        THIS AGREEMENT is made as of November 3, 2003, by and among PFI Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the

"Investors") and Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmetique, S.A., a French société anonyme
("PFDC") and each of the other holders of Registrable Securities who may from time to time become a party hereto by executing a counterpart signature
page to this Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein are defined in paragraph 8 below. 

        WHEREAS,

pursuant to which (among other things) the Investors shall acquire shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock; and 

        WHEREAS,

PFDC shall acquire shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock; 

        WHEREAS,

        WHEREAS,

        WHEREAS,
the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the Closing under the Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement; 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Demand Registrations.    

        (a)    Requests for Registration.    Subject to the other terms and conditions of this paragraph 1, at any time
after the date that is 180 days after the Company has completed an Initial Public Offering (as defined in paragraph 3(a)) the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities may at
any time request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration
("Long-Form Registrations"), and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities may at any time request registration under the
Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-2 or S-3 or any similar short-form registration
("Short-Form Registrations") if available. In addition, subject to the other terms and conditions of this paragraph 1, at any time
after the earlier of (X) 90 days after the date that a Short-Form Registration has been completed at the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
and (Y) six months after the Company becomes eligible to use short form registrations, the holders of a majority of the PFDC Registrable Securities may request one Short-Form
Registration, if available. All registrations requested pursuant to this paragraph 1(a) are referred to herein as "Demand Registrations". Each
request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered, the anticipated per share price range for such offering and the intended
method of distribution. Within ten days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and,
subject to the terms of paragraph (d) hereof, shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other
registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable 

 

Securities
with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company's notice. 

        (b)    Long-Form Registrations.    The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall be
entitled to request three (3) Long-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. A registration shall not count as one of the permitted
Long-Form Registrations until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 80% of the Registrable Securities requested to
be included in such registration; provided that in any event the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration
initiated as a Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such registration has counted as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations
hereunder. 

        (c)    Short-Form Registrations.    In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided
pursuant to paragraph 1(b), (x) the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which
the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses and (y) at any time after the earlier of (i) 90 days after the date that a Short-Form Registration has been completed
at the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities and (ii) six months after the Company becomes eligible to use short form registrations, the holders of a majority of
the PFDC Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request one (1) underwritten Short-Form Registration in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses;  provided that the aggregate
offering value of the PFDC Registrable Securities requested to be registered in any Short-Form Registration
pursuant to this clause (y) must equal at least $2,500,000. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form
and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act,
the Company shall use its best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. 

        (d)    Priority on Demand Registrations.    The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities
which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration is an
underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to
be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting registration, the Company shall include in such registration prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable
Securities the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata
among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder. 

        (e)    Restrictions on Long-Form Registrations.    The Company shall not be obligated to effect any
Long-Form Registration within 180 days after the effective date of the Company's Initial Public Offering or within 90 days after the effective date of any other previous
Long-Form Registration or a previous registration in which Registrable Securities were included pursuant to paragraph 2 and in which there was no reduction in the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included. The Company may postpone for up to 180 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company
and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have (i) a material adverse effect on (or require premature
disclosure of) any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation,
tender offer, reorganization or similar transaction or (ii) a material adverse effect on the Company's business or stock price; provided that in
such event, the holders of Registrable 

2

 

Securities
initially requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted
Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once in any
twelve-month period. 

        (f)    Selection of Underwriters.    The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in any Demand
Registration shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, subject to the Company's approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

        (g)    Other Registration Rights.    The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to, or otherwise
subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any securities of the Company. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any
Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior
written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. 

        2.    Piggyback Registrations.    

        (a)    Right to Piggyback.    Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act
(other than pursuant to a Demand Registration) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback
Registration"), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event within three (3) business days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of demand
registration rights other than under this Agreement) to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to the terms of paragraphs 2(c) and 2(d)
hereof, shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any
related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the Company's
notice. 

        (b)    Piggyback Expenses.    The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the
Company in all Piggyback Registrations. 

        (c)    Priority on Primary Registrations.    If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on
behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which
can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such registration
(i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, and
(iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration. 

        (d)    Priority on Secondary Registrations.    If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration
on behalf of holders of the Company's securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting such registration, the Company shall include
in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration and the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of securities owned by each, and
(ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration. 

        (e)    Selection of Underwriters.    If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the selection of
investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering must be approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration. Such approval shall not 

3

 

be
unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as such investment banker(s) and manager(s) are of recognized national standing. 

        (f)    Other Registrations.    If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to
Registrable Securities pursuant to paragraph 1 or pursuant to this paragraph 2, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company shall not file or cause
to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on
Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least
ninety (90) days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration. 

        3.    Holdback Agreements.    

        (a)   No
holder of Registrable Securities shall effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar
rule then in force)) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, (a) during such period of time (not to exceed
180 days as determined by the underwriters managing such offering) following (i) the effective date of the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock under the Securities Act
(the "Initial Public Offering") or (ii) the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration
(except as part of such underwritten registration), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree in writing. 

        (b)   The
Company (i) shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
such securities, during such period of time (not to exceed 90 days as may be determined by the underwriters managing such underwritten registration) following the effective date of any
underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or
Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree, and (ii) shall cause each holder of at least 2% (on a
fully-diluted basis) of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement
(other than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule then in
force)) of any such securities during such period (except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise
agree. 

        4.    Registration Procedures.    Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable
Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible: 

        (a)   prepare
and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses as may be
necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective
(provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the counsel
selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the
review and comment of such counsel); 

        (b)   notify
each holder of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may 

4

 

be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than 180 days and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; 

        (c)   furnish
to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in
such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller; 

        (d)   use
its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably
requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller (provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would
not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction); 

        (e)   notify
each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable
Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

        (f)    cause
all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed,
to be listed on the NASD automated quotation system and, if listed on the NASD automated quotation system, use its best efforts to secure designation of all such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement as a NASDAQ "national market system security" within the meaning of Rule 11Aa2-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission or, failing that, to secure NASDAQ
authorization for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable
Securities with the NASD; 

        (g)   provide
a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement; 

        (h)   enter
into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including effecting a stock split
or a combination of shares); 

        (i)    make
available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such
registration statement; 

        (j)    otherwise
use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders,
as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company's first full calendar quarter after the effective
date of the registration statement, 

5

 

which
earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 

        (k)   permit
any holder of Registrable Securities which holder, in its reasonable judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or 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, which in the reasonable judgment of
such holder and its counsel should be included; 

        (l)    in
the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related
prospectus or suspending the qualification of any common stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use its best efforts promptly to obtain the
withdrawal of such order; 

        (m)  use
its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other United States
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and 

        (n)   obtain
a cold comfort letter from the Company's independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold
comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request (provided that such Registrable Securities constitute at least 10% of the securities covered by
such registration statement). 

        5.    Registration Expenses.    

        (a)   All
expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation all registration, qualification and filing fees,
fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called
"Registration Expenses"), shall be borne by the Company as provided in this Agreement, and the Company shall also pay all of its internal expenses
(including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any
liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or on the NASD
automated quotation system. 

        (b)   In
connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such
registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration and for the reasonable fees and
disbursements of each additional counsel retained by any holder of Registrable Securities for the purpose of rendering a legal opinion on behalf of such holder in connection with any underwritten
Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration. 

        6.    Indemnification.    

        (a)   The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such
holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state
securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection 

6

 

with
any such registration, qualification or compliance, and to pay to each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of
the Securities Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action,
except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of
the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an
underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same
extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities. 

        (b)   In
connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such
information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company,
its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several,
for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. 

        (c)   Any
Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks
indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party)
and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any
liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to,
assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in
the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance,
the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of
the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. 

        (d)   The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party
or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by
any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company's indemnification is unavailable for any reason. 

        7.    Participation in Underwritten Registrations.    No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is
underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the 

7

 

basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder
of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and
warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as
otherwise provided in paragraph 6 hereof.

or Persons shall be allocated a majority of limited liability company, partnership, association or other business entity gains or losses or shall be or control any managing director or general partner
of such limited liability company, partnership, association or business entity. 

        9.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)    Remedies.    Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such
rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.
The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies
existing in its favor, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other
security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement. 

        (b)    Amendments and Waivers.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended
or waived only upon the prior written consent of the Company and holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that no such amendment,
modification or waiver that would (i) terminate or amend the rights of the holders of a majority of the PFDC Registrable Securities to request one Short-Form Registration pursuant
to paragraph 1 above or (ii) adversely treat PFDC in a manner different than the Investors, shall be effective against PFDC without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority
of the PFDC Registrable Securities (with it being understood that the addition of new parties to this Agreement as Investors or holders of other Registrable Securities shall in no event require the
consent of any of the other stockholders party hereto). The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and
shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. If the Company pays any consideration to any holder of
Registrable Securities for such holder's consent to any amendment, modification or waiver hereunder, the Company will also pay each other holder granting its consent hereunder equivalent consideration
computed on a pro rata basis. 

        (c)    Successors and Assigns.    All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties
hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made,
the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of purchasers or holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of Registrable
Securities. 

        (d)    Severability.    Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement. 

        (e)    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which
need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. 

        (f)    Descriptive Headings.    The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do
not constitute a part of this Agreement. 

        (g)    Governing Law.    The corporate law of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues and questions concerning
the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. All other issues and 

9

 

questions
concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. 

        (h)    Notices.    All notices, demands and other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when personally delivered, sent by telecopy (with hard copy to follow) upon receipt of mechanical
confirmation of delivery, (ii) for deliveries within the continental United States, one day following the day when deposited with a reputable and established overnight express courier (charges
prepaid), (iii) for overseas deliveries, five days following the day when deposited with a reputable and established overnight express courier (charges prepaid), or (iv) for deliveries
within the continental United States, five days following mailing by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested. Such notices, demands and other communications shall be

the Schedule of PFDC Holders attached hereto, and to the Company at the

Exhibit 10.8    
    

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT  

        THIS AGREEMENT is made as of November 3, 2003, by and between PFI Holdings Corp. (the "Company"), and
Claude Gros ("PFDC Director"). 

        WHEREAS,
the Company and certain stockholders of the Company have entered into that certain Stockholders Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Stockholders
Agreement"); 

        WHEREAS,
the stockholders of the Company identified on Schedule II of the Stockholders Agreement (the "PFDC
Stockholders") desire to elect the PFDC Director as a director of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement; 

        WHEREAS,
the terms of the Stockholders Agreement contemplate that a designee of the PFDC Stockholders will enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Company; and 

        WHEREAS,
PFDC Director acknowledges and agrees with the Company that he has and may obtain knowledge of Company's and its Subsidiaries' trade secrets and other Proprietary Information
(as defined in Section 1(b) below) that the Company has made reasonable efforts to keep confidential and that the Company derives independent
economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use ("Trade
Secrets"). 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Company and the PFDC Director hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Nondisclosure and Nonuse of Proprietary Information.    

        (a)   PFDC
Director agrees that he shall not disclose or use, either while he is a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or thereafter, any Proprietary
Information (as defined below) of which he is or becomes aware, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to his duties as a director to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. The foregoing shall not, however, prohibit disclosure by PFDC Director of Proprietary Information (a) that was in the public domain prior to its disclosure to PFDC Director or
afterwards (but in any event prior to disclosure by PFDC Director) other than as a result of disclosure by PFDC Director, the PFDC Stockholders or any of their Affiliates, (b) which becomes
available to you on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives, (c) that is authorized or
permitted by the Company in writing to be disclosed by PFDC Director or (d) to the extent PFDC Director can show proof that such information is compelled to be disclosed by judicial or
administrative process or, based on the advice of other legal counsel, by other requirements of law and then still subject to the provisions of this Addendum to the extent permitted by law;  provided that PFDC Director shall, to the extent, practicable, provide prior notice of such disclosure to the Company. Information shall not be deemed
to have been published merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising such information have been published in
combination. Additionally, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit PFDC Director from disclosing Proprietary Information to the PFDC Stockholders or their affiliates, provided that the
recipients agree for the benefit of the Company to keep such information confidential and not use such information and except that PFDC Director shall not disclose any Proprietary Information that
constitutes competitively sensitive materials or information (including pricing and marketing plans and proposals and other competitively or strategically sensitive information or data) the disclosure
to, or use of which by, PFDC or any of its Affiliates could reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to or jeopardize in any material respect the competitive position of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, in each case as determined by the Board or the Majority Stockholders in their reasonable discretion. 

 

        (b)   As
used in this Agreement, the term "Proprietary Information" means all information of a confidential or proprietary
nature (whether or not specifically labeled or identified as "confidential"), in any form or medium, that relates to or results from the business, historical or projected financial results, products,
services or research or development of the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective suppliers, distributors, customers, independent contractors or other business relations. Proprietary
Information includes, but is not limited to, the following: (i) internal business information (including historical and projected financial information and budgets and information relating to
strategic and staffing plans and practices, business, training, marketing, promotional and sales plans and practices, cost, rate and pricing structures and accounting and business methods);
(ii) identities of, individual requirements of, specific contractual arrangements with, and information about, the Company's and its subsidiaries' suppliers, distributors, customers,
independent contractors or other business relations and their confidential information; and (iii) Trade Secrets, technology, know-how, product formulas, and research and
development. 

        2.    Delivery of Materials Upon Termination of Relationship with the Company.    As requested by the Company from
time to time after PFDC Director is no longer a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, PFDC Director shall promptly deliver to the Company all copies and embodiments, in whatever form, of
all Proprietary Information in PFDC Director's possession or within his control and, if requested by the Company, shall provide the Company with written confirmation that all such materials have been
delivered to the Company. 

        3.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement. 

        4.    Choice of Law.    All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement and the exhibits hereto shall be governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of California. 

        5.    Defined Terms.    Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributable to such
terms in the Stockholders Agreement. 

*    *    *    *    *
