AMENDED AND RESTATED

DEED OF GUARANTY

     AMENDED AND RESTATED DEED OF GUARANTY (this “Amended and Restated Deed”)
dated as of November 24, 2003, by and among UNITED NATIONAL GROUP, LTD., an
exempted company formed with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman
Islands (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Guarantor”),
in favor of the holders of Senior Notes (as defined below) (together with their
successors and permitted assigns, the “Senior Noteholders”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, U.N. Holdings (Cayman), Ltd., an exempted company formed with

Purchaser”), the Guarantor, U.N. Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
U.N. Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, U.N. Holdings Inc., a
Delaware corporation, Wind River Investment Incorporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and the stockholders of the Company (the “Trusts”)
entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Agreement, dated of as
September 5, 2003 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to the terms of which
the parties agreed, among other things, to enter into a transaction in which
the Company would redeem 31.285647 shares of Wind River Common Stock held by
the Trusts in exchange for 5% Senior Notes, due September 5, 2015, in an
aggregate principal amount of $72,848,000 (the “Original Notes”) (such
redemptions, together with the other transactions contemplated by the
Investment Agreement, the “Transactions”);

     WHEREAS, the execution and delivery by the Guarantor of a Deed of Guaranty
dated as of September 5, 2003 (the “Original Deed”) was a condition to the
obligations of the Trusts to consummate the Transactions;

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor had determined that it was in its best interests to
guaranty the obligations of the Company under the Original Notes in favor of
the Senior Noteholders in order to induce the Trusts to consummate the
Transactions, without which the Trusts would not have been willing to
consummate the Transactions;

     WHEREAS, the Original Deed was executed and delivered in connection with
the consummation of the Transactions;

     WHEREAS, the Guarantor has determined that it is in its best interests
that the Original Notes be amended and restated, acknowledges that the
execution and delivery of this Amended and Restated Deed is necessary to induce
the Senior Noteholders to accept the Senior Notes in exchange for the Original
Notes, and has therefore determined that it is in its best interests to amend
and restate the Original Deed; and

     2. Guaranty.

          2.1 Guaranty of Payment. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees to the Senior Noteholders that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid in full when due and payable, whether at the stated or
accelerated maturity thereof or upon any mandatory or voluntary prepayment or
otherwise. The Guarantor’s liability under this Amended and Restated Deed
shall be as a principal debtor and not a secondary obligor. As used in this
Amended and Restated Deed, the expressions “pay in full,” “paid in full” or
“payment in full” mean, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, the final
and indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations
in accordance with their terms.

          2.2 Obligations of Guarantor Absolute, Etc. The obligations of the
Guarantor under this Amended and Restated Deed are absolute and unconditional.
The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting
any such terms or the rights of the Senior Noteholders with respect thereto.
The liability of the Guarantor under this Amended and Restated Deed is absolute
and unconditional irrespective of:

          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Senior Notes;

          (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

          (c) any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Senior Notes
(including, without limitation, any amendment or adjustments that would
increase the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations), or any furnishing or
acceptance of any security, or any release of any security with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations;

          (d) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction
under or in respect of the Senior Notes or nonexercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege under or in respect of the Senior Notes;

          (e) any counterclaim, setoff, recoupment or defense based upon any claim
the Guarantor or the Company may have against the Senior Noteholders;

          (f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment,
composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, any
of its Affiliates, the Guarantor or their respective properties or creditors;

          (g) any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any term
of this Amended and Restated Deed or of the Senior Notes;

-4-

 

          (h) any failure on the part of the Company for any reason to perform or
comply with any term of the Senior Notes; or

          (i) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the
foregoing.

          2.3 Continuing Guaranty. This guaranty is an absolute, unconditional,
present and continuing guaranty of payment and is in no way conditional or
contingent; it shall remain in full force and effect until terminated pursuant
to Section 6.

          2.4 Waivers. The Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, (a) all presentments, demands for performance, notice of
non-performance, protests, notices of protests and notices of dishonor in
connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto;
(b) notice of acceptance of this Amended and Restated Deed; (c) any requirement
of diligence or promptness on the part of a Senior Noteholder in the
enforcement of its rights under this Amended and Restated Deed or under the
Senior Notes; (d) any enforcement of any present or future agreement or
instrument relating directly or indirectly to the Guaranteed Obligations; (e)
notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 2.2; (f) notices of every
kind and description that may be required to be given by any statute or rule of
law; and (g) any defense of any kind that it may now or hereafter have with
respect to its liability under this Amended and Restated Deed to the fullest
extent permitted by law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Senior
Noteholders shall not be required to make any demand upon, or to pursue or
exhaust any rights or remedies against the Company for the Guaranteed
Obligations. No course of dealing and no delay or failure on the part of a
Senior Noteholder in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Amended
and Restated Deed will operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such
Senior Noteholder’s rights, powers or remedies; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right under this Amended and Restated Deed preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights,
powers and remedies provided in this Amended and Restated Deed are cumulative
and no right, power or remedy conferred hereby is exclusive of any other right,
power or remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in
equity, by statute or otherwise. The Guarantor agrees that it will not enforce
or otherwise exercise or claim or assert any rights of subrogation or
contribution against any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or
any security therefor unless and until all the Guaranteed Obligations are paid
in full.

     3. Representations and Warranties.

          3.1 Organization. The Guarantor was duly organized as an exempted company
with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and has all
requisite power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and
assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted or as proposed to be
conducted following the completion of the Transactions.

-5-

 

          3.2 Authorization; Approvals. The Guarantor has all necessary power and
authority to execute and deliver this Amended and Restated Deed and to perform
its obligations under this Amended and Restated Deed. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Amended and Restated Deed by the Guarantor have been
duly and validly authorized by all necessary action, and no other proceedings
on the part of the Guarantor are necessary to authorize this Amended and
Restated Deed. This Amended and Restated Deed has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by the Guarantor and, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery by each other party, constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor it in
accordance with its terms.

          3.3 Noncontravention. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Amended and Restated Deed by the Guarantor do not constitute and will not
result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the organizational
documents of the Guarantor or (ii) a breach or violation of, or default under,
any Law or Contract.

          3.4 Solvency. The Guarantor was and will be solvent, both before and
after giving effect to the Transactions.

     4. Covenants of the Guarantor. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that
until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full:

          4.1 No Restricted Payments. The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit
any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, declare, order, pay, make
or set apart any sum or property for any Restricted Payment, except that the
(i) Guarantor may make payments as dividends in cash in respect of the Series A
Preferred Shares and (ii) each of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries may make
payments as dividends in cash on any trust preferred or similar securities that
it may issue; provided, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), that the Company
shall have made all payments of interest required on the Senior Notes in cash
and that such dividends in the aggregate shall not exceed $5 million per year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) nothing in this Section 4.1 shall prevent
the Guarantor from (i) redeeming the Series A Preferred Shares in accordance
with their terms upon an Initial Public Offering (as defined in the written
resolutions dated as of September 5, 2003 of the Guarantor’s Board of Directors
regarding the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Shares of the
Guarantor), or (ii) paying dividends in kind on the Series A Preferred Shares,
and (B) after such time as the aggregate Principal Amount of the Senior Notes
is less than $18,212,000, the Guarantor may redeem, retire, repurchase or
otherwise acquire the Series A Preferred Shares.

          4.2 Limitations on Affiliate Transactions. The Guarantor shall not, and
shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, engage in
any transactions with FPC or any of its Affiliates or any other Affiliate of
the Guarantor, or make an assignment or other transfer of properties or assets
to FPC or any of its Affiliates or any other Affiliate of the Guarantor except
(i) transactions that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
the Guarantor, are no less favorable to the Guarantor or the applicable

-6-

 

subsidiary as it would obtain in an arms-length transaction with an
unaffiliated third party or (ii) transactions and transfers among the Guarantor
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

          4.3 Provision of Information.

          (a) The Guarantor shall deliver to the Senior Noteholders, as and when
available after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal
year, quarterly financial reports in the form prepared for the Guarantor’s
board of directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Guarantor shall deliver such quarterly
financial reports to the Senior Noteholders within forty five (45) days after
the end of each relevant fiscal quarter (or, if the Guarantor is in good faith
and diligently seeking to prepare and deliver such financial information, at
such later date (not exceeding sixty (60) days after the end of such quarter)
as circumstances may require); and

          (b) The Guarantor shall deliver to the Senior Noteholders, within one
hundred and fifty (150) days after the end of the Guarantor’s fiscal year, the
audited annual financial statements of the Guarantor (including the notes
thereto), including consolidated and consolidating balance sheets, income
statements and statements of cash flow, accompanied by the audit report thereon
of the Guarantor’s independent public accountants.

          4.4 No Merger The Guarantor shall not consolidate or merge with or into,
or sell, assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of
the Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person unless the
person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than
the Guarantor), or to which such sale or conveyance is made, assumes, by
written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Senior
Noteholders, all the obligations of the Guarantor arising under this Amended
and Restated Deed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall not
consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, assign, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as
a whole to any person if a primary purpose of such transaction is to avoid any
restriction on the Guarantor contained in this Section 4.

     5. Notice of Certain Events. The Guarantor shall provide the Senior
Noteholders with written notice of any Event of Default under any Senior Note
promptly following (and not later than five business days following) any senior
officer of the Guarantor obtaining actual knowledge thereof.

     6. Termination of Guaranty. At such time as all of the Guaranteed
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and/or performed in full, then the
guaranty provided for in this Amended and Restated Deed shall terminate,
provided, however, that the guaranty provided for in this Amended and Restated
Deed shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Senior
Noteholders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or
the Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

-7-

 

     7. Miscellaneous.

          7.1 Indemnification. The Guarantor shall indemnify and reimburse the
Senior Noteholders from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses and
other damages of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Loss”) incurred by the Senior
Noteholders as a result of, or otherwise arising out of, any breach by the
Guarantor of any provision of this Amended and Restated Deed, including the
representations contained herein; provided, however, that the aggregate Losses
indemnified by Guarantor pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be limited to an
amount equal to the Guaranteed Obligations less any amounts that have been
indefeasibly paid under the Senior Notes.

Action, and each of the parties irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of
such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such

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

“Board”). The parties shall take all necessary actions as may be required
under applicable law (including voting all Shares and executing written
resolutions of shareholders) to cause the Board, effective from and after the
date of this Agreement, to have, and the parties shall refrain from taking any
action (including voting any Shares or executing any written consents of
shareholders) that would cause the Board, effective from and after the date of
this Agreement, not to have, the following size and composition (the “Board
Composition”):

          (a) The Board shall consist of no fewer than eleven directors and shall
include (i) no fewer than six directors nominated for election by the FPC
Shareholders (which individuals shall initially be Saul A. Fox, W. Dexter
Paine, III, Troy W. Thacker, Angelos Dassios, Michael J. McDonough and John
Hendrickson) (the “FPC Shareholder Nominees”), (ii) for so long as the Trusts
together with any Trust Affiliate Transferees, in the aggregate, beneficially
own 5% of the outstanding Shares, one director nominated by the Trusts (which
individual shall initially be Russell C. Ball, III) (the “Trusts’ Nominee”) and
(iii) a sufficient number of “independent directors” (within the meaning of
Rule 4200 of the Nasdaq Rules)

-7-

 

such that the Board complies with Rule 4350(c)
of the Nasdaq Rules (which individuals shall initially include Edward J.
Noonan).

          (b) The FPC Shareholders may at any time cause any FPC Shareholder Nominee
to be removed from the Board with or without cause at their sole discretion,

parties nominating the director whose death, disability, resignation,
retirement or removal caused such vacancy shall have the right to nominate for
election or appointment a replacement director; provided, however, that, in the
case of the Trusts’ Nominee, such nominee shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the FPC Shareholders (it being acknowledged and agreed that any executive
officer, director or partner of The AMC Group, L.P. or American Manufacturing
Corporation or any respective successor entity shall be reasonably acceptable
to the FPC Shareholders and any nominee’s lack of applicable experience shall
not be reasonable grounds for the FPC Shareholders to object to such nominee).

replacement director, the Board shall not conduct any business until such
nominee has been elected or appointed to the Board.

ARTICLE IV

that the Board shall not record on the Company’s Register of Members any
attempted Transfer of Shares held or owned by any Shareholder to any other
Person, except for Transfers in accordance with this Agreement for which the
Shareholders shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the Board updates
the Company’s Register of Members.

          4.1.3 Obligations of Transferees. No Transfer of Shares that would be
otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective unless (a)
the Transferee shall have executed an appropriate document (a “Joinder
Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company
confirming that (i) the Transferee takes such Shares subject to all the terms
and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as its Transferor was bound
by and entitled to the benefits of such provisions and (ii) the certificates in
respect of the Shares shall bear legends, substantially in the forms required
by Section 4.6, and

-8-

 

(b) such Joinder Agreement shall have been delivered to and
approved by the Company prior to such Transferee’s acquisition of Shares, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.1.3 shall not
apply to a Transfer of Shares validly made pursuant to a Piggyback
Registration, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, or pursuant to Section 4.7, and, at the sole discretion of the
Board, to any Transfer made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.4
or 4.5.

          4.1.4 Prohibited Transfers; Transfers to Competitors. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the consent of the Board,
no Shareholder shall, at any time, directly or indirectly, complete any
Transfer of Shares that (a) would result in the assets of the Company
constituting “Plan Assets” as such term is defined in the Department of Labor
regulations promulgated under the United States Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, (b) would cause the Company to be controlled
by or be under common control with an “investment company” for purposes of the
United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (c) would require the

of such a Competitor (other than Transfers to the
Company and its Affiliates). Notwithstanding clause (d) of this Section
4.1.4, a Transfer to a Competitor is permitted under Section 4.1.4(d) if such
Transfer is made in connection with the exercise of a Tag-Along Right pursuant
to Section 4.4 or in connection with the exercise of a Drag-Along Right
pursuant to Section 4.5, in which event such sale may be effected only in
accordance with Section 4.4 or 4.5, as applicable. Further, this Section 4.1.4
shall not prohibit any Transfer of Shares validly made pursuant to a registered
public offering of Shares or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

          Section 4.2 Compliance with Securities Laws. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Shareholder shall Transfer any Shares unless
the Transfer is made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (a) the
Transfer is effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and in compliance with any other applicable United States
federal and state securities laws and applicable foreign securities laws or (b)
the Transferor shall have furnished the Company with (i) an opinion of counsel,
if reasonably requested by the Company, which opinion of counsel shall be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that
no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act and under any applicable securities
laws of any state of the United States and applicable foreign securities laws
and that the Transfer otherwise complies with any other applicable United
States federal and state securities laws and applicable foreign securities laws
and (ii) such representations and covenants of the Transferor as are reasonably
requested by the Company to ensure compliance with any applicable United States
federal and state securities laws and applicable foreign securities laws.

          Section 4.3 Permitted Transfers.

          4.3.1 FPC Shareholders Transfers.

          (a) Subject to Sections 4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.2, the FPC Shareholders may
Transfer any Shares to any Affiliate of FPC (other than the Company) or any
Person that is an investment fund managed or controlled by FPC or any Affiliate
of FPC (each, an “FPC Affiliate Transferee”).

          (b) Subject to Sections 4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.2, as may be applicable, the
FPC Shareholders and any FPC Affiliated Transferee shall be free to Transfer
Shares to any Person, in whole at any time or in part from time to time;
provided, however, that, if such Person is not a FPC Affiliate Transferee, the
FPC Shareholders shall be required to make such Transfer pursuant to the terms
of Sections 4.4, 4.5 or 5.1, as may be applicable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Transfer of Shares by the FPC Shareholders or any FPC Affiliated
Transferee to all of its respective limited partners or other investors on a
pro rata basis for consideration other than cash, shall not be subject to
Section 4.4.

          4.3.2 Trust Transfers.

          (a) Subject to Sections 4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.2, the Trusts may Transfer any
Shares to another Trust, any Affiliate of the Trusts or to the principal (i.e.
corpus) beneficiaries of any Trust (each, a “Trust Affiliate Transferee”).

          (b) Except as provided in this Article IV, the Trusts and any Trust
Affiliate Transferee shall not Transfer any Shares to any other Person without
the prior written approval of the Company, which approval may be granted or
withheld by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

          Section 4.4 Tag-Along Rights.

          4.4.1 Sale Notice. If at any time the FPC Shareholders or any one or more
FPC Affiliate Transferees (collectively, the “FPC Seller”) proposes to Transfer
any of the Shares owned by the FPC Seller, other than (a) to any FPC Affiliate
Transferee, (b) in a Transfer subject to a Drag-Along Right pursuant to Section
4.5 if the FPC Seller has executed its Drag-Along Right in full, or (c)
pursuant to a Piggyback Registration, then the FPC Seller shall first give
written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the Company and to each Trust, stating
that the FPC Seller desires to make such Transfer, referring to this Section
4.4, specifying the number of each class or series of Shares proposed to be
transferred by the FPC Seller (the “Offer Shares”), and specifying the price,
the form of consideration, name and description of the proposed purchaser
(including controlling Persons) (the “Proposed Transferee”), the other material
terms pursuant to which such Transfer is proposed to be made, and, if the form
of consideration is not solely cash payable in immediately available funds,
cash equivalents or marketable securities, sufficient financial information
regarding the Proposed Transferee in order for the Trusts to reasonably
evaluate the consideration proposed to be delivered.

-10-

 

          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. The
FPC Seller may not consummate any Transfer that is subject to the provisions of
this Section 4.4 unless the Proposed Transferee purchases, within 180 days of
the date of the Sale Notice concurrently with and on substantially the same
terms and conditions and at the same price as the Offer Shares, all of each
Offeree Shareholder’s Tag-Along Shares with respect to such Transfer, in
accordance with their elections pursuant to Section 4.4.2, and subject to the
last sentence thereof (the “Tag-Along Right”). 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

-11-

 

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.

          Section 4.6 Additional Provisions Relating to Restrictions on Transfers.

                    4.6.1 Legends. Each outstanding certificate representing Shares, shall
bear legends reading substantially as follows:

               (a) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A
TRANSACTION THAT WAS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE
UNITED STATES OR UNDER ANY FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN SECURITIES
LAWS.”

               (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. NO
TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE ISSUER
UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH
AGREEMENT.”

                   4.6.2 Copy of Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be filed with the
secretary of the Company, and kept with the records of the Company, and shall
be made available for inspection by any holder of Shares at the principal
executive offices of the Company.

                   4.6.3 Termination of Restrictions. The restriction referred to in the
legend required pursuant to Section 4.6.1(a) shall cease and terminate as to
any particular Shares when, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the
Company, such restriction is no longer required in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state of the United States
or applicable foreign securities laws. The Company or the Company’s counsel,
at their election, may request from any holder of Shares a certificate or an
opinion of such holder’s counsel with respect to any relevant matters in
connection with the removal of the legend set forth in Section 4.6.1(a) from
such holder’s share certificates, any such certificate or opinion of counsel to
be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel. The restrictions
referred to in the legend required by Section 4.6.1(b) shall cease and
terminate as to any particular Shares when, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel for the Company, the provisions of this Agreement are no longer
applicable to such Shares or this Agreement shall have terminated in accordance
with its terms. Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to any
Shares, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company,
without expense (other than applicable transfer taxes, if any, if such
unlegended Shares are being delivered and transferred to any Person other than
the registered

-14-

 

holder thereof), new certificates for a like number of Shares
not bearing the relevant legend(s) set forth in Section 4.6.1.

          Section 4.7 Transfers Pursuant to Rule 144. Notwithstanding Section
4.1.1, following the IPO, the Trusts may effect any Transfer of Shares pursuant
to sales under Rule 144, to the extent available; provided, however, that the
Trusts shall not effect any Transfers under this Section 4.7 if (a) in the good
faith judgment of the Board based on advice from its outside financial
advisors, such sales would interfere with a pending registration or a
registration that the Company plans to file within the next 60 days and (b)
each other Shareholder of the Company is similarly restricted from effecting
any such Transfers.

ARTICLE V

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

          Section 5.1 Piggyback Registrations.

          5.1.1 Piggyback Registrations. 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

-15-

 

proposing to distribute their
securities pursuant to this Section 5.1.1 shall, at the request of the Company,
enter into an agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected by the Company.

          5.1.2 Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant
to this Section 5.1; provided, however, that each Trust shall pay all
underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to
the sale or disposition of such Trust’s Registrable Securities pursuant to a
registration statement effected pursuant to this Section 5.1.

          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

-16-

 

to include any Shareholder’s Registrable
Securities in such underwriting unless such Shareholder accepts the terms of
the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters in
such quantities and on such terms as set forth in Section 5.1.1, and such
Shareholder agrees to sell such Shareholder’s Registrable Securities on the
basis provided therein and completes and/or executes all questionnaires,
indemnities, lock-ups, underwriting agreements and other documents (including
powers of attorney and custody arrangements) required generally of all selling
Shareholders, in each case, in customary form and substance, which are
requested to be executed in connection therewith.

                   Section 5.2 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is
required to use its reasonable best
efforts to effect or cause the registration of any Registrable Securities
under the Securities Act as provided in this Article V, the Company will, as
soon as practicable:

               (a) prepare and file with the SEC the requisite registration

methods of distribution thereof described in such registration statement;

               (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection

of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all
exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such
registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and summary
prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act,
and such other documents as such Shareholder may reasonably request;

               (e) (i) promptly notify in writing each Shareholder that holds
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, (A) when
such registration statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement
thereto becomes effective, (B) of the issuance by the SEC or any state
securities authority of any stop order, injunction or other order or
requirement suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement
(and take all reasonable action to prevent the entry of such stop order
or to remove it if entered, or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose), or (C) of the happening of any event as a result of which the
registration statement, as then in effect, the prospectus related thereto
or any document included therein by

-17-

 

reference includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
and (ii) in the case of an event under clause (e)(i)(B) or (C), promptly
file such amendments and supplements which may be required on account of
such event and use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such
amendment and supplement to become effective;

               (f) promptly furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and for
the selling Shareholders of Registrable Securities copies of any written
request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments or
supplements to a registration statement and prospectus or for additional
information;

               (g) use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement at the
earliest possible time;

               (h) use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement to be listed on the principal
securities exchange or authorized for quotation on Nasdaq, if any, on
which similar equity securities issued by the Company are then listed or
authorized for quotation, or eligible for listing or quotation, if the
listing or authorization for quotation of such securities is then
permitted under the rules of such exchange or the NASD;

               (i) enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter of
such offering in the form customary for such underwriter for similar
offerings, including such representations and warranties by the Company,
provisions regarding the delivery of opinions of counsel for the Company
and accountants’ letters, provisions regarding indemnification and
contribution, and such other terms and conditions as are at the time
customarily contained in such underwriter’s underwriting agreements for
similar offerings (the sellers of Registrable Securities that are to be
distributed by such underwriter(s) may, at their option, require that any
or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements
on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriter(s)
shall also be made to and for the benefit of such sellers of Registrable
Securities);

               (j) make available for inspection by representatives of the selling
Shareholders who hold Registrable Securities and any underwriters
participating in any disposition pursuant hereto and any counsel or
accountant retained by such Shareholders or underwriters, all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent documents and properties of the
Company and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the
Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with a
registration pursuant hereto; provided, however, that, with respect to
records, documents or information which the Company determines, in good
faith, to be confidential and as to which the Company notifies such
representatives, underwriters, counsel or accountants in writing of such
confidentiality, such representatives,

-18-

 

underwriters, counsel or
accountants shall not disclose such records, documents or information
unless (i) the release of such records, documents or information is
ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (ii) such records, documents or information have
previously been generally made available to the public. Each selling
Shareholder of such Registrable Securities agrees that information
obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed
confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market
transactions in the securities of the Company or its Affiliates (or for
such Shareholder’s business purposes or for any reason other than in
connection with a registration hereunder) unless and until such
information is made generally available (other than by such Shareholder
or where such Shareholder knows that such information became publicly
available as a result of a breach of any confidentiality arrangement) to
the public. Each selling
Shareholder of such Registrable Securities further agrees that it
will, upon learning that disclosure of such records is sought, give
notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the records deemed
confidential;

               (k) permit any beneficial owner of Registrable Securities that, in
the sole judgment, exercised in good faith, of such holder, might be
deemed to be a controlling Person of the Company, to participate in the
preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require
the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing,
that in the judgment of such holder, as aforesaid, should be included;
and

               (l) make reasonably available its employees and personnel and
otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the underwriters (taking into
account the needs of the Company’s businesses and the requirements of the
marketing process) in the marketing of the Registrable Securities in any
underwritten offering.

                   The Company may require each Shareholder who is selling Registrable
Securities pursuant to which any registration is being effected to furnish the
Company such information regarding such Shareholder and the distribution of
such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably
request in writing. The Company shall not be required to register or qualify
any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under any
state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions other than as it
deems necessary in connection with the chosen method of distribution or to take
any other actions or do any other things other than those it reasonably deems
necessary or advisable to consummate such distribution, and the Company shall
not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a
foreign entity in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be obligated
to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or
to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

                   Each beneficial owner of Registrable Securities agrees that upon receipt
of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
described in clauses (e)(i)(B) and (e)(i)(C) above, such beneficial owner will
forthwith discontinue

-19-

 

disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such
beneficial owner’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by clause (e)(ii) above, and, if so directed by the
Company, such beneficial owner will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such beneficial
owner’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that
was in effect prior to such amendment or supplement.

          Section 5.3 Indemnification. (a) In the event of any registration of any
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article V, the Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the seller of any
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, its Affiliates,
directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents and stockholders or
members or general and limited partners (and the directors, officers,
fiduciaries, employees, agents and stockholders or members or general and
limited partners thereof), each other Person who participates as an underwriter
or a qualified independent underwriter, if any, in the offering or sale of such
securities, each director, officer, fiduciary, employee, agent and stockholder
or general and limited partner of such underwriter or qualified independent
underwriter, and each other Person (including any such Person’s directors,
officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents and stockholders or members or general
and limited partners), if any, who controls such seller or any such underwriter
or qualified independent underwriter, within the meaning of the Securities Act,
against any and all Claims in respect thereof and expenses (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and any amounts paid in any settlement
effected with the Company’s consent, 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 of the following
actual or alleged statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities
were registered pursuant to this Agreement under the Securities Act or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary, final or summary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
(unless corrected in the final prospectus), together with the documents
incorporated by reference therein, or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of any
federal, state, common law or applicable foreign rule or regulation applicable
to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in
connection with any such registration, and the Company will reimburse any such
indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim
as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable to any such indemnified party in any such case to the extent such Claim
or expense arises out of or is based upon any Violation that occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company

-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.

          Section 6.2 Further Assurances. The parties shall from time to time

instrument in writing signed by the Company, by the FPC Shareholders and by
Trusts holding a majority of the then outstanding Shares held by all of the
Trusts. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company, without the consent of any
other party, may enter into Joinder Agreements in order to add any Person that
becomes a holder of Shares and to reflect Transfers permitted under this
Agreement.

          8.2.2 No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege under this
Agreement. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

         Section 8.3 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective successors and assigns. If any Shareholder or any Transferee of any
Shareholder shall acquire any Shares in any manner, whether by operation of law

conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.

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,

          Section 8.6 Jurisdiction. 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 8.7 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT

          Section 8.8 Counterparts; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may
be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original,
with the same effect as if such signatures were upon the same instrument. A
facsimile or photocopied signature (which may be delivered by facsimile) shall
be deemed to be the functional equivalent of an original for all purposes.
This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a
counterpart of this Agreement signed by the other party. No provision of this
Agreement is intended to confer and shall not confer upon any Person other than
the parties any rights or remedies.

          Section 8.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and
written, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this

the terms of this Agreement and that the parties shall be entitled to specific
performance in such event, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

          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. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the parties hereby acknowledge that the Shares issued in the
Transactions are intended to be uncertificated (the “Book Entry Shares”) and
such issuance will be recorded on the Company’s Register of Members. 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
