the termination or end of the employee’s employment shall be deemed to refer instead to the termination or end of the Executive’s Consulting Period under this Agreement. Except as modified in this Section 6, the Restrictive Covenants
will survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent provided in such agreements. 
 7. Termination of Agreement.

 (b) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the employment of the
Executive or the services of the Executive as a consultant at any time for “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement, termination by the Company for “Cause” means that the Executive shall have committed (i) an
intentional act of fraud or embezzlement in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment or consulting services with the Company, (ii) intentional material damage to property of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or
(iii) intentional wrongful disclosure of material secret processes or material confidential information of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive will

Section 409A); (ii) the end of the Employment Term will be treated as the Executive’s date of separation from service for purposes of Section 409A; (iii) the payment of consulting fees during the 6 month period following the
Executive’s separation from service would constitute payments from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Section 409A; (iv) to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, the payment of the first quarterly consulting
fee under Section 5(c) of this Agreement shall be delayed and paid on August 5, 2008; (v) the reimbursement of consulting expenses under Section 5(d) of this Agreement is intended to be a reimbursement of deductible business

reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Executive in fulfilling his obligations under this Section 11. 
 12. Conditions

this Agreement including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenants.

the Company. 
 15. Governing Law and Interpretation. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws provision. Should any provision of the Agreement be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and cannot be modified to be enforceable, excluding
Section 6 (Restrictive Covenants) or Section 10 (Released Claims), such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement in full force and effect. If Sections 6 or 10, or any portion thereof, is
found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the Executive agrees that the Company may rewrite this Agreement to cure the defect, and the Executive shall execute the rewritten agreement upon request of the Company without any
additional monies, benefits and/or compensation thereof. The Executive and the Company affirm that either may institute an action to specifically enforce any term or terms of this Agreement.

providing coverage to the Executive for her acts or failures to act through her last day of employment that is no less favorable to her than the coverage then being provided, if any, to any other current or former senior executives of the Company.

 16. Time to Consider. The Executive has been advised to consult with her attorney to obtain advice about her rights and obligations
under this Agreement. The Executive represents that she has carefully read this Agreement and finds that it has been written in language that she understands. The Executive has been given twenty-one (21) days to consider whether to
accept this Agreement, and has signed it only after reading, considering and understanding it. If the Executive signs this Agreement before the expiration of the twenty-one (21) days, she is expressly waiving her right to consider this
Agreement for any remaining portion of that period. The parties agree that any changes made to this Agreement from the version originally presented to the Executive, whether those changes are deemed material or non-material, do not extend the
reasonable period of time the Executive has been given to consider this Agreement. 
 17. Right to Revoke. The Executive may revoke
this Agreement for a period of seven (7) days following the day the Executive executes this Agreement. Any revocation within this period must be submitted, in writing, to Bryan J. Pechersky, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary,
Harte-Hanks, Inc., 200 Concord Plaza Drive, Suite 800, San Antonio, Texas 78216, and state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of the Transition Agreement.” The revocation must be personally delivered to Bryan J. Pechersky or his designee, or
mailed to Bryan J. Pechersky and postmarked by September 5, 2007. If mailed, the revocation shall also 

  

 6 

 
be sent in writing via facsimile and/or electronic transmission to Bryan J. Pechersky at (210) 829-9139 or Bryan_Pechersky@harte-hanks.com. This
Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired. If the last day of the revocation period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday in Texas, then the revocation period shall not expire until the next
following day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The Executive understands that she has the right to revoke this Agreement at any time during the seven (7) calendar day period following the date on which she first signs this
Agreement. 
 18. Effective Date. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the General Release, shall not become effective or
enforceable until the expiration of the 7-day revocation period described in Section 17 above (“Effective Date”). Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement including, without limitation, the General Release, shall automatically
become effective without any further affirmative action on the part of the Executive or the Company. 
 19. Conditions Applying to Payment
of Benefits. The Executive understands and agrees that the payments and benefits to be provided to the Executive under this Agreement, including, without limitation, those in Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, are subject to the
Executive’s compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation, the Restrictive Covenants, the General Release and the Additional Release. 
 20. Communications. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted by this Agreement to be mailed, given or delivered to the
Executive shall be in writing, addressed to her at her address as shown in the Company’s official personnel records or at such other address as she shall have furnished from time to time to the Company for the purposes hereof; and any payment
to the Executive under this Agreement may be made by check delivered to her or mailed to or delivered at such address. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted by this Agreement to be given to the Company is to be in writing,
addressed to the Company, for the attention of its Secretary, at the address of its principal office in San Antonio, Texas, as set forth in Section 17 above, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the Executive for the
purposes hereof. 
 21. Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties agree to waive any and all rights to a jury trial with respect
to any matter under this Agreement, and further agree to arbitrate any and all disputes, Claims or controversies relating to or arising out of this Agreement before a single arbitrator (“Arbitration”). The Arbitration shall be
submitted to the American Arbitration Association for binding arbitration in accordance with the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. The location of the Arbitration shall be the City of Baltimore in the State of Maryland, and
the Arbitration shall proceed in English. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates will have no adequate remedy at law for any breach or alleged breach of Sections 6
(Restrictive Covenants), 13 (Cooperation), or 14 (Non-disparagement) of this Agreement and that the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in court, in addition to any other remedies available at law or hereunder, in connection with any
breach or alleged breach by the Executive of her obligations under Sections 6, 13, and 14 of this Agreement. For the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving a right to injunctive relief, the Executive hereby submits to the jurisdiction
of federal and state courts sitting in the City of San Antonio in the State of Texas, and further agrees that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit, action or proceeding involving a right to injunctive relief.

 22. Assignability; Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of,
the Executive (and, in the event of her death or her incapacity due to Disability, her surviving spouse, her conservator, her guardian, or her estate, as the case may be); the obligations of the Executive hereunder are personal and this Agreement
may not be assigned by the Executive. This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the Company and shall also bind and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company by merger or consolidation or any assignee of all or
substantially all of its assets or properties, but, except to any such successor or assignor of the Company, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Company. 
 23. Governing Law and Interpretation. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflict of laws. All section
titles and captions in this Agreement are for convenience only, shall not be deemed part of this Agreement, and in no way shall define, limit, extend or describe the scope or intent of any provisions hereof. Should any provision of the Agreement be
declared illegal or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction and cannot be modified to be enforceable, excluding Section 6 (Restrictive Covenants), Section 9 (General Release of Claims), or Section 10
(Additional Release of Claims), such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement in full force and effect. If Sections 6, 9, or 10, or any portion thereof, is found by a court or arbitrator of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the Executive agrees that the Company may rewrite this Agreement to the extent deemed necessary by the Company in its reasonable good faith judgment, and upon advice of counsel of its choosing, to cure the defect,
and the Executive shall execute the rewritten agreement upon request of the Company without any additional monies, benefits and/or compensation thereof. The Executive and Company affirm that either may institute an action to specifically enforce any
term or terms of this Agreement. 
 24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is to be
deemed an original, but all of which, together, constitute one and the same instrument. 
 25. Entire Agreement and Modification. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Executive concerning the subject matters contained herein. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements between the parties
concerning these subject matters (including but not limited to the Severance Agreement between the Company and Executive dated as of March 4, 2004), except for the Confidentiality Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement. This Agreement may not
be modified, terminated, waived, altered, or amended, except in a writing signed by the Executive, and a duly authorized officer of the Company. 
 26. Effect of Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties described in Sections 6 (Restrictive Covenants), 9 (General Release of Claims), 10
(Additional Release of Claims), 13 (Cooperation), 14 (Non-Disparagement) and 15 (Indemnification and Insurance) of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  

 8 

 27. Adequate Consideration. The parties further acknowledge that each has received adequate and
sufficient consideration to support this Agreement, including, without limitation, the salary, payments and other consideration to be paid to the Executive and the releases and other obligations to be provided and/or performed by the Executive.
