemnified Parties in response to Claims, including a provision, consistent with Section 8.3, that the Escrow Agent shall pay any Losses specified in a Claim in the absence of a written objection by the Managers within 30 days after their receipt of the applicable Claim Notice; (ii) the handling and investment of the Escrow Funds during the Escrow Period; (iii) the disbursement of the remaining Escrow Funds to the Grantors at the end of the Escrow Period (subject to any pending Claims); and (iv) other reasonable and customary terms for such escrow agreements.

For clarity, the procedures specified in this Section 8.7 and the amount of the Escrow Funds do not constitute the Beneficiarys exclusive remedy with respect to Claims or other liabilities arising from or related to this Agreement, and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2, the Beneficiary may seek all other remedies available at law or equity with respect to Claims or such other liabilities.

7.1.2 less any dividends distributed by the Company after January 1, 2007, other than the distribution to be made in 2007 and pertaining to the profits for fiscal year 2006.
7.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the Earn Out will not include any profits made before January 1, 2007 and in the event the Company would have made no profits during the Interim Period, then the amount of the Earn Out shall be equal to zero and no Earn Out shall be paid.
7.3 In order to be able to calculate the Earn Out, the Grantors will draw up the balance sheet (bilan) of the Company as of the closing of the Interim Period and the profit and loss accounts for the Interim Period (together the Interim Financial Statements), as soon as possible after the end of the Interim Period. The Grantors shall provide a draft of the Interim Financial Statements to the Beneficiary together with the proposed amount of the Earn Out calculated as set forth above.
7
The Beneficiary shall notify the Grantors within thirty (30) days of receipt of the draft Interim Financial Statements whether or not it agrees on the draft Interim Financial Statements prepared by the Grantors and on the calculation of the Earn Out made by the Grantors. If the Beneficiary notifies the Grantors its disagreement on the draft Interim Financial Statements and/or on the calculation of the Earn Out (the Notice of Non-Acceptance), then the Earn Out shall be calculated by the Expert as set out in Schedule A.
7.4 Within ten (10) days after final determination of the Interim Finance Statements and final calculation of the Earn Out, either by mutual consent of the Beneficiary and the Grantors or by the Expert, the Earn Out will be paid to the Grantors by check or bank transfer. The Earn Out shall be paid to the Grantors prorata the number of Option Shares sold by each of them.

Schedule A
1. Should the Beneficiary disagree with the draft Interim Financial Statements prepared by the Grantors, then the Beneficiary and the Grantors shall discuss in good faith the objections of the Beneficiary on those items of the draft Interim Financial Statements and/or the calculation of the Earn Out on which they disagree (the Disputed Items) and shall use their reasonable endeavors to reach an agreement on such Disputed Items, within ten (10) days of the Notice of Non-Acceptance (or any other date as the Beneficiary and the Grantors may agree in writing).
2. If the Grantors and the Beneficiary do not reach an agreement on the draft Interim Financial Statements and/or on the calculation of the Earn Out within the period referred to in paragraph 1 above, then the Disputed Items (and only those) shall be referred, on the application of either the Beneficiary or the Grantors, for determination to an expert chosen by the Beneficiary and the Grantors (said expert or any successor thereof, the Expert). Failing an agreement among the Beneficiary and the Grantors on such designation within twenty (20) days of the Notice of Non Acceptance, any of them may request the President of the Commercial Court of Paris ruling under summary proceedings (statuant en référé) to appoint an independent firm of internationally recognized chartered accountants, each of the Beneficiary and the Grantors having the opportunity to be heard. If the initial Expert (or any of its successor(s) appointed in accordance with the procedure set out hereafter) refuses, or is unable to carry out its mission hereunder then its successor shall be appointed as set forth in this paragraph 2.
3. Following appointment of the Expert, the Beneficiary and the Grantors shall each promptly (and in any event within such time frame as reasonably enables the Expert to make its decision in accordance with the period set forth in paragraph 5 below prepare and deliver to the Expert a written statement on the Disputed Items (together with the relevant documents including the Draft Interim Financial Statements and the calculation of the Earn Out). The Beneficiary and the Grantors agree to promptly provide each other and where applicable, the Expert, with all information in their respective possession or control relating to the operations of the Company, including access at all reasonable times to all employees, books, records and files, and other relevant information and all co-operation and assistance, as may be reasonably required to enable the production of and the review of the draft Interim Financial Statements.
4. The mission of the Expert shall be limited to the review and resolution of the Disputed Items based solely upon the elements presented by the Parties and not by independent review. The Expert shall act as pursuant to the provisions of Clause 1592 of the French Civil Code and its decision shall be final and binding on the Parties (absent any gross mistake) and shall not be subject to any recourse before a court or arbitration tribunal except as necessary to enforce such decision.
5. The Expert shall make its decision after due hearings of the Beneficiary and the Grantors. The Expert shall be requested to give its decision within thirty (30) days of acceptance by the Expert of its appointment hereunder.
6. The decision of the Expert shall be founded and the Expert shall provide the Beneficiary and the Grantors with a final version of the Interim Financial Statements, together with a calculation of the amount of the Earn Out, and shall specify in reasonable details what adjustments, if any, have been made to the draft Interim Financial Statements and the calculation of the Earn Out in respect of the Disputed Items.
7. The fees and expenses of the Expert shall be borne equally between the Beneficiary, on the one hand, and the Grantors, on the other hand.
