7.                                      Rights
upon a Change of Control; Retention Bonus.


 


(a)                                  Rights Upon a Change of Control.


 


(i) For
purposes of this Agreement, a “change of control” of Employer will take place
upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the acquisition
after the beginning of the term 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 a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Health Services, Inc.
(“Magellan”)), or any group of persons or entities who constitute a group (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act), of any securities of
Employer such that as a result of such acquisition such person or entity or
group beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d3(a)(1) under
the Exchange Act) more than 50% of Employer’s then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote on a regular basis for a majority of the Board of
Directors of Employer; or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Employer (including, without limitation, by way of merger, consolidation,
lease or transfer) in a transaction where Employer or Magellan do not receive (i) 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 (ii) securities representing a
majority of the equity interest in the acquiring entity or of an affiliate that


 


4





















 


controls the acquiring
entity, if other than a corporation. The foregoing notwithstanding, a spinoff
or other similar distribution of the shares or business of Mentor shall not
constitute a change of control for purposes of this Agreement.


 


(ii) In
the event of a change of control of Employer occurs during the term of Officer’s
employment hereunder, (or within six months after the term of Officer’s
employment hereunder ends due to non-renewal of this Agreement by Employer,
termination by Employer without cause, termination by Officer for good reason, or
termination due to death or disability as contemplated by Section 6(d))
Officer shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment of (a) 100% of her
Base Salary paid on the date of the closing of the transaction constituting
such change in control, and (b) 100% of her Base Salary on the first
anniversary of such closing. Officer shall not be entitled to any such payment
provided in the preceding clause (b), if prior to the time for payment thereof,
(x) Employer shall have terminated Officer’s Employment with Cause, (y) Officer
shall have terminated her Employment without good reason (as defined above), or
(z) Officer shall have violated the covenants set forth in Section 8
hereof, unless prior to the occurrence of (x), (y) or (z) above, Officer shall
have entered into a new Employment Agreement with the party acquiring control
in such change of control transaction. Any amounts paid to Officer upon a
change of control as contemplated by this Section 7(a) shall be in
lieu of any amounts otherwise payable to Officer under the last sentence of Section 1,
or Section 6(b) or Section 6(c) hereof.


 


(iii) Alternatively,
if there is a change of control. (as defined above mutatis mutandis) of
Magellan during the term of this Agreement, and Employer is still a subsidiary
of Magellan at the time of such change of control, Officer will be entitled to
terminate this Agreement within 90 days after such change of control, and upon
such termination will be entitled to all of the compensation provided in Section 4(a) of
this Agreement for a period of one year. Any amounts payable to Officer upon a
change of control of Magellan as contemplated by this paragraph shall be
applied towards any amounts otherwise payable to Officer under the last
sentence of Section 1, or Section 6(b) or Section 6(c) hereof.


 


(iv) If
Officer becomes entitled to any payments (whether hereunder or otherwise) by
reason of an event described in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G (a “Parachute
Event”) that would constitute “excess parachute payments” (as defined in
Internal Revenue Code Section 280G) if paid, then Officer’s entitlement to
such payments will be reduced by such amount as will cause none of such
payments to constitute excess parachute payments, if, and only if, the net
amount received by Officer by reason of the Parachute Event, after imposition
of all applicable taxes (including taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999),
would be greater after such reduction than if such reduction were riot made.


 


(b)                                 Retention Bonus. Employer shall pay to Officer a
retention bonus of, 100% of the base salary figure stated in Section 4(a) above on the second anniversary of the date of this
Agreement, provided that prior to such time Officer has not been terminated for
cause, or terminated his/her employment without good reason, or


 


5





















 


terminated his or her
employment after a change in control of Magellan as contemplated by Section 7(a)(iii) above,
and provided further, that no transaction involving a change of control of
Employer (as defined above) has occurred by that time. Alternatively, and in
lieu of the foregoing retention bonus, in the event of a spinoff or other
similar distribution of the shares or business of Mentor, Employer shall pay to
Officer a retention bonus of 100% of the base salary figure stated in Section 4(a) above
on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing of such spinoff,
provided that Officer has not been terminated for cause or terminated his/her
employment without good reason prior to such time. In the event that Employer
adopts any “above
target” bonus
program, any amounts paid to Officer thereunder shall be credited toward
payment of the foregoing retention bonuses.


 


8.                                      Protection
of Confidential Information/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation. 


 


Officer covenants and
agrees as follows:


 


(a)                                  During Employer’s employment of Officer
and for a period of eighteen months following the termination of Officer’s
employment for any reason, Officer will not use or disclose, directly or
indirectly, for any reason whatsoever or in any way, other than at the
direction of Employer (with the written consent of Magellan) during the course

and bidding information; rate and fee structures; policies and procedures
developed as part of a confidential business plan; and management systems and
procedures, including manuals and supplements (collectively, the “Confidential
Information”). The obligation not to use or disclose any Confidential
Information will not apply to: (i) any Confidential Information known by
Officer before commencing employment with Employer, (ii) Confidential Information
which Officer obtains from a third party, provided Officer has no actual or
constructive knowledge that the third party obtained the Confidential
Information by wrongful or inappropriate means, (iii) following the,
termination of the employment of Officer with Employer, to any information that
is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of Officer, and that may be
utilized by the public without any direct or indirect obligation to Employer,
but the termination of the obligation for non-use or nondisclosure by reason of
such information becoming public will extend only from the date such
information becomes public knowledge, or (iv) disclosure compelled by
legal process. The above will be without prejudice to any rights or remedies of
Employer under any state or federal law protecting trade secrets or other
information.

Made for Hire. Officer agrees that any written program materials, protocols,
research papers and all other writings (the “Work”), which Officer develops for
Employer’s use, or for use by Employer’s controlled subsidiaries or affiliates,
during the term of this Agreement, will be considered “work made for hire”
within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act, Title 17, United States
Code, which vests all copyright interest in and to the Work in the Employer. In
the event, however, that any court of competent jurisdiction finally declares
that the Work is not or was not a work made for hire as agreed, Officer agrees
to assign, convey, and transfer to the Employer all right, title and interest
Officer may presently have or may have or be deemed to have in and to any such
Work and in the copyright of such work, including but not limited to, all
rights of reproduction, distribution, publication, public performance, public
display and preparation of derivative works, and all rights of ownership and
possession of the original fixation of the Work and any and all copies. Additionally,
Officer agrees to execute any documents necessary for Employer to record and/or
perfect its ownership of the Work and the applicable copyright. The foregoing

use or are in each instance specifically excluded in advance of publication
from the coverage of the foregoing by Employer’s Board of Directors.

Employer and Officer agree that an actual or threatened violation by Officer of
the covenants and obligations set forth in Sections 8, 9 and 10 will cause
irreparable harm to Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates and
that the remedy at law for any such violation will be inadequate. Officer
agrees, therefore, that Employer or its controlled subsidiaries or affiliates
will be entitled to appropriate equitable relief, including, but not limited
to, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction, without the
necessity of posting a bond. The provisions of Sections 8, 9 and 10 will
survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set
forth’in each Section.


 


13.                               Arbitration.
Except for an action for injunctive relief as described in Section 12, any
disputes or controversies arising under this Agreement will be settled by
arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association relating to the arbitration of employment
disputes. The determination and findings of such arbitrators will be final and
binding on all parties and may be enforced, if necessary, in any court of
competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this
Agreement, such provision will be fully severable and this Agreement and each
separate provision will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and
the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect
and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or
by its severance from this Agreement. In addition, in lieu of such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically, as a
part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in terms to such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and
enforceable, if such reformation is allowable under applicable law.


 


17.                               Binding
Effect. This Agreement will be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of each party and each party’s respective successors, heirs and legal
representatives. This Agreement may not be assigned by Officer to any other
person or entity but may be assigned by Employer to any wholly-owned subsidiary
or affiliate of Employer or to any successor to or transferee of all, or any
part, of the stock or assets of Employer.


 


18.                               Employer
Policies, Regulations and Guidelines for Officers. Employer may issue
policies, rules, regulations, guidelines, procedures or other material, whether
in the form of handbooks, memoranda, or otherwise, relating to its officers.
These materials are general guidelines for Officer’s information and will not
be construed to alter, modify or amend this Agreement for any purpose
whatsoever.


 


19.                               Entire
Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral,
relating to its subject matter, unless expressly provided otherwise within this
Agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement will be valid unless
made in writing and signed by each of the parties and countersigned by
Magellan. No representations, inducements or agreements have been made to
induce either Officer or Employer to enter into this Agreement which are not
expressly set forth within this Agreement. Officer and Employer acknowledge and
agree that Employer’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliates are express
third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
