THIS AGREEMENT is made on 23 August 2016 by and between:

PARTIES:

1. CIBER INTERNATIONAL B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), with corporate seat (statutaire zetel) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and its office address at Vredeoord 105, 2e verdieping, 5621CX Eindhoven, the Netherlands, registered with the Trade Register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 24257040 (the Seller); and

2. EXPERIS AS, a private company with limited liability (Norwegian: Aksjeselskap), with corporate seat in Oslo, Norway and its office address at Xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx 0, 0000 Xxxx, registered at the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises under number 982 683 955 (the Purchaser),

(each a party in this Agreement and, together, the parties).

Capitalised terms used in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Schedule 14.

WHEREAS:

(A)    As at the date hereof, the Seller owns the Shares.

(B)    The Seller has agreed to sell and transfer the Shares and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase and accept transfer of the Shares on the terms of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, with effect from Closing.

IT IS AGREED:

0.XXXX AND PURCHASE

1.1 The Seller shall sell, and the Purchaser shall purchase, the Shares with effect from Closing with all rights then attaching to them including the right to receive all distributions and dividends declared, paid or made in respect of the Shares after Closing.

1.2 The Shares shall be sold free from all Third Party Rights and ownership and risk in them shall (except as otherwise set out in this Agreement) pass to the Purchaser with effect from Closing.

2. PRICE

2.1 The price for the Shares (the Final Price) shall be the amount which results from taking NOK 57,377,049 (the Debt Free/Cash Free Price) and:

(a) subtracting the aggregate of the External Debt;

(b) adding the aggregate of the Cash; and

(c) adding the amount of the difference between the aggregate Working Capital and the Target Working Capital if that aggregate Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital (or subtracting the amount of such difference if that aggregate Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital).

2.2 At Closing, the Purchaser shall pay:

(a) a sum of NOK 5,737,705 (the Escrow Amount) to the Escrow Agent into the Escrow Account; and

(b) the Initial Price less the Escrow Amount to the Seller in United States Dollars, converted from NOK to United States Dollars at the US Exchange Rate,

where the Initial Price is the Debt Free/Cash Free Price (i) minus the aggregate of the Estimated External Debt (ii) plus the aggregate of the Estimated Cash (iii) plus or minus, as the case may be, the difference between the amount of the Estimated Working Capital and the Target Working Capital, as set out in Exhibit 1.

2.3 The Final Price shall be calculated after Closing on the basis set out in Schedule 9. Any payments required to be made under the Financial Adjustments shall be treated as adjusting the Initial Price, thus resulting after such adjustment in the Final Price. The Final Price shall (subject to any further adjustment, if applicable, pursuant to clause 2.4) be adopted for all Tax reporting purposes.

2.4 Any payment made in satisfaction of a liability arising under a Seller Obligation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligation to pay the Client Adjustment Amount in accordance with this Agreement) or a Purchaser Obligation shall adjust the price paid for the Shares.

3. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

3.1 Closing shall be conditional on the following Conditions having been fulfilled or waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement:

(a) the Competition Authority of Norway has, under the applicable merger control laws:

(i) given the approval, consent or clearances required under relevant law for completion of the Proposed Transaction, either unconditionally or subject to conditions, obligations, undertakings or modifications accepted by the Purchaser;

(ii) rendered a decision that no approval, consent or clearance is required under relevant law for completion of the Proposed Transaction; or

(iii) failed to render a decision within the applicable waiting period under law and such failure is considered under such law to be a grant of all requisite consents or clearances under such law or referred the Proposed Transaction or any part thereof to another Governmental Entity in accordance with law and one of the requirements listed in items (i) through (ii) above has been fulfilled in respect of such other Governmental Entity.

- 2 -

(b) the Seller and its Affiliates having obtained from Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as Lender and Agent under the Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) entered into as of May 7, 2012 by and among the lenders identified in the signature pages to the Credit Agreement, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (as Agent, and such other capacities as described in the Credit Agreement) and Ciber Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries as set forth in the Credit Agreement the written consent for the entering into and consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Change or any events or circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change; and

3.2 The Purchaser shall, at its own cost, use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Condition in clause 3.1(a) is fulfilled promptly after the date of this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Seller shall, each at its own cost, use reasonable efforts to ensure that the other Conditions are fulfilled to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable. The Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in obtaining all consents, approvals or actions of any Governmental Entity which are required in order to satisfy any relevant Condition and shall take all steps as are reasonable for that purpose (including making appropriate submissions, notifications and filings, in consultation with the other, on or before the date of this Agreement). The Seller and Purchaser shall for this purpose:

(a) promptly (but in any case within 2 Business Days) notify the other party (and provide copies or, in the case of non-written communications, details) of any communications with any such Governmental Entity relating to any such consent, approval or action, save to the extent such communications contain commercially sensitive information of a party or any of its Affiliates;

(b) keep the other informed of any communication (whether written or oral) with any such Governmental Entity;

(c) take into account any reasonable comments and requests of the other party and its advisers; and

(d) regularly review with the other party the progress of any notifications or filings with a view to obtaining the relevant consent, approval or action from any Governmental Entity at the earliest reasonable opportunity.

3.3 The Seller shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide any Governmental Entity and, save to the extent such information contains commercially sensitive information of the Seller or any member of the Seller Group, the Purchaser and its legal advisers with any necessary information and documents reasonably required for the purpose of making any submissions, notifications and filings to any such Governmental Entity.

3.4 If a Governmental Entity is prepared to grant its consent or approval only subject to compliance with specific conditions or obligations to be imposed upon the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have the sole and absolute discretion whether or not to accept the imposition of such conditions and obligations.

- 3 -

3.5 The Condition in clause 3.1(c) may be waived by notice in writing from the Purchaser. The Conditions in clauses 3.1(a) and (b) may only be waived by written agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser.

3.6 The Seller and the Purchaser shall each notify the other promptly (but in any event within 2 Business Days) upon becoming aware that any of the Conditions have been fulfilled. The first Business Day on or by which all Conditions have been fulfilled (or waived in accordance with clause 3.5) is the Unconditional Date.

3.7 If the Unconditional Date has not occurred on or before the day that is 45 days after the date of this Agreement (the Longstop Date) (or such later date as the parties may agree in writing), this Agreement shall automatically terminate (other than in respect of the Surviving Provisions). In such event, neither party (nor any of its Affiliates) shall have any claim under the Transaction Documents of any nature whatsoever against the other party (or any of its Affiliates) except in respect of any rights and liabilities which have accrued before termination or under any of the Surviving Provisions.

4. PRE‑CLOSING SELLER UNDERTAKINGS

5. CLOSING

5.1 Closing shall, where possible, take place by electronic communication and, to the extent not possible, take place in Oslo, at the offices of Advokatfirmaet Selmer DA (or at such other location(s) as the parties may agree) on the second Business Day after the Unconditional Date (provided that all the Conditions (other than those which have been waived in accordance with clause 3) remain fulfilled at that date) or such other date as the parties may agree in writing (the Closing Date).

5.2 At Closing each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall deliver or perform (or ensure that there is delivered or performed) all those documents, items and actions respectively listed in relation to that party or any of its Affiliates in Schedule 5.

5.3 If the Seller (on the one hand) or the Purchaser (on the other) fails to comply with any material obligation in Schedule 5, then the other party shall be entitled (in addition to and without prejudice to other rights and remedies available) by written notice to the party in default on the date Closing would otherwise be due to take place, to:

(a) require Closing to take place so far as practicable having regard to the defaults which have occurred; or

- 4 -

(b) notify the party in default of a new date for Closing (being not more than 5 Business Days after the original date for Closing) in which case the provisions of this clause 5 (other than this clause 5.3) and Schedule 5 shall apply to Closing as so deferred; or

(c) terminate this Agreement (other than the Surviving Provisions).

5.4 If this Agreement is so terminated, neither party nor any of its Affiliates shall have any claim under this Agreement of any nature against the other party or its Affiliates (except in respect of any rights and liabilities which have accrued before termination or under any of the Surviving Provisions).

6. SELLER WARRANTIES

6.1 The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser that on the date of this Agreement and at Closing each and every one of the statements set forth in Schedule 5 is true and accurate.

6.2 The Warranties are given subject to the limitations set out in this clause 6, clause 8 and Schedule 2.

6.3 None of the limitations in Schedule 2 shall apply to any Claim to the extent that the Claim (or the delay in discovery of it) is the consequence of, or is increased as a consequence of, dishonest or deliberate misstatement or concealment or other fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by the Seller or any director, officer or employee (or former officer or employee) of the Seller or any other member of the Seller Group.

6.4 Except in the case of fraud, wilful intent or gross negligence and as against any individual or entity who has acted fraudulently, the Seller agrees and undertakes with the Purchaser that neither it nor any other member of the Seller Group has any rights against, and will waive and shall not make any claim against, any director (other than, if applicable, the Norwegian based directors of the Company), officer, employee, adviser or agent of: (i) the Company; or (ii) any member of the Purchaser Group, on whom the Seller may have relied before agreeing to any term of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or before entering into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 32, the provisions of this clause 6.4 may be relied upon and enforced by each individual or entity for whose benefit it is expressed or intended to be given.

6.5 In the event of a breach of any of the Warranties, the Seller shall, subject to the provisions of this clause and Schedule 2 and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies the Purchaser may otherwise have, compensate the Purchaser for all damages incurred by the Purchaser, its Affiliates and the Company in connection with such breach of Warranty, including payment in cash to the Purchaser of a sum equal to the aggregate of:

(a) the amount which would be necessary to put the Company into the financial position which would have existed had there been no breach of the Warranty; and

(b) all other damages suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company), directly or indirectly, as a result of or in connection with the breach of Warranty.

6.6 The Seller undertakes to notify the Purchaser in writing promptly if it or any other member of the Seller Group becomes aware of any circumstance arising after the date of this

- 5 -

Agreement which would cause any Warranty (if the Warranties were repeated with reference to the facts and circumstances then existing) to become untrue or inaccurate or misleading in any material respect.

6.7 If the Seller has a liability arising under a Seller Obligation, any amounts due in satisfaction of that liability shall be paid in full without deduction or retention (except as required by law or as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement). The Seller hereby waives and relinquishes any right of set-off or counterclaim which it may have in respect of the payment of any such amount.

7. PURCHASER WARRANTIES

The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Seller that on the date of this Agreement each and every one of the statements set forth in Schedule 3 is true and accurate.

8. CONDUCT OF PURCHASER CLAIMS

8.1 If the Purchaser becomes aware of any claim or potential claim by a third party (a Third Party Claim) that might result in a Claim being made by the Purchaser, the Purchaser (subject to the Purchaser and each member of the Purchaser Group being indemnified and secured to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction by the Seller against all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including those of its legal advisers, incurred in respect of that Third Party Claim) shall:

(a) as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within 20 Business Days of becoming aware of such Third Party Claim, give notice of such Third Party Claim to the Seller and ensure that the Seller is given all reasonable information and facilities to investigate it;

(b) not (and ensure that each member of the Purchaser Group shall not) admit liability or make any agreement or compromise in relation to the Third Party Claim without prior consultation with the Seller and shall ensure that any agreement or compromise shall at all times strike a fair balance between the interests of the Seller in keeping the damages as low as possible on one hand and the interests of the Purchaser in maintaining good business relationships with such third parties on the other hand; and

(c) (subject to the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser Group being entitled to employ its own legal advisers) ensure that it and each member of the Purchaser Group shall take such action as the Seller may reasonably request to avoid, resist, dispute, appeal, compromise or defend the Third Party Claim, save to the extent that to do so would:

(i) breach any duty of confidentiality owed by the Purchaser or a member of the Purchaser Group to a third party; or

(ii) prejudice the ability of the Purchaser to bring a claim against the Seller.

8.2 The rights of the Seller under clause 8.1(b) and (c) shall only apply to a Third Party Claim if the Seller gives notice to the Purchaser in writing of its intention to exercise its rights within 10 Business Days of the Purchaser giving notice of the Third Party Claim and also

- 6 -

acknowledges that the Seller is liable, subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement, for damages to the Purchaser arising from that Third Party Claim. If the Seller does not give notice during that period, the Purchaser shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to settle, compromise, or resist any action, proceedings or claim against any member of the Purchaser Group out of which that Third Party Claim may arise.

8.3 Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action pursuant to clause 8.1 if the action or omission requested would, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, be prejudicial to the business, including the commercial interests, reputation, goodwill or relationships, of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or to the Company, including its commercial interests, reputation, goodwill or relationships.

8.4 The Purchaser shall not be precluded from bringing any claim for breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by reason of any breach of the terms of this clause 8.1.

- 7 -

(ii) the aggregate amount of all outstanding Escrow Claims (if any) as of the Second Release Date.

9.4 To the extent that the Purchaser shall have notified the Seller of any Escrow Claim prior to the expiry of the Escrow Period and the amount of any such Escrow Claim shall have been Agreed or Determined, the Seller and the Purchaser shall immediately upon such Agreement or Determination issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay the amount of such Claim from the Escrow Account or, if the aggregate amount in the Escrow Account is less than the amount of the liability, the aggregate amount then standing to the credit of the Escrow Account, to the Purchaser.

9.5 To the extent that the liability for or the quantum of any Escrow Claim or Escrow Claims notified shall not have been Agreed or Determined by the expiry of the Escrow Period (any such Claim, a Relevant Claim), then the amount of the Relevant Claim(s) shall be retained in the Escrow Account following expiry of the Escrow Period until such Relevant Claim(s) are Agreed or Determined. Immediately upon such amount being Agreed or Determined the Seller and the Purchaser shall issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay the amount of any Relevant Claim(s) from the Escrow Account or, if the aggregate amount in the Escrow Account is less than the amount of the liability (as so Agreed or Determined), the aggregate amount then standing to the credit of the Escrow Account, to the Purchaser. Immediately once all such Relevant Claims have been so Agreed or Determined and paid to the Purchaser, the balance (if any) remaining in the Escrow Account shall be paid to the Seller.

9.6 Both the Seller and the Purchaser undertake to issue instructions for payment from the Escrow Account of the amounts due under the above clauses without delay.

10. NO RIGHTS OF RESCISSION OR TERMINATION

Other than in accordance with clause 3.7 or 5.3, neither party shall be entitled to rescind, dissolve or otherwise terminate this Agreement in any circumstances whatsoever (whether before or after Closing).

(b) any Relief included in the Last Accounts: or

14.2 If any insured event occurs before the expiry of the Insured Period in relation to the Company or its business or assets, the Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to make recovery under the relevant policy prior to the expiry of the Insured Period. To the extent that recovery

- 9 -

is made, the Seller shall ensure that the proceeds are applied to restore or replace the relevant insured asset(s) or passed to the Purchaser on the last day of the Insured Period.

14.3 From the expiry of the Insured Period, the Seller shall ensure that all insurance policies which are in force at the expiry of the Insured Period continue in force on the same terms to the extent that (i) they provide cover in relation to the carrying on of the business of the Company before the expiry of the Insured Period and/or any matter or event occurring in relation to any assets of the Company before the expiry of the Insured Period and (ii) under their respective terms, claims can still be made or pursued after the expiry of the Insured Period. The claims that will be made or pursued by or on behalf of the Purchaser Group under the insurance policies (together the Permitted Claims) will include those that have already been notified to the relevant insurer(s) before the expiry of the Insured Period and are pending or outstanding at the expiry of the Insured Period and any additional claims that are notified to the relevant insurer(s) on or before the second anniversary of the Closing.

14.5 Upon the expiry of the Insured Period, and subject to the provisions of clause 14.3 above, all insurance cover arranged in relation to the business or assets of the Company by the Seller Group (whether under policies maintained with third party insurers or other members of the Seller Group) shall cease (other than in relation to insured events taking place before the expiry of the Insured Period) and no member of the Purchaser Group shall make any claim under any such policies in relation to insured events arising after the expiry of the Insured Period.

15. PAYMENT OF INTER-COMPANY DEBT

The provisions of Schedule 8 shall apply in respect of the payment of Inter-Company Debt.

16. PROTECTIVE COVENANTS POST-CLOSING

16.1 Except as permitted pursuant to clause 17, the Seller shall ensure that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall (whether alone or jointly with another and whether directly or indirectly) carry on or be engaged or concerned or interested economically or otherwise in any manner in any Competing Business in Norway for a period of 3 years after the Closing Date. For this purpose Competing Business means a business which competes with any business carried on during the 12 months preceding the Closing Date by the Company.

- 10 -

16.3 Each of the undertakings in clauses 16.1 and 16.2 is given to the Purchaser and to each of its Affiliates. The Seller acknowledges that each is an entirely independent restriction and is no greater than is reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser and its Affiliates. If any such restriction shall be held void or unenforceable but would be valid if deleted in part or reduced in its application, then that restriction shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.

17. POST‑CLOSING UNDERTAKINGS

17.1 For 7 years following the Closing Date, and subject to the provisions of clause 20:

(a) each member of the Purchaser Group shall provide the Seller (at the Seller’s cost) with reasonable access at reasonable times to (and the right to take copies of) the books, accounts, customer lists and all other records held by it after Closing to the extent that they relate to the Company and to the period up to Closing (the Purchaser Records), and such other information, assistance and access to records and personnel as it reasonably requires, but only for the purposes of the preparation of any reasonable accounting records, Tax return or regulatory filing by the Seller (or any member of the Seller Group) or as may be reasonably required for the performance by the Seller of its obligations under the Transaction Documents;

(b) each member of the Seller Group shall provide the Purchaser (at the Purchaser’s cost) with reasonable access at reasonable times to (and the right to take copies of) the books, accounts, customer lists and all other records held by it after Closing to the extent that they relate to the Company (the Seller Records), and such other information, assistance and access to records and personnel as it reasonably requires, but only for the purposes of the preparation of any reasonable accounting records, Tax return or regulatory filing by the Purchaser (or any member of the Purchaser Group) or as may be reasonably required for the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(c) no member of the Purchaser Group shall dispose of, or destroy any of, the Purchaser Records necessary for the preparation of any reasonable accounting records, any Tax return or regulatory filing by the Seller (or any member of the Seller Group) or as may be reasonably required for the performance by the Seller of its obligations under the Transaction Documents without first giving the Seller at least 2 months’ notice of its intention to do so and giving the Seller a reasonable opportunity to remove and retain any of them (at the Seller’s expense); and

(d) no member of the Seller Group shall dispose of, or destroy any of, the Seller Records necessary for the preparation of any reasonable accounting records, any Tax return or regulatory filing by the Purchaser (or any member of the Purchaser Group) or as may be reasonably required for the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations under the Transaction Documents without first giving the Purchaser at least 2 months’ notice of its intention to do so and giving the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to remove and retain any of such records (at the Purchaser’s expense).

17.2 Following the Closing Date:

(a) notwithstanding the obligations of clause 8, each member of the Purchaser Group shall (at the Seller’s expense, to the extent the costs are reasonable) give such assistance to

any member of the Seller Group (including access to records and personnel) as the Seller may reasonably request in relation to any third party proceedings by or against any member of the Seller Group so far as they relate to the Company, including proceedings relating to employees’ claims or Taxation; and

(b) the Seller shall promptly give to the Purchaser all written notices, correspondence, information or enquiries received by it in relation to the Company; and

(c) the Purchaser shall promptly give to the Seller all written notices, correspondence, information or enquiries received by it in relation to any business of the Seller Group not being the Company.

17.3 If, during a period of 18 months following the Closing Date:

Failure to notify the Seller of a Claim within the 45 day period referred to above shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser except to the extent the Seller is materially prejudiced by such failure.

2. Time Limits. The Seller shall not be liable for any Claim unless the Seller receives from the Purchaser written notice containing such details as are then available of the matter giving rise to the Claim:

(a) in the case of a Claim arising from the breach of any Fundamental Warranty (a Fundamental Warranty Claim), before the date that falls 5 years after the Closing;

(a) the amount of the liability pursuant to that single Claim (and, for these purposes, a number of Claims arising out of the same or similar subject matter, facts, events or circumstances may be aggregated and form a single Claim) exceeds 0.05% of the Debt Free/Cash Free Price (in which case the Purchaser shall be able to claim the full amount and not only the excess); and

(b) the aggregate amount of the liability of the Seller for all Claims not excluded by sub paragraph (a) above exceeds 0.5% of the Debt Free/Cash Free Price (in which case the Purchaser shall be able to claim the full amount and not only the excess).

For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that the liability may not have become an actual liability by the relevant date provided in paragraph 2 shall not exonerate the Seller in respect of any Claim properly notified before that date.

- 33 -

(a) an amount equal to the amount recovered from the third party (net of Taxation and less any reasonable costs of recovery) or the value of the relief, saving or benefit obtained, calculated by reference to the amount saved (less any reasonable costs of recovery); or

(b) if the amount referred to in subparagraph (a) exceeds the amount paid by the Seller to the Purchaser or member of the Purchaser Group in respect of the relevant Claim, such lesser amount as shall have been so paid by the Seller.
