    This current report of the registrant ("Magellan" or the "Company") on Form
8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the Company believes that its plans,
intentions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations
will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the Company's forward-looking statements are set forth in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 1999. All forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on behalf of the Company are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended June 30, 1999.

ITEM 2. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

    On September 10, 1999, the Company consummated the transfer of assets and
other interests pursuant to a Letter Agreement dated August 10, 1999 with
Crescent Real Estate Equities ("Crescent"), Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COI") and
Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC ("CBHS") that effects the Company's exit
from its healthcare provider and healthcare franchising businesses (the "CBHS
Transactions". The terms of the CBHS Transactions are summarized as follows:

HEALTHCARE PROVIDER INTERESTS

    - The Company redeemed 80% of its CBHS common interest and all of its CBHS
      preferred interest, leaving the Company with a 10% non-voting common
      interest in CBHS.

    - The Company has agreed to transfer to CBHS its interests in five of its
      six hospital-based joint ventures ("Provider JVs") and related real estate
      as soon as practicable, including net proceeds of approximately $9 million
      from the sale of Magellan's 75% ownership interest in Naperville
      Psychiatric Ventures on September 1, 1999.

    - The Company transferred to CBHS the right to receive approximately $7.1
      million from Crescent for the sale of two psychiatric hospitals that were
      acquired by the Company (and leased to CBHS) in connection with CBHS'
      acquisition of certain businesses from Ramsey Healthcare, Inc. in fiscal
      1998.

    - The Company forgave receivables due from CBHS of approximately $3.3
      million for payments received by CBHS for patient services prior to the
      formation of CBHS on June 17, 1997. The receivables related primarily to
      patient stays that "straddled" the formation date of CBHS.

    - The Company will pay $2.0 million to CBHS in 12 equal monthly installments
      beginning on the first anniversary of the closing date.

    - CBHS will indemnify the Company for 20% of up to the first $50 million
      (i.e., $10 million) for expenses, liabilities and settlements related to
      government investigations for events that occurred prior to June 17, 1997
      (the "CBHS Indemnification"). CBHS will be required to pay the Company a
      maximum of $500,000 per year under the CBHS Indemnification.

    - Crescent, COI, CBHS and Magellan have provided each other with mutual
      releases of claims among all of the parties with respect to the original
      transactions that effected the formation of CBHS and the operation of CBHS
      since June 17, 1997 with certain specified exceptions.

                                       1
<PAGE>
    - CBHS will have the right to require the Company to transfer certain other
      real estate and interests related to the healthcare provider business to
      CBHS within 30 days of closing.

HEALTHCARE FRANCHISING INTERESTS

    - The Company transferred its healthcare franchising interests to CBHS,
      which includes Charter Advantage, LLC, the Charter call center operation,
      the Charter name and related intellectual property. The Company has been
      released from performing any franchise services or incurring future
      franchising expenses.

    - The Company forgave prepaid Charter call center management fees of
      approximately $2.7 million.

    - The Company forgave unpaid franchise fees of approximately $115 million.

    The CBHS Transactions, together with the formal plan of disposal authorized
by the Company's Board of Directors on September 2, 1999, represents the
disposal of the Company's healthcare provider and healthcare franchising
business segments under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting
the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions" ("APB 30"). APB 30 requires that the results of continuing
operations be reported separately from those of discontinued operations for all
periods presented and that any gain or loss from disposal of a segment of a
business be reported in conjunction with the related results of discontinued
operations. Accordingly, the Company will be required to restate its results of
operations for all prior periods. The Company expects to record an after-tax
loss on disposal (primarily non-cash) of its healthcare provider and healthcare
franchising business segments of approximately $42.0 to $48.0 million, in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.

ITEM 7. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the
Company is included herein:

1)  Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 1999;

2)  Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal
    years ended September 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998; and

<PAGE>
             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information set forth below
is based on the historical presentation of the consolidated financial statements
of Magellan, and the historical operating results of Human Affairs
International, Incorporated ("HAI"), Allied Health Services, Inc. and certain of
its affiliates ("Allied"), and Merit Behavioral Care Corporation ("Merit").
Certain reclassifications have been made to fiscal 1996, 1997 and 1998 amounts
to conform to fiscal 1999 presentation.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 1999, gives
effect to the CBHS Transactions as if they occurred on June 30, 1999.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998, and for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 and
1999, give effect to the following events as if they had occurred on October 1,
1997:

    -  the HAI acquisition (as described below);

    -  the Allied acquisition (as described below);

    -  the Green Spring minority stockholder conversion (as described below);

    -  the Merit acquisition (as described below);

    -  The Europe sale (as described below); and

    -  the CBHS Transactions

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 presents the impact of separately
reporting continuing operations and discontinued operations as a result of the
CBHS Transactions.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information does not purport
to be indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained if the
operations had been conducted as presented and they are not necessarily
indicative of operating results to be expected in future periods. Additionally,
due to the ongoing integration of the Company's managed healthcare businesses
and other factors, the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, are not necessarily
proportional to nor indicative of the pro forma results expected for a full
year.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998, excludes approximately $35.0 million to $40.0
million of annual cost savings that the Company has achieved as a result of the
Integration Plan (as defined). The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements
of Operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, and for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, also exclude managed care integration costs
of $17.0 million, $12.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, that were
directly attributable to the HAI, Allied and Merit acquisitions. The Unaudited
Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1997 excludes the non-recurring loss on Crescent Transactions. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1998, and for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 excludes
the extraordinary loss on early extinguishments of debt that was a direct result
of the Merit acquisition. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 excludes the non-recurring
gain attributable to the Europe sale.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information and notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto of Magellan, and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that appear in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998, filed on March 30, 1999, and in the Company's quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 1999, filed on
August 16, 1999, which are incorporated herein by reference; the historical

                                       3
<PAGE>
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Merit, which appear in
the Company's current report on Form 8-K/A, filed on October 28, 1998; and the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of HAI, which
appear in the Company's current report on Form 8-K, filed on December 17, 1997.

    The following is a description of each of the transactions (other than the
CBHS Transactions which are described elsewhere herein) that are reflected in
the pro forma presentation:

    HAI ACQUISITION.  On December 4, 1997, the Company consummated the purchase
of HAI, formerly a unit of Aetna US Healthcare, Inc. ("Aetna"), for
approximately $122.1 million. At the time of the HAI acquisition, HAI managed
the care of approximately 16.3 million covered lives, primarily through employee
assistance programs and other managed behavioral healthcare plans. The Company
funded the acquisition of HAI with cash on hand and accounted for the
acquisition of HAI using the purchase method of accounting. The Company may be
required to make additional contingent payments of up to $60.0 million annually
to Aetna over the five-year period subsequent to closing. The maximum aggregate
amount of contingent payments is $300.0 million. The amount and timing of the
payments will be contingent upon net increases in the number of HAI's covered
lives in specified products. The Company is obligated to make contingent
payments under two separate calculations. Under the first calculation, the
amount and timing of the contingent payments will be based on growth in the
number of lives covered by certain HAI products during the next five years. The
Company may be required to make contingent payments of up to $25.0 million per
year for each of the five years following the HAI acquisition depending on the
net annual growth in the number of lives covered by such products. The amount to
be paid per incremental covered life decreases during the five-year term of the
Company's contingent payment obligation. Under the second calculation, the
Company may be required to make contingent payments of up to $35.0 million per
year for each of five years based on the net cumulative growth in the number of
lives covered by certain other HAI products. Aetna will receive a specified
amount per net incremental life covered by such products. The amount to be paid
per incremental covered life increases with the number of incremental covered
lives. The Company would record additional consideration paid or payable to
Aetna under the above calculations as goodwill and identifiable intangible
assets.

    On March 26, 1999, the Company paid Aetna $60.0 million of additional
consideration for the purchase of HAI under the above calculations with respect
to the first contract year after closing. The amount was accounted for as
additional goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

    ALLIED ACQUISITION.  On December 5, 1997, the Company purchased Allied for
approximately $70.0 million, excluding transaction costs, and accounted for the
Allied acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price
the Company originally paid for Allied was funded from cash on hand and
consisted of a $50.0 million payment to the former owners of Allied and a $20.0
million deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account (the "Allied Escrow
Deposit"). The Company was required to pay up to $60.0 million, including the
Allied Escrow Deposit, during the three years following the closing of the
Allied acquisition if Allied's performance exceeded certain earnings targets.

    During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company and the former
owners of Allied amended the Allied purchase agreement (the "Allied
Amendments"). The Allied Amendments resulted in the following changes to the
original terms of the Allied purchase agreement:

    -  The Allied Escrow Deposit and all interest accrued thereon was returned
       to the Company;

    -  The Company paid the former owners of Allied $4.5 million of additional
       consideration for the purchase of Allied. This additional consideration
       was accounted for as additional goodwill; and

    -  The Company capped future obligations with respect to additional
       contingent payments for the purchase of Allied at $3.0 million. The
       earnings targets which must be met by Allied for this amount to be paid
       were increased.

                                       4

    Allied provides specialty risk-based products and administrative services to
a variety of insurance companies and other customers. Allied's services cover
approximately three million aggregate lives through physician networks across
the eastern United States. Allied's networks include physicians specializing in
cardiology, oncology and diabetes.

    GREEN SPRING MINORITY STOCKHOLDER CONVERSION.  The minority stockholders of
Green Spring Health Services, Inc. ("Green Spring") converted their interests in
Green Spring into an aggregate of 2,831,516 shares of the Company's common stock
with an aggregate value of $63.5 million during January 1998. As a result of the
Green Spring minority stockholder conversion, the Company owns 100% of Green
Spring. The Company accounted for the Green Spring minority stockholder
conversion as a purchase of minority interest at the fair value of the
consideration paid.

    MERIT ACQUISITION.  On February 12, 1998, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Merit for approximately $448.9 million in cash plus the
repayment of Merit's debt. The Company accounted for the Merit acquisition using
the purchase method of accounting. At the time of the Merit acquisition, Merit
managed behavioral healthcare programs for approximately 21.6 million covered
lives across all segments of the healthcare industry, including HMO's, Blue
Cross/Blue Shield organizations and other insurance companies, employers and
labor unions, federal, state and local government agencies, and various state
Medicaid programs. In connection with the consummation of the Merit acquisition,
the Company consummated certain related transactions as follows: (i) the Company
terminated its existing credit agreement (the "Magellan Existing Credit
Agreement"); (ii) the Company repaid all loans outstanding pursuant to and
terminated Merit's existing credit agreement (the "Merit Existing Credit
Agreement"); (iii) the Company completed a tender offer for its 11 1/4% Series A
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Magellan Outstanding Notes"); (iv)
Merit completed a tender offer for its 11 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2005 (the "Merit Outstanding Notes"); (v) the Company entered into a new senior
secured bank credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") providing for credit
facilities of $700.0 million; and (vi) the Company issued its 9% Series A Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated
February 12, 1998, between the Company and Marine Midland Bank, as Trustee (the
"Indenture"). The Credit Agreement provides for (a) a term loan facility in an
aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million (the "Term Loan Facility"),
consisting of three separately maturing $183.3 million tranches with different
interest rates (London inter-bank offered rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25%, 2.50% or
2.75%) and (b) a revolving credit facility providing for revolving loans to the
Company and the "Subsidiary Borrowers" (as defined therein) and the issuance of
letters of credit for the account of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers in
an aggregate principal amount (including the aggregate stated amount of letters
of credit) of $150.0 million (the "Revolving Facility").

- ------------------------

(1) The Revolving Facility provides for borrowings of up to $150.0 million. At
    February 12, 1998, the Company had approximately $112.5 million available
    for borrowing pursuant to the Revolving Facility, excluding approximately
    $17.5 million of availability reserved for certain letters of credit.

(2) Includes principal amount of $193.6 million and accrued interest of $2.7
    million.

(3) Includes principal amount of $375.0 million, tender premium of $43.4 million
    and accrued interest of $13.7 million.

(4) Includes principal amount of $100.0 million, tender premium of $18.9 million
    and accrued interest of $2.8 million.

(5) Transaction costs include, among other things, expenses associated with the
    tender offers for the Magellan Outstanding Notes and the Merit Outstanding
    Notes, the Notes offering, the Merit acquisition and the Credit Agreement

    By virtue of acquiring Merit, the Company may be required to make certain
contingent payments to the former shareholders of CMG Health, Inc. ("CMG"),
based on the performance of three CMG customer contracts. CMG was acquired by
Merit in September, 1997. Such contingent payments are subject to an aggregate
maximum of $23.5 million. The Company has initiated legal proceedings against
certain former owners of CMG with respect to representations made by such former
owners in conjunction with Merit's acquisition of CMG. Whether any contingent
payments will be made to the former shareholders of CMG and the amount and
timing of contingent payments, if any, are subject to the outcome of these
proceedings.

    EUROPE SALE.  On April 9, 1999, the Company sold its European psychiatric
provider operations to Investment AB Bure of Sweden for approximately $57.0
million (before transaction costs of approximately $2.5 million). The sale
resulted in a non-recurring gain of approximately $23.9 million before provision
for income taxes.

    The Company used approximately $38.2 million of the net sale proceeds to
make mandatory unscheduled principal payments on indebtedness outstanding under
the Term Loan Facility. The remaining proceeds were used to reduce borrowings
outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.  The historical financial information for the
impact of the CBHS Transactions is presented under the column entitled
"Discontinued Operations" in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and the nine months ended June 30, 1998
and 1999 effects for the restatement necessary to separately report discontinued
operations as required by APB 30. The Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet at June
30, 1999 assigns no value to the Company's remaining 10% common ownership
interest in CBHS and assumes that the Provider JVs and certain other real estate
and interests were transferred to CBHS, effective June 30, 1999.

(1) Adjustments to cash and cash equivalents and accumulated deficit represent
    estimated transaction costs (primarily investment banking fees, legal fees
    and accounting fees) directly related to the CBHS Transactions.

(2) Adjustments to cash and cash equivalents and accrued liabilities represents
    the settlement of amounts due to CBHS pursuant to the Provider JV services
    agreements and other working capital matters.

(3) Adjustments to cash and cash equivalents, property and equipment, investment
    in unconsolidated subsidiaries, accrued liabilities and long-term debt
    represent the impact of the probable disposal of the Heights joint venture
    and related real estate, which was excluded from the CBHS Transactions.

(4) Adjustment to accrued liabilities and accumulated deficit represents the
    estimated losses that will be incurred subsequent to the APB 30 measurement
    date. The estimated losses relate primarily to (i) legal costs that will be
    incurred through the disposal date of the Provider JVs and (ii) incremental
    legal costs that will be incurred as a direct result of the CBHS
    Transactions.

(5) Adjustments to deferred credits and other long-term liabilities and
    accumulated deficit represents the amount payable to CBHS pursuant to the
    terms of the CBHS Transactions.

(6) Adjustments to additional paid-in capital, deferred income taxes and
    accumulated deficit represent elimination of the additional paid-in capital
    of the discontinued operations and the impact of the net loss from the CBHS
    Transactions.

    The pro forma loss from the CBHS Transactions is computed as follows:

    The Company may be required to make additional contingent payments to Aetna
    of up to $60.0 million annually during the five years following the
    consummation of the HAI acquisition for aggregate potential contingent
    payments of $300.0 million. These contingent payments would be recorded as
    goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, which would result in estimated
    additional annual amortization of $11.0 million to $13.0 million in future
    periods if all the contingent payments are made. The Company made the first
    such payment of $60.0 million to Aetna on March 26, 1999.

    The Company paid $4.5 million of additional consideration to the former
    owners of Allied during the three months ended December 31, 1998, and may
    also be required to make additional contingent payments to the former owners
    of Allied of up to $3.0 million under certain circumstances. The $4.5
    million payment was recorded as goodwill, and the $3.0 million, if paid,
    would be recorded as goodwill as well. If both payments were made, estimated
    annual amortization would increase by approximately $0.2 million.

     (a) Amount represents the net amount of proceeds from the Europe Sale used
       to reduce the Company's indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility as
       required by the Credit Agreement.

     (b) Amount represents the net amount of proceeds from the Europe Sale
       remaining after the reduction of the Company's indebtedness under the
       Term Loan Facility. The pro forma presentation presumes this amount would
       have been used to reduce average amounts outstanding under the Revolving
       Facility.

(11)  Adjustments to managed care integration costs represent the elimination of
      the expenses incurred by the Company as a direct result of the Merit
      acquisition and the Allied acquisition. The Company's management has
      committed to a plan (the "Integration Plan") to combine and integrate the
      operations of its behavioral managed healthcare ("Behavioral") business
      segment, which was formed through acquisitions consummated in fiscal 1996
      (Green Spring) and fiscal 1998 (HAI and Merit), and its specialty managed
      healthcare ("Specialty") business segment, which was formed through
      acquisitions consummated in fiscal 1997 (Care Management Resources, Inc.)
      and fiscal 1998 (Allied). The Integration Plan was implemented to
      eliminate duplicative functions and to standardize business practices and
      information technology platforms.

     The Integration Plan will result in the elimination of approximately 1,000
     positions during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999. Approximately 510 employees
     had been involuntarily terminated pursuant to the Integration Plan as of
     June 30, 1999. The remaining positions have been or will be eliminated
     through normal attrition.

     The employee groups of the Behavioral Managed Healthcare segment that are
     primarily affected include executive management, finance, human resources,
     information systems and legal personnel at the various corporate
     headquarters and regional offices and credentialing, claims processing,
     contracting and marketing personnel at various operating locations.

     The Integration Plan has resulted in the closure and identified closure of
     approximately 20 leased facilities during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999. The
     Company expects the remaining office closures, if any, to be insignificant.

     The Company recorded approximately $21.3 million of liabilities related to
     the Integration Plan, of which $12.4 million was recorded as part of the
     Merit purchase price allocation and $8.9 million was recorded in the
     statement of operations under "Managed care integration costs" in fiscal
     1998. The Company may record adjustments to such liabilities in fiscal 1999
     depending upon the Company's ability to sublease closed offices and upon
     determination of the final amount of the Company's severance obligations.

     The Integration Plan will result in additional incremental costs that must
     be expensed as incurred in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
     Consensus 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
     Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs
     Incurred in a Restructuring)" that are not described above and certain
     other charges. Other integration costs include, but are not limited to,
     outside consultants, costs to relocate closed office

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

     contents and long-lived asset impairments. Other integration costs are
     reflected in the statement of operations under "Managed care integration
     costs."

     During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, and the nine months ended
     June 30, 1999, the Company incurred approximately $8.1 million and $3.3
     million of other integration costs, respectively.

(12)  Adjustments to gain on Europe Sale and to special charges represent the
      elimination of non-recurring gains on the Europe Sale and the sale of
      assets formerly used in the Company's psychiatric hospital provider
      business, offset primarily by the elimination of Merit's transaction costs
      related to the Merit acquisition.

(13)  Adjustments to provision for income taxes represent the tax expense
      related to the pro forma adjustments at the Company's historical average
      statutory income tax rate of 40% and the imputed income tax expense on the
      pre-acquisition operating results of Allied, which was an S-corporation
      for income tax purposes and historically did not provide for income taxes
      prior to its acquisition by the Company.

(14)  Adjustments to minority interest and average number of common shares
      outstanding (basic and diluted) represent the effect of the Green Spring
      minority stockholder conversion.

(15)  Adjustment to average number of common shares outstanding-diluted
      represents the elimination of common stock equivalents which become
      anti-dilutive as a result of the pro forma net loss for fiscal 1996, 1997
      and 1998 and for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.

to such transactions or the components of such transactions. The quoted language
referred to above is as follows:


     "Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership ("CEI"), Magellan Health
Services, Inc. ("Magellan"), Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COPI") and Charter
Behavioral Health Systems, LLC ("CBHS") entered into a binding Letter Agreement
dated August 10, 1999, relating to a proposed recapitalization of CBHS and
restructuring of relationships among the parties. CBHS is the lessee, under a
master lease agreement, of approximately 90 psychiatric hospitals owned by CEI.


     "Under the Letter Agreement and consistent with Magellan's strategy of
exiting the hospital provider business, Magellan has agreed that it will, at the
closing of the transactions, transfer its remaining hospital-based assets
(including Charter Advantage, Charter Franchise Services, LLC, the call center
assets, the Charter name and related intellectual property and certain other
assets) to CBHS, and cancel its accrued franchise fees. Thereafter, Magellan
will no longer be obligated to provide franchise services to CBHS. Magellan will
also effectively transfer 80% of its CBHS common interest and all of its
preferred interest to CBHS, leaving Magellan with a 10% common membership
interest, and COPI with a 90% common membership interest and 100% of the
preferred membership interest in CBHS. Additionally, it is anticipated that CBHS
management will have the ability to acquire up to 30% of the common membership
interests. COPI plans to restructure its investment in CBHS so that the closing
of the transactions will not result in COPI's control of CBHS.


     "In connection with the execution of the Letter Agreement, Magellan, CBHS,
CEI and COPI have agreed to provide each other with mutual releases of all
claims and disputes against each other, with certain specified exceptions, and
CEI has deferred the August 1999 rent due from CBHS to the last four months of
1999. Additionally, with the execution of the Letter Agreement, the $2.5 million
held in escrow in connection with a pending arbitration between Magellan and
COPI was released to COPI.


     "Magellan and CBHS also have modified and extended their existing
arrangement which designates CBHS a preferred provider of inpatient acute
behavioral health services.


     "As a result of the execution of the Letter Agreement, the parties expect
that CBHS will be further strengthened by a closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Letter Agreement. CEI also expects that it will agree to
sell up to 20 of the hospitals currently managed by CBHS and use the proceeds to
acquire secured debt of CBHS, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions.
CEI expects that, on an overall basis, CBHS's rent under the master lease would
not be reduced in connection with that transaction.


     "The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Letter Agreement is
anticipated to take place within 30 days, subject to the satisfaction of certain
customary closing conditions and consents, and other contingencies. If the
closing does not occur within 30 days, the Letter Agreement terminates."

     In the event that the closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Letter Agreement and the addenda hereto does not occur within 30 days after the
date hereof, each party shall be permitted to issue a written press release or
make a public filing or public announcement relating to such failure to close,
provided that such party shall not make any disparaging remarks relating to any
other party hereto or relating to the terms of any of such transactions. Any
approval required pursuant to this Paragraph 12 shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed by any party hereto.

     specified below for each party, and are made and effected in consideration
     for the sales, asset transfers and agreements being made by the other party
     as provided herein.

III. AGREEMENTS OF PARTIES: Unless otherwise noted, the transactions below will
     occur contemporaneously at the closing of all of the transactions
     contemplated by this Article III (the "Closing").

     A.   MAGELLAN

          1.   Magellan will transfer 80% of its common interest and all of its
               preferred interest in CBHS to CBHS pursuant to a redemption
               transaction . (Magellan's common and preferred interests are
               described on SCHEDULE 1). Following such transfer and after the
               completion of the restructuring contemplated by this Addendum A
               to the Letter Agreement, Magellan will have 10% of the common
               interest of CBHS, representing 10% of the equity (on a fully
               diluted basis, including the initial sale of up to 30% of the
               common interests of CBHS to members of management or other CBHS
               employees) of CBHS. In the case of issuances of equity in
               accordance with any of clauses (i) through (iv) of the last
               sentence of this Article III.1, Magellan's percentage of the
               common interest of CBHS will be diluted on a pro rata basis with
               other holders of common interests of CBHS. In connection with the
               transfer of its interests in CBHS, Magellan shall cease to have
               the right to nominate or select any members of the Governing
               Board of CBHS and shall have no rights except as the holder of
               10% of the common interests of CBHS. With respect to such 10%
               common interest, CBHS will provide Magellan customary and
               reasonable anti-dilution protections against stock splits,
               mergers, consolidations, sale of all or substantially all of the
               assets or other recapitalizations, and issuances of equity for
               prices below the market price at the time of any such issuance
               except in connection with (i) any issuance of common equity to
               employees or (ii) any other issuance of common


<PAGE>

               equity to or for the benefit of employees pursuant to employee
               equity plans, (iii) any issuance of common equity to a
               non-affiliate (as defined under the federal securities laws)
               where the price to be paid has, in the opinion of the Governing
               Board of CBHS, been fully and fairly negotiated and the issuance
               has been approved by the Governing Board of CBHS as being in the
               interest of CBHS or (iv) any issuance of common equity to an
               affiliate (as defined under the federal securities laws) if a
               fairness opinion from a nationally recognized independent
               valuation firm has been obtained.

          2.   Magellan will use reasonable best efforts to sell to a subsidiary
               of CBHS, all of its interests in the joint ventures and related
               real property, as identified on the attached SCHEDULE 2, subject
               to required consents. If any joint venture interest or related
               real property may not be sold despite all reasonable best
               efforts, Magellan will sell the net economic benefit of such
               assets (to the extent not otherwise provided to CBHS) as if CBHS
               were the owner of the assets or act as a fiduciary nominee for
               CBHS with respect to such assets. Magellan will indemnify CBHS
               for any and all claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses and
               liabilities which CBHS or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries
               may incur either (i) as a result of any claim that any such
               assignment or other provision to CBHS of the net economic benefit
               of the joint ventures listed on the attached SCHEDULE 2 is
               invalid or impermissible or otherwise violates the terms of the
               agreements governing such joint ventures or (ii) in connection
               with the operation of any such joint venture prior to June 16,
               1997. The joint venture interests transferred shall include,
               without limitation, an amount equal to the amount of any net
               proceeds to be received from the proposed sale of Magellan's
               interest in the Linden Oaks joint venture, currently anticipated
               to be approximately $10 million (representing both purchase price
               and working capital components) and Magellan will use good faith
               efforts to complete such sale as soon as reasonably practicable.
               Magellan will retain its interest in the Charter Heights
               facility. In connection with the sale (or other provision of net
               economic benefit) of the joint venture interests and related real
               property of the joint ventures listed on SCHEDULE 2, CBHS shall
               indemnify Magellan for any and all claims, losses, damages,
               costs, expenses and liabilities which Magellan may incur in
               connection with the operation of any such joint venture after
               June 16, 1997, as if such joint venture interests were
               transferred on June 17, 1997.

          3.   The parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a period of 30
               days from the date of the Letter Agreement to resolve and
               determine the net amount of intercompany receivables/payables
               owed between the parties pursuant to the services agreements
               between Magellan and CBHS relating to certain of Magellan's joint
               ventures and other general intercompany receivables/payables,
               excluding the intercompany receivables referred to in Article
               III.a.4. below, and including, as a reduction of payables from


                                      -2-
<PAGE>


               Magellan to CBHS, the $2 million paid by Magellan to CBHS on or
               about July 8, 1999 and the $4 million payment made by Magellan
               upon execution of the Letter Agreement to which this Addendum A
               is attached. SCHEDULE 3 sets forth a preliminary
               reconciliation of intercompany receivable/payable amounts. If
               amounts remain in dispute at the end of such thirty (30) day
               period, the parties shall refer the matter to a mutually
               acceptable accounting firm to determine within 30 days the amount
               that one party shall pay the other in order to resolve all such
               outstanding disputed matters. The parties shall split the cost of
               engaging such accounting firm equally. The determination of the
               accounting firm of such disputed matters shall be binding on the
               parties. Within three business days after the determination of
               the accounting firm, Magellan shall pay to CBHS or CBHS shall pay
               to Magellan, as the case may be, the net amount of the
               intercompany receivable/payable.

          4.   Magellan will assume all intercompany payables due to Magellan
               from CBHS related to (a) amounts collected or due for services
               rendered prior to June 17, 1997 to "straddle" patients, who were
               hospital patients which were admitted prior to June 17, 1997 and
               discharged after such date (the "Straddle Receivables") and (b)
               prepaid management fees of approximately $3.3 million (as further
               identified on Schedule 8, Item 3).

          5.   Subject to and upon consummation of the proposed sale by Magellan
               of Group Practice Affiliates, Inc. ("GPA") (which sale Magellan
               shall use good faith efforts to complete as soon as reasonably
               practicable on substantially the same terms as the currently
               proposed sale), Magellan will acquire from CBHS the license
               rights to the Medical Manager MSO System as set forth in the
               Master License Agreement dated April 10, 1998 between CBHS and
               Medical Manager Southeast, Inc. (the "Master License Agreement").
               The consideration to be paid to CBHS by Magellan for the purchase
               of the license rights will be $1 million, less the amount of the
               final remaining payment (approximately $400,000) to Medical
               Manager Southeast, Inc. to complete the purchase of the licensed
               software and the associated training and maintenance provided in
               the first year covered by the Master License Agreement. Magellan
               shall make such final payment when due. In the event that the
               proposed GPA sale is not consummated and Magellan makes the final
               payment, the amount of such payment shall be credited to GPA's
               share of the expenses to acquire and implement the Medical
               Manager MSO System under the current agreement between GPA and
               CHBS. Magellan and CBHS will enter into a customary purchase
               agreement for this type of transaction with respect to this asset
               purchase. The purchase agreement will be executed concurrently
               with the execution of the purchase agreement for the proposed
               sale of GPA. The Medical Manager MSO System is further described
               on SCHEDULE 4. Magellan and CBHS shall enter into a Services
               Agreement pursuant to which Magellan (or its assignee) shall
               provide to CBHS access to and utilization of the


                                      -3-
<PAGE>


               software of the Medical Manager MSO System relating to continued
               operation of Charter Behavioral Associates for a fee equal to
               cost plus 10%. Both CBHS and Magellan (or its assignee) agree to
               pay their pro rata share of the maintenance fee due under the
               Master License Agreement for periods after this first year of
               such license. These agreements shall supersede the existing
               agreements between Magellan and CBHS regarding the Medical
               Manager MSO System. In connection with the proposed sale of GPA,
               Magellan will use reasonable best efforts to facilitate
               agreements between the proposed purchaser of GPA and CBHS related
               to the purchase and sale of hardware and equipment assets
               associated with the Medical Manager MSO System and the Central
               Billing Office ("CBO"), as well as service agreements between the
               parties related to data center support for the Medical Manager
               MSO System and the service and operations of the CBO. Magellan
               agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the buyer of
               GPA to acquire from CBHS the Pittsburgh Practice Assets (as
               identified on SCHEDULE 4A) for the same multiple of EBITDA that
               the purchaser is paying for GPA. For purposes of achieving the
               foregoing, Magellan will provide CBHS with a reasonable
               opportunity to participate directly in negotiations relating to
               the foregoing transactions; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that CBHS shall
               have no right to participate in negotiations relating to
               Magellan's proposed sale of GPA.

          6.   As part of the overall transaction, Magellan shall grant an
               option to CBHS to receive from Magellan within 30 days after
               Closing, for no additional consideration, the Puerto Rico
               management operation subject to all obligations, liens, claims
               and liabilities, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise,
               related to the prior and future operation of the Puerto Rico
               operation. Magellan will provide CBHS reasonable access to
               personnel and information to permit reasonable due diligence
               during the period of the option. In the event that CBHS exercises
               this option, Magellan will use reasonable best efforts to assign
               to CBHS the Puerto Rico management contracts (identified on
               SCHEDULE 5). If such contracts may not be assigned, Magellan will
               assign or provide to CBHS the present and future net economic
               benefit of such contracts

          7.   At the Closing, Magellan will transfer and assign to CBHS, the
               right to receive an amount equal to the approximately $7.1
               million to be paid by Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited
               Partnership ("CEI") upon CEI's acquisition of the Ramsay
               hospitals pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated
               November 10, 1998, by and among Magellan, Crescent Real Estate
               Funding VII, Ltd., CBHS and Charter Mesa Behavioral Health
               System, LLC (further described on SCHEDULE 6).

          8.   As part of the overall transaction, Magellan shall grant to CBHS
               an option to purchase from Magellan within 30 days after Closing,
               for no additional consideration, the Acadian Oaks, Macon Storage
               Facility and Brook MOB


                                      -4-
<PAGE>



               properties (such properties are further identified on Schedule
               7), subject to all obligations, liens, claims and liabilities,
               known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, related to these
               properties or prior or future operation thereof. Magellan will
               provide CBHS reasonable access to personnel and information to
               permit reasonable due diligence during the period of the option.
               Magellan shall receive rent-free use of and storage rights to the
               Brook MOB and the Macon Storage Facility for the duration of all
               outstanding AG and OIG investigations; provided that Magellan's
               rights to use such facilities and the type and amount of space
               available to Magellan for storage shall not exceed those
               available to Magellan as of June 30, 1999.

          9.   Magellan will agree to pay to CBHS $2 million in twelve equal
               monthly installments. The first such payment shall be due one
               year following the Closing.

          10.  As part of the overall transaction, Magellan will transfer to
               CBHS the entities and assets set forth on SCHEDULE 8 (including,
               without limitation Charter Managed Care LLC) for no additional
               consideration. The entities and assets on SCHEDULE 8 will be
               transferred without any indebtedness for borrowed money. These
               entities and assets relate to the franchise and service
               agreements between Magellan and CBHS.

          11.  Magellan will relinquish all rights and obligations under the
               Master Franchise Agreement between Magellan, Charter Franchise
               Services, LLC ("Charter Franchise") and CBHS which became
               effective on June 17, 1997, and the Subsidiary Franchise
               Agreements between Magellan, Charter Franchise and each CBHS
               facility subsidiary (collectively with the Master Franchise
               Agreement, the "Franchise Agreements"). Magellan shall likewise
               forgive and cancel all accrued and unpaid amounts due under the
               Franchise Agreements from CBHS, including any amounts that become
               due at or following Closing.

          12.  Magellan will release all claims against CBHS, including but not
               limited to pending arbitration claims, disputes in connection
               with past payments of franchise fees by CBHS to Magellan and all
               other issues relating to the original group of transactions,
               except with respect to (a) the Orlando arbitration (further
               identified on SCHEDULE 9), (b) any disputes related to the
               internal investigations set forth on SCHEDULE 10A or governmental
               investigations set forth on SCHEDULE 10B including disputes
               related to the defense of those investigations or the payment of
               legal fees or other costs or liabilities, (c) any obligation
               provided for, and any matter the resolution of which is provided
               for, in the Letter Agreement, including in this Addendum A, or in
               Addendum B, to the Letter Agreement and (d) the indemnification
               rights set forth in Section 8.2 of that certain Contribution
               Agreement entered into by and among Magellan, Crescent Operating,
               Inc.

               ("COPI") and CBHS as of June 16, 1997, (subject to the provisions
               of Section 8.3 thereof, except for the provisions of Section
               8.3(d) thereof). Magellan shall relinquish all rights under the
               original transaction agreements (listed on SCHEDULE 11) except as
               noted in this paragraph. This provision is not an acknowledgment
               by any of the parties of the merits of any such claims and may
               not be used by any party or third party as evidence to establish
               liability for any such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing
               release and relinquishment, nothing herein contained shall
               preclude Magellan from bringing a claim for contribution against
               CBHS in connection with any claims, demands or actions brought
               against Magellan by a third party, whether private or
               governmental, including but not limited to third party claims or
               demands that may be settled prior to litigation. Magellan and
               CBHS agree to use reasonable best efforts to reach settlement on
               the matters set forth under clause (a) above and SCHEDULE 10A
               within 30 days of the execution of the Letter Agreement, and any
               matters in dispute at the end of such 30 days shall be submitted
               to binding arbitration to be performed (i) in accordance with the
               Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
               Association conducted by a three-person arbitration panel and
               (ii) in accordance with such other procedures as shall be
               established by Magellan and CBHS.

          13.  Magellan will not be required to make representations and
               warranties concerning the assets to be transferred, other than
               that it has good title to the transferred assets free of all
               liens and encumbrances.

          14.  Magellan and CBHS agree to use reasonable best efforts to
               resolve, within 30 days of the execution of the Letter Agreement,
               the dispute regarding whether Magellan is obligated to pay under
               the Franchise Agreement, either pursuant to its terms or in light
               of the non-performance of CBHS under the Franchise Agreement
               (irrespective of any release contained in Article III.a.12. above
               and III.b.5. below), on behalf of CBHS, media buying commissions
               and media agency commissions. In the event such matter cannot be
               resolved within 30 days, such matter shall be submitted to
               binding arbitration to be performed (i) in accordance with the
               Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
               Association conducted by a three-person arbitration panel and
               (ii) in accordance with such other procedures as shall be
               established by Magellan and CBHS.

          15.  As part of the overall transaction, Magellan shall grant an
               option to CBHS to receive from Magellan within 30 days after
               Closing, for no additional consideration, all of the equity of
               Golden Isle Assurance Company Ltd. Magellan will provide CBHS
               reasonable access to personnel and information to permit
               reasonable due diligence during the period of the option.

          16.  Magellan Health Services, Inc. has the power to and will cause
               its applicable controlled subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding
               the joint ventures listed on the attached Schedule 2) to take
               such actions and execute such documents and agreements as may be
               necessary to effect the transactions and agreements contemplated
               hereby.

          17.  Magellan will contribute to CBHS (or cause its affiliates to
               contribute to CBHS) intangible assets acquired associated with
               the following hospitals and related operations: Charleston,
               Columbia, Tampa Bay, Paducah, Jackson, Fairmount,
               Charlottesville, Orlando-South, Greenville, STAR and Provo
               School.

          18.  Magellan will consent to such reasonable amendments to the
               Operating Agreement (i) as may be required to effect the
               redemption contemplated by Article III.a.1., (ii) if the
               redemption contemplated by Article III.a.1 results in COPI's
               ownership of more than 50% of the common interests in CBHS, as
               may be requested by COPI to facilitate, at COPI's option, (A) the
               distribution of all or any portion of the "COPI Interests," which
               are any and all common interests and preferred interests held by
               COPI or its designee following a redemption contemplated by
               Article III.a.1., (B) the sale of the COPI Interests to any
               person or entity, including affiliates of CBHS, (C) the transfer,
               other than by sale, of the COPI Interests, or (D) any combination
               of the foregoing, (iii) as may be required to reduce the
               membership of the CBHS Governing Board to two, provide that
               Magellan has ceased to have the right to elect any members to the
               Governing Board of CBHS and provide that COPI has the right to
               elect both members of the Governing Board, (iv) as may be
               required to appoint COPI as the "Tax Matters Member" of CBHS, as
               such term is defined in the CBHS Operating Agreement, (v) as may
               be required to provide that the income recognized by CBHS as a
               result of the cancellation of accrued and unpaid amounts due
               under the Franchise Agreements as contemplated by Article
               III.a.11. shall be allocated to the capital accounts of the
               members of CBHS in the same amounts as the deductions
               attributable to such accrued and unpaid amounts were allocated to
               such members, and the corresponding items of taxable income,
               gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among the members
               consistent with such allocation to capital accounts, (vi) as may
               be required to provide that any items of income, gain, loss or

               assignments described in the preceding paragraphs of this Article
               III (other than the income described in the foregoing clause (v))
               shall be allocated to the capital accounts of the members in
               accordance with the members' interests on the date of the Closing
               (prior to giving effect to the redemption contemplated by Article
               III.a.1.), that items attributable to extraordinary transactions
               occurring on the date of the Closing but not contemplated by this
               Article III shall be allocated to the capital accounts of the
               members in accordance with the members' interests after giving
               effect to such


                                      -7-
<PAGE>



               redemption, and that the corresponding items of taxable income,
               gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among the members
               consistent with such allocations to capital accounts, (vii) as
               may be required to provide that the redemption contemplated by
               Article III.a.1. shall be treated for tax purposes as having
               occurred immediately following the Closing, and that, upon such
               redemption, COPI's Preferred Interest shall be $35,000,000,
               (viii) as may be required to provide that allocations of items of
               taxable income, gain, loss and deduction of CBHS with respect to
               property received from Magellan pursuant to Article III.a.17.
               shall be made in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section
               704(c), and (ix) as are consistent with the terms included in and
               the transactions contemplated by this Addendum A. COPI is
               intended to be a third-party beneficiary of the agreements
               contained in this Article III.a.18.

     b.   CBHS

          1.   CBHS will indemnify Magellan for 20% of the first $50 million of
               all pre-June 16, 1997 liabilities required to be paid by Magellan
               after the date hereof (including attorneys' fees and other
               litigation costs incurred after the date hereof and net of any
               reimbursement from insurance), to the extent, and only to the
               extent, that such liabilities are associated with those assets
               transferred to CBHS as of June 16, 1997 (including, without
               limitation, the joint venture interests and real property listed
               on SCHEDULE 2 and with respect to the Charter Heights joint
               venture listed on SCHEDULE 12, in each case to the extent
               transferred to CBHS at Closing or to the extent CBHS receives the
               net economic benefit of such assets in the manner provided in
               Article III.a.2.), or the conduct of the business operated using
               such assets prior to June 16, 1997, including costs and
               liabilities arising under current governmental investigations,
               except those internal investigations listed on Schedule 10A. CBHS
               shall not be required however, to pay more than $500,000 per year
               for such indemnification, with any unpaid amount to be carried
               forward and paid in subsequent years, without interest on the
               amount carried forward, up to an aggregate maximum amount of $10
               million. If Magellan receives any insurance reimbursement on
               account of a liability for which CBHS has already paid amounts to
               Magellan pursuant to such indemnity, Magellan will promptly pay
               over to CBHS 20% of such reimbursement up to the amount paid
               pursuant to such indemnity by CBHS.

          2.   CBHS will release all claims against Magellan, including but not
               limited to pending arbitration claims, disputes in connection
               with past payments of franchise fees by CBHS, all other issues
               relating to the original group of transactions, except with
               respect to (a) the Orlando arbitration (further identified on
               Schedule 9), (b) any disputes related to the internal
               investigations set forth on SCHEDULE 10A or governmental
               investigations set forth on SCHEDULE 10B, including disputes
               related to the defense of



                                      -8-
<PAGE>

               those investigations or the payment of legal fees or other costs
               or liabilities, (c) any obligation provided for, and any matter
               the resolution of which is provided for, in the Letter Agreement,
               including in this Addendum A to the Letter Agreement and (d) the
               indemnification rights under Section 8.1(ii) of that certain
               Contribution Agreement entered into by and among Magellan, COPI
               and CBHS as of June 16, 1997, (subject to the provisions of
               Section 8.3 thereof, except for the provisions of Section 8.3(d)
               thereof). CBHS shall relinquish, with respect to Magellan, all
               rights under the original transaction documents except as
               provided in this paragraph. This provision is not an
               acknowledgment by any of the parties of the merits of any such
               claims and may not be used by any party or third party as
               evidence to establish liability for any such claims.
               Notwithstanding the foregoing release and relinquishment, nothing
               herein contained shall preclude CBHS from bringing a claim for
               contribution against Magellan in connection with any claims,
               demands or actions brought against CBHS by a third party, whether
               private or governmental, including but not limited to third party
               claims or demands that may be settled prior to litigation. CBHS
               and Magellan agree to use reasonable best efforts to reach
               settlement on the matters set forth under clause (a) above, and
               SCHEDULE 10A within 30 days of the execution of the Letter
               Agreement, and any matters in dispute at the end of such 30 days
               shall be submitted to binding arbitration to be performed (i) in
               accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
               Arbitration Association conducted by a three-person arbitration
               panel and (ii) in accordance with such other procedures as shall
               be established by Magellan and CBHS.

          3.   CBHS shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the full and
               complete release of Magellan of those guarantees by Magellan or
               its affiliates of CBHS obligations (the guarantees are listed on
               SCHEDULE 13). CBHS agrees it will indemnify Magellan for any such
               guarantee which is not released.

          4.   CBHS shall assume the business operations and related obligations
               with respect to the assets and properties transferred to it
               pursuant to Article III.a., subject to the provisions of this
               Addendum.

          5.   CBHS will consent to such reasonable amendments to the Operating
               Agreement (i) as may be required to effect the redemption
               contemplated by Article III.a.1., or (ii) if the redemption
               contemplated by Article III.a.1 results in COPI's ownership of
               more than 50% of the common interests in CBHS, as may be
               requested by COPI to facilitate, at COPI's option, (A) the
               distribution of all or any portion of the COPI Interests, (B) the
               sale of the COPI Interests to any person or entity, including
               affiliates of CBHS, (C) the transfer, other than by sale, of the
               COPI Interests, or (D) any combination of the foregoing, (iii) as
               may be required to reduce the membership of the CBHS Governing
               Board to two, provide that Magellan


                                      -9-
<PAGE>



               shall have ceased to have the right to elect any members to the
               Governing Board of CBHS and provide that COPI has the right to
               elect both members of the Governing Board, (iv) as may be
               required to appoint COPI as the "Tax Matters Member" of CBHS, as
               such term is defined in the CBHS Operating Agreement, (v) as may
               be required to provide that the income recognized by CBHS as a
               result of the cancellation of accrued and unpaid amounts due
               under the Franchise Agreements as contemplated by Article
               III.a.11. shall be allocated to the capital accounts of the
               members of CBHS in the same amounts as the deductions
               attributable to such accrued and unpaid amounts were allocated to
               such members, and the corresponding items of taxable income,
               gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among the members
               consistent with such allocation to capital accounts, (vi) as may
               be required to provide that any items of income, gain, loss or
               deduction recognized by CBHS as a result of the transfers or
               assignments described in the preceding paragraphs of this Article
               III (other than the income described in the foregoing clause (v))
               shall be allocated to the capital accounts of the members in
               accordance with the members' interests on the date of the Closing
               (prior to giving effect to the redemption contemplated by Article
               III.a.1.), that items attributable to extraordinary transactions
               occurring on the date of the Closing but not contemplated by this
               Article III shall be allocated to the capital accounts of the
               members in accordance with the members' interests after giving
               effect to such redemption, and that the corresponding items of
               taxable income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among
               the members consistent with such allocations to capital accounts,
               (vii) as may be required to provide that the redemption
               contemplated by Article III.a.1. shall be treated for tax
               purposes as having occurred immediately following the Closing,
               and that, upon such redemption, COPI's Preferred Interest shall
               be $35,000,000, (viii) as may be required to provide that
               allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction
               of CBHS with respect to property received from Magellan pursuant
               to Article III.a.17. shall be made in accordance with Internal
               Revenue Code Section 704(c), and (ix) as are consistent with the
               terms included in and the transactions contemplated by this
               Addendum A. COPI is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of
               the agreements contained in this Article III.b.5.

IV.  CLOSING CONDITIONS:

     a.   The obligations of each of the parties to consummate the transactions
          contemplated hereby shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of
          the following conditions:

          1.   Execution of definitive agreements reflecting the terms and
               conditions of the transactions set forth herein by all necessary
               parties thereto.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>


          2.   Receipt of all necessary consents, regulatory and other
               approvals, licenses, permits and other documentation required by
               state and federal laws and regulations and any agreements to
               which any of the parties is subject, to consummate the
               transactions contemplated hereby (including consent under
               Magellan's and CBHS' credit agreements and approval of the
               Governing Board of CBHS and the Board of Directors of Magellan),
               except (with respect to each party) for such consents, regulatory
               and other approvals, licenses, permits and other required
               documentation the failure to obtain which would not, individually
               or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such party
               or its business.

          3.   Receipt by each of Magellan and CBHS of a "fairness" opinion from
               their respective investment banking firms or other advisors that
               the transactions contemplated by this Addendum A are fair from a
               financial point of view. All parties shall bear their own legal
               fees and other costs, including fees with respect to fairness
               opinions.

          4.   Receipt of opinions of counsel to the respective parties
               regarding authority to enter into the transactions contemplated
               hereby, due authorization, and good standing.

V.   JOINT DEFENSE OF INVESTIGATIONS:

     a.   CBHS and Magellan acknowledge and agree that this Addendum A and the
          surviving provisions of the original transaction agreements allocate
          liability and provide certain cross-indemnification between the
          parties for claims related to the operation of the business conducted
          by the assets that have been or are being transferred to CBHS and that
          certain claims, including those related to the investigations set
          forth on Schedule 10A and Schedule 10B, involve time periods that may
          implicate liability for both parties. Excepting only reasonable
          arrangements to protect established privileges, no provision of, or
          action pursuant to this Addendum A shall limit or delay disclosures
          required by law, or the production of information or documents to any
          governmental entity, or cooperation with any governmental entity.
          Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that each party in
          good faith shall notify the other party of, and offer an opportunity
          to participate in, any meeting or communication that a party initiates
          with any governmental representative or entity. Where the government
          initiates communication with a party, the party may engage in the
          communication without indicating agreement to any settlement of
          government claims, but that party shall inform the other party of the
          communication as soon as practicable thereafter. A party must obtain
          approval from the other party of any communication undertaken for the
          purpose of discussing or agreeing to a settlement with the government
          concerning any governmental investigation, claim or interest, where
          such a settlement may reasonably be considered adversely to affect the
          financial interest of the other party. If the government should
          condition its engagement in communications concerning such settlement
          on communicating


                                      -11-
<PAGE>



          with only one party, that party may proceed to communicate alone with
          the government in pursuit of its individual interest, PROVIDED,
          HOWEVER, that, if the first party should so proceed, the parties shall
          submit to arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
          American Arbitration Association any assertion that the first party's
          communication or settlement with the government has caused an increase
          in the liability of the other party under any indemnification
          agreement or other allocation of liability among the parties. If a
          three-person arbitration panel should conclude that such an increase
          has been proved by the asserting party, the first party shall pay the
          asserting party the amount of the increase. Such an assertion of
          increased liability may not be made on the basis of any disclosure, or
          provision of information, documents or cooperation to the government
          that is required by law, subpoena or other official order.

     b.   The notice, participation and approval provisions of Article V.a.
          shall apply to all matters currently known to the parties to be
          related to government investigations, including, without limitation,
          those set forth on Schedule 10A and Schedule 10B, and any new
          investigations addressing liabilities attributable to both pre-June
          1997 and post-June 1997. Those provisions of Article V.a. shall not,
          however, apply to new government investigations that relate solely to
          Magellan's responsibility for financial liabilities attributable to
          pre-June 16, 1997, nor shall Article V.a. apply to new government
          investigations that relate solely to CBHS's responsibility for
          financial liabilities exclusively attributable to post-June 1997.

     c.   Each party shall have the right to advise the federal government of
          the terms of this Article V.

VI.  TERMINATION. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall
     occur within 30 days following the date of the Letter Agreement to which
     this Addendum A is appended (other than those which by the terms set forth
     herein will occur later). The failure to consummate such transactions
     within the applicable time period shall terminate all rights and
     obligations of the parties to each other hereunder and under the Letter
     Agreement (to the extent not previously performed).

                     MAGELLAN ENTERS INTO LETTER AGREEMENT
                      FOR PROPOSED RESTRUCTURED OWNERSHIP
                      OF CHARTER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEMS
                 COMPANY DIVESTS HOSPITAL-BASED PROVIDER ASSETS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COLUMBIA, Md.--August 16, 1999--Magellan Health Services, Inc. (NYSE:MGL), today
announced it has entered into a binding letter agreement, dated August 10, 1999,
with Crescent Real Estate Equities Company (Crescent), Crescent Operating, Inc.,
and Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC (CBHS), relating to a proposed
recapitalization of CBHS and restructuring of relationships among the parties.

Under the letter agreement, and consistent with Magellan's strategy of exiting
the hospital provider business, Magellan has agreed that it will, at the closing
of the transactions, transfer its remaining hospital-based assets to CBHS. These
assets include Magellan's interest in the hospital-based joint ventures,
franchise and call center operations, the Charter name and related intellectual
property, and certain other assets. In addition, Magellan will cancel any
accrued franchise fees due from CBHS. Thereafter, Magellan will no longer be
obligated to provide franchise services to CBHS.

Magellan will also effectively transfer 80 percent of its CBHS common interest
and all of its preferred interest to CBHS, leaving Magellan with a 10 percent
common membership interest, and Crescent Operating with a 90 percent common
membership interest and 100 percent of the preferred membership interest in
CBHS. Additionally, it is anticipated that CBHS management and staff will have
the opportunity to acquire up to 30 percent of CBHS common membership interests.

In connection with the execution of the letter agreement, Magellan, CBHS,
Crescent and Crescent Operating have agreed to provide each other with mutual
releases of all claims and disputes against each other, with certain specified
exceptions, and Crescent has deferred the August 1999 rent due from CBHS to the
last four months of 1999. Additionally, with the execution of the letter
agreement, the $2.5 million held in escrow in connection with a pending
arbitration between Magellan and Crescent Operating was released to Crescent
Operating.

Magellan and CBHS also have modified and extended their existing arrangement,
which designates CBHS a preferred provider of inpatient acute behavioral health
services.

"This transaction is a long anticipated and critical step in achieving our goal
of being a specialty managed care organization," said Henry T. Harbin, president
and CEO of Magellan Health Services. "From a financial perspective, it will
represent an improvement of both future earnings and cash flow through the
elimination of franchise expenses. And, most importantly, this divestiture
enables our executive management to focus more fully on business development
activities related to our core operations."

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the letter agreement is
anticipated to take place within 30 days, subject to the satisfaction of certain
customary closing conditions and consents, and other contingencies. If the
closing does not occur within 30 days, the letter agreement will terminate
unless extended by the parties.

                  MAGELLAN COMPLETES RESTRUCTURE OF OWNERSHIP
                      OF CHARTER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEMS
         COMPANY COMPLETES DIVESTITURE OF PROVIDER AND FRANCHISE ASSETS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COLUMBIA, Md.--September 14, 1999--Magellan Health Services, Inc. (NYSE:MGL),
today announced the completion of the divestiture of its hospital-based provider
and franchise assets and reduction in its ownership interest in Charter
Behavioral Health Systems (CBHS).

The divested assets include Magellan's franchise and call center operations,
related intellectual property, and certain other assets. The company will
transfer its hospital-based assets to CBHS at a later date. Magellan has also
cancelled franchise fees due from CBHS and will no longer be obligated to
provide franchise services to CBHS. While the transfer of these assets will
result in a primarily non-cash, after-tax charge of approximately $42 to $48
million in the fourth quarter, the transfer of the franchise assets to CBHS will
eliminate approximately $5 to $6 million per year in pre-tax losses related to
franchise operations.

Magellan has also redeemed 80 percent of its common interest and all of its
preferred interest in CBHS, leaving Magellan with a 10 percent common membership
interest. In addition, Magellan will no longer have any representation on CBHS's
board of directors.

"We are pleased with the closure of this divestiture," said Henry T. Harbin,
president and CEO of Magellan Health Services. "It completes a critical step in
achieving our goal of becoming a pure specialty managed care organization."

Magellan Health Services, Inc., is the nation's leading specialty managed care
organization. The Company comprises three main business units: Magellan
Behavioral Health, the nation's largest managed behavioral health care
organization, covering 65 million members; Magellan Specialty Health, a manager
of specialist networks and disease management programs for over three million
health plan members; and National MENTOR, which provides community-based
services to nearly 6,400 individuals.

Certain of the statements in this press release including, without limitation,
statements regarding charges and elimination of losses, constitute
forward-looking statements contemplated under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Risk factors such as the ability to accurately estimate the
charges and elimination of losses associated with the transaction described,
ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, ability to consummate strategic
alternatives, ability to generate new business and the impact of
governmental/regulatory issues and other factors could have a material adverse
impact on the Company or prevent the Company from achieving the results
discussed. For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors,
please see "Cautionary Statements--The Company" and "Cautionary
Statements--CBHS" in Magellan's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year

Commission on March 30, 1999 and the Company's most recent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 1999.
