attempt by Mr. Mallet and/or Mrs. Mallet to Transfer any Shares or Preferred Shares to any Transferee, including a permitted Transferee hereunder, in violation of the

Agreement,

of Preferred Shares. 

        (a)   Mr. Mallet
and Mrs. Mallet shall be entitled to contribute all (but not less than all of) their Shares or Preferred Shares, at any time, by sending a
written notice duly signed by them to Paradigm, subject to and pursuant to this Section 2.3, for a period of 10 years as of the date hereof. In consideration for the Contribution of all,
but not less than all of, their Shares or Preferred Shares (the "Covered Shares", and each of them a "Covered Share"), and subject to
Section 2.3 (f) below, Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet shall receive 

          (i)  a
number of newly issued ordinary shares and Convertible Subordinated Debentures of Paradigm calculated in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, and 

         (ii)  the
Earn-Out Payment, as defined in Section 2.3 (b) below; 

        (the
Paradigm ordinary shares and Convertible Subordinated Debentures issued and delivered to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet hereunder being collectively referred to
hereinafter as the "Exchange Shares and Debentures"). 

Within
thirty (30) days as of the receipt by Paradigm of a written notice from Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet stating their intent to contribute all of the Shares or Preferred Shares
they own for ordinary shares of Paradigm and Convertible Subordinated Debentures, Paradigm shall receive, as consideration, all of the Shares or Preferred Shares owned by Mr. Mallet and
Mrs. Mallet and shall provide a notarial deed of issuance of newly issued shares, duly executed in the Netherlands before a Dutch Civil Law Notary, and all other appropriate documents or
instruments, evidencing the issue and delivery of the Exchange Shares and Debentures referred to in paragraph (i) above, free and clear of all liens, against the delivery by Mr. Mallet
and Mrs. Mallet of duly completed and executed share transfer forms (ordres de mouvement), evidencing the Transfer of all of the Shares of
Preferred Shares held by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet to Paradigm, free and clear of all liens. 

        (b)   The
Earn-Out Payment per Covered Share shall be equal to an option to purchase the following amounts of Paradigm ordinary shares and Convertible Subordinated
Debentures for one euro cent (€0.01) each: 

	(i)
	if
the EDS 2006 Gross Revenue (as such term is defined in the Share Exchange Agreement) is equal to or more than 95% of the 2006 Gross Revenue Budget (as such term is
defined in the Share Exchange Agreement), one and a half Paradigm ordinary shares and half a Convertible Subordinated Debenture;

	(ii)
	if
the EDS 2006 Gross Revenue is equal to or more than 80% of the 2006 Gross Revenue Budget and less than 95% of the 2006 Gross Revenue Budget, the product of
(x) one and a half Paradigm ordinary shares and half a Convertible Subordinated Debenture, multiplied by (y) the Earn-Out Fraction (as such term is defined in the Share
Exchange Agreement);

	(iii)
	if
the EDS 2006 Gross Revenue is less than 80% of the 2006 Gross Revenue Budget, zero; and

	(iv)
	if
more than 50% of the Paradigm ordinary shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) are transferred to a third party not affiliated with the controlling shareholder
of Paradigm at the date hereof, Fox Paine (the concept of control being defined by reference to Article L.233-3 of the French Commercial Code) on or before December 31, 2006,
one and a half Paradigm ordinary shares and one and a half Convertible Subordinated Debentures (without duplication for any amounts in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii)). 

6

 

        (c)   For
purposes of determining the Earn-Out Payment under Section 2.3 (b) above, the Parties hereby irrevocably undertake to refer to the amount
of the EDS 2006 Gross Revenue as set out in the Final Earn-Out Statement (as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement), and irrevocably waive any right to challenge such amount, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Paradigm shall notify in writing the Beneficiary of the amount of the EDS 2006 Gross Revenue, as set out in the Final Earn-Out Statement, and
the amounts of Paradigm ordinary shares and Convertible Subordinated Debentures that Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet are entitled to purchase under Section 2.3 (b) above, within
ten (10) Business Days as of the determination of the Final Earn-Out Statement under the Share Exchange Agreement. 

        (d)   The
Convertible Subordinated Debentures issued in accordance with Section 2.3 (b) shall have a principal amount of U.S.$9.15 and shall be dated as of the
Initial Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Share Exchange Agreement), with accrual of interest and other rights as of that date. 

        (e)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Convertible Subordinated Debentures are redeemed, in particular in connection with an IPO (as such term is defined
below), Paradigm shall be entitled to pay the Redemption Price (as such term is defined in Exhibit 2.1 (b) (xiii) of the Share Exchange Agreement) of the Convertible Subordinated
Debentures in the form of a cash payment to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet, instead of delivering the applicable number of Convertible Subordinated Debentures as part of the consideration
for the Shares or Preferred Shares held by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet, under this Section 2.3. In such case, the amount of the Redemption Price due to Mr. Mallet and
Mrs. Mallet shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit 2.1 (b) (xiii) of the Share Exchange Agreement. 

        (f)    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that a majority of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding of Paradigm are, directly or indirectly, acquired by, or
otherwise contributed or transferred in any manner (the "Change of Control") to an entity ("Parent"), the consideration for the Contribution
by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet of their Shares or Preferred Shares set forth in paragraphs (a) to (e) above of this Section 2.3 shall be adjusted and the terms of
this Agreement shall be modified accordingly in order to provide that Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet shall contribute, or otherwise exchange, that portion of their Shares or Preferred Shares
that would have been contributed to Paradigm in exchange for ordinary shares to Parent for an aggregate number equal to the aggregate number of ordinary shares of Paradigm that Mr. Mallet and
Mrs. Mallet would have been entitled to receive had they held the relevant number of Paradigm Shares at such time. Upon written request of Paradigm, Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet
shall promptly execute any amendment to this Agreement or other agreement or document, as may be necessary or required under applicable laws and regulations, in order to implement the above. 

        (g)   If
Paradigm does not satisfy its obligation to contribute or exchange the Preferred Shares and provided Mr. and Mrs. Mallet have otherwise performed all
steps required for such exchange, Mr. and Mrs. Mallet shall have the right, after expiration of 60 days following the request to Paradigm to proceed with the exchange, to put all
their Preferred Shares to Paradigm, or as the case may be to Parent, at their fair market value to be determined by a third party expert appointed by the mutual consent of the parties or, failing such
consent, by the President of the Tribunal de Commerce of Paris. The exercise of such put shall not prevent Paradigm from exercising the Call Right
which, if exercised, shall prevail over the put. 

Change
of control of Paradigm prior to an IPO. In the event of a contemplated transfer of a controlling shareholding interest (as defined under Paradigm Shareholders
Agreement) in Paradigm to a third party prior to the completion of an IPO and unless Paradigm exercises its Call Right, Paradigm shall deliver a written notice to Mr. Mallet and
Mrs. Mallet, at least one week before the completion of such transfer to third party Such notice shall state the expected date on which such transfer is to be completed and a good faith
estimate of the value of the Exchange Shares and Debentures issued or to 

7

 

be
issued by Paradigm under Sections 2.3 or 3.1 of this Agreement in consideration for the Preferred Shares held by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet. Such estimated value shall be calculated
on the basis of a good faith estimate of the purchase price of each Paradigm ordinary share agreed upon between the majority shareholder of Paradigm and the third party, or as the case may be, on the
basis of the estimated fair market value of the consideration offered by the third party for each Paradigm ordinary share if such consideration is not entirely in cash. 

8

   ARTICLE III.  

 CALL RIGHT  

        3.1    Call
Right. 

        Mr. Mallet
and Mrs. Mallet hereby irrevocably grant to Paradigm the right, but not the obligation, as a promesse d'apport
within the meaning of French law, notably article 150 OB of the General French Tax Code (the "Call Right"), at any time for a ten-year period as of the
date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.1, to receive as consideration from Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet all, but not less than all, of the Preferred
Shares held by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet (the "Call Shares"). The Parties expressly agree that in the event of a Change of Control, as provided in
Section 2.3 (f) above, Paradigm shall be entitled to substitute Parent as beneficiary of the Call Right, which is expressly accepted by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet. 

        3.2    Call
Notice. 

        If
Paradigm decides to exercise its Call Right, it shall deliver a written notice (the "Call Notice") to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet, which
shall state (i) the intent of Paradigm to exercise its Call Right under Section 3.1 of this Agreement, (ii) the nature of the consideration offered for the Contribution of the
Preferred Shares, which shall consist in the issue and delivery of Exchange Shares and Debentures, or in case of Change of Control as provided in Section 2.3 (f) above in the issue and
delivery or a number of ordinary shares of Parent, in each case calculated on the basis of the value of the Shares retained by the Parties at the date hereof for the purposes of the calculation of the
Exchange Ratio, and (iii) the proposed date and place of closing for the completion of the Contribution of the Preferred Shares, it being specified that if Paradigm exercises its Call Right in
connection with an anticipated IPO, Paradigm may specify that the date of closing for the completion of the Contribution of the Preferred Shares owned by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet under
this Section 3.1 shall be the closing date of the IPO, or the effective date of the related registration statement, and such Call Right can be conditioned upon completion of the IPO or the
effectiveness of the registration statement. If the IPO does not close or the related registration statement does not become effective, the closing for the completion of the Contribution shall not
occur. 

        3.3    Indemnification.    In
the event Paradigm exercises its Call Right in connection with an IPO, Paradigm shall make its best efforts
in order to enable Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet to obtain an amount equal to at least one million (1,000,000) USD from the sale or transfer, in connection with such IPO, of the Exchange
Shares and Debentures, or as the case may be of the ordinary shares of Parent, that they will receive under this Agreement in consideration for the contribution of their EDS Preferred Shares or in
connection with the redemption of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures issued to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet hereunder. Should Paradigm decide to exercise its Call Right before the
contemplated date for the closing of an IPO and if (i) the IPO is not closed as of January 1st of the immediately following year or, (ii) the total amount received
by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet from the sale or transfer of their Exchange Shares and Debentures or the redemption of their Convertible Subordinated Debentures in connection with such IPO
is less than one million (1,000,000) USD, Paradigm hereby undertakes to indemnify Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet for the adverse tax impact arising from the application of French wealth tax  (impôt sur la
fortune) to their personal patrimony as of January 1st of that year as a result of the contribution of
the Preferred Shares that they own under this Section 3.3 In such case, if the IPO is not closed as of January 1st of the immediately following year after the exercise of
the Call Right, Paradigm shall indemnify Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet, until the earlier of (x) the fiscal year during which the closing of the IPO shall occur, provided that
Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet receive at least one million (1,000,000) USD of liquidity in connection with the closing of such IPO, or (y) the calendar year in which a number of
Exchange Shares and ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Debentures owned by Mr. Mallet 

9

 

and
Mrs. Mallet, collectively, shall have become eligible for sale to the public without registration under Rule 144 under the United States Securities Act or another exemption from
registration therefrom that such sale could have generated one million (1,000,000) USD of liquidity, whether or not Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet choose to sell such share. If in connection
with an IPO whose closing occurs before the end of the fiscal year during which Paradigm has exercised its Call Right, Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet do not receive at least one million
(1,000,000) USD of liquidity, Paradigm shall indemnify Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet for a one (1) year-period as of January 1st of the immediately
following fiscal year. Such indemnification obligation shall be limited to the amount of the French wealth tax actually (impôt sur la
fortune) incurred by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet. The indemnity due by Paradigm to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet in such case shall be equal to the
additional amount of French wealth tax due as a result of such Preferred Shares, to the exclusion of any tax gross-up and to the exclusion, in particular, of any French social charges
which may become due by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet in relation thereto. Such indemnity shall become due and payable at the latest five business days before June 15th
of the indemnified year upon the receipt by Paradigm of a copy of the French wealth tax form to be filed by Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet evidencing the amount of the French wealth tax that
Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet have to pay together with an affidavit from Mr. and Mrs. Mallet tax advisor certifying the calculations. For the avoidance of doubt, it is
expressly agreed that Paradigm shall have no indemnification obligation with respect to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet under this Section 3.3 if Paradigm exercises its Call Right
(i) at any time before the contemplated date for the closing of an IPO and if in connection with such IPO, Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet receive an amount at least equal to one
million (1,000,000) USD from the sale of their Paradigm shares or from the redemption of their Convertible Subordinated Debentures, or (ii) at any time after the closing of an IPO. 

        Should
the exchange of the Preferred Shares for Paradigm shares and Convertible Subordinated Debentures or, as the case may be for Parent ordinary shares, whether upon exercise of the
Call Right
or of the right provided in Section 2.3, not be structured as an issuance of new shares by Paradigm or Parent for the contribution of the Preferred Shares, provided this does not result from
Mr. and Mrs. Mallet's failure to comply with their obligations to Contribute their Preferred Shares in accordance with this Section 3, and therefore not qualify as a contribution
for purposes of article 150 OB of the General French Tax Code (Code Genéral des Impôts), Paradigm hereby undertakes
to indemnify Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet for the adverse tax impact arising from the application of French personal income taxes and, as the case may be, additional social contributions,
as a result of the contribution of the Preferred Shares that they own. The indemnity due by Paradigm to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet in such case shall be equal to the amount of personal
income tax and additional social contributions paid upon the Contribution. Such indemnity shall become due and payable within a six-month period of the receipt by Paradigm of a copy of the
tax statement delivered to Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet evidencing the amount of personal income tax and additional social contributions that Mr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet have
to pay. 

        3.4    Transfer.    Upon

DRAFT RESOLUTIONS

TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE APPROVAL

OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EDS

RELATING TO THE CONVERSION OF

THE CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES HELD

BY MR. MALLET AND MRS. MALLET

INTO PREFERRED SHARES  

[FIRST] RESOLUTION  

        The General Meeting, after having read the report of the management board and the report of the contribution auditor appointed by decision of the President of the
Commercial Court of Nancy dated                        2006, upon request of the Company, in order to assess the particular
advantages (avantages particuliers)
in accordance with the provisions of article L.228-15 of the French Commercial Code, decides the creation of [48,128] Preferred Shares
(actions de preférence),by conversion of the following Class A ordinary shares of
the Company: 

	•
	[48,128]
Class A ordinary shares owned by Mr. Jean-Laurent Mallet,

	•
	[25,989]
Class A ordinary shares owned by Mrs. Danielle Mallet 

        The
Preferred Shares will be effectively issued as of the approval of the conversion of Class A ordinary shares by the shareholders. 

        The
Preferred Shares will be submitted to the same provisions of the articles of incorporation (statuts) as those governing ordinary
shares, and will have the same rights as the Class A ordinary shares, in proportion to the fraction of the capital that they represent, except with respect to the following rights: 

        The
Preferred Shares do not and will not carry the right for their holders to vote on the decisions falling within the competence of the shareholders' meetings of a French  société anonyme, nor
the right to attend the general meetings of the shareholders of the Company, nor the right more
generally to be informed or to be consulted in any manner on the decisions of such general meetings of the shareholders. 

        By
exception to the above, the holders of Preferred Shares will be convened to vote on the following decisions, the approval of which will require the unanimous consent of all the
holders of Preferred Shares: (i) any modification of the rights of the holders of Preferred Shares as provided in the articles of incorporation of the Company (except for the adjustments which
may result from the transformation of the Company into a simplified joint stock corporation (société par actions
simplifiée) and the corresponding modifications of its articles of incorporation), (ii) the transfer of the Company's registered office in a place outside
of the territory of the French Republic, and (iii) any decision resulting in the dissolution or the liquidation of the Company (except for merger or demerger decisions, such decisions being
solely decided by the holders of Class A ordinary shares of the Company). 

        The
Preferred Shares will not give right to dividends or liquidation bonus based on the profits and assets of the Company but will give right to dividends and liquidation bonus, if any,
of Paradigm Geotechnology B.V., a company organized under the laws of The Netherlands, which as the direct or indirect, owner of all of the Class A ordinary shares representing more than 50% of
the Company's capital, as if the holders of Preferred Shares were holding a number of ordinary shares of Paradigm Geotechnology B.V. equal to 48,128 times [    ] (the
"Exchange Ratio"). 

        The
holders of the Preferred Shares will not be entitled to transfer such shares, except (i) in case of death of one of them through inheritance, or in favor of the other
Preferred Shares holders, or (ii) in favor of the holder of Class A ordinary shares. 

[SECOND] RESOLUTION

        This
article is now drafted as follows: 

"The capital is an amount of 495,256.7 euros.  

        It is divided into 215.329 shares, par value €2,3 each, consisting in Class A ordinary shares and [48,128]
Class [F] preferred shares, all fully paid." 

Article 11.—Form
of the shares 

[Note: such article of the articles of incorporation of EDS must be modified to reflect the new allocation of the capital between ordinary
and preferred shares].

Article 12—Transfer
of the shares 

        The
following paragraph is added at the end of this article: 

"IV—By exception to the above, the Class [F] preferred shares cannot be transferred by their holders, except (i) in case of
transfer through inheritance in favor of another holder of Class [F] preferred shares or (ii) in favor of the holder of Class A ordinary
shares.

Any Transfer made in violation of the above will be null and void and will be treated as such by the Company pursuant to this clause and the applicable provisions of the French
Commercial Code.

For the purposes of this clause, "Transfer" means any operation resulting in a transfer of ownership, for any cause, including,
but not limited to, (i) the transfer or assignment (with or without consideration, inter vivos or because of death), even though it would occur through a public auction (adjudication publique)
or pursuant to a court order, (ii) the transfer in the form of donation, payment in kind (dation en paiement) or by exchange, split, loan (in particular, share loan), sale with option to
repurchase (vente a réméré), contribution in kind, spin-off, liquidation, merger or demerger or any combination of such operations,
(iii) transfers relating to ownership, usufruct or any or any other break-up of ownership right or to any other right attached to the object of the transfer (including, as the case
may be, any voting right or right to dividends), and "To Transfer" means the action to carry out such operation, or to undertake to proceed to such
operation."

Article 13—Rights
and obligations attached to the shares 

        The
following paragraph is added at the end of this article: 

"IV. The Class [F] preferred shares do not and will not carry the right for their holders to vote on the decisions falling within the competence
of the shareholders' meetings of a French société anonyme, nor the right to attend the general meetings of the shareholders of the Company, nor the right more generally
to be informed or to be consulted in any manner on the decisions of such general meetings of the shareholders.

By exception to the above, the holders of Class [F] preferred shares will be convened to vote on the following decisions, the approval of which
will require the unanimous consent of all the holders of Class [F] preferred shares: (i) any modification of the rights of the holders of
Class [F] preferred shares as provided in the articles of incorporation of the Company (except for the adjustments which may result from the transformation of the
Company into a simplified joint  

 stock corporation (societe par actions simplifiée) and the corresponding modifications of its articles of incorporation), (ii) the transfer of the Company's registered office in
a place outside of the territory of the French Republic, and (iii) any decision resulting in the dissolution or the liquidation of the Company (except for merger or demerger decisions, such decisions
being solely decided by the holders of Class A ordinary shares of the Company).

The Class [F] preferred shares will not give right to dividends or liquidation bonus based on the profits and assets of the Company but will give
right to dividends and liquidation bonus, if any, of Paradigm Geotechnology B.V., a company organized under the laws of The Netherlands, which as the direct or indirect owner of all of the
Class A ordinary shares representing more than 50% of the Company's capital, as if the holders of Class [F] preferred shares were holding a number of ordinary
shares of Paradigm Technology B. V. equal to 48,128 times [    ] (the "Exchange Ratio").Exhibit 4.7

subscribe for Class A ordinary shares of EDS (the "EDS Options"), to some of its employees, under the existing stock-option and warrant plans and pursuant to

        WHEREAS,
the Beneficiary holds [number] EDS Options, and is entitled to subscribe for
[number] EDS Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of his/her EDS Options (the "EDS

Holding Period without incurring any adverse tax or social security consequences under applicable laws (whether to the Beneficiary or the Company) (i.e.
currently in the event of death, disability, retirement or dismissal on another ground than serious fault ("faute grave ou lourde") of the Beneficiary,

the foregoing, in the event that the Convertible Subordinated Debentures are redeemed, in particular in connection with an IPO (as such term is defined below), the
consideration due to the Beneficiary referred to in Section 3.1 (i) above shall consist in eighteen (18) ordinary shares in the share capital of Paradigm in exchange for each EDS
Share to the subscription of which each EDS Option held by the Beneficiary gives rise. In addition, the number of Convertible Subordinated Debentures to which the Beneficiary may be entitled in
connection with the Earn-Out Stock Payment under Section 3.1 (ii) above shall be replaced by an equivalent 

number
of Paradigm ordinary shares. In any event, the Beneficiary expressly acknowledges that in such an event he shall not be entitled to request the issue by Paradigm of Convertible Subordinated
Debentures as part of the consideration for the EDS Shares hereunder. 

	3.6
	Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that a majority of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding of Paradigm are, directly or indirectly, acquired by, or otherwise
contributed or transferred in any manner (the "Change of Control") to an entity ("Parent"), the consideration for the Transfer by the
Beneficiary of his/her EDS Shares set forth in Sections 3.1 to 3.5 above shall be adjusted, and the terms of this Agreement shall be modified accordingly so that, upon exercise of his/her EDS Options
hereunder, the Beneficiary shall receive a number of ordinary shares issued by Parent whose aggregate number shall be equal to the aggregate number of ordinary shares of Paradigm that the Beneficiary
would have been entitled to receive had it held the relevant number of Paradigm Shares at such time. Upon written request of Paradigm, the Beneficiary shall promptly execute any amendment to this
Agreement or other agreement or document, as may be necessary or required under applicable laws and regulations, in order to implement the above.

	3.7
	In
the event that the Beneficiary exercises his/her Cashless Exercise Right pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, the consideration to be received by the Beneficiary under
this Agreement shall be calculated by applying the Exchange Ratio to the number of EDS Shares held by the Beneficiary after deduction of the Cashless Shares (as such term is defined in
Section 4.2 below), without prejudice to the right of the Beneficiary to receive the Earn-Out Stock Payment in respect of such number of EDS Shares after deduction of the Cashless
Shares.

	3.8
	In
accordance with Articles L.225-181 et seq. of the French Commercial Code and the corresponding regulations (including
all future amendments thereof, if any), and in accordance with any equivalent regulations applicable to Paradigm, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted by Paradigm in the event of any operation
occurring between the Acquisition and the Exercise Date (as defined in Section 5 below), which may affect the value of the EDS Shares. Such operations shall, in particular, include any
transaction on the share capital of EDS and/or Paradigm, such as the amortization or reduction of the share capital, the incorporation to the share capital of reserves, profits or paid-in
surplus, the issuance of capital securities ("litres de capital") or securities giving right to the issue of capital securities to which is attached a
preferential subscription right for the shareholders, any change in the allocation of profits, the issue of free shares ("actions gratuites"), and the
distribution of reserves. 

Article 4—Cashless Program Exercise  

	4.1
	In
case of merger of EDS into Paradigm or a company of the Paradigm group, the absorbing company shall assume the EDS obligations in relation with the EDS Options in such way that the
options granted by the absorbing company shall allow the Beneficiary to acquire or subscribe for shares of the letter based on the merger exchange ratio. 

        Paradigm
shall, or shall cause the absorbing company resulting from such merger to, take all necessary steps, including by entering into any necessary amendment to this Agreement with
the Beneficiary, so as to ensure that upon exercise by the Beneficiary of his/her stock options in the absorbing company, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the same total number of Paradigm
shares and Convertible Subordinated Debentures to which the Beneficiary would have been entitled upon exercise of his/her EDS Options in accordance with the terms of Article 3 of this
Agreement, in the absence of such merger. 

        In
addition, the rights of the Beneficiaries under the Agreement will be preserved notwithstanding the merger with Paradigm or a company of the Paradigm group, in such a way that the
number of Paradigm shares and Convertible Subordinated Debtentures they will receive in exchange for their shares in the absorbing company remains equal to the number of Paradigm shares and
Convertible Subordinated Debentures they would have received in accordance with Article 3 of this Agreement if the merger had not taken place. 

	4.2
	Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4, Paradigm agrees, upon written request of the Beneficiary to Paradigm, to pay the subscription price due by the
Beneficiary to EDS, on the Exercise Date, in connection with the exercise by the Beneficiary of its EDS Options, in the name and on behalf of the Beneficiary, under a loan without interest granted by
Paradigm to the Beneficiary for such purpose (the "Cashless Exercise Right"). The Beneficiary hereby irrevocably undertakes to repay such loan on the Exercise Date by
selling to Paradigm a number of EDS Shares, whose aggregate value, as determined pursuant to Section 4.3 below, shall be equal to the amount of the subscription price paid by Paradigm to EDS on
behalf of the Beneficiary in connection with the exercise of his/her EDS Options.

	4.3
	For
the purposes of determining the number of EDS Shares to be sold by the Beneficiary to Paradigm under this Section 4, the value of each EDS Share shall be deemed to be equal
to €195, subject to possible adjustments pursuant to Section 3.7 of this Agreement (such number of EDS Shares to be sold to Paradigm, the "Cashless
Shares").

	4.4
	If
the Beneficiary decides to exercise its Cashless Exercise Right, he/she shall deliver a written notice to Paradigm in the same form as set forth in
Exhibit 4.4 attached hereto (the "Cashless Exercise Notice") no later than fifteen (15) Business Days before the date at which
the Beneficiary intends to exercise his/her EDS Options. Such notice shall state, in particular, (i) the intent of the Beneficiary to exercise his/her EDS Options and his/her Cashless Exercise
Right under this Section 4, (ii) the number of EDS Options of the Beneficiary and the total subscription price due to EDS and (iii) the date on which the Beneficiary intends to
exercise his/her EDS Options. Such notice shall further contain an irrevocable power of attorney granted by the Beneficiary to Paradigm, acting in the name and on behalf of the Beneficiary, in order
to (a) send a written notice to EDS stating the intent of the Beneficiary to exercise his/her EDS Options, (b) pay directly to EDS the total amount of the subscription price due by the
Beneficiary in connection with the exercise of his/her EDS Options, and a subscription form (bulletin de souscription) duly completed and executed by
the Beneficiary.

	4.5
	After
the receipt of the Cashless Exercise Notice, and provided that the Beneficiary is and remains duly entitled to exercise his/her EDS Options at the date of the Cashless Exercise
Notice and at the date of exercise of his/her EDS Options, Paradigm, acting in the name and on behalf of the Beneficiary, shall send, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, a written notice
to EDS stating the intent of the Beneficiary to exercise his/her EDS Options and the number of EDS Options which are exercised, together with the corresponding subscription form duly completed and
executed by the Beneficiary, and shall pay the total amount of the subscription price due by the Beneficiary to EDS, in immediately available funds, on the date stated in the Cashless Exercise Notice.
Paradigm shall send a copy of such notice to the Beneficiary simultaneously.

	4.6
	Immediately
after receipt by EDS of the written notice together with the subscription form referred to in Section 4.4 above and the subscription price paid by Paradigm on
behalf of the Beneficiary, the loan granted by Paradigm to the Beneficiary under this Section 4 shall be repaid, on the Exercise Date, through set-off with the purchase price due by
Paradigm to the Beneficiary for the purchase of the Cashless Shares. The Beneficiary hereby gives an irrevocable power of attorney to Paradigm and to EDS, acting together or individually, to carry out
all necessary formalities, to establish and execute all necessary or appropriate documentation, and in particular, to complete, date and execute on his/her behalf any share transfer order
("ordre de mouvement") in order to complete and perfect the sale to Paradigm of the Cashless Shares pursuant to this Section 4, on the Exercise
Date. 

Article 5—Closing of the Transfers  

	5.1
	Each
Transfer shall occur immediately following the subscription by the Beneficiary of the EDS Shares resulting from the exercise of the EDS Options at the Exercise Date. The
"Exercise Date" shall mean, with respect to the EDS Shares, the date on which EDS receives the written notice from the Beneficiary stating his/her intent to exercise all
of the EDS Options he/she holds and 

which
are exercisable under the applicable EDS stock-option plan, and the amount of the subscription price due by the Beneficiary for the corresponding number of EDS Shares, The Beneficiary hereby
gives an irrevocable power of attorney to Paradigm and to EDS, acting together or individually, to carry out all necessary formalities, to establish and execute all necessary or appropriate
documentation to perfect the Transfers, and in particular, to complete, date and execute on his/her behalf any share transfer order ("ordre de
mouvement") relating to the Transfers. 

	5.2
	The
delivery by Paradigm to the Beneficiary, in payment for the Transfer of the EDS Shares, of the number of Paradigm shares calculated pursuant to Section 3 above shall take
place within fifteen (15) Business Days as from the Exercise Date.

	5.3
	Notwithstanding
the foregoing, EDS shall be entitled to suspend the exercise period of the EDS Options at any time for a maximum period of ninety (90) days in the event that
one of the operations listed in Article L, 225-181 et seq.of the French Commercial Code is carried out. The Beneficiary shall be
informed by any means at least eight (8) Business Days prior to the entry in effect of such suspension. Such restriction may be extended or renewed by Paradigm, to the extent necessary and
within the limit of ninety (90) additional days. Any attempt by the Beneficiary to exercise his/her EDS Options during such suspension period shall be void and of no effect, and no EDS Share
may be transferred to Paradigm in such case. The exercise period of the EDS Options shall be prorogated by the number of days of suspension plus ten (10) days, in order to allow the Beneficiary
to exercise his/her EDS Options as if no suspension had been decided.
