Exhibit 10.25
MUTUAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS
This Mutual Release of Claims is entered into by and between CIBER, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Richard A. Genovese ("Executive"). It is entered into pursuant to the terms of an Employment Agreement between Executive and Company dated August 21, 2011 (the "Agreement") and in order to resolve amicably all matters between Executive and the Company concerning the Agreement and Executive's termination of employment with the Company and benefits payable to Executive under the terms of the Agreement.
1.    Termination of Employment. Executive's employment with the Company has been terminated as a result of a voluntary resignation by which Executive became eligible for certain benefits upon termination of employment.  Executive’s last day of employment will be January 16, 2014 (the “effective date of termination”).
2.    Equity Awards. The equity vesting and exercise periods with respect to Executive’s equity awards shall be extended from the periods originally defined in Subsections (ii) and (iii) of Paragraph 2 of Section 8.2 of the Employment Agreement as follows: (A) vesting of all equity awards scheduled to vest on or before July 16, 2014, will be accelerated and shall vest as of December 31, 2013; (B) All vested equity awards must be exercised by the earlier of (1) the one year anniversary of the effective date of termination and (2) the expiration date of the equity award.
3.    Return of Property and Documents. Executive states that Executive has returned to the Company all property and documents of the Company which were in Executive's possession or control, including without limitation access cards, Company-provided credit cards, computer equipment, and software.
4.    Nondisparagement Agreement. Executive agrees not to make any communications or engage in any conduct that is or can reasonably be construed to be disparaging of the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, products or services. The Company agrees not to make any communications or engage in any conduct that is or can reasonably be construed to be disparaging of Executive.
5.    Release of Company. Executive (for himself, his agents, heirs, successors, assigns, executors and/or administrators) does hereby and forever release and discharge the Company and its past and present parent, subsidiary and affiliated corporations, divisions or other related entities, as well as the successors, shareholders, officers, directors, heirs, predecessors, assigns, agents, employees, attorneys and representatives of each of them, past or present from any and 









all causes of action, actions, judgments, liens, debts, contracts, indebtedness, damages, losses, claims, liabilities, rights, interests and demands of whatsoever kind or character, known or unknown, suspected to exist or not suspected to exist, anticipated or not anticipated, whether or not heretofore brought before any state or federal court or before any state or federal agency or other governmental entity, which Executive has or may have against any released person or entity by reason of any and all acts, omissions, events or facts occurring or existing prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, all claims attributable to the employment of Executive, all claims attributable to the termination. of that employment, and all claims arising under any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation or ordinance or common law, such as, for example and without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age over 40, and wrongful termination claims, excepting only those obligations expressly recited to be performed hereunder and any rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, or insurance to which Executive is entitled under the Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or otherwise.
In light of the intention of Executive (for herself, his agents, heirs, successors, assigns, executors and/or administrators) that this release extend to any and all claims of whatsoever kind or character, known or unknown, Executive expressly waives any and all rights granted by California Civil Code Section 1542 or any other analogous federal or state law or regulation. Section 1542 reads as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent Executive from filing a charge with, or participating in any proceeding or investigation by, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or affiliated state agency. However, Executive acknowledges that, in accordance with this Release, he has no right to recover any monies on behalf of herself, his agents, heirs, successors, assigns, executors and/or administrators in connection with, or as a result of, such charge, investigation, or proceeding.

and all causes of action, actions, judgments, liens, debts, contracts, indebtedness, damages, losses, claims, liabilities, rights, interests and demands of whatsoever kind or character, known or unknown, suspected to exist or not suspected to exist, anticipated or not anticipated, whether or not heretofore brought before any state or federal court or before any state or federal agency or other governmental entity, which the Company has or may have against any released person or entity by reason of any and all acts, omissions, events or facts occurring or existing prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, all claims attributable to the employment of Executive, all claims attributable to the termination of that employment, and all claims arising under any federal, state or other governmental statute, regulation or ordinance or common law, such as, for example and without limitation.


In light of the intention of the Company (including its past and present parent, subsidiary and affiliated corporations, divisions or other related entities, as well as the successors, shareholders, officers, directors, heirs, predecessors, assigns, agents, employees, attorneys and representatives of each of them, past or present) that this release extend to any and all claims of whatsoever kind or character, known or unknown, the Company expressly waives any and all rights granted by California Civil Code Section 1542 or any other analogous federal or state law or regulation.
