Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
Dear ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇:
This letter sets forth our entire agreement with respect to the
550,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of Health Management Systems,
Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company"), being purchased by you as of the
date hereof from the Company. As used herein, such shares of Common Stock are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Shares".
The total amount to be paid by you to the Company to purchase the
Shares is $721,875 or $1.3125 per Share. As payment in full for the Shares, you
are hereby delivering to the Company such sum which has been loaned to you by
the Company's subsidiary, Accelerated Claims Processing, Inc. ("ACP"). To
evidence such loan, you have delivered to ACP your promissory note in the form
of Exhibit A hereto (the "Note") in the aggregate principal amount of $721,875
payable to the order of ACP.
1. Right and Option of Company to Repurchase Shares.
(a) In the event that you cease to perform services for the Company
as a result of (i) your disability (as defined in your employment agreement with
the Company dated as of October 2, 2000) or (ii) the termination (as a result of
your resignation or termination by the Company with our without cause or
otherwise) of your position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, the Company shall thereupon have the right and option, but not the
obligation, to purchase from you all, or any part, of the Purchase Option Shares
(as hereinafter defined) held by you as of the date of such disability or
termination. The purchase price to be paid by the Company to purchase such
Purchase Option Shares under this Section 1(a) shall be an amount equal to the
amount paid by you pursuant to this Agreement to purchase such Purchase Option
Shares.
(b) The Company may exercise the right and option set forth in
Section 1(a) above by giving you (or, in the case of your death, your legal
representative) a written notice of
2
election to purchase at any time within 90 days after the termination of your
employment with the Company. The closing for the purchase by the Company of any
such Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1 will take place at the
offices of the Company on the date specified in such written notice, which date
shall be a business day not later than 30 days after the date such notice is
given. At such closing, you will deliver such Shares, duly endorsed for
transfer, against payment of the purchase price therefor. Such purchase price
shall be payable to you by check payable to your order. To the extent the
Company chooses not to exercise such right and option under this Section 1 to
repurchase any Purchase Option Shares, such Purchase Option Shares shall
thereafter cease to be subject to the provisions of this Section 1.
2. Purchase Option Shares.
(a) As of the date hereof, fifty percent (50%) of the Shares (or
275,000 Shares) shall be subject to the Company's purchase option pursuant to
Section 1(a) (the "Purchase Option Shares") and fifty percent (50%) of the
Shares (or 275,000 Shares) shall not be so subject ("Unencumbered Shares"). The
Purchase Option Shares shall cease to be subject to the Company's purchase
option (and, thus, become Unencumbered Shares) on the first anniversary of the
date hereof as long as you shall be performing services for the Company as its
President and Chief Executive Officer on such anniversary.
(b) The Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion,
may at any time accelerate the time set forth in Section 2(a) above at which the
Shares shall cease to subject to the Company's purchase option.
(c) In the event that (i) you die or (ii) a Change of Control
Transaction (as defined in your employment agreement with the Company dated as
of October 2, 2000) occurs, in either case during the period during which you
are providing services to the Company as described in this Agreement, then 100%
of the Shares shall cease to be subject to the Company's purchase option on and
as of the date of your death or the date of the Change of Control Transaction.
3. Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of Sections 1,
2, 4 and 5 hereof, you will have all rights of a stockholder with respect to all
Shares being purchased by you today, including the right to vote such Shares and
to receive any dividends paid thereon.

4. Transfer Restrictions on Shares. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, you hereby agree with the Company
that you will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, convey or otherwise dispose of
any Shares, or subject the same to any lien, encumbrance, mortgage or other
security interest of any kind whatsoever, (i) so long as the Note shall be
outstanding or (ii) prior to the date on which such Shares (or a portion
thereof) are no longer subject to repurchase by the Company pursuant to Section
2.
5. Recording of Assignments. The Company shall not record any
assignment, transfer or other disposition of any Shares on its transfer books
unless the provisions of this Agreement shall have been fully complied with and
the Company shall have received satisfactory evidence thereof.
6. Certain Tax Matters. You hereby acknowledge that you understand
the Federal, state and local income tax consequences of your purchase of the
Shares, the repurchase provisions relating to the Shares, and any subsequent
sale of the Shares, including, if applicable, the consequences of making (or not
making) a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 with respect to the Shares. In addition, you fully understand that, at the
time that you realize any compensation income in respect of the Shares, the
Company will be required to withhold Federal, state and local taxes on the full
amount of the compensation income realized by you. Accordingly, at or prior to
the time that you realize any compensation income in respect of the Shares, you
hereby agree to provide the Company with cash funds equal to the total Federal,
state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company in respect of such
compensation income, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company
regarding such payment. It is understood that all matters with respect to the
total amount of taxes to be withheld in respect of such compensation income
shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
7. Escrow Agent. In order to facilitate any repurchase of the Shares
by the Company under this Agreement, the stock certificates representing any
part of the Shares shall, for so long as such Shares are subject to repurchase
under any of the provisions of this Agreement (including any period during which
the Company has an option to repurchase and any period after the Company gives
notice of its election to repurchase but before the closing of such repurchase
has occurred), remain in the custody of the Company acting as escrow agent and
as custodian for your account. You agree to provide the Company, acting in such
custodial capacity, with a stock power or other instrument of transfer,
appropriately endorsed in blank, in respect of the Shares.
8. Investment Representations. You hereby represent and warrant to
the Company that you are acquiring the Shares for your own account for
investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof and that you understand that (i) the Shares are not being
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission by reason
3
4
of their being issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, and (ii) the Shares must be held indefinitely by
you unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under that Act or is
exempt from such registration.
9. Legend on Stock Certificates. Each stock certificate representing
the Shares shall be conspicuously endorsed with the following legend written on
the face thereof:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER OF
THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND LIMITED
