Exhibit 2.1

STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Stock Repurchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of the 17th day of October, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between QuadraMed Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Keith B. Hagen (“Seller”), a Virginia resident, with reference to the following facts:

RECITALS

A. Seller is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the holder of 110,000 shares of Common Stock issued by the Company, granted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreement, dated September 26, 2005, as amended and restated August 8, 2007, by and between the Company and Seller.

B. The Company has agreed to repurchase 46,420 of such shares of Common Stock from Seller (the “Repurchased Shares”), in connection with the policy approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, dated July 17, 2008, to permit the Seller to satisfy the tax liability associated with the vesting of such shares on the Effective Date.

C. The Company and Seller therefore have determined it is in their respective best interests to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

TERMS OF PURCHASE

1. Sale and Transfer of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Seller hereby agrees to sell, transfer, convey and surrender to the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to purchase and receive, the Repurchased Shares.

2. Consideration for Purchase of Shares. The Company’s per share purchase price for the Repurchased Shares shall be equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock, as reported by The NASDAQ Stock Exchange, LLC, on the Effective Date (the “Per Share Price”). The aggregate purchase price for the Repurchased Shares shall be equal to the product of the Per Share Price times 46,420 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be payable by the Company’s normal payroll processor, ADP, at the Seller’s next regular pay date after the Effective Date.

3. Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby warrants, represents and covenants to the Company, and this Agreement is made in reliance on the following, each of which is deemed a separate covenant, representation and warranty:

a. Seller is the owner, beneficially and of record, of the Repurchased Shares free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security agreements, equities, options, claims, charges and restrictions, and has not heretofore conveyed, transferred or assigned to any person or entity any interest in any or all of the Repurchased Shares.

b. Seller has the right, power, legal capacity, and authority to enter into, and perform his respective obligations under this Agreement, and no approvals or consents of any person or entity are required.

c. Neither the entry into nor the carrying out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder will result in any breach, violation of, or conflict with any term or provision of any material agreement, lease, lien, indenture, instrument, judgment, governmental permit, franchise, license, law, or regulation to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound.

d. This Agreement has been, or upon delivery will have been, duly executed by Seller and constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller enforceable against him in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

e. Seller has determined to enter into this Agreement and resell the Repurchased Shares to the Company of his own volition. Seller has access to the Company’s most recent financial statements and has had a full opportunity to discuss with the Company’s officers and directors, the Company, its finances, its prospects and such other matters as Seller may desire. Seller has had the opportunity to review this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with his own legal counsel. Seller is not relying solely on any statements or representations of the Company (other than as are set forth in Section 4) or any of its agents for business, financial or legal advice with respect to the sale of the Repurchased Shares. Seller agrees that neither the Company’s, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or accountants, nor any of its other shareholders nor their respective controlling persons, entities, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any other shareholder shall be liable to Seller for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Repurchased Shares.

f. Seller acknowledges and understands that as a result of his sale of the Repurchased Shares that his proportionate interest in the Company will decrease.

The representations of Seller made hereunder shall be deemed made both as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date.
