Exhibit 10.7
CONVERSION AGREEMENT AND
AMENDMENT OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS CONVERSION AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the
"Agreement"), dated as of December 31, 1998, is made by and among CAMINUS ENERGY
VENTURES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CEV"), ZAK ASSOCIATES,
INC., a Delaware corporation ("ZN Corp"), ZAI*NET SOFTWARE, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("ZN LP"), XXXXX XXXXXXX, an individual ("Xxxxxxx"), and
ROONEY SOFTWARE, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Rooney")
(collectively, ZN Corp, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx are referred to as the "Xxxxxxx
Parties").
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, the parties (other than Rooney) are parties to a Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of May 12, 1998 pursuant to which,
among other things, CEV purchased the one percent (1%) general partnership
interest and seventy percent (70%) of the limited partnership interests in ZN LP
from ZN Corp, with ZN Corp retaining the remaining twenty-nine percent (29%)
limited partnership interest therein;
WHEREAS, ZN Corp subsequently transferred its entire remaining limited
partnership interest in ZN LP to Rooney, and Rooney currently holds all right,
title and interest therein;
WHEREAS, the Xxxxxxx Parties and CEV desire that Rooney exchange such
remaining limited partnership interest in ZN LP for a newly issued Series A
Membership Interest in CEV, for consideration and on the terms set forth in
Section 1(a) below and as reflected on Appendix A attached hereto (which
appendix reflects all of the Membership Interests in CEV issued and outstanding
and subject to outstanding options as of the date hereof, after giving effect to
the exchange contemplated by this Agreement);
WHEREAS, the parties also wish to amend, and confirm their agreement with
respect to, certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to implement the foregoing and in consideration
of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Exchange of Securities.
(a) Securities Held by Rooney. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Agreement, the parties agree that Rooney shall surrender
and exchange its entire remaining partnership interest in ZN LP, free and clear
of any and all liens, claims and
2
encumbrances (other than those created by the Amended and Restated Limited
Partnership Agreement of ZN LP dated as of May 12, 1998, as further amended to
the date hereof (the "ZN LP Partnership Agreement")), to CEV in consideration of
the issuance by CEV to Rooney of 21,579,728 notional shares of the Series A
Membership Interests in CEV, as indicated on the attached Appendix A. The
parties agree that the foregoing exchange shall be deemed to occur for all
purposes on the date of this Agreement, and that the capital contribution that
Rooney shall be deemed to have made to CEV in respect of such exchange is equal
to $10,339,350 (i.e., 21% times $49,235,000). For purposes of determining the
exercise price of the GFI Option to purchase 10% of CEV, pursuant to Section 5.3
of Appendix B to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of CEV, the parties
agree that the exercise price with respect to the GFI Option shall be increased
by an amount equal to $1,033,935 (i.e., 10% of $10,339,350). CEV acknowledges
that Rooney intends to divide the foregoing Series A Membership Interest among
Rooney's existing equity holders (including option holders, as applicable) as
set forth on the attached Appendix B; CEV agrees to issue notional shares of its
Series A Membership Interest to such persons (in an aggregate amount equal to
21,579,728 notional shares of Series A Membership Interest) in exchange for the
Series A Membership Interest being issued to Rooney pursuant to this Agreement,
subject to such persons executing a copy of the LLC Agreement or a joinder
thereto. At such time, such persons shall be admitted as Members of CEV. The
parties also acknowledge that subsequent to the issuance to Rooney of the Series
A Membership Interest contemplated by this Agreement, CEV expects to purchase
from SS&C Technologies, Inc. ("SS&C") SS&C's ownership interest in CEV.
(b) Conversion of ZN LP Options. The parties acknowledge that
ZN LP previously adopted a 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "ZN Option Plan"),
which provides for the issuance of options to acquire partnership interests in
ZN LP (the "Options"). Pursuant to Section 4.3 of the ZN Option Plan, as a
result of the exchange described in paragraph (a) above, all previously issued
Options automatically convert into options to acquire Membership Interests of
CEV. Consequently, the parties acknowledge that, as a result of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the ZN Option Plan shall become a plan to
acquire up to 4,960,857 notional shares of the Series B Membership Interests of
CEV and that (ii) all previously issued Options shall be deemed converted into
options to acquire notional shares of the Series B Membership Interests of CEV,
on the same basis that the Rooney interest in ZN LP is being converted into a
Series A Membership Interest in CEV. Except for such conversion, the parties
agree that the terms governing the ZN Option Plan and the option agreements
evidencing option grants thereunder shall remain in full force and effect in
accordance with their terms. Further, the parties agree to cause the ZN Option
Plan, promptly following the date hereof, to be expanded by increasing the
aggregate equity available thereunder to a total of 7,342,068 notional shares of
the Series B Membership Interests of CEV subject to issuance upon exercise of
options granted pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the ZN Option
Plan.

exemption therefrom for transactions not involving any public offering, that
