ROLLOVER & SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This Rollover & Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of February 6, 2006 among CRCA Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and each of the investors in CRC Health Group, Inc. (the “Target”) listed on a signature page hereto as holding Rollover Options (each an “Option Investor” and, collectively, the “Option Investors” or the “Investors”).

RECITALS

The Company was formed in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 8, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Target, the Company, and CRCA Merger Corporation (“MergerCo”). CRC Intermediate Holdings, Inc. (“Intermediate Holdings”) has been formed by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”).

The Company owns all of the common stock of Intermediate Holdings, which owns all of the shares of MergerCo.

Under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and in effect on the date hereof (the “Company’s Charter”), the Company is authorized to issues shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Class A Common”), and Class L Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Class L Common”).

Each of the Option Investors holds options to purchase shares of capital stock of the Target. Immediately prior to the Closing under the Merger Agreement, the Option Investors will severally contribute a portion of such options (the “Rollover Options”) to the Company in exchange for options to purchase Units (with each Unit consisting of 9 shares of Class A Common and 1 share of Class L Common) (the “Substitute Options” or the “Subject Securities”) of the Company. Each Option Investor is willing to contribute, and the Company is willing to issue to such Option Investor in substitution for such Option Investor’s Rollover Options, such number of Substitute Options as permitted by Section 409A Rollover Law and as set forth on the signature page hereto of such Option Investor, all on the terms and subject to conditions set forth herein. For all purposes hereunder “Section 409A Rollover Law” shall mean Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and guidance issued thereunder (or applicable thereto) including but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-1 (including Q&A 4(d)(ii) thereof), proposed Treasury Regulations in respect of Section 409A of the Code (including Section 1.409A-1(b)(5) of such proposed regulations), Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 and any subsequent guidance under Section 409A of the Code.


It is anticipated that (i) on or before the Closing Date, the Company, the Investors, the parties hereto and all other investors in the Common Stock will enter into a Stockholders Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stockholders Agreement”) setting forth certain agreements with respect to, among other things, the management of the Company and transfers of its shares in various circumstances, and (ii) on the Closing Date, the Transactions will be consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

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.

1.1. Capitalized terms defined in the Merger Agreement and used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used herein as so defined.

1.2. As used in this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” means any Person of which the Company (or other specified Person) owns directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary, a nominee arrangement or otherwise at least a majority of the outstanding capital stock (or other shares of beneficial interest) entitled to vote generally or at least a majority of the partnership, joint venture or similar interests, or in which the Company (or other specified Person) is a general partner or joint venturer without limited liability.

2. Sale and Acquisition of Subject Securities.

2.1. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and, notwithstanding anything else, such substitution being in accordance with Section 409A Rollover Law and the material terms of the Rollover Options, each Option Investor agrees to contribute to the Company the number of Rollover Options (which options are hereby deemed contributed to the Company and cancelled) set forth on the signature page hereto of such Option Investor and the Company hereby agrees to substitute for such Rollover Options, on the Closing Date, the number of Substitute Options set forth on the signature page hereto of such Option Investor. Except as permitted in Section 409A Rollover Law and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the terms of the Rollover Options are deemed incorporated into these Substitute Options; it being understood, that the exercise price and the number of shares may be adjusted (and have been adjusted as set forth on the signature pages) as permitted under Section 409A Law. Each Substitute Option shall be subject to the terms of the CRC Health Group, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan and to the terms of any other agreement previously governing the Rollover Option for which such Substitute Option is substituted, in each case to the extent required by Section 409A Rollover Law, and will also be governed by the Company’s 2006 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), as applicable, and the Stockholders Agreement, in each case to the extent consistent with Section 409A Rollover Law. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Incentive Plan and the Stockholders

Agreement, all determinations in respect of and interpretations of Section 409A Rollover Law shall be made by the Administrator (as defined in the Incentive Plan) in its sole discretion.

2.2. The contribution and substitution of the Subject Securities will take place at the same time and location as, and will be substantially contemporaneous with, but immediately prior to, the Closing pursuant to the Merger Agreement. If, prior to the closing hereunder, the Merger Agreement is terminated, this Agreement will automatically terminate and be without further force and effect; provided, however, that no such termination of this Agreement will relieve any party from liability for breach hereof prior to such termination.

2.3. At the Closing, against delivery to the Company by each Option Investor of the Rollover Options contemplated by Section 2.1 above, the Company will deliver to each Investor option grants, as the case may be, for the Subject Securities to be acquired by such Investor, registered in the name of such Investor.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Investor, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, 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 Investors true and complete copies of the Company’s Charter and the By-Laws of the Company as in effect on 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 Subject Securities. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, including issuing the Subject Securities.

3.3. The Common Stock, when issued upon exercise of any Substitute Option in accordance with the terms thereof, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3.4. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has conducted any material business or entered into any material transactions or incurred any material liability other than in connection with the formation of the Company, the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and the financing thereof.

3.5. Each of the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and this Agreement is, or at or prior to the Closing will be, duly executed and delivered by, and a legal, valid and binding obligation of, the Company and MergerCo or such of them as are a party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.

4.5. If so indicated on the signature page hereto of such Investor, such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

4.6. Such Investor’s financial condition is such that such Investor is able (a) to bear the economic risk of holding the Subject Securities for an indefinite period of time and (b) to incur a complete loss of such Investor’s entire investment in such Subject Securities.

4.9. Such Investor agrees to accept the Subject Securities in the condition they are in at the Closing based upon such Investor’s own inspection, examination and determination with respect to such Subject Securities as to all matters, and without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to the Company, MergerCo or any of their respective affiliates, except as expressly set forth herein.
