CIBER, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements of CIBER, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared without audit. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Interim results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

        Income Taxes.    We record interim-period income tax expense based on management's best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year.

        New Accounting Pronouncements.    In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and specifies the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are reviewed annually (or more frequently as impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separate intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The non-amortization and amortization provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, we have adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of these accounting standards has resulted in a reduction of our amortization of intangible assets beginning January 1, 2002.

        Notes receivable from officers.    Included in other assets at March 31, 2002 are notes receivable from officers of $1,396,000.

(2) Earnings per share

        The computation of earnings per share—basic and diluted is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 
  Three months ended
March 31,

 
  2001
  2002
Numerator:            
  Net income   $ 1,565   $ 1,607
   
 
Denominator:            
  Basic weighted average shares outstanding     57,265     60,589
  Dilutive effect of employee stock options     433     1,135
   
 
  Diluted weighted average shares outstanding     57,698     61,724
   
 

Earnings per share—basic

 

$

0.03

 

$

0.03
Earnings per share—diluted   $ 0.03   $ 0.03

        Dilutive securities are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an antidilutive effect. As a result, earnings (loss) per share—diluted is the same as earnings (loss) per share—basic when CIBER reports a net loss. The number of antidilutive stock options (options whose exercise price is greater than the average CIBER stock price during the period) omitted from the computation of weighted average shares—diluted was 4,235,010 and 2,526,333 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

(3) Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Adoption of SFAS No. 142

        Intangible assets consist of goodwill and noncompete agreements. Effective January 1, 2002 goodwill is no longer amortized. Noncompete agreements are amortized over the terms of the contracts, which range from one to three years. Amortization is recorded using the straight-line method. The following table represents the effect on net income and earnings per share of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 (in thousands, except per share amounts).

  Goodwill amortization, net of tax     0.03    
   
 
  Adjusted net income   $ 0.06   $ 0.03
   
 

(4) Comprehensive Income

        Comprehensive income includes net income plus changes in net unrealized gain/loss on available for sale investments and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Comprehensive income was $636,000 and $1,274,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

(5) Revolving Line of Credit

        Bank Line of Credit—On May 6, 2002 we amended our line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Under the amended agreement the maximum available borrowing was increased from $35 million to $60 million. The maximum available borrowing under this line of credit is automatically reduced to $52.5 million on September 30, 2002, and reduced further at the end of each calendar quarter thereafter by $2.5 million. The line of credit expires September 30, 2004. Borrowings bear interest based on the bank's prime rate and ranges from prime minus 0.20% to prime less 0.70%, depending on our ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At March 31, 2002, the bank's prime rate was 4.75% and our rate on borrowing was 4.30%. We are also required to pay a fee of 0.125% per annum on the unused portion of the line of credit. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets. The terms of the credit agreement contain, among other provisions, certain financial covenants including minimum interest coverage and minimum tangible net worth, as well as specific limitations on additional indebtedness, liens and merger activity and prohibits the payment of any dividends.

(6) Subsequent events

        Acquisition of Decision Consultants, Inc.—On April 30, 2002, we acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Decision Consultants, Inc. ("DCI"). The total consideration paid was approximately $50.2 million, consisting of $40 million in cash, 1,104,972 shares of CIBER common stock valued at $8.7 million and a $1.5 million unsecured promissory note. We used a combination of cash on hand (including the proceeds from the sale of stock on April 29, 2002) and borrowings under our line of credit for the cash consideration. The $1.5 million Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note payable to DCI accrues interest at 13.5% per annum and is due in full on January 1, 2003. The value of the CIBER shares issued was based on the average closing price of the CIBER stock over the two-day period before and after, April 8, 2002, the date the acquisition were announced. DCI, based in Detroit, MI, provided IT consulting services similar to CIBER.

        Sale of Stock—On April 29, 2002, we entered into Stock Purchase Agreements to sell 2,459,016 shares of CIBER common stock at $6.10 per share, in a private placement offering. We received aggregate proceeds of approximately $14.1 million, net of expenses, which was used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the DCI acquisition.

(7) Segment Information

        We manage our operations based on our legal operating entities that are differentiated by products and services offered. We have two reportable segments, Custom Solutions and Package Solutions. The Custom Solutions segment primarily includes our CIBER custom branch offices and our CIBER Solution Partners European operations. Our Custom Solutions segment provides IT project solutions and IT staffing in custom-developed software environments. Our Package Solutions segment is comprised primarily of our CIBER Enterprise Solutions Division and our subsidiary DigiTerra, Inc. Package Solutions provides enterprise software implementation services including enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management customer relationship management software from software vendors such as J.D. Edwards, Lawson, PeopleSoft, Oracle and SAP, among others. We evaluate each segment based on operating income before amortization of intangible assets and other charges. The following presents financial information about our segments (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. With the exception of historical matters and statements of current status, certain matters discussed below are forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from targets or projected results. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, growth through business combinations and internal expansion, the ability to attract and retain qualified consultants, dependence on significant relationships and the absence of long-term contracts, management of a rapidly changing business, project risks, competition, internet growth and usage, international expansion, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results, and price volatility. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to predict or control. Please refer to a discussion of these factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 under the caption "Factors That May Affect Future Results." We disclaim any intent or obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as an indication of future performance.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001

        Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased 8% to $134.5 million from $145.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Consulting service revenues decreased 8% and other revenues, primarily sales of computer hardware products, decreased to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $7.0 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to a decrease in billable headcount, a small decrease in average billing rates, and lower utilization in our Package Solutions segment. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2002 decreased 7% from the fourth quarter of 2001.

        The gross margin percentage on consulting services decreased to 27.3% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from 30.4% of revenues for the same quarter of last year. Custom Solutions gross margin on consulting services declined to 27.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 28.9% in 2001. Package Solutions consulting gross margin declined to 24.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 35.4% in 2001. In the case of our Custom Solutions segment, this decrease is due to a slight decrease in utilization. In our Package Solutions segment, the decrease in gross margin percentage is a function primarily of lower utilization and also slightly lower billing rates. Gross margin percentage on other revenues increased to 47.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 35.4% in 2001 primarily due to an increase in hardware/software commission revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased to $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $39.2 million for the same period last year, as we have made efforts to better align our SG&A costs with our current revenue levels. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased to 26.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 26.9% in 2001.

        Income from operations before amortization and other charges (which is how we internally measure our operations) decreased to $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $5.6 million for the same quarter of last year. This decrease is primarily due to decreased profitability in our Custom Solutions segment.

        Amortization of intangible assets decreased to $182,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $3.0 million for the same quarter last year. Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, we no longer amortize goodwill.

        Net other income (expense), including interest income, interest expense and other income, decreased to ($180,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $135,000 for the same quarter last year. Fluctuations in interest income and expense are based on average balances invested or borrowed under our line of credit during the period. Since we borrowed under our line of credit in October 2001 to complete an acquisition, interest expense has increased and interest income has decreased.

        Our effective tax rate was 39.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to 41.8% for the same period of last year. Our effective tax rate has decreased in 2002 from prior years, as we no longer amortize goodwill (including goodwill that is not deductible for income tax purposes) due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

        Our net income remained consistent at $1.6 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        At March 31, 2002, CIBER had $106.3 million of working capital and had a current ratio of 3.4:1. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our operating cash flow and our available line of credit will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs through at least the next year. There were outstanding borrowings of $16.2 million under our long-term revolving line of credit at March 31, 2002. This credit facility expires September 30, 2004.

        Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $2.3 million and ($1.4 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which is primarily reflective of the reduction in accounts receivable as a result of improved collection efforts during the three months ended March 31, 2002. CIBER's accounts receivable totaled $126.7 million at March 31, 2002 compared to $135.3 million at December 31, 2001. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 86 days at March 31, 2002 as compared to 82 days at December 31, 2002.

        Net cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million and $9.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. CIBER used cash of $1.3 million and $7.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for acquisitions. Cash paid for acquisitions in 2002 relates to additional payments for previous year acquisitions. We purchased property and equipment of $655,000 and $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Purchases of property and equipment have decreased because of the significant number of assets acquired through recent acquisitions, and our effort to reduce spending in this area.

        Net cash used in financing activities was $452,000 and $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We obtained net cash proceeds from sales of common stock to employees (including the exercise of stock options) of $2.1 million and $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We purchased treasury stock for $100,000 and $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, we reduced the outstanding borrowings under our line of credit by $2.4 million.

        We have a reducing revolving bank line of credit. The maximum available borrowing was $35 million at March 31, 2002. This Loan and Security Agreement was amended on May 6, 2002 to increase the maximum available borrowing to $60 million. Under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, the maximum available borrowing under this line of credit is automatically reduced to $52.5 million on September 30, 2002 and at the end of each subsequent calendar quarter, the maximum available borrowing is further reduced by $2.5 million. The line of credit expires September 30, 2004. Borrowings bear interest based on the bank's prime rate and ranges from prime minus 0.20% to prime less 0.70%, depending on our ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At March 31, 2002, the bank's prime rate was 4.75% and our rate on borrowing was 4.30%. We are also required to pay a fee of 0.125% per annum on the unused portion of the line of credit. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets. The terms of the credit agreement contain, among other provisions, certain financial covenants including minimum interest coverage and minimum tangible net worth, as well as specific limitations on additional indebtedness, liens and merger activity and prohibits the payment of any dividends.

        On April 30, 2002, we acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Decision Consultants, Inc. ("DCI"). The total consideration paid was approximately $50.2 million, consisting of $40 million in cash, 1,104,972 shares of CIBER common stock valued at $8.7 million and a $1.5 million unsecured promissory note. We used a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our line of credit for the cash consideration. The $1.5 million unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note payable to DCI accrues interest at 13.5% per annum, and is due in full on January 1, 2003. Following the acquisition, we paid off DCI's existing bank indebtness of approximately $12 million, using proceeds from our line of credit.

        On April 29, 2002, we entered into Stock Purchase Agreements to sell 2,459,016 shares of CIBER common stock at $6.10 per share, in a private placement offering. These agreements were entered into with qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from regulations pursuant to the exemptions provided in section 4 (2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act. We received aggregate proceeds of approximately $14.1 million, net of expenses, which was used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the DCI acquisition.

        2.3    Consideration.    The consideration (the "Initial Consideration") payable to Seller for the Assets shall be (i) $39,950,000 payable in cash (the "Cash Consideration"); (ii) $10,000,000 (the "Share Consideration") payable in that number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of CIBER Common Stock that equals $10,000,000 divided by the CIBER Closing Stock Price (the "Shares"); and (iii) $1,500,000 payable in the form of an unsecured subordinated promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Promissory Note"). All of the Shares to be delivered to DCI shall be represented by shares of CIBER Common Stock that have been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement and listed for trading on the NYSE and shall be transferable only in accordance with Section 5.1(k) and subject to compliance with SEC Rule 145. All Shares delivered hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, split-up, or stock dividend made, declared or effective with respect to the CIBER Common Stock between the date of this Agreement and the Closing. No fractional shares of CIBER Common Stock shall be issued to Seller hereunder. Any fractional share to which Seller would otherwise be entitled shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

        2.4    Additional Consideration.    

            (a)    Net Worth Calculation.    The parties shall prepare and deliver to CIBER, by May 20, 2002, a balance sheet of Seller prepared consistent with Seller's standard month-end closing procedures and dated as of the Effective Date (the "Final Effective Date Balance Sheet"); provided that the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet shall not include the Excluded Assets nor any obligations or liabilities of Seller not being assumed by CIBER hereunder. The parties agree and acknowledge that the preparation of the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet will be completed by individuals designated jointly by Seller and CIBER some of whom may then be employed by CIBER. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.4, the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet shall fairly present the financial position of Seller as of the Effective Date in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and shall comply with the representations set forth in the last three sentences of Section 3.4. The "Additional Cash Consideration" shall be an amount equal to (i) $1,000,000 (the "Maximum Additional Cash Consideration") minus (ii) the Net Worth Deficiency. "Net Worth Deficiency" means the amount equal to $1,000,000 minus the amount of the Effective Date Net Worth. Accordingly, if the net worth of Seller (not including for purposes of such determination the items listed in Schedule 2.4, the Excluded Assets, or any obligations or liabilities of Seller not being assumed by CIBER hereunder) (the "Effective Date Net Worth") on the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet (or the Certified Balance Sheet, if applicable) (x) is less than $1,000,000, then the Maximum Additional Cash Consideration due and payable to Seller shall be reduced by the amount of the Net Worth Deficiency; or (y) is less than $0, then Seller shall be required to pay CIBER such deficiency in cash.

            (b)    Dispute Resolution.    If CIBER disagrees with the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet, CIBER may, within ten (10) business days after delivery of the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet by Seller, deliver a notice to Seller stating such disagreement. Any such notice of disagreement shall specify those items or amounts as to which CIBER disagrees. If such a notice of disagreement is delivered, the parties shall use their best efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts within five (5) business days. If within five (5) business days following delivery of the notice of disagreement, the parties have not reached agreement, either party may submit the matter to a nationally recognized accounting firm, other than one that regularly represents either party, for review and resolution, with instructions to complete the review as promptly as practicable and to prepare a balance sheet within thirty (30) days in accordance with the procedures set forth in the preceding paragraph (the "Certified Balance Sheet"). The Certified Balance Sheet prepared by such accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The costs of such review by the accounting firm shall be borne by the non-prevailing party in any such disagreement. Upon delivery of the Certified Balance Sheet, the Net Worth Deficiency and the Additional Cash Consideration shall be recalculated in accordance with the preceding paragraph.

            (c)    Payment Date.    CIBER shall pay the Additional Cash Consideration in cash, without setoff, within fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet by Seller unless CIBER shall have delivered to Seller a notice (under the preceding paragraph) of CIBER's disagreement within such period. If CIBER shall have delivered such notice, then the Additional Consideration shall be paid to Seller within ten (10) business days after delivery of the Certified Balance Sheet. In the event that Seller is required to pay CIBER any deficiency under Section 2.4(a), then Seller shall pay such amount to CIBER within fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet or ten (10) business days after delivery of the Certified Balance Sheet, as applicable. All amounts due under this Section 2.4 which are not timely paid shall accrue interest at an annual rate of 8%. Any dispute arising out of a party's failure to pay an amount due under this Section 2.4 (and not out of a disagreement relating to the Final Effective Date Balance Sheet, which disagreements shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.4(b)) shall be resolved in the manner provided in Section 9.13 hereof.

        2.5    Allocation of Purchase Price.    The parties agree that the purchase price paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among the Assets pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code, in accordance with Schedule 2.5 attached hereto to which CIBER and Seller have agreed. Seller and CIBER agree to report the federal, state and local income and other tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby, and in particular to report the information required by Section 1060(b) of the Code, in a manner consistent with the agreed upon allocation, and to file all other applicable tax returns and forms to reflect such purchase price allocation. Within 180 days following the Closing Date, CIBER and Seller shall have agreed as to the content of the IRS Form 8594 to be filed by each of them with their next income tax returns, and neither of them will take any position inconsistent therewith (except to correct any error) upon examination of any tax return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, investigation or otherwise.

        2.6    Revenues.    From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly forward to CIBER all collections of any revenues derived from CIBER's performance after the Closing Date of information technology consulting or other services under any Contracts, including any thereof the assignment of which to CIBER shall not have been fully accomplished at Closing.

        2.7    Closing.    Subject to the provisions of Articles VII and VIII, the closing (the "Closing") of the purchase of the Assets and the assumption of the Liabilities hereunder shall take place at the offices of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP, 370 Interlocken Boulevard, Suite 500, Broomfield, Colorado 80021, on May     , 2002, or at such other date or time as CIBER and Seller may agree (the "Closing Date").

The parties hereto will not take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the termination of any waiting period or the receipt of any required approvals of a Government Entity. Without limiting the generality of the parties' undertakings pursuant to this Section 2.9, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry in a judicial or administrative proceeding brought under any antitrust law by any Governmental Entity or any other party of any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order that would make consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby unlawful under appropriate anti-trust laws or that would prevent or delay such consummation as a consequence of such laws. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other of any material communication between such party and the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party or any affiliate of such party receives a request for additional information or for documents or any material from any such Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other parties, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Further, no written materials shall be submitted by any party to the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Antitrust Authority in connection with Hart-Scott-Rodino Act compliance nor shall any oral communications be initiated with such governmental entities by any party, without prior disclosure to and coordination with the other parties and its counsel. Each party hereto will cooperate in connection with reaching any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) involving the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The filing fee associated with the filings hereunder shall be borne by CIBER.

            (c)  Other than as contemplated in Section 2.9, no action by any Governmental Entity is necessary for CIBER's execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by CIBER of the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain or take such action would not reasonably be expected (i) to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) to have a CIBER Material Adverse Effect.

            (d)  Except for any action contemplated by Section 2.9, no consents, approvals, orders, registrations, declarations, filings or authorizations are required on the part of CIBER for or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by CIBER of the transactions contemplated hereby.

        4.4    Broker's or Finder's Fees.    There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary which has been retained by or authorized to act on behalf of CIBER who might be entitled to any fee or commission from Seller or the Shareholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

        4.5    SEC Reports and Financial Statements.    Since December 31, 2000, CIBER has filed all forms, reports and other documents required to be filed by CIBER with the SEC. As of their respective dates, the CIBER SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to such CIBER SEC Reports and, except to the extent that information contained in any CIBER SEC Report has been revised or superseded by a later CIBER SEC Report filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, none of the CIBER SEC Reports contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of CIBER included in the CIBER SEC Reports complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and presented fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of CIBER and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the CIBER SEC Reports, neither CIBER nor any of the CIBER Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by generally accepted accounting principles to be set forth on a consolidated balance sheet of CIBER and its consolidated subsidiaries or in the notes thereto and which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a CIBER Material Adverse Effect. None of the CIBER Subsidiaries is required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the SEC pursuant to Sections 12 or 15 of the Exchange Act.

        4.6    Absence of Certain Changes.    Except as set forth in the CIBER SEC Reports filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof, since December 31, 2001 there has not been any CIBER Material Adverse Effect.

        4.7    Litigation.    Except as set forth in the CIBER SEC Reports, there is no suit, action or legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceeding or governmental investigation or review pending or, to the knowledge of CIBER, threatened, to which CIBER is, or would be, a party or by which it is or would be affected (and CIBER is not aware of any basis for any such action, suit or proceeding that has a reasonable likelihood of being brought) which, considered individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to CIBER, is reasonably likely (i) to have a CIBER Material Adverse Effect, (ii) to impair the ability of CIBER to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (iii) to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against CIBER having, or which, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen, in the future would have, any such effect.

            (f)    the Shareholder has been advised that as of the date this Agreement is submitted to a vote of the shareholders of Seller he may be deemed an "affiliate" of Seller, as that term is defined for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Shares received by the Shareholder may be sold only (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) in conformity with the volume and other applicable limitations of Rules 144 and 145 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, or (iii) in reliance upon an exemption from registration available under the Securities Act; and the Shareholder will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder;

            (g)  it is understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following legends or a combination thereof:

            (h)  it is understood that the legend on a certificate pursuant to Section 5.1(g)(i) shall be removed, and CIBER shall have a certificate issued without such legend to the holder thereof, if such legend may be properly removed under the terms of Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, and/or if the holder of the certificate provides CIBER with an opinion of counsel for such holder, reasonably satisfactory to legal counsel for CIBER (for which Buchanan Ingersoll Professional Corporation is deemed reasonably satisfactory) to the effect that a sale, transfer or assignment of such securities may be made under Rule 145, and that the legend is no longer required; it is further understood that the legend on a certificate pursuant to Section 5.1(g)(ii) shall be removed, and CIBER shall have a certificate issued without such legend to the holder thereof, if the Restricted Period has expired and the legend is no longer required;

            (i)    the Shareholder has full power and authority to execute, deliver and to perform the obligations of this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes a legally binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with its terms;

            (j)    the Shareholder is an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act; and

            (k)  for a period of ninety days following the Closing Date (the "Restricted Period"), the Shares shall be restricted such that neither Seller nor the Shareholder shall directly or indirectly (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device which is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) (together, a "Disposition") more than 150,000 Shares per thirty-day period; or (2) enter into any swap or other derivative transaction that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership (a "Swap") for more than 150,000 Shares per thirty-day period, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided however that any Shares not Disposed of or Swapped in any previous thirty-day periods shall accumulate and be available for Disposition or Swap in subsequent thirty-day periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be permitted to transfer (x) 150,000 Shares to Ed Longo and (y) any or all remaining Shares to (a) the Shareholder, (b) any trust for the Shareholder's benefit, or (b) a charity or private foundation, provided that any such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 5.1(k) (together, the "Permitted Transferees"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shares may be transferred by Seller to any shareholder of DCI other than the Shareholder.

            (c)  Seller shall promptly advise CIBER orally and in writing of any change or event having, or which would reasonably be expected to have, a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

        6.2    Confidentiality.    CIBER, on the one hand, and Seller and the Shareholder, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable law, including state and federal securities laws, rules and regulations, court process or pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange. In the event the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, the Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement executed by CIBER and Seller on February 12, 2002 shall remain in full force and effect, in accordance with its terms. Prior to the filing of this Agreement by CIBER with the SEC and other than with respect to any disclosure required in complying with Section 2.9, without the prior written consent of CIBER, neither Seller nor the Shareholder shall disclose to any person the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except as required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

        6.3    Employment Agreement.    At Closing, John A. Krasula shall enter into an employment agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Krasula Employment Agreement").

        6.4    Employee Issues.    

            (a)    Offer of Employment.    Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4, CIBER shall effective upon the Closing, offer full-time employment to those employees of Seller listed on Schedule 6.4 at levels of salaries and wages indicated thereon. CIBER shall hire all of Seller's Employees who accept such offers. Each of Seller's Employees who accepts employment with CIBER upon the Closing is hereinafter referred to as a "Transferred Employee." CIBER retains the right to terminate at its discretion any Transferred Employee after such person has accepted employment from CIBER; provided that in such event CIBER shall be responsible for any severance obligations with respect to such person. CIBER shall also be responsible for any severance obligations to, or other claims arising out of CIBER's failure to hire, any branch level employees of Seller (including, but not limited to Full Service Support Employees in Dallas, Texas) to whom CIBER does not offer full-time employment.

            (b)    Transition.    The employment of the Transferred Employees by CIBER shall commence at the close of business on the Closing Date.

            (c)    Benefits for Transferred Employees.    As of the Closing Date, CIBER shall permit each Transferred Employee who was covered under each Seller Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date to be covered under the employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements of CIBER, and shall permit such Transferred Employees to roll-over their retirement funds into CIBER's applicable benefit plans; provided that any such rollovers will be contingent upon the representations and warranties made by Seller and the Shareholder in Section 3.19 being accurate in CIBER's reasonable discretion, Seller and the Shareholder delivering a representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Plan Representation Letter") and CIBER receiving such other documentation as it deems necessary including, but not limited to, the latest determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service in conjunction with the qualification of Seller's 401(k) Plan. Transferred Employees shall continue to participate in Seller's Premium Conversion Plan (medical and Section 125 plan), which shall be assumed by CIBER as of the Effective Date and may be terminated by CIBER at any time in its sole discretion. To the extent permitted under CIBER's employee benefit plan, such plans shall recognize each Transferred Employee's length of service or, if longer, applicable service dates, with Seller for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, and waiting periods but not for purposes of benefit accruals.

            (d)  CIBER will make available a pool of non-statutory stock options to purchase 160,000 shares of common stock of CIBER to be granted to certain employees of Seller who accept employment with CIBER as of the Closing Date and execute an Employee Confidentiality and Non-solicitation Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Options to purchase such shares shall be granted at the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, pursuant to CIBER's Equity Incentive Plan. The employees who shall receive such options at the Closing Date shall be determined by CIBER and Ed Longo prior to the Closing. The exercise price of options granted pursuant to this paragraph will be the fair market value of the CIBER Common Stock on the Closing Date. The options shall vest over a period of four (4) years and shall contain such other terms no less favorable to the applicable employees than those provided by CIBER to its other employees of comparable seniority and responsibility.

            (e)  Seller and the Shareholder shall use their best efforts in the two months following the Closing Date to cause those employees of Seller who are offered employment by CIBER to accept such employment. All persons who become employees of CIBER shall be required to sign CIBER's standard form of confidentiality/invention and nonsolicitation agreement.

            (f)    CIBER shall timely discharge the stay bonus and severance obligations it has assumed hereunder with respect to Seller's corporate office employees in the manner reasonably directed by Seller.

        6.5    No Solicitation.    The Shareholder and Seller and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives shall immediately cease any existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Takeover Proposal, will not enter into any discussions with third parties regarding a Takeover Proposal and will notify CIBER promptly if Seller receives any inquiries with respect to a potential Takeover Proposal.

        6.6    Sale of Seller Shares; Dissenters' Rights.    Prior to Closing, the Shareholder shall not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the capital stock of Seller. If appraisal or dissenters' rights under the laws of the State of Michigan or otherwise are available to the Shareholder as a result of the transactions by this Agreement, the Shareholder shall not exercise and hereby waives any such contemplated rights.

        6.7    Satisfaction of Conditions.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CIBER, Seller and the Shareholder will each use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable to satisfy the conditions to the other party's obligation to consummate this Agreement. The parties each agree to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with this Agreement.

        6.8    Indemnification.    The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect for eighteen months following the Closing Date. No action or proceeding may be brought by a party against another party on the basis of a breach of a representation or warranty hereunder more than eighteen months after the Closing Date unless such party gives written notice to the other party of such breach, setting forth in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis for such claim of breach, on or before the expiration of such eighteen month period.

            (a)  Seller and the Shareholder, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify CIBER from and against any loss, cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by CIBER, including, without limitation, both third-party and direct claims (a "CIBER Loss"), arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach by any of them of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any of them contained in this Agreement; (ii) the ownership, operation or control of the Assets at or prior to the Effective Date (but exclusive of any claims to discharge the Liabilities); or (iii) any non-compliance with any applicable bulk sales or bulk transfer or similar law; provided, however, that in no event will the aggregate liability of such parties for all CIBER Losses exceed $15,000,000.

            (b)  CIBER agrees to indemnify Seller and the Shareholder from and against any loss, cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by any of them, including without limitation, both third-party and direct claims (a "Seller Loss"), arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach by CIBER of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by CIBER contained in this Agreement; or (ii) the ownership, operation or control of the Assets from and after the Effective Date (including the failure of CIBER to assume, pay, perform and discharge the Liabilities); provided, however, that in no event will the aggregate liability of such party for all Seller Losses under (i) exceed $15,000,000, except for breaches of CIBER's covenants under Sections 2.3, 2.4, 6.4(a), 6.4(c) and 6.21, to which no limitation on liability for Seller Losses shall apply.

            (c)  In the event of a breach by any party that gives rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount of any loss, cost, liability or expense for which indemnification may be sought shall be determined without regard to the amount of any materiality qualifier provided for in such representation, warranty or covenant or otherwise in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materiality qualifiers shall be considered for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred which would give rise to an indemnification obligation.

            (d)  Neither Seller and the Shareholder on one hand, nor CIBER on the other hand, shall have any liability under this Section 6.8 until the aggregate amount of claims asserted against them exceeds $250,000 at which time the indemnifying party or parties shall be liable for the full amount of the claims; provided however that this provision shall not apply to CIBER in connection with any breach by CIBER of its agreements in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.8(b), 6.4(a), 6.4(c) and 6.21 and shall not apply to Seller and the Shareholder in connection with a breach by Seller of its agreements in Sections 2.4 and 6.17.

            (e)  Any payment or indemnity required to be made pursuant to this Article IX shall include any amounts necessary to hold the Indemnified Party harmless on an after-tax basis from all Taxes required to be paid with respect to the receipt of such payment or indemnity (after taking into account any reduction in Taxes realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of the loss giving rise to the payment or indemnity). In determining the amount necessary to be added to any payment or indemnity in order to accomplish the foregoing, the parties hereto agree to treat all Taxes required to be paid by, and all reductions in Tax realized by any Indemnified Party, as if such Indemnified Party were subject to tax at the highest marginal rates (for both federal and state, as determined on a combined basis) applicable to such Indemnified Party.

            (f)    In the event that prior to the Closing, Seller or the Shareholder, on the one hand, or CIBER, on the other hand (the "Disclosing Party") discloses to the other party that it has discovered that a representation or warranty made by such Disclosing Party is false or an event or occurrence has occurred which is in violation of the covenants of such Disclosing Party under this Agreement and the other party proceeds to the Closing notwithstanding such disclosure, the other party shall be deemed to have waived any rights it may have for indemnification or damages against the Disclosing Party as a result of the disclosed discovery, event or occurrence, but only to the extent that the amount of damage resulting from or likely resulting from such breach is readily apparent in such disclosure.

            (g)  CIBER Losses or Seller Losses, respectively, shall not include indirect or consequential damages, and shall not be determined using any multiple of revenues of earnings.

            (h)  Each of CIBER, Seller and the Shareholder agree that absent fraud or other intentional misconduct, the exclusive remedy of a party from and after the Closing Date for the breach by another party of any representation, warranty, covenant or for any other obligations under this Agreement shall be to seek indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.8 and 6.9, other than as expressly contemplated under Sections 2.4 and 6.17.

        6.9    Indemnification Procedures.    

            (a)    Third Party Claims.    If a claim by a third party arises as to which CIBER is entitled to indemnification from Seller or the Shareholder hereunder or if a claim by a third party arises as to which Seller or the Shareholder are entitled to indemnification from CIBER, the party entitled to indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall endeavor to advise the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the claim within five business days after receipt of a summons, or within twenty (20) business days after receipt of other written communication giving information as to the nature of the claim, by the Indemnified Party, provided that failure to so notify shall not limit the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification under Section 6.8 unless such failure materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such third party claim and then only to such extent. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable or responsible for any expenses which are incurred by the Indemnified Party before such notice has been given to the Indemnifying Party, nor bound by any settlements made by the Indemnified Party before such notice. The Indemnifying Party shall, within the lesser of twenty (20) days after receipt of notification of the claim from the Indemnified Party or five (5) days before an answer is required to be filed, advise the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party will undertake the defense of such claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party and, if so, shall specify the name of the attorney who will handle the matter, which attorney shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and shall not have any present or potential conflict in representing the interests of both parties. If the Indemnifying Party timely notifies the Indemnified Party that it will undertake the defense of such claim and agrees that it is legally obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder and shall thereafter diligently provide such defense, such counsel shall have control of the defense, but the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense with its own counsel paid for by the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party fails timely to advise the Indemnified Party that it will undertake the defense of such claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party, fails to agree that it is legally obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder or fails diligently to pursue such defense, then the Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of such claim with its own counsel and may settle or compromise such claim in its sole discretion, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

            (b)    Direct Claims.    Any indemnifiable claim hereunder by a party hereto and that is not a claim by a third party shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by promptly delivering notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that failure to so notify shall not limit the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification under Section 6.8 unless such failure materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to remedy such claim and then only to such extent. Such notice shall in good faith summarize the bases for the claims for indemnification.

        6.10    Liquidation; Corporate Name.    Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, following the Closing, it will promptly commence its complete liquidation and subject to retention of reserves for known and contingent liabilities, distribute all of its remaining assets to its shareholders in accordance with the Michigan law and Seller's certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Seller further covenants and agrees that, it will not transfer any Shares or the Promissory Note (in whole or in part) to any shareholder other than the Shareholder in connection with its liquidation and that any distribution of assets of Seller shall be completed in accordance with Section 450.1855a of the Michigan Business Corporation Act such that all shareholders other than the Shareholder shall be paid in cash only. In addition, at Closing, Seller shall take any and all actions required to transfer all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the trade and corporate names "Decision Consultants, Inc." and "DCI" to CIBER and change its name to a name which is not confusingly similar to "Decision Consultants", "DCI" or "CIBER."

        6.11    Benefit Plans.    

            (a)  Prior to the Closing, Seller will, with respect to Seller's 401(k) Plan, (i) adopt corporate resolutions to amend the 401(k) Plan, if necessary, to permit lump sum distributions upon the sale, to an unrelated corporation, of substantially all assets used by Seller in a trade or business, (ii) adopt corporate resolutions that terminate the 401(k) Plan, and (iii) provide to CIBER satisfactory evidence of the executed corporate resolutions. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to, before the date that occurs one year after the Closing, (A) bring the 401(k) Plan into compliance as to form with all applicable laws, (B) obtain a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that the 401(k) Plan was qualified upon termination, (C) take all action necessary to ensure that the 401(k) Plan's qualified status is preserved until distribution, (D) completely distribute the 401(k) Plan, and (E) file a final IRS form 5500 for the 401(k) Plan. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall obligate CIBER to contribute to the 401(k) Plan.

            (b)  Prior to the Closing, Seller will, with respect to Seller's self-insured medical plan, (i) amend the medical plan to provide that CIBER shall become the sponsor of such medical plan as of the Effective Date, (ii) obtain the written consent of the insurance company issuing Seller's stop loss insurance policy with respect to such medical plan that such policy is assigned to CIBER as of the Effective Date, and (iii) provide to CIBER satisfactory evidence of such amendment and consent and such information necessary for CIBER to administer such plan.

            (c)  Prior to the Closing, Seller will, with respect to Seller's flexible benefits (Section 125) plan, (i) amend the flexible benefits plan to provide that CIBER shall become the sponsor of such plan as of the Effective Date, and (ii) provide to CIBER satisfactory evidence of such amendment and such information necessary for CIBER to administer such plan.

            (d)  Seller hereby covenants and agrees that within six months following the Closing Date, or sooner if required by law, Seller will, with respect to all other Benefit Plans not discussed more specifically in this Section 6.11, use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate all other Benefit Plans, and CIBER shall have no obligation under such Benefit Plans whatsoever at any time including any obligation to continue any such Benefit Plans, to make any contributions to any such Benefit Plans for the benefit of Seller employees, former employees, their spouses or their dependents. In accordance with the Code, ERISA and other applicable law, Seller shall also (i) file a final IRS Form 5500 for each Benefit Plan, if required by law, (ii) file all payroll tax returns required for the periods ended prior to and as of the Closing Date, and (iii) distribute final W-2 and 1099 forms, as applicable, for all employees and independent contractors of Seller.

        6.12    Books and Records.    

            (a)  Following the Closing Date until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, each party will afford to the other party, its counsel and its accountants, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the books, records and other data in its possession relating to Seller, the Assets or the Liabilities with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by the requesting party (i) to facilitate the investigation, litigation and final disposition of any claims which may have been or may be made against any party or its affiliates and (ii) for any other reasonable business purpose.

            (b)  Each party agrees that for a period of not less than four (4) years following the Closing Date, it shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records in its possession relating to Seller, the Assets or the Liabilities with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date. Each party shall have the right to destroy all or part of such books and records after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date or, at any earlier time, by giving each other party hereto thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such intended disposition and by offering to deliver to the other parties, at the other parties' expense, custody of such books and records as such party may intend to destroy.

            (c)  Following the Closing Date until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller, the Shareholder, and CIBER will provide each other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, and each will retain and provide the requesting party with any records or information that may be reasonably relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceedings or determination. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.12 or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or the review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential and not disclosed by the recipient thereof except (i) as required by law, (ii) with the prior written consent of the disclosing party, or (iii) where such information becomes available to the public generally.

        6.13    Consents.    If Seller shall have failed to obtain, at or prior to the Closing Date, any third-party consents required for the assignment of any of the Contracts described on Schedule 6.13, Seller and the Shareholder shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents within six months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall constitute an assignment of any claim, permit, Contract, lease, commitment, sales order or purchase order or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent of any other person would constitute a breach thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights to be assigned. Until such consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereunder would be ineffective or would affect the rights of Seller thereunder so that CIBER would not in fact receive all such rights, Seller and CIBER will cooperate with each other to provide for CIBER to receive the benefits of, and to permit CIBER to assume all liabilities under, any such claim Contract, permit, lease, commitment, sales order or purchase order, including enforcement at the request and expense of CIBER for the benefit of CIBER of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such third party. Any transfer or assignment to CIBER by Seller of any property or property rights or any contract or agreement which shall require the consent or approval of any third party shall be made subject to such consent or approval being obtained.

        6.14    Powers of Attorney.    Seller and the Shareholder shall terminate at or prior to Closing all powers of attorney granted by Seller which relate to the Assets, including without limitation, signatory capacities on bank accounts.

        6.15    Certain Payables and Receivables.    Except as set forth in Schedule 6.15, at or prior to Closing, Seller and the Shareholder shall cause to be paid in full in cash all accounts receivable, notes receivable and advances payable to Seller by the Shareholder or employees of Seller to Seller.

        6.16    Periodic Reporting.    CIBER will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file any periodic reports with the SEC in order for the conditions of Rule 144(c) be met so that the Shareholder may sell the Shares received hereunder pursuant to Rule 145(d).

        6.17    Guarantee of Receivables.    

            (a)  CIBER shall maintain a separate receivables, cash application, and management system substantially similar to Seller's for at least 180 days after the Closing Date. CIBER shall collect, at the direction of the Shareholder and in consultation therewith, the Receivables in the ordinary course of business and use all commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Receivables. CIBER shall not, without the written consent of Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) compromise or settle for less than the full value any of the Receivables. CIBER shall advise Seller or the Shareholder (promptly following CIBER's becoming aware thereof) of any counterclaims or set-offs that may arise subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to the Receivables. In the absence of any dispute by an account debtor with respect to a Receivable or an account debtor indicating that a payment should be applied to a particular invoice, all monies received from a debtor will be applied by CIBER to the Receivables in the order of the oldest Receivable first. Payments indicating application to a particular invoice or invoices will be applied to that invoice. If an account debtor with respect to a Receivable notifies CIBER of a dispute by such account debtor concerning a Receivable, all monies received from such account debtor will be applied to the undisputed portion, if any, of such Receivable.

            (b)  To the extent that the amount collected by CIBER in respect of Receivables within 180 days after the Closing Date (the "Receivables Adjustment Date") is less than the full value of the Receivables on the Closing Date, then within 10 days after the Receivables Adjustment Date, CIBER and Seller shall in good faith mutually agree upon which outstanding Receivables are uncollectible. A Receivable shall not be considered uncollectible if the account debtor has not satisfied such Receivable due to a dispute concerning services or products supplied after the Closing Date by CIBER. If CIBER and Seller cannot mutually agree upon such uncollectible Receivables, then the uncollectible Receivables shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm acceptable to both Buyer and Seller. Upon the final determination of the uncollectible Receivables (whether by mutual agreement or by such independent accounting firm), Seller shall pay to CIBER within 10 days thereafter the difference between the full value of such uncollected Receivables and the amount actually collected thereon by CIBER prior to such final determination. Concurrently, with such payment, if any, to CIBER, CIBER shall reassign to Seller all of such uncollected Receivables. CIBER will endorse (if necessary) and deliver to Seller within three (3) business days after CIBER's receipt thereof, any cash, checks or other documents received by CIBER on account of any such reassigned Receivables.

        6.18    Bulk Sales Law.    Subject to Seller's and the Shareholder's obligations under Section 6.8(a)(iii) which shall not be affected hereby, CIBER and Seller hereby waive compliance with their respective obligations under applicable bulk sales laws of any states or jurisdictions in which compliance may be required.

        6.19    Subcontracts.    In the event a dispute or claim arises with respect to any Contract under which some or all of the services delivered and the subject of such dispute or claim were delivered by a subcontractor for which Seller or the Shareholder have or may have the obligation to indemnify CIBER under Section 6.8 hereof, and Seller undertakes defense of such claim as permitted by Section 6.9 hereof, then Seller and CIBER shall cooperate with each other to provide Seller the right to enforce CIBER's rights under any such subcontract in order to recover any damages for which such subcontractor may be liable to CIBER as the contractor.

        6.20    Tampa Lease.    Following the Closing, CIBER shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate with the lessor under that Lease Agreement dated April 7,1997 between DCI and Crescent Resources, Inc. so that such Lease is assigned to CIBER and DCI is removed as a party thereto and released from all liability thereunder not assumed by CIBER hereunder; and (ii) continue negotiations toward the execution of a sublease agreement pursuant to that certain letter of intent dated April 18, 2002 between DCI and The Reynolds & Reynolds Company.

        6.21    Delivery of Certificates Representing Shares.    CIBER shall cause its transfer agent to deliver the stock certificates representing the Shares to Seller within three weeks following the Closing Date.

PROMISSORY NOTE

$1,500,000   Greenwood Village, Colorado
    January 2, 2002

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (referred to as "Maker") promises to pay to the order of CIBER, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Lender"), at 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 1400, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, or at such other place or places as Lender may designate from time to time, on maturity the unpaid principal amount of the loan made by the Lender to Maker hereunder. All such payments of principal shall be due and payable on December 31, 2002. This note shall not bear interest through the time of maturity. Imputed interest at the minimum allowable rate under the Internal Revenue Code will be reported to the I.R.S. and Maker is responsible for any and all taxes related thereto.

All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

        Maker may borrow, on a revolving basis, up to one million, five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) from Lender hereunder.

The Investor has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Shares, and fully understands that the Shares are speculative investments, which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor's entire investment. The Investor understands that (a) its acquisition of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, (b) that the Shares therefore cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Act or when an exemption from registration is available, and (c) that the certificates for the Shares will bear a legend stating that they have not been registered under federal or state securities law and cannot be resold unless they are registered or an exemption from registration is available.

If Investor is not a "U.S. Person" as defined under Regulation S of the Securities Act, the Investor agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Shares or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense. The Investor acknowledges that the Placement Agent is not authorized to make any representation or use any information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase and sale of the Shares.

            5.3  The Investor covenants not to sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares unless (a) the Investor has satisfied the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act, if applicable, (b) the sale or transfer is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and (c) such disposition is pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith. The Investor acknowledges that, subject to Section 7.2, there may occasionally be times when the Company, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that it must suspend the use of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC or until the Company has amended or supplemented such Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Investor shall be permitted to transfer the Shares to any other person or entity that is controlled by such Investor, controls such Investor or is under common control with such Investor, including, any funds or accounts advised by such Investor's investment advisor, provided that the transfer transaction meets the registration requirements of the Securities Act or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof.

            5.4  The Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

            5.5  The Investor will not, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, engage in any hedging transaction effecting any short sale or having in effect any short position (whether or not such sale or position is against the box and regardless of when such position was entered into) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Shares (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock of the Company. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares subject to the foregoing restriction until the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

            5.6  The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Shares.

        6.    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agent, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and Investors herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Shares being purchased and the payment therefor.

              (a)  the term "Investor Affiliate" shall mean any officer, director, agent, employee, fiduciaries, members managers, general or limited partners or affiliate of such Investor, including, without limitation, each person, if any, who controls the Investor or such Investor Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act;

              (b)  the term "Registration Statement" shall include any final Prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1; and

              (c)  the term "untrue statement" shall include any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                (i)    To the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and the Investor Affiliate from and against any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Company's prior written consent) or liabilities (each a "Loss," collectively "Losses") to which such Investor or the Investor Affiliate may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) in the case of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendments or supplements thereto, any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or state securities laws, or (ii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Investor or Investor Affiliate for any reasonable legal or other expenses or costs reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim as and when such expenses are incurred, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor or any Investor Affiliate specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of such Investor or Investor Affiliate to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 7.2 hereof or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor.

                (ii)  To the extent permitted by law, the Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any Losses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Investor's prior written consent) to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any failure by the Investor or any Investor Affiliate to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 7.2 hereof, or (ii) in the case of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto; any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Investor shall not be obligated to indemnify the Company pursuant to this provision in excess of the amount that is equal to the gross amount received by the Investor from a sale of the Shares. The Investor will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any reasonable legal or other expenses or costs reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim when and as such expenses are incurred.

                (iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 7.3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party's ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 7.3. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof and provided that counsel is reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there exists or may exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

                (iv)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investors on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such Losses (or actions in respect thereof). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the gross amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Shares to which such Loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investors' obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Shares to which such loss relates and not joint.

                (v)  The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 7.3, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7.3 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as required by the Act and the Exchange Act. The parties are advised that federal or state public policy as interpreted by the courts in certain jurisdictions may be contrary to certain of the provisions of this Section 7.3, and the parties hereto hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right or ability to assert such public policy as a defense to a claim under this Section 7.3 and further agree not to attempt to assert any such defense.

            7.4  Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 5 or this Section 7 upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares when such Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

            7.5  Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Shares owned by the Investor, the Company will furnish to the Investor:

              (a)  as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Stockholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants) and (ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Stockholders, its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);

              (b)  upon the reasonable request of the Investor, all exhibits excluded by the parenthetical to subparagraph (a)(ii) of this Section 7.5 as filed with the SEC and all other information that is made available to shareholders; and

              (c)  upon the reasonable request of the Investor, an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such Prospectuses; and the Company, upon the reasonable request of the Investor, will meet with the Investor or a representative thereof at the Company's headquarters to discuss all information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Shares and will otherwise cooperate with any Investor conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating such Investor's exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company's headquarters; provided, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information to or meet at its headquarters with any Investor until and unless the Investor shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with respect thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

CIBER CLOSES DCI ACQUISITION

        GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.—May 6, 2002—CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR) today announced the closing, effective April 30, 2002, of the acquisition of Decision Consultants, Inc. (DCI), a $100 million national information technology (IT) services company.

        "The closing of this combination went very smoothly. Since first announcing it on April 8, we proceeded to structure and close the financial pieces. There was strong demand for the equity piece, led by Stifel Nicolaus and RW Baird, totaling $15 million dollars. Wells Fargo, our commercial bank, increased their facility by more than $20 million in a very timely manner. We are grateful to all of these participants," said Mac Slingerlend, president and chief executive officer, CIBER. "In addition, "thanks" to Wachovia Securities and Updata Capital, who assisted CIBER's review of the combination, and Thatcher Penn Group, who aided Jack Krasula and DCI.

        "We are pleased to get this done in a very tough stock market environment," Slingerlend continued. "The IT services sector, which has been demand challenged for almost three years, is showing sparks of a comeback. We believe CIBER is well prepared and the DCI acquisition is timely. We continue to believe the combination will be accretive in 2002, beginning in July, after duplicate costs have been removed.

        CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR) is a leading international, system integration consultancy, providing IT services for Internet strategy and development, complete life cycle system support (from customer quotation through cash collection), with superior value-priced services for both private and government sector clients. CIBER's services are offered on a project or strategic staffing basis, in both custom and enterprise resource planning (ERP) package environments, and across all technology platforms, operating systems and infrastructures.

Any forward-looking statements herein are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
