TITLE III
MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY
Article 11 - BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The company is managed by a board of directors composed of a minimum of three members and a maximum of 18 members.
When the legal conditions are met, the Board also includes one director representing employee shareholders, appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting in accordance with the procedures laid down in regulations in force and these By-laws.
A legal entity must, at the time of its appointment, designate an individual who will be its permanent representative on the board of directors. The term of office of a permanent representative is the same as that of the director he represents. When a legal entity dismisses its permanent representative, it must at the same time provide for his replacement. The same applies in case of death or resignation of the permanent representative.
Each director must own at least one share during his term of office.
If, at the time of his appointment, a director does not own the required number of shares or if, during his term of office, he ceases to be the owner thereof, he shall have a period of three months to purchase such number of shares, in default of which he shall be automatically deemed to have resigned.
The directors are appointed for a term of three years. A year corresponds to the period of time between two successive annual ordinary general meetings of shareholders. The duties of a director shall terminate at the close of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders which acts on the accounts of the preceding fiscal year and is held in the year during which the term of office of said director comes to an end. However the term of office of the Director representing employee shareholders shall end forthwith, and he must be considered to have resigned automatically upon ceasing to be an employee of the Company or of a company affiliated to it as per article L.225-180 of the French Code of Commerce, or a shareholder.
The directors may always be re-elected; they may be removed at any time by decision of the general meeting of the shareholders.
In case of death or resignation of one or several directors, the board of directors may make provisional appointments between two meetings of shareholders.
The appointment(s) so made have to be ratified by the next general meeting of shareholders.
Should the meeting of the shareholders not ratify these provisional appointments, this shall not affect the validity of the prior resolutions and acts of the board of directors.
When the number of directors falls below the minimum required by law, the remaining director(s) must immediately convene the ordinary general meeting of the shareholders, in order to complete the membership of the board of directors.
The director appointed in replacement of another director whose term of office has not come to its end shall remain in office only for the remaining term of office of his predecessor.
A salaried employee of the company may be appointed as a director. His employment contract shall correspond to a position actually held. In such case, he shall not lose the benefit of his employment contract.
The number of directors bound to the company by an employment contract may not exceed one third of the directors in office.
- 6 -
The number of directors who are more than seventy-five (75) years old may not exceed one third of the directors in office. Should such quota be reached during an ongoing term of office, the appointment of the oldest director would be automatically terminated at the close of the following general meeting of the shareholders.
Candidates for appointment to the office of Director representing the employee shareholders are selected on the following basis:
When the voting rights linked to shares held by employees are exercised by members of the supervisory board of investment trusts, candidates are selected by such board among its members. Dans ce cas, le Président du conseil d'administration saisit préalablement à la réunion de l’assemblée générale, les conseils de surveillance des fonds communs de placement en vue de la désignation d’un ou plusieurs candidats.
When the voting rights linked to shares held by employees are exercised directly by such employees, the Chairman of the Board shall, prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting, organize the vote of the employee shareholders, either in a meeting convened specifically for such purpose, or by a vote in writing. The meeting or the consulting of employee shareholders are reported in minutes with the number of shares collected for each candidate. Only candidates put forward by a group of shareholders representing at least 5% of the shares held by employees exercising their individual voting rights shall be admissible.
A list of all validly appointed candidates shall be prepared. This list shall comprise at least two names. The minutes and the list of candidates shall be appended to the notice convening the Shareholders’ Meeting called to appoint the Director representing employee shareholders.
Procedures for appointing candidates when such provisions are not laid down in law and regulations in force, or by these By-laws, shall be determined by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in particular with respect to the timing of the appointment of such candidates. The same applies for the appointment of the Director representing employee shareholders at the Shareholders’ Meeting.
The Director representing employee shareholders shall be appointed at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting on the same terms as those applicable to all appointments of Directors.
Such Director shall be disregarded for the purposes of determining the minimal and the maximum numbers of Directors stipulated under Article L. 225-17 of the French Code of Commerce.
When during the course of a financial year the report annually presented by the Board of Directors at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting pursuant to Article L.225-102 of the French Code of Commerce establish that the portion of capital owned within the framework of such article represents below 3% of the share capital of the Company, the term of office of the Director representing employee shareholders ends at the closing of the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to which the report of the Board recording this fact will be submitted. In the same case, in the event the seat of Director shall become vacant, for any reason whatsoever, between the closing date of the financial year and the date of said shareholders’ meeting, the Board may hold meetings and validly vote.
Article 12 - MEETING OF THE BOARD
The board of directors shall meet as often as required by the interest of the company.
The meetings of the board of directors are convened by the president. The convening may be made by any means, in oral or written form.
When a work-committee (comité d'entreprise) has been formed, the representatives of such committee, appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code, shall be convened to all the meetings of the board of directors.
The meetings of the board are held at the registered office or at any other place, in France or abroad.
- 7 -
The board of directors may not transact business validly unless at least half of its members are present.

Any director may give to another director, by letter, cable or telex, a proxy to be represented at a meeting of the board. However, each director may only dispose of one proxy during each meeting.
Directors who participate in the board meeting by means of videoconference or telecommunication means allowing the identification and guaranteeing the effective attendance, whose nature and the conditions of application are determined by a Decree of theConseil d’Etat, are deemed to be present and are included for quorum and majority purposes. This provision is not applicable to the adoption of decisions as provided for by articles L. 225-47, L. 225-53, L. 225-55, L. 232-1 and L. 233-16 of theCode of Commerce.

The publication of the by-laws alone does not suffice as evidence.
