On January 5, 2010, QuadraMed Corporation (the “Company”) announced Thomas J. Dunn’s appointment as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, effective January 5, 2010.

Mr. Dunn (49) joins the Company from CareMedic Corporation, where he was vice president and executive team member from 2007 to 2009. From 2004 to 2007, he served as senior vice president at Eclipsys Corporation, where he directed domestic and international sales and account management. Mr. Dunn began his career at Shared Medical Systems (SMS), which is now part of Siemens Medical Solutions USA. During his 22 years at SMS, he held a variety of positions with steadily increasing leadership responsibilities, culminating in his role as the national vice president of IT Solutions. Mr. Dunn holds a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and business administration from Ursinus College in Collegeville, Penn.

In connection with Mr. Dunn’s appointment, Steven V. Russell’s service to the Company will terminate on January 29, 2010. Mr. Russell has served as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Corporate Development. Under the terms of Mr. Russell’s Employment Agreement, as amended, such termination will constitute an involuntary termination.

In connection with Dunn’s appointment as Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, the Company and Mr. Dunn have entered into an Employment Agreement, Inducement Stock Option Agreement and Proprietary Information and Non-Competition Agreement. The Employment Agreement, effective January 5, 2010, includes the following material provisions:

 

   

One-year initial term, automatically renewable for one-year extensions, unless either party provides advance written notice;

 

   

Signing bonus of $25,000;

 

   

Annual base salary of $240,000;

 

   

Eligibility for annual incentive compensation bonus up to 37.5% of his then-current annual base salary, starting in 2010;

 

   

Eligibility for up to $150,000 (or such higher amount as the Chief Executive Officer, Compensation Committee and/or Board may determine in their sole discretion) in annual sales commissions under the Company’s Sales Compensation Plan or any replacement commission plan (the “Sales Compensation Plan”) in the event that “on target” sales are achieved under such Sales Compensation Plan, starting with the 2010 calendar year;

 

   

Grant of 70,000 non-qualified stock options (details of this grant are provided in the Inducement Stock Option Agreement);

 

   

Reimbursement of Mr. Dunn’s customary, ordinary and necessary business expenses;

 

   

In the event of an Involuntary Termination (other than a Termination for Cause (as defined in the employment agreement)) and not in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Dunn will receive severance benefits of:

 

   

12 months of his then-current annual rate of base salary paid in 12 equal monthly installments;

 

   

his bonus payable under the Company’s then-current incentive compensation plan (“ICP”) for the year in which such termination occurred (calculated as if Mr. Dunn fully achieved any goals necessary for his full ICP payment and based upon the Company’s actual achievement of its goals under the ICP), pro-rated through the date of such termination, paid in a lump sum when the Company pays ICP bonuses to other eligible employees for service in the year of Mr. Dunn’s termination, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the year of Mr. Dunn’s involuntary termination; and

 

   

12 months of the same health benefits to which he (and his dependents, as applicable) had been entitled as an employee.
