EXHIBIT 99.7
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
LINKSOFT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Optionee:
This Stock Option Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") is issued
effective as of the 30th day of June, 1999 by QuadraMed Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("QuadraMed").
WHEREAS, the undersigned individual (the "Optionee") holds an
outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock of LinkSoft Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LinkSoft"), as evidenced by that certain Stock
Option Agreement dated January 26, 1999 (the "Option Agreement") by and between
LinkSoft and the Optionee issued under the LinkSoft Technologies, Inc. 1997
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
WHEREAS, LinkSoft has this day been acquired by QuadraMed through merger
of LinkSoft Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QuadraMed
("Acquisition Co."), with and into LinkSoft (the "Merger") pursuant to the terms
and conditions of that certain Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
June 18, 1999, by and among QuadraMed, Acquisition Co., LinkSoft and certain of
its stockholders (the "Merger Agreement").
WHEREAS, the provisions of the Merger Agreement require QuadraMed to
assume all obligations of LinkSoft under all outstanding options to purchase
shares of LinkSoft Common Stock at the consummation of the Merger.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, the
exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") in effect for the Merger is 0.1606167 of a
share of QuadraMed Common Stock for each outstanding share of LinkSoft Common
Stock.
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to become effective immediately upon the
consummation of the Merger (the "Effective Date") in order to reflect certain
adjustments to the Optionee's outstanding option which have become necessary by
reason of the assumption of such option by QuadraMed in connection with the
Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. The number of shares of LinkSoft Common Stock subject to the stock
option held by the Optionee immediately prior to the Effective Date (the
"LinkSoft Option"), the number of shares vested in accordance with the Stock
Option Plan and the exercise price payable per share are set forth in Exhibit
"A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. QuadraMed hereby
assumes, as of the Effective Date, all the duties and obligations of LinkSoft
under the LinkSoft Option. In connection with such assumption, the number of
shares of
2
QuadraMed Common Stock purchasable under the LinkSoft Option hereby assumed and
the exercise price payable thereunder have been adjusted to reflect the Exchange
Ratio. Accordingly, the number of shares of QuadraMed Common Stock subject to
the LinkSoft Option hereby assumed shall be the product determined by
multiplying the total number of shares of LinkSoft Common Stock subject to the
LinkSoft Option immediately prior to the Effective Date by the Exchange Ratio,
rounded down to the next whole share. The adjusted exercise price shall be the
quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of the assumed
LinkSoft Option immediately prior to the Effective Date by the Exchange Ratio,
rounded up to the next whole cent. The actual number of shares of QuadraMed
Common Stock now subject to the assumed LinkSoft Option, the number of shares of
QuadraMed Common Stock vested in accordance with the Stock Option Agreement and
the adjusted exercise price payable per share are each as specified for that
option as set forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
2. The intent of the foregoing adjustments to the assumed LinkSoft
Option is to assure that the spread between the aggregate fair market value of
the shares of QuadraMed Common Stock purchasable under such option and the
aggregate exercise price as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement will,
immediately after the consummation of the Merger, equal the spread which
existed, immediately prior to the Merger, between the then aggregate fair market
value of the LinkSoft Common Stock subject to the LinkSoft Option and the
aggregate exercise price in effect at such time under the Option Agreement. Such
adjustments are also designed to preserve, immediately after the Merger, on a
per share basis, the same ratio of exercise price per option share to fair
market value per share which existed under the LinkSoft Option immediately prior
to the Merger.
3. The following provisions shall govern the LinkSoft Option hereby
assumed by QuadraMed:
(a) Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in the
Option Agreement (i) to the "Corporation" shall mean QuadraMed, (ii) to "Shares"
shall mean shares of QuadraMed Common Stock and (iii) to the "Board" shall mean
the QuadraMed Board of Directors.
(b) The grant date and the expiration date of the assumed
LinkSoft Option and all other provisions which govern either the exercisability
or the termination of the assumed LinkSoft Option shall remain the same as set
forth in the Option Agreement applicable to that option and shall accordingly
govern and control the Optionee's rights under this Agreement to purchase
QuadraMed Common Stock.
(c) The adjusted exercise price payable for the QuadraMed Common
Stock subject to the assumed LinkSoft Option shall be payable in any of the
forms authorized under the Option Agreement applicable to that option. For
purposes of determining the holding period of any shares of QuadraMed Common
Stock delivered in payment of such adjusted exercise price,
-2-
3
the period for which such shares were held as LinkSoft Common Stock prior to the
Merger shall be taken into account.
(d) In order to exercise the assumed LinkSoft Option, the
Optionee must deliver to QuadraMed a written notice of exercise in which the
number of shares of QuadraMed Common Stock to be purchased thereunder must be
indicated. The exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the adjusted
exercise price payable for the purchased shares of QuadraMed Common Stock and
should be delivered to QuadraMed at the following address:
QuadraMed Corporation
Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Esq.
0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
4. Except to the extent specifically modified by this Agreement, all of
the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement as in effect immediately prior
to the Merger shall continue in full force and effect and shall not in any way
be amended, revised or otherwise affected by this Agreement.
