AMENDMENT TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment to the Executive Employment Agreement (“Amendment”) is entered
into as of July 26, 2016, by and between Brad D. Scott, an individual
(“Executive”), and Epiq Systems, Inc. (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are party to that certain Executive
Employment Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2014 (the “Employment
Agreement”);

WHEREAS, it is expected that the Company shall enter into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, updated or
supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Document
Technologies, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Parent”) and DTI Merger
Sub, Inc., a Missouri corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Amendment to
clarify certain terms of Executive’s employment with the Company effective
following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the Employment Agreement unless specified to the
contrary.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained, the parties agree as follows:

 

  1. Section 1(z) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

“Separation Consideration” shall mean:

(i) a cash amount equal to the sum of the Bonus and eighteen (18) months of Base
Salary; and

(ii) regular monthly payments (payable 1 month in arrears) equal to the
difference between (A) the Executive’s monthly premium rate for health insurance
for Executive and Executive’s dependents under the Company’s relevant health
insurance plans (e.g. medical, dental and vision) in effect on the End Date, and
(B) the monthly premium paid by Executive for substantially similar health
insurance coverage for Executive and Executive’s dependents (whether through the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) or otherwise), after
the End Date, until the earlier of (Y) eighteen (18) months from the End Date,
or (Z) Executive’s employment by a person, company, or other entity that offers
health insurance;

provided that, following a Change in Control, the “Separation Consideration”
shall mean:

(i) a cash amount equal to $4,570,928; and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii) regular monthly payments (payable 1 month in arrears) equal to the
difference between (A) the Executive’s monthly premium rate for health insurance
for Executive and Executive’s dependents under the Company’s relevant health
insurance plans (e.g. medical, dental and vision) in effect on the End Date, and
(B) the monthly premium paid by Executive for substantially similar health
insurance coverage for Executive and Executive’s dependents (whether through the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) or otherwise), after
the End Date, until the earlier of (Y) twenty-four (24) months from the End
Date, or (Z) Executive’s employment by a person, company, or other entity that
offers health insurance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Separation Consideration shall be payable
within sixty (60) days following the End Date (or as otherwise required by
applicable law or as expressly set forth above relating to regular monthly
payments or other consideration), provided that Executive shall not be entitled
to receive the Separation Consideration unless and until: (x) Executive has
executed and delivered the Release to the Company; (y) the Release has become
fully effective in all respects; and (z) Executive reaffirms and does not breach
the post-termination obligations contained in this Agreement and has not breach
the provisions of the Release or breached the provisions of Section 7, 8 or 10
hereof.

 

  2. References. All references in the Employment Agreement to “this Agreement”
and any other references of similar import shall hereinafter refer to the
Employment Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

  3. Remaining Provisions. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the
Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment
embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relative
thereto.

 

  4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri.

 

  5. Amendment Effective Date. This Amendment shall be effective as of the date
of the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In
the event that the Transactions are not consummated, this Amendment will be void
and of no force and effect.

 

  6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by either of the parties
hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all
such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
