 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). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the covenants contained in this Agreement, the
Corporation and the Executive agree as follows: 
 DEFINITIONS. The following definitions apply for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (a) “Aggregate Exercise Price” means: 
 (i) in the case of options to acquire common stock of the Corporation owned by the Executive, the total amount of cash or immediately available funds the Executive would be required to pay to the Corporation to purchase all of the common
stock of the Corporation that, on the date as of which the Aggregate Exercise Price is to be determined, the Executive is entitled to purchase under the terms of all issued, outstanding and unexercised options to purchase common 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 
 (ii) in the case of options to acquire Successor Equity, the total amount of cash or immediately available funds the Executive would be required to pay to the Successor to

purchase all the Successor Equity that, on the date as of which the Aggregate Exercise Price is to be determined, the Executive is entitled to purchase under
the terms of all issued, outstanding and unexercised options to purchase 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: 
 (i) the Highest Sale Price as of the date of a Change in Control multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock of the Corporation that the Executive could acquire by exercising all of the options to acquire
common stock of the Corporation that, as of the date of the Change in Control, were issued to the 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 following conditions exist:

failure substantially to perform his duties as an executive employee of the Corporation (other than as a result of the Executive’s Disability). 
 (ii) A willful act or omission by the Executive constituting fraud or other malfeasance, including without limitation acts of dishonesty constituting a felony offense under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, and any act or
omission by the Executive constituting immoral conduct, which in any such case is injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Corporation. 
 (iii) A material breach by the Executive of the provisions of his agreement with the Corporation relating to confidentiality and proprietary information and trade secrets. 
 For purposes of this definition, an act or failure to act will be deemed “willful” only if it is effected by the Executive not in good faith and without a
reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in or not opposed to the Corporation’s best interests. 
 (e) “Change in
Control” means any one of the following occurrences: 
 (i) Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of the dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation; 
 (ii) Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of an agreement to merge or consolidate, or otherwise
reorganize, with or into one or more entities that are not Subsidiaries or other affiliates, as a result of which less than two-thirds of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity 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); 
  

 92 








 (iii) Approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of the sale of substantially all of the
Corporation’s business and/or assets to a person or entity that is not a Subsidiary or other affiliate; or 
 (iv) Any “Person”
(as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 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 a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders, of each new Board member was approved
by a vote of at least three-quarters of the Board members then still in office who were Board members at the beginning of such period (including for these purposes, new members whose election or nomination was so approved).

the Change in Control for an 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. 
 (h) “Corporation” means Computer Task Group, Incorporated. 
 (i) “Disability” means a disability that exists for a period of at least 6 months and because of which the Executive is physically or mentally

Reason and stating the Executive’s intention to terminate employment unless the Corporation takes appropriate corrective action: 
 (i) A
material diminution in the Executive’s responsibilities, duties, role or authority within the business organization. 
 (ii) A material
reduction by the Corporation in the Executive’s annual base salary as in effect on the date of a Change in Control or as in effect thereafter if that base salary has been increased. 
  

 93

insurance, automobile, severance, vacation, leave, reimbursement, and similar benefits. 
 (iv) A material breach by the Corporation of any
provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement requiring the payment of compensation to the Executive. 
 (v) Removal from, or failure
to re-elect, the Executive to the position of Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel. 
 (vi) A requirement, in the
Executive’s reasonable judgment, that the services required to be performed by the Executive would necessitate the Executive moving his residence at least 50 miles from the Buffalo, New York area. 
 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 sale price at which common stock of the Corporation has been sold, in an established securities market, during the 12 consecutive month period ending on the date
as of which the Highest Sale Price of the common stock of the Corporation is to be determined; and 
 (ii) with respect to Successor Equity,

 (n) “Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned
directly or indirectly by the Corporation.

result of a Change in Control, has succeeded, directly or indirectly, to all or substantially all the assets, rights, properties, liabilities and obligations of the Corporation. 
 (p) “Successor Equity” means capital stock or any other equity interest in the Successor. 
 (q) “Termination of Employment” has the meaning provided in Regulation §1.409A-1(h) (1) (ii). If the Executive provides services as
an independent contractor, the Executive will not be considered to have a Termination of Employment until the Executive has ceased providing services both as an employee and as an independent contractor. The preceding sentence shall not apply with
respect to nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which the Executive participates as an employee to the extent that the Executive’s sole activity as an independent contractor with respect to the Corporation is to serve on the
Corporation’s Board of Directors.

 BENEFITS UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Corporation will provide the benefits listed below in Sections 0(a)
and 0(b) on a Change in Control. All amounts payable on a Change in Control under all subsections of this Section will be made by bank check or wire transfer at the Change in Control, or, if that is not within the control of the Corporation, not
later than the tenth business day 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 Corporation’s Stock Employee Compensation Trusts. 
 (a) STOCK RIGHTS. As of the date of the Change in Control,
the Executive will become fully vested in, and entitled to exercise immediately all stock-related awards he has been granted under any plans or agreements of the Corporation, including without limitation, awards under the 1991 Stock Option Plan and
the 2000 Equity Award Plan, other than any stock-related award that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and 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 provision in the 2000 Equity Award Plan or any other plan or agreement that would prevent the acceleration and vesting of the awards or cause them to be canceled, rescinded or
otherwise impaired. 
 (b) DEFERRED COMPENSATION. All deferred or otherwise contingent compensation of the Executive will become
(i) vested and (ii) immediately payable in cash provided, however, that any such compensation that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the Regulations 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 determined only by substituting 70% for 50% in
that Section 0(e) (ii). 
 BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION. The Corporation will provide the benefits listed below in Sections 0(a) through
(f) on the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Corporation for any reason other than Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (“Involuntary Termination”) in either case within 6 months before a Change in Control or
within 24 months after a Change in Control. For purposes of this Section, references to payments by the Corporation include payments from any entity related to the Corporation, such as the Stock Employee Compensation Trusts. Also, references to
payments by the Successor include payments from the Corporation’s Stock Employee Compensation Trusts if those trusts are permitted to make the payments. 
 (a) SALARY. The Executive will receive two (2) times his or her full rate of salary, (whether or not deferred) on the date immediately prior to the Change in Control or, if greater, the amount in effect at any
date after the Change in Control.

payable (whether or not deferred) to him or her in the 3 calendar years preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs. 
 (c)
FRINGE BENEFITS. The Executive will receive a lump sum payment equal to 25% 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. 
  

 95 








 (d) INDEMNIFICATION. For a 60-month period following the date of the Executive’s termination of
employment, the Corporation will continue any indemnification agreement with the Executive and will provide directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring the Executive that coverage will have limits and scope of coverage not less
than that in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. 
 (e) CASH-OUT OF STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER EQUITY-RELATED COMPENSATION.

in Control (the “Determination Date”), unexercised options to purchase common stock of the Corporation, the options shall be cancelled, and the Executive shall receive a lump sum amount equal to: 
 (A) the Highest Sale Price of the common stock of the Corporation determined as of the Determination Date; MULTIPLIED BY 
 (B) the aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Corporation the Executive is entitled to purchase pursuant to the terms of all unexercised
options to purchase any common stock of the Corporation owned by the Executive on the Determination Date; MINUS 
 (C) the Aggregate Exercise
Price of the issued and outstanding unexercised 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 receive a lump sum amount equal to: 
 (A) the Highest Sale Price, determined as of the Determination Date, of each unit of
Successor Equity that could be acquired by the Executive on the exercise of all outstanding Conversion Options; MULTIPLIED BY 
 (B) the
aggregate number of units of Successor Equity the Executive is entitled to purchase pursuant to the terms of all Conversion Options owned by the Executive and exercisable on the Determination Date; MINUS 
 (C) the Aggregate Exercise Price of the issued and outstanding unexercised Conversion Options. 
 (f) TIME OF PAYMENT. Payments under subsections (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 0 shall be made on the day following the six month
anniversary of the Executive’s Termination of Employment. 
 (g) ESTABLISHMENT OF RABBI TRUST. On or before the date of a Change in
Control or, if later, on or before the date of the Executive’s Termination of Employment, the Corporation shall transfer cash and/or liquid assets having a value equal to the amounts that will become payable to the Executive under subsection
(a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 0 to an irrevocable grantor 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 will become payable to the Executive under subsections (a), (b), (c) and (e) of 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. 
 SUCCESSORS. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and may not be assigned 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 

  

 97 








 
hereunder or setoff or counterclaim against any such amount for any reason 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. 
 NOTICE. All written communications to parties required hereunder must be in
writing and (a) delivered in person, (b) mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (such mailed notice to be effective 4 days after the date it is mailed) or (c) sent by facsimile transmission, with

not give notice, at least 36 months remain in the Agreement. 
 (b) This Agreement will terminate when the Corporation has made the last
payment provided for under it, including without limitation, any payments payable at any time under Sections 0 and 0. However, the indemnification obligations under Section 0(d) will survive any termination and will remain in full force and effect
for the period specified. 
 RULE GOVERNING PAYMENT DATES. In any case where this Agreement requires the payment of an amount during a period
of two or more days that overlaps two calendar years, the payee shall have no right to determine the calendar year in which payment actually occurs. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this restatement of the Agreement on the              day of
            , to be effective January 1, 2009.
