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.
