(an electronically signed version is available on request)

Preamble

The present internal regulations are the internal regulations of the following association, governed by the law of July 1, 1901 and the decree of August 16, 1901:

NANOMESUREFRANCE

It is intended to supplement the association's bylaws and to set out the various points that are not specified, in particular those relating to the association's internal administration.

The present internal regulations are sent to all members of the association, as well as to each new member. They apply to all members, and are appended to the association's articles of association.

The provisions of these by-laws must be interpreted in the light of the association's articles of association. In the event of ambiguity or contradiction, the articles of association take precedence over the internal regulations.

TITLE I - ASSOCIATION MEMBERS

Article 1 - MEMBERSHIP OF NEW MEMBERS

The association may welcome new members at any time.

Membership is free and open to all applicants. To become a member of the association, applicants must submit their membership application in writing to the following address secretariat@nanomesurefrance.fr. The applicant must then complete the membership form submitted by the association's secretariat, and read the articles of association and the present internal regulations.

Once the membership form has been completed, the association's secretariat checks the validity of the applicant's application (cf. Article 7 of the association's articles of association) and, if positive, the applicant is required to pay the prescribed membership fee (cf. Article 2). All applicants must fully and unreservedly accept the association's articles of association and the present by-laws, on the basis of a dated and signed certificate. Membership becomes effective on the date of receipt of payment of the membership fee, as recorded by the association's secretariat.

If membership is refused, the association will give the reasons for the refusal.

Article 2 - CONTRIBUTIONS

New members are required to pay a membership fee, the amounts of which are set out in Table 1 and may be revised each year at the association's Annual General Meeting.

Membership fees apply to all members in the categories specified in a summary table available on request from the association's secretariat.

Membership fees apply to members joining on January 1st of the current year. For new members joining during the course of the year, the membership fee is calculated on a monthly pro rata basis for the remaining period of the year n (membership month due in full, regardless of the date of joining). The contribution for year n+1 is then due on January 1, and covers the full contribution.

All fees paid to the association are definitively acquired. No refund will be made for any reason whatsoever during the year.

This fee must then be paid by members every year, on January 1st, to reiterate their membership of the association.

Each member is notified on October 1st of year n of the need to renew his or her subscription for year n+1. If the membership fee has not been paid, a reminder will be sent to the member in accordance with Article 8 of the association's articles of association. If, at the end of the period allowed, the member has still not paid his/her membership fee, he/she will be automatically struck off the association.

Article 3 - RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF ASSOCIATION MEMBERS

Members may take part in all meetings and activities proposed by the association, within the limits, where applicable, of the benefits inherent in their membership fee (see Table 1). They may take part in the association's activities and projects in accordance with the terms set out in the association's by-laws. They undertake to respect the association's by-laws and internal regulations, as well as the premises and any equipment provided by the association.
