 THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Executive Agreement”) is effective this 25th day of March, 2009, by and between Mastech, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (hereinafter called the
“Company”) and the undersigned employee, Edward Meindl (hereinafter called the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, on
January 4, 2006, Company and Executive entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (together with its Schedules the “Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1; and 
 WHEREAS, on March 18, 2009, Company and Executive entered into a second Executive Employment Agreement (together with its Schedules the
“Second Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto find it necessary to and are desirous of setting aside the Second
Agreement and reinstating the Agreement, subject to modifying certain provisions, terms and conditions as set forth herein. 
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and in the Agreement, and other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 
 1. The Second Agreement is voided and set aside. The parties agree that the terms and
conditions of the Agreement dated January 4, 2006, are reinstated and adopted by both parties in this Executive Agreement, subject to the modifications contained in Articles 2 and 3 below. 
 2. Article 8, subpart b, of the Agreement will be replaced with the following 
 (b) Without Cause. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause Executive will be
entitled to the following. 
 (1) Six (6) months of Executive’s last monthly base salary, as set forth
in Attachment A, less appropriate deductions, payable following Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices (“Severance Pay”). 
 Severance Pay will be treated as amounts paid under the Company’s generally applicable severance pay policy
(“Severance Policy”) as in effect from time to time to the extent of Executive’s entitlement to payments under the Severance Policy, provided that to the extent the Severance Pay to be received by Executive during the first six
(6) months after termination of employment, together with all other taxable severance payments received during that six (6)-month period (determined under Internal Revenue Code §409A and including the payments under paragraph
(4) below if required), exceeds the maximum amount of severance pay permitted to be paid to a “specified employee” under Internal Revenue Code §409A, the excess Severance Pay shall be paid instead in a single lump sum on the
first business day after the end of the six (6)-month period. 
 (2) Continued coverage under Company’s
employee benefit plans (other than 401(k) or pension benefit coverage) after termination of employment for Executive and his eligible dependents, as and when provided under the Severance Policy, and subject to the payment of applicable premiums or
other costs, all in accordance with the terms of the Severance Policy and the applicable benefit plans (including, without limitation, cessation of such benefits due to receiving similar benefit coverage from a new employer). 







 (3) Following the cessation of coverage under the Company’s group
health (medical, dental, vision) plans under (2) above, Executive shall be entitled to continue his coverage and coverage for any eligible qualified beneficiary under Company’s group health plans in accordance with and for as long as
required under the federal “COBRA” requirements (subject to payment of the applicable cost for such coverage as may be required by Company in accordance with COBRA). Any period of post-termination coverage under (2) above shall not be
considered as part of the COBRA continued coverage period. 
 (4) For any period COBRA coverage under
Company’s group health plans is in effect for Executive and/or Executive’s qualified beneficiaries during the first six (6) months after Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall receive a monthly payment at the same
time as the Severance Pay, less appropriate withholding, pursuant to the Company’s regular schedule and payroll practices, in an amount equal to the excess of the Executive’s cost for COBRA coverage over the cost Executive would have paid
for group health plan coverage as an active employee of the Company. 
 (5) For a period of six (6) months
following Executive’s termination date, continued vesting in unvested stock options outstanding as of such termination date and granted under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), or any successor thereto (the
“Options”). 
 (6) The exercise period for a vested Option, including those which vest pursuant to
(5) above, will be extended for a period of six (6) months after the otherwise applicable expiration date, but not later than the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of such Option or (ii) ten (10) years from the
date of grant. 
 Executive further acknowledges that the Company’s obligations under this Section 8(b), are contingent
upon and subject to Executive’s signing (and not revoking) an agreement and release of all claims against Company in a form similar to the one attached hereto as Schedule C (or such other form acceptable to Company). 
 3. In accordance with paragraph 3 of the Agreement, the compensation payable to Executive as set forth in Schedule “A” to the Agreement may be
modified annually by Company. Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby voided and replaced with the Schedule A (2) that is attached to this Executive Agreement. 
 4. For the sake of clarification, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement not modified in Articles 2 and 3 above hereby shall remain in full force and effect. 
 5. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS READ THIS AMENDMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONFER WITH ANYONE OF
HIS CHOICE, INCLUDING LEGAL COUNSEL, CONCERNING THIS AMENDMENT. BY SIGNING BELOW, EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS ENTERING INTO THIS AMENDMENT VOLUNTARILY AND INTENDS TO BE BOUND BY IT.

best efforts to advance the business and goodwill of Company. Executive further agrees to devote all of Executive’s business time, skill, energy and attention exclusively to the business of the Company and to comply with all rules, regulations
and procedures of the Company. During the term of this Agreement, Executive will not engage in any other business for Executive’s own account or accept any employment from any other business entity, or render any services, give any advice or

 Executive acknowledges that the Company is engaged in business throughout the United States, as well as in other countries and that the marketplace for the Company’s products and services is
worldwide. Executive further covenants and agrees that the geographic, length of term and types of activities restrictions (non-competition restrictions) contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business
interests of the Company because of the scope of the Company’s business. 
 In the event that a court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine that one or more of the provisions of this Paragraph 6 is so broad as to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be reduced in scope or length, as the case may be, to the extent required to make this
Paragraph enforceable. If the Executive violates the provisions of this Paragraph 6, the periods described therein shall be extended by that number of days which equals the aggregate of all days during which at any time any such violations occurred.
Executive acknowledges that the offer of employment by the Company, or any other consideration offered for signing this agreement, is sufficient consideration for Executive’s agreement to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Paragraph 6.
Executive agrees that Executive’s signing of an Employment Agreement containing the restrictive covenants set forth herein was a condition precedent to Executive’s employment with the Company. 
 7. NONDISCLOSURE AND NONUSE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive covenants and agrees during Executive’s employment or any
time after the termination of such employment, not to communicate or divulge to any person, firm, corporation or business entity, either directly or indirectly, and to hold in strict confidence for the benefit of the Company, all Confidential
Information except that Executive may disclose such Information to persons, firms or corporations who need to know such Information during the course and within the scope of Executive’s employment. Executive will not use any Confidential
Information for any purpose or for Executive’s personal benefit other than in the course and within the scope of Executive’s employment. Executive agrees to sign and abide by the terms and conditions of the Company’s Confidential
Information and Intellectual Property Protection Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment B and incorporated as though fully set forth herein. 
 8. TERMINATION. Either party with or without cause under the following conditions may terminate this Agreement:

or the Board of Directors; (iv) gross negligence or deliberate

misconduct; (v) any material breach of paragraphs 6 or 7 of this Agreement, or Executive’s Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Protection Agreement; or
(vi) Executive’s own voluntary separation from employment. In the event that Executive is terminated with “cause,” the Company may immediately cease payment of any further wages, benefits or other compensation hereunder.
Executive acknowledges that Executive has continuing obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to Paragraphs 6 and 7, in the event that Executive is terminated with cause. Executive agrees to provide Company with thirty
(30) days notice should Executive voluntarily decide to separate from Executive’s employment. 
 (b) Without
Cause. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated without cause, Executive will be paid 6 months (“Severance Period”) at Executive’s last base salary. All payments referenced herein, less appropriate deductions,
will be paid as salary continuation pursuant to the Company’s regular schedule and payroll practices. Executive shall also be entitled to continue in the Company’s health, dental, vision and life insurance plans at the same benefit level
existing at the time of employment termination during the Severance Period. In the event that Executive obtains employment with another employer during the Severance Period and said new employer provides similar benefits, Executive’s right to
receive further benefits (excluding salary) shall terminate upon receipt of said benefits from Executive’s new employer. Executive shall not be entitled to continued stock option vesting or any salary or benefits other than those stated herein.
Executive acknowledges Executive’s continuing obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to Paragraphs 6, and 7, in the event that Executive is terminated without cause. Executive further acknowledges that the payment of any
severance under this Agreement is conditioned upon Executive first signing an agreement and release of all claims against the Company in a form similar to the one attached hereto as Attachment C. 
 9. TERM. Executive’s employment shall continue until such employment is terminated in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 8. 
 10. EQUITABLE RELIEF; FEES AND EXPENSES. Executive stipulates and agrees that any breach of this
Agreement by Executive will result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Company, the amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain, and that the Company could not be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law.
For these reasons, the Company shall have the right, without objection from Executive, to obtain such preliminary, temporary or permanent injunctions or restraining orders or decrees as may be necessary to protect the Company against, or on account
of, any breach by Executive of the provisions of this Agreement without the need to post bond. Such right to equitable relief is in addition to all other legal remedies the Company may have to protect its rights. In the event the Company obtains any
such injunction, order, decree or other relief, in law or in equity, Executive shall be responsible for reimbursing the Company for all costs associated with obtaining the relief, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and expenses and costs of
suit. Executive further covenants and agrees that any order of court or judgment obtained by the Company which enforces the Company’s rights under this Agreement may be transferred, without objection or opposition by Executive, to any court of
law or other appropriate law enforcement body located in any other state in the U.S.A. or any other country in the world where Company does business, and that said court or body shall give full force and effect to said order and or judgment.

 11.
EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROCEDURE-WAIVER OF RIGHTS. In consideration of the Company employing Executive and the wages and benefits provided under this Agreement, Executive and the Company each agree that, in the event either party (or
its representatives, successors or assigns) brings an action in a court of competent jurisdiction relating to Executive’s recruitment, employment with, or termination of employment from the Company, the plaintiff in such action agrees to waive
his, her or its right to a trial by jury, and further agrees that no demand, request or motion will be made for trial by jury. 
 In consideration of the Company employing Executive, and the wages and benefits provided under this Agreement, Executive further agrees that, in the event that Executive seeks relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for a dispute
covered by this Agreement, the Company may, at any time within 60 days of the service of Executive’s complaint upon the Company, at its option, require all or part of the dispute to be arbitrated by one arbitrator in accordance with the rules
of the American Arbitration Association. Executive agrees that the option to arbitrate any dispute is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and is fully enforceable. Executive understands and agrees that, if the Company exercises its option, any
dispute arbitrated will be heard solely by the arbitrator, and not by a court. The parties agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to have all of their legal fees paid by the non-prevailing party. This pre-dispute resolution agreement will
cover all matters directly or indirectly related to Executive’s recruitment, employment or termination of employment by the Company; including, but not limited to, claims involving laws against any form of discrimination whether brought under
federal and/or state law, and/or claims involving co-employees, but excluding Worker’s Compensation Claims.

of this Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof
(whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. Any failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of
any such terms or conditions. 
 14. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF EXECUTIVE. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

SEVERABILITY. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The restrictive
covenants stated herein may be read as if separate and apart from this Agreement and shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason. 
 17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement supercedes all prior agreements, discussions, correspondence whether written or oral, between
Company and Executive concerning the subject matter hereof. 
 18. CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION AND VENUE. The parties
agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and entered into in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and that the Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall govern this Agreement, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Jurisdiction and venue is exclusively limited in any proceeding by the Company or Executive to enforce their rights hereunder to any court or arbitrator geographically located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The Executive hereby waives any
objections to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in or for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, including any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue, and/or forum non-conveniens, in any proceeding by the Company to enforce its rights hereunder
filed in or for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Executive agrees not to object to any petition filed by the Company to remove an action filed by Executive from a forum or court not located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. 
 19. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs and
legal representatives of the parties hereto. The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, consolidation or restructuring involving the Company, or a sale or transfer of the business and/or any assets of the
