SECTION 1.         GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.

 

(a)           Restricted Stock Units.  On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award referencing this Agreement, Magellan Health Services, Inc. (the “Company,” as further defined below) grants to the Grantee referred to on the signature page hereof the right to receive on the Settlement Date (as hereinafter defined) the number of shares of Ordinary Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Shares,” as further defined below) equal to the number of “Stock Units” awarded to the Grantee as set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award, subject to adjustment thereto on account of any change that may be made in the Shares as provided by Section 4 below (the “Unit Shares”).  Each such Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award, together with this referenced Agreement, shall be a separate “Restricted Stock Unit” governed by the terms of this Agreement and any such separate Restricted Stock Unit may be referred to herein as the “Restricted Stock Unit,” and, as pertinent, any of multiple Notices of Restricted Stock Unit Award referencing this Agreement may be referred to herein as the “Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice.”

 

(b)           2008 Management Incentive Plan and Defined Terms.  The Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted under and subject to the terms of the 2008 Management Incentive Plan, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by this reference.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

 

(c)           Scope of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall apply both to the Restricted Stock Unit and to any Unit Shares acquired upon the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

 

SECTION 2.         VESTING AND SETTLEMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.

 

(a)           Vesting.  The Restricted Stock Unit shall vest in whole or in part on the date or dates provided by the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award, provided that Grantee remains in the Service of the Company, a Subsidiary or a Parent company at such date; it being understood that the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award may provide that the Restricted Stock Unit shall vest upon termination of Grantee’s Service in such circumstances as are provided in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award.

 

(b)           Settlement in Shares.  Subject to following provisions of this Section 2, the Company shall settle the Restricted Stock Unit, to the extent it has vested, on the date on which the

 



 

Restricted Stock Unit has vested (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) by the delivery to Grantee of the number of Unit Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units so vested.  The date on which a Restricted Stock Unit is to be settled is herein referred to as the “Settlement Date.”  Subject to subsection 2(b) below, in settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit, the Company shall cause to be issued on the Settlement Date or as soon as practicable thereafter (but not more than five business days) an appropriate certificate or certificates for the Unit Shares, registered in the name of the Grantee (or, at the direction of the Grantee, in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in the entirety); provided, however, that such Unit Shares shall be subject to such restrictions on transfer or other restrictions as are provided by the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice and the certificates so issued may bear a legend reflecting such restrictions and any restrictions applicable in accordance with subsections 2(g) and 3(c) below.

 

(c)           Alternative Settlement in Cash.  In lieu of settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit in Unit Shares, the Committee may in its sole discretion elect to settle all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Unit by a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value as of the Settlement Date of the Unit Shares that would otherwise have been issued under this Agreement.  Such payment may be made by good check of the Company issued in accordance with its normal payroll practices or such other means as are acceptable to the Company

 

(d)           Withholding Requirements.  The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) the Company is required to withhold as a result of the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit and/or the issuance of Unit Shares (or cash in lieu of Unit Shares) in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit and, as a condition to the grant of the Restricted Stock Unit or issuance of the Unit Shares in settlement thereof, the Grantee shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all such withholding requirements.

 

(e)           Injurious Conduct.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided by the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice or other Award document or by an agreement executed by the Company with the approval of the Committee, in the event the Grantee has engaged in Injurious Conduct as defined in, and as determined to have occurred in accordance with, Section 12 of the Plan during Grantee’s Service or during the year following termination of Grantee’s Service, then (i) no Unit Shares shall be issued to Grantee in connection with the settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award under the Plan after such determination (even if such Award is fully vested) nor shall any other benefit of any Award thereafter accrue to the Grantee under this Agreement or the Plan (including by reason of the lapse of any restriction on transfer or other restriction then applicable to Unit Shares that have been issued), and the Company shall not complete the settlement of any other Award, and (ii) any such unsettled Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be forfeited and shall terminate and any Unit Shares subject to any such restrictions shall be forfeited (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not excuse the Company from settling, completing delivery of or removing any legend restricting the transfer of (A) any Restricted Stock Award or (B) Restricted Stock Unit Awards and any related Dividend Equivalent Rights the settlement of which have been deferred at the election of the Grantee, if such Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Awards were fully vested before the date such Injurious Conduct occurred (as so determined)).  In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided by a Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice or other Award document or by an agreement executed by the Company with the approval of the Committee, in the event the Grantee has engaged in Injurious Conduct as

defined in, and as determined to have occurred in accordance with, Section 12 of the Plan during Grantee’s Service or during the year following termination of Grantee’s Service, any benefits realized by Grantee as a result of any Award under the Plan at any time after such Injurious Conduct occurred (as so determined), whether upon vesting or exercise of an Option, lapse of restrictions on Option Shares, vesting of Restricted Stock Awards or Stock Units or related Dividend Equivalent Rights, or the lapse of any restrictions on Shares issued as a result thereof, or as a result of any other settlement of an Award, shall be forfeited by Grantee and Grantee shall pay over to the Company in cash the amount of any benefits so received by Grantee or deliver to the Company any Shares so received by Grantee and still owned by Grantee (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the forfeiture of or excuse the Company from settling, completing delivery of or removing any legend restricting the transfer of (i) any Restricted Stock Award or (ii) Stock Units and any related Dividend Equivalent Rights the settlement of which have been deferred at the election of the Grantee, if such Restricted Stock Award or Stock Units were fully vested before the date such Injurious Conduct occurred (as so determined)).  A forfeiture of benefits as provided hereby upon the Committee determining that Grantee has engaged in Injurious Conduct during Grantee’s Service or during the year following termination of Grantee’s Service shall not relieve Grantee of any other liability he or she may have to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent as a result of engaging in the Injurious Conduct.

 

(f)            Transfer Restrictions On Unit Shares.  Subject to subsection 2(d) above and subsections 2(g) and 3(c) below, unless otherwise provided by the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice or another agreement between Grantee and the Company, upon the acquisition of Unit Shares pursuant to the settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, Grantee shall be free to dispose of the Unit Shares so acquired in any manner and at any time.

 

(g)           Securities Law Restrictions On Issuance of Unit Shares.  Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act permitting the sale and delivery of Unit Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award is in effect on the Settlement Date, the Company shall not be required to issue Unit Shares upon such settlement, except as otherwise provided in this subsection.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act sufficient Unit Shares to permit delivery to Grantee of all Unit Shares that may be acquired by Grantee upon the settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award; provided, however, that the Company shall only be so required to register the Unit Shares on Form S-8 under the Securities Act (or any successor form).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall, if Grantee has given the Company at least 90 days’ notice requesting the Company to register in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection the Unit Shares that may then be acquired by Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award and the Company has failed to do so, issue Unit Shares to Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award without registration thereof under the Securities Act if (i) Grantee represents, effective on the date of such issuance, in writing in a form acceptable to the Company (A) that such Unit Shares are being acquired for investment and not with a present view to distribution, (B) Grantee understands that the Unit 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 Grantee 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 Unit Shares, is acquiring the Unit Shares

based on an independent evaluation of the long-term prospects of an investment in the Unit Shares and has been furnished with such financial and other information regarding the Company as the Grantee has requested for purposes of making such evaluation, and (D) Grantee is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Unit Shares subject to such restrictions on Transfer and (ii) if the Company determines that under the circumstances issuing the Unit Shares pursuant to such settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award is lawful; provided, however, that the Company may require, as a condition of such issuance of Unit Shares, that Grantee 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  Unit Shares are issued to Grantee in accordance with the Securities Act and any other applicable securities law and may require that any certificates representing Unit Shares so issued bear any restrictive legend appropriate for such purpose.  In addition, even if a registration statement under the Securities Act permitting the delivery of Unit Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award is in effect at the Settlement Date, the Company may suspend the issuance of Unit Shares pursuant to the settlement of all Restricted Stock Unit Awards 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  Unit Shares under such registration statement a violation of Sections 10, 11 or 12 of the Securities Act.  If the Company suspends the issuance of Unit Shares pursuant to the settlement of Restricted Stock Unit Awards issued under the Plan, the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Grantee (but the failure of the Company to give such notice shall not prevent the Company from suspending the issuance of Unit Shares as permitted hereby) and, at such time as such period of suspension ends, shall give prompt written notice thereof to Grantee.  Notwithstanding that the Company in accordance with this subsection may not be able to issue Unit Shares in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Company shall not be required to settle a Restricted Stock Unit in cash, but may do so if it elects in its discretion to do so, as provided by subsection 2(c) above.

 

(h)           Special Distribution Rules to Comply with Code Section 409A.  In the event that any Restricted Stock Units constitute a “deferral of compensation” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”),(1) the timing of settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will be subject to applicable limitations under Code Section 409A and Section 19(a) of the Plan, including the following restrictions on settlement:

 

(i)            Settlement of the Restricted Stock Units upon Grantee’s termination by the Company not for Cause or termination by Grantee for Good Reason during the specified period following a Change in Control will be subject to the requirement that the termination constitute a “separation from service” under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), and subject to the six-month delay rule under Plan Section 19(a)(iii)(B).

 

(ii)           Other applicable provisions of Plan Section 19(a) will apply to such Restricted Stock Units.

(b)           Certain Transfers Permitted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Restricted Stock Unit Award may be Transferred (i) in the event of the Grantee’s death, by will 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 Grantee’s family, or a trust primarily for the benefit of Grantee and/or one or more members of Grantee’s family, or to a corporation, partnership or other entity primarily for the benefit of Grantee 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 Restricted Stock Unit Award so Transferred and, upon issuance of Unit Shares in settlement thereof, the Unit Shares issued to the Transferee 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.  The foregoing notwithstanding, if RSUs constitute deferrals of compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, RSUs and any related right of Grantee shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Grantee or his or her beneficiary, except as permitted under Code Section 409A and regulations and guidance thereunder.

SECTION 4.         ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

 

(a)           Adjustment Generally.  If while the Restricted Stock Unit remains in effect there shall be any change in the outstanding Shares of the class which are to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares for other

 

5



 

securities or other like change in the outstanding Shares, or any spin-off, split-off, dividend in kind or other extraordinary dividend or other distribution in respect of such outstanding Shares or other extraordinary change in the capital structure of the Company, an adjustment shall be made to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit so that the Restricted Stock Unit shall thereafter be ultimately settled, otherwise on the same terms and conditions as provided by the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, for such securities, cash and/or other property as would have been received in respect of the Shares that would have been issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been settled in full immediately prior to such change or distribution (whether or not the Restricted Stock Unit was then fully vested) or, if and to the extent the Committee determines that so adjusting the consideration to be received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit, in whole or in part, is not practicable, the Committee shall equitably modify the consideration to be received in respect of the settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit or other pertinent terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit as provided by subsection 4(b) below.  Such an adjustment shall be made successively each time any such change in the outstanding Shares of the class which may be received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit or extraordinary distribution in respect of such outstanding Shares or extraordinary change in the capital structure of the Company shall occur.

 

(b)           Modification Of Restricted Stock Unit.  In the event any change in the outstanding Shares of the class which may be received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit or extraordinary distribution in respect of such outstanding Shares or extraordinary change in the capital structure of the Company described in subsection 4(a) above occurs, or in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Grantee in respect of a Restricted Stock Unit or otherwise as a participant in the Plan or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit because such event or circumstances interferes with the intended operation of the Plan (including the intended tax consequences of Awards) occurs, then the Committee may, and shall where required by subsection 7(a) above, adjust the number and kind of Unit Shares and/or other securities and/or cash or other property that may be issued or delivered upon the settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit and/or adjust the other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit as the Committee in its discretion determines to be equitable in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Grantee’s rights in respect of the Restricted Stock Unit as such existed before such event.  Appropriate adjustments may likewise be made by the Committee in other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit to reflect equitably such changes in circumstances, including modifications of performance targets and changes in the length of performance periods relating to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit or any restrictions on Unit Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made which is prohibited by Section 13 of the Plan.

 

(c)           Modifications To Comply With Section 409A.  To the extent applicable, this Agreement (including any related Notice of Restricted Stock Award) shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or guidance that may be issued after the date on which a Restricted Stock Unit was awarded.  Without limiting the authority of the Committee under subsection 4(b) above to make

modifications to the Restricted Stock Unit by reason of changes in law or circumstances that would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Grantee in respect of a Restricted Stock Unit or otherwise as a participant in the Plan or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit because such event interferes with the operation of the Plan, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Committee or an authorized officer of the Company determines that any amounts will be immediately taxable to the Participant under Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (or subject the Grantee to a penalty tax) in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit or any other provision of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice or this Agreement or the Plan, the Company may (a) adopt such amendments to the Restricted Stock Unit, including amendments to this Agreement (having prospective or retroactive effect), that the Committee or authorized officer determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the Restricted Stock Unit and/or (b) take such other actions as the Committee or authorized officer determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, including such Department of Treasury guidance and other interpretive materials as may be issued after the date on which such Restricted Stock Unit was awarded, but only to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and regulations and guidance thereunder.                           .
