(ii)

any decision to redeem any such class of Preferred Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, for any decision listed in Article 4.3 (a) and (b) which would not have been approved in accordance with the majority rules respectively provided for in such paragraphs, each of the Parties undertakes to vote against or to abstain (as long as abstention is effectively considered as a negative vote) at any shareholders meeting or Board of Directors’ meetings (for Parties who are represented as Members) which is convened to deliberate on such decisions.

Article 5 – Pre-emptive Right

5.1.

Prior to any Transfer by a Party (hereafter referred to as a “Transferor”) of all or part of its Shares (hereafter referred to as the “Transferred Shares”) to a Party or a Third Party (hereafter referred to as the “Transferee”), the Transferor shall provide notification of the proposed Transfer (the “Proposed Transfer”) to the other Parties (hereafter referred to as the “Other Parties”, including the Transferee if it is a Party) and to the Company specifying the identity and the nature of the Transferee (Party or Third Party), the identity of the person controlling the Third Party (as the case may be), the number of Shares subject to the Proposed Transfer, the price offered by the Transferee (or, in the circumstances provided for in Article 5.2(b)(ii) below, by the Transferor), and a description of the transaction upon which the Transfer is to be effected.

5.2.

Each Transferor grants to the Other Parties (except the Company), in the event of a Proposed Transfer, a pre-emptive right over the Transferred Shares. This right is granted to

Shareholders’ Agreement – Sequans E round

the Other Parties irrespective of the class of Shares they hold.

The Other Parties will have thirty (30) days as from receipt of notice of the Proposed Transfer to notify the Transferor and the Company of their intent to exercise their pre-emptive right.

The pre-emptive right provided for in this Article 5 will be exercisable as follows:

the pre-emptive right of the Other Parties may only be exercised in respect of all of the Transferred Shares, i.e. for said pre-emptive right to be validly exercised, the total number of Transferred Shares offered to be purchased by the Other Parties must be equal to the number of Transferred Shares;

in case of exercise of the pre-emptive right, the purchase price of the Transferred Shares will be:

(i)

in case of a sale (vente) of the Transferred Shares entirely for cash (numéraire), the purchase price agreed upon by the Transferor and the Transferee, or

(ii)

in all other cases, in particular in the event of a donation, exchange, contribution, merger or demerger or any combination of such forms of ownership transfer, the price offered in good faith by the Transferor or, in the event of a disagreement, the price determined by an expert appointed, upon request of the disagreeing Party or Parties, by order of the President of the Commercial Court (Tribunal de commerce) of Paris, ruling in a summary form (forme des référés) and without appeal, as set forth in article 1843-4 of the French civil code;

if the total number of Transferred Shares offered to be purchased by the Other Parties is equal or superior to the number of Transferred Shares, the Transferred Shares will be sold to the Other Parties having exercised their pre-emptive right in proportion (unless otherwise agreed between the Other Parties) to the ratio of the number of Shares held by each such exercising Other Party to the total number of Shares held by said exercising Other Party as a group, and in any case for each Other Party within the limit of the total number of Transferred Shares he offered to purchase. Any remaining Share or Shares (in case of rompus) will be transferred to the Other Parties holding the largest number of Shares or, in case of a draw, having first notified its intention to exercise its preemptive right or, in case of another draw, having requested the largest number of Transferred Shares. Such Transfer shall take place within the time period specified in the notification of the Proposed Transfer or, in the absence of any such period, within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the one-month pre-emptive period provided for above;

in the absence of any offer to purchase or, if the offers to purchase of the Other Parties concern a number of Transferred Shares inferior to the number of Transferred Shares, the Transferor may proceed with the Proposed Transfer subject to compliance with the provisions of Article 18 hereof and provided that such Transfer be completed within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the 30-day pre-emptive period provided for above, failing which the Transferor shall be bound to conform again to the provisions of this Article 5;

in the circumstances referred to in Article 5.2(b)(ii) above, in the event of disagreement of one Other Party with the price at which the Transferred Shares are offered, the disagreement shall be notified to the Transferor, the Other Parties not concerned and the Company within the first fifteen (15) days of the thirty (30) day period allowed for the exercise of the pre-emptive right. The appointed expert shall, within thirty (30) days of his designation, deliver his report to the Transferor and the Company which shall notify it to each of the Other Parties Any disagreement duly notified shall cause to be void the exercise of any preemptive-right which may have been notified by an Other Party prior to the notification of the expert’s report. All Other Parties may then exercise their preemptive-right, at the price determined by the expert under the terms of Article 5.2(b)(ii), within fifteen (15) days of the notification of the price determined by the expert;

Shareholders’ Agreement – Sequans E round

the Transferor shall not benefit from any right of withdrawal, save for instances where the price determined by the expert in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.2(b)(ii) and Article 5.2(e) above shall be inferior to the price offered by the Transferor and provided that the Transferor shall have informed the Other Parties and the Company that it intends to cancel the Proposed Transfer within five (5) days following the delivery of the expert’s report;

the expert’s fees shall be borne by the Transferor if the price determined by the expert is inferior to the price which the latter shall have offered and by the disagreeing Party(ies) prorata their respective holdings in the Company’s share capital in all other cases.

where:

Investment Fund is any person, company, trust, limited partnership or fund holding shares for investment purposes and not being a member of the Company by virtue of being an employee or ex-employee

a Group Member, as regards any company, is a company which is for the time being a holding company or a subsidiary of that company or of any such holding company ; and

Any change in (or change in the respective entitlements of) the partners, participants, shareholders, unitholders (or any other interests) in any member which is an Investment Fund or any mortgage, charge or other encumbrance created over their interest in any such Investment Fund shall not be regarded as a Transfer.

(b)

to any Member, within the limit of the number of Shares required to exercise the duties of a Member, it being specified that the resale of the same number of Shares by the said new Member, upon the termination of his duties as Member, to the shareholder it had received such Shares from, shall also be exempted from the pre-emptive right provided in this Article 5;

Shareholders’ Agreement – Sequans E round

Article 6 – Full Tag - Along Right (droit de sortie conjointe totale)

6.1.

In the circumstances where one or several Parties (referred to as the “Concerned Party” in this Article 6) would consider the Transfer of Shares (other than a Free Transfer) to one or more Parties and/or Third Parties acting in concert (agissant de concert) (together referred to as the “Acquiror” in this Article 6) of such number of Shares that, as a result of such Transfer, the Acquiror would hold more than 50% of the share capital of the Company (referred to as the “Control” in this Article 6),

the other Parties (hereafter referred to as the “Non-Concerned Parties”) shall have a full tag-along right, pursuant to which each of the Non-Concerned Parties may transfer to the Acquiror, all or part of its Shares on the same terms and conditions as offered by the Acquiror to the Concerned Party.

The Parties shall be entitled to exercise their pre-emptive right provided for in Article 5 above, provided that in the case such Party(ies), as a result of this exercise, fulfill the condition mentioned above and become(s) an Acquiror (such pre-empting Parties being then deemed to be acting in concert), then the Other Parties may exercise the tag-along right provided for in this Article 6.

The Non-Concerned Parties will also benefit from the same tag-along right in case of a Transfer of Shares to an Industrial Investor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Corporate Investors) such as the Industrial Investor would hold 1/3 of the share capital of the Company as a result of the Transfer (hereinafter also referred to as the “Acquiror” in this Article 6). In this particular case, the price of the Offered Shares, as this term is defined hereafter, will be determined pursuant to Article 6.3.2(ii).

Accordingly, prior to the Transfer of any or all of its Shares and before to make any commitment in respect of such Transfer, the Concerned Party shall secure the Acquiror’s irrevocable undertaking to purchase such Shares of the Non-Concerned Parties that they may wish to sell, on the same terms and conditions as offered by the Acquiror to the Concerned Party except that the Non-Concerned Parties shall not be required to make any representations or grant any warranties with respect to the Company and its business.

6.2.

Hence, in the circumstances referred to in Article 6.1 above, the Concerned Party shall inform each of the Non-Concerned Parties in the notification provided for in Article 5.1 hereof, and the Company, that the Proposed Transfer referred to in said Article 5.1 may result in the exercise of the full tag-along right provided for in this Article 6.

6.3.

The Non-Concerned Parties shall have a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice referred to in Article 6.2 above to exercise their full tag-along right in accordance with the following terms and conditions, or their pre-emptive right as provided in Article 5 above:

6.3.1.

If the Non-Concerned Parties wish to exercise their full tag-along right, they shall notify the Concerned Party and the Company, prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to above, of the number of Shares that they wish to transfer (the “Offered Shares”).

6.3.2.

In the event of exercise by any Non-Concerned Party of its full tag-along right, the purchase price per Share payable by the Acquiror for the Offered Shares will be equal to:

(i)

if the price per Share agreed upon by the Acquiror and the Concerned Party is in cash, the greater of (a) the said price per Share, and (b) the average purchase or subscription price per Share paid by the Acquiror to acquire Shares in the six (6) months preceding the notification provided for in Article 6.2 above, subject in any case to the liquidation preference right of the Preferred Shares as case may be, even if this results in reducing the price per Share finally offered to the Concerned Parties, or

Shareholders’ Agreement – Sequans E round

(ii)

in all other cases, the price offered in good faith by the Acquiror or, in case of a disagreement, determined by an expert appointed, upon request of the disagreeing Non-Concerned Party or Parties, by order of the President of the Commercial Court (Tribunal de commerce) of Paris, ruling in a summary form (forme des référés) and without appeal, as set forth in article 1843-4 of the French civil code. All disagreements on the price will be resolved, mutatis mutandis, in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.2(e) of the Agreement, subject to the liquidation preference right of the Preferred Shares as case may be, even if this results in reducing the price per Share finally offered to the Concerned Parties.

6.3.3.

In the event of exercise by any of the Non-Concerned Parties of its full tag-along right, the Transfer of the Offered Shares shall take place within the time period mentioned in the notified Proposed Transfer or, absent any such period, within 15 days of the expiration of the thirty-day period provided for to exercise the full tag-along right set forth in this Article 6 or within 15 days of the date of the expert’s report, as the case may be.

6.4.

In order to ensure the purchase by the Acquiror of the Offered Shares and payment thereof within said period, the Concerned Party shall only transfer ownership of the Transferred Shares to the Acquiror and receive the price therefor if the Acquiror is simultaneously transferred ownership of, and pays the transfer price of the Offered Shares.

6.5.

In the event that, in the course of a duly notified Transfer, no Party shall have exercised its full tag-along right, the notifying Party shall proceed with the Transfer in strict compliance with the terms and schedule of the notified Proposed Transfer or, absent any such schedule, within thirty (30) days of the expiry of the pre-emptive and full tag-along rights exercise periods.

Should the notifying Party fail to do so, it shall be bound, prior to any Transfer of its Securities, to conform again to the provisions of the Agreement.

Article 7 – Proportional Tag-Along Right (droit de sortie conjointe proportionnelle)

7.1

In the event of a Proposed Transfer by any Transferor to a Party or a Third Party (the “Acquiror” in this Article 7.1) of Shares resulting in a Transfer of Shares (other than a Free Transfer), the Transferor shall procure that each other Party (other than (i) the Transferor, (ii), as the case may be, the Acquiror and (iii) the Parties not holding Shares of the same class(es) than the Shares that the Transferor is proposing to transfer – the “Non Concerned Parties”) so requesting within the thirty (30) day period provided for in the second paragraph of Article 5.2 above (the “Interested Party” in this Article 7.1) be able to transfer to the Acquiror a maximum number “N” of Shares (the “Tagged Shares”) calculated as follows :



	N =	TTS	x A
	N =	THS	x A

where:		TTS:	is the total number of Shares proposed to be transferred by the Transferor;

		THS:	is the total number of Shares of the same class than the Shares proposed to be transferred by the Transferor, held by the Transferor at the date of notification of the relevant Proposed Transfer to the Interested Party pursuant to Article 5.1 above.

		A:	is equal to the total number of Shares of the same class than the Shares proposed to be transferred by the Transferor, held by a given Interested Party exercising its proportional tag-along right under this

Shareholders’ Agreement – Sequans E round

Article 7 as at the date of notification by the Interested Party of its intent to exercise its proportional tag-along right.

provided that, “N” shall be rounded down to the highest whole number.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article 7.1 shall not apply to Transfers which do not exceed for any Transferor, in one or several Transfers, 10% of the total number of Shares held on a Fully Diluted Capital basis by said Transferor as at the date hereof.

Accordingly, prior to the Transfer of any or all of its Shares, the Interested Party shall secure the Acquiror’s irrevocable undertaking to purchase such Shares that the Interested Party(ies) may wish to sell as set forth in this Article 7.1. Parties exercising their preemptive right provided for in Article 5 above on the Proposed Transfer shall also be bound to purchase Tagged Shares of the Interested Party(ies).

7.2

In the event of exercise by any Non-Concerned Party of its proportional tag-along right, the purchase price per Share payable by the Acquiror the Tagged Shares will be equal to:

(i)

if the price per Share agreed upon by the Acquiror and the Concerned Party is in cash, the greater of (a) the said price per Share, and (b) the average purchase price per Share paid by the Acquiror to acquire Shares in the six (6) months preceding the notification provided for in Article 5.1 above, or

(ii)

7.3.

In the event of exercise by any of the Non-Concerned Parties of its proportional tag-along right, the Transfer of the Tagged Shares shall take place within the time period mentioned in the notified Proposed Transfer or, absent any such period, within 15 days of the expiration of the thirty-day period provided for to exercise the proportional-along right set forth in this Article 7 or within 15 days of the date of the expert’s report, as the case may be.

7.4

In order to ensure the purchase by the Acquiror of the Tagged Shares and payment thereof within said period, the Concerned Party shall only transfer ownership of the Shares proposed to the Transfer (as reduced as a result of the tag along rights) to the Acquiror and receive the price therefore if the Acquiror is simultaneously transferred ownership of, and pays the transfer price of the Tagged Shares.

7.5

In the event that, in the course of a duly notified Transfer, no Party shall have exercised its proportionate tag-along right, the notifying Party shall proceed with the Transfer in strict compliance with the terms and schedule of the notified Proposed Transfer or, absent any such schedule, within thirty (30) days of the expiry of the pre-emptive and proportionate tag-along rights exercise periods.

Should the notifying Party fail to do so, it shall be bound, prior to any Transfer of its Securities, to conform again to the provisions of the Agreement.

8.7.
