As promptly as possible following the date hereof, Topco shall appoint a United States bank or trust company or other independent financial institution in the United States reasonably satisfactory to FMCTI and Technip (the “Exchange Agent”) to act, among other things, as exchange agent for the FMCTI Merger and to deliver the FMCTI Merger Consideration to former stockholders of FMCTI. If reasonably agreed by FMCTI and Technip, the Exchange Agent shall also act as exchange agent for the Technip Merger and deliver the Technip Merger Consideration to former stockholders of Technip. If FMCTI and Technip reasonably agree to appoint a third party to act as exchange agent for the Technip Merger and deliver the Technip Merger Consideration to former stockholders of Technip, then (i) as promptly as possible following the date hereof, Topco shall appoint a bank or trust company or other independent financial institution reasonably satisfactory to FMCTI and Technip to act as exchange agent for the Technip Merger and deliver the Technip Merger Consideration to former stockholders of Technip and (ii) all references herein to the “Exchange Agent” shall be deemed to refer to the applicable exchange agent. The parties shall enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent, which agreement shall set forth the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Exchange Agent consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with English Law and French Law, as applicable, at the Technip Effective Time, the Technip Merger shall occur, upon the consummation of which Technip shall be merged with and into Topco, and without any additional action on the part of Technip, the separate corporate existence of Technip shall thereupon cease and Topco shall continue as the surviving company in the Technip Merger. The Technip Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the Cross-Border Merger Terms and the applicable provisions of the UK Merger Regulations and the French Merger Regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to applicable Law, from and after the Technip Effective Time all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Technip and Topco shall vest in Topco and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of Technip and Topco shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of Topco.

As a result of the FMCTI Merger, FMCTI shall become a wholly owned, indirect Subsidiary of Topco. The FMCTI Merger shall have the effects specified in the DGCL and DLLCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the FMCTI Effective Time, the FMCTI Merger Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities and duties of FMCTI and U.S. Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL and DLLCA.

Section 1.5. Effect of the Technip Merger on Technip Shares and Topco Shares.

Topco shall allot and issue, for each issued and outstanding Technip Share at the Technip Effective Time (other than Technip Shares that are held in the treasury of Technip or owned by Technip or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Technip, as of immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time (each, an “Excluded Technip Share”)), the Technip Exchange Ratio of a validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Topco Share, having the terms set forth in the Topco Articles of Association (the “Technip Merger Consideration”).

(ii) Excluded Technip Shares. Each Excluded Technip Share shall immediately following the Technip Effective Time be cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no consideration being paid with respect thereto.

(iii) Conversion of Technip Shares. As of the Technip Effective Time, all Technip Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall cease to exist and each book-entry position with depositary intermediaries (including CACEIS – CT, the Technip Group registrar) participating in the centralized depositary and clearing system managed by Citibank Shareholder Services (the “Technip Depositary”) previously representing any such shares shall thereafter represent Topco Shares allotted for such Technip Shares in the Technip Merger in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(i).

(iv) Conversion of Capital Stock of Topco. Each Topco Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time shall be redesignated as deferred shares and/or repurchased by Topco as of the Technip Effective Time (and with the Topco Board being authorized to cancel any repurchased Topco Shares, if desirable, such that those Topco Shares shall cease to exist), with no consideration being paid with respect thereto.

(b) Unclaimed Funds. Any former stockholders of Technip who have not complied with this Section 1.5 prior to the date that is 180 days after the Technip Effective Time shall be limited to a claim against Topco for delivery of such former stockholder’s Topco Shares and payment of any dividends and other distributions in respect of Topco Shares of such stockholder payable and/or issuable pursuant to this ARTICLE I upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of the applicable certificates formerly representing the Technip Shares (or other similar instruments) or written instructions for the transfer and cancellation of any entry in the records of Technip or its transfer agent formerly representing the Technip Shares, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Topco, Technip, FMCTI, U.S. Merger Sub, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Technip Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 1.6. Effect of the FMCTI Merger on FMCTI Shares; FMCTI Merger Exchange.

(a) As a result of the FMCTI Merger and the transactions contemplated by Section 1.3 and without any additional action on the part of FMCTI, U.S. Merger Sub or the holders of any capital stock of FMCTI or U.S. Merger Sub, at the FMCTI Effective Time:

(i) FMCTI Merger Consideration. Topco shall allot and issue for each FMCTI Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time (other than each Excluded FMCTI Share), and each such FMCTI Share shall automatically be converted (and

shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist) into the right to receive as of the FMCTI Effective Time, the FMCTI Exchange Ratio of a fully paid and non-assessable Topco Share, having the terms set forth in the Topco Articles of Association (such number of Topco Shares, the “FMCTI Merger Consideration” and, together with the Technip Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). “Excluded FMCTI Share” means each FMCTI Share that as of immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time is (i) held in the treasury of FMCTI, or (ii) owned by Topco, U.S. Merger Sub, or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of FMCTI, but not including any FMCTI Shares that are held in a grantor trust for the benefit of FMCTI Service Providers.

(ii) Excluded FMCTI Shares. Each Excluded FMCTI Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time shall immediately following the FMCTI Effective Time be cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no consideration being paid with respect thereto.

(iii) Conversion of U.S. Merger Sub Shares. As of the FMCTI Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of U.S. Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time shall automatically be converted into the right to receive one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01, of the FMCTI Merger Surviving Corporation, which shares at such time shall comprise the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the FMCTI Merger Surviving Corporation.

(b) In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of FMCTI Shares in connection with the FMCTI Merger.

(c) At the FMCTI Effective Time, subject to any modification in accordance with Section 5.16(a), the actions contemplated under the heading “Other Actions To Be Taken In Connection With the FMCTI Effective Time” in Section 5.16(a) of the FMCTI Disclosure Letter shall be consummated.

Section 1.7. Effect of the Mergers on Options and Awards.

(a) Effect of the Technip Merger on Technip Stock Awards.

(i) Each option to purchase or subscribe for Technip Shares (a “Technip Stock Option”) granted under the employee and director stock plans of Technip (the “Technip Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire Technip Shares and shall be converted, at the Technip Effective Time, into an option to purchase Topco Shares (a “Topco Stock Option”) on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Technip Stock Option immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time, except as adjusted hereby. The number of Topco Shares subject to each such Topco Stock Option shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (A) the number of Technip Shares subject to such Technip Stock Option immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time and (B) the Technip Exchange Ratio, and each such Topco Stock Option

shall have an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per Technip Share of such Technip Stock Option immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time divided by (y) the Technip Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of Topco Shares subject to such Topco Stock Option will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent applicable.

(ii) Each award of performance restricted stock units relating to Technip Shares granted under the Technip Stock Plans (any such award a “Technip Equity Right” and such awards together with the Technip Stock Options, the “Technip Stock Awards”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time shall cease to relate to or represent a right to receive Technip Shares and shall be converted, at the Technip Effective Time, into a right relating to or to receive Topco Shares (a “Topco Equity Right” and, together with the Topco Stock Options, “Topco Stock Awards”) of the same type and on the same terms and conditions (including any minimum vesting and/or holding period with respect to the shares delivered upon vesting of such awards) as were applicable to the corresponding Technip Equity Right immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time, except as adjusted hereby. The number of Topco Shares covered by each such Topco Equity Right shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (A) the number of Technip Shares subject to the Technip Equity Right immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time and (B) the Technip Exchange Ratio. Any minimum holding period applicable to the Technip Shares delivered upon the vesting of the Technip Equity Rights prior to the Technip Effective Time shall continue for the same duration with respect to the Topco Shares for which such Technip Shares are exchanged, to the extent required by applicable Law.

(iii) To the extent any Technip Stock Award is, immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time, subject to any performance-based vesting or other performance conditions, the Technip Board, or an applicable committee thereof, may, prior to the Technip Effective Time and in consultation with FMCTI, make such equitable adjustments, if any, to the applicable vesting terms, performance goals or conditions relating to such Technip Stock Awards, as the Technip Board (or such committee, as applicable) may determine to be necessary or appropriate as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, which equitable adjustments shall take effect upon and be subject to the consummation of the Mergers; provided, that (A) any such adjustments that would reasonably be expected to (I) result in material Taxes (including social charges) being imposed on the Technip Group, (II) accelerate delivery of unrestricted Technip Shares, if such acceleration would be prohibited by applicable Law or (III) adversely impact the ability of either of the counsel listed in Section 7.2(e) to render the opinion described in Section 7.2(e) at the expected Merger Effective Date, in each case, shall require the consent of FMCTI, and (B) all such adjustments will be made subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Technip Stock Plans and the Technip Stock Awards.

(iv) As soon as practicable after the Technip Effective Time, Topco shall deliver to the holders of Technip Stock Awards appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective Technip Stock Awards and stating that such Technip Stock Awards and the agreements relating thereto have been assumed by Topco and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required or permitted by Section 1.7(a) after giving effect to the Technip Merger and the terms of the Technip Stock Plans and any adjustments required by applicable Law).

(v) Prior to the Technip Effective Time, Technip shall take all necessary actions for the treatment of Technip Stock Awards under this Section 1.7(a); provided that such actions shall expressly be conditioned upon the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall be of no effect if this Agreement is terminated. Topco shall be authorized to issue a number of Topco Shares at least equal to the number of Topco Shares that will be subject to Topco Stock Awards as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 1.7(a), by authorizing the issuance of such shares and taking any other appropriate corporate action, and if the parties agree in good faith that it is reasonably necessary for the purposes of assisting in the administration and settling of any Topco Stock Awards and any Topco equity incentive plan, the establishment and settlement of an employee benefit trust.

(b) Effect of the FMCTI Merger on FMCTI Stock Awards.

(i) Each option to purchase or subscribe for FMCTI Shares (a “FMCTI Stock Option”) granted under the Amended and Restated FMCTI Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan and all subplans thereof (the “FMCTI Stock Plan”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire FMCTI Shares and shall be converted, at the FMCTI Effective Time, into a Topco Stock Option on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such FMCTI Stock Option immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, except as adjusted hereby. The number of Topco Shares subject to each such Topco Stock Option shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (A) the number of FMCTI Shares subject to such FMCTI Stock Option immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time and (B) the FMCTI Exchange Ratio, and each such Topco Stock Option shall have an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per FMCTI Share of such FMCTI Stock Option immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time divided by (y) the FMCTI Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of Topco Shares subject to such Topco Stock Option will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable.

(ii) Each award of restricted stock units or performance restricted stock units relating to FMCTI Shares granted under the FMCTI Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time and that would vest and become payable pursuant to its terms at the FMCTI Effective Time (each such award, a “Vested FMCTI Equity Right”) shall immediately vest and be earned and payable pursuant to its terms and this Section 1.7(b)(ii) immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time and the holder of any such Vested FMCTI Equity Right shall receive FMCTI Shares in complete settlement thereof immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time in the form of FMCTI Book-Entry Interests to be held by The Depository Trust Company. The FMCTI Shares received upon settlement of such Vested FMCTI Equity Right shall be treated in a manner consistent with Section 1.6.

(iii) Each award of restricted stock units relating to FMCTI Shares granted under the FMCTI Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time and that is not a Vested FMCTI Equity Right (each such award, an “Unvested FMCTI Equity Right” and, collectively with the Vested FMCTI Equity Rights, the “FMCTI Equity Rights”) shall cease to relate to or represent a right to receive FMCTI Shares and shall be converted, at the FMCTI Effective Time, into a Topco Equity Right of the same type and on the same terms and conditions (including any minimum vesting and/or holding period with respect to the shares delivered upon vesting of such awards) as were applicable to the corresponding Unvested FMCTI Equity Right immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, except as adjusted hereby. The number of Topco Shares covered by each such Topco Equity Right shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of FMCTI Shares subject to the Unvested FMCTI Equity Right immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time and (y) the FMCTI Exchange Ratio. Any minimum holding period applicable to the FMCTI Shares delivered upon the vesting of the Unvested FMCTI Equity Rights prior to the FMCTI Effective Time shall continue for the same duration with respect to the Topco Shares for which such FMCTI Shares are exchanged, to the extent required by applicable Law.

(iv) To the extent any Unvested FMCTI Equity Right or unvested FMCTI Stock Option (collectively, the “Unvested FMCTI Stock Awards”) is, immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, subject to any performance-based vesting or other performance conditions, the FMCTI Board, or an applicable committee thereof, may, prior to the FMCTI Effective Time and in consultation with Technip, make such equitable adjustments, if any, to the applicable performance goals or conditions relating to such Unvested FMCTI Stock Awards, as the FMCTI Board (or such committee, as applicable) may determine to be necessary or appropriate as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, which equitable adjustments shall take effect upon and be subject to the consummation of the Mergers; provided, that (A) any such adjustments that would reasonably be expected to (I) result in material Taxes (including social charges) being imposed on the FMCTI Group, (II) accelerate delivery of unrestricted FMCTI Shares, if such acceleration would be prohibited by applicable Law or (III) adversely impact the ability of either of the counsel listed in Section 7.2(e) to render the opinion described in Section 7.2(e) at the expected Merger Effective Date, in each case, shall require the consent of Technip, and (B) all such adjustments will be made subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the FMCTI Stock Plan and the Unvested FMCTI Stock Awards.

(v) As soon as practicable after the FMCTI Effective Time, FMCTI or Topco, as applicable, shall deliver to the holders of FMCTI Equity Rights and FMCTI Stock Options (collectively the “FMCTI Stock Awards”) appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective FMCTI Stock Awards and stating that (A) Vested FMCTI Equity Rights and the agreements relating thereto have been settled in FMCTI Shares in the form of FMCTI-Book Entry Interests to be held by the Depository Trust Company and have been converted into the FMCTI Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.6 after giving effect to the FMCTI Merger and (B) Unvested FMCTI Stock Awards and the agreements relating thereto have been assumed by Topco and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required or permitted by Section 1.7(b) after giving effect to the FMCTI Merger and the terms of the FMCTI Stock Plan).

(vi) Prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, FMCTI shall take all necessary action for the treatment of FMCTI Stock Awards under this Section 1.7(b); provided that such actions shall expressly be conditioned upon the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall be of no effect if this Agreement is terminated. Topco shall be authorized to issue a number of Topco Shares at least equal to the number of Topco Shares that will be subject to Topco Stock Awards as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 1.7(b), by authorizing the issuance of such shares and taking any other appropriate corporate action, and if the parties agree in good faith that it is reasonably necessary for the purposes of assisting in the administration and settling of any Topco Stock Awards and any Topco equity incentive plan, the establishment and settlement of an employee benefit trust.

(c) At the Technip Effective Time and the FMCTI Effective Time, as applicable, if Topco determines that it desires to do so, Topco may assume any or all of the Technip Stock Plans or the FMCTI Stock Plan. If Topco elects to so assume any Technip Stock Plan or the FMCTI Stock Plan, then, under such Technip Stock Plan or the FMCTI Stock Plan, as applicable, Topco will be entitled to grant equity or equity-based incentive awards with respect to Topco Shares, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, using the share reserves of such Technip Stock Plan or FMCTI Stock Plan, as applicable, as of the Technip Effective Time or FMCTI Effective Time, as applicable (including any Topco Shares returned to such share reserves as a result of the termination or forfeiture of a Topco Stock Award that is issued or granted in substitution of a Technip Stock Award or FMCTI Stock Award pursuant to this Section 1.7), except that: (i) shares covered by such awards will be Topco Shares; (ii) all references in such Technip Stock Plan or FMCTI Stock Plan to a number of shares will be deemed amended to refer instead to that number of Topco Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) as adjusted pursuant to the application of the FMCTI Exchange Ratio or Technip Exchange Ratio, as applicable; and (iii) the Topco Board or a committee thereof will succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Technip Board or FMCTI Board or any applicable committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Technip Stock Plan or FMCTI Stock Plan, as applicable.

(d) As soon as practicable following the FMCTI Effective Time, Topco shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Topco Shares subject to the Topco Stock Awards held by individuals who are employees, consultants, directors or other service providers of Topco and its Subsidiaries immediately following the Merger Effective Date and, to the extent determined by Topco, any Benefit Plan that holds Topco Shares following the Merger Effective Date.

Section 1.8. Exchange of Technip Certificates and Technip Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Technip Shares shall be exchanged for Topco Shares (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.10) in accordance with this Agreement, the Cross-Border Merger Terms, the rules and procedures of any depositary or clearing agency through which such shares are held or traded and applicable Law.

(b) The holders of book-entry positions with depositary intermediaries participating in the Technip Depositary previously evidencing such Technip Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Technip Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to Technip and such Technip Shares as of the Technip Effective Time, except as otherwise provided by Law, subject, however, to Topco’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Technip Effective Time that may have been declared or made by Technip on such Technip Shares not in violation of the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of the MOU and which remain unpaid at the Technip Effective Time. Such book-entry positions previously representing Technip Shares shall be exchanged for book-entry positions representing whole Topco Shares issued as Technip Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5 (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.10). As of the Technip Effective Time, each Topco Share allotted as Technip Merger Consideration shall be entitled to the same rights, preferences and privileges as other Topco Shares to be issued in the FMCTI Merger, including dividend rights.

Section 1.9. Exchange of FMCTI Certificates and FMCTI Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Exchange Fund. Topco shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of FMCTI Shares (other than the Excluded FMCTI Shares), for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE I, a number of Topco Shares equal to the total number of Topco Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.6 (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver Topco Shares contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 1.6 out of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Certificates. As soon as practicable after the FMCTI Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) days after the FMCTI Effective Time), Topco shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, a holder of record of FMCTI Shares (other than the Excluded FMCTI Shares) represented by a certificate (each a “FMCTI Certificate”): (A) an appropriate and customary letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the FMCTI Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the FMCTI Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form as Topco, FMCTI and the Exchange Agent shall reasonably agree; and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the FMCTI Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the FMCTI Certificates as provided in Section 1.9(e)) in exchange for the FMCTI Merger Consideration. Upon delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal and surrender of a FMCTI Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the FMCTI Certificate as provided in Section 1.9(e)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, the holder of such FMCTI Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the FMCTI Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.10), and the FMCTI Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the FMCTI Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of FMCTI Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of FMCTI, the FMCTI Merger Consideration, upon due surrender of the FMCTI Certificate, may be issued to such transferee if the FMCTI Certificate formerly representing such FMCTI Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required by Topco to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not

applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each FMCTI Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the FMCTI Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the FMCTI Merger Consideration (to the extent not previously paid) (in each case, without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.10) as contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) FMCTI Book-Entry Interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of rights to an entry in the records of FMCTI or its transfer agent representing FMCTI Shares (the “FMCTI Book-Entry Interests”) shall be required to deliver a FMCTI Certificate or, in the case of holders of FMCTI Book-Entry Interests held through The Depositary Trust Company, an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the FMCTI Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this ARTICLE I. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more FMCTI Book-Entry Interests held through The Depositary Trust Company whose FMCTI Shares were converted into the right to receive the FMCTI Merger Consideration shall automatically upon the FMCTI Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Topco shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the FMCTI Effective Time, in respect of each such FMCTI Book-Entry Interest the FMCTI Merger Consideration (in each case, without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.10), and such FMCTI Book-Entry Interests of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled. As soon as practicable after the FMCTI Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) days after the FMCTI Effective Time), Topco shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, a holder of record of FMCTI Book-Entry Interests not held through The Depositary Trust Company: (A) an appropriate and customary letter of transmittal, which shall be in such form as Topco and the Exchange Agent shall reasonably agree; and (B) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for the FMCTI Merger Consideration. Upon delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal the holder of such FMCTI Book-Entry Interests shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the FMCTI Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.10), and such FMCTI Book-Entry Interests so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of FMCTI Book-Entry Interests. The FMCTI Merger Consideration with respect to FMCTI Book-Entry Interests shall only be paid to the Person in whose name such FMCTI Book-Entry Interests are registered. Until paid or surrendered as contemplated hereby, each FMCTI Book-Entry Interest shall be deemed at any time after the FMCTI Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the FMCTI Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the FMCTI Effective Time, the stock transfer books of FMCTI shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of FMCTI Shares on the records of FMCTI. From and after the FMCTI Effective Time, the holders of FMCTI Certificates and FMCTI Book-Entry Interests representing FMCTI Shares outstanding immediately prior to the FMCTI Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law, subject, however, to the FMCTI Merger Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the FMCTI Effective Time that may have been declared or made by FMCTI on such FMCTI Shares not in violation of the

terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of the MOU and which remain unpaid at the FMCTI Effective Time. If, after the FMCTI Effective Time, FMCTI Certificates representing FMCTI Shares are presented to Topco for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the FMCTI Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following one (1) year after the Merger Effective Date, Topco shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it, or its nominee, any Topco Shares remaining in the Exchange Fund made available to the Exchange Agent and not delivered to holders of FMCTI Certificates or FMCTI Book-Entry Interests, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Topco (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the FMCTI Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their FMCTI Certificates or FMCTI Book-Entry Interests and compliance with the procedures in Section 1.9. If, prior to six (6) years after the Merger Effective Date (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of FMCTI Certificates or FMCTI Book-Entry Interests has not complied with the procedures in Section 1.9 to receive the FMCTI Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the FMCTI Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled in respect of such FMCTI Certificates or FMCTI Book-Entry Interests shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Topco, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Topco, Technip, FMCTI, U.S. Merger Sub, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any holder of a FMCTI Certificate or FMCTI Book-Entry Interests for FMCTI Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any FMCTI Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed FMCTI Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the FMCTI Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.6 hereof (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.10); provided, however, that Topco or the Exchange Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the FMCTI Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed FMCTI Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Topco or the Exchange Agent with respect to the FMCTI Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Topco Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the FMCTI Effective Time with respect to Topco Shares with a record date after the FMCTI Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered FMCTI Certificate or FMCTI Book-Entry Interest with respect to Topco Shares represented thereby, unless and until the holder of such FMCTI Certificate or FMCTI Book-Entry Interest shall surrender such FMCTI Certificate or FMCTI Book-Entry Interest. Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such FMCTI Certificate, there shall be paid by Topco to the holder of the certificates representing Topco

Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the FMCTI Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Topco Shares and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the FMCTI Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such Topco Shares.

Section 1.10. Withholding. Each of FMCTI, Technip, Topco, the FMCTI Merger Surviving Corporation, any of their respective affiliates and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or non-United States Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by FMCTI, Technip, Topco, the FMCTI Merger Surviving Corporation, any of their respective affiliates or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 1.11. Merger Consideration Adjustment. In the event that between the date of the MOU and the FMCTI Effective Time, the outstanding Technip Shares or FMCTI Shares or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Technip Shares or FMCTI Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein (including any exchange ratio) which is based upon the number of Technip Shares or FMCTI Shares, as the case may be, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the stockholders of both Technip and FMCTI the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(c) From and after the date of the MOU, FMCTI or Technip, as applicable, shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours), notify the other party in writing in the event that it, one of its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives receives (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for non-public information relating to such party or any of its Subsidiaries, other than requests for information in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice and unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal. FMCTI or Technip, as applicable, shall notify the other party in writing promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of the identity of such Person and provide an unredacted copy of such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request (or, where no such copy is available, a

reasonably detailed description of such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request) including any debt financing materials related thereto, if any. Subject to applicable Law, FMCTI or Technip, as applicable, shall keep the other party reasonably informed on a current basis of the status of any Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request, and any material developments, discussions and negotiations related thereto. FMCTI and Technip shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives not to, enter into any Contract that would prohibit FMCTI or Technip, as applicable, from providing the information required by Section 5.2(c).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the earlier of (i)(x) in the case of FMCTI, receipt by FMCTI of the FMCTI Requisite Vote and (y) in the case of Technip, receipt by Technip of the Technip Requisite Vote, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the FMCTI Board shall be entitled to effect a Change in FMCTI Recommendation and the Technip Board shall be entitled to effect a Change in Technip Recommendation, in each case, (A) if such party receives a Superior Proposal (after having complied with, and giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by the other party pursuant to, Section 5.2(e) or (f), as applicable) or (B) in response to an Intervening Event (after having complied with, and giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by the other party pursuant to, Section 5.2(e) or (f), as applicable); provided, however, that, in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the FMCTI Board shall be entitled to effect a Change in FMCTI Recommendation or the Technip Board shall be entitled to effect a Change in Technip Recommendation, in each case, only to the extent such Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such a Change in FMCTI Recommendation or Change in Technip Recommendation, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) The FMCTI Board shall not be entitled to effect a Change in FMCTI Recommendation unless (i) FMCTI has not breached this Section 5.2(e) in any material respect, (ii) FMCTI has provided Technip with a written notice (the “FMCTI Change in Recommendation Notice”) that FMCTI intends to take such action, which notice includes, as applicable, (x) an unredacted copy of the Superior Proposal that is the basis of such action (including the identity of the third party making the Superior Proposal and any debt financing materials related thereto, if any) and written notice of the material terms of the Superior Proposal which enabled the FMCTI Board to make the determination that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, or (y) a reasonably detailed summary of the Intervening Event that is the basis of such action, (iii) during the five (5) Business Day period following Technip’s receipt of the FMCTI Change in Recommendation Notice, FMCTI shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Technip in good faith (to the extent Technip desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or, with respect to an Intervening Event, as would permit the FMCTI Board (consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) to not make a Change in FMCTI Recommendation; and (iv) following the end of the five (5) Business Day period, the FMCTI Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Technip in response to the FMCTI Change in Recommendation Notice or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the FMCTI Change in Recommendation Notice continues to constitute a

Superior Proposal or, as applicable, with respect to the Intervening Event, that its fiduciary duties under applicable Law continue to require it to make such a Change in FMCTI Recommendation. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal or any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to an Intervening Event, as applicable, shall require a new FMCTI Change in Recommendation Notice and FMCTI shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.2(e).

(f) The Technip Board shall not be entitled to effect a Change in Technip Recommendation unless (i) Technip has not breached this Section 5.2(f) in any material respect, (ii) Technip has provided FMCTI with a written notice (the “Technip Change in Recommendation Notice”) that Technip intends to take such action, which notice includes, as applicable, (x) an unredacted copy of the Superior Proposal that is the basis of such action (including the identity of the third party making the Superior Proposal and any debt financing materials related thereto, if any) and written notice of the material terms of the Superior Proposal which enabled the Technip Board to make the determination that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, or (y) a reasonably detailed summary of the Intervening Event that is the basis of such action, (iii) during the five (5) Business Day period following FMCTI’s receipt of the Technip Change in Recommendation Notice, Technip shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with FMCTI in good faith (to the extent FMCTI desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or, with respect to an Intervening Event, as would permit the Technip Board (consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) to not make a Change in Technip Recommendation; and (iv) following the end of the five (5) Business Day period, the Technip Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by FMCTI in response to the Technip Change in Recommendation Notice or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Technip Change in Recommendation Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal or, as applicable, with respect to the Intervening Event, that its fiduciary duties under applicable Law continue to require it to make such a Technip Change in Recommendation. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal or any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to an Intervening Event, as applicable, shall require a new Technip Change in Recommendation Notice and Technip shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.2(f).

(g) Any violation of the restrictions by any Subsidiaries of FMCTI or Technip or either party’s respective Representatives or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives provided in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.2 by FMCTI or Technip, as applicable; provided that in no event shall any such breach by a party’s or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives (other than its officers, directors or employees) be deemed in and of itself to constitute a willful and material breach by such party.

(h) Each of FMCTI and Technip agrees that it will, and will cause its Representatives and its Subsidiaries and such Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations existing as of the date of the MOU with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal), and request that any such Person promptly

return and destroy (and confirm destruction of) all non-public information. Each of FMCTI and Technip agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform its Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 5.2. Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall (x) permit FMCTI or Technip to terminate this Agreement (except as specifically provided in Article VII hereof), or (y) affect any other obligation of FMCTI or Technip under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Unless this Agreement shall have been earlier terminated, neither FMCTI nor Technip shall submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal (other than the Mergers).

(a)

(i) As promptly as practicable after the date of the MOU, the parties shall prepare or cause to be prepared the Cross-Border Merger Terms for the approval by the Technip Board and the Topco Board in accordance with English Law and French Law, as applicable.

To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Cross-Border Merger Terms, the Cross-Border Merger Terms shall be amended or modified so as to conform to this Agreement, subject to mandatory provisions of English Law and French Law, and any other applicable EEA law, as applicable.

(ii) As promptly as practicable following the finalization of the Cross-Border Merger Terms, and in accordance with all applicable Law, the Technip Board and the Topco Board, as well as the sole stockholder of Topco, shall approve the Cross-Border Merger Terms and the transactions contemplated thereby. Contemporaneously with the filing and publishing of the Information Document pursuant to Section 5.3(b), the parties shall (A) publish the relevant information (i.e., as required by Article R. 236-15 of the French Code de Commerce) concerning the Cross-Border Merger Terms (or their translation into French language) in a Paris Gazette (journal habilité à recevoir des annonces légales), the Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales and the Bulletin d’annonces légales obligatoires in France, and cause the Cross-Border Merger Terms to be filed with the Clerk of the Commercial Court of Paris (greffe du Tribunal de Commerce de Paris) and (B) apply to the English Court for an order convening a meeting of the stockholders of Topco in accordance with Regulation 11 of the UK Merger Regulations to approve the Cross-Border Merger Terms (the “Topco Stockholders’ Meeting”) and file with the Registrar in compliance with Regulation 12 of the UK Merger Regulations a copy of such court order and the Cross-Border Merger Terms, together with, if required, a report from the directors of Topco compliant with Regulation 8 of the UK Merger Regulations, which report shall have been approved and adopted by the Topco board of directors in accordance with English Law, and the Technip

Following the Merger Terms Publication, Technip or Topco, as applicable, shall promptly notify FMCTI or Technip, as applicable, upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened opposition rights proceeding initiated by any creditors or holders of bonds (obligations), whether or not redeemable or convertible, or warrants (collectively, “Creditors”) of Technip or Topco pursuant to French Law or English Law (whether during the one-month period following the Merger Terms Publication or otherwise). Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of such opposition rights proceeding. With respect to any such opposition rights proceeding, Section 5.7 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the date of the MOU, the parties shall prepare and Topco shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement”) to register the offer and sale of Topco Shares pursuant to the Mergers, as applicable, Topco Shares underlying the Topco Stock Awards and, if applicable, Topco Shares to be issued in case of conversion of the Technip OCÉANEs. The Registration Statement will include a proxy statement/prospectus (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) to be used for the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting to approve and adopt this Agreement and the FMCTI Merger (as well as the issuance of Topco Shares in the Mergers). Technip and FMCTI each shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable following such filing (including by responding to comments of the SEC), and shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement any applicable United States, English, French, foreign or state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of Topco Shares pursuant to the Mergers. After the execution of this Agreement and as promptly as reasonably practicable in accordance with applicable Law: (x) Technip and FMCTI shall prepare and Technip shall file and publish as may be required by the AMF and in accordance with applicable French Law and present to the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting, an information document (document d’information) relating to the Technip Merger, which shall include a report of the Technip Board, compliant with French Law, describing the Technip Recommendation and include the Technip Expert Report (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the “Information Document”); (y) the parties shall prepare and Topco shall file with the NYSE a listing application (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “NYSE Listing Application”) for the listing of Topco Shares, including Topco Shares underlying Topco Stock Awards and Topco Shares to be issued in case of conversion of the Technip OCÉANEs, on the NYSE; and (z) FMCTI and Technip shall prepare, and Topco shall seek approval of and submit, for the purpose of admission of Topco Shares, including Topco Shares underlying Topco Stock Awards and Topco Shares to be issued in case of conversion of the Technip OCÉANEs, to listing on the regulated market of Euronext Paris and, if required by applicable Law, any offer of securities in any member state of the EEA, (i) a listing (and, if applicable, offering) prospectus (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Admission Prospectus”)

to the Competent Regulator in accordance with applicable Law, (ii) an application to the Competent Regulator for notification of the Admission Prospectus and “passport” procedure of the Admission Prospectus to applicable jurisdictions within the EEA, and (iii) an application to Euronext Paris for admission to listing on the regulated market of Euronext Paris (the applications referenced in clauses (ii) and (iii), together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively the “EU Listing Applications”). Each party and its Subsidiaries shall prepare and furnish all information (including any financial statements required by and prepared and audited (if applicable) in accordance with applicable Law) concerning itself as may reasonably be requested in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Information Document, the NYSE Listing Application, the Admission Prospectus and the EU Listing Applications, provided that no party shall use any such information for any other purpose without the prior written consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or if doing so would violate or cause a violation of United States, English, French or other applicable securities Laws. Each of FMCTI and Technip authorizes Topco to utilize in the Registration Statement, the Information Document, the Admission Prospectus and in all such filed materials the information concerning FMCTI and its Subsidiaries and Technip and its Subsidiaries furnished by each of FMCTI and Technip, respectively. Each party shall provide the other parties with a reasonable opportunity to review the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Information Document, Admission Prospectus, NYSE Listing Application and EU Listing Application, and any amendment or supplement thereto (which comments shall be reasonably considered by the party making such filing) prior to their filing. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, such document shall be made by Topco, Technip or FMCTI, without the prior consent of Technip and FMCTI, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Topco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the Admission Prospectus by the Competent Regulator as promptly as reasonably practicable and to procure that the Competent Regulator provides, to the extent required under applicable Law, to any relevant competent authorities a certificate of approval and other documentation required under the EU Prospectus Directive (Directive 2003/71/EC), as amended, for the Admission Prospectus to be, to the extent required under applicable Law, “passported” into any relevant member states of the European Union. Subject to applicable Law, the parties agree that the information relating to the parties and their respective businesses included in the Registration Statement, the Information Document, the NYSE Listing Application, the Admission Prospectus and the EU Listing Applications shall be identical in terms of content to the greatest extent practicable and necessary. The parties agree to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement, the Information Document, the NYSE Listing Application, the Admission Prospectus and the EU Listing Applications if and to the extent that such information shall have become incorrect or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Topco shall promptly advise Technip of the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification of Topco Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and each of the parties shall, subject to Section 5.5, use its commercially reasonable efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. The parties shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff, the Competent Regulator or their employees, or any comments from any other Governmental Entity and of any request by the

SEC or its staff, the Competent Regulator or their employees or any request by any other Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Information Document, Admission Prospectus, NYSE Listing Application or EU Listing Application, or for additional information, and will supply each other with copies of all correspondence between any FMCTI, Technip or Topco, as applicable, or any of their respective Representatives, and the SEC or its staff, the Competent Regulator or their employees, or any other Governmental Entity with respect to the foregoing documents and applications, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The parties acknowledge and agree that the directors of Topco, and each person who has agreed to become a director of Topco, will be required to take responsibility for the Admission Prospectus in accordance with, and solely to the extent required by, applicable Law.

(c) Each of the parties shall also take any other action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act, any applicable French, English or other non-United States securities Laws or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the issuance and listing of Topco Shares.

(d) FMCTI will take, in accordance with applicable Law, the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE and the FMCTI Organizational Documents, all action necessary to convene a meeting of its stockholders (the “FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the later of (x) the expiration of any Creditor rights opposition period following the Merger Terms Publication under French Law or English Law and (y) the date the Registration Statement is declared effective. Unless a Change in FMCTI Recommendation has been made in accordance with by this Agreement, the FMCTI Board shall make the FMCTI Recommendation and include the FMCTI Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. FMCTI shall, unless a Change in FMCTI Recommendation has been made in accordance with this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure FMCTI’s stockholders’ approval thereof. In the event that on or subsequent to the date of the MOU and prior to the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment thereof), the FMCTI Board determines either to make no recommendation for the FMCTI Merger, or to withdraw, modify or qualify its recommendation for the FMCTI Merger in a manner that is adverse to Technip (including by failing (A) to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal (or any material modification thereto) within ten (10) Business Days after commencement of such offer (or such material modification) or (B) to promptly confirm the FMCTI Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after a written request by Technip) (such determination not to make a recommendation or any such withdrawal, modification or qualification, a “Change in FMCTI Recommendation”), which Change in FMCTI Recommendation shall be made only in accordance with Section 5.2(d), then Technip shall have a right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4(a). Any Change in FMCTI Recommendation shall not limit or modify the obligation of FMCTI to present this Agreement for adoption at the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.3(d), and, if this Agreement is not otherwise terminated by either FMCTI or Technip in accordance with the terms hereof, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be submitted to the stockholders of FMCTI at the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the FMCTI Requisite Vote.

(e) Technip will take, in accordance with applicable Law, the applicable rules and regulations of the AMF and Euronext Paris and the Technip Organizational Documents, all action necessary to convene a special general meeting of its stockholders entitled to double voting rights (the “Technip Special Stockholders’ Meeting”) and an extraordinary general meeting of its stockholders (the “Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting” and together with the Technip Special Stockholders’ Meeting, the “Technip Stockholders’ Meetings”) as promptly as practicable after the later of (x) the expiration of any Creditor rights opposition period following the Merger Terms Publication under French Law or English Law and (y) the date the Registration Statement is declared effective. Unless a Change in Technip Recommendation has been made in accordance with this Agreement, the Technip Board shall make the Technip Recommendation and include the Technip Recommendation in the Information Document. Technip shall, unless a Change in Technip Recommendation has been made in accordance with this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure Technip’s stockholders’ approval thereof. In the event that on or subsequent to the date of the MOU and prior to the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment thereof), the Technip Board determines either to make no recommendation for the Technip Merger, or to withdraw, modify or qualify its recommendation for the Technip Merger in a manner that is adverse to FMCTI (including by failing (A) to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal within ten (10) Business Days after the “déclaration de conformité” of the AMF in respect of such offer or (B) to promptly confirm the Technip Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after a written request by FMCTI) (such determination not to make a recommendation or any such withdrawal, modification or qualification, a “Change in Technip Recommendation”), which Change in Technip Recommendation shall be made only in accordance with Section 5.3(e), then FMCTI shall have a right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(a). Any Change in Technip Recommendation shall not limit or modify the obligation of Technip to present the removal of the double voting rights for approval at the Technip Special Stockholders’ Meeting and the Technip Merger for approval at the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.3(e), and, if this Agreement is not otherwise terminated by either FMCTI or Technip in accordance with the terms hereof, the removal of the double voting rights shall be submitted to the stockholders of Technip entitled to double voting rights at the Technip Special Stockholders’ Meeting and the Cross-Border Merger Terms and the transactions contemplated thereby and by this Agreement shall be submitted to the stockholders of Technip at the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting, for the purpose of obtaining the Technip Requisite Vote. In furtherance and without limitation of the foregoing, Technip shall not terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any Shareholder Letter without FMCTI’s prior written consent.

(f) FMCTI and Technip shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting and the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting to be held on the same date. Technip shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Technip Special Stockholders’ Meeting to be held prior to and on the same date as the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) after the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting has been convened, FMCTI shall, upon the request of Technip (and FMCTI may, if Technip does not make such request) adjourn the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting on one or more occasions to the extent necessary to achieve the required quorum and solicit additional proxies in order to obtain the FMCTI Requisite Vote, for such time period as determined by Technip (or, if Technip does not make such request, as determined by FMCTI), (ii) after the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting has been convened, the Technip Board shall, upon the request of FMCTI (and Technip may, if FMCTI does not make such request) adjourn the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting on one or more occasions to the extent necessary to achieve the required quorum and solicit additional proxies in order to obtain the Technip Requisite Vote, for such time period as determined by FMCTI (or, if FMCTI does not make such request, as determined by Technip) and (iii) if FMCTI adjourns the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with clause (i) or Technip adjourns the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with clause (ii), Technip and FMCTI, respectively, may adjourn the Technip Stockholders’ Meetings and the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting to the date to which the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting or Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting has been adjourned; provided, however that, in each case, (x) such adjournment shall not exceed fifteen days for each such adjournment, (y) the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting or the Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting, as applicable, shall not be adjourned without the written approval of both FMCTI and Technip by more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate from the date on which the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting or Technip Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting, as applicable, was originally convened and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in clause (iii) above, no such adjournment shall be permitted if FMCTI or Technip, as applicable, shall have received at the applicable Stockholders’ Meeting an aggregate number of proxies necessary to obtain the FMCTI Requisite Vote or the Technip Requisite Vote, as applicable, which have not been withdrawn, such that the condition in Section 6.1(a) would be satisfied (with respect to FMCTI or Technip, as applicable) if a vote were taken at the applicable Stockholders’ Meeting.

Section 5.4. Expert Report and Pre-Merger Certificates.

(a) Report on Technip Merger Consideration.

in the event that the Accounting Firm provides, or indicates an intention to provide, an unfavorable report, work in good faith with the Accounting Firm to seek to address the auditors’ concerns with a view to obtaining a favorable report for a period of at least thirty (30) days unless the Accounting Firm has advised the parties finally that it will be unable to provide a favorable report.

(b) Pre-Merger Certificates. Technip and Topco shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to satisfy the pre-merger requirements as set out in the UK Merger Regulations (including the requirements as further specified in Section 5.3) and French Merger Regulations (including the requirements as further specified in Section 5.3 and the filing of a pre-merger conformity statement (déclaration de conformité des actes et des formalités préalables à une fusion transfrontalière) with the Registrar of Companies in Paris (Registre du commerce et des sociétés du tribunal de commerce de Paris) as promptly as practicable following the Merger Terms Publication in France) and to obtain, and to take such action as is necessary to obtain (i) from the Clerk of the Paris Commercial Court (greffe du Tribunal de Commerce de Paris), a “pre-merger” certificate (such certificate being the attestation de conformité pursuant to Articles L. 236-29 and R. 236-17 of the French Code de Commerce) attesting to the proper completion of the pre-merger acts and formalities under French Law, and (ii) an order from the English Court attesting to the proper completion of the pre-merger acts and formalities under English Law in accordance with Regulation 6 of the UK Merger Regulations (together, the “Pre-Merger Certificates”).

Among other things, in connection with obtaining any Consent from a Governmental Entity that is necessary to be obtained in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the foregoing shall, subject to the following sentence, require the parties to agree to sell or hold separate and agree to sell, or take any other action (including agreeing and consenting to (x) restrictions on, or impairment of, its ability to own, manage, operate, or otherwise exercise full ownership rights of, any assets or businesses, or interests in any assets or businesses and (y) the creation, termination or amendment of relationships, contractual rights, obligations, ventures or other arrangements) with respect to, before or after the FMCTI Effective Time, any assets or businesses, or interests in any assets or businesses, of Topco, FMCTI, Technip or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable (or agreeing to consent to any such sale, or agreement to sell, by Topco, FMCTI, Technip or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable and as the case may be, of any of its assets or businesses). However, no party shall, in connection with the obligations imposed by this Section 5.5(a), (x) be required to take any action if such action (I) would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on FMCTI or Technip or (II) is not conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers or (y) take any action without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed if doing so would be inconsistent with such party’s obligations under this Section 5.5(a)). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree to make, or cause to be made, the commitments set forth in Section 5.5(a) of the FMCTI Disclosure Letter and Technip Disclosure Letter (for the avoidance of doubt, including in connection with obtaining the MINEFI Clearance).

(b) Prior Review of Certain Information. Subject to applicable Law and other than with respect to the CFIUS Clearance (which is covered in Section 5.19) and the MINEFI Clearance (which is covered in Section 5.20), FMCTI and Technip shall provide the other party and/or its counsel with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with all submissions, filings or communications (and the documents submitted therewith) intended to be submitted to, any Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization, in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees not to participate independently in any meeting with any Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization in connection with the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall provide the other party with reasonable advance notice of the meeting and the opportunity to participate in any meeting unless prohibited by applicable Law or the Governmental Entity or Self-Regulatory Organization, as applicable. Subject to applicable Law, FMCTI and Technip shall keep each other apprised of all correspondence and discussions with any Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

of all notices or other communications received or provided by FMCTI or Technip, as the case may be, from or to any Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization, and will furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, submission, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Person and/or any Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Status Updates and Notice. Subject to applicable Law and other than with respect to the CFIUS Clearance (which is covered in Section 5.19) and the MINEFI Clearance (which is covered in Section 5.20), FMCTI and Technip each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with (i) written notice of the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would reasonably be expected to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Mergers not to be satisfied; (ii) written notice of the breach by a party of, or any other failure of a party to comply with or satisfy any, representation, warranty, covenant, condition or agreement made, or to be complied with or satisfied, by it pursuant to this Agreement which would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Mergers not to be satisfied (provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice); and (iii) copies of notices or other communications received by FMCTI or Technip, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any Person and/or any Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization, with respect to such transactions; provided that a good-faith failure to comply with the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) shall itself not constitute a material breach or failure of a condition unless the underlying change or event shall also constitute a material breach or failure. FMCTI and Technip shall regularly review with each other the progress of any filings, investigation or other inquiry by a Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization, and discuss with each other the scope, timing and tactics of any such actions in relation thereto with a view to obtaining approval or Consent from (or expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period with regard to or any investigation by) the applicable Governmental Entity or Self-Regulatory Organization at the earliest reasonable opportunity.

(e) Treatment of Sensitive/Privileged Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for any information exchanged under this Section 5.5, it is understood that FMCTI and Technip may, as each deems necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other party under this Section 5.5 or any subsection thereof as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (FMCTI or Technip, as the case may be) or its legal counsel; provided, further, that materials provided to the other party pursuant to this Section 5.5 or any subsection thereof may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns. The parties agree to take information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 5.5 in a manner so as to preserve the applicable privilege.

Section 5.6. Access. From the date of the MOU to the consummation of the FMCTI Merger, the parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries, and shall direct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, accountants, consultants (including any investment banker or financial advisor) and other authorized agents, intermediaries, or third party representatives that act or perform services for or on behalf of such Party (“Representatives”) to: (a) provide to each other and their respective Representatives, upon prior written notice, reasonable access, during normal business hours in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the operation of any business conducted by it, to its officers, employees, properties, offices, other facilities and books and records; and (b) furnish promptly such information concerning its business, properties, contracts, assets and liabilities as the parties or their respective Representatives may reasonably request; provided, however, that each party shall not be required to (or to cause any of their respective Subsidiaries or Representatives to) afford such access or furnish such information (i) to the extent that it reasonably believes in good faith that doing so would: (A) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; (B) violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality to any third party or otherwise breach, contravene or violate any then effective Contract to which it is party; or (C) breach, contravene, violate or result in liability under any applicable Law (including any antitrust or competition Law) (it being agreed that the parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the scope of or eliminate the applicable restriction) or (ii) if FMCTI or Topco or any of their affiliates, on the one hand, and Technip or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in any legal proceeding or action, to the extent that is reasonably pertinent to such proceeding or action; provided, further that neither party nor any of its Representatives shall be permitted to conduct intrusive environmental investigations, including of the air, water, soil, sediments, building materials or other environmental media of or at properties, offices or facilities of the other party, without the prior written consent of the other party.

Thereafter through the consummation of the FMCTI Merger, none of the parties hereto shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consultation and consent of the other parties hereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with the NYSE or Euronext Paris, as applicable, or by any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over such party, in which case the party required to make such publication or announcement shall consult in advance with the other parties hereto to the extent reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.8 do not apply to any announcement, document or publication in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, Superior Proposal, Intervening Event, FMCTI Change of Recommendation or Technip Change of Recommendation, or litigation or arbitration among the parties with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable.

(b) If either party is, or should reasonably become, aware of any fact or circumstance that such party may reasonably expect would cause the representation in Section 4.11(i) to be untrue at the Merger Effective Date, then such party shall promptly notify the other parties.

In addition, between the date of the MOU and the Merger Effective Date, each of FMCTI and Technip shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to develop a mutually agreed global financing structure for Topco and its Subsidiaries from and after the Merger Effective Date, and to reasonably cooperate in connection with the arrangement of such financing.

Section 5.18. Employment Matters.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, FMCTI and Technip shall appoint a cooperative compensation integration committee comprised of an equal number of representatives from each of FMCTI and Technip (the “Compensation Integration Committee”) to develop a compensation and benefits framework for management of Topco and its Subsidiaries (the “Compensation Integration Program”), which shall be determined by the Compensation Integration Committee and approved by the compensation committee of the Topco Board, provided that the Compensation Integration Program shall be (i) developed in accordance with, and subject to, applicable Law and any applicable Labor Agreements or any existing contractual obligations or rights and (ii) subject in all respects to any employee representative bodies, works council or other legally required notification or consultation rights.

(b) As part of the Compensation Integration Program, the Compensation Integration Committee shall develop, and the Topco Board (or a committee thereof) shall adopt, an equity incentive plan for the benefit of Service Providers of Topco, the Technip Group and the FMCTI Group from and after the Merger Effective Date. As soon as practicable following the Merger Effective Date, Topco shall (i) file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms) with the SEC with respect to the Topco Shares reserved under such equity incentive plan and (ii) grant Topco Stock Awards to Technip employees with (A) an aggregate value and (B) terms and conditions, in each case, that are no less favorable than the aggregate value and terms and conditions applicable to the 2017 FMCTI Awards (as defined in Section 5.1(d) of the FMCTI Disclosure Letter) (the “2017 Technip Awards”), as applicable (it being understood that in connection with the grant of the 2017 Technip Awards, the Topco Board (or an applicable committee thereof) shall undertake to allocate the value of the 2017 Technip Awards among Technip employees in a manner that is consistent with the treatment of similarly situated FMCTI employees who received 2017 FMCTI Awards, taking into account each such employee’s respective aggregate compensation package).

(c) From and after the Technip Effective Time, Topco shall honor, or cause to be honored, all obligations or commitments set forth on Section 5.18(c) of the Technip Disclosure Letter. Subject to the Compensation Integration Program, from and after the FMCTI Effective Time or the Technip Effective Time, Topco shall honor, or cause to be honored, all contractual obligations under Benefit Plans and Labor Agreements. For all purposes under the employee benefit plans of Topco and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any current or former employee of FMCTI or Technip or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the FMCTI Effective Time or the Technip Effective Time, as applicable, (the “New Plans”), and subject to applicable Law and obligations under applicable Labor Agreements, each such employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with FMCTI or Technip or any of their respective Subsidiaries (or any predecessor employers of any such entity), as the case may be, before the FMCTI Effective Time or the Technip Effective Time, as applicable, to the same extent as such employee was entitled, before the FMCTI Effective Time or the Technip Effective Time, as applicable, to credit for such service under any comparable FMCTI Benefit Plan or Technip Benefit Plan, as applicable, except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to applicable Law and obligations under applicable Labor Agreements: (i) each employee of FMCTI or Technip or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be immediately eligible to

participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans which are welfare benefit plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable FMCTI Benefit Plan or Technip Benefit Plan, as applicable, in which such employee participated immediately before the FMCTI Effective Time or the Technip Effective Time, as applicable (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan that is a welfare benefit plan (including those providing for medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits), Topco shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability and other similar limitations or requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee (and his or her eligible dependents), and to the extent that an Old Plan is terminated and an employee becomes covered by a New Plan prior to the completion of the plan year for the Old Plan, then Topco shall recognize and cause any eligible co-payments, deductibles and other similar expenses incurred by such employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, maximum out-of-pocket requirements and similar limitations applicable to such employee (and his or her eligible dependents) for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d) Technip and FMCTI, if applicable, shall comply with their respective obligations to notify and consult with the relevant employee representative bodies, works councils, unions, labor boards and relevant Governmental Entities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as the case may be, in accordance with applicable Law to the extent such notifications and consultations have not occurred pursuant to the MOU, which such notifications and consultations shall be conducted in accordance with Sections 1(b)-1(e) of the MOU, mutatis mutandis. The parties agree to work together in good faith to further inform and/or consult with, or obtain the consent or formal advice of, any labor or trade union, works council or other employee representative body as may be required or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) At least ten Business Days prior to the Technip Effective Time, the parties shall disclose to each other their good-faith estimates of any payment (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) to any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) of such party that would, individually or in combination with any other such payment, reasonably be expected to constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code) as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either alone or in combination with another event.

(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.9, this Section 5.18 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.18, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.18. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is or shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any Benefit Plan, Labor Agreement or any other employee or director compensation or benefit plan. The terms set forth in this Section 5.18 shall not create any right in any FMCTI or Technip Service Provider or any employee of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to any continued employment with Topco, FMCTI, Technip or their respective Subsidiaries or any right to compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

Section 5.19. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

(a) Each of the parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Law to obtain the CFIUS Clearance as promptly as practicable.

(b) Without limiting the obligations imposed by Section 5.19(a):

(ii) Each of FMCTI and Technip shall (A) permit counsel for the other reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to CFIUS or any of its member agencies, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity; and (B) not participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with CFIUS or any of its member agencies in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without consulting with the other in advance and, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, giving the other the opportunity to attend and participate; and

(iii) Each of FMCTI and Technip shall provide CFIUS with any additional or supplemental information requested by CFIUS or its member agencies during the CFIUS review process as promptly as practicable, and in all cases within the amount of time allowed by CFIUS.

(c) In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the obligations imposed by Section 5.19(a), each of FMCTI and Technip shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are customarily undertaken to obtain CFIUS Clearance so as to enable the Closing, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by mitigation agreement, letter of assurance, national security agreement, security control agreement, special security arrangement, voting trust agreement or proxy agreement, restrictions or actions that after the Closing would limit Topco’s (or any of its Subsidiaries) freedom of action, ownership, control, influence, management or access over Topco, its Subsidiaries or any portion thereof. Among other things, the foregoing shall, subject to the following sentence, require the parties to agree to sell or hold separate and agree to sell, or taking any other action (including agreeing and consenting to (i) restrictions on, or impairment of, its ability to own, manage, operate, or otherwise exercise full ownership rights of, any assets or businesses, or interests in any assets or businesses and (ii) the creation, termination or amendment of relationships, contractual rights, obligations, ventures or other arrangements) with respect to, before or after the FMCTI Effective Time, any assets or businesses, or interests in any assets or businesses, of Topco, FMCTI, Technip or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable (or agreeing to consent to any sale, or agreement to sell, by

Topco, FMCTI or Technip or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable and as the case may be, of any of its assets or businesses). However, no party shall, in connection with the obligations imposed by Section 5.19(a) or this Section 5.19(c), (A) be required to take any action if such action (x) would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on FMCTI or Technip or (y) is not conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers, or (B) take any action without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed if doing so would be inconsistent with such party’s obligations under Section 5.19(a) or this Section 5.19(c)).

Section 5.20. French Ministry for Economy, Industry and the Digital Sector.

(b) Without limiting the obligations imposed by Section 5.20(a):

(i) Each of FMCTI, Topco and Technip shall submit or cause to be submitted promptly after the date of the MOU but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the execution and delivery of the MOU, a joint notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to MINEFI;

(b) at any time prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, if (i)(A) FMCTI or Topco shall have failed to perform or comply with, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement prior to the FMCTI Effective Time, or (B) any of the representations or warranties of FMCTI contained herein fails to be true and correct (which failure would give rise to (or, if discovered prior to the Closing, would have given rise to) the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a)), and (ii) any such failure is not reasonably capable of being cured by FMCTI or Topco by the Termination Date or is not cured by FMCTI or Topco within forty-five (45) days (and in any event prior to the FMCTI Effective Time) after receiving written notice from Technip (including, for the avoidance of doubt, during the pendency of the MOU); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) may not be exercised by Technip if Technip is then in material breach of this Agreement.

Section 7.5. Effect of Termination and Abandonment.

(a) Effect of Termination and Abandonment. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VII, written notice thereof shall be given to the other parties to this Agreement specifying the provisions of this ARTICLE VII pursuant to which such termination is made and describing the basis therefore in reasonable detail, and this Agreement

(other than as set forth in this Section 7.5 and Section 8.1) shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party (or of any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, legal and financial advisors or other Representatives); provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided herein, no such termination shall relieve any party of any liability or damages resulting from any fraud or willful and material breach of this Agreement; provided, further, that the parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the withdrawal of any applications to or termination of proceedings before any Governmental Entity or any Self-Regulatory Organization in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Termination Fee Payable by FMCTI.

(i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Technip pursuant to Section 7.4(a) or is terminated by either FMCTI or Technip pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b)(i) (and, at the time of such termination pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b)(i), Technip had a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a)), then FMCTI shall, prior to or contemporaneously with such termination if FMCTI so terminates this Agreement or within two (2) Business Days after such termination if Technip so terminates this Agreement, pay or cause to be paid to Technip an amount equal to $250,000,000 as reduced by the amount of any Expense Reimbursement for Technip previously paid, if any, (the “FMCTI Termination Payment”) by wire transfer of same day funds.

(ii) In the event that (A) an Acquisition Proposal for FMCTI shall have been publicly announced or made publicly known (or any third party shall have publicly announced, publicly communicated or publicly made known a bona fide intention, whether or not conditional, to make a proposal with respect to an Acquisition Proposal for FMCTI) or (solely in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.4(b)) otherwise communicated or made known to FMCTI management or the FMCTI Board, in each case at any time after the announcement of the MOU, (B) this Agreement is subsequently terminated by FMCTI or Technip pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (solely as a result of a failure to obtain the FMCTI Requisite Vote), 7.2(b)(i) or 7.4(b), and (C) within nine (9) months of such termination pursuant to Section 7.2(a), 7.2(b)(i) or 7.4(b), FMCTI or any of its Subsidiaries executes an Alternative Acquisition Agreement providing for, or approves or recommends to the FMCTI stockholders to accept, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that, for purposes of this clause (C), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Annex I except that each reference to “fifteen percent (15%) or more” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “forty percent (40%) or more” and each reference to “less than eighty five percent (85%)” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “less than sixty percent (60%)”), then FMCTI shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the completion of such acquisition or transaction (or, if earlier, the entry into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement), pay or cause to be paid to Technip, by wire transfer of same day funds, the FMCTI Termination Payment.

(iii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated either (x) pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (but only if the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting has not been held by the Termination Date and the Technip Stockholders’ Meetings have been held) or (y) pursuant to Section 7.4(b) because of FMCTI’s or Topco’s breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this

Agreement, then, in either case, FMCTI shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Technip by way of reimbursement its reasonable costs, fees, and expenses incurred in connection with its investigation, consideration, documentation, diligence and negotiations of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all reasonable fees and expenses of Technip’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives and financing sources (the “Expense Reimbursement for Technip”).

(i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by FMCTI pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or is terminated by either FMCTI or Technip pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b)(ii) (and, at the time of such termination pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b)(ii), FMCTI had a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(a)), then Technip shall, prior to or contemporaneously with such termination if Technip so terminates this Agreement or within two (2) Business Days after such termination if FMCTI so terminates this Agreement, pay or cause to be paid to FMCTI an amount equal to $250,000,000 as reduced by the amount of any Expense Reimbursement for FMCTI previously paid, if any, (the “Technip Termination Payment”) by wire transfer of same day funds.

(ii) In the event that (A) an Acquisition Proposal for Technip shall have been publicly announced or made publicly known (or any third party shall have publicly announced, publicly communicated or publicly made known a bona fide intention, whether or not conditional, to make a proposal with respect to an Acquisition Proposal for Technip) or (solely in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.3(b)) otherwise communicated or made known to Technip management or the Technip Board, in each case at any time after the announcement of the MOU, (B) this Agreement is subsequently terminated by FMCTI or Technip pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (solely as a result of a failure to obtain the Technip Requisite Vote or a failure to obtain the MINEFI Clearance on terms that satisfy Section 6.1(j)), 7.2(b)(ii) or 7.3(b), and (C) within nine (9) months of such termination pursuant to Section 7.2(a), 7.2(b)(ii) or 7.3(b), Technip or any of its Subsidiaries executes an Alternative Acquisition Agreement providing for, or consummates, or approves or recommends to Technip stockholders to accept, any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that, for purposes of this clause (C), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Annex I except that each reference to “fifteen percent (15%) or more” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “forty percent (40%) or more” and each reference to “less than eighty five percent (85%)” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “less than sixty percent (60%)”), then Technip shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the completion of such acquisition or transaction (or, if earlier, the entry into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement), pay or cause to be paid to FMCTI, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Technip Termination Payment.

(iii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated either (x) pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (but only if the Technip Stockholders’ Meetings have not been held by the Termination Date and the FMCTI Stockholders’ Meeting has been held) or (y) pursuant to Section 7.3(b) because of Technip’s breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, then, in either case, Technip shall pay, or cause to be paid, to FMCTI and Topco by way of

reimbursement their reasonable costs, fees, and expenses incurred in connection with its investigation, consideration, documentation, diligence and negotiations of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all reasonable fees and expenses of FMCTI and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives and financing sources (the “Expense Reimbursement for FMCTI”).

(d) Nature of Termination Fee. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither the FMCTI Termination Payment nor the Technip Termination Payment is a penalty but rather, absent a willful and material breach of this Agreement, is a reasonable estimate of damages necessary to compensate and protect the interests of Technip or FMCTI, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which the FMCTI Termination Payment or the Technip Termination Payment, as applicable, is payable. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the amount of the FMCTI Termination Payment or the Technip Termination Payment, if and as applicable, is fair, after taking into account the value of the Technip Merger and FMCTI Merger, the other transactions contemplated hereby and all the costs and expenses already incurred by the parties before entering into this Agreement. In no event shall FMCTI, on the one hand, or Technip, on the other hand, be required to pay to the other party more than one FMCTI Termination Payment or one Technip Termination Payment, if and as applicable, pursuant to this Section 7.5.

(e) VAT Treatment of Termination Fee. The parties shall use reasonable best efforts to secure that any sum payable under Section 7.5(b) or 7.5(c) will not be subject to any tax imposed in compliance with the Council Directive of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (EC Directive 2006/112) and any other tax of a similar nature, whether imposed in a member state of the European Union in substitution for, or levied in addition to, such tax, or imposed elsewhere (“VAT”). FMCTI confirms that, as of the date of the MOU, it is established outside the European Union for VAT purposes.

(f) Remedy. Notwithstanding the obligation to pay the FMCTI Termination Payment or the Technip Termination Payment, as applicable, the party entitled to receive such payment may, in lieu of receipt thereof, elect to make a claim and pursue money damages for any liability or damages resulting from any fraud or willful and material breach by FMCTI or Technip, as applicable, of this Agreement (it being understood that any such election shall be deemed an irrevocable waiver of such party’s right to the FMCTI Termination Payment or the Technip Termination Payment, as applicable). Subject to the foregoing sentence, in the event that the FMCTI Termination Payment or the Technip Termination Payment, as applicable, is paid by FMCTI to Technip or Technip to FMCTI, respectively, in accordance with this Section 7.5, the payment thereof shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of FMCTI and Topco against Technip, on the one hand, or Technip against FMCTI and Topco, on the other, in each case, including for any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, fees, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), judgments, inquiries and fines suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement, and neither FMCTI and its affiliates, in the case of the FMCTI Termination Payment, or Technip and its affiliates, in the case of the Technip Termination Payment, or any of their respective former, current or future Representatives, agents, partners, managers, members, stockholders, assignees or affiliates shall have any further liability or obligations relating to or arising out of this Agreement.

(g) Interest. Each of FMCTI and Technip acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if either party fails to promptly pay or cause to be paid the amount due pursuant to this Section 7.5, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against such party for the payment set forth in this Section 7.5 or any portion of such payment, such party shall pay the other party its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the payment at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., in effect on the date such payment was required to be paid, from the date on which such payment was required through the date of actual payment.

This ARTICLE VIII and the agreements of FMCTI and Technip contained in Section 5.12(Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) and of Topco in Section 5.11(c) (United Kingdom Stamp Taxes) shall survive the consummation of the Mergers. This ARTICLE VIII, the agreements of FMCTI and Technip contained in Section 5.10 (Expenses), Section 7.5 (Effect of Termination and Abandonment) and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement for the maximum period permitted by Law. No representations or warranties, and no other covenants and agreements, in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Mergers; provided, that this Section 8.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the FMCTI Effective Time, which shall survive to the extent expressly provided for herein.

Section 8.2. Modification or Amendment. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors and pursuant to a written instrument executed and delivered by all of the parties, whether before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the FMCTI Merger by the FMCTI stockholders or the Technip Merger by the Technip stockholders; provided that, after any such approval, no amendment shall be made for which applicable Law or the rules of any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by such stockholders without such further approval.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

The mere inclusion of any item in the FMCTI Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty of FMCTI in this Agreement or the Technip Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty of Technip in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission that such item is a material exception, fact, event or circumstance, or that such item, individually or in the aggregate, has had or is reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on FMCTI, Technip or Topco, as applicable, or trigger any other materiality qualification.

Section 8.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto), the Cross-Border Merger Terms, the FMCTI Disclosure Letter, the Technip Disclosure Letter and the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated November 11, 2015, between FMCTI and Technip (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 8.9. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 5.12 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) which shall inure to the benefit of the Persons benefiting therefrom, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies hereunder. The parties agree that the rights of third-party beneficiaries under Section 5.12 shall not arise unless and until the Technip Effective Time occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties and are for the sole benefit of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties in accordance with Section 8.3 without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.9 shall survive the Merger Effective Date.

Section 8.10. Obligations of FMCTI and Technip. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Topco, FMCTI or Technip to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Topco, FMCTI or Technip, as appropriate, to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. FMCTI shall undertake to cause Topco to comply with its obligations under this Agreement during the period in which Topco is a Subsidiary of FMCTI.

Section 8.11. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability or the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.12. Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, Schedule or

Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of, Schedule to or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The term “knowledge of FMCTI” shall be deemed to mean the actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12 of the FMCTI Disclosure Letter. The term “knowledge of Technip” shall be deemed to mean the actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12 of the Technip Disclosure Letter. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa. All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to United States dollars. Any reference to a particular Law means such Law as amended, modified or supplemented (including all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and, unless otherwise provided, as in effect from time to time.

(b) For purposes of Section 1.7(c), the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and the covenants set forth in Section 5.1, all references to Euros (€) shall be deemed to include United States dollars ($), and vice versa, on the basis of the Exchange Rate.

(c) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.13. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified or referred to in Annex I.

Section 8.14. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any attempted or purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.15. Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (without necessity of posting bond or other security (any requirements therefor being expressly waived)) in accordance with Section 8.5(b), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. If, prior to the Termination Date, any party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by any other party, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by (a) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus 20 Business Days, or (b) such other time period established by the arbitrator(s) in accordance with Section 8.5(b).

(b) Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (i) it has an adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) In no event shall FMCTI’s, Topco’s, or Technip’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to this Section 8.15 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit any right of such party to terminate this Agreement and to be paid the FMCTI Termination Payment or Technip Termination Payment, as and if applicable; provided, that in no event shall FMCTI, Topco or Technip be entitled to both specific performance pursuant to this Section 8.15 and payment of the FMCTI Termination Payment or Technip Termination Payment, as applicable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of the parties as of the date first written above.
