Agreement are for convenience only and do not form a part of this Agreement.

            (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of
the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart.

            (e) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Proxy
constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both
written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an agreement in writing

Stockholder; provided, however, that the Company's obligations hereunder may not
be changed or modified without the written consent of the Company.

            (f) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement,
shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any

affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent

<PAGE>

ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the
party drafting such agreement or document.

            (i) Remedies. The parties acknowledge that Parent will be
irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law in the event
of a violation or breach of any of the terms of this Agreement. Therefore, it is
agreed that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Parent
upon any such violation or breach, Parent shall have the right to enforce the
terms hereof by specific performance, injunctive relief or by any other means
available to Parent at law or in equity, and that Stockholder waives the posting
of any bond or security in connection with any proceedings related thereto. All
rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available
in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative,
and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by Parent shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or
remedy by Parent.

rights, interests or obligations of the parties hereto may be assigned by any of
the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any
purported assignment in violation of this SECTION 14(j) shall be void.

	1.3	 	No voluntary contribution, except for that of an elective profit-sharing distribution
payment, may be made as of the date of departure from the Company for any reason other than
retirement or early retirement.

Monetary contributions as well as the transfer of Company shares to the Plan entitle an employee to
all rights attached to full Plan participation.

Every Plan beneficiary making a voluntary contribution to the Plan fills in a participation form
provided by the Company. Participation is effective from date of deposit of the form with the
Human Resources Department of the Company.

Article 4 – Contribution Methods 

4.1 – Statutory profit-sharing

Under the provisions of Article R. 442-10 of the Labor Code, the distribution of the statutory
profit-sharing special reserve must be made to its beneficiaries before the first day of the fourth
month following the closing of the fiscal year to which the distribution applies. After that date,
the Company must calculate and add interest at a rate fixed by law to the profit-sharing payment.
The interest must be paid at the same time as the principal and under the same conditions.

4.2 – Voluntary contributions

All Plan beneficiaries as defined under the clause 1.1 herein may make voluntary contributions to
the Plan.

The total annual amount of the sums contributed by the Plan participant may not exceed the legal
ceiling which, as of the date of this Plan Document, is one-quarter of the participant’s annual
gross salary if an employee and one-quarter of the pension amount received per year if the
participant is retired or has taken early retirement. Only voluntary contributions, defined as
elective profit-sharing distribution amounts, regular and special contributions are taken into
consideration for purposes of calculating the maximum annual contribution, not the other means of
contribution.

4.2.1 – Elective profit-sharing distribution payment

Under the applicable Company elective profit-sharing agreement, the beneficiary of an elective
profit-sharing plan may elect to contribute all or a part of his/her elective profit-sharing
distribution payment.

4.2.2 – Regular contributions in the scope of annual savings plan

The employee participant may make voluntary contributions in the scope of an annual savings plan,
wherein the participant fixes an annual contribution amount at the time of joining the Plan. The
annual contribution amount may be increased or decreased at the beginning of each calendar year,
and shall be equal to a minimum of 160.00 euros per year.

Contributions, divided into four parts, are automatically deducted from the employee’s salary the
last month of each quarter. Contributions can nonetheless be suspended, increased or decreased in
the course of the year, as long as the Human Resources department is notified before the
5th of the month of the relevant suspension, increase or decrease.

4.2.3 – Special contributions

4.2.3.1 –Independent of any regular contributions, a participant may make special contributions to
the Plan.

Capital Increase, the amount of this contribution may not exceed:

(i) Either 10% of the gross salary paid to the participant between March 1, 2006 and August 31,
2006, with the additional limitation that the authorized subscription amount is capped under
section 423(b)(8) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

(ii) Or
the exchange value of 500 “parts” of the Business Objects Relais September 2006 fund.

3

 

The
maximum number of “parts” of the Business Objects Relais September 2006 fund to be purchased by
the participant, within the limits set forth in (i) and (ii), is then multiplied by the total
number of available shares in the scope of the offer and divided by the maximum number of Business
Objects Relais September 2006 fund “parts” to be purchased by all employees, within the limits set
forth in (i) and (ii), and finally rounded down to a whole number.

4.2.4 – Contribution of Company shares resulting from the exercise of options

When the stock option beneficiary consents, subject to the conditions described under Article L.
225-177 or Article L. 225-179 of the Commercial Code, to use the holdings that s/he has under the
Plan to exercise options, the resulting shares assigned to the participant are placed in the Plan.

Article 5
– income, dividend and other tax credits

The income and return on amounts placed in the Plan are automatically reinvested therein. The same
applies to relevant dividend and other tax credits, for which a refund will be requested from the
administration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, certain incomes or products of shares resulting from the
exercise of options in accordance with the Article L 225-177 or Article L225-179 of the Commercial
Code will not be reinvested in the Plan and will be paid to their owners. These incomes and
products are dividends, the avoir fiscal and any other tax credit, as well as the cash resulting
from the sale of the fractional rights under share capital increases by incorporation of profits,
reserves and premiums.
