Exhibit 99.2


FIRST AMENDMENT

 TO

AGREEMENT OF REPRESENTATION AND INDEMNITY


AMENDMENT, dated October 31, 2007, to Agreement of Representation and Indemnity, dated May 3, 1994, between Computer Task Group, Incorporated, a New York corporation (the “Company”), and Thomas R. Beecher, Jr. (the “Trustee”), (the “Representation Agreement”).


RECITALS


The Trustee is designated as the Trustee under the Trust Agreement, dated May 3, 1994, between the Company and Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”), and the Trustee has served as the trustee of the Trust formed under the Trust Agreement (the “Trust”) since its formation through the date of this Amendment.


Section 8.2 of the Trust Agreement provides that, subject to the terms of that section, the Trust shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Trust no longer holds any assets, (b) May 3, 2004, or (c) the date specified in a written notice of termination given by the Board of Directors of the Company to the Trustee. Section 8.2 of the Trust Agreement also provides that if the Trust terminates (other than upon a Change of Control as defined in the Trust Agreement), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) shall direct the Trustee to sell some or all of the assets in the Trust, and that thereafter the proceeds of any sale and the remaining assets in the Trust shall be distributed as directed by the Committee to the employee plans identified in the Trust Agreement (the “Plans”), used to pay off any loans of the Company to the Trust that are then outstanding, or returned to the Company as directed by the Committee in its discretion.


The Committee has not given the Trustee any direction concerning disposition of the assets of the Trust after a termination of the Trust.  Rather, the Trust has been actively maintained and used for its stated purposes through the date of this Amendment, and the Company desires to continue to maintain and use the Trust for its stated purposes in the future.  On the date of  this Amendment, the Company is entering into an Amendment to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) which provides for a change in the termination date referred to in subsection (b) of Section 8.2 of the Trust Agreement to May 3, 2014, and which provides for the continuation of the Trust during the period from May 3, 2004 through the date of the Trust Agreement Amendment and thereafter until terminated under the terms of the Trust Agreement as amended.  As contemplated by Section 8.1 of the Trust Agreement, the Company has requested the Trustee’s consent to the Trust Agreement Amendment.


To induce the Trustee to consent to the Trust Agreement Amendment, the parties are entering into this Amendment to clarify and modify the terms of the Representation Agreement.
