MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC.
2008 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
Reference No. 2008-March 5, 2008
(a) OPTION. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each Notice of Stock Option Grant referencing this Agreement, Magellan Health Services Inc. (the “COMPANY” as further defined below) grants to the Optionee 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) the number of shares of Ordinary Common Stock, $ 0.01 par value per share, of the Company set forth in such Notice of Stock Option Grant, subject to adjustment thereto on account of any change in respect of the shares of Ordinary Common Stock that may be made as provided by Section 7 below (the “OPTION SHARES”). Each such Notice of Stock Option Grant, 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, as pertinent, any of multiple Notices of Stock Option Grant referencing this Agreement may be referred to herein as “THE OPTION AWARD NOTICE.” The option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (as defined below) or a Nonqualified Stock Option (as defined below), as provided in the Option Award Notice.
(a) EXERCISABILITY. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, all or part of the option may be exercised to purchase Option Shares prior to expiration of the option at the time or times, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions, 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.
or the laws of descent and distribution or by a written beneficiary designation accepted by the Company, (ii) by operation of law in connection with a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification or exchange of Shares, reorganization or similar transaction involving the Company and affecting the Shares generally or (iii) with the approval of the Committee, to a member of Optionee’s family, or a trust primarily for the benefit of Optionee and/or one or more members of Optionee’s family, or to a corporation, partnership or other entity primarily for the benefit of Optionee and/or one or more such family members and/or trusts or (iv) with the approval of the Committee, in another estate or personal financial planning transaction; provided, however, that in any such case the option so Transferred shall remain subject in the hands of the Transferee to the restrictions on Transfer provided hereby and all other terms hereof, including the terms of subsection 2(c) above.
SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES.
3
under the Securities Act (or any successor form). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall, if Optionee has given the Company at least 90 days’ notice requesting the Company to register the Option Shares that may then be acquired by Optionee upon exercise of the option in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection and the Company has failed to do so, issue Option Shares to Optionee upon exercise of the option without registration thereof under the Securities Act if (i) Optionee represents, effective on the date of such issuance, in writing in a form acceptable to the Company (A) that such Option Shares are being acquired for investment and not with a present view to distribution, (B) Optionee understands that the Option Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be sold or otherwise Transferred unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect thereto or the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to it, to the effect that such registration is not required, (C) that Optionee has, alone or together with any qualified advisor, such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as is necessary to evaluate the risks of an investment in the Option Shares, is purchasing the Option Shares based on an independent evaluation of the long-term prospects of an investment in the Option Shares and has been furnished with such financial and other information regarding the Company as the Optionee has requested for purposes of making such evaluation , and (D) Optionee is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Option Shares subject to such restrictions on Transfer and (ii) if the Company determines that under the circumstances issuing the Option Shares pursuant to such exercise of the option is lawful; provided, however, that the Company may require, as a condition of such issuance of Option Shares, that Optionee execute and deliver to it such other certificates, agreements and other instruments as in the judgment of the Company, upon advice of counsel, are necessary or appropriate to assure that the Option Shares are issued to Optionee in accordance with the Securities Act and any other applicable securities law and may require that any certificates representing Option Shares so issued bear any restrictive legend appropriate for such purpose. In addition, even if a registration statement under the Securities Act permitting the sale and delivery of Option Shares upon exercise of the option is in effect at the date of exercise, the Company may suspend the issuance of Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of all options issued under the Plan for such period of time as in the judgment of the Company, upon advice of counsel, is necessary in order for the Company to come into compliance with all the reporting requirements applicable to the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act or to otherwise avoid in connection with the issuance of the Option Shares under such registration statement a violation of Sections 10, 11 or 12 of the Securities Act. If the Company suspends the issuance of Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of options issued under the Plan, the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Optionee (but the failure of the Company to give such notice shall not prevent the Company from suspending the issuance of Option Shares as permitted hereby) and, at such time as such period of suspension ends, shall give prompt written notice thereof to Optionee.
SECTION 5. PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.
(a) CASH OR CHECK. All or part of the Purchase Price may be paid in cash or by good check.
(i) Surrender of Stock. Payment may be made 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, such 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 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

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.
