Langhorne, Pa 19047 

February 4,
2002 

Dear
Tom, 

        This
letter will serve as confirmation regarding the details of your relocation from Langbourne, Pa to Schaumburg, IL. 

Relocation Benefits  

        Based on current needs, the standard Motorola relocation package will be delayed until such time as you wish to implement it. 

        Until
that time, a check, in the amount of $7400, will be issued on a monthly basis, to cover living expenses. The payments will be provided for two years, effective January 2002
and ending December 2003. Per your request, you will assume the tax responsibility on these payments. Therefore, appropriate taxes will be withheld from these payments. 

        Within
the two-year period, you may elect to initiate Motorola's Relocation package, including Home Sale and Home Purchase benefits. Upon completion of your relocation,
Motorola will pay your relocation expenses, less any previously paid amounts. Any responsibility for the 12 Oaks Apartment secured on your behalf will be your responsibility as of
February 2002. 

Tax Impact  

        The monthly relocation checks will not be grossed up. The balance of your relocation benefits will include tax gross up where appropriate according to policy. 

GAC Contact  

        The Global Assignment Center (GAC) will assist you during the relocation process, including processing the monthly checks. Susan Kubiesa will be your GAC contact.
She may be reached by phone at 847-538-2987, Sky Te12 pager, PIN 1192802, or email s.kubiesa@motorola.com.

Exhibit 10.18    
  

 
 

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT    
  

        THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of February            , 2003, is made by and between CIBER, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and            (the
"Executive"). 

        WHEREAS,
the Company considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of key management personnel; and 

        WHEREAS,
the Board recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and
questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and 

        WHEREAS,
the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company's management,
including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control; 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Defined Terms.    The definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement are provided in the last Section
hereof. 

        2.    Term of Agreement.    The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect
through December 31, 2005; provided, however, that commencing on January 1, 2006
and each January 1 thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than September 30 of the preceding year, the Company or the Executive shall have given
notice not to extend the Term; and further provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the Term, the Term shall expire on the date which is twenty-four (24) months
immediately following the date on which such Change in Control occurred. 

        3.    Company's Covenants Summarized.    In order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the Company and
in consideration of the Executive's covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees, under the conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the Severance Payments and the other
payments and benefits described herein. Except as provided in Section 9.1 hereof, no Severance Payments shall be payable under this Agreement unless there shall have been a termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company under the circumstances described herein within the two year period immediately following a Change in Control that occurs during the Term. This Agreement shall
not be construed as creating an express or implied contract of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the Executive shall not have any right to be
retained in the employ of the Company. 

        4.    The Executive's Covenants.    The Executive agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
in the event of a Potential Change in Control during the Term, the Executive will remain in the employ of the Company until the earliest of (i) a date which is six (6) months from the date of
such Potential Change in Control, (ii) the date of a Change in Control, (iii) the date of termination by the Executive of the Executive's employment for Good Reason or by reason of
death, Disability or Retirement, or (iv) the termination by the Company of the Executive's employment for any reason. 

        5.    Compensation Other Than Severance Payments.    

        5.1.  If
the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive's full salary to
the Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, the rate in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, together
with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the Company's compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect

  
immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. 

        5.2.  If
the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the
Executive's normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the
Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as
in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. 

        6.    Severance Payments.    

        6.1.  If
the Executive's employment is terminated within the two year period immediately following a Change in Control that occurs during the Term, other than (A) by
the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, then, subject to Section 6.5, the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts,
and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 ("Severance Payments") and Section 6.2, in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section
5 hereof. 

        (A)  In
lieu of any further salary payments to the Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination and in lieu of any severance benefit otherwise payable to the
Executive, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to [            times] the
sum of (i) the Executive's base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance
constituting Good Reason, (ii) the target annual incentive compensation in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if higher, in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence
of event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, and (iii) the value of the contributions or the allocations made, as applicable, on behalf of the Executive to any Pension Plan in respect of
the fiscal year ending immediately prior to the fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination or, if higher, immediately prior to the fiscal year in which occurs the first event or circumstance
constituting Good Reason. 

        (B)  For
the thirty-six (36) month period immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents
(a) life, death, accident and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more
favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater cost after
tax to the Executive than the after tax cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence; and (b) other perquisites, including, without limitation, financial counseling and
tax planning services by a company providing such services, to the same extent as if the Executive had continued to be employed by the Company during such period. Benefits otherwise receivable by the
Executive pursuant to this Section 6.1(B)(a) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the Executive during the thirty-six month period
following the Executive's termination of employment (and any such benefits received by or made available to the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive); provided, however, that
the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the
Executive, the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason. 

        (C)  The
Company shall provide the Executive with outplacement services suitable to the Executive's position for a period of one year commencing on the date the Executive
first uses such outplacement services.

 

        6.2.  

        (A)  Whether
or not the Executive becomes entitled to the Severance Payments, if any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive in connection
with a Change in Control or the Executive's termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any Person whose
actions result in a Change in Control or any Person affiliated with the Company or such Person) (all such payments and benefits, excluding the Gross-Up Payment, being hereinafter referred to as the
"Total Payments") will be subject to the Excise Tax, the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after
deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, and after taking into account the phase out of
itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments. 

        (B)  For
purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments
shall be treated as "parachute payments" (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) unless, in the opinion of tax counsel ("Tax Counsel") reasonably acceptable to the Executive and
selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in Control, the Company's independent auditor (the "Auditor"), such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not
constitute parachute payments, including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall be
treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel, such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered
(within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code) in excess of the Base Amount allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the
value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code. For purposes of
determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence on the Date of Termination (or if there
is no Date of Termination, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of this Section 6.2), net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained
from deduction of such state and local taxes. 

        (C)  In
the event that the Excise Tax is finally determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall
repay to the Company, within five (5) business days following the time that the amount of such reduction in the Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to
such reduction (plus that portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the
Executive), to the extent that such repayment results in a reduction in the Excise Tax and a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Executive's taxable income and wages for purposes of federal, state and
local income and employment taxes, plus interest on the amount of such repayment at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to
exceed the amount taken into account hereunder in calculating the Gross-Up Payment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up
Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such excess) within five
(5) business days following the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably

  
cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments. 

        6.3.  The
payments provided in subsection (A) of Section 6.1 hereof and in Section 6.2 hereof shall be made not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination (or
if there is no Date of Termination, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment is calculated for purposes of Section 6.2 hereof); provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be
finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to the Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company or, in the case of payments under Section 6.2
hereof, in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Executive is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest on
the unpaid remainder (or on all such payments to the extent the Company fails to make such payments when due) at 120% of the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount
thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently
determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Executive, payable on the fifth (5th) business day after demand by the Company (together with interest at 120% of
the rate provided in section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code). Within fifteen (15) days prior to the time that payments are made under this Agreement, Tax Counsel shall provide the Company and the Executive
with a written statement setting forth the manner in which such payments were calculated and the basis for such calculations. 

        6.4.  The
Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive (i) in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to
the termination of the Executive's employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement, provided that the Executive prevails in any material
dispute, or (ii) in connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder. Such
payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive's written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company
reasonably may require. 

        6.5.  Notwithstanding
anything contained herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive the Severance Payments or any other payment or benefit hereunder unless he or
she first executes a written release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and such release has become effective. 

        7.    Termination Procedures and Compensation During Dispute.    

        7.1.    Notice of Termination.    After a Change in Control and during the Term, any purported termination of the
Executive's employment (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from one party hereto to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10 hereof. For
purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is required to include
a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three quarters (3/4) of the entire membership of the Committee at a meeting of the Committee which was called and held for
the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before the Committee)
finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Committee, the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause herein, and specifying the particulars thereof
in detail. 

        7.2.    Date of Termination.    "Date of Termination," with respect to any purported termination of the Executive's
employment after a Change in Control and during the Term, shall mean (i) if

  
the Executive's employment is terminated for Disability, fifteen (15) days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of
the Executive's duties during such fifteen (15) day period), and (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which,
in the case of a termination by the Company, shall not be less than fifteen (15) days (except in the case of a termination for Cause) and, in the case of a termination by the Executive, shall not be
less than fifteen (15) days nor more than thirty (30) days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is given). 

        8.    No Mitigation.    The Company agrees that, if the Executive's employment with the Company terminates during the
Term, the Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Further, except as
specifically provided in this Section 8 and Section 6.1(B) hereof, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive
as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company, or otherwise. 

        9.    Successors; Binding Agreement.    

        9.1.  In
addition to any obligations imposed by law upon any successor to the Company, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement upon or prior to the effectiveness of any
such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate his employment with the Company and receive compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the
same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder if the Executive were to terminate the Executive's employment for Good Reason after a Change in Control, except that, for purposes of
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. 

        9.2.  This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive shall die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder (other than amounts which, by their terms, terminate upon the death
of the Executive) if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the executors, personal
representatives or administrators of the Executive's estate. 

        10.    Notices.    For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the
Executive, to the address inserted below the Executive's signature on the final page hereof and, if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or to such other address as either party may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt:

the Company:

        11.    Miscellaneous.    No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver,
modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and any authorized officer of the Company. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party
hereto of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement supersedes any other agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, including without limitation, any
existing employment agreement between the Company and Executive, which have been made by either party, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the matter of payments, benefits or other
compensation which may be due to the Executive under certain circumstances following a Change of Control. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Colorado. All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections. Any payments provided for
hereunder shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law and any additional withholding to which the Executive has agreed. The obligations of the Company
and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term (including, without limitation, those under Sections 6 and
7 hereof) shall survive such expiration. 

        12.    Validity.    The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

        13.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

        14.    Settlement of Disputes.    All claims by the Executive for benefits under this Agreement shall be directed to
and determined by the Committee and shall be in writing. Any denial by the Committee of a claim for benefits under this Agreement shall be delivered to the Executive in writing and shall set forth the
specific reasons for the denial and the specific provisions of this Agreement relied upon. The Committee shall afford a reasonable opportunity to the Executive for a review of the decision denying a
claim and shall further allow the Executive to appeal to the Committee a decision of the Committee within sixty (60) days after notification by the Committee that the Executive's claim has been
denied. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of any dispute, any decision by the Committee hereunder shall be subject to a de novo review by a court or, if the Executive is a party to an
arbitration agreement with the Company, by an arbitrator. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the
Executive's right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. 

        15.    Definitions.    For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below: 

        (A)  "Affiliate"
shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. 

        (B)  "Auditor"
shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.2 hereof. 

        (C)  "Base
Amount" shall have the meaning set forth in section 280G(b)(3) of the Code. 

        (D)  "Beneficial
Owner" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. 

        (E)  "Board"
shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 

        (F)  "Cause"
for termination by the Company of the Executive's employment shall mean (i) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform
the Executive's duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to

  
physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason by the Executive pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof) that has not been
cured within 30 days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Committee, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Committee believes
that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive's duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company
and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this definition, (x) no act, or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be
deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive's act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the
Company and (y) in the event of a dispute concerning the application of this provision, no claim by the Company that Cause exists shall be given effect unless the Company establishes to the
Committee by clear and convincing evidence that Cause exists. 

        (G)  A
"Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if the event set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred: 

        (I)  any

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions

ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

any Person directly from the Company shall not be included in the securities beneficially owned by such Person.
