NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein

Magellan and Executive agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
CONTRACT BONUS
SECTION 1.1 CONTRACT BONUS. In consideration of Executive's service as
the President and Chief Executive Officer of Green Spring throughout the period
commencing on December 13, 1995 and ending on December 13, 1999 (the "Contract
Bonus Period"), Magellan shall pay to Executive a bonus in the amount determined
in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof (the "Contract Bonus"). Unless
Executive's right to receive the Contract Bonus is terminated in accordance with
Section 1.4 hereof, Executive's right to receive one-half of the Contract Bonus
shall accrue on December 13, 1998 (the "First Accrual Date") and
Executive's right to receive the remaining one-half of the Contract Bonus shall
accrue upon expiration of the Contract Bonus Period (the "Second Accrual Date").
SECTION 1.2 BONUS AMOUNT. The aggregate Contract Bonus payable
hereunder shall be in an amount equal to (a) Two Million Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000) MINUS (b) the "Excluded Amount" determined in
accordance with Section 1.3 hereof. The Contract Bonus shall be paid in
immediately available funds in two installments payable on or prior to the fifth
business day following the First Accrual Date and the Second Accrual Date (each,
an "Accrual Date"), as follows:
(i) the amount of the Contract Bonus payable following the First Accrual
Date shall be equal to One Million One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($1,125,000) less the Excluded Amount calculated as of the
First Accrual Date; and
(ii) the amount of the Contract Bonus payable following the Second Accrual
Date shall be equal to Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($2,250,000) less the greater of (A) One Million One Hundred Twenty-
Five Thousand Dollars ($1,125,000) and (B) the Excluded Amount
calculated as of the Second Accrual Date.
SECTION 1.3 EXCLUDED AMOUNT. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Excluded Amount shall mean the aggregate value (without duplication) of all cash
and non-cash compensation paid or payable to or on behalf of Executive by
Magellan, Green Spring or any of their respective affiliates during or in
respect of Executive's services as an employee of Magellan or any subsidiary
thereof, including Green Spring, during the Contract Bonus Period, whether
payable pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Letter Agreement or otherwise
(the "Excluded Amount"), except that the Excluded Amount shall not include (a)
Executive's current base salary of Two Hundred Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars
($285,000) per annum to the extent paid or payable in respect of Executive's
services as an employee of Magellan or any subsidiary thereof, including Green
Spring, during the Contract Bonus Period and (b) amounts payable to Executive
for service prior to the Contract Bonus Period, including amounts payable
pursuant to the Green Spring Long Term Compensation Plan relating to the
termination of such plan in connection with the equity investment by Magellan in
Green Spring in December 1995. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Excluded Amount shall include (i) all cash compensation such as
increases in current base salary, cash bonus, car allowance and reimbursement,
deferred cash compensation, 401k match, incentive bonus match, cash accumulation
account contribution and other cash incentive compensation and (ii) the value of
all non-cash compensation such as incentive stock options, restricted stock,
stock appreciation rights, cash value buildup of insurance policies and other
non-cash compensation. For purposes of calculating the Excluded Amount as of
the Second Accrual Date, the Excluded Amount shall also include any portion of
the Contract Bonus payable following the First Accrual Date. With respect to
the options to purchase One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of Magellan common
stock
2
currently held by Executive and any future stock options granted to Executive
during the Contract Bonus Period, the value of such options for purposes of the
Excluded Amount shall be calculated as follows:
(A) the value of options that have not been exercised as of such Accrual
Date ("Unexercised Options") shall be equal to the aggregate number of
Unexercised Options multiplied by the arithmetic average of the
closing prices of the common stock for which such options are
exercisable (on the American Stock Exchange or other stock exchange or
market on which such common stock is then traded) for the ten trading
days preceding such Accrual Date MINUS the aggregate exercise price
payable in connection with the exercise of such options; and
(B) the value of options that have been exercised as of such Accrual Date
("Exercised Options") shall be equal to the greater of (1) the sum of
(a) the closing prices of the common stock for which such options were
exercisable on the date of each such exercise multiplied by (b) the
number of options exercised in connection with such exercise MINUS the
aggregate exercise price payable in connection with such exercises or
(2) the value that would have been ascribed to such Exercised Options
if no exercise of such options had occurred as of such Accrual Date
and such options had been valued as Unexercised Options in accordance
with clause (A) of this Section 1.3.
The Excluded Amount shall not include any value relating to unvested stock
options to the extent that such options will not vest in the ordinary course on
or prior to the end of the Contract Bonus Period.
In the event, on the Second Accrual Date, that compensation (or an estimate
thereof) is included in the Excluded Amount on the basis that such compensation
is in respect of Executive's services during the Contract Bonus Period but is
payable thereafter and Executive does not receive such compensation or receives
compensation in an amount different than the estimated amount used to calculate
the Excluded Amount, Magellan shall promptly reimburse Executive, or Executive
shall promptly reimburse Magellan, as appropriate, in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount of compensation included in the Excluded Amount
and the amount actually paid to Executive. The adjustment set forth in the
preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to the value of any Exercised
Options or Unexercised Options included within the Excluded Amount.
SECTION 1.4 TERMINATION OR RESIGNATION. (a) In the event that (i)
Executive resigns from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of
Green Spring other than following a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined)
or (ii) is terminated from such position for any of the reasons set forth in
Subsection (b) of this Section 1.4 at any time prior to the Second Accrual Date,
this Agreement, including Executive's right to receive any unpaid
3
installments of the Contract Bonus, shall terminate effective upon such
resignation or termination.
(b) This Agreement, including Executive's right to receive any unpaid
installments of the Contract Bonus, shall terminate pursuant to Subsection (a)
of this Section 1.4 if at any time prior to the Second Accrual Date, Executive
is terminated by Green Spring for any of the following reasons:
(i) pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Employment Agreement (or if the
Employment Agreement has expired or been terminated or superseded,
upon a termination for any of the reasons set forth in paragraph 5 of
the Employment Agreement);
(ii) for breaching any material term of this Agreement or the Employment
Agreement;
(iii) for committing any material act or acts of dishonesty relating to
Executive's employment that result, or are intended to result, in
material direct or indirect personal gain or enrichment at the expense
of Magellan or its affiliates;
(iv) for engaging in any illegal or other wrongful conduct that is
substantially detrimental or substantially damaging to the reputation,
business, or operations of Magellan, Green Spring or their respective
subsidiaries; or
(v) for refusing, failing or neglecting to perform his duties under the
Employment Agreement in a manner that is substantially detrimental or
substantially damaging to the reputation, business or operations of
Magellan, Green Spring or their respective subsidiaries;
provided, however, that in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (v), no such
termination shall be effective unless (A) Green Spring or Magellan shall have
given Executive 30 days' prior written notice of any noncomplying conduct or
deficiency in performance by Executive that, if not discontinued or corrected,
could lead to Executive's termination under this Section 1.4(b) in order that
Executive shall have had an opportunity to cure such noncomplying conduct or
deficiency in performance and (B) Executive shall not have cured such
noncomplying conduct or deficiency in performance during such 30 day period.
(c) In the event that (i) Executive is terminated by Green Spring for any
reason other than as set forth in Subsection(b) of this Section 1.4 at any time
prior to the expiration of the Contract Bonus Period, or (ii) Executive resigns
following a Change of Control, Executive shall be entitled to receive each
installment of the Contract Bonus at the same time and in the same manner as if
Executive's employment had continued through the expiration of the Contract
Bonus Period; provided, however, that all termination or severance payments
payable to Executive in connection with such termination or resignation shall be
included in the calculation of the Excluded Amount pursuant to Section 1.3
hereof.

(d) As used in this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to
have occurred upon any of the following events: (i) the acquisition after the
date hereof in one or more transactions, of beneficial ownership (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3(a)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")) by any person or entity (other than Executive or
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) or any group of persons or entities (other than Executive or
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) who constitute a group (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of any securities of Magellan such that as a
result of such acquisition such person or entity or group beneficially owns
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a)(1) under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of
Magellan's then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote on a regular
basis for a majority of the Board of Directors of Magellan; or (ii) the sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of Magellan (including, without
limitation, by way of merger, consolidation, or transfer) in a transaction
(except for a sale-leaseback or similar transaction) where Magellan or the
holders of common stock of Magellan do not receive (A) voting securities
representing a majority of the voting power entitled to vote on a regular basis
for the Board of Directors of the acquiring entity or of an affiliate which
controls the acquiring entity, or (B) securities representing a majority of the
equity interests in the acquiring entity or of an affiliate that controls the
acquiring entity, if other than a corporation; provided, that if Executive
becomes entitled to any payments (whether hereunder or otherwise) by reason of
an event described in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) (a
"Parachute Event") that would constitute "parachute payments" (as defined in
Internal Revenue Code Section 280G(b)(G)(2)(A)) if paid, then Executive's
entitlement to such payments shall be reduced by such amount as will cause none
of such payments to constitute parachute payments if, and only if, the net
amount received by Executive by reason of the Parachute Event, after imposition
of all applicable taxes (including taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section
4099), would be greater after such reduction than if such reduction were not
made. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change Of Control shall not be deemed
to have occurred upon a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
business of Charter Behavioral Health Systems, Inc.
