 THIS AMENDMENT #1 TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”), is effective this 25th day of March, 2009, by and between Mastech, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (hereinafter called the
“Company”) and the undersigned employee, Kevin Kutzavitch (hereinafter called the “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, on
March 16, 2007, 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, the parties hereto find it necessary to and are desirous of modifying certain provisions, terms and conditions of the Agreement 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. Replace Article 8, subpart b, 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). 
 2. 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 Amendment. 
 3. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement not amended hereby shall remain in full force and effect.

the one (1) year period preceding the termination of Executive’s employment; 
 2. DUTIES. Executive, who is
employed as an at-will employee in the position set forth on Attachment A hereof as of April 1, 2007, agrees to be responsible for such duties as are commensurate with and required by such position and any other duties as may be assigned to

  


					
		  		  	(Initial SS )









 
Executive by Company from time to time. Executive further agrees to perform Executive’s duties in a diligent, trustworthy, loyal, businesslike, productive, and efficient manner and to use
Executive’s 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 serve in a consulting capacity, whether gratuitously or otherwise, to or for any other person, firm or corporation, other than as a volunteer for charitable organizations, without the prior written approval of the Company, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 3. COMPENSATION. Executive’s annual base salary and other compensation as of
the date of this Agreement are as set forth on Attachment A hereto. Said wages and compensation are subject to being reviewed and modified annually by the Company. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any payments to Executive pursuant to

any reason, Executive will not: 
 (a) Directly or indirectly contact any Customer of the Company for the purpose of soliciting
such Customer to purchase, lease or license a product or service that is the same as, similar to, or in competition with those products and/or services made, rendered, offered or under development by the Company; 
 (b) Directly or indirectly employ, or knowingly permit any company or business directly or indirectly controlled by Executive to employ any

		  	-2-	  	(Initial SS )









 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: 
 (a) With Cause Termination. Executive may be terminated from employment with
“cause.” “Cause” shall mean (i) the commission of a crime involving moral turpitude, theft, fraud or deceit; (ii) conduct which brings the Company or any of its related entities into public disgrace or disrepute,
(iii) substantial or continued unwillingness to perform duties, notwithstanding best efforts to achieve desired results, as reasonably directed by Executive’s supervisors 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 and Executive forfeits the right to any unpaid portions of the Annual Target
Bonus. Executive

  


					
		  	-3-	  	(Initial SS )









 
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. Within seventy-two (72) business hours of learning of Executive’s voluntary separation, Company
shall determine if Executive’s services are required through the duration of the notice period. Should Company waive or reduce Executive’s notice requirement, Executive will be entitled to the benefits and payments herein until such time
as Executives services are no longer needed. 
 (b) Without Cause. In the event that Executive’s employment is
terminated without cause, Executive shall receive a prorated share of any Annual Target Bonus quarterly installment earned but unpaid as of the day Executive’s employment is terminated without cause. In addition, Executive will be paid six
(6) months (“Severance Period”) at Executive’s last base salary. All severance 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.

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: (a) this Agreement is necessary for the
protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company; (b) the restrictions contained in this Agreement may be enforced in a court of law whether or not Executive is terminated with or without cause or for performance related reasons;
