MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Optionee Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Dated: July 17, 2006
SECTION 1. GRANT OF OPTION.
(a) OPTION. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the
Notice of Stock Option Award dated as of July 17, 2006 delivered to Optionee
simultaneously herewith and each other Notice of Stock Option Award referencing
this Agreement (an "OPTION AWARD NOTICE"), Magellan Health Services Inc. (the
"COMPANY" as further defined below) grants to the Optionee, as referred to on
the signature page hereof, as of the Date of Grant (as defined below) an option
to purchase at the Exercise Price (as defined below) a number of shares of
Ordinary Common Stock, $ 0.01 par value, of the Company set forth in the Option
Award Notice, subject to Section 7 below (the "OPTION SHARES"). Each such Option
Award Notice, together with this referenced Agreement, shall be a separate
option governed by the terms of this Agreement and any such separate option may
be referred to herein as "the option" and any of multiple Option Award Notices
may be referred to herein as "the Option Award Notice." This option is intended
to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option, as provided in
the Option Award Notice.
(b) 2006 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN AND DEFINED TERMS. Each option referred to in
an Option Award Notice is granted on the same terms and conditions as provided
for the grant of options pursuant to the Company's 2006 Management Incentive
Plan, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the "PLAN"), a copy of
which is incorporated herein by this reference, and shall be subject to such
terms and conditions; it being understood, however, that the option granted
pursuant to the Option Award Notice dated as of July 17, 2006 referred to above
has been separately authorized by the Company and is not among the options
authorized by and granted under the Plan and that the Option Shares that may be
issued pursuant to such Option Award Notice are not among the shares of Ordinary
Common Stock of the Company, and shall not be counted against, the maximum
number of such shares, that may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 9 below but terms used
herein, if not defined herein, shall have the same meaning for purposes hereof
as provided by the Plan.
(c) SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall apply both to the option and
to the Option Shares acquired upon the exercise of the option.
SECTION 2. RIGHT TO EXERCISE.
(a) EXERCISABILITY. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, all
or part of an option may be exercised to purchase Option Shares prior to its
expiration at the time or times set forth in the vesting and exercise provisions
of the Option Award Notice.
(b) $100,000 LIMITATION. If the option is designated as an Incentive Stock
Option in the Option Award Notice, then the Optionee's right to exercise the
option shall be deferred to the extent (and only to the extent) that the option
would not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option solely by reason of the
$100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of the Code, except that the
Optionee need not defer his or her right to exercise the option if (i) the
Company is subject to an Extraordinary Business Combination Event before the
Optionee's Service terminates, (ii) the Company, or any surviving corporation of
any business combination involving the Company or its parent (a "SURVIVING
COMPANY") does not continue the option, and (iii) any Surviving Company does not
assume the option or does not substitute an option with substantially the same
terms for the option. The failure to defer exercise of the option in order to
comply with this $100,000 limitation as permitted by the foregoing provisions
may, however, result in the option no longer being considered an Incentive Stock
Option. Additional limitations with regard to Incentive Stock Options are set
forth in the Plan.
(c) INJURIOUS CONDUCT. Except as otherwise specifically provided by an Option
Award Notice or by an agreement executed by the Company with the approval of the
Committee, in the event the Optionee has engaged in Injurious Conduct as defined
in, and as determined to have occurred in accordance with, Section 12 of the
Plan (i) the option may not be exercised (even if fully vested), nor shall any
other Benefits accrue to the Optionee under the Agreement or the Plan (including
the lapse of any restrictions on transfer or other restrictions applicable to
Option Shares once issued), prior to settlement in full of all obligations of
the Optionee and the Company related to the option (including completion of the
issuance and delivery to the Optionee of Option Shares upon exercise of the
option and compliance by the Optionee with any restrictions that are applicable
to Optionee under the Plan or this Agreement or the Option Award Notice before
the lapse of any restrictions on transfer or other restrictions applicable to
Option Shares once issued), and (ii) any such unsettled option shall be
forfeited and shall terminate and any such Option Shares subject to any such
restrictions shall be forfeited.
SECTION 3. TRANSFER OF OPTION.
(a) TRANSFERS GENERALLY PROHIBITED. Except as otherwise provided by the Option
Award Notice, this option shall be exercisable only during the Optionee's
lifetime and only by the Optionee. Except as otherwise provided in subsection
3(b) below, this option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not
be sold or otherwise Transferred.
(b) CERTAIN TRANSFERS PERMITTED. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3, this option may be Transferred (i) in the event of the Grantee's
2
death, by the laws of descent or distribution, (ii) by operation of law in
connection with a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification or
exchange of shares, reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company
affecting the Shares generally or (iii) with the approval of the Committee, to a
member of Grantee's family, or a trust primarily for the benefit thereof, or to
a corporation, partnership or other entity primarily for the benefit of such a
family member or trust or in another estate planning transaction; provided,
however, that the option so Transferred shall remain subject in the hands of the
Transferee to the restrictions on Transfer provided hereby.
(c) FIDUCIARY AND SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. As a employee, officer and/or
director of the Company or a subsidiary thereof, Optionee may be subject to
restrictions on his or her ability to sell or otherwise Transfer Option Shares
by reason of being a fiduciary for the Company or by reason of federal or state
securities laws and/or the policies regarding transactions in the securities of
the Company from time to time adopted by the Company in connection therewith.
Nothing contained herein shall relieve Optionee of any restriction on sale or
other Transfer of Option Shares provided thereby and the restrictions provided
herein shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any such other restrictions.
(d) LAPSE OF TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Subject to subsection 3(c) above and unless
otherwise provided by the Option Award Notice, upon the acquisition of Option
Shares pursuant to the option Optionee shall be free to dispose of Option Shares
so acquired in any manner and at any time after expiration of the vesting period
provided by the Option Award Notice.
SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES.
(a) NOTICE OF EXERCISE. The Optionee (or the Optionee's personal representative
or permitted Transferee) may exercise the option by giving written notice to the
Company specifying the election to exercise the option, the number of Shares for
which it is being exercised and the form of payment. Exhibit A is an example of
a "Notice of Exercise". The Notice of Exercise shall be signed by the person
exercising the option. In the event that the option is being exercised by the
Optionee's personal representative or permitted Transferee, the notice shall be
accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative's right
to exercise the option. The Optionee or the Optionee's representative or
permitted Transferee shall deliver to the Company, at the time of giving the
notice, payment in a form permissible under Section 5 below for the full amount
of the Purchase Price.
(b) ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. Subject to subsection 2(c) above, after receiving
a proper notice of exercise and payment for the Option Shares for which the
option was exercised, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or
certificates for the Option Shares as to which this option has been exercised,
registered in the name of the person exercising the option (or, at the direction
of the Optionee, in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community
3
property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in the
entirety).
(c) WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS. The Company may withhold any tax (or other
governmental obligation) arising as a result of the exercise of the option, as a
condition to the exercise of the option, and the Optionee shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all such
withholding requirements. The Optionee shall also make arrangements satisfactory
to the Company to enable it to satisfy any withholding requirements that may
arise in connection with the vesting or disposition of Option Shares purchased
by exercising of the option.
SECTION 5. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
(a) CASH OR CHECK. All or part of the Purchase Price may be paid in cash or by
good check.
(b) ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF PAYMENT. Subject to any provision of the Option Award
Agreement otherwise providing, at the sole discretion of the Committee, all or
any part of the Purchase Price and any applicable withholding requirements may
be paid by one or more of the following alternative methods:
(i) Surrender of Stock. By surrendering ownership of Shares
that are already owned by the Optionee free and clear of any
restriction or limitation, unless the Company specifically
agrees to accept such Shares subject to a restriction or
limitation. In such cases, the Shares shall be surrendered to
the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date of the applicable
exercise of the option. Without the specific approval of the
Committee, the Optionee shall not be permitted to surrender
ownership of Shares in payment of the Purchase Price (or
withholding) if such action would cause the Company to
recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation
expense) with repect to the option for financial reporting
purposes that otherwise would not have occurred.
(ii) Net Exercise. By reducing the number of Shares otherwise
deliverable upon the exercise of the option by the number of
Shares of having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of
the Purchase Price and withholding required to be made by the
Company in connection with such exercise of the option.
(iii) Exercise/Sale. By the delivery (on a form prescribed by
the Company) of an irrevocable direction (A) to a securities
broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver
all or a part of the sales proceeds to the Company or (B) to
pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by
4
the Company as security for a loan, and to deliver all or
part of the loan proceeds to the Company.
Should the Committee exercise its discretion to permit the Optionee to exercise
the option in whole or in part in accordance with subsection 5(b) above, it
shall have no obligation to permit such alternative exercise with respect to the
remainder of the option or with respect to any other option to purchase Shares
held by the Optionee.
SECTION 6. TERM AND EXPIRATION.
(a) BASIC TERM. Subject to earlier termination in accordance with subsection
6(b) below, the exercise period of this option shall expire ten (10) years after
its Date of Grant.
(b) TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Optionee's Service terminates, then the
exercise period for this option shall expire (except as otherwise set forth in
the Option Award Notice) on the earliest of the following occasions (or such
later date as the Committee in a specific instance may determine), but in no
event after the expiration of the ten year period referred to in subsection 6(a)
above:
(i) the date six (6) months after the termination of the
Optionee's Service for any reason other than death, normal
retirement or Disability;
(ii) the date twelve (12) months after the termination of the
Optionee's Service by reason of Disability or retirement
pursuant to any then current formal retirement policy of the
Company; or
(iii) the date twelve (12) months after the Optionee's death.
The Optionee (or in the case of the Optionee's death or disability, the
Optionee's personal representative) may exercise all or part of the option at
any time before its expiration under the preceding provisions of this Section 6,
but only to the extent that the option had become exercisable for Shares on or
before the date the Optionee's Service terminates. When the Optionee's Service
terminates, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of
Shares for which this option has not yet become exercisable.
(c) NOTICE CONCERNING INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION TREATMENT. If this option is
designated as an Incentive Stock Option in the Option Award Notice, it ceases to
qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent
it is exercised (i) more than three (3) months after the date the Optionee
ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or permanent and total
disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), (ii) more than twelve
(12) months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of
such permanent and total disability or (iii) after the Optionee has been on a
leave of absence for more than ninety (90) days, unless the Optionee's
reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or by contract.

SECTION 7. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a) ADJUSTMENT GENERALLY. If while the option remains in effect there shall be
any change in the Ordinary Common Stock of the Company, through merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of
shares for other securities, dividend in kind or other like change in capital
structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to stockholders of
the Company, an adjustment shall be made to the option as determined by the
Committee so that the option shall thereafter be exercisable for such
securities, cash and/or other property as would have been received in respect of
the Common Stock subject to the option had such option been exercised in full
immediately prior to such change or distribution or, if to the extent the
Committee determines that such adjustment in the consideration to be received
upon exercise of the option is not practicable, the Committee shall equitably
modify the option as provided by subsection 7(b) below, and such an adjustment
shall be made successively each time any such change shall occur.
(b) MODIFICATION OF OPTION. In the event of any change or distribution described
in subsection 7(a) above, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of
theOptionee's rights hereunder, the Committee may, in an equitable manner,
otherwise adjust the number and kind of Shares that may be issued under this
Agreement and/or adjust the Exercise Price applicable to the option and/or the
Fair Market Value of the Shares and other value determinations applicable to the
option. Appropriate adjustments may also be made by the Committee in other terms
of the option to reflect such changes or distributions and/or to modify any
other terms of the option, on an equitable basis, including modifications of
performance targets and changes in the length of performance periods relating to
the vesting of the option or any restrictions on Option Shares. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) each such adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock
Option shall comply with the rules of Section 424(a) of the Code, and (ii) in no
event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option
granted hereunder other than an "incentive stock option" for purposes of Section
422 of the Code.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee's personal
representative or permitted Transferee shall have any rights as a shareholder

her personal representative or permitted Transferee becomes entitled to receive
such Shares by (i) filing a notice of exercise and (ii) paying the Purchase
Price as provided by this Agreement, and any such right shall be subject to
subsection 2(c) above of this Agreement.

Agreement is being entered into by the Company in the performance of obligations
under an employment agreement between the Company and Optionee, the Company and
