For these reasons, Company and its Affiliates shall have the right to obtain such preliminary, temporary or permanent injunctions or restraining orders or decrees as may be necessary to protect Company or any Affiliate 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 Company or any Affiliate may have to protect its rights. The prevailing party in any such action shall be responsible for reimbursing the non-prevailing party for all costs associated with obtaining the relief, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and expenses and costs of suit.

- 9 -

In consideration of 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, Company may, at any time within sixty (60) days of the service of Executive’s complaint upon 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 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 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.

This Agreement is intended to be exempt from or to comply with Code Section 409A (to the extent applicable) and the parties hereto agree to interpret, apply and administer this Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary to comply therewith or be exempt therefrom and without resulting in any increase in the amounts owed hereunder by Company.

20.2. It is intended that each installment of the severance payments and benefits provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”). Neither Executive nor Company shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A.

20.4. If, as of the date of Executive’s “separation from service” from Company, Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then:

20.4.1 Each installment of the severance payments and benefits due under this Agreement that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein, will in all circumstances, regardless of when the separation from service occurs, be paid within the short-term deferral period (as defined in Section 409A) shall be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A; and

20.4.2 Each installment of the severance payments and benefits due under this Agreement that is not described in above and that would, absent this provision, be paid within the six-month period following Executive’s “separation from service” from Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, Executive’s death), with any such installments that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day following Executive’s separation from service and any subsequent installments, if any, being paid in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any installment of severance payments and benefits if and to the maximum extent that such installment is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury Regulation 1.409A- 1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). Any installments that qualify for the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 1(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the last day of the second taxable year following the taxable year in which the separation from service occurs.

21. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

6. Executive acknowledges that he has been given the opportunity to consider this Release for at least twenty-one (21) days, which is a reasonable period of time, and that he has been advised to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release. Executive further acknowledges that he has had a full and fair opportunity to confer with an attorney, that he has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of the Release, and that he has executed it of his own free will, act and deed without coercion and with knowledge of the nature and consequences thereof If Executive executes this Release in less than twenty-one (21) days, he acknowledges that he has thereby waived his right to the full twenty-one (21) day period. For a period of seven (7) calendar days following the execution of this Release, Executive may revoke this Release by delivery of a written notice revoking the same within that seven (7) day period to the Company at Mastech InfoTrellis, Inc., 1305 Cherrington Parkway, Bldg. 210, Suite 400, Moon Township, PA 15108, Attention: Jenna Ford Lacey.

7. Executive acknowledges that he was provided with, received, used and was exposed to confidential proprietary information and trade secrets relating to the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Trade Secrets and/or Confidential Information”). Executive agrees that the Company has a substantial business interest in the protection of its Trade Secrets and/or Confidential Information from disclosure and/or misuse and that the Company has a substantial business interest in the covenants set forth below.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that the ascertainment of damages in the event of his breach or violation of the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 7 of this Release would be difficult, if not impossible, and further that the various rights and duties created hereunder are extraordinary and unique so that upon breach by Executive of the duties and obligations provided hereunder, the Company will suffer irreparable injury for which it will have no meaningful remedy in law. Executive therefore agrees that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to enforce the provisions hereof.
