Exhibit 10.16
1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN
ADAC HEALTHCARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
(Effective November 10, 1997)
ARTICLE 1.
INTRODUCTION
The Plan was originally adopted by the Board and approved by the
Company's sole stockholder, ADAC Laboratories, a California
corporation, on November 10, 1997. The purpose of the Plan is to
promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of
incremental stockholder value by (a) encouraging directors, officers,
employees, partners, consultants and advisors to focus on critical
long-range objectives, (b) attracting and retaining such persons with
exceptional qualifications and (c) linking such persons directly to
stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. Options
granted under the Plan shall be designated at the time of grant as
either non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
ARTICLE 2.
ADMINISTRATION
2.1 The Committee. The Plan shall be administered by a
Committee (the "Committee") that shall consist of two or more persons
who are "non-employee directors," as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act, and "outside directors," as defined in Section
162(m) of the Code.
2.2 Powers of the Committee. Subject to the other provisions
of the Plan and the approval of any relevant authorities, the Committee
shall have the authority, in its discretion:
(a) to determine the Fair Market Value;
(b) to select the Participants to whom Options may from
time to time be granted hereunder;
(c) to determine the number of Common Shares to be
covered by each Option granted hereunder;
(d) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(e) to determine the terms and conditions of any Option
granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not
limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options may be
exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting
acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction
or limitation regarding any Option or the Common Shares relating
thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Committee, in its
sole discretion, shall determine;
(f) to determine whether and under what circumstances an
Option may be settled in cash instead of Common Shares;
(g) to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the
then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common
Shares covered by such Option has declined since the date the Option
was granted, or to initiate an option exchange program;
(h) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-
plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax
treatment under foreign tax laws;
(i) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Common
Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option that number of Common
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be
withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Common Shares to be withheld
shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be determined. All elections by Optionees to have Common Shares
withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such
conditions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable; and
(j) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Options granted pursuant to the Plan.
2.3 Effect of Committee's Decision. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and
binding on all Optionees.
ARTICLE 3.
SHARES RESERVED UNDER THE PLAN
Subject to the provisions of Article 7 of the Plan, the maximum
aggregate number of Common Shares which may be subject to option and
sold under the Plan is 1,484,968 Common Shares. The Common Shares may
be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Shares. The maximum
number of Common Shares that may be available for grant to any
Participant in any financial year of the Company shall not exceed
300,000 Common Shares.
If an Option expires or becomes unexercisable without have been
exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an option exchange
program, the unpurchased Common Shares which were subject thereto shall
become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the
Plan has terminated). However, Common Shares that have actually been
issued under the Plan upon exercise of an Option, shall not be returned
to the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution
under the Plan, except that if Common Shares subject to vesting
restrictions are repurchased by the Company at their original purchase
price, such Common Shares shall become available for future grant under
the Plan.
ARTICLE 4.

Participants by the Committee: (i) directors, officers, employees,
consultants and advisors of the Company, (ii) directors, officers,

which is an equity owner of a Controlled Entity.
ARTICLE 5.
OPTIONS
5.1 Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the
Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between Optionee
and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms
and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and
conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the
Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement.
The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into
under the Plan need not be identical.
5.2. Options Nontransferable. Unless the Stock Option Agreement
provides otherwise, no Option or interest therein may be transferred,
assigned or pledged by Optionee other than by will, the laws of descent
and distribution or operation of law. Unless the Stock Option
Agreement provides otherwise, an Option held by an individual may be
exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by him or her.
5.3 Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall
specify the number of Common Shares subject to the Option which number
may be adjusted in accordance with Article 7.
5.4 Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify
the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Incentive Stock Options
shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the
date of grant. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Exercise Price
under any Option shall be determined by the Committee.
5.5 Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall
specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become
exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of
the Option provided that the term of an Option that is an Incentive
Stock Option shall in no event exceed ten (10) years from the date of
grant. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated
exercisability in the event of Optionee's death, disability or
retirement and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term
in the event of the termination of Optionee's employment or service.
5.6 Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew
outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding
Options (to the extent not previously exercised) in return for the
grant of new Options at the same or a different price. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the
consent of Optionee, impair his or her rights or obligations under such
Option.
5.7 Restrictions on Transfer of Common Shares. Any Common
Shares issued upon exercise of an option shall be subject to such
special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first
refusal and other transfer restrictions as are set forth in the
Stockholders Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee.
Any additional restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock
Option Agreement.
5.8 Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Participants who are employees of the
Company or one of its subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section
424(f) of the Code) at the date of grant. The aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the Common
Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable
for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under all
option plans of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. Incentive
Stock Options may not be granted to any Participant who, at time of
grant, owns stock possessing (after the application of the attribution
rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, unless
the option price is fixed at not less than 110% of the Fair Market
Value of the Common Shares on the date of grant and the exercise of
such option is prohibited by its term after the expiration of five
years from the date of grant of such option.
ARTICLE 6.
PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES AND WITHHOLDING TAXES
Upon exercise of an Option, the Exercise Price of such Option,
together with the full amount of all federal and state withholding or
other employment taxes resulting from such exercise, shall be required
to be delivered to the Company. Subject to the sole discretion of the
Committee, all or any part of the aggregate Exercise Price and
withholding tax obligation may be satisfied by Optionee delivering
Common Shares, by having the Company withhold a portion of the Common
Shares that otherwise would be issued to Optionee under such Options or
by Optionee delivering a full recourse promissory note. Common Shares
so delivered or withheld shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on
the exercise date of the Option. The payment of the exercise price and
withholding taxes by delivering or withholding Common Shares to the
Company shall be subject to the discretion of the Committee and to such
restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions
required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
restrictions necessary to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes. The terms of the promissory note delivered in
payment of all or any portion of the aggregate Exercise Price and
withholding taxes and any required collateral to secure the obligations
under such promissory note and the applicable rate of interest thereon
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
ARTICLE 7.
PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION
7.1 General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a
declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in
amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a
combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by
reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, a
recapitalization, a spinoff or a similar occurrence, the Committee
shall make appropriate adjustments in (a) the number of Options
available for future grant under Article 3 and (b) the number of Common
Shares covered by each outstanding Option, including a commensurate
adjustment in the Exercise Price, if necessary, under each outstanding
Option.
7.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee shall notify
each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of
such proposed transaction. The Committee in its discretion may provide
for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or Option until
fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Common
Shares covered thereby, including Common Shares as to which the Option
would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Committee may
provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Common
Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such
Common Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes
place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has
not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately
prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
7.3 Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In
the event that the successor corporation refused to assume or
substitute for the Option, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have
the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Common Shares covered
thereby, including Common Shares as to which it would not otherwise be
exercisable. If an Option is exercisable in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Committee
shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option
shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days
from the date of such notice, and the Option shall be considered
assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option confers
the right to purchase or receive, for each Common Share subject to the
Option immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of common stock of
the Company for each Common Share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the
type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding common stock of the Company); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not
solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the
Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide
the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for
each Common Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of
the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to
the par share consideration received by holders of common stock of the
Company in the merger or sale of assets.
7.4 Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Article
7, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock
dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of
stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any
class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Common Shares subject
to an Option. The grant of an Option under the Plan shall not affect
in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or
business structure, to merge or consolidate or dissolve, liquidate,
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
ARTICLE 8.
LIMITATION OF RIGHTS
8.1 Employment Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Option granted
under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain
employed by the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company and its
Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate the employment of any
employee at any time, and for any reason, subject only to a written
employment agreement (if any).
8.2 Stockholders' Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend
rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to
any Common Shares covered by his or her Option prior to the issuance of
such Common Shares. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or
other rights for which the record date is prior to the date when such
certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in Article 7.
8.3 Government Regulations. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, the obligations of the Company with respect to Common
Shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any
governmental agencies as may be required. The Company reserves the
right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares
pursuant to any Option until such time as any legal requirements or
regulations have been met relating to the issuance of such Common
Shares or to their registration, qualification or exemption from
registration or qualification under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws. With respect to any issuance of
Common Shares, the Company shall have no obligation to either (a)
register the issuance of the Common Shares under the Securities Act or
(b) issue Common Shares to persons who are not "Accredited Investors"
in reliance upon the exemption provided under Regulation D as
promulgated under the Securities Act.

in any fiscal year, or if otherwise required by applicable laws,

initial public offering by the Company, the consideration required under
any cashless exercise program established by the Company; (b) an executed
counterpart signature page to the Stockholders Agreement (the
"Stockholders Agreement") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B; and
(c) such other documents or representations as the Company may reasonably
request in order to comply with securities, tax or other laws then
