EXHIBIT 10 (p)

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009

THIS AGREEMENT, effective as of                          (the “Effective Date”),
is between Computer Task Group, Incorporated, a New York corporation with its
executive offices at 800 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14209 (the
“Corporation”), and                          , an individual residing at
                                              (the “Executive”). The Agreement
is amended and restated effective January 1, 2009.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Executive is employed by the Corporation; and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the Corporation to reinforce and
encourage the Executive’s continued disinterested full attention and
undistracted dedication to the duties of the Executive currently and in the
potentially disturbing circumstances of a possible change in control of the
Corporation by providing some degree of personal financial security to the
Executive; and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the Corporation to enable the Executive,
without being influenced by the uncertainties of the Executive’s own situation,
to assess and advise the Corporation whether proposals concerning any potential
change in control are in the best interests of the Corporation and its
shareholders and to take other action regarding these proposals as the
Corporation might determine to be appropriate; and

WHEREAS, to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Corporation, the
Board of Directors has determined it is desirable to pay the Executive the
compensation set forth below if the Executive’s employment with the Corporation
terminates in one of the circumstances described below in connection with a
change in control of the Corporation; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement has been amended and restated effective January 1, 2009
to comply with final regulations promulgated under Internal Revenue Code
(“Code”) Section 409A and shall be construed to the extent practicable so as to
avoid causing any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder to be includable in
his gross income under Code Section 409A(a)(1).

in this Agreement, the Corporation and the Executive agree as follows:

stock of the Corporation that are outstanding and exercisable on the date as of
which the Aggregate Exercise Price of those options is to be determined; and

Successor Equity that are outstanding and exercisable on the date as of which
the Aggregate Exercise Price of those options is to be determined.

(b) “Built in Gain” means an amount equal to:

Executive, outstanding and unexercised, minus

(ii) the Aggregate Exercise Price of those options.

(c) “Board of Directors” or “Board” means the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.

(d) “Cause” means a finding by the Board of Directors, with notice in writing to
the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail its reasons, that any of the

immediately after the reorganization are, or will be, owned, directly or
indirectly, by stockholders of the Corporation immediately before such
reorganization (assuming for purposes of such determination that there is no
change in the record ownership of the Corporation’s securities from the record
date for such approval until such reorganization and that such record owners
hold no securities of the other parties to such reorganization, but including in
such determination any securities of the other parties to such reorganization
held by affiliates of the Corporation);

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, but excluding any
person described in and satisfying the conditions of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)
thereunder), other than the Corporation, any Subsidiary of the Corporation, any
employee benefit plan of the Corporation or of any of its Subsidiaries or any
Person holding common shares of the Corporation for or pursuant to the terms of
any such employee benefit plan, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Corporation representing more than 20% of the combined voting power of the
Corporation’s then outstanding securities entitled to then vote generally in the
election of directors of the Corporation; or

(v) During any period not longer than two consecutive years, individuals who at
the beginning of such period constituted the Board cease to constitute at least

Aggregate Exercise Price that does not exceed the Aggregate Exercise Price of
the options to purchase common stock of the Corporation owned by the Executive
on the date of the Change in Control and which options, if exercised by the
Executive in full immediately following that Change in Control, would provide
for the ownership by the Executive of Successor Equity that, immediately
following the acquisition of that Successor Equity by the Executive, may be sold
by the Executive, free of any restrictions imposed on the sale of securities by
the Securities Act of 1933, and which satisfy the requirements of Regulation
§1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) so that the exchange of options to purchase stock of the
Corporation for Conversion Options will not be treated as the grant of a new
stock right or change in the form of payment for purposes of said Regulation.
Under no circumstances is the Executive required to accept a grant of Conversion
Options from the Successor.

(i) A material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, duties, role or
authority within the business organization.

The Corporation shall have 30 days following the date of receipt of the written
notice from the Executive stating his claim of Good Reason in which to take
appropriate corrective action. If the Corporation does not correct the Good
Reason condition, the Executive’s Good Reason termination will be deemed to have
occurred on the day following the 30-day period.

(l) “Highest Sale Price” means:

(i) with respect to the common stock of the Corporation, the highest closing

following the Change in Control except as otherwise provided in Section 0(a) or
0(b). For purposes of this Section, references to payments by the Corporation
include payments from any entity related to the Corporation, such as the

Regulations. The Executive will be entitled to exercise all these awards for a
period of not less than 12 months following the Change in Control provided that
such exercise period shall not in any event extend beyond the last day of the
original exercise period of the relevant stock-related award. The acceleration
of vesting and exercisability under this Section will apply notwithstanding any

thereunder shall be payable only at the time and in the manner provided under
the relevant deferred compensation plan. For purposes only of (ii) in the
preceding sentence, a Change in Control under Section 0(e) (ii) will be

of the sum of (i) one times his full rate of salary, as defined in Section 0(a),
and (ii) highest annual bonus, as defined in Section 0(b). This payment
represents the value to which the parties agree the Executive otherwise would be
entitled with respect to fringe benefits (including without limitation profit
sharing, 401(k), retirement, pension, health, medical, dental, disability,
insurance, automobile, severance, vacation, leave, reimbursement, and similar
benefits) for 24 months. Notwithstanding any payment under this Section 0(c),
the Executive shall remain entitled to exercise his COBRA rights under any group
health plan maintained by the Corporation or the Successor as applicable.

of his Termination of Employment or the date of the Change in Control (the
“Determination Date”), unexercised options to purchase common stock of the

lump sum amount equal to:

(A) the Highest Sale Price of the common stock of the Corporation determined as

options to purchase common stock of the Corporation owned by the Executive on
the Determination Date.

(ii) IN SUCCESSOR. If Executive owns, on the later of the date of his
Termination of Employment (the “Determination Date”), unexercised Conversion
Options, the Conversion Options shall be cancelled, and the Executive shall

unit of Successor Equity that could be acquired by the Executive on the exercise

trust established with a bank trustee that is reasonably acceptable to the
Executive. The trust agreement shall be similar to the form of agreement
provided in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64 (concerning rabbi trusts) and shall
provide that no amount held in the trust shall revert to the Corporation or its
Successor or be used for any other purpose (other than the payment of the
Corporation’s creditors in the event of its insolvency) until the amounts that

this Section 0 have been paid.

 

96

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITHHOLDING. The Corporation will deduct or withhold from all salary and bonus
payments, and from all other payments made to the Executive pursuant to this
Agreement, all amounts that may be required to be deducted or withheld under any
applicable Social Security contribution, income tax withholding or other similar
law now in effect or that may become effective during the term of this
Agreement.

OTHER TERMINATION. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause or
because of death or Disability, or not within the time related to a Change in
Control as described in Section 0, no benefits will be payable under this
Agreement.

NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. Except as otherwise specifically provided, nothing in
this Agreement prevents or limits the Executive’s continued or future
participation in any benefit, incentive, or other plan, practice, or program
provided by the Corporation and for which the Executive may qualify. Any amount
of vested benefit or any amount to which the Executive is otherwise entitled
under any plan, practice, or program of the Corporation will be payable in
accordance with the plan, practice, or program, except as specifically modified
by this Agreement. However, if the Executive receives the payments under Section
0, the Executive will not be entitled to any severance payments (which excludes
for this purpose all types of equity-based compensation not cashed out under
Section 0(e)) otherwise payable under any other agreement, plan, or practice
providing for severance compensation.

NO OBLIGATION TO SEEK OTHER EMPLOYMENT. The Executive will not be obligated to
seek other employment or to take other action to mitigate any amount payable to
him under this Agreement.

by the Executive other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Executive’s legal representatives or successors in interest. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the Executive may designate a successor or
successors in interest to receive any amounts due under this Agreement after the
Executive’s death. A designation of a successor in interest must be made in
writing, signed by the Executive, and delivered to the Corporation. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, if the Executive has not designated a
successor in interest, payment of benefits under this Agreement will be made to
the Executive’s estate. This Section will not supersede any designation of
beneficiary or successor in interest made by the Executive or provided for under
any other plan, practice, or program of the Corporation. This Agreement will
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Corporation and its successors
and assigns. The Corporation will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by acquisition of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all
or substantially all of the operations or assets of the Corporation or any
successor, and without regard to the form of transaction used to acquire the
operations or assets of the Corporation, to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would
be required to perform it if no succession had taken place. As used in this
Agreement, “Corporation” means the Corporation and any successor to its
operations or assets as set forth in this Section that is required by this
clause to assume and agree to perform this Agreement or that otherwise assumes
and agrees to perform this Agreement.

BENEFIT CLAIMS. In the event the Executive, or his beneficiaries, as the case
may be, and the Corporation disagree as to their respective rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and the Executive or his beneficiaries are
successful in establishing, privately or otherwise, that his or their position
is substantially correct, or that the Corporation’s position is substantially
wrong or unreasonable, or in the event that the disagreement is resolved by
settlement, the Corporation will pay all costs and expenses, including counsel
fees, that the Executive or his beneficiaries may incur in connection therewith
directly to the provider of the services or as may otherwise be directed by the
Executive or his beneficiaries. The Corporation will not delay or reduce the
amount of any payment provided for

whatsoever; it is the intention of the Corporation and the Executive that the
amounts payable to the Executive or his beneficiaries hereunder will continue to
be paid in all events in the manner and at the times herein provided. All
payments made by the Corporation hereunder will be final and the Corporation
will not seek to recover all or any part of any portion of any payments
hereunder for any reason.

FAILURE, DELAY OR WAIVER. No course of action or failure to act by the
Corporation or the Executive will constitute a waiver by the party of any right
or remedy under this Agreement, and no waiver by either party of any right or
remedy under this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing.

SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be
interpreted in such a manner as to be enforceable under applicable law. However,
if any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable under applicable law
by a court having jurisdiction, the provision will be unenforceable only to the
extent necessary to make it enforceable without invalidating the remainder
thereof or any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

writing and (a) delivered in person, (b) mailed by registered or certified mail,
