Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 11, 2006, Hyperion Solutions Corporation ("Hyperion") announced the appointment of Robin Washington as its new Chief Financial Officer effective as of January 17, 2006. In connection with the appointment, Hyperion and Ms. Washington have entered into an at-will employment agreement effective as of January 17, 2006 and associated offer letter dated December 30, 2005 (collectively, the "Agreements").

Under the Agreements, Ms. Washington will be paid a base salary of $355,000 per year and will be eligible for an annual target bonus of 60% of her base salary. Ms. Washington will also receive a $20,000 signing bonus. Ms. Washington’s employment may be terminated by either party at any time for any reason (or no reason) with 30 days advance written notice.

Ms. Washington will be granted (i) stock options to purchase 135,000 shares of Hyperion Common Stock, vesting 25% after the first year of employment and monthly thereafter for the following 36 months; and (ii) a restricted stock award to purchase 25,000 shares of restricted stock at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, with Hyperion’s repurchase right lapsing in four equal annual installments of 6,250 shares per year, provided that Ms. Washington continues as an employee of or consultant to Hyperion or its subsidiaries.

If Hyperion terminates Ms. Washington's employment for any reason other than permanent disability or cause, then, among other benefits, Hyperion will continue to pay Ms. Washington her base salary for another 12 months.

In the event that Hyperion is subject to a change in ownership and/or control during the term of the employment agreement and (i) within 12 months thereafter, Ms. Washington resigns for good reason; or (ii) within 3 months prior to, or 12 months thereafter, Hyperion terminates Ms. Washington's employment for any reason other than permanent disability or cause; then, among other benefits, Hyperion will continue to pay Ms. Washington's base salary for another 12 months, and all of Ms. Washington's unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other similar forms of equity compensation will immediately vest or otherwise become fully available to her.

The foregoing is a summary description of the terms of the Agreements which by its nature is incomplete. It is qualified in the entirety by the text of the Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
