Exhibit 10.1
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
1996 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
(as proposed to be amended and restated May 14, 2026)
1.
Purpose
The purpose of the Lamar Advertising Company 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to attract and retain directors, key
employees and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, to provide an incentive for them to achieve long-range performance goals, and to enable them to participate in the long-term growth of the Company by granting Awards with respect to the
Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 9 below.
2.
Administration
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall select the Participants to receive Awards and shall determine the terms
and conditions of the Awards and designate any Performance Measures, as applicable. The Committee shall have authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the operation of the Plan as it shall
from time to time consider advisable, and to interpret the provisions of the Plan. The Committee’s decisions shall be final and binding. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to one or more executive officers of
the Company the power to make Awards to Participants who are not Reporting Persons and all determinations under the Plan with respect thereto, provided that the Committee shall fix the maximum amount of such Awards for all such Participants and a
maximum for any one Participant. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under this Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
3.
Eligibility
All directors, employees and consultants of the Company or any Affiliate capable of contributing significantly to the successful performance of
the Company, other than a person who has irrevocably elected not to be eligible, are eligible to be Participants in the Plan. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to persons eligible to receive such Options under the Code.
4.
Stock/Cash Available for Awards
(a) Amount. Subject to adjustment under subsection (b), Awards (including Incentive Stock Options) may be made under the Plan for
up to 19,500,000 shares of Common Stock. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5(d), if any Award expires or is terminated unexercised or is forfeited or settled without issuance of shares of Common Stock, the shares subject to such Award,
to the extent of such expiration, termination, forfeiture or decrease, shall again be available for award under the Plan. Common Stock issued through the assumption or substitution of outstanding grants from an acquired company shall not reduce the
shares available for Awards under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares of Common Stock, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
the Plan. Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.
A-1
(b) Adjustment.
(i) For Awards issued prior to January 1, 2020, in the event that the Committee determines that any stock dividend,
extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares or other transaction affects
the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits intended to be provided by the Plan, then the Committee (subject in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitation required under the Code) shall equitably
adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares in respect of which Awards may be made under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to such outstanding Awards and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any of
the foregoing, and if considered appropriate, the Committee may make provision for a cash bonus with respect to an outstanding Award, provided that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.
(ii) For Awards issued on or after January 1, 2020, subject to Section 8(e) below, in the event that the Committee
determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of
shares or other transaction affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits intended to be provided by the Plan, then the Committee (subject in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitation
required under the Code), in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by amendment of the terms of any outstanding Awards or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event, and is
hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions:
(1) Provide for either (A) termination of any
such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the
occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Subsection (b)(ii) the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such
Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion;
(2) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall
be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;
(3) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of common stock (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Awards and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards and Awards which may be granted in the future; or
(4) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.
A-2
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) any adjustments made pursuant to this subsection to Awards that are
considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code unless the Participant consents otherwise; (y) any such adjustments
made to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either continue not to be subject to
Section 409A of the Code or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code unless the Participant consents otherwise; and (z) the Committee shall not have the authority to make any such adjustments to the extent that the
existence of such authority would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code to be subject thereto.
(c) Limit on Director Grants. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be paid, issued or granted to any Director in
the aggregate in any calendar year shall not exceed $500,000 (the value of which will be based on the grant date fair value of the Award determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles). Any Awards paid or provided to an
individual for his or her services as an employee or consultant (other than as a Director), will not count for purposes of the limitation under this Section 4(c).
5.
Stock Options
(a) Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant options (“Options”) to purchase
shares of Common Stock (i) complying with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision and any regulations thereunder (“Incentive Stock Options” or “ISOs”), and (ii) not intended to
comply with such requirements (“Nonstatutory Stock Options” or “NSOs”). The Committee shall determine the number of shares subject to each Option and the exercise price therefor, which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted hereunder more than ten years after the last date on which the Plan was approved for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.
(b) Terms and Conditions. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee may specify in the applicable grant or thereafter. The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of Options, including conditions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as it considers necessary or
advisable. If, after grant of an Option, the price of shares subject to such Option is reduced, the transaction shall be treated as a cancellation of the Option and a grant of a new Option.
(c) Payment. No shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the exercise price
therefor is received by the Company. Such payment may be made in whole or in part in cash or, to the extent permitted by the Committee at or after the grant of the Option, by delivery of a note or other commitment satisfactory to the Committee or
shares of Common Stock owned by the optionee, including Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or by retaining shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option, in each case valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery or retention,
or such other lawful consideration as the Committee may determine.
(d) Unexercised Options and Other Rights. In no event
will the following shares of Common Stock again become available for Awards or increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under the Plan as set forth in Section 4(a): (i) shares of Common Stock tendered by the Participant
in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (ii) shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company with proceeds received from the exercise of an Option; and (iii) shares of Common Stock withheld from exercised Awards for tax
withholding purposes. To the extent that a share is subject to an outstanding Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other stock-based Award, such share shall reduce the share authorization by one share of stock.
(e) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. Each eligible employee may be granted Options treated as ISOs only to the extent
that, in the aggregate under this Plan and all incentive stock option plans of the Company, ISOs do not become exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar year with respect to stock having a fair market value (determined at
the time the ISOs were granted) in excess of $100,000. The Company intends to designate any Options granted in excess of such limitation as NSOs.
A-3
(f) Restrictions on Repricing of Options and SARs. Except as provided in
Sections 4(b), 8(e), or 8(h), the terms of outstanding Options or SARs may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or SARs or cancel, exchange, substitute, buyout or surrender outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for
cash, other Awards, Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or SARs without stockholder approval to the extent that stockholder approval is required by law or applicable exchange
requirement.
(g) Treatment of Dividend Rights. No cash distribution or dividend equivalent rights will be payable with
respect to Options and no adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Common Stock are issued with respect to the Option, except as provided in Section 4(b) of the
Plan.
6.
Stock Appreciation Rights
(a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant rights to receive any excess in value of shares
of Common Stock over the exercise price (“Stock Appreciation Rights” or “SARs”) in tandem with an Option (at or after the award of the Option), or alone and unrelated to an Option. SARs in tandem with an Option shall
terminate to the extent that the related Option is exercised, and the related Option shall terminate to the extent that the tandem SARs are exercised. The Committee shall determine at the time of grant or thereafter whether SARs are settled in cash,
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Awards or other property, and may define the manner of determining the excess in value of the shares of Common Stock.
(b) Exercise Price. The Committee shall fix the exercise price of each SAR or specify the manner in which the price shall be
determined. An SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall have an exercise price not less than the exercise price of the related Option. SARs granted alone and unrelated to an Option may be granted at such exercise prices as the Committee may
determine, but no less than Fair Market Value.
(c) Treatment of Dividend Rights. No SAR shall include a right to dividends
between the date of grant and date of exercise in the absence of a separate agreement in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
7.
Stock Awards
(a) Grant of Restricted or Unrestricted Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant shares of Common
Stock subject to forfeiture (“Restricted Stock”) and determine the duration of the period (the “Restricted Period”) during which, and the conditions under which, the shares may be forfeited to the Company and the other terms
and conditions of such Awards. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued for no cash consideration, such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law or such other consideration as the Committee may determine. Shares of Restricted Stock
may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, except as permitted by the Committee or the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement during the Restricted Period. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as
the Committee may determine. Any certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, deposited by the Participant, together with a stock
power endorsed in blank, with the Company. At the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Company shall deliver such certificates to the Participant or if the Participant has died, to the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary. The Committee
also may make Awards of shares of Common Stock that are not subject to restrictions or forfeiture, on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine from time to time (“Unrestricted Stock”).
A-4
(b) Performance Awards. The Committee may grant Performance Awards to eligible
individuals. The value of such Performance Awards may be linked to the market value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of Common Stock or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, or may be
based upon the appreciation in the market value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock over a fixed period or periods determined by the Committee.
(c) Other Stock Based Awards. The Committee shall have the right to grant such Awards based upon the Common Stock having terms
and conditions as the Board may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of securities convertible into Common Stock, the grant of warrants to purchase Common Stock or grant Restricted
Stock Units, and the grant of Awards with respect to partnership interests which are convertible into, exchangeable for or redeemable in shares of Common Stock.
8.
General Provisions Applicable to Awards
(a) Documentation. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a writing delivered to the Participant or agreement executed
by the Participant (an “Award Agreement”) specifying the terms and conditions thereof and containing such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee considers necessary or advisable to
achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with applicable tax and regulatory laws and accounting principles.
(b) Committee
Discretion. Each type of Award may be made alone, in addition to or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each type of Award need not be identical, and the Committee need not treat Participants uniformly. Except as otherwise provided
by the Plan or a particular Award, any determination with respect to an Award may be made by the Committee at the time of grant or at any time thereafter.
(c) Dividends and Cash Awards. In the discretion of the Committee, any Award under the Plan may provide the Participant with
(i) dividends or dividend equivalents payable (in cash or in the form of Awards under the Plan) currently or deferred with or without interest and (ii) cash payments in lieu of or in addition to an Award.
(d) Termination of Employment. The Committee shall determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement or other
termination of employment of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant’s legal representative, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may receive payment of an Award or exercise rights thereunder.
(e) Change in Control.
(i) For Awards issued on or after January 1, 2020, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or the applicable
Award Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 8(e)(ii)-(iv) shall apply to Awards in the event of a Change in Control.
(ii) Treatment of Awards Assumed or Replaced.
A-5
(1) Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant is
employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates on the date a Change in Control occurs and such employment is, within the 24 month period commencing on the effective date of such Change in Control, either involuntarily terminated by the Company or,
if the Participant has an employment agreement which permits resignation for “good reason” the Participant resigns for “good reason” as defined in such employment agreement (each referred to as a “Qualifying
Termination”), then immediately prior to such termination (A) each Award granted under this Plan to the Participant shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable and any restrictions applicable to the Award shall lapse; provided
that any Performance Award shall be determined under subparagraph (3) below; and (B) if the Award is an Option or SAR, the Award shall remain exercisable until the expiration of the remaining term of the Award. The amount payable under
clause (A) shall be paid in cash, shares or a combination thereof as provided for under the applicable Award Agreement within thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination (except to the extent that
settlement of the Award must be made pursuant to its original schedule in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code), notwithstanding that the applicable performance period, retention period or other restrictions and conditions have not
been completed or satisfied.
(2) Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the vesting and settlement of
Performance Awards in connection with a Change in Control shall be made in accordance with the following:
a. The amount
payable with respect to Award shall be equal to the greater of (x) the amount payable if each of the Performance Measures (or, for Awards issued prior to June 1, 2026, Performance Goals) shall be deemed to be satisfied at the target
payment level, provided the Award shall be prorated based on the total number of days during the performance period prior to date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination in relation to the total number of days during the performance
period, or (y) the amount payable based on the actual performance for each of the performance criteria through the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination.
b. The amount payable under subparagraph (1) shall be paid in cash, shares or a combination thereof as provided for under
the applicable Award Agreement within thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination (except to the extent that settlement of the Award must be made pursuant to its original schedule in order to comply
with Section 409A of the Code), notwithstanding that the applicable performance period, retention period or other restrictions and conditions have not been completed or satisfied.
(iii) Treatment of Awards Not Assumed or Replaced. For Awards issued on or after June 1, 2026, unless otherwise
provide in the Award Agreement, to the extent outstanding Awards are not assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the Change in Control, then upon the Change in Control, such outstanding Awards that may be exercised shall become
fully exercisable, all restrictions with respect to such outstanding Awards, other than for Performance Awards, shall lapse and the Award shall become vested and non-forfeitable, and for any outstanding
Performance Awards the payout opportunities attainable under such Awards shall be deemed to have vested immediately prior to such Change in Control based on the greater of (i) actual performance through the closing date, or (ii) the target
performance level.
A-6
(iv) Notwithstanding foregoing the provisions of this Section 8(e), if
any Award constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the timing of settlement of such Award pursuant to this Section 8(e) shall be in accordance with the settlement
terms set forth in the applicable Award Agreement if such Change in Control fails to constitute a “change in the ownership of the corporation,” a “change in effective control of the corporation” or a “change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation,” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, for Awards issued prior to January 1, 2020, in order to preserve a
Participant’s rights under an Award in the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined by the Committee), the Committee in its discretion may, at the time an Award is made or at any time thereafter, take one or more of the
following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time period relating to the exercise or payment of the Award, (ii) provide for payment to the Participant of cash or other property with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
that would have been received upon the exercise or payment of the Award had the Award been exercised or paid upon the change in control, (iii) adjust the terms of the Award in a manner determined by the Committee to reflect the change in
control, (iv) cause the Award to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity, or (v) make such other provision as the Committee may consider equitable to Participants and in the best interests of the Company.
(f) Transferability. In the discretion of the Committee, any Award may be made transferable upon such terms and conditions and to
such extent as the Committee determines, provided that Incentive Stock Options may be transferable only to the extent permitted by the Code. The Committee may in its discretion waive any restriction on transferability.
(g) Loans. The Committee may authorize the making of loans or cash payments to Participants in connection with the grant or
exercise any Award under the Plan, which loans may be secured by any security, including Common Stock, underlying or related to such Award (provided that the loan shall not exceed the Fair Market Value of the security subject to such Award), and
which may be forgiven upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish at the time of such loan or at any time thereafter.
(h) Withholding Taxes. The Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Committee for payment of,
any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Company and its Affiliates may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant hereunder or otherwise. In addition, a Participant may direct the Company to satisfy such Participant’s tax obligations through the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise to be
acquired upon the exercise of payment of an Award, but only to the extent such withholding does not cause a charge to the Company’s financial earnings.
(i) Foreign Nationals. Awards may be made to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States on such
terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as the Committee considers necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with applicable laws.
(j) Amendment of Award. Subject to Section 5(f), the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award,
including substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option and enter into and execute any repricing transaction
including but not limited to reducing the exercise price of such Award. Any such action shall require the Participant’s consent unless:
A-7
(i) In the case of a termination of, or a reduction in the number of shares
issuable under, an Option, any time period relating to the exercise of such Option or the eliminated portion, as the case may be, is waived or accelerated before such termination or reduction (and in such case the Committee may provide for the
Participant to receive cash or other property equal to the net value that would have been received upon exercise of the terminated Option or the eliminated portion, as the case may be); or
(ii) In any other case, the Committee determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially
and adversely affect the Participant.
(k) Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Option, Performance Award or other Award or Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit granted to a Reporting Person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be subject to any
additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application
of such exemptive rule, and this Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such limitations.
(l) Approval
of Plan by Stockholders. This Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders within twelve months after the date of the Board’s adoption of this Plan. All Options, Awards, Restricted Stock and Restricted
Units granted under the Plan prior to this restatement, which was approved by Shareholders, shall not be effected by the following sentence. Options or other Awards may be granted and Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be awarded prior
to such stockholder approval, provided that such Options or other Awards shall not be exercisable and such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall not vest prior to the time when this Plan is approved by the stockholders, and provided
further that if such approval has not been obtained at the end of said twelve (12) month period, all Options previously granted shall be deemed Non-Qualified Options.

Exhibit 10.2
LAMAR ADVERTISING COMPANY
2019 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(as proposed to be amended and restated May 14, 2026)
1. Purpose.
This 2019 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is adopted by Lamar Advertising Company (the “Company”) to provide Eligible Employees who wish to become shareholders of the Company an opportunity to purchase shares of Class A Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). The Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and the provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423; provided that, if and to the extent authorized by the Board, the fact
that the Plan does not comply in all respects with the requirements of Section 423 shall not affect the operation of the Plan or the rights of Employees hereunder.
2. Certain Definitions.

five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary corporation, determined in accordance with Section 423.
1
Subject to the foregoing requirements of this section, an Employee covered by a collective
bargaining agreement will be considered eligible for participation in the Plan unless the labor organization representing such Employee in collective bargaining has made an affirmative decision on the part of the applicable labor organization not to
participate in the Plan. To the extent an individual becomes an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with an acquisition, the following shall apply: (i) if the acquisition is structured as a stock or equity
transaction, each individual will be credited with service with the acquired company, and (ii) if the acquisition is structured as an asset transaction, each individual will not be credited with service with the acquired business unless
expressly provided in the applicable purchase agreement.
(e) “Employee” means an employee (as that term is used in
Section 423) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Plan, the employment relationship shall be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on military leave, sick leave, or other leave of absence approved by
the Company or a Subsidiary that meets the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h)(2).
(f) “Fair Market Value” of a Share shall mean the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee.
(g) “Full-time Employee” is an Employee whose customary employment is for 40 hours per week in the calendar year during which
the respective Offering Commencement Date occurs.

2
(o) “Subsidiary” means a subsidiary corporation, as defined in Section 424
of the Code, of the Company the Employees of which are designated by the Board of Directors or the Committee as eligible to participate in the Plan.
3. Administration of the Plan.
The Committee shall administer, interpret and apply all provisions of the Plan as it deems necessary or appropriate, subject, however, at all
times to the final jurisdiction of the Board of Directors. The Board may in any instance perform any of the functions of the Committee hereunder. The Committee may delegate administrative responsibilities to the Coordinator, who shall, for matters
involving the Plan, be an ex officio member of the Committee. Determinations made by the Committee and approved by the Board of Directors with respect to any provision of the Plan or matter arising in connection therewith shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon the Company and upon all participants, their heirs or legal representatives. The Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws
and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax,
withholding procedures and handling of share certificates. The Committee may also adopt sub-plans applicable to particular designated Subsidiaries or locations, and, with respect to Subsidiaries outside the
United States, determine that a sub-plan shall not be considered to be part of an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423.
4. Shares Subject to the Plan.
(a) The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of rights granted under the Plan shall be equal to (a) the
number of Shares remaining available on the Plan’s restatement date, plus (b) 500,000 Shares plus (c) an annual increase to be added on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company beginning with the 2020 fiscal year equal to the
least of (i) 500,000 Shares, (ii) one-tenth of one percent of the total number of Shares outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year, and (iii) a lesser amount determined by the
Board. Appropriate adjustments in such amount, the number of Shares covered by outstanding rights granted hereunder, the securities that may be purchased hereunder, the Exercise Price, and the maximum number of Shares or other securities that an
employee may purchase (pursuant to Section 8 below) shall be made to give effect to any mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends or other relevant changes in the capitalization of the Company
occurring after the original effective date of the Plan; provided that any fractional Share otherwise issuable hereunder as a result of such an adjustment shall be adjusted downward to the nearest full Share. Any agreement of merger or consolidation
involving the Company will include appropriate provisions for protection of the then existing rights of participating employees under the Plan. Either authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares may be purchased under the Plan. The Committee
may impose restrictions on transfer on Shares purchased under the Plan. If for any reason any right under the Plan terminates in whole or in part, Shares subject to such terminated right may again be subjected to a right under the Plan.
3
(b) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding right to purchase Shares will
be equitably adjusted and assumed or an equivalent right to purchase Shares substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation in a Corporate Transaction does
not assume or substitute for the purchase right or the successor corporation is not a publicly traded corporation, the then-current Offering shall be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date on which the Offering shall end. The new Purchase Date
shall occur before the date of the Corporate Transaction. Before the new Purchase Date, the Committee shall provide each participating Employee with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and that the participating
Employee’s right to purchase Shares shall be exercised automatically on such date, unless prior to such date, the participating Employee has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 5. For purposes of this Section 4,
“Corporate Transaction” means a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization, or other corporate event described in Code Section 424.
(c) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering then in
progress shall be shortened by setting a new Purchase Date and the Offering shall end immediately before the proposed dissolution or liquidation. The new Purchase Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or
liquidation. Before the new Purchase Date, the Committee shall provide each participating Employee with written notice, which may be electronic, of the new Purchase Date and that the participating Employee’s right to purchase Shares shall be
exercised automatically on such date, unless prior to such date, the participating Employee has withdrawn from the Offering in accordance with Section 5.
5. Offerings; Participation.
(a)
From time to time, the Company, by action of the Committee, will grant rights to purchase Shares to Eligible Employees pursuant to one or more Offerings, each having an Offering Commencement Date, an Offering Termination Date, and one or more
Purchase Dates as designated by the Committee. No Offering may last longer than twenty-seven (27) months or such longer period as may then be consistent with Section 423. The Committee may limit the number of Shares issuable in any
Offering, either before or during such Offering.
(b) Participation in each Offering shall be limited to Eligible Employees who elect to
participate in such Offering in the manner, and within the time limitations, established by the Committee. No person otherwise eligible to participate in any Offering under the Plan shall be entitled to participate if he or she has elected not to
participate. Any such election not to participate may be revoked only with the consent of the Committee.
(c) An Employee who has elected
to participate in an Offering may make such changes in the level of payroll deductions as the Committee may permit from time to time, or may withdraw from such Offering, by giving written notice to the Company before any Purchase Date. No Employee
who has withdrawn from participating in an Offering may resume participation in the same Offering, but he or she may participate in any subsequent Offering if otherwise eligible.
4
(d) Upon termination of a participating Employee’s employment for any reason,
including retirement but excluding death or disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary, such Employee will be deemed to have withdrawn from participation in all pending Offerings
to the extent administratively feasible.
(e) Upon termination of a participating Employee’s employment because of disability or
death, the Employee or his or her Designated Beneficiary, if any, as the case may be, shall have the right to elect, with respect to each Offering in which the Employee was then participating, by written notice given to the Coordinator within 30
days after the date of termination of employment (but not later than the next applicable Purchase Date for each Offering), either (i) to withdraw from such Offering or (ii) to exercise the Employee’s right to purchase Shares on the
next Purchase Date of such Offering to the extent of the accumulated payroll deductions in the Employee’s account at the date of termination of employment. If no such election with respect to any Offering is made within such period, the
Employee shall be deemed to have withdrawn from such Offering on the date of termination of employment. The foregoing election is not available to any person, such as a legal representative, as such, other than the Employee or a Designated
Beneficiary.
(f) Subject to the discretion of the Coordinator, if a participating Employee is granted a paid leave of absence, payroll
deductions on behalf of the participating Employee will continue and any amounts credited to the participating Employee’s contribution account may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock as provided under the Plan. If a participating
Employee is granted an unpaid leave of absence, payroll deductions on behalf of the participating Employee will be discontinued and no other contributions will be permitted (unless otherwise determined by the Coordinator or required by applicable
law), but any amounts then credited to the participating Employee’s contribution account may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock on the next applicable Purchase Date. Unless otherwise required by statute, in the event a participating
Employee is on a leave of absence for a period exceeding six months, such Employee will not be automatically enrolled in the Plan during any subsequent Offering.
(g) The number of Shares that a participating Employee may purchase in an Offering under this Plan may be reduced if the Offering is
oversubscribed. No right to purchase Shares granted under this Plan shall permit a participating Employee to purchase Shares that, if added together with the total number of Shares purchased by all other participating Employees in such Offering,
would exceed the total number of Shares remaining available under this Plan. If the Committee determines that, on a particular Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which rights to purchase Shares are to be exercised exceeds the number
of Shares then available under this Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Committee determines to be equitable.
6. Exercise Price.
The rights
granted under the Plan shall be exercised and Shares shall be purchased at a price per Share (the “Exercise Price”) determined by the Committee from time to time; provided that the Exercise Price shall not be less than eighty-five
percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on (a) the respective Offering Commencement Date or (b) the respective Purchase Date, whichever is lower.
5
7. Exercise of Rights; Method of Payment.
(a) Participating Employees may pay for Shares purchased upon exercise of rights granted hereunder solely through regular payroll deductions.
No interest shall be paid upon payroll deductions (whether or not used to purchase Shares) unless specifically provided for by the Committee. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under this Plan may be used by the Company for any
corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such amounts.
(b) Subject to any applicable limitation on purchases
under the Plan, and unless the Employee has previously withdrawn from the respective Offering, rights granted to a participating Employee under the Plan will be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date of the respective Offering coinciding with
the Offering Termination Date, and the Committee may provide that such rights may at the election of the Employee be exercised on one or more other Purchase Dates designated by the Committee within the period of the Offering, for the purchase of the
number of Shares that may be purchased at the applicable Exercise Price with the accumulated payroll deductions as of the respective Purchase Date. Fractional Shares will be issued under the Plan, unless the Committee determines otherwise. If
fractional Shares are not issued, any amount that would otherwise have been applied to the purchase of a fractional Share shall be retained and applied to the purchase of Shares in the following Offering unless the respective Employee elects
otherwise. The Company will deliver to each participating Employee or to an account of the participating Employee designated by the Committee evidence of ownership of the shares of Common Stock purchased within a reasonable time after the Purchase
Date in such form as the Committee determines will give the participating Employee full ownership of and rights to transfer the Shares. The Committee may require that the participating Employee hold such Shares in an account of the participating
Employee designated by the Committee.
(c) Any amounts withheld from the Employee’s compensation that are not used for the purchase
of Shares, whether because of such Employee’s withdrawal from participation in an Offering (voluntarily, upon termination of employment, or otherwise) or for any other reason, except as provided in Section 7(b), shall be repaid to the
Employee or his or her Designated Beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable, within a reasonable time thereafter.
(d) The
Company’s obligation to offer, sell and deliver Shares under the Plan at any time is subject to (i) the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorized issuance or sale of such Shares,
(ii) satisfaction of the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed, and (iii) compliance, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws.
6
8. Limitations on Purchase Rights.
(a) Any provision of the Plan or any other employee stock purchase plan of the Company or any subsidiary (collectively, “Other
Plans”) to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted the right to purchase Common Stock (or other stock of the Company and any subsidiary) under the Plan and all Other Plans at a rate that exceeds an aggregate of $25,000 (or
such other maximum as may be prescribed from time to time by Section 423) in Fair Market Value of such stock (determined at the time the rights are granted, and which with respect to the Plan, will be determined as of their respective Offering
Commencement Dates) for each calendar year in which any such right is outstanding.
(b) An Employee’s participation in any one or a
combination of Offerings under the Plan shall not exceed such additional limits as the Committee may from time to time impose.
9. Tax
Withholding.
Each participating Employee shall pay to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, or make provision satisfactory to
the Committee for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the purchase or disposition of Shares no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. In the Committee’s discretion and subject to applicable
law, such tax obligations may be paid in whole or in part by delivery of Shares to the Company, including Shares purchased under the Plan, valued at Fair Market Value on the date of delivery. The Company or the applicable Subsidiary may, to the
extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Employee or withhold Shares purchased hereunder, which shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the date of withholding.
10. Participants’ Rights as Shareholders and Employees.
(a) No participating Employee shall have any rights as a shareholder in the Shares covered by a right granted hereunder until such right has
been exercised, full payment has been made for such Shares, and the Share certificate is actually issued.
(b) Neither the adoption,
maintenance, nor operation of the Plan nor any grant of rights hereunder shall entitle any Employee to continued employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary or restrict the right of any of such entities to terminate such
employment or service or otherwise change the terms of such employment or service at any time or for any reason
11. Rights Not Transferable.
Rights under the Plan are not assignable or transferable by a participating Employee other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and, during the Employee’s lifetime, are exercisable only by the Employee. The Company may treat any attempted inter vivos assignment as an election to withdraw from all pending Offerings.
7
12. Amendments to or Termination of the Plan.
The Board shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time without notice, subject to any stockholder approval that the
Board determines to be necessary or advisable; provided that the rights of Employees hereunder with respect to any ongoing or completed Offering shall not be adversely affected.
13. Governing Law.
Subject to
overriding federal law, the Plan shall be governed by and interpreted consistently with the laws of Delaware.
14. Effective Date and Term.
This Plan originally became effective on July 1, 2019. No rights shall be granted under the Plan after July 1, 2036 (unless
terminated earlier pursuant to the Plan).
