Exhibit 10.1
MAGELLAN HEALTH SERVICES, INC.
2011 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
Reference No. 2011- February 1, 2013 (Name)
SECTION 1. GRANT OF OPTION.
(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.
(b) 2011 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN AND DEFINED TERMS. The option is granted under and subject to the terms of the Company’s 2011 Management Incentive Plan, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “PLAN”), which is incorporated herein by this reference. 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 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.
(c) INJURIOUS CONDUCT. Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Option Award Notice or other Award document 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 during Optionee’s Service or during the year following termination of Optionee’s Service, then (i) no option issued to Optionee under the Plan may be exercised after such determination (even if fully vested) nor shall any other benefit of any Award thereafter accrue to the Optionee under the Agreement or the Plan (including by reason of the lapse of any restriction on transfer or other restriction applicable to Option Shares that have been issued), and the Company shall not complete the settlement of any such option (including completion of the issuance and delivery to the Optionee of Option Shares upon a previous exercise of the option) or the settlement of any other Award (including the removal of any restriction on transfer or other restriction applicable to any Option Shares that have been issued, even upon lapse of or compliance by the Optionee with any other restrictions thereon that are otherwise applicable to Optionee), 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 (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) Stock Units and any related Dividend Equivalent Rights the settlement of which have been deferred at the election of the Optionee, if such Restricted Stock Award or Stock Units were fully vested before the date such Injurious Conduct occurred (as so determined)). In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided by an Option Award Notice or other Award document 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 during Optionee’s Service or during the year following termination of Optionee’s Service, any benefits realized by Optionee 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 Optionee and Optionee shall pay over to the Company in cash the amount of any benefits so received by Optionee or deliver to the Company any Shares so received by Optionee and still owned by Optionee (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not 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 Optionee, 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 Optionee has engaged in Injurious Conduct during Optionee’s Service or during the year following termination of Optionee’s Service, shall not relieve Optionee 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.
(d)TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ON OPTION SHARES. Subject to subsection 2(c) above and subsection 3(c) below, unless otherwise provided by the Option Award Notice, upon the acquisition of Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of an option after expiration of the vesting period and satisfaction of any vesting and exercise conditions provided by the Option Award Notice, Optionee shall be free to dispose of Option Shares so acquired in any manner and at any time.
SECTION 3. TRANSFER OF OPTION.
(a) TRANSFERS GENERALLY PROHIBITED. Except as otherwise provided by the Option Award Notice or otherwise permitted by the Plan or in the case of a transfer permitted by subsection 3(b) below, the option shall be exercisable only during the Optionee’s lifetime and only by the Optionee. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3(b) below, the option and the rights and privileges conferred by the option 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 Optionee’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 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.
FIDUCIARY, SECURITIES LAW AND OFFICER RESTRICTIONS. As a employee, officer and/or director of the Company, 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 securities of the Company from time to time adopted by the Company and applicable to Optionee in connection therewith. Nothing contained herein shall relieve Optionee of any restriction on sale or other Transfer of Option Shares provided thereby and any other restrictions of sale or other Transfer of Option Shares provided herein (including in an Option Award Agreement or in the Plan) shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other restrictions provided thereby. . Pursuant to the Company’s Equity Ownership Policy currently in effect and as may be amended from time to time (the “Equity Ownership Policy”) certain officers of the Company are currently, or may in the future be, subject to restrictions on sales or transfers of Option Shares and other equity rights issued by the Company. If Grantee is at any time subject to such Equity Ownership Policy, sale or transfer of Grantees’ Option Shares shall be restricted as provided in such Equity Ownership Policy.
(c)
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 Option 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 and subsection 4(d) below, 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 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) 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.
(d) SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. Unless 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 shall not be required to issue Option Shares upon such exercise, except as otherwise provided in this subsection. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act sufficient Option Shares to permit the sale and delivery to Optionee of all Option Shares that may be acquired by Optionee upon the exercise of the option; provided, however, that the Company shall only be so required to register the Option Shares on Form S-8 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.
(b) ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF PAYMENT. Subject to any provision pertaining thereto in the Option Award Agreement, 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. 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 expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the option for financial reporting purposes that otherwise would not have occurred.
(ii) Net Exercise. Payment may be made in the case of Nonqualified Stock Options by reducing the number of Option Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the option by the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Purchase Price and the withholding required to be made by the Company in connection with such exercise of the option.
(iii) Exercise/Sale. Payment may be made 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 Option Shares (or other Shares owned by Optionee) and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company or (B) to pledge Option Shares (and/or other Shares owned by Optionee) to a securities broker or lender approved by 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 the date it is granted.
(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 at or after the normal date for retirement under any retirement plan of the Company in which Optionee participates or as otherwise determined 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 Option 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 Option Shares of for which this option is 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 outstanding Shares of the class which may be purchased upon exercise of the option, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares for other 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 option so that the option shall thereafter be exercisable, otherwise on the same terms and conditions as provided by the Option 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 exercise of the option had the option been exercised in full immediately prior to such change or distribution (whether or not the option was then exercisable in full) or, if and to the extent the Committee determines that so adjusting the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option, in whole or in part, is not practicable, the Committee shall equitably modify the consideration to be received in respect of the exercise of the option or the Exercise Price or other pertinent terms and conditions of the option as provided by subsection 7(b) below. Such an adjustment shall be made successively each time any such change in the outstanding Shares of the class which may be purchased upon exercise of the option or extraordinary distribution in respect of such outstanding Shares or extraordinary change in the capital structure of the Company shall occur.
(b) MODIFICATION OF OPTION. In the event any change in the outstanding Shares of the class which may be purchased upon exercise of the option or extraordinary distribution in respect of such outstanding Shares or extraordinary change in the capital structure of the Company described in subsection 7(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, Optionee as a participant in the Plan or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment to the terms and conditions of the option 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 Shares and/or other securities and/or cash or other property that may be issued or delivered upon the exercise of the option and/or adjust the Exercise Price and/or other terms and conditions of the option as the Committee in its discretion determines to be equitable in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Optionee’s rights in respect of the option as such existed before such event. Appropriate adjustments may likewise be made by the Committee in other terms and conditions of the option 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 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, (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 without the consent of the Optionee and (iii) 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 shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of Code and Department
of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued there under, including without limitation any such regulations or guidance that may be issued after the Date of Grant. Without limiting the authority of the Committee under subsection 7(b) above to make modifications to the option 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, Optionee as a participant in the Plan or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment to the terms and conditions of the option because such event interferes with the operation of the Plan, and notwithstanding any provision of the 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 Optionee to a penalty tax) in connection with the grant or vesting of the option or any other provision of the Option Award Notice or this Agreement or the Plan, the Company may (a) adopt such amendments to the option, 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 option 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 of Grant, to the extent permitted under Section 409A and regulations and guidance thereunder.. Adjustments to the Option under this Section 7 shall be authorized and made only to the extent such adjustment does not cause the Option to fail to qualify for the exemption under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(5) for stock rights not providing for the deferral of compensation.
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 with respect to any Option Shares until the Optionee or his or her personal representative or permitted Transferee becomes entitled to receive such Option Shares by (i) filing a notice of exercise and (ii) paying the Purchase Price as provided by this Agreement, and any such right shall also be subject to subsections 2(c) and 4(d) above.

(e) WAIVER. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature.
