Exhibit 99.6
ADDENDUM
TO
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
The following provisions are hereby incorporated into, and are
hereby made a part of, that certain Stock Option Agreement dated (the "Option
Agreement") by and between QuadraMed Corporation (the "Corporation") and
("Optionee") evidencing the stock option (the "Option") granted on such date to
Optionee under the terms of the Corporation's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, and
such provisions shall be effective immediately. All capitalized terms in this
Addendum, to the extent not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Option Agreement.
INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION FOLLOWING
CORPORATE TRANSACTION
1. To the extent the Option is, in connection with a Corporate
Transaction, to be assumed or replaced with a comparable option in accordance
with Paragraph 6 of the Option Agreement, the Option shall not accelerate upon
the occurrence of that Corporate Transaction, and the Option shall accordingly
continue, over Optionee's period of Service after the Corporate Transaction, to
become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments in
accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement. However, immediately
upon an Involuntary Termination of Optionee's Service within eighteen (18)
months following such Corporate Transaction, the Option (or any replacement
grant), to the extent outstanding at the time but not otherwise fully
exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that the Option shall become
immediately exercisable for all the Option Shares at the time subject to the
Option and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully
vested shares. The Option shall remain so exercisable until the earlier to occur
of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period
measured from the date of the Involuntary Termination.
2. For purposes of this Addendum, an INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION
shall mean the termination of Optionee's Service by reason of:
(i) Optionee's involuntary dismissal or discharge by
the Corporation for reasons other than Misconduct, or
(ii) Optionee's voluntary resignation following (A) a
change in Optionee's position with the Corporation (or Parent or
Subsidiary employing Optionee) which materially reduces Optionee's
level of responsibility, (B) a reduction in Optionee's level of
compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and participation
in any corporate-performance based bonus or incentive programs) by more
than fifteen percent (15%) or
2
(C) a relocation of Optionee's place of employment by more than fifty
(50) miles, provided and only if such change, reduction or relocation
is effected by the Corporation without Optionee's consent.
3. The provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Addendum shall govern
the period for which the Option is to remain exercisable following the
Involuntary Termination of Optionee's Service within eighteen (18) months after
the Corporate Transaction and shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in
Paragraph 5 of the Option Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Quadramed Corporation has caused this
Addendum to be executed by its duly-authorized officer, and Optionee has
executed this Addendum, all as of the Effective Date specified below.
