ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT On December 13, 2005, Magellan Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Magellan Sub Co. I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), National Imaging Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NIA"), and TA IX L.P., as representative of the stockholders of NIA entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 12, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of NIA. Specifically, on the terms and subject to satisfaction of the conditions provided by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into NIA, and NIA will continue as the surviving corporation of the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). As consideration for the Merger, the Company will pay approximately $122 million in cash for the benefit of NIA's stockholders, after giving effect to estimated cash to be acquired in the transaction, as to be determined after the closing of the Merger pursuant to certain working capital adjustment provisions included in the Merger Agreement. A portion of the purchase price is required to be held in escrow for a period after the closing in respect of claims of indemnity the Company may have against NIA for losses sustained for the breach of representations, warranties or covenants made by NIA in or pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to certain limitations of time and amount on such indemnity claims. In the Merger Agreement, NIA has made representations and warranties concerning its business and affairs and agreed to covenants concerning the conduct of its business between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger customary in transactions of a like nature, including, subject to certain exceptions, agreeing (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions significant to its business without the Company's consent, (iii) not to solicit proposals relating to an alternative business combination and (iv) not to enter into discussions concerning or provide information in connection with an alternative business combination. In the Merger Agreement, the Company has also made representations and warranties concerning its affairs customary in transactions of a like nature. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (i) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of other required regulatory approvals and (ii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the closing of the Merger. The Company's obligation to close the Merger is subject to additional conditions, including (i) the absence of any events having a material adverse effect with respect to NIA's business, (ii) the absence of any litigation with a reasonable likelihood of preventing 2 the closing of the Merger or imposing certain limitations on NIA or the Company after the Merger, (iii) the attainment by NIA of certain material third party consents, waivers and approvals and (iv) the entry by certain members of management of employment agreements with the Company satisfactory to the Company. The Company may waive any of such conditions. NIA has represented that the Merger has received the necessary approval of its stockholders and, accordingly, such approval is not a condition of the Merger. The Company currently expects the Merger to close by the end of February 2006 if not earlier. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and NIA customary in transactions of a like nature; NIA is not entitled to terminate the agreement in favor of pursuing an alternative business combination. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination of the agreement under specified circumstances, including termination by the Company after NIA's Board of Directors has endorsed an alternative business combination proposal from any entity other than the Company or its subsidiaries or where the Merger Agreement terminates in certain other circumstances and NIA then enters into an alternative business combination within one year after such a termination, NIA is required to pay the Company a termination fee of $5,000,000 (which fee payment shall not be a limit on any claim of further damages that the Company may have against NIA for breach of the Merger Agreement).
