DAVID PETERSCHMIDT EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.2

XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of March 25, 2014 by and between CIBER, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated July 1, 2010 (the “Original Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Original Employment Agreement in its entirety on the terms set forth below.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Term. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts such employment for a term commencing as of the date hereof and ending March 24, 2016 unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 or Section 5 (the period during which the Executive is employed hereunder being hereinafter referred to as the “Term”).

2. Duties.

(a)The Executive, in his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) shall faithfully perform for the Company the duties of said office and shall perform such other duties of an executive, managerial, or administrative nature, as shall be specified and designated from time to time by the board of directors or similar governing body of the Company (the “Board”) (including the performance of services for, and serving on the Board of Directors of, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company without any additional compensation). The Executive will be based at the Company’s headquarters, presently located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The Executive shall devote substantially all of the Executive’s business time and effort to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, provided that in no event shall this sentence prohibit the Executive from performing personal and charitable activities and any other activities approved by the Board, so long as such activities do not materially and adversely interfere with the Executive’s duties for the Company.

(b) The Company shall nominate Executive for election (or re-election, as the case may be) as a member of the Board for so long as Executive remains Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

3. Compensation.

3.1 Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive during the Term a base salary at the rate of $710,000 per annum (the “Annual Salary”), payable bi-weekly and subject to regular deductions and withholdings as required by law. The Annual Salary may be increased (but not decreased) annually by an amount as may be approved by the Board, and, upon such increase, the increased amount shall thereafter be deemed to be the Annual Salary for purposes of this Agreement.

3.2 Bonus. The Executive will be entitled to such bonuses as may be authorized by the Board based on achievement of performance targets specified annually by the Board. The Executive’s bonus amount will be 105% of Annual Salary if the target is achieved for the respective fiscal year. There shall be no minimum guaranteed bonus amount, thus, the bonus paid to the Executive may be greater or lesser than 105% of Annual Salary based upon whether the target performance factors have been achieved or exceeded. Any annual bonus payable to the Executive hereunder shall be paid fully in cash, payable quarterly, and shall be paid no later than 2½ months following the fiscal quarter with respect to which the bonus is earned. The performance targets established for the Executive shall be substantially the same as those performance targets established for other “Section 16 Officers” of the Company.

3.3 Equity-Based Awards. The Executive may from time to time be awarded such restricted stock units, stock options, or other equity-based awards as the Board determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate, which awards shall be evidenced by separate award agreements; provided, however, that the target amount of equity-based awards granted to the Executive for any year shall not be less than the target amount of equity-based awards granted to the chief executive officer of companies in the 50^th percentile of the Company’s peer group, as determined by the compensation consultant retained by the Board. Effective July 1, 2010 (or promptly upon the Executive commencing services under the Original Employment Agreement), the Executive was awarded, as an inducement grant outside of the Equity Incentive Plan, 1,400,000 stock options (the “Initial Equity Grant”), twenty-five percent (25%) of which vested on July 1, 2011, twenty-five percent (25%) of which vested on July 1, 2012, twenty-five percent (25%) of which vested on July 1, 2013 and twenty-five percent (25%) of which shall vest on July 1, 2014, in each case subject to the Executive’s continued employment. Stock options that comprise the Initial Equity Grant shall have a term of seven (7) years from the date of the Initial Equity Grant (the last date of such term, the “Option Expiration Date”). The Initial Equity Grant shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan to the extent applicable, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and by this reference made a part hereof (as may be amended from time to time). For the purposes of this Section 3.3, “Equity Incentive Plan” shall mean the CIBER, Inc. 2004 Incentive Plan (as amended and restated as of February 28, 2010).

3.4 Benefits - In General. The Executive shall have the right during the Term to participate in any group life, medical, dental or disability insurance plans, health programs, pension and profit sharing plans and similar benefits that are made available to other senior executives of

the Company generally, on the same or more favorable terms (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) as may be made available to such other executives, in each case to the extent that the Executive is eligible under the terms of such plans or programs.

3.5 Vacation/Personal Days. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to take vacation and/or personal days in accordance with the Company’s human resources policies for senior executives.

3.6 Expenses - General. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred (and, in the case of reimbursement, paid) by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement, provided that the Executive submits such expenses in accordance with the policies applicable to senior executives of the Company generally.

3.7 Business Travel. The Executive shall be subject to the Company’s travel policy, as may be amended from time to time, when the Executive is required to travel for business; provided, however, that the Executive shall have the right to cause the Company to amend its travel policy.

4. Termination upon Death or Disability. If the Executive dies during the Term, the obligations of the Company to or with respect to the Executive shall terminate in their entirety, except as otherwise provided under this Section 4. If the Executive becomes eligible for disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plans and arrangements (or, if none apply, would have been so eligible under the most recent plan or arrangement), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to terminate the employment of the Executive solely as a result of such disability upon notice in writing to the Executive and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement; provided that, the Company will have no right to terminate the Executive’s employment if, in the opinion of a qualified physician reasonably acceptable to the Company, it is reasonable to assume that the Executive will be able to resume the Executive’s duties on a regular full-time basis within 90 days of the date the Executive receives notice of such termination.

Upon death of the Executive or upon termination of the Executive’s employment by virtue of his qualification for long-term disability (i) the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of the Executive) shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefits under this Agreement on and after the Effective Date of the Termination (as defined below in this Section 4), other than the Annual Salary earned and unpaid under this Agreement prior to the Effective Date of the Termination, a pro-rata bonus with respect to the calendar year in which the Effective Date of Termination occurred to the extent performance goals related to the bonus have been achieved (to be paid at the same time bonuses are normally paid for the year),

reimbursement for reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or wife in the case of the death of the Executive) to move personal effects from Colorado to California and for the Closing Costs related to the sale of the Executive’s Colorado residence, and other benefits (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred but not paid prior to the Effective Date of the Termination), (ii) all unvested equity awards held by the Executive (including the Initial Equity Grant) shall be 100% vested as of the Effective Date of the Termination, provided, however, that if the equity awards are subject to performance vesting requirements, such vesting will only occur to the extent the performance goals for any pending bonus period(s) are subsequently determined to have been achieved, and (iii) all vested equity awards (including the vested portion of the Initial Equity Grant) must be exercised by the earlier of (A) the one year anniversary of the Effective Date of the Termination, and (B) the Option Expiration Date. In the event of a termination of the Executive’s employment as a result of his qualification for long-term disability, in addition to the amount specified in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Executive will also be entitled to receive disability benefits under the Company’s then existing long-term disability plans and arrangements. This Agreement shall otherwise terminate upon the Effective Date of the Termination and there shall be no further rights with respect to the Executive hereunder (except as provided in Section 8.14). For purposes of this Section 4, the “Effective Date of the Termination” shall mean the date of death or the date on which a notice of termination by virtue of Executive’s qualification for long-term disability is given by the Company or any later date set forth in such notice of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Costs” shall mean the expenses, over and above the price of the property that parties to such a sale normally incur and shall include appraisal fees, title searches, title insurance, surveys, taxes, deed-recording fees and credit report charges, but shall not include (i) one half of any real estate broker’s fees or commissions or (ii) any loss incurred due to change in value of the residence.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments set forth in this Section 4 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment during the Term upon his death or by virtue of his qualification for long-term disability.

6.5 Reasonable and Necessary Restrictions. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions hereof, including, without limitation those

contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 are reasonable, fair and equitable in terms of duration, scope and geographic area, are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and are a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement.

7. Confidentiality.

7.1 Confidential Information and Materials. All of the Confidential Information and Materials, as defined herein, are and shall continue to be the exclusive confidential property and trade secrets of the Company. Confidential Information and Materials have been or will be disclosed to the Executive solely by virtue of his employment with the Company and solely for the purpose of assisting him in performing his duties for the Company. “Confidential Information and Materials” refers to all information belonging to or used by the Company or the Company’s clients relating to internal operations, procedures and policies, finances, income, profits, business strategies, pricing, billing information, compensation and other personnel information, client contacts, sales lists, employee lists, technology, software source codes, programs, costs, marketing plans, developmental plans, acquisition or disposition plans, computer programs, computer systems, inventions, developments, personnel manuals, computer program manuals, programs and system designs, and trade secrets of every kind and character, whether or not they constitute a trade secret under applicable law and whether developed by the Executive during or after business hours. The Executive acknowledges and agrees all Confidential Information and Materials shall, to the extent possible, be considered works made for hire for the Company under applicable copyright law. To the extent any Confidential Information and Materials are not deemed to be a work made for hire, the Executive hereby assigns to the Company any rights he may have or may acquire in such Confidential Information and Materials as they are created, throughout the world, in perpetuity. Further, the Executive hereby waives any and all moral rights he may have in such Confidential Information and Materials.

The Executive shall not use, in any manner other than to further the Company’s business, any such Confidential Information and Materials of the Company. Upon termination of his employment, the Executive shall immediately return all Confidential Information and Materials or other property of the Company or its clients or potential clients in his possession or control.

8. Other Provisions.

The Executive hereby acknowledges and warrants that he will be fully able to earn a livelihood for himself and his dependents if these covenants are specifically enforced against him. The Executive hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be required to post bond as a condition to obtaining or exercising such remedies, and the Executive hereby waives any such requirement or condition.

8.2 Severability. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive has had an opportunity to seek advice of counsel in connection with this Agreement. If it is determined that any of the provisions of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full affect, without regard to the invalid portions.

8.3 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or any term or provision thereof, the losing party shall be responsible to pay or reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such proceeding.

8.17 Section 409A if the Internal Revenue Code.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (A) on the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or a subsidiary, any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”)) and (B) as a result of such termination, the Executive would receive any payment that, absent the application of this Section 8.17, would be subject to interest and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earliest of (1) six (6) months after the Executive’s termination date, (2) the Executive’s death, or (3) such other date as will cause such payment not to be subject to such interest and additional tax.

(b) It is the intention of the parties that payments or benefits payable under this Agreement not be subject to the additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (“409A”). To the extent such potential payments or benefits could become subject to such Section, the parties shall cooperate to amend this Agreement with the goal of giving the Executive the economic benefits described herein in a manner that does not result in such tax being imposed.

(c) Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, all reimbursements to the Executive shall be paid as promptly as practical and in any event not later than the last day of the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred, and the amount of the expenses eligible for reimbursement during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year. With respect to payments under this Agreement, for purposes of 409A, each severance payment and COBRA continuation reimbursement payment will be considered one of a series of separate payments, and the Executive’s termination date will be treated as the Executive’s separation from service as defined under 409A.

(d) Amounts payable under this Agreement following the Executive’s termination of employment, other than those expressly payable on a deferred or installment basis, will be paid as promptly as practical after such a termination of employment and, in any event, within 2 ½ months after the end of the year in which employment terminates.

8.18 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) an “affiliate” of any person means another person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such first person, and includes subsidiaries.

(b) A “business day” means the period from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in the mountain time zone on any weekday that is not a banking holiday in New York City, New York.

(c) A “person” means an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or any other entity or organization, including any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority.

(d) A “subsidiary” of any person means another person, an amount of the voting securities, other voting ownership or voting partnership interests of which is sufficient to elect at least a majority of its board of directors or other governing body (or, if there are no such voting interests or no board of directors or other governing body, 50% or more of the equity interests of which) is owned directly or indirectly by such first person.

8.19 Release. The Executive agrees that, except for such other payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable benefit plan, such liquidated damages shall be in lieu of all other claims that the Executive may make by reason of any such termination of his employment and that, as a condition to receiving the Severance Payments, the Executive will execute a release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion and drafted so as to ensure a final, complete and enforceable release of all claims that the Executive has or may have against the Company relating to or arising in any way from the Executive’s employment with the Company and/or the termination thereof. Within two business days of the Effective Date of Termination, the Company shall deliver to the Executive the release for the Executive to execute. The Executive will forfeit all rights to the Severance Payments unless the Executive executes and delivers to the Company the release within 30 days of delivery of the release by the Company to the Executive and such release has become irrevocable by virtue of the expiration of the revocation period without the release having been revoked (the first such date, the “Release Effective Date”). The Company shall have no obligation to provide the Severance Payments prior to the Release Effective Date. Severance payments shall be made within three business days of the Release Effective Date and any payments not made because due prior to the Release Effective Date shall be paid in a single lump sum within such three business day period. If the Executive fails to comply with his obligations under Sections 6 and 7, the Executive shall, to the extent such amounts are paid, vested or distributed, (i) forfeit outstanding equity awards, (ii) transfer the shares underlying equity awards that were accelerated and settled in shares to the Company for no consideration and (iii) repay the after-tax amount of the Severance Payments and any equity awards that were accelerated and settled in cash or sold.

8.20 Parachute Provisions. In the event Executive becomes entitled to any amount of benefits payable in connection with a change in control (whether or not such amounts are payable pursuant to this Agreement) (the “Change in Control Payments”) and Executive’s receipt of such Change in Control Payments would cause Executive to become subject to the excise tax (the “Excise

Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar federal, state, or local tax that may hereafter be imposed), the Company shall reduce the Change in Control Payments to the extent necessary to avoid the application of the Excise Tax if, as a result of such reduction, the net benefits to Executive of the Change in Control Payments as so reduced (after payment of applicable income taxes) exceeds the net benefit to Executive of the Change in Control Payments without such reduction (after payment of applicable income taxes and excise taxes). Unless Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the foregoing, the Company shall reduce the Change in Control Payments by first reducing the portion of the Change in Control Payments which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the change in control. Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. The determination that Executive’s Change in Control Payments would cause him to become subject to the Excise Tax and the calculation of the amount of any reduction, shall be made, at the Company’s discretion, by the Company’s outside auditing firm or by a nationally-recognized accounting or benefits consulting firm designated by the Company prior to a change in control. The firm’s expenses shall be paid by the Company.
