CUSIP NO. 0000918581
 
The Reporting Persons submitted the Nomination Letter because the Reporting Persons believe the Nominees are highly qualified candidates with relevant credentials and skill-sets, including implementing corporate governance best practices, who will be vital in evaluating and executing on initiatives to unlock value at the Issuer, as evidenced by their bios below.
 
The Reporting Persons intend to engage in discussions with management, the Board and shareholders of the Issuer regarding the nomination of directors at the Annual Meeting and the composition of the Issuer’s Board generally in the hopes of avoiding a contested election at the Annual Meeting.
 
Richard A. Genovese is currently serving as an Independent Advisor/Consultant and a personal investment manager.  Previously, Mr. Genovese served as President of The New Managed Services Business Unit at ServiceSource International, Inc., a global leader in recurring revenue management, from August 2014 until September 2014.  From February 2012 to January 2014, Mr. Genovese served as the Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Ciber and as its Executive Vice President of North American Operations from September 2011 to February 2012.  Prior to joining Ciber, Mr. Genovese worked at various technology and consulting leaders including IBM, Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) and Electronic Data Systems (EDS).

Re:
Ciber, Inc.
 
Dear [_______]:

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors of Ciber Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the proxy solicitation that Legion Partners, L.P. I and its affiliates (collectively, “Legion”) are considering undertaking to nominate and elect directors at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, including any other meeting of shareholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “Solicitation”).  Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to the Company and all of its shareholders.  This letter (this “Agreement”) will set forth the terms of our agreement.
 
Legion agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all claims of any nature, whenever brought, arising from the Solicitation and any related transactions, irrespective of the outcome; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to indemnification for claims arising from your gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material violations of law, criminal actions or material breach of the terms of this agreement; provided further, that upon your becoming a director of the Company, this indemnification shall not apply to any claims made against you in your capacity as a director of the Company.  This indemnification will include any and all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitration action, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation asserted against, resulting, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by you, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from the Solicitation and any related transactions (each, a “Loss”).
 
In the event of a claim against you pursuant to the prior paragraph or the occurrence of a Loss, you shall give Legion prompt written notice of such claim or Loss (provided that failure to promptly notify Legion shall not relieve us from any liability which we may have on account of this Agreement, except to the extent we shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure).  Upon receipt of such written notice, Legion will provide you with counsel to represent you.  Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to you.  In addition, you will be reimbursed promptly for all Losses suffered by you and as incurred as provided herein.  Legion may not enter into any settlement of loss or claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.
 
You hereby agree to keep confidential and not disclose to any party, without the consent of Legion, any confidential, proprietary or non-public information (collectively, “Information”) of Legion, its affiliates or members of its Schedule 13D group which you have heretofore obtained or may obtain in connection with your service as a nominee hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Information shall not include any information that is publicly disclosed by Legion, its affiliates or members of its Schedule 13D group or any information that you can demonstrate is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on your part, otherwise generally known to the public.
 
 
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process to disclose any Information you may do so provided that you first promptly notify Legion so that Legion or any member thereof may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Legion sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained or Legion does not waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, you may consult with counsel at the cost of Legion and you may furnish only that portion of the Information which you are advised by counsel is legally required to be so disclosed and you will request that the party(ies) receiving such Information maintain it as confidential.

All Information, all copies thereof, and any studies, notes, records, analysis, compilations or other documents prepared by you containing such Information, shall be and remain the property of Legion and, upon the request of a representative of Legion, all such information shall be returned or, at Legion option, destroyed by you, with such destruction confirmed by you to Legion in writing.

This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.
 

 
*              *              *
 
 
 

 
 
If you agree to the foregoing terms, please sign below to indicate your acceptance.
 

 
Very truly yours,
