Each Class H Convertible Share will automatically convert into one Class I Convertible Share in accordance with this Agreement once it has fully vested.

(b) Vesting. Subject to paragraph 2(c):

(i) Each Executive’s Class A Convertible Shares shall become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if, but only if, as of each such date such Executive is and has continued to be employed by or to serve as an officer or director for the Company and its Subsidiaries:

Vesting Date	Cumulative Percentage of Class A Convertible Shares Vested
December 31, 2005	33.3	%
December 31, 2006	66.7	%
December 31, 2007	100	%

None of an Executive’s Class A Convertible Shares shall become vested if such Executive ceases to be employed by, or to serve as an officer or director for, the Company or its

Subsidiaries prior to December 31, 2005. If any Executive ceases to be employed by, or to serve as an officer or director for, the Company or its Subsidiaries on any date other than any Vesting Date set forth in this paragraph 2(b)(i) after December 31, 2005, but prior to December 31, 2007, the cumulative percentage of such Executive’s Class A Cumulative Shares to become vested shall be determined on a pro rata basis according to the number of days elapsed since the immediately preceding Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Listing, all of an Executive’s Class A Convertible Shares which have not previously vested shall become vested and shall convert to an equal number of Class D Convertible Shares upon the occurrence of such event; provided that no Class A Convertible Shares shall vest for any Executive (or Executive’s transferees) upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Listing if the Executive holding such Class A Convertible Shares or from whom the Class A Convertible Shares were transferred is no longer employed by, or no longer serves as an officer or director for, the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of the occurrence of the Sale of the Company or a Listing.

(ii) 33.3% of the aggregate number of each Executive’s Class B Convertible Shares will become vested on each Applicable Class B Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Applicable Class B Valuation Date equals or exceeds 25%; provided that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Applicable Class B Valuation Date is greater than 15%, but less than 25%, the percentage of the aggregate Class B Convertible Shares which will become vested as of such Applicable Class B Valuation Date shall be the percentage determined by multiplying 3.33 by the number by which (A) the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Applicable Class B Valuation Date exceeds (B) 15%. In the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date occurs prior to any Applicable Class B Valuation Date, 100% of the Class B Convertible Shares not previously vested pursuant to this paragraph 2(b)(ii) will become vested as of such Accelerated Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Accelerated Valuation Date equals or exceeds 25%; provided that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Accelerated Valuation Date is greater than 15%, but less than 25%, the percentage of Eligible Class B Convertible Shares which shall vest as of such Accelerated Valuation Date shall be the percentage determined by multiplying 10 by the number by which (A) the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Accelerated Valuation Date exceeds (B) 15%. Vesting with respect to the Class B Convertible Shares shall be cumulative such that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of an Accelerated Valuation Date or any subsequent Applicable Class B Valuation Date is greater than any preceding Applicable Class B Valuation Date, the percentage of each Executive’s entire holding of Class B Convertible Shares vested shall be recalculated to be equal to the percentage vested for such Accelerated Valuation Date or subsequent Applicable Class B Valuation Date (i.e., if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of a preceding Applicable Class B Valuation Date was 15% and the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of a subsequent Applicable Class B Valuation Date is 20%, the aggregate percentage of Class B Convertible Shares vested (inclusive of Class B Convertible Shares already vested as of such preceding Applicable Class B Valuation Date) with respect to both Applicable Class B Valuation Dates shall be, effective as of the subsequent Applicable Class B Valuation Date, 50%). For the

avoidance of doubt, in the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date arises prior to any Applicable Class B Valuation Date, the determination of vesting with respect to all unvested Class B Convertible Shares otherwise eligible for vesting on any subsequent Applicable Class B Valuation Date shall be made solely as of such Accelerated Valuation Date and shall not be re-eligible for vesting as of such subsequent Applicable Class B Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this paragraph 2(b)(ii), no Class B Convertible Shares shall vest for any Executive (or Executive’s transferees) as of any Applicable Class B Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date if the Executive holding such Class B Convertible Shares or from whom the Class B Convertible Shares were transferred is no longer employed by, or no longer serves as an officer, or director for, the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such Applicable Class B Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date.

(iii) 100% of each Executive’s Class C Convertible Shares will become vested on the Class C Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Class C Valuation Date is equal to or greater than 30%. In the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date occurs prior to the Class C Valuation Date, 100% of the Class C Convertible Shares will become vested as of such Accelerated Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Accelerated Valuation Date is equal to or greater than 30%. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date arises prior to the Class C Valuation Date, the determination of vesting with respect to all unvested Class C Convertible Shares otherwise eligible for vesting on the subsequent Class C Valuation Date shall be made solely as of such Accelerated Valuation Date and shall not be re-eligible for vesting as of such subsequent Class C Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this paragraph 2(b)(iii), no Class C Convertible Shares shall vest for any Executive (or Executive’s transferees) as of the Class C Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date if the Executive holding such Class C Convertible Shares or from whom the Class C Convertible Shares were transferred is no longer employed by, or no longer serves as an officer or director for, the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such Class C Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date.

(iv) Each Executive’s Class E Convertible Shares shall become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if, but only if, as of each such date such Executive is and has continued to be employed by or to serve as an officer or director for the Company and its Subsidiaries:

Vesting Date	Cumulative Percentage of Class E Convertible Shares Vested
December 31, 2008	33.3	%
December 31, 2009	66.7	%
December 31, 2010	100	%

None of an Executive’s Class E Convertible Shares shall become vested if such Executive ceases to be employed by, or to serve as an officer or director for, the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to December 31, 2008. If any Executive ceases to be employed by, or to serve as an officer or director for, the Company or its Subsidiaries on any date other than any Vesting Date set forth in this paragraph 2(b)(iv) after December 31, 2008, but prior to December 31, 2010, the cumulative percentage of such Executive’s Class E Cumulative Shares to become vested shall be determined on a pro rata basis according to the number of days elapsed since the immediately preceding Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Listing, all of an Executive’s Class E Convertible Shares which have not previously vested shall become vested and shall convert to an equal number of Class D Convertible Shares upon the occurrence of such event; provided that no Class E Convertible Shares shall vest for any Executive (or Executive’s transferees) upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Listing if the Executive holding such Class E Convertible Shares or from whom the Class E Convertible Shares were transferred is no longer employed by, or no longer serves as an officer or director for, the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of the occurrence of the Sale of the Company or a Listing.

(v) 33.3% of the aggregate number of each Executive’s Class F Convertible Shares will become vested on each Applicable Class F Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Applicable Class F Valuation Date equals or exceeds 20%; provided that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Applicable Class F Valuation Date is greater than 15%, but less than 20%, the percentage of the aggregate Class F Convertible Shares which will become vested as of such Applicable Class F Valuation Date shall be the percentage determined by multiplying 6.66 by the number by which (A) the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Applicable Class F Valuation Date exceeds (B) 15%. In the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date occurs prior to any Applicable Class F Valuation Date, 100% of the Class F Convertible Shares not previously vested pursuant to this paragraph 2(b)(v) will become vested as of such Accelerated Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Accelerated Valuation Date equals or exceeds 20%; provided that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Accelerated Valuation Date is greater than 15%, but less than 20%, the percentage of Eligible Class F Convertible Shares which shall vest as of such Accelerated Valuation Date shall be the percentage determined by multiplying 20 by the number by which (A) the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Accelerated Valuation Date exceeds (B) 15%. Vesting with respect to the Class F Convertible Shares shall be cumulative such that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of an Accelerated Valuation Date or any subsequent Applicable Class F Valuation Date is greater than any preceding Applicable Class F Valuation Date, the percentage of each Executive’s entire holding of Class F Convertible Shares vested shall be recalculated to be equal to the percentage vested for such Accelerated Valuation Date or subsequent Applicable Class F Valuation Date (i.e., if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of a preceding Applicable Class F Valuation

Date was 15% and the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of a subsequent Applicable Class F Valuation Date is 17.5%, the aggregate percentage of Class F Convertible Shares vested (inclusive of Class F Convertible Shares already vested as of such preceding Applicable Class F Valuation Date) with respect to both Applicable Class F Valuation Dates shall be, effective as of the subsequent Applicable Class F Valuation Date, 50%). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date arises prior to any Applicable Class F Valuation Date, the determination of vesting with respect to all unvested Class F Convertible Shares otherwise eligible for vesting on any subsequent Applicable Class F Valuation Date shall be made solely as of such Accelerated Valuation Date and shall not be re-eligible for vesting as of such subsequent Applicable Class F Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this paragraph 2(a)(v), no Class F Convertible Shares shall vest for any Executive (or Executive’s transferees) as of any Applicable Class F Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date if the Executive holding such Class F Convertible Shares or from whom the Class F Convertible Shares were transferred is no longer employed by, or no longer serves as an officer, or director for, the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such Applicable Class F Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date.

(vi) 100% of each Executive’s Class G Convertible Shares will become vested on the Class G Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Class G Valuation Date is equal to or greater than 25%. In the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date occurs prior to the Class G Valuation Date, 100% of the Class G Convertible Shares will become vested as of such Accelerated Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Accelerated Valuation Date is equal to or greater than 25%. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date arises prior to the Class G Valuation Date, the determination of vesting with respect to all unvested Class G Convertible Shares otherwise eligible for vesting on the subsequent Class G Valuation Date shall be made solely as of such Accelerated Valuation Date and shall not be re-eligible for vesting as of such subsequent Class G Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this paragraph 2(b)(vi), no Class G Convertible Shares shall vest for any Executive (or Executive’s transferees) as of the Class G Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date if the Executive holding such Class G Convertible Shares or from whom the Class G Convertible Shares were transferred is no longer employed by, or no longer serves as an officer or director for, the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such Class G Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date.

(vii) 33.3% of the aggregate number of each Executive’s Class H Convertible Shares will become vested on each Applicable Class H Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Applicable Class H Valuation Date equals or exceeds 20%; provided that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Applicable Class H Valuation Date is greater than 15%, but less than 20%, the percentage of the aggregate Class H Convertible Shares which will become vested as of such Applicable Class H Valuation Date shall be the percentage determined by multiplying 6.66 by the number by which (A) the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Applicable Class H Valuation Date exceeds (B) 15%. In the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date occurs prior to any

Applicable Class H Valuation Date, 100% of the Class H Convertible Shares not previously vested pursuant to this paragraph 2(b)(vii) will become vested as of such Accelerated Valuation Date if, but only if, the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Accelerated Valuation Date equals or exceeds 20%; provided that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Accelerated Valuation Date is greater than 15%, but less than 20%, the percentage of Eligible Class H Convertible Shares which shall vest as of such Accelerated Valuation Date shall be the percentage determined by multiplying 20 by the number by which (A) the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of the Accelerated Valuation Date exceeds (B) 15%. Vesting with respect to the Class H Convertible Shares shall be cumulative such that if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of an Accelerated Valuation Date or any subsequent Applicable Class H Valuation Date is greater than any preceding Applicable Class H Valuation Date, the percentage of each Executive’s entire holding of Class H Convertible Shares vested shall be recalculated to be equal to the percentage vested for such Accelerated Valuation Date or subsequent Applicable Class H Valuation Date (i.e., if the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of a preceding Applicable Class H Valuation Date was 15% and the MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of a subsequent Applicable Class H Valuation Date is 17.5%, the aggregate percentage of Class H Convertible Shares vested (inclusive of Class H Convertible Shares already vested as of such preceding Applicable Class H Valuation Date) with respect to both Applicable Class H Valuation Dates shall be, effective as of the subsequent Applicable Class H Valuation Date, 50%). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an Accelerated Valuation Date arises prior to any Applicable Class H Valuation Date, the determination of vesting with respect to all unvested Class H Convertible Shares otherwise eligible for vesting on any subsequent Applicable Class H Valuation Date shall be made solely as of such Accelerated Valuation Date and shall not be re-eligible for vesting as of such subsequent Applicable Class H Valuation Date. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this paragraph 2(a)(vii), no Class H Convertible Shares shall vest for any Executive (or Executive’s transferees) as of any Applicable Class H Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date if the Executive holding such Class H Convertible Shares or from whom the Class H Convertible Shares were transferred is no longer employed by, or no longer serves as an officer, or director for, the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such Applicable Class H Valuation Date or Accelerated Valuation Date.

(viii) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) - (vii) foregoing, as a condition to accelerated vesting of such Executive’s Convertible Shares in connection with a Sale of the Company, such Executive shall, if requested by the purchaser of the Company and for no additional consideration therefor, agree to continued employment for up to 12 months following such Sale of the Company so long as such Executive’s compensation package and job description immediately following such Sale of the Company is substantially similar with respect to remuneration (other than with respect to equity participation), scope of duties, responsibility and job location to such Executive’s compensation package and job description immediately prior to such event.

(ix) The MDCP Co-Investor IRR on any Applicable Valuation Date shall be determined with reference to the Total Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such Applicable Valuation Date, which Total Value (including the components thereof)

shall be determined, to the extent possible, on the basis of the audited annual financial statements for the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period ended on such Applicable Valuation Date and otherwise in good faith by the Company. The MDCP Co-Investor IRR as of such Applicable Valuation Date shall be calculated (A) assuming that on such Applicable Valuation Date, the MDCP Co-Investors are receiving MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows for any Preferred Equity Securities equal to the stated value thereof plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, are receiving MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows in an aggregate amount equal to the dividend or sale preference (if any) on the Class A Ordinary Shares owned by the MDCP Co-Investors, and with respect to their Ordinary Shares are receiving MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows equal to the Total Value multiplied by the percentage of fully-diluted Ordinary Shares of the Company held by the MDCP Co-Investors as of such Applicable Valuation Date and (B) with regard to all sales of equity securities prior to such Applicable Valuation Date by calculating all MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows received or receivable with respect to such equity securities sold prior to such Applicable Valuation Date. The MDCP Co-Investor IRR on an Accelerated Valuation Date that arises as a result of a Sale of the Company shall be determined on the basis of the aggregate MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows received or receivable by the MDCP Co-Investors in respect of all sales of equity securities of the Company by the MDCP Co-Investors through and including such Accelerated Valuation Date (and in the event that the MDCP Co-Investors have not sold all of their equity securities as of such Accelerated Valuation Date, assuming that the MDCP Co-Investors would sell their remaining Preferred Equity Securities at an amount equal to the stated value thereof plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and its remaining Ordinary Shares at the average price per share received or receivable by the MDCP Co-Investors in respect of their Ordinary Shares through such Accelerated Valuation Date and would receive the aggregate dividend or sale preference (if any) on their remaining Ordinary Shares). The MDCP Co-Investor IRR on an Accelerated Valuation Date that arises as a result of a Listing shall be determined assuming that the MDCP Co-Investors will receive MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows on such Accelerated Valuation Date with respect to all of their then-outstanding Ordinary Shares at the gross per share offering price for Ordinary Shares on the date that the Listing becomes effective (the “Offering Price”), will receive MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows in respect of all of their then-outstanding Preferred Equity Securities in an amount equal to the stated value thereof plus accrued and unpaid dividends and will receive MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows in respect of any sale or dividend preference then existing on the Class A Ordinary Shares, determined after giving effect to payment or conversion of such preference in connection with such Listing (with it being understood that all MDCP Co-Investor Cash Outflows and MDCP Co-Investor Cash Inflows for the MDCP Co-Investors with respect to Ordinary Shares sold prior to the date of such Listing shall be disregarded in calculating MDCP Co-Investor IRR on an Accelerated Valuation Date that arises as a result of a Listing).

(x) In determining MDCP Co-Investor IRR for purposes of calculating vesting with respect to Class B Convertible Shares, Class F Convertible Shares and Class H Convertible Shares, as of any date of determination, all Class A Convertible Shares and all Class E Convertible Shares shall be assumed to have vested and been converted into

Class D Convertible Shares, a number of Class B Convertible Shares, Class F Convertible Shares and Class H Convertible Shares that would be vested and convertible as a result of the MDCP Co-Investor IRR calculation as of the date of determination shall be assumed to have vested and been converted into Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares, as applicable, no Class C Convertible Shares or Class G Convertible Shares shall be assumed to have vested and been converted into Class D Convertible Shares, and all Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares (including, in each case, as assumed issued as a result of this sentence) shall be assumed to have been converted into Ordinary Shares. In determining MDCP Co-Investor IRR for purposes of calculating vesting with respect to the Class C Convertible Shares and Class G Convertible Shares, as of any date of determination, all Class A Convertible Shares, Class B Convertible Shares, Class C Convertible Shares, Class E Convertible Shares, Class F Convertible Shares, Class G Convertible Shares and Class H Convertible Shares shall be assumed to have vested and been converted into Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares, as applicable, and all Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares (including, in each case, as assumed issued as a result of this sentence) shall be assumed to have been converted into Ordinary Shares.

(xi) In addition to the vesting otherwise herein described, all or any portion of the Class A Convertible Shares, Class B Convertible Shares, Class C Convertible Shares, Class E Convertible Shares, Class F Convertible Shares, Class G Convertible Shares and Class H Convertible Shares may be vested in the discretion of the Board exercised at any time; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Board provide for accelerated vesting of the Class H Convertible Shares unless it contemporaneously provides for accelerated vesting, on a ratable basis, of the Class B Convertible Shares and Class F Convertible Shares.

(c) Effect of Termination on Vesting. If at any time for any reason an Executive is no longer an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and also is no longer a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such Executive’s Convertible Shares shall be vested and fully convertible with respect to that portion of such Executive’s Convertible Shares that were vested and convertible on the date of such termination (such Executive’s “Termination Date”), and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, any portion of such Executive’s Convertible Shares that were not vested and convertible as of such Executive’s Termination Date shall not vest from and after the Termination Date and shall not be convertible into Class D Convertible Shares or Class I Convertible Shares, as applicable, from and after the Termination Date.

(d) Conversion Procedures for Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares. An Executive may, upon payment in full in cash of the Class D Conversion Price per share, convert all or any portion of his or her outstanding Class D Convertible Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time and from time to time and may, upon payment in full in cash of the Class I Conversion Price per share, convert all or any portion of his or her outstanding Class I Convertible Shares into Class B Ordinary Shares at any time and from time to time. As a condition to any conversion of any Class D Convertible Shares and/or Class I Convertible Shares, such Executive shall provide the Company with such evidence, representations,

agreements or assurances as required by the Management Equity Plan. An Executive shall effect conversion of his Class D Convertible Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class I Convertible Shares into Class B Ordinary Shares by delivering (i) written notice of such conversion to the Company (to the attention of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Secretary), together with such Executive’s written acknowledgment that he or she has read and has been afforded an opportunity to ask questions to the management of the Company regarding all financial and other information provided to or requested by such Executive regarding the Company and (ii) payment (x) in the case of conversion of Class D Convertible Shares, of an amount equal to the product of (A) the Class D Conversion Price per share multiplied by (B) the number of Ordinary Shares to be acquired upon such conversion and (y) in the case of conversion of Class I Convertible Shares, of an amount equal to the product of (A) the Class I Conversion Price per share multiplied by (B) the number of Ordinary Shares to be acquired upon such conversion. Payment of the conversion price for Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares shall be made in cash (including check, bank draft or money order) or, in the sole discretion of the Board, by delivery of a promissory note (if in accordance with policies approved by the Board). No Convertible Share issued hereunder or upon conversion of any other class of Convertible Shares, shall be convertible after the seventh anniversary of the Underlying Date of Issuance. When used herein, the “Underlying Date of Issuance” means (i) with respect to any Class A Convertible Share, Class B Convertible Share or Class C Convertible Share, the date of issuance for such Convertible Share (or in the event that such Convertible Share was issued in exchange for a Convertible Share of Jefferson Smurfit Group Limited, the date of issuance of such Convertible Share of Jefferson Smurfit Group Limited), (ii) with respect to any Class E Convertible Share, Class F Convertible Share, or Class G Convertible Share issued upon conversion of a Class A Convertible Share, Class B Convertible Share or Class C Convertible Share, respectively, the Kappa Completion Date, (iii) with respect to any Class E Convertible Share, Class F Convertible Share or Class G Convertible Share otherwise issued by the Company, the date of issuance of such Class E Convertible Share, Class F Convertible Share or Class G Convertible Share, (iv) with respect to any Class H Convertible Share issued on or prior to the Kappa Completion Date, the Kappa Completion Date, (v) with respect to any Class H Convertible Share issued after the Kappa Completion Date, the date of issuance of such Class H Convertible Share, and (vi) with respect to any Class D Convertible Share or Class I Convertible Share, the date of issuance for the Class A Convertible Share, the Class B Convertible Share, the Class C Convertible Share, the Class E Convertible Share, the Class F Convertible Share, the Class G Convertible Share or the Class H Convertible Share from which such Class D Convertible Share or Class I Convertible Share has been converted.

The number of shares to be redeemed or purchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the shares of Redeemable Stock held by such Executive at the time of delivery of the Redemption

Notice. If the number of shares of Redeemable Stock then held by such Executive is less than the total number of shares of Redeemable Stock the Company has elected to redeem or purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining shares elected to be redeemed or purchased from the other holder(s) of such Executive’s Redeemable Stock under this Agreement, pro rata according to the number of shares of such Executive’s Redeemable Stock held by such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Redemption Notice (determined as close as practicable to the nearest whole shares). The number of shares of Redeemable Stock to be purchased hereunder shall be allocated among such Executive and the other holders of such Executive’s Redeemable Stock (if any) pro rata according to the number of shares of such Executive’s Redeemable Stock to be purchased from such persons.

(d) If for any reason following an Executive’s Termination, the Company does not elect to purchase all of such Executive’s Redeemable Stock pursuant to the Redemption Option, the MDCP Co-Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Redemption Option for the shares of MDCP Redeemable Stock the Company has not elected to purchase in accordance with paragraph 4(c) (the “MDCP Available Shares”) and the Kappa Investor shall be entitled to exercise the Redemption Option for the shares of Kappa Redeemable Stock the Company has not elected to purchase in accordance with paragraph 4(c) (the “Kappa Investor Available Shares”).

As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Redeemable Stock as to the number of shares being purchased from such holder hereunder by the MDCP Co-Investors and/or the Kappa Investor (the “Supplemental Redemption Notice”). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Redemption Notice to the holder(s) of Redeemable Stock, the Company shall also deliver written notice to the MDCP Co-Investors and the Kappa Investor setting forth the number of shares the MDCP Co-Investors and the Kappa Investor are entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction.

(e) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Redeemable Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Redemption Notice or Supplemental Redemption Notice (as the case may be), which date shall not be more than 60 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered.

The purchasers of Redeemable Stock hereunder shall be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding the sellers’ good title to such shares free and clear of any liens or encumbrances).

(f) In the event that the Company, the MDCP Co-Investors or the Kappa Investor elect to exercise rights to redeem or purchase Redeemable Stock pursuant to this paragraph 4, the Company, MDCP Co-Investors and the Kappa Investor shall make all Redeemable Stock acquired pursuant to this paragraph 4 available for sale to any member of the Company’s management approved in accordance with the Management Equity Plan as promptly as practicable after a transferee has been identified in accordance with the Management Equity Plan; provided that the obligations of the Company, the MDCP Co-Investors and the Kappa Investor pursuant to this paragraph 4(f) shall be subject to the management member so identified purchasing the Convertible Shares or Ordinary Shares at the same price, in the same manner and on the same terms on which the Company, the MDCP Co-Investors and the Kappa Investor acquired the Redeemable Stock.

(j) If any Corporate Family Member shall fail to comply with a requirement of the Company made hereunder to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and within a period reasonably specified by the Company for compliance, the Company shall be entitled by 30 days notice in writing to such Corporate Family Member to declare that unless it shall have complied with such requirement to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction within the period of such notice, it shall thereupon cease to be a Corporate Family Member and sub-paragraph (h) of this paragraph 4 shall thereupon have effect.

5. Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Transfer of Executive Stock.

(b) Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions contained in this paragraph 5 shall not apply with respect to transfers of shares of Executive Stock (i) pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution, (ii) to an Executive’s Family Member, or (iii) to Corporate Family Members of such Executive; provided that such restrictions shall continue to be applicable to shares of such Executive Stock after any such transfer and the transferees of such Executive Stock shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Tag-Along Rights. At least 30 days prior to any sale by any MDCP Co-Investor or the Kappa Investor (as applicable, the “Transferring Shareholder”) of Ordinary Shares (excluding any Transfer or series of related Transfers (w) of up to an aggregate of 5% of the aggregate Ordinary Shares held by such Transferring Shareholder as of the Effective Date (in the case of the MDCP Co-Investors) or Kappa Completion Date (in the case of the Kappa Investor) (aggregating all Transfers made on or after the Effective Date or the Kappa Completion Date, as applicable), (x) in a Public Sale, (y) to any of its members or Affiliates or their members, partners, shareholders or Affiliates, or (z) to a member of management of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Excluded Transfers”)), such Transferring Shareholder shall deliver written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to each Executive specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s), the number of shares to be sold and the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. Each Executive may elect to include any Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares in the contemplated Transfer at the same price per share and on the same terms by delivering written notice to the Transferring Shareholder within 30 days after delivery of the Sale Notice; provided that in the event that an Executive elects to transfer Class D Convertible Shares and/or Class I Convertible Shares pursuant to this paragraph 5(c), the price per share paid to an Executive in respect of each Class D Convertible Share and/or Class I Convertible Share shall be reduced by the Class D Conversion Price per share for such Class D Convertible Share and the Class I Conversion Price per share for such Class I Convertible Share and upon such Transfer and the payment of the per share price, each such Class D Convertible Share shall be convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share upon payment of the Class D Conversion Price per share to the Company and each such Class I Convertible Share shall be convertible into one Class B Ordinary Share upon payment of the Class I Conversion Price per share to the Company. If any Executive has elected to participate in such Transfer, each of the Transferring Shareholders and each such Executive shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms (in each case, subject to the proviso to the immediately foregoing sentence), a number of Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the percentage of Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares owned by such Person by (B) the aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares collectively owned by all persons participating in such Transfer and (ii) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to be sold in the contemplated Transfer. For purposes of clause (i) and clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, (x) in determining the number of Class B Ordinary Shares owned by the Kappa Investor, such Kappa Investor shall be deemed to own an additional number of Ordinary Shares determined by multiplying the number of all issued Class D Convertible Shares by the Relevant Proportion and (y) in determining the number of Class A Ordinary Shares owned by the MDCP Co-Investors and the Additional Investors, each MDCP Co-Investor and each Additional Investor

shall be deemed to own an additional number of Ordinary Shares determined by multiplying the number of all issued Class I Convertible Shares by the Applicable Portion of such MDCP Co-Investor or Additional Investor, as the case may be.

For example, if the Sale Notice contemplated a sale of 100 Ordinary Shares, and if the MDCP Co-Investors participating in such Transfer at such time own 40% of all Ordinary Shares and if an Executive elects to participate and such Executive owns 2% of all Ordinary Shares and if other persons owning an aggregate of 10% of all Ordinary Shares elect to participate in the contemplated sale, the MDCP Co-Investors would be entitled to sell 76.9 shares (40% ÷ 52% x 100 shares), such Executive would be entitled to sell 3.9 shares (2% ÷ 52% x 100 shares) and the other persons would be entitled to sell 19.2 shares in the aggregate (10% ÷ 52% x 100 shares).

Each person transferring Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and/or Class I Convertible Shares pursuant to this paragraph 5(c) shall pay his, her or its pro rata share (determined on the basis of consideration received or receivable by such person in such transaction relative to the aggregate consideration received or receivable by all persons participating in such transaction in their capacity as selling stockholders) of the reasonable expenses incurred by the persons transferring shares in connection with such Transfer and shall be obligated to join in any indemnification or other obligations that the Transferring Shareholder agrees to provide in connection with such Transfer (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to another person such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by such other person regarding such other person’s title to and ownership of Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and/or Class I Convertible Shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than with respect to representations and warranties given by such person regarding such person’s title to and ownership of Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares and covenants regarding such person, (x) the aggregate indemnification obligations or other obligations for which such person shall be liable shall not exceed such person’s pro rata portion (determined on the basis of consideration received or receivable by such person in such transaction relative to the aggregate consideration received or receivable by all persons participating in such transaction in their capacity as selling stockholders) of such indemnification obligation or other obligation and (y) in no event shall any holder of Executive Stock be required to assume any indemnification or other obligation in excess of the greater of (A) 50% of the after-tax proceeds received or receivable by such person as a result of such transaction and (B) the aggregate Acquisition Cost for the equity securities sold by such holder in such transaction.

(d) Termination of Restrictions.

(i) The restrictions on Transfer and holding of shares of Executive Stock set forth in this paragraph 5 shall continue with respect to each share of Executive Stock following any Transfer thereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, following the consummation of the Company’s initial Listing, the restrictions on Transfer of Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares set forth in this paragraph 5 shall terminate (A) with respect to Ordinary Shares purchased directly by an Executive (as opposed to issued upon conversion of Class D Convertible Shares and/or Class I Convertible Shares), as of the date of the Company’s initial Listing, (B) with respect to all other Ordinary Shares and Class D Convertible Shares held by a Non-Electing Executive in equal tranches on each of December 31, 2005, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, and (C) with respect to all other Ordinary Shares, Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares held by an Electing Executive in equal tranches on December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010.

(iii) The restrictions on Transfer and holding set forth in this paragraph 5 shall not terminate with respect to any Class A Convertible Shares, Class B Convertible Shares, Class C Convertible Shares, Class E Convertible Shares, Class F Convertible Shares, Class G Convertible Shares and Class H Convertible Shares.

6. Participation Rights.

(a) If the Company proposes to issue any newly issued additional Ordinary Shares (the “New Shares”) to the MDCP Co-Investors, the Kappa Investor or any of their respective Affiliates after the date hereof and the MDCP Co-Investors, the Kappa Investor or such Affiliates participate in such issuance of New Shares, each Executive shall have the right to purchase on the same terms and conditions a pro rata portion of the New Shares equal to the product of (i) the total number of New Shares to be issued, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Class D Convertible Shares and Ordinary Shares held by such Executive as of the date hereof and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of Class D Convertible Shares and Ordinary Shares which are held by all shareholders immediately prior to the proposed issuance; provided that, for purposes of clause (ii) foregoing, the Kappa Investor shall be deemed to own an additional number of Ordinary Shares determined by multiplying the number of all issued Class D Convertible Shares as of immediately prior to the proposed issuance by the Relevant Proportion.

(b) The Company shall give each Executive written notice of any proposed issuance of New Shares (the “Option Issuance Notice”) describing the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue and sell such New Shares. During the 10-day period following the date of delivery of the Option Issuance Notice (the “Election Period”) each Executive may exercise his, her or its right to purchase New Shares in accordance with this paragraph 6, for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Option Issuance Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Shares to be purchased.

(c) In the event that any Executive fails to exercise his right to subscribe for any New Shares which it is entitled to subscribe for under this paragraph 6, the Company shall have 180 days following the Election Period to issue or enter into an agreement to issue and sell the New Shares proposed to be sold at a price and upon terms not substantially more favorable to the

MDCP Co-Investors, the Kappa Investor, their respective Affiliates and other prospective subscribers therefor than those specified in the Option Issuance Notice. In the event the Company has not issued the New Shares or entered into an agreement to issue the New Shares within the said 180-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or otherwise transfer such New Shares without first offering such New Shares to the Executives in the manner provided in this paragraph 6.

(d) If an Executive elects to subscribe for any New Shares pursuant to this paragraph 6, the closing of such subscription shall occur at such time and at such location selected by the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of this paragraph 6 shall not apply to any Excluded Issuances.

7. Additional Restrictions on Transfer. Each holder of Executive Stock agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Executive Stock or other equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of the Company’s equity securities, during the seven days prior to and the 180 days after the effectiveness of any Listing, except as part of such Listing or if otherwise permitted by the Company.

for the equity securities sold by such holder in such transaction and (iii) all holders of Class D Convertible Shares and Class I Convertible Shares shall be given an opportunity to either (A) exercise their rights to convert to Ordinary Shares prior to the consummation of the Approved Sale and participate in such sale as holders of Ordinary Shares, or (B) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, (I) receive in exchange for such Class D Convertible Shares consideration equal to the amount determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per Ordinary Share received by the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Approved Sale less the Class D Conversion Price per Class D Convertible Share, by (2) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of such Class D Convertible Shares, and (II) receive in exchange for such Class I Convertible Shares consideration equal to the amount determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per Class B Ordinary Share received by the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares in connection with the Approved Sale less the Class I Conversion Price per Class I Convertible Share, by (2) the number of Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of such Class I Convertible Shares, as applicable.

(c) Each holder of Executive Stock shall bear his or her pro rata share (determined on the basis of consideration received or receivable by such holder of Executive Stock in such transaction relative to the aggregate consideration received or receivable by all holders of the Company’s equity securities in their capacity as such) of the costs of any sale of Executive Stock pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all holders of Ordinary Shares and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. Costs incurred by each such holder of Executive Stock on his or her own behalf shall not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder.

(i) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Certain provisions of this Agreement are entered into for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the MDCP Co-Investors as provided herein.

(j) Business Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the state in which the Company’s chief executive office is located, the time period shall be automatically extended to the business day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or holiday.

(k) Rights of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate an Executive’s employment, or service as an officer or director at any time (with or without cause), nor confer upon any Executive any right to continue in the employ of, or to serve as an officer or director for, the Company for any period of time or to continue his or her present (or any other) rate of compensation, and in the event of his or her termination of employment or termination of his service as an officer, or director (including, but not limited to, termination by the Company without cause) any portion of such Executive’s Convertible Shares that were not previously vested and convertible shall be forfeited. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Executive any right to be selected again as a Management Equity Plan participant.

(l) Adjustments. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend or stock split, or combination or other change in the Ordinary Shares, the Board may, in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights granted hereunder, make such adjustments in the number and type of shares authorized by the Management Equity Plan, the number and type of shares in respect of which the Convertible Shares granted hereunder are convertible and the Conversion Price specified herein as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable. Any such adjustment shall be subject to confirmation by the Company’s auditors.

(m) Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective, with respect to each Executive, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and each such Executive.

(n) Taxes. The Company shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to withhold (or secure or require payment from an Executive in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax due with respect to any amount payable and/or shares issuable under this Agreement or the Management Equity Plan, and the Company may defer any payment or issuance unless indemnified to its satisfaction with regard to any tax matter for the amounts payable or shares issuable. Each Executive hereby indemnifies the Company for any tax, liability, loss, expense or penalty that the Company incurs as a result of an Executive not paying the aggregate taxes which an Executive is required to pay in respect of the Convertible Shares issued hereunder or the Ordinary Shares issued in respect thereof (including, in each case, upon sale or disposition thereof). Prior to withholding any amount or requiring any indemnification from any Executive, the Company shall consult with the Executive and his tax advisors regarding the withholding and the indemnification requested.

(p) Tax Advice. Each Executive will consult with his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of the Ordinary Shares and the Convertible Shares (it being understood that the Company is not giving an opinion with respect to nor guaranteeing, and shall not be deemed to be giving an opinion with respect to nor guaranteeing, any tax results or consequences). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Company from making any filings or reports it reasonably believes may be required to be made with local governmental authorities in respect of the Convertible Shares or the Ordinary Shares issued or issuable hereunder (including upon sale or disposition thereof).

13. Listing. In the event that the Board and the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares (voting as a single class) then outstanding approve a Listing, each Executive shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Listing as requested by the Company. In the event that such Listing is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the capital stock structure would adversely affect the marketability of the offering, each Executive shall consent to and vote for a recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange of Ordinary Shares into securities that the managing underwriters, the Board and the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares then outstanding (voting as a single class) find acceptable, and each Executive shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange as requested by the Company: provided that the resulting securities reflect and are consistent with the rights and preferences set forth in the Company’s Articles of Association as in effect immediately prior to such Listing.

14. Certificates. In the event that any Executive requests or demands that the Company issue one or more certificates representing the shares of Executive Stock purchased hereunder, the Company may require that the certificate be registered in the name of a nominee or custodian designated by the Company (the “Nominee”), and that, as a condition to such issuance, the Nominee will enter into an agreement with the Company and the MDCP Co-Investor Majority which shall include, among other things, a provision that the Nominee will not Transfer such Executive Stock except in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement (in which case the Nominee shall give prior written notice of such Transfer to the Company and the MDCP Co-Investor Majority) without the prior written consent of the Company and MDCP Co-Investor Majority. In the event that the Nominee does not agree to enter into an agreement with the Company, each holder of Executive Stock irrevocably agrees that the Company shall be entitled to retain the certificates representing such Executive Stock in furtherance of such holder’s obligations hereunder.
