4.4.2 Tag-Along Election. Within ten business days of the date of receipt of the Sale Notice, each Trust shall deliver to the FPC Seller and to the Company a written notice stating whether such Trust elects to sell a pro rata portion of its Shares (any Trust that chooses to exercise such right, an “Offeree Shareholder”) (equal to (a) the total number of Shares owned by such Trust, multiplied by (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of Offer Shares and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by the FPC Shareholders and any FPC Affiliate Transferees) to such Proposed Transferee on the same terms, purchase price and conditions as the FPC Seller (with respect to each Trust, its “Tag-Along Shares”). An election pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.4.2 shall constitute an irrevocable commitment by the Offeree Shareholder making such election to sell such Tag-Along Shares to the Proposed Transferee if the sale of Offer Shares to the Proposed Transferee occurs on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice. Such terms may include a maximum number of Shares such Proposed Transferee is willing to purchase, and, in such case, the FPC Seller and the Offeree Shareholders shall be cut back pro rata based on the number of Shares the FPC Seller and the Offeree Shareholders are seeking to sell.
4.4.3 Rights to Transfer. (a) Third-Party Sale; Tag-Along Buyer.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, the price received by the FPC Seller shall be deemed to include all compensation of any nature and type as is received by the FPC Seller and its Affiliates in respect of the Offer Shares and any non-competition covenants and similar matters, but shall not include any commercially reasonable consideration for bona fide consulting, financial, investment banking or similar services.
(b) Sale Agreement. Each Offeree Shareholder electing to sell Tag-Along Shares (a “Tag-Along Seller”) agrees to cooperate in consummating such a Transfer, including by becoming a party to the sale agreement and all other appropriate related agreements, delivering, at the consummation of such Transfer, the share certificates (if any) and other instruments of transfer for such Shares duly endorsed for transfer, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and voting or consenting in favor of such transaction (to the extent a vote or consent is required) and taking any other necessary or appropriate action in furtherance thereof, including the execution and delivery of any other appropriate agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents. Each Tag-Along Seller shall be severally responsible for its proportionate share of the third-party expenses of the Transfer incurred by the FPC Seller in connection with such Transfer and the monetary obligations and liabilities incurred by the FPC Seller in connection with such sale. Such monetary obligations and liabilities shall include (to the extent such obligations are incurred by the FPC Seller) obligations and liabilities for indemnification with respect to breaches of representations and warranties made in connection with such Transfer by the Company or by the FPC Seller and any Tag-Along Sellers with respect to the Company or the Company’s business, and shall also

include amounts paid into escrow or subject to holdbacks, and amounts subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments; provided, however, that all such obligations are equally applicable on a several and not joint basis to the FPC Seller and each Tag-Along Seller based on the consideration received by the FPC Seller and such Tag-Along Seller. The foregoing notwithstanding, (i) without the written consent of a Tag-Along Seller, the amount of such obligations and liabilities for which such Tag-Along Seller shall be responsible shall not exceed the gross proceeds received by such Tag-Along Seller in such Transfer, and (ii) a Tag-Along Seller shall not be responsible for the fraud of the FPC Seller or any other Tag-Along Seller or for any indemnification obligations and liabilities for breaches of representations and warranties made by the FPC Seller or any other Tag-Along Seller with respect to such other seller’s (A) ownership of and title to Shares, (B) organization, (C) authority or (D) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other seller, or for breaches of any covenants made by the FPC Seller or any other Tag-Along Seller.
(c) No Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 4.4.3, there shall be no liability on the part of the Company or the FPC Seller in the event that any Transfer of Offer Shares pursuant to this Section 4.4.3 is not consummated for any reason whatsoever. The decision whether to effect a Transfer subject to this Section 4.4.3 shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the FPC Seller.
4.4.4 Intention of the Parties. The parties acknowledge that the intention of this Section 4.4 (together with Section 5.1) is to assure that the Trusts have the ability to liquidate their Shares in amounts and at times that are related to the amounts and times at which the FPC Shareholders and any FPC Affiliate Transferee achieves, directly or indirectly, liquidity with respect to any or all of their investment in the Company. The parties accordingly agree that upon any direct or indirect Transfer of equity interests of the FPC Shareholders or any FPC Affiliate Transferee (other than to an FPC Affiliate Transferee), the Trusts shall have rights in connection with such Transfer that are comparable to those rights that it would have been afforded had the FPC Shareholders or the FPC Affiliate Transferee directly Transferred a proportionate amount of its interest in the Company.
Section 4.5 Drag-Along Right.
4.5.1 Exercise. If at any time an FPC Seller proposes to make a Transfer, in a bona fide arm’s-length sale transaction or series of related sale transactions to a Person that is not an FPC Affiliate Transferee, of Shares representing (together with any Shares to be sold by a Drag-Along Seller under this Section 4.5) at least 50% of the outstanding Shares to a Proposed Transferee (the “Drag-Along Sale”), including pursuant to a share sale, merger, business combination, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization, restructuring or similar transaction, the FPC Seller shall have the right (a “Drag-Along Right”), exercisable upon 15 days’ prior written notice to the Trusts, to require the Trusts to sell a number of Shares equal to (a) the total number of Shares owned by such Trust, multiplied by (b) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of Shares the FPC Seller proposes to sell to the Proposed Transferee and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by the FPC Shareholders and any FPC Affiliate Transferees, to the Proposed Transferee on the
-12-
same terms and conditions (including the same proportions of each class or series of Shares) and at the same price as the FPC Seller would receive in connection with such transaction. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the price received by the FPC Seller shall be deemed to include all compensation of any nature and type as is received by the FPC Seller and its Affiliates in respect of the Shares to be sold by the FPC Seller and any non-competition covenants and similar matters, but shall not include any commercially reasonable consideration for bona fide consulting, financial, investment banking or similar services.
4.5.2 Sale Agreement. Each Trust selling Shares pursuant to a transaction contemplated by this Section 4.5 (each such Trust, a “Drag-Along Seller”) agrees to cooperate in consummating such a Transfer, including, without limitation, by becoming a party to the sale agreement and all other appropriate related agreements, delivering, at the consummation of such Transfer, the share certificates (if any) and other instruments of transfer for such Shares duly endorsed for transfer, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and voting or consenting in favor of such transaction (to the extent a vote or consent is required) and taking any other necessary or appropriate action in furtherance thereof, including the execution and delivery of any other appropriate agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents. Each Drag-Along Seller shall be severally responsible for its proportionate share of the third-party expenses of the Transfer incurred by the FPC Seller in connection with such Transfer and the monetary obligations and liabilities incurred by the FPC Seller in connection with such Transfer. Such monetary obligations and liabilities shall include (to the extent such obligations are incurred by the FPC Seller) obligations and liabilities for indemnification with respect to breaches of representations and warranties made in connection with such Transfer by the Company or by the FPC Seller and any Drag-Along Sellers with respect to the Company or the Company’s business, and shall also include amounts paid into escrow or subject to holdbacks, and amounts subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments; provided, however, that all such obligations are equally applicable on a several and not joint basis to the FPC Seller and each Drag-Along Seller based on the consideration received by the FPC Seller and such Drag-Along Seller. The foregoing notwithstanding, (i) without the written consent of a Drag-Along Seller, the amount of such obligations and liabilities for which such Drag-Along Seller shall be responsible shall not exceed the gross proceeds received by such Drag-Along Seller in such Transfer, and (ii) a Drag-Along Seller shall not be responsible for the fraud of the FPC Seller or any other Drag-Along Seller or for any indemnification obligations and liabilities for breaches of representations and warranties made by the FPC Seller or any other Drag-Along Seller with respect to such other seller’s (A) ownership of and title to Shares, (B) organization, (C) authority or (D) conflicts and consents and any other matter concerning such other seller, or for breaches of any covenants made by the FPC Seller or any other Drag-Along Seller.
4.5.3 No Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 4.5, there shall be no liability on the part of the Company or the FPC Seller in the event that the Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.5 is not consummated for any reason whatsoever. The decision whether to effect a Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the FPC Seller.

(b) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 5, 2003, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER OR FROM THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE.

If at any time (a) either (i) the Company proposes to register for sale by the Company under the Securities Act any Common Shares (other than a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor or similar forms) in a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, and (ii) the FPC Shareholders or any FPC Affiliate Transferee or any other shareholder proposes to sell Registrable Securities in such registered sale, or (b) the Company proposes to register for sale by any FPC Shareholder or any FPC Affiliate Transferee to the public under the Securities Act any Registrable Securities, the Company shall each such time promptly give written notice to any Trust that beneficially owns any Registrable Securities of its intention to do so, of the registration form of the SEC that has been selected by the Company and of such holders’ rights under this Section 5.1 (the “Piggyback Notice”). Subject to Section 5.1.4, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include, and to cause the underwriter or underwriters, if applicable, to include, in the proposed offering, on the same terms and conditions as the Common Shares proposed to be sold by the Company, the FPC Shareholders or FPC Affiliate Transferees and any other shareholder in such offering, all Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested in writing, within 15 calendar days after the Piggyback Notice is given, to register by the holders thereof (each such registration pursuant to this Section 5.1.1, a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that (a) if, at any time after giving a Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such Common Shares, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to all Trusts who beneficially own any Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned registration, and (b) in case of a determination by the Company to delay registration of its Common Shares the Company shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other Common Shares. In the case of any registration of Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 5.1.1, all Shareholders

5.1.3 Priority in Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter for a registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall advise the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number (the “Maximum Sale Number”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company or the shareholder for which such registration was initially proposed to be effected, the Company shall include in such offering the following Common Shares: (a) first, all the Common Shares, if any, the Company proposes to register for its own sale, and (b) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included by all Shareholders (or if the number of such Registrable Securities exceeds the Maximum Sale Number less the number of Common Shares included pursuant to clause (a) above, then the number of such Registrable Securities included in such registration pursuant to this clause (b) shall be equal to the excess of the Maximum Sale Number over the number of Common Shares included pursuant to clause (a) above and shall be allocated pro rata among all requesting Shareholders, on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities each such Shareholder had requested to have included in such registration). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time such proposed registration is be effective, the Registrable Securities proposed to be included by the Trusts in such registration are eligible for sale to the public under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, the Company shall include in such offering the following Common Shares: (i) first, all the Common Shares, if any, the Company proposes to register for its own sale, (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included by the FPC Shareholders (or if the number of such Registrable Securities exceeds the Maximum Sale Number less the number of Common Shares included pursuant to clause (i) above, then the number of such Registrable Securities included in such registration pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be equal to the excess of the Maximum Sale Number over the number of Common Shares included pursuant to clause (i) above); and (iii) third , all Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Trusts (or if the number of such Registrable Securities exceeds the Maximum Sale Number less the number of Common Shares included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, then the number of such Registrable Securities included in such registration pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be equal to the excess of the Maximum Sale Number over the number of Common Shares included pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above).
5.1.4 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving any underwriting of securities in a Piggyback Registration, the Company shall not be required

-20-
or its representatives by or on behalf of such indemnified party expressly stating that such information is for use therein.
(b) Each holder of Registrable Securities that are included in the securities as to which any Piggyback Registration is being effected (and, if the Company requires as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in connection with any Piggyback Registration, any underwriter and qualified independent underwriter, if any) shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 5.3(a)), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents and shareholders (and the directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents and shareholders or members or general and limited partners thereof) and each Person (including any such Person’s directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents and stockholders or members or general and limited partners), if any, controlling the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and all other prospective sellers and their directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents and shareholders or general and limited partners and respective controlling Persons (including any such Person’s directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents and shareholders or members or general and limited partners) against any and all Claims and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to which each such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims or expenses arise out of or are based upon any Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or its representatives by or on behalf of such holder of Registrable Securities, expressly stating that such information is for use in connection with any registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement or document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3(b) to the contrary, no indemnifying party shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) to contribute any amount in excess of the gross proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Claims of the indemnified parties relate.
(c) Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each seller of Registrable Securities (and, if the Company requires as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in connection with any Piggyback Registration, any underwriter and qualified independent underwriter, if any) with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any securities or “blue sky” laws of any state of the United States or applicable foreign laws.
(d) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 5.3, but the failure of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5.3,
-21-
except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.3. In case any action or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, unless in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party that it so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within 20 calendar days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so; or (ii) if such indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding that is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to such party or parties that are not available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any expenses therefor. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any Claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or nor the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such Claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such Claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(b) or 5.3(c), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party and any other indemnifying party on the other hand from the relevant offering of securities. If, however, the allocation provided in the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required by Section 5.3(d) above and the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
-22-
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault of but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, including the extent of such prejudice. The relative fault shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the Violation relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Violation. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 5.3(e). The amount paid or payable in respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3(e) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) to contribute any amount in excess of the gross proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Claims of the indemnified parties relate.
(f) The indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party and the termination of this Agreement.
(g) The indemnification and contribution required by this Section 5.3 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
(h) In connection with underwritten offerings, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to negotiate terms of indemnification that are reasonably favorable to the various sellers pursuant thereto, as appropriate under the circumstances.
Section 5.4 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Shareholders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC, which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, at all times after 90 days after any registration statement covering a public offering of Common Shares under the Securities Act shall have become effective, or at all times after the Common Shares shall initially be registered pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company shall at its cost and expense use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the filing requirements described in Rule 144(c)(1).
-23-
Section 5.5 Lock-Up Agreement. If requested in writing by the Company or the underwriter of any underwritten offering including the IPO, each Shareholder agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, of any Registrable Securities or any other Equity Security (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering) within 14 calendar days before or 180 calendar days after the effective date of a registration statement or for such shorter period as the sole or lead managing underwriter or the Company shall request, in any such case, unless consented to by such underwriter or the Company, as applicable.

Except as contemplated by Section 7.1.1, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to Shares, to any and all other share capital of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) that may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of, Shares, or that may be issued by reason of any share dividend, share split, reverse share split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any of such events, numbers of Shares and amounts under this Agreement and any other appropriate terms shall be appropriately adjusted, as determined in good faith by the Board.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any suit, action or other proceeding (“Action”) seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any Delaware State court, so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, and each of the parties irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Action in any such court or that any such Action that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Action may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 8.1 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 8.12 Severability. If this Agreement, or any of its provisions, or the performance of any provision, is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall be
-28-
excused from the performance of such portions of this Agreement as shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall in their totality constitute a commercially reasonable agreement.
Section 8.13 Trustees. All actions under or pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustees are in their respective capacities as trustees under the Trusts and not as individuals.
Section 8.14 Uncertificated Shares.

With respect to the Book Entry Shares, the provisions of the Agreement regarding share certificates shall be deemed modified as necessary to effect the intentions of the parties. Following the Transfer of any Book Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Shareholders shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the directors of the Company update the Company’s Register of Members to reflect such Transfer of Book Entry Shares. Within a reasonable time after any Transfer of such Book Entry Shares, the Company shall send to the new registered owner of such Book Entry Shares a written notice containing the information required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to be set forth or stated on share certificates.
