ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On November 9, 1997, QuadraMed Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") acquired (the "Acquisition") 56.7% of the
outstanding capital stock of Medicus Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Medicus"). The Acquisition was completed by means of Stock Purchase
Agreements, dated as of November 9, 1997, with certain stockholders of Medicus
(the "Selling Stockholders"). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase
Agreements, the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell an aggregate of 3,111,105
shares of Medicus Common Stock to the Company. In consideration for the transfer
of these shares to the Company, the Company paid to the Selling Stockholders
$7.50 per share, in cash, without interest, or approximately $23.3 million,
together with warrants (the "Warrants") entitling the Selling Stockholders to
acquire 0.3125 shares of Company Common Stock for each share of the Medicus
Common Stock sold (subject to adjustment in accordance with the Agreement). The
Warrant entitles the Selling Stockholders to purchase Company Common Stock at a
price of $24.00 per share, on the terms set forth in the Warrant.
Simultaneously with the execution of the Stock Purchase
Agreements, the Company and Medicus entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of November 9, 1997 (the "Agreement") pursuant to which
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will be merged, subject to the approval
of the stockholders of Medicus, with and into the Medicus (the "Merger"). At the
effective time of the Merger, the stockholders of Medicus participating in the
Merger will exchange all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for any of
(i) a cash payment of $7.50 per share of Medicus Common Stock, (ii) 0.3125
shares of Company Common Stock per share of Medicus Common Stock sold (subject
to adjustment in accordance with the Agreement), or (iii) a combination of
Company Common Stock and cash. In addition, all stock options previously issued
by Medicus and outstanding at the time of the Merger will be assumed by the
Company at an exchange ratio of 0.3565 shares of Company Common Stock for each
share of Medicus Common Stock subject to such options. The Acquisition is
intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and will be accounted for as a purchase
transaction.
The amount of consideration paid by the Company was determined
by arms length negotiations between the parties. The Company used a portion of
its working capital for the Acquisition and will use a portion of its working
capital for the consummation of the Merger.

EXHIBIT 2.10
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
BY AND BETWEEN
QUADRAMED CORPORATION
AND
MEDICUS SYSTEMS CORPORATION
November 9, 1997
<PAGE> 2
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") is
made and entered into as of November 9, 1997, by and among QuadraMed
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("QuadraMed"), and Medicus Systems
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Medicus").
RECITALS
A. The Boards of Directors of Medicus and QuadraMed believe it
is in the best interests of their respective companies and the stockholders of
their respective companies that Medicus and a wholly owned subsidiary of
QuadraMed to be formed for the purposes hereof ("Merger Sub") combine into a
single company through the statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into Medicus
(the "Merger") and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger.
B. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, the outstanding
shares of Medicus Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Medicus Common Stock"), shall
be converted into shares of QuadraMed Common Stock, $.01 par value ("QuadraMed
Common Stock"), or cash, or a combination thereof, on the terms set forth
herein.
C. Medicus and QuadraMed desire to make certain representations
and warranties and other agreements in connection with the Merger.
D. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement and as an
inducement to QuadraMed to enter into this Agreement, certain of the
stockholders of Medicus who in the aggregate beneficially own in excess of 50%
of the outstanding Common Stock of Medicus have on the date hereof entered into
stock purchase agreements (the "Stock Purchase Agreements") to sell the shares
of Medicus' Common Stock owned by such person in exchange for a cash payment and
a warrant to purchase QuadraMed Common Stock (the "Warrants").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and
representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2)
and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a
Certificate of Merger to be filed in
1
<PAGE> 3
respect of the Merger (the "Certificate of Merger") and the applicable
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), Merger Sub shall be
merged with and into Medicus, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub
shall cease and Medicus shall continue as the surviving corporation. Medicus as
the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to
as the "Surviving Corporation."
1.2 Closing; Effective Time. The closing of the transactions
contemplated hereby (the "Closing") shall take place as soon as practicable
after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article
VI hereof or at such other time as the parties hereto agree (the "Closing
Date"). The Closing shall take place at the offices of Brobeck, Phleger &
Harrison LLP, One Market, Spear Street Tower, San Francisco, California 94105,
or at such other location as the parties hereto agree. In connection with the
Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing
the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
and with the Recorder of the County in which the registered office of each of
Medicus and Merger Sub is located, in accordance with the relevant provisions of
the DGCL (the time of such filing being the "Effective Time").
1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of
the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and
the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of Medicus and Merger Sub shall vest in the
Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Medicus and
Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving
Corporation.
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.
(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of
Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective
Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation
until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of
Incorporation.
(b) The Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation
until thereafter amended.
1.5 Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time, the directors
and officers of Merger Sub shall become the directors and officers of the
Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or
appointed and qualified.
1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. By virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of Merger Sub, Medicus or the holders of any of the
following securities, subject to the provisions of this Section 1.6:
2
<PAGE> 4
(a) Conversion of Medicus Common Stock. At the
Effective Time, each share of Medicus Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Medicus Common
Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) will be canceled and
extinguished and be converted automatically into (i) the right to receive $7.50
in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Amount"); or (ii) the right to
receive 0.3125 shares of QuadraMed Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio");
provided, however, that (1) if the QuadraMed Stock Value (as defined below)
exceeds $27.60, then the Exchange Ratio shall be the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) $8.625 by (B) the QuadraMed Stock Value, and (2) if the QuadraMed
Stock Value is less than $24.00, then the Exchange Ratio shall be the quotient
obtained by dividing (A) $7.50 by (B) the QuadraMed Stock Value; provided
further, however, that if the QuadraMed Stock Value is less than $20.40, then
QuadraMed may, at its sole discretion, elect to have all or any portion of the
shares of Medicus Common Stock converted into the Per Share Cash Amount (the
"QuadraMed Cash Election"); or (iii) the right to receive a combination of
shares of QuadraMed Common Stock and cash, all in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 1.6. In the event of the QuadraMed Cash Election in which less
than all of the outstanding shares of Medicus Common Stock will be converted
into cash, the shares of Medicus Common Stock to be converted into cash as a
result of the QuadraMed Cash Election will be selected pro rata according to the
number of shares with respect to which a Stock Election (as defined below) has
been made. The amounts paid in the Merger in exchange for shares of Medicus
Common Stock shall be referred to herein as the "Merger Consideration". For
purposes hereof, the "QuadraMed Stock Value" shall be equal to the average of
the closing prices of QuadraMed Common Stock during the fifteen (15) days prior
to the second day prior to the date of the Medicus Stockholders Meeting (as
defined in Section 2.23).
(b) Cancellation of Medicus Common Stock Owned by
QuadraMed or Medicus. At the Effective Time, all shares of Medicus Common Stock
that are owned by Medicus as treasury stock and each share of Medicus Common
Stock owned by QuadraMed or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
QuadraMed or of Medicus immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.
(c) Medicus Stock Option Plans. At the Effective Time,
the Medicus 1989 Stock Option Plan, the Medicus 1991 Stock Option Plan, the
Medicus 1993 Stock Option Plan, the Medicus 1993 Performance Stock Option Plan,
the Medicus 1994 Stock Option Plan, the Medicus 1994 Directors' Stock Option
Plan, the Medicus 1995 RCM Stock Option Plan, the Medicus 1996 C.E.O. Stock
Option Plan, the Medicus 1996 C.E.O. Replacement Stock Option Plan, the Medicus
1996 C.E.O. Special Stock Option Plan, the Medicus 1997 Employee Stock Option
and Restricted Stock Plan, the Medicus 1997 Directors' Stock Option Plan
(collectively, the "Medicus Stock Option Plans"), the Stock Exchange and
Subscription warrants dated March 19, 1997 issued by Medicus to Richard C.
Jelinek and a trust for his benefit (the "Jelinek Warrants") and the Stock
Subscription Warrant dated March 1, 1996 issued by Medicus to TriHealth, Inc.
(the "TriHealth Warrant") and all options or rights to purchase Medicus Common
3
<PAGE> 5
Stock then outstanding under the Medicus Stock Option Plans, the Jelinek
Warrants and the TriHealth Warrant shall be assumed by QuadraMed in accordance
with Section 5.11.
(d) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time,
each share of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of Merger Sub ("Merger Sub Common
Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable share of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Surviving
Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any
such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock
of the Surviving Corporation.
(e) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio and Per Share Cash
Amount. The Exchange Ratio and the Per Share Cash Amount shall be adjusted to
reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend
(including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into QuadraMed
Common Stock or Medicus Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other
like change with respect to QuadraMed Common Stock or Medicus Common Stock
occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
(f) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of
QuadraMed Common Stock will be issued in the Merger. In lieu of any fractional
shares that would otherwise be issuable in the Merger in exchange for shares of
Medicus Common Stock, QuadraMed shall pay the proportionate amount of the Per
Share Cash Amount that would be payable in respect of such fractional share.
(g) Limitation on Shares Issuable. In no event shall
the aggregate number of shares of QuadraMed Common Stock which QuadraMed is
obligated to issue (1) upon the exercise of Warrants and (2) in exchange for
outstanding shares of Medicus Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement exceed a
total of 1,800,000 shares. In the event that the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that holders of Warrants and holders of Medicus Common Stock have
elected to receive as described in clauses (1) and (2) in the immediately
preceding sentence exceeds 1,800,000 shares, QuadraMed shall only be required to
issue 1,800,000 shares of QuadraMed Common Stock and such holders shall be
entitled to receive shares of QuadraMed Common Stock equal to each holder's pro
rata portion of the total amount of shares issued by QuadraMed as described in
clauses (1) and (2), based on the total number of shares each holder and each
elected to receive.
(h) Election for Shares or Cash. Each record holder
immediately prior to the Effective Time of shares of Medicus Common Stock will
be entitled (i) to elect to receive cash for none, some or all of such shares (a
"Cash Election"), (ii) to elect to receive QuadraMed Common Stock for none, some
or all of such shares (a "Stock Election"), or (iii) to indicate that such
record holder has no preference as to the receipt of cash or QuadraMed Common
Stock for such shares (a "Non-Election"). All such elections shall be made on a
form designed for that
4
<PAGE> 6
purpose (a "Form of Election"). Holders of record of shares of Medicus Common
Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative
capacities (a "Representative") may submit multiple Forms of Election, provided
that such Representative certifies that each such Form of Election covers all
the shares of Medicus Common Stock held by each Representative for a particular
beneficial owner. All shares of Medicus Common Stock covered by Stock Elections
(the "Stock Election Shares") and all shares of Medicus Common Stock covered by
Non-Elections (the "Non-Election Shares") shall be converted into the right to
receive QuadraMed Common Stock, and the Cash Election Shares shall be converted
into the right to receive cash, without interest.
(i) Election Procedures. Elections shall be made by
holders of Medicus Common Stock by mailing or otherwise delivering to the
Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 1.7) a Form of Election. To be effective,
a Form of Election must be properly completed, signed and submitted to the
Exchange Agent and accompanied by the certificates representing the shares of
Medicus Common Stock as to which the election is being made (or by an
appropriate trust company in the United States or a member of a registered
national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (the "NASD")). QuadraMed will have the discretion which it may delegate in
whole or in part to the Exchange Agent, to determine whether Forms of Election
have been properly completed, signed and submitted or revoked and to disregard
immaterial defects in Forms of Election. The decision of QuadraMed (or the
Exchange Agent) in such matters shall be conclusive and binding. Neither
QuadraMed nor the Exchange Agent will be under any obligation to notify any
person of any defect in a Form of Election submitted to the Exchange Agent. The
Exchange Agent shall also make all computations contemplated by this Section 1.6
and all such computations shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of
Medicus Common Stock. For the purposes hereof, a holder of Medicus Common Stock
who does not submit a Form of Election which is received by the Exchange Agent
prior to the Election Deadline (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed to have
made a Non-Election. If QuadraMed or the Exchange Agent shall determine that any
purported Cash Election or Stock Election was not properly made, such purported
Cash Election or Stock Election shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and
the stockholder making such purported Cash Election or Stock Election shall for
purposes hereof, be deemed to have made a Non-Election. QuadraMed and Medicus
shall each use its reasonable best efforts to mail the Form of Election to all
persons who become holders of Medicus Common Stock during the period between the
record date for the Medicus Stockholders Meeting (as defined in Section 2.23)
and 10:00 a.m. California time, on the date seven calendar days prior to the
anticipated Effective Time and to make the Form of Election available to all
persons who become holders of Medicus Common Stock subsequent to such day and no
later than the close of business on the business day prior to the Effective
Time. A Form of Election must be received by the Exchange Agent by the close of
business on the last business day prior to the Effective Time (the "Election
Deadline") in order to be effective. All elections may be revoked until the
Election Deadline.
1.7 Surrender of Certificates.
5
<PAGE> 7
(a) Exchange Agent. The First National Bank of Boston
shall act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") in the Merger.
(b) QuadraMed to Provide Common Stock and Cash.
Promptly after the Effective Time, QuadraMed shall make available to the
Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I, through such
reasonable procedures as QuadraMed may adopt, (i) the shares of QuadraMed Common
Stock issuable in exchange for Stock Election Shares and Non-Election Shares and
(ii) cash in an amount sufficient to purchase Cash Election Shares and permit
payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f).
(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective
Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each holder of
record of a certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") which immediately
prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Medicus Common
Stock, whose shares were converted into the right to receive shares of QuadraMed
Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) pursuant to Section 1.6,
(i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be
effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon
receipt of the Certificates by the Exchange Agent, and shall be in such form and
have such other provisions as QuadraMed may reasonably specify) and (ii)
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange
for certificates representing shares of QuadraMed Common Stock (and cash in lieu
of fractional shares) or cash. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation
to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by
QuadraMed, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly
executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such
Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a certificate
representing the number of whole shares of QuadraMed Common Stock and payment in
lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to
Section 1.6 or (ii) cash, as the case may be, and the Certificate so surrendered
shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate
that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Medicus Common Stock
will be deemed for all corporate purposes, other than the payment of dividends,
to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of QuadraMed Common Stock
or cash, as the case may be, into which such shares of Medicus Common Stock
shall have been so converted and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu
of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6.
(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares.
No dividends or other distributions with respect to QuadraMed Common Stock with
a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any
unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of QuadraMed Common Stock
represented thereby until the holder of record of such Certificate shall
surrender such Certificate. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of
any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the
certificates representing whole shares of QuadraMed Common Stock issued in
exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of
6
<PAGE> 8
such surrender, the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a
record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable (but for the provisions
of this Section 1.7(d)) with respect to such shares of QuadraMed Common Stock.
(c) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for
shares of QuadraMed Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in
which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be
a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be
properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such exchange will have paid to QuadraMed or any agent designated by
it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a
certificate for shares of QuadraMed Common Stock in any name other than that of
the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the
satisfaction of QuadraMed or any age. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 1.7, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or
any party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a
public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law.
1.8 No Further Ownership Rights in Medicus Common Stock. All
shares of QuadraMed Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of
shares of Medicus Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including
any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to have been issued
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Medicus Common
Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of
the Surviving Corporation of shares of Medicus Common Stock which were
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective
Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason,
they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any
Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall
issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of
QuadraMed Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) as may be
required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that QuadraMed may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such
sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made
against QuadraMed, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect
to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time
after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with
full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges,
powers and franchises of Medicus and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of
Medicus and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective
corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary
action, so long as
7
<PAGE> 9
such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
1.11 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Medicus QuadraMed Common Stock that
are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by
stockholders who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such
shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the "Dissenting
Shares") shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the
Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of
the appraised value of such shares of Medicus Common Stock held by them in
accordance with the provisions of Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares
held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall
have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares of Medicus
Common Stock under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been
converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for
the right to receive, without any interest thereon, shares of QuadraMed Common
Stock based on the Exchange Ratio determined in accordance with Section 1.1
hereof, as if such shares were covered by Non-Elections, upon surrender, in the
manner provided in this Article I, of the certificate or certificates that
formerly evidenced such shares of Medicus Common Stock.
ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MEDICUS
In this Agreement, any reference to any event, change, condition
or effect being "material" with respect to any entity or group of entities means
any material event, change, condition or effect related to the condition
(financial or otherwise), properties, assets (including intangible assets),
liabilities, business, operations or results of operations of such entity or
group of entities. In this Agreement, any reference to a "Material Adverse
Effect" with respect to any entity or group of entities means any event, change
or effect that is materially adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise),
properties, assets, liabilities, business, operations or results of operations
of such entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
Except as disclosed in a document of even date herewith and
delivered by Medicus to QuadraMed prior to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and referring to the representations and warranties in this Agreement
(the "Medicus Disclosure Schedule"), Medicus represents and warrants to
QuadraMed and Merger Sub as follows:
2.1 Organization, Standing and Power Each of Medicus and its
subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each of Medicus and
its subsidiaries has the corporate power to own its properties and to carry on
its business as now being conducted and as proposed to be conducted and is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
8
<PAGE> 10
which the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would have a Material
Adverse Effect on Medicus. Medicus has delivered a true and correct copy of the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate
of Incorporation"), and Bylaws, as amended, or other charter documents, as
applicable, of Medicus and each of its subsidiaries, each as amended to date, to
QuadraMed. Neither Medicus nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any of
the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or equivalent
organizational documents. Medicus is the owner of all outstanding shares of
capital stock of each of its subsidiaries and all such shares are duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of each such subsidiary are owned by Medicus free and
clear of all liens, charges, claims or encumbrances or rights of others. There
are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, puts, calls, rights,
exchangeable or convertible securities or other commitments or agreements of any
character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock or other securities
of any such subsidiary, or otherwise obligating Medicus or any such subsidiary
to issue, transfer, sell, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any such
securities. Except as disclosed in the Medicus SEC Documents (as defined in
Section 2.4), Medicus does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar
interest in, or any interest convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for, any
equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or
other business association or entity.
2.2 Capital Structure. The authorized capital stock of Medicus
consists of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, 1,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, and 500 shares of Voting Preferred Stock,
$1,000 par value, of which there were issued and outstanding as of the close of

approval of the Merger by Medicus' stockholders as contemplated by Section
6.1(a). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Medicus and
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Medicus enforceable against
Medicus in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Medicus does not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or
default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise
to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or
loss of any benefit under (i) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation
or Bylaws of Medicus or any of its subsidiaries, as amended, or (ii) any
material mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument,
permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law,
ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Medicus or any of its subsidiaries
or any of their properties or assets, except where such conflict, violation,
default, termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect to the foregoing
provisions of (ii) would not have had and would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court,
administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or
instrumentality ("Governmental Entity") is required by or with respect to
Medicus or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, except for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger as provided
in Section 1.2, (ii) the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

to the Medicus Stockholders Meeting (as defined in Section 2.23), (iii) such
consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and
filings as may be required under applicable state securities laws and the
securities laws of any foreign country; and (iv) such other consents,
authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or
made, would not
10
<PAGE> 12
have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus and would not prevent, or materially
alter or delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.4 SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Medicus has furnished
to QuadraMed a true and complete copy of each statement, report, registration
statement (with the prospectus in the form filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")), definitive proxy
statement and other filing filed with the SEC by Medicus since March 1, 1996,
and, prior to the Effective Time, Medicus will have furnished QuadraMed with
true and complete copies of any additional documents filed with the SEC by
Medicus prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "Medicus SEC Documents").
In addition, Medicus has made available to QuadraMed all exhibits to the Medicus
SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof, and will promptly make available
to QuadraMed all exhibits to any additional Medicus SEC Documents filed prior to
the Effective Time. All documents required to be filed as exhibits to the
Medicus SEC Documents have been so filed, and all material contracts so filed as
exhibits are in full force and effect, except those which have expired in
accordance with their terms, and neither Medicus nor any of its subsidiaries is
in default thereunder. As of their respective filing dates, the Medicus SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the
Securities Act, and none of the Medicus SEC Documents contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent
corrected by a subsequently filed Medicus SEC Document. The financial statements
of Medicus, including the notes thereto, included in the Medicus SEC Documents
(the "Medicus Financial Statements") were complete and correct in all material
respects as of their respective dates, complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules
and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as of their respective dates,
and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent throughout the periods indicated and
consistent with each other (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or,
in the case of unaudited statements included in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC). The Medicus Financial Statements fairly
present the consolidated financial condition and operating results of Medicus
and its subsidiaries at the dates and during the periods indicated therein
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, recurring year-end
adjustments). There has been no change in Medicus accounting policies except as
described in the notes to the Medicus Financial Statements.

"Medicus Balance Sheet Date"), Medicus has conducted its business in the
ordinary course consistent with past practice and, except as disclosed in the

condition (whether or not covered by insurance) that has resulted in, or might
reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect to Medicus; (ii)
any acquisition, sale or transfer of any material asset of Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries other than
11
<PAGE> 13

or amortization policies or rates) by Medicus or any revaluation by Medicus of
any of its or any of its subsidiaries' assets; (iv) any declaration, setting

of Medicus, or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other acquisition
by Medicus of any of its shares of capital stock; (v) any material contract
entered into by Medicus or any of its subsidiaries, other than in the ordinary
course of business and as provided to QuadraMed, or any material amendment or
termination of, or default under, any material contract to which Medicus or any
of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound; or (vi) any negotiation
or agreement by Medicus or any of its subsidiaries to do any of the things
described in the preceding clauses (i) through (v) (other than negotiations with
QuadraMed and its representatives regarding the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement).
2.6 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Medicus has no material
obligations or liabilities of any nature (matured or unmatured, fixed or
contingent) other than (i) those set forth or adequately provided for in the
Balance Sheet included in Medicus' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended August 31, 1997 (the "Medicus Balance Sheet"), (ii) those incurred in the
ordinary course of business and not required to be set forth in the Medicus
Balance Sheet under generally accepted accounting principles, (iii) those
incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Medicus Balance Sheet Date

court or tribunal, foreign or domestic, or, to the knowledge of Medicus or any
of its subsidiaries, threatened against Medicus or any of its subsidiaries or
any of their respective properties or any of their respective officers or
directors (in their capacities as such) that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus. There
is no judgment, decree or order against Medicus or any of its subsidiaries, or,
to the knowledge of Medicus and its subsidiaries, any of their respective
directors or officers (in their capacities as such), that could prevent, enjoin,
alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, or that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Medicus.
2.8 Restrictions on Business Activities. There is no material
agreement, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon Medicus or any of
its subsidiaries which has or reasonably could be expected to have the effect of
prohibiting or materially impairing any current or future business practice of
Medicus or any of its subsidiaries, any acquisition of property by Medicus or
any of its subsidiaries or the conduct of business by Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted by Medicus or
any of its subsidiaries.

any interest in any of its properties or (ii) that is required for the operation
of Medicus' or any of its subsidiaries' business or the holding of any such
interest ((i) and (ii) herein collectively called "Medicus Authorizations"), and
all of such Medicus Authorizations are in full force and effect, except where
the failure to obtain or have any of such Medicus Authorizations could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.
2.10 Title to Property. Medicus and its subsidiaries have good
and valid title to all of their respective properties, interests in properties
and assets, real and personal, reflected in the Medicus Balance Sheet or
acquired after the Medicus Balance Sheet Date (except properties, interests in
properties and assets sold or otherwise disposed of since the Medicus Balance
Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business), or in the case of leased
properties and assets, valid leasehold interests therein, free and clear of all
mortgages, liens, pledges, charges or encumbrances of any kind or character,
except (i) the lien of current taxes not yet due and payable, (ii) such
imperfections of title, liens and easements as do not and will not materially
detract from or interfere with the use of the properties subject thereto or
affected thereby, or otherwise materially impair business operations involving
such properties and (iii) liens securing debt which is reflected on the Medicus
Balance Sheet. The plants, property and equipment of Medicus and its
subsidiaries that are used in the operations of their businesses are in good
operating condition and repair. All properties used in the operations of Medicus
and its subsidiaries are reflected in the Medicus Balance Sheet to the extent
generally accepted accounting principles require the same to be reflected.
Schedule 2.10 identifies each parcel of real property owned or leased by Medicus
or any of its subsidiaries.

licensed or otherwise possess legally enforceable rights to use all patents,

intangible proprietary information or material ("Intellectual Property") that
are used in the business of Medicus and its subsidiaries as currently conducted
or as proposed to be conducted by Medicus and its subsidiaries, except to the
extent that the failure to have such rights have not had and would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.
(b) Medicus has provided to QuadraMed (i) all patents
and patent applications and all registered and unregistered trademarks, trade
names and service marks, registered and unregistered copyrights, and maskworks,
which Medicus considers to be material to its business and included in the

copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party, except
where such infringement would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.
(f) Medicus has secured valid written assignments from
all consultants and employees who contributed to the creation or development of
Intellectual Property of the rights to such contributions that Medicus does not
already own by operation of law.

2.14 Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Schedule 2.14 lists, with respect to Medicus, any
subsidiary of Medicus and any trade or business (whether or not incorporated)
which is treated as a single employer with Medicus (an "ERISA Affiliate") within
the meaning of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code, (i) all material
employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), (ii) each loan to a
non-officer employee in excess of $50,000, loans to officers and directors and
any stock option, stock purchase, phantom stock, stock appreciation right,
supplemental retirement, severance, sabbatical, medical, dental, vision care,
disability, employee relocation, cafeteria benefit (Code section 125) or
dependent care (Code Section 129), life insurance or accident insurance plans,
programs or arrangements, (iii) all bonus, pension, profit sharing, savings,
deferred compensation or incentive plans, programs or arrangements, (iv) other
fringe or employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements that apply to senior
management of Medicus and that do not generally apply to all employees, and (v)

agreements, written or otherwise, as to which unsatisfied obligations of Medicus
of greater than $50,000 remain for the benefit of, or relating to, any present
or former employee, consultant or director of Medicus (together, the "Medicus
Employee Plans").
(b) Medicus has furnished to QuadraMed a copy of each
of the Medicus Employee Plans and related plan documents (including trust
documents, insurance policies or contracts, employee booklets, summary plan
descriptions and other authorizing documents, and, to the extent still in its
possession, any material employee communications relating thereto) and has, with
respect to each Medicus Employee Plan which is subject to ERISA reporting
requirements, provided copies of the Form 5500 reports filed for the last three
plan years. Any Medicus Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code has either obtained from the Internal Revenue Service a
favorable determination letter as to its qualified status under the Code,
including all amendments to the Code effected by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and
subsequent legislation, or has applied to the Internal Revenue Service for such
a determination letter prior to the expiration of the requisite period under
applicable Treasury Regulations or Internal Revenue Service pronouncements in
which to apply for such determination letter and to make any amendments
necessary to obtain a favorable determination. Medicus has also furnished
QuadraMed with the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination letter
issued with respect to each such Medicus Employee Plan, and nothing has occurred
since the issuance of each such letter which could reasonably be expected to
cause the
17
<PAGE> 19
loss of the tax-qualified status of any Medicus Employee Plan subject to Code
Section 401(a).
(c) (i) Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.14, none of
the Medicus Employee Plans promises or provides retiree medical or other retiree
welfare benefits to any person; (ii) there has been no "prohibited transaction,"
as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code,
with respect to any Medicus Employee Plan, which could reasonably be expected to
have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) each Medicus Employee
Plan has been administered substantially in accordance with its terms and in
compliance with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, rules and
regulations (including ERISA and the Code), except as would not have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and Medicus and each subsidiary or ERISA
Affiliate have performed all obligations required to be performed by them under,
are not in any respect in default under or violation of, and have no knowledge
of any default or violation by any other party to, any of the Medicus Employee
Plans, which default or violation could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Medicus; (iv) neither Medicus nor any subsidiary or
ERISA Affiliate is subject to any liability or penalty under Sections 4976
through 4980 of the Code or Title I of ERISA with respect to any of the Medicus
Employee Plans, other than obligations for the payment of benefits in the normal
operation of the Plan, and obligations which would not in the aggregate have a
Material Adverse Effect on Medicus; (v) all material contributions required to
be made by Medicus or any subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate to any Medicus Employee
Plan have been made on or before their due dates and any accruals required by
general accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for contributions to each
Medicus Employee Plan for the current plan years are reflected on the financial
statements of Medicus; (vi) with respect to each Medicus Employee Plan, no
"reportable event" within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA (excluding any
such event for which the thirty (30) day notice requirement has been waived
under the regulations to Section 4043 of ERISA) nor any event described in
Section 4062, 4063 or 4041 or ERISA has occurred; and (vii) neither Medicus nor
any subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate has incurred or expects to incur any liability
under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. With respect to each Medicus
Employee Plan subject to ERISA as either an employee pension plan within the
meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA or an employee welfare benefit plan within the
meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, Medicus has prepared in good faith and timely
filed all requisite governmental reports (which were true and correct as of the
date filed) and has properly and timely filed and distributed or posted all
notices and reports to employees required to be filed, distributed or posted
with respect to each such Medicus Employee Plan, except for failures which would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus. No suit, administrative
proceeding, action or other litigation has been brought, or to the best
knowledge of Medicus is threatened, against or with respect to any such Medicus
Employee Plan, including any audit or inquiry by the IRS or United States
Department of Labor. Neither Medicus nor any Medicus subsidiary or other ERISA
Affiliate is a party to, or has made any contribution to or otherwise incurred
any obligation under, any "multiemployer plan" as defined in Section 3(37) of
ERISA.
(d) With respect to each Medicus Employee Plan,
Medicus and each of
18
<PAGE> 20
its United States subsidiaries have complied with (i) the applicable health care
continuation and notice provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") and the proposed regulations thereunder and
(ii) the applicable requirements of the Family Leave Act of 1993 and the
regulations thereunder, except to the extent that such failure to comply would
not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement will not (i) entitle any current or former employee or other
service provider of Medicus, any Medicus subsidiary or any other ERISA Affiliate
to severance benefits or any other payment, except as vesting, or increase the
amount of compensation due any such employee or service provider.
(f) Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.14, there has
been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement (whether or not
written) by Medicus, any Medicus subsidiary or other ERISA Affiliate relating
to, or change in participation or coverage under, any Medicus Employee Plan
which would materially increase the expense of maintaining such Plan above the
level of expense incurred with respect to that Plan for the most recent fiscal
year included in Medicus' financial statements.
2.15 Certain Agreements Affected by the Merger. Neither the
execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby will (i) result in any payment (including, without
limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or
otherwise) becoming due to any director or employee of Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries, (ii) materially increase any benefits otherwise payable by Medicus
or (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any
such benefits.
2.16 Employee Matters. Medicus and each of its subsidiaries are
in compliance in all respects with all currently applicable laws and regulations
respecting employment, discrimination in employment, terms and conditions of
employment, wages, hours and occupational safety and health and employment
practices, and is not engaged in any unfair labor practice, except where the
failure to be in compliance or the engagement in such unfair labor practices

accounts receivable other than in the ordinary course of business; or
(s) Other. Take or agree in writing or otherwise to
take, any of the actions described in Sections 4.2(a) through (r) above, or any

will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action to solicit, initiate or

nonpublic information relating to Medicus or any of it subsidiaries to, or
afford access to the properties, books or records of Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries to, any person that has advised Medicus that it may be considering
making, or that has made, a Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall prohibit Medicus' Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to
Medicus' stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer pursuant to
Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, if an unsolicited Takeover Proposal, or an
unsolicited written expression of interest that can reasonably be expected to
lead to a Takeover Proposal, shall be received by the Board of Directors of
Medicus, then, to the extent the Board of Directors of Medicus believes in good
faith (after consultation with its financial advisor) that such Takeover
Proposal would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to
Medicus' stockholders from a financial point of view than the transaction
contemplated by the Agreement (any such more favorable Takeover Proposal being
referred to in this Agreement as a "Superior Proposal") and the Board of
Directors of Medicus determines in good faith after consultation with outside
legal counsel that it is necessary for the Board of Directors of Medicus to
comply with its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable law, Medicus
and its officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors,
attorneys, accountants and other representatives retained by it may furnish in
connection therewith information and take such other actions as are consistent
with the fiduciary obligations of Medicus' Board of Directors, and such actions
shall not be considered a breach of this Section 4.3 or any other provisions of
this Agreement, provided that in each such event Medicus notifies QuadraMed of
such determination by the Medicus Board of Directors and provides QuadraMed with
a true and complete copy of the Superior Proposal received from such third
party, if the Superior Proposal is in writing, or a complete written summary
thereof, if it is not in writing, and provides QuadraMed with all documents
containing or referring to non-public information of Medicus that are supplied
to such third party; provided further, that (A) the Board of Directors of
Medicus has determined, with the advice of Medicus' investment bankers, that
31
<PAGE> 33
such third party is capable of making a Superior Proposal upon satisfactory
completion of such third party's review of the information supplied by Medicus,
(B) the third party has stated that it intends to make a Superior Proposal, (C)
Medicus may not provide any non-public information to any such third party if it
has not prior to the date thereof provided such information to QuadraMed or
QuadraMed's representatives, (D) Medicus notifies QuadraMed in advance of any
disclosure of non-public information to any such third party, with a description
of the information proposed to be disclosed, and (E) Medicus provides such
non-public information pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement at least as
restrictive as the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 5.4).
Medicus will promptly notify QuadraMed after receipt of any Takeover Proposal or
any notice that any person is considering making a Takeover Proposal or any
request for non-public information relating to Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries or for access to the properties, books or records of Medicus or any
of its subsidiaries by any person that has advised Medicus that it may be
considering making, or that has made, a Takeover Proposal and will keep
QuadraMed fully informed of the status and details of any such Takeover Proposal
notice, request or any correspondence or communications related thereto and
shall provide QuadraMed with a true and complete copy of such Takeover Proposal
notice or request or correspondence or communications related thereto, if it is
in writing, or a complete written summary thereof, if it is not in writing. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Takeover Proposal" means any offer or proposal for,
or any indication of interest in, a merger or other business combination
involving Medicus or any of its subsidiaries or the acquisition of any
significant equity interest in, or a significant portion of the assets of,
Medicus or any of its subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by

any and all such claims. The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one
law firm (in addition to local
37

counsel) to represent them with respect to any single action unless there is,
under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any
significant issue between the positions of any tow or more Indemnified Parties.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of
the 9th day of November, 1997, by and between QuadraMed Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Purchaser"), and the seller indicated on the signature page
hereto (the "Seller"), which Seller is a stockholder of Medicus Systems
Corporation ("Medicus").
WHEREAS, the Purchaser and Medicus expect to enter into a Merger
Agreement simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the "Merger
Agreement") pursuant to which Medicus would be acquired by Purchaser through a
merger (the "Merger") of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser into
Medicus, and Medicus would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser;
and
WHEREAS, Purchaser has offered to Seller and certain other
stockholders of Medicus to purchase their shares of Medicus common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Medicus Common Stock"), prior to the Merger on the
terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to sell shares of Medicus Common Stock
to Purchaser on the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Purchase and Sale of Medicus Common Stock.
1.1 Sale of Medicus Common Stock.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Closing and the Seller agrees
to sell to the Purchaser at the Closing an amount of shares (as indicated on the
signature page hereto) of Medicus Common Stock (the "Shares") for the aggregate
Purchase Price set forth in Section 1.1(b) below.
(b) The purchase price to be paid for each Share to be
sold hereunder (the "Purchase Price") shall be $7.50, in cash, without interest
(the "Cash Consideration"), together with a warrant (the "Warrant"), in the form
attached hereto as Appendix A, entitling Seller to acquire .3125 shares of
QuadraMed Common Stock for each share of Medicus Common Stock sold hereunder, on
the terms and conditions set forth therein.
(c) At the Closing (as defined below), the Seller shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates
representing the Shares (duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an
executed stock power, medallion guaranteed) which the Purchaser is purchasing
against delivery to the Seller of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares.
1.2 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares under Article
1.1 (the "Closing") shall take place at 12:00 p.m. Chicago time on November 10,
1997 at the offices of Bell, Boyd & Lloyd, Three First National Plaza, 70 West
Madison Street, Suite 3300, Chicago, Illinois 60602-4207, or as soon as possible
as the Seller, using Seller's best efforts, is able to deliver or cause to be
delivered to Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the Shares as
required by
1
<PAGE> 2
Section 1.1(c) hereof.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser
represents and warrants to the Seller as follows:
2.1 Organization, Standing and Power. Each of the Purchaser and
its subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each of Purchaser
and its subsidiaries has the corporate power to own its properties and to carry
on its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified to do business and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified
and in good standing would have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser. Neither
Purchaser nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any of the provisions
of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or equivalent organizational
documents. Purchaser is the owner of all outstanding shares of capital stock of
each of its subsidiaries and all such shares are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of each such subsidiary are owned by Purchaser free and clear of all
liens, charges, claims or encumbrances or rights of others. In this Agreement,
any reference to any event, change, condition or effect being "material" with
respect to any entity or group of entities means any material event, change,
condition or effect related to the condition (financial or otherwise),
properties, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, business,
operations or results of operations of such entity or group of entities. In this
Agreement, any reference to a "Material Adverse Effect" with respect to any
entity or group of entities means any event, change or effect that is materially
adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets,
liabilities, business, operations or results of operations of such entity and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
2.2 Capital Structure. Except as described in this Section 2.2,
the authorized and outstanding capital stock of Purchaser is as set forth in the
section entitled "Description of Capital Stock" in the Purchaser's Prospectus
dated October 21, 1997 delivered to the Seller as a part of the Purchaser SEC
Documents (as defined in Section 2.4 hereof). There are no other outstanding
shares of capital stock or voting securities of Purchaser other than shares of
Purchaser Common Stock issued after October 21, 1997 upon the exercise of
options or warrants that were outstanding as of October 21, 1997. All
outstanding shares of Purchaser have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and are nonassessable and free of any liens or encumbrances other than any
liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the holders thereof.
2.3 Authority. Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser. This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and constitutes the valid and
binding obligations of Purchaser. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not,
conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with or without
notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of a benefit under (i)
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Purchaser or any
of its subsidiaries, as amended, or (ii) any material contract or other
agreement or instrument, or any judgment, order, decree, statute, law,
ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries
2
<PAGE> 3
or their properties or assets, except where such conflict, violation, default,
termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect to the foregoing
provisions would not result in a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser. No
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or
filing with, any Governmental Entity, is required by or with respect to
Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser or the consummation by Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except for (i) any filings as may be required
under applicable federal and state securities laws and the securities laws of
any foreign country, (ii) the filing with the Nasdaq National Market of a
Notification Form for Listing of Additional Shares with respect to the shares of
Common Stock of the Purchaser issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, and (iii)
such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which,
if not obtained or made, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser
and would not prevent or materially alter or delay any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
2.4 SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Purchaser has delivered
to Seller a copy of the following documents of the Purchaser: (1) the
Purchaser's Prospectus dated October 21, 1997, (2) a draft of Purchaser's Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, (3) the Purchaser's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, (4) the Purchaser's 1996
Annual Report to Stockholders and (5) the Purchaser's Proxy Statement for the
1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (collectively, the "Purchaser SEC
Documents"). As of their respective filing dates, the Purchaser SEC Documents,
with the exception of the draft Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1997, which has yet to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and none of the Purchaser SEC Documents contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of Purchaser, including the notes thereto, included in the Purchaser
SEC Documents (the "Purchaser Financial Statements") were complete and correct
in all material respects as of their respective dates, complied as to form in
all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the
published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as of their
respective dates, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent throughout the periods
indicated and consistent with each other (except as may be indicated in the
notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements included in Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC). The Purchaser
Financial Statements fairly present the consolidated financial condition and
operating results of Purchaser and its subsidiaries at the dates and during the
periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to
normal, recurring year-end adjustments). There has been no material change in
Purchaser's accounting policies except as described in the notes to the
Purchaser Financial Statements.
2.5 Absence of Certain Changes. Since June 30, 1997 (the
"Purchaser Balance Sheet Date"), Purchaser has conducted its business in the
ordinary course consistent with past practice and there has not occurred: (i)
any change, event or condition (whether or not covered by insurance) that has
resulted in a Material Adverse Effect to Purchaser; (ii) any acquisition, sale
or transfer of any material asset of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries other
than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; (iii)
any material change in accounting
3
<PAGE> 4
methods or practices (including any change in depreciation or amortization
policies or rates) by Purchaser or any revaluation by Purchaser of any of its
assets; (iv) any declaration, setting aside, or payment of a dividend or other
distribution with respect to the shares of Purchaser, or any direct or indirect
redemption, purchase or other acquisition by Purchaser of any of its shares of
capital stock; or (v) any negotiation or agreement by Purchaser or any of its
subsidiaries to do any of the things described in the preceding clauses (i)
through (iv) (other than negotiations regarding the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement).
2.6 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Purchaser has no material
obligations or liabilities of any nature (matured or unmatured, fixed or
contingent) other than (i) those set forth or adequately provided for in the
Balance Sheet included in Purchaser's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended June 30, 1997 included in the Purchaser SEC Documents (the
"Purchaser Balance Sheet"), (ii) those incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required to be set forth in the Purchaser Balance Sheet under
generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) those incurred in the
ordinary course of business since the Purchaser Balance Sheet Date and
consistent with past practice.
2.7 Litigation. There is no private or governmental action, suit,
proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending before any agency, court
or tribunal, foreign or domestic, or, to the knowledge of Purchaser or any of
its subsidiaries, threatened against Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or any
of their respective properties or any of their respective officers or directors
(in their capacities as such) that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser. There is
no judgment, decree or order against Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or, to
the knowledge of Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries, any of their respective
directors or officers (in their capacities as such) that could prevent, enjoin,
alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, or that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Purchaser.
2.8 Compliance With Laws. Each of Purchaser and its subsidiaries
has complied with, is not in violation of, and has not received any notices of
violation with respect to, any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law or
regulation with respect to the conduct of its business, or the ownership or
operation of its business, except for such violations or failures to comply as
could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser.
2.9 Complete Copies of Materials. Purchaser has delivered or made
available true and complete copies of each document which has been requested by
Seller in connection with Seller's legal and financial review of Purchaser and
its subsidiaries.
2.10 Execution of Merger Agreement. Purchaser and Medicus have
executed the Merger Agreement simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller
hereby represents and warrants that:
3.1 Valid Title. Seller now has and at the Closing Date will have
good and marketable title to the Shares to be sold by the Seller, free and clear
of any liens, encumbrances, equities and claims, and full right, power and
authority to effect the sale and delivery of such
4
<PAGE> 5
Shares; and upon the delivery of, against payment for, the Shares pursuant to
this Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire good and marketable title thereto,
free and clear of any liens, encumbrances equities and claims.
3.2 Authorization. Seller has full right, power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this
Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by
Seller of the transactions herein contemplated and the fulfillment by Seller of
the terms hereof will not require any consent, approval, authorization, or other
order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
body and will not result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute a default under, organizational documents of such Seller, if not an
individual, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or
instrument to which such Seller is a party, or of any order, rule or regulation
applicable to Seller of any court or of any regulatory body or administrative
agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction.
3.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made
with Seller in reliance upon Seller's representation to the Purchaser, which by
Seller's execution of this Agreement Seller hereby confirms, that the Warrant to
be acquired by Seller will be acquired for investment for Seller's own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any part thereof, and that Seller has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this
Agreement, Seller further represents that Seller does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to the
Warrant.
3.4 Reliance upon Seller Representations. Seller understands that
the Warrant is not registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the
sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is
exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(2)
thereof, and that the Purchaser's reliance on such exemption is predicated on
the Seller's representations set forth herein.
3.5 Receipt of Information. Seller believes it has received all
the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
purchase the Warrant. Seller further represents that it has had an opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers from the Purchaser regarding the terms and

QUADRAMED CORPORATION
INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, ____________________
("Investor") is entitled to purchase, on the terms hereof, __________________
(__________) shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock") of QuadraMed Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), subject to adjustment as provided herein
and at a purchase price as set forth herein. This Warrant is issued pursuant to
the terms of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 9, 1997
between the Company and Investor (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), which was
entered into in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated
November 9, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement") between the Company and Medicus
Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Medicus"), pursuant to which the
Company will acquire Medicus by merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company with and into Medicus (the "Merger").
1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT
The terms and conditions upon which this Warrant may be exercised, and
the Common Stock covered hereby (the "Warrant Stock") may be purchased, are as
follows:
1.1 Exercise. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, this Warrant
may be exercised with respect to all or a portion of the shares of the Warrant
Stock at the effective time of the Merger under the laws of the State of
Delaware (the "Effective Time"). To the extent that this Warrant is not
exercised at the Effective Time or the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant is limited as set forth herein, the portion of this Warrant
which is unexercised or subject to the limitations as set forth herein shall
terminate and shall be void and of no further force or effect with respect to
such Warrant Stock.
1.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the shares of Warrant Stock
to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be $24.00 per share, subject to
adjustment as set forth herein.
<PAGE> 12
1.3 Method of Exercise. Not later than seven (7) days prior to the
Effective Time, the Company shall provide written notice to the holder of this
Warrant of the proposed Effective Time. The exercise of the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant shall be effected by (a) the surrender of the Warrant,
together with a duly executed copy of the form of subscription attached hereto,
to the Company or its designated agent no later than the Effective Time at its
principal offices or at the offices of such designated agent and (b) the
delivery of the purchase price by check or wire transfer for the number of
shares for which the purchase rights hereunder are being exercised.
1.4 Issuance of Shares. In the event the purchase rights evidenced by
this Warrant are exercised in whole or in part, the issuance of the Warrant
Stock shall be credited immediately on the official stock record books of the
Company and, if requested, a certificate or certificates for the purchased
shares shall be issued to the Investor as soon as practicable; provided,
however, the Warrant Stock shall only be so issued if the Form S-3 Registration
Statement (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof) has been declared effective by the
Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
1.5 Limitation on Shares Issuable. In no event shall the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock which the Company is obligated to issue (1)
upon conversion of warrants, including this Warrant, issued to stockholders of
Medicus pursuant to stock purchase agreements dated as of November 9, 1997
("Warrants") and (2) in exchange for outstanding shares of Medicus Common Stock
pursuant to the Merger Agreement exceed 1,800,000 shares. In the event that the
total number of shares of Common Stock which holders of Warrants, including
Investor, and stockholders of Medicus have elected to receive as described in
clauses (1) and (2) in the immediately preceding sentence exceeds 1,800,000, the
Company shall only be required to issue 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock and
such holders, including Investor, shall be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock equal to each holder's pro rata portion of the total amount of shares
issued by the Company as described in clauses (1) and (2), based on the total
number of shares each holder and each stockholder elected to receive.
2. CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS
2.1 Adjustment Due to Warrant Value Limitation. If at the Effective Time
the QuadraMed Stock Value (as defined below) exceeds $27.60, then the number of
shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
downward such that the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be X, where X is equal to the Warrant Value (as defined
below) divided by the difference of (i) the QuadraMed Stock Value minus (ii)
$24.00. For purposes of this Warrant, the term "QuadraMed Stock Value" shall
mean that price per share equal to the average of the closing prices of Common
Stock during the fifteen (15) days prior to the second day prior to the date of
the Medicus Stockholders Meeting (as such term is defined in the Merger
Agreement). For purposes of this Warrant, the term "Warrant Value" shall mean
the product of $3.60 multiplied by the initial number of shares of Warrant Stock
issuable hereunder.
2
<PAGE> 13
2.2 Mergers, Consolidations or Sale of Assets. If at any time there
shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a combination,
reclassification, exchange or subdivision of Warrant Stock otherwise provided
for herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which
the Common Stock of the Company is converted into any other security or
property, or the sale of the Company's properties and assets as, or
substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be made so
that the Investor shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this
Warrant, during the period specified in this Warrant and upon payment of the
purchase price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities
or property of the successor or surviving corporation resulting from such
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the Warrant
Stock deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled under
the provisions of the agreement in such reorganization, merger, consolidation or
sale if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before that reorganization,
merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in
the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and
interests of the Investor after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or
sale to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustment of the
purchase price then in effect and the number of shares of Warrant Stock) shall
be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any
shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this
Warrant.
3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
3.1 Registration of Warrant Stock. As soon as practicable following the
date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (the "Form S-3 Registration Statement") registering the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and shall take
all necessary actions to have the Form S-3 Registration Statement declared
effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.
3.2 No Changes in Capital Structure. The Company covenants with Investor
that it shall not (i) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) issue by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock or capital reorganization other
securities of the Company.
4. FRACTIONAL SHARES
No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with any exercise of
this Warrant. In lieu of the issuance of such fractional share, the Company
shall make a cash payment equal to the then fair market value of such fractional
share as reasonably determined by the Company's Board of Directors.

<PAGE> 14
5. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK; VALID ISSUANCE
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of its shares of Common Stock
as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant;
and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of the entire Warrant, in
addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this
Warrant, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such corporate
action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
The Company represents and warrants to the Investor that any shares of Common
Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant will be duly and validly issued and
fully paid and nonassessable.

Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Investor shall not be
entitled, by virtue of holding this Warrant, to any rights of a stockholder of
the Company, including (without limitation) the right to vote, receive dividends
or other distributions, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of stockholder
meetings, and such holder shall not be entitled to any notice or other
communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company, except as
required by law.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the holder
hereof to purchase the Warrant Stock, and no mere enumeration herein of the
rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of
such holder for the purchase price or as a stockholder of the Company, whether
such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
4
<PAGE> 15
8. TRANSFER RESTRICTION
This Warrant shall not be transferable without the prior written consent
of the Company.

other governmental charges (other than any thereof on, based on or measured by,
the net income of the holder thereof) that may be imposed in respect of, the
issue or delivery of the Warrant Stock. The Company shall not be required,
however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer
involved in the issue of any certificate for shares of the Warrant Stock in any
name other than that of the Investor, and in such case, the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any stock certificate until such tax or other
charge has been paid or it has been established to the Company's satisfaction
that no such tax or other charge is due.
10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon the
Company and the Investor and their permitted successors and assigns.
11. LOSS, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT

James D. Durham
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
QuadraMed Corporation
157 West Blithedale
Mill Valley, California 94941
Dear Mr. Durham:
We are pleased to inform you that the Board of Directors (the "Board")
of QuadraMed Corporation (the "Company") has authorized an employment package
for you which will provide certain assurances concerning the terms and
conditions of your continued employment with the Company and will allow you to
participate in a program of severance benefit payments should your employment
terminate. The purpose of this letter agreement (the "Agreement") is to
document the terms of your employment package by providing you with a formal
employment contract.
The Company considers it essential to the continuing operation of the
Company and in the best interests of its stockholders to assure the continuous
dedication of key management personnel. It is recognized in the context of
public ownership that a termination of an employee's employment without cause
may be sought and that such circumstances could prove distracting to key
executives and detrimental to the ongoing management and administration of the
Company. Such distraction is not in the best interest of the stockholders of
the Company. Accordingly, the Board has determined to discourage the
inevitable distraction to you in the face of potentially disturbing
circumstances inherent in any uncertainty regarding your employment status.
This Agreement is intended to secure and encourage your ongoing retention by
providing separation benefits in the event that your employment is altered as
hereinafter described. In order to induce you to remain in the employ of the
Company, and in consideration of your agreement set forth in Sections 11, 12,
13 and 14 of Part Two hereof, the Company agrees to pay the severance payments
and benefits set forth in this Agreement, under the circumstances described
herein.
This Agreement amends and restates the written employment agreement
between you and the Company dated January 1, 1997.
Part One of this Agreement sets forth certain definitional provisions
to be in effect for purposes of determining your benefit entitlements. Part
Two specifies the terms and conditions which will apply to your continued
employment with the Company, including the severance payments and benefits to
which you will become entitled in the event your employment should be
terminated. Part Two concludes this Agreement with a series of general terms
and conditions applicable to your employment benefits.

that under applicable law or the terms of the relevant Employee Benefit Plans
such participation, benefits and/or coverage cannot be provided to Employee

Cause), each of your Options under the Stock Option Plan will (to the extent

Option will become immediately exercisable for the total number of shares
purchasable thereunder. Each such accelerated Option, together with all of
your other vested Options, will remain exercisable for a period of three (3)
years following your Involuntary Termination and may be exercised for any or
all of the accelerated shares in accordance with the exercise provisions of the
Option agreement evidencing the grant.

the sum of (a) the average annual rate of base salary and (b) the average bonus
paid to you by the Company, in each case for service rendered in the two (2)
immediately preceding calendar years. If a bonus was paid for only one of
those calendar years, then the clause (b) amount will be equal to that bonus.
You may elect, in your sole discretion, to have the severance benefit payable
pursuant to this Section 9.B.(i) in monthly installments over a one year period
following the date of your Involuntary Termination.

discretion, the Company may obtain such coverage and benefits for Employee

permitted by applicable law, the benefits provided under this Section 9.B.(ii)
shall be in discharge of any obligations of the Company or any rights of
Employee under the benefit continuation provisions under COBRA or any other
legislation of similar import.
10. OPTION ACCELERATION UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. Upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control, each of your Options under the Stock Option
Plan will (to the extent not then otherwise exercisable) automatically
accelerate so that each such Option will become immediately exercisable for the
total number of shares purchasable thereunder. Each such accelerated Option,

period of three (3) years following your Involuntary Termination and may be
exercised for any or all of the accelerated shares in accordance with the
exercise provisions of the Option agreement evidencing the grant.

PART THREE -- MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
1. MITIGATION. Employee shall not be required to mitigate
damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by
seeking other employment or otherwise. The provisions of this Agreement, and
any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise
payable, or in any way diminish Employee's existing rights which would accrue
solely as a result of the passage of time, under any Company Employee Benefit
Plan, "Payroll practice" (as defined in ERISA), compensation arrangement,
incentive plan, stock option or other stock-related plan.
2. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company, including, without
limitation, any corporation or corporations acquiring directly or indirectly
all or substantially all of the stock, business or assets of the Company
whether by merger, consolidation, division, sale or otherwise (and such
successor shall thereafter be deemed "the Company" for the purposes of this
Agreement). The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Employee, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the
effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement
entitling Employee to the benefits hereunder, as though Employee was subject to
Involuntary Termination. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Employee, his successors, assigns, executors, administrators or
beneficiaries.
3. DEATH. Should you die before receipt of all the separation
payments to which you may become entitled under Part Two, Section 8, then such
payment or payments will be made, on the due date or dates hereunder had you
survived, to the executors or administrators of your estate. Should you die
before you exercise your outstanding vested options, then each such option may
be exercised, within twelve (12) months after your death, by the executors or
administrators of your estate or by person to whom the option is transferred
pursuant to your will or in accordance with the laws of inheritance. In no
event, however, may any such vested option be exercised after the specified
expiration date of the option term.
4. INDEMNIFICATION. The indemnification provisions for officers
and directors under the Company's Bylaws will (to the maximum extent permitted
by law) be extended to you, during the period
-9-
<PAGE> 10
following your Involuntary Termination, with respect to any and all matters,
events or transactions occurring or effected during your Employment Period.
5. MISCELLANEOUS. The provisions of this Agreement will be
construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of California. This
Agreement incorporates the entire Agreement between you and the Company
relating to the terms of your employment and the subject of severance benefits
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such
subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended by written instrument
signed by you and an authorized officer of the Company.
6. ARBITRATION. Any controversy which may arise between you and
the Company with respect to the construction, interpretation or application of
any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any
claim arising from or relating to this Agreement will be submitted to final and
binding arbitration in San Francisco, California in accordance with the rules
of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
7. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement
shall be deemed sufficient, if in writing, and sent by certified mail, return
receipt requested, via overnight courier, or hand delivered to the Company at
80 East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Suite 2A, Larkspur, California 94939, and
to Employee at his most recent address reflected in the permanent Company
records. Copies of each such notice delivered by either the Company or
Employee shall be provided to each current member of the Board at each such
director's current address as listed in the Company's records.

Section 2870. APPLICATION OF PROVISION PROVIDING THAT EMPLOYEE WILL
ASSIGN OR OFFER TO ASSIGN RIGHTS IN INVENTION TO EMPLOYER.
(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that

employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer=s
equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those
inventions that either:
(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to
practice of the invention to the employer=s business, or actual or demonstrably

November 13, 1997
John V. Cracchiolo
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
QuadraMed Corporation
215 Madrone Avenue
Larkspur, California 94939
Dear Mr. Cracchiolo:
We are pleased to inform you that the Board of Directors (the "Board")
of QuadraMed Corporation (the "Company") has authorized an employment package
for you which will provide certain assurances concerning the terms and
conditions of your continued employment with the Company and will allow you to
participate in a program of severance benefit payments should your employment
terminate. The purpose of this letter agreement (the "Agreement") is to
document the terms of your employment package by providing you with a formal
employment contract.
The Company considers it essential to the continuing operation of the
Company and in the best interests of its stockholders to assure the continuous
dedication of key management personnel. It is recognized in the context of
public ownership that a termination of an employee's employment without cause
may be sought and that such circumstances could prove distracting to key
executives and detrimental to the ongoing management and administration of the
Company. Such distraction is not in the best interest of the stockholders of
the Company. Accordingly, the Board has determined to discourage the
inevitable distraction to you in the face of potentially disturbing
circumstances inherent in any uncertainty regarding your employment status.
This Agreement is intended to secure and encourage your ongoing retention by
providing separation benefits in the event that your employment is altered as
hereinafter described. In order to induce you to remain in the employ of the
Company, and in consideration of your agreement set forth in Sections 11, 12,
13 and 14 of Part Two hereof, the Company agrees to pay the severance payments
and benefits set forth in this Agreement, under the circumstances described
herein.
This Agreement supersedes any written or oral employment agreement
between you and the Company prior to the date hereof.
Part One of this Agreement sets forth certain definitional provisions
to be in effect for purposes of determining your benefit entitlements. Part
Two specifies the terms and conditions which will apply to your continued
employment with the Company, including the severance payments and benefits to
which you will become entitled in the event your employment should be
terminated. Part Two concludes this Agreement with a series of general terms
and conditions applicable to your employment benefits.

the termination of the Employment Period or upon any earlier request by the
Company, and you will not retain any copies, notes or excerpts thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall be entitled to retain his file or
Rolodex containing names, addresses and telephone numbers and personal diaries
and calendars; provided, however, that Employee shall continue to be bound by
the terms of Section 13.A. above to the extent such retained materials
constitute confidential information.
C. Your obligations under this Section 13 will continue
in effect after the termination of your employment with the Company, whatever
the reason or reasons for such termination, and the Company will have the right
to communicate with any of your future or prospective employers concerning your
continuing obligations under this Section 13.
14. OWNERSHIP RIGHTS.
A. All materials, ideas, discoveries and inventions
pertaining to the Company's business or clients, including (without limitation)
all patents and copyrights, patent applications, patent renewals and extensions
and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of customers, will belong solely
to the Company.
B. All materials, ideas, discoveries and inventions
which you may devise, conceive, develop or reduce to practice (whether
individually or jointly with others) during the Employment Period will be the
sole property of the Company and are hereby assigned by you to the Company,
except for any idea, discovery or invention (i) for which no Company equipment,
supplies, facility or trade secret information is used, (ii) which is developed
entirely on your own time and (iii) which neither (a) relates at the time of
conception or reduction to practice, to the Company's business or any actual or
demonstrably-anticipated research or development program of the Company nor (b)
results from any work performed by you for the Company. The foregoing
-7-
<PAGE> 8
exception corresponds to the assignment of inventions precluded by California
Labor Code Section 2870, attached as Exhibit A.
C. You will, at all times whether during or after the
Employment Period, assist the Company, at the Company's sole expense, in
obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing all legal rights and remedies
of the Company, including, without limitation, patents, copyrights and other
proprietary rights of the Company. Such assistance will include (without
limitation) the execution of documents and assistance and cooperation in legal
proceedings.
D. You will continue to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of your existing Proprietary Information Agreement with the Company,
and nothing in this document will be deemed to modify or affect your duties and
obligations under those other agreements.
15. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
A. The Company (or any successor entity resulting from a
Change in Control) may terminate your employment under this Agreement at any
time for any reason, with or without cause, by providing you with at least
seven (7) days prior written notice. However, such notice requirement will not
apply in the event there is a Termination for Cause under subparagraph D below.
B. In the event there is a termination of your
employment by reason of disability or is an Involuntary Termination of your
employment with the Company (other than Termination for Cause) during the
Employment Period, you will become entitled to the benefits specified in Part
Two, Section 9 in addition to any unpaid compensation earned by you under Part
Two, Section 4 for services rendered prior to such termination.
C. Should your employment with the Company terminate by
reason of your death during the Employment Period, no severance benefits will
be payable to you under Part Two, Section 9, and only the limited death
benefits provided under Part Two, Section 8 will be payable.
D. The Company may at any time, upon written notice,
terminate your employment hereunder for any act qualifying as a Termination for
Cause. Such termination will be effective immediately upon such notice.
E. Upon such Termination for Cause, the Company will
only be required to pay you any unpaid compensation earned by you pursuant to
Part Two, Section 4 for services rendered through the date of such termination,
and no termination or severance benefits will be payable to you under Part Two,
Section 9.
PART THREE -- MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
1. MITIGATION. Employee shall not be required to mitigate
damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by
seeking other employment or otherwise. The provisions of this Agreement, and
any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise
payable, or in any way diminish Employee's existing rights which would accrue
-8-
<PAGE> 9
solely as a result of the passage of time, under any Company Employee Benefit
Plan, "Payroll practice" (as defined in ERISA), compensation arrangement,
incentive plan, stock option or other stock-related plan.
2. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company, including, without
limitation, any corporation or corporations acquiring directly or indirectly
all or substantially all of the stock, business or assets of the Company
whether by merger, consolidation, division, sale or otherwise (and such
successor shall thereafter be deemed "the Company" for the purposes of this
Agreement). The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Employee, to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the
effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement
entitling Employee to the benefits hereunder, as though Employee was subject to
Involuntary Termination. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Employee, his successors, assigns, executors, administrators or
beneficiaries.
3. DEATH. Should you die before receipt of all the separation
payments to which you may become entitled under Part Two, Section 8, then such
payment or payments will be made, on the due date or dates hereunder had you
survived, to the executors or administrators of your estate. Should you die
before you exercise your outstanding vested options, then each such option may
be exercised, within twelve (12) months after your death, by the executors or
administrators of your estate or by person to whom the option is transferred
pursuant to your will or in accordance with the laws of inheritance. In no
event, however, may any such vested option be exercised after the specified
expiration date of the option term.
4. INDEMNIFICATION. The indemnification provisions for officers
and directors under the Company's Bylaws will (to the maximum extent permitted
by law) be extended to you, during the period following your Involuntary
Termination, with respect to any and all matters, events or transactions
occurring or effected during your Employment Period.
5. MISCELLANEOUS. The provisions of this Agreement will be
construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of California. This
Agreement incorporates the entire Agreement between you and the Company
relating to the terms of your employment and the subject of severance benefits
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such
subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended by written instrument
signed by you and an authorized officer of the Company.
6. ARBITRATION. Any controversy which may arise between you and
the Company with respect to the construction, interpretation or application of
any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any
claim arising from or relating to this Agreement will be submitted to final and
binding arbitration in San Francisco, California in accordance with the rules
of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
7. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement
shall be deemed sufficient, if in writing, and sent by certified mail, return
receipt requested, via overnight courier, or
-9-

hand delivered to the Company at 80 East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Suite 2A,
Larkspur, California 94939, and to Employee at his most recent address
reflected in the permanent Company records. Copies of each such notice
delivered by either the Company or Employee shall be provided to each current
member of the Board at each such director's current address as listed in the
Company's records.

EXHIBIT A
Section 2870. APPLICATION OF PROVISION PROVIDING THAT EMPLOYEE WILL
ASSIGN OR OFFER TO ASSIGN RIGHTS IN INVENTION TO EMPLOYER.
(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that
an employee will assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an
invention to his or her employer will not apply to an invention that the
employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer=s
equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those
inventions that either:
(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to
practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development of the employer.
(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for
his employer.
(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports
to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being
required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the
public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

EXHIBIT 10.44
AMENDMENT
TO
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Amendment Number One to the Employment Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of December 19, 1996 by and between QuadraMed
Corporation, QuadraMed Acquisition Corporation (collectively, "QuadraMed"or the
"Company") and Frederick Stodolak is made effective as of November 13, 1997.
The Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 29
which reads in its entirety as follows:
29. OPTION ACCELERATION. In the event that Employee is
terminated without cause in connection with a Change in Control (as defined
below), each of Employee=s options issued pursuant the Agreement or QuadraMed=s
1996 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor plan (the "Options") will (to the
extent not then otherwise exercisable) automatically accelerate so that each
such Option will become immediately exercisable for the total number of shares
purchasable thereunder.
Any termination of Employee=s employment within 12 months of a Change
in Control shall be automatically deemed to be "effected in connection with a
Change in Control." Each accelerated Option, together with all of your other
vested options, will remain excercisable for a period of three years following
Employee=s termination without cause in connection with a Change in Control and
may be exercised for any or all of the accelerated shares in accordance with
the exercise provisions of the agreement evidencing the Option grant.
For purposes of this Section 29, "Change in Control" shall mean:
(i) a merger or acquisition in which the Company is not the
surviving entity, except for a transaction the principal purpose of which is to
change the State of the Company's incorporation;
(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company in liquidation or dissolution of
the Company;
(iii) a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
pursuant to a partnership or joint venture agreement or similar arrangement
where the Company's resulting interest is less than fifty percent (50%);
(iv) any reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity but in which fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company's outstanding
voting stock is transferred to holders different from those who held the stock
immediately prior to such merger;
(v) on or after the date hereof, a change in ownership of the
Company through an action or series of transactions, such that any person is or
becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the securities of the
combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities;
(vi) a majority of the members of the Board are replaced during any
twelve-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed
by a majority of the members of the Board prior to
<PAGE> 2
the date of such appointment of election; or
(vii) the occurrence of any other event constituting a "change in
control" under Code Section 280G or the Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment Number One to
Employment Agreement as of the date first written above.
