MCP STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of March 31, 2005 among MCP-MSC Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the investors listed on Schedule 1 hereto (each a “Subscriber”, and collectively, the “Subscribers”).
Recitals
On or about the date hereof, the Company will acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the equity interests of MSC Acquisition, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MSC”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 7, 2005, as from time to time in effect (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, MSC and the other parties thereto.
Under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, dated as of the date hereof (the “Company’s Charter”), the Company is authorized to issue shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
Each Subscriber is willing to purchase, and the Company is willing to issue and sell to such Subscriber, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber on Schedule 1 hereto, all on the terms and subject to conditions set forth herein.
It is anticipated that on or about the date hereof: (i) the Acquisition will be consummated; and (ii) the Company, the Subscribers and certain other Persons party thereto will enter into a Stockholders Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stockholders Agreement”), which shall set forth certain agreements with respect to, among other things, the management of the Company and transfers of its shares in various circumstances.
Agreement
In consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms defined in the Stockholders Agreement and used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used herein as so defined.
2. Sale and Purchase of Subscription Securities.
2.1. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Company hereby agrees to sell to each Subscriber, and by its acceptance hereof such Subscriber agrees to purchase from the Company for investment, on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber on Schedule 1 hereto at the respective purchase prices set forth on Schedule 1. The shares of Common Stock being purchased by the Subscribers hereunder are referred to herein as the “Subscription Securities”.
2.2. The sale and purchase of the Subscription Securities shall take place at the same time and location as, and shall be substantially contemporaneous with, the Closing pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (and as defined therein). If, prior to the Closing hereunder, the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be terminated, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be without further force and effect; provided, however, that no such termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party from liability for breach prior to such termination.
2.3. At the Closing, against payment to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, the Company will deliver certificates for the Subscription Securities, registered in the respective names of the Subscribers.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Subscriber that:
3.1. The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has made available to the Subscribers true and complete copies of the By-Laws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof and the Company’s Charter dated as of the date hereof. Such documents will be in effect in such form on the Closing Date.
3.2. The Company has or prior to the Closing Date will have taken all corporate action required to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of the Subscription Securities.
-2-
3.3. The Subscription Securities, when issued and upon payment of the purchase price therefor, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3.4. Each of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and this Agreement is, or at or prior to the Closing will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.
3.5. Upon the effective time of the Acquisition, and after consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the shares of stock and other equity interests of the Company will be owned, beneficially and of record, by the Persons and in the amounts set forth in Schedule 2 hereto.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Subscribers. Each Subscriber individually (but not on behalf of any other Subscriber) represents and warrants that:
4.1. Such Subscriber has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Subscriber and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subscriber, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof.
4.2. Such Subscriber has been advised that the Subscription Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Such Subscriber is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Subscription Securities (except solely to the extent, if any, provided in the Stockholders Agreement) or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. Such Subscriber is purchasing the Subscription Securities to be acquired by such Subscriber hereunder for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Such Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. Such Subscriber is an “accredited investor”, as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

6.2. The Company shall cause to be kept on an appropriate basis, and each registered holder from time to time of any of the Subscription Securities, other than any holder of Subscription Securities transferred in violation of the Stockholders Agreement or sold in a registered public offering or to the public under Rule 144, shall have access to appropriate books, records and accounts.

Each such partner, designee or officer shall have the right during normal business hours to consult with the directors and executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and to advise such directors and officers on corporate issues; provided, however, that no such partner, designee or officer shall thereby have any right to direct the management or policies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
6.4. As used in this Section 6, the term “equity securities” is meant to include, without limitation, shares of common stock of any class and options or warrants to acquire, upon exercise, common stock of any class.
7. Indemnities. Each Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Subscriber, from and against all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and charges) resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement of such indemnifying party in this Agreement or any misrepresentation by such indemnifying party in this Agreement.

“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A PRIVATE PLACEMENT, WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT COVERING THE TRANSFER OR A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”
-6-

9.4. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and transfer of any Subscription Securities.
