Re: Ciber, Inc.
Dear ______________:

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors of Ciber, Inc. (the "Company") in connection with the proxy solicitation that Lone Star Value Co-Invest, LP and its affiliates (collectively, the "LSV Group") is considering undertaking to nominate and elect directors at the Company's 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the "13D Group Solicitation").  Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to the Company and all of its stockholders.  This letter ("Agreement") will set forth the terms of our agreement.
AMERI Holdings, Inc., its affiliate Ameri and Partners Inc., and any succeeding company formed therefrom (collectively, the "Ameri Companies") and the members of the LSV Group agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all claims of any nature, whenever brought, arising from a 13D Group Solicitation and any related transactions, irrespective of the outcome; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to indemnification for claims arising from your bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material violations of law, criminal actions or material breach of the terms of this agreement; provided further, that upon your becoming a director of the Company, this indemnification shall not apply to any claims made against you in your capacity as a director of the Company and is limited to any claims or losses in connection with your service as a nominee. The undersigned agrees that any indemnification shall first be sought from the Ameri Companies, and, only to the extent the undersigned is unable to obtain full indemnification from the Ameri Companies, the undersigned shall seek indemnification from the LSV Group pursuant to this Agreement. This indemnification will include any and all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without reasonable attorneys' fees, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitration action, or any claim, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation asserted against, resulting, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by you, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from any 13D Group Solicitation and any related transactions (each, a "Loss").

In the event of a claim against you pursuant to the prior paragraph or the occurrence of a Loss, you shall give the Ameri Companies and the LSV Group prompt written notice of such claim or Loss (provided that failure to promptly notify the Ameri Companies and the LSV Group shall not relieve us from any liability which we may have on account of this Agreement, except to the extent we shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure). Upon receipt of such written notice, the Ameri Companies in consultation with the LSV Group will provide you with counsel to represent you.  Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to you. The Ameri Companies and the LSV Group may not enter into any settlement of loss or claim brought directly against you without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such loss or claim.

You and the Ameri Companies and the LSV Group agree to act under an objective duty of good faith and fair dealing.
You hereby agree to keep confidential and not disclose to any party, without the consent of the LSV Group, any confidential, proprietary or non-public information (collectively, "Information") of the LSV Group, its affiliates, any members of any group formed by the LSV Group or the Ameri Companies pursuant to Rule 13d- 1(k)(1)(iii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Schedule 13D Group") which you have heretofore obtained or may obtain in connection with your service as a nominee hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Information shall not include any information that is publicly disclosed by the LSV Group, its affiliates, any members of any Schedule 13D Group, the Ameri Companies, or any information that you can demonstrate is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on your part, otherwise generally known to the public.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process to disclose any Information you may do so provided that you first promptly notify the Ameri Companies and the LSV Group so that the Ameri Companies, the LSV Group, or any member thereof may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in the LSV Group's sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained or the LSV Group does not waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, you may consult with counsel at the cost of the Ameri Companies and you may furnish only that portion of the Information which you are advised by counsel is legally required to be so disclosed and you will request that the party(ies) receiving such Information maintain it as confidential.
All Information, all copies thereof, and any studies, notes, records, analysis, compilations or other documents prepared by you containing such Information, shall be and remain the property of the LSV Group and, upon the request of a representative of the LSV Group, all such information shall be returned or, at the LSV Group's option, destroyed by you, with such destruction confirmed by you to the LSV Group in writing.

This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.
